File 954: The punishment of betrayal

Bourbon is driving along the city and seems to be lost in thoughts as he skips a crossroad where he wanted to turn right. He approaches something important, and is given orders to dispose of "it" before it goes public...

Conan, Ran, Sonoko and Okiya are cleansing up the Kudo house. Sonoko admits that she invited Sera to join them but couldn't because she had to move to a different hotel. Okiya asks the 3 of them about wheter there's "someone odd" around Sera. He's looking for the mysterious go-getter SP "ASACA" but it'd seem that Sonoko and Ran haven't seen anyone who stood out around Sera.

When Okiya brings out the name Sonoko talks about another topic: the rock musician Hado Rokumichi has announced a new song after 17 years. The title's "ASACA".
This has to be related to RUM! Conan and Okiya feel that so they agree to join Sonoko and Ran to go see a reharsal before Rokumichi does the live.

However, when they reach the hall they and others are halted by the manager who argues that the song lyrics aren't completed yet so no-one can come in.
The backband and the staff have all left and the stage's empty.

The president of the record company with whom they've signed an agreement has tried many times to convince Rokumichi not to retire after this live but Rokumichi hasn't changed his mind: he plans to announce it during tomorrow's live. An unscrupulous reporter who's sneaked into hall has come to rummage but the manager has kicked them out with the helpf the staff working on the outside.

Sonoko says that if they can't see the reharsal then there's nothing they can do: not like they are passionate fans either. Just as she suggests that they go back Amuro and Azusa show up together. Amuro had told Sonoko he's a fan of Rokumichi at the Poirot and that Sonoko had arranged to come see this reharsal of the day before the live: Azusa had decided to come along as well.

Sonoko and Ran are about to go back with Conan and leave the 3 adult fans there: Conan tells Azusa that she's good at playing the guitar and Azusa admits it without doubting. Conan then says that back when the girl band case Azusa had said that she'd never played the guitar: Azusa argues that she thought it was embarassing to try to play together with high school girls.

Upon hearing that Conan decides that "Azusa" must be Vermouth: Conan knows that Okiya's Akai so if Azusa found out Akai would be killed. He warns Okiya by whispering into the ear about Vermouth.

But then their reason to leave the scene is crushed by another reason: some firefigthers come to inspect the equipment and, when they open the door of the audience's seats, Rokumichi's hanged corpse is found hanging over the stage.

Side-note: the musician hanged high in the air. What's the explanation for this mysterious situation...!?

Demenziale che sia Conan che Akai possano pensare che Asaca sia una canzone su Rum, ma interessante che Vermouth sia tornata in azione. Certo, visto che questa potrebbe essere la prima volta che riconoscono la WIB in anticipo sarebbe intelligente chiamare la polizia e arrestarla subito ma vabè...
