The Case of the Shibuya Revelation Serial Murders Pt. 6

**The Case of the Shibuya Revelation Serial Murders Pt. 6** (渋谷黙示録連続殺人事件⑥, *Shibuya mokushiroku renzoku satsujin jiken ⑥*) is the 27th chapter of the *Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective* manga.

## Summary

The confrontation continues at the roof deck. Ron asks if Winter is related to the crime king Moriarty. Winter pauses, then asks why they would answer that. Ron says that the moment of hesitation answered for them. If they were just a hired hand, he would have a response prepared, either pretending to be part of the M family or denying it. But that was a reaction he would expect from a member of the Moriarty family, who have never had their true identities revealed. Winter grits their teeth.

Ron says to give him an answer: why are they tareting him to relentlessly? What are the 9 and 6 they have been fixated on this whole case? What does the scar mean? Winter frowns and pauses, then answers that scar isn't suitable for Ron. Ron furiously demands what they mean. Winter says there is no need for him to know. He is good as buried anyway, 6th generation Holmes. He saw the message, right? Revelation 9:6 - He will get the agony that comes from wanting to die and not being able to. Ron confirms if the six is related to the 6th Holmes generation? Winter pauses again, and says they are done speaking of this.

Ron asks if somebody above them is keeping Winter from talking, and Winter pauses again. Ron says Winter say they wanted to kill him. But something is holding them back, and they are not too thrilled about it. Winter falters as they say they are not falling for that.

Winter directly admits they skewered the hacker on the unicorn in Shibuya mall park, and that they stabbed the second hacker in the scramble crossing. Toto knows this for what it is: Winter is directly confessing. Winter is clearly waiting for the Kill on Sight, knowing that it begins after the culprit's defeat.

Kill on Sight is activated, with Ron telling Winter to jump, those who toy with other's lives have no right to live in this world. Winter does not fall under the pressuring, simply observes that it is just as the observatory director reported. Toto does realize that Winter tried to activate the killing compulsion on purpose. Winter says they already prepared a defense against it. Ron's Kill on Sight repeats the order to jump, but Winter says they do not take orders from him. Toto realizes Winter is immune to the pressuring.

Winter raises a switch, saying if they do jump, it will be of their own will. They press the switch, a small bomb on the wall activates, and they blow up the glass behind Winter. Ron and Toto brace from the updraft of the explosion, but as the dust clears Ron says Winter is trying to escape. Ron says he feels honored that they consider him enough of a threat to force this condition on him! Tell that to their boss. Winter answers back for Ron not to push his luck. He will not get a second chance!

But a voice says into Winter's earpiece: You're the one who won't get a second chance. The Moriarty family does not permit failure. Winter recognizes it as their brother. Mylo through the earpiece says he had such high hopes for them. Then a loud shot, as Winter is hit on the left by an unknown hitman, and falls from the building. Ron and Toto find Winter on a lower level roofing.

Back in police headquarters, Toto is informed by Amamiya that the third hacker killed himself. On the way back to the station, he swallowed a hidden poison capsule. Amamiya could not believe it, he was crying and begging for his life when the culprit wrapped the bombs around him, and then took his own life. Toto tells his sempai that after going through something like that he thinks she should take some time off, but Amamiya says she feels more at ease at the headquarters. She identified Spitz as first the clerk from the Benizome hot springs who is now working for Kamoo's sweets company. But in the end, all the hackers are dead, and the culprit fell to their death. Toto is told to verify the culprit's corpse. But when Toto arrives at the morgue, he is shown a completely different man.

At Ron's apartment, Ron says that they got a glimpse of the M family's method, rewriting all the traces of their crime and burying all connections in darkness. But, Spitz says, they saw Winter get shot and fall, right? Ron says five seconds passes before they looked at the ground. Recovering the falling body on a lower floor and dropping a substitute body would be a piece of cake for the M family.

Toto says he was too naive. He knew the M family isn't the average crime organization, and he thought he was prepared, but they were more terrifying that he imagined. And now Ron is being targeted by people like that. He knows that they won't stand a chance against them unless they change the way they think about things. Ron says that both Toto and Spitz did well. He is the one who should be ashamed for playing right into his hand. But it would be a waste of time to get stuck in regret. They did manage to learn a few things about them.

Spitz notes that he intercepted a transmission the operative received just before they well, someone called them Winter. Ron says it could be a codename. Winter was fair when it came to the mysteries to solve, so he could almost feel the M family's conscience through them. Toto protests that Winter still killed two people. Ron adds that he could also feel the overwhelming darkness above Winter, the one they called 'brother'. In order to enjoy the cowardly crime methods they employ, he carved the scar into Ron and stole his detective license after he had become a hindrance. He, the brother, represents the family that has been repeating tragedies like the Shibuya case for over a hundred years. But he has no intention of backing down, Ron will put an end to them.

In England, an older man reports to Mylo that the final matters have been dealt with regarding the hacker disposal in Japan, that none of their information was leaked. Mylo asks into Winter, and the man says they are in critical condition and fighting for their life. According to the doctor, tonight will be the most dangerous time. Mylo harrumphs, then with a smile turns to the older man: dispose of the man who wounded Winter. It will be a lesson to the next family member.
