Ryunosuke needs to find a way to prove his innocence before they reach London, and desperately looks for some kind of proof with the help of Susato. During their search, they find a clue marked as “Madara’s String,” and what appears to be some kind of hidden message written on the floor.

Wherever there’s a mystery, you’ll find Sherlock Holmes. While he doesn’t exactly care for others and only wants to find the truth out for himself, he notices the possibility that Ryunosuke is not guilty of the crime.
