All members of Imperial Palace need to be investigated, by person like Kousuke Kindaichi.

It is suicide season. Expect train delays. No evidence that this fellow is one of the hopeless but it would be nice if such people felt like they had other options. Life is pretty good, in my opinion.

It is possible he dropped dead; there is no need for speculation.
