That's one hell of a way to find out you're being cheated on

I need to watch this again

The tension of this episode had me on the edge of my seat. I felt sorry for Urino first, he's definitely being played, but he became so full of himself that I actually want Osanai to crush him. This time she gives off strong Moriarty vibes right from the start, though I still think the one responsible for those fires is Hiya. I doubt he's innocent. After all, he's the one who led Urino to this case and encouraged him throughout.

Same

Yeah he's suspicious, but why would he burn the van Osanai was abducted in? It could be a coincidence of course, but still. Or Osanai has been influencing him too, but there haven't been hints towards that yet I think.

I've also thought about this possibility, but it weirds me out that Urino became so bold with Osanai right after Hiya told him to be assertive with her. Before their conversation Urino was intuitively cautious enough to not overstep her boundaries.

Sometimes I think Hiya's too suspicious to be such an obvious suspect, which is kind of suspicious in itself. Maybe not all of the arson cases were done by the same person. The first fires could have been a coincidence used as a cover-up to burn the van, and it would be easier to find some kind of pattern between just a few cases and deem it serial arson, like Urino did. Or someone tested the waters with those fires, Urino took the bait, and they decided it was safe to burn the van so no one thinks it was the initial target. Anyway, I hope Kobato solves the case soon enough, so my brain stops with all these theories.
