Elex's Detektif Conan vol 64 preview—Satu-satunya petunjuk adalah lagu Let It Be yang disiulkan oleh pelaku
—sounded familiar and some flipping back to July answered the Why?
It was Shonen Star 13's Detektif Conan preview.

Published in Indonesia as Detektif Conan by Elex Media
I'm still no lawyer (not to mention remain a Conan virgin), so that
The statute of limitations on the unsolved 20-year old murder of Detective Morimura, Commissioner Matsumoto's subordinate, is set to expire. But a string of copycat killings extends the deadline. With clues thin on the ground—only the killer's Let It Be whistling as guide—Conan aids the police in tracking down the perp.
continues to be problematic. As I mentioned in that July post, apparently, Japan abolished the statute of limitations for murder in 2010, leading me to wonder whether that Under the new Law, the statute of limitations is not applied for crimes that are subject to the death penalty, such as murder and robbery that result in death
amendment had been Aoyama Gosho-sensei's inspiration. (Prolly not cuz volume 64 streeted April 2009.) In any case, not much has changed since I adapted the blurb, or in short, I still don't know what I'm talkin' about. >.<
The one certain thing: There's also the case of Saba, Koi, Tai and Hirame, and the beginning of another run in with Phantom Thief Kid,
the latter previewed in Wiki's Case Closed volume 64 summary.
Conan volume 64 compiles chapters 664 through 674: Ikkaku Rock,
Mackerel Carp Sea Bream Flounder
(that's Saba Koi Tai Hirame
), Thirst for Blood,
Scar,
The Boy of Memory,
Gari-kun,
The One Who Whistles,
The Connection,
ESWN,
The Common Pattern
and Iron Tanuki.

New Elex titles
Despite being credited to Kiuchi Tatsuya (on the cover), Exposing Game or Sarashi Asobi, one of three newbs this release, is by Tobina Toya, manga-ka of the mysophobic Keppeki Shounen Kanzen Soubi or Mr. Super Clean (m&c! license). Another premiere is Dalam Atap di Bawah Langit, the Manga Time Kirara 4-koma Sora no Shita Yane no Naka by Futami Sui. Look for the latter's preview after the release list. Imma expose Exposing Game up here. (For the lowdown on local comic Bengal: Circle of Crime, check out LXO's thread. You already know Bayu Indie's Bengal, don't you?)
