Background
Seiji Asoh is a serial killer from Tokyo, where he's known as Narumi Asa, a female doctor from Tsukikage Island after graduation who liked to heal children, but he commits suicide after having been uncovered for the serial murders he had done. His father was Keiji Asoh, a famous musician. One night twelve years ago, Keiji along with his wife and his younger daughter, was killed in a fire. Everyone assumed that he had murdered his family and committed suicide. Seiji wasn't killed, because he had been in a hospital in Tokyo. Later, he got adopted by Asai, a friend of his family.

Plot overview
Conan deduced that the killer is Narumi Asai and that she is, in fact, Keiji Asoh's aforementioned son, Seiji Asoh. He murdered Hideo Kawashima, Ken Nishimoto, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and Isamu Kameyama because they used his father's international concerts as a front for their international drug trade and, when he stated who wouldn't cooperate any longer, they got scared that their secret might be exposed, so they locked the family in their home and set it on fire.
As Conan-through-Kogoro explained all of this, suddenly the police came in and said that Seiji/Narumi had escaped. While they were looking for him, the community center building suddenly went up in flames: it turns out Seiji, who had realized that he had been found out, locked himself inside and set it on fire, intending to die like his father. Conan, carrying Asoh's last music sheets with his message for the then-young Seiji, managed to slip in and told Seiji, who was sitting at the piano, to keep on living. Seiji confirmed that he was the young boy who escaped his family's murder, plus everything that Conan-through-Kogoro had already said. When Seiji was done, Conan insisted that he should escape and live. Seiji refused, however, saying that he was already too bloodstained. Then, he grabbed Conan and threw him through the window, saving his life. Afterwards, he played one last music code message in the burning flames: "Thank you, little detective".
After Seiji's death and the end of the case, Conan and Ran talked about him. They wondered why did Seiji summon Kogoro when he knew how risky that would be for his plan, and Conan speculated that it wasn't just a challenge: that deep down, Seiji wanted Kogoro to stop him.
Aftermath
Seiji's death left an impression on Conan, who might feel that he is no more different than a murderer for driving Seiji to suicide with his deduction and didn't manage save him.
Personality
He's very nice towards other people, especially children.
