Ginshiro arrives at the crime scene at the Okera Theatre Troup building after three murders have occurred and quickly cordons the premises. He harshly scolds Goro Otaki for letting two more suspects die after the first murder. He first interrogates the suspects and quickly pinpoints holes in their alibis and how they could have killed the victims. During the investigation, he notices that the Kazuha at the scene is in fact none other than his wife in disguise and tells the group that "one person" (his wife in disguise) should not be at the crime scene. After securing the culprit at Naniwa Harukas, he confronts his wife and takes off her disguise, asking her what she is up to, to which she replies that she betted with Kazuha that she could pass off as a teenager if she wore a face-mask.
