Kamakura Teahouse Murder Case

The Kamakura Teahouse Murder Case is a murder case that occurred in a teahouse in Kamakura.
It is the 28th main case in the Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective series, and the 4th case of part 2.
==Overview==
Because Kawasemi is visiting, Ron, Totomaru, and Chicory Monki decided to take him sightseeing Kamakura. There, they visit, i.a., the Tsurugaoka Hachiman shrine and the Great Buddha.
Eventually, they discover Kamakuya Sweets. Someone reserved the entire teahouse but cancelled last minute, allowing Toto, Ron, Chicory, and Kawasemi to rest and eat there. Besides them, only one other customer is present: Kay Moore.
Eventually, Hojo, the owner of a rival sweets shop, arrives and demands to speak to Kamakuya's manager. She believes he is ripping off her recipes; however, because he is busy evaluating new sweets in his office, Hojo soon leaves.
Not long afterward, a strange sound is heard, and when an employee, Ron, Toto, Chicory, and Kawasemi go to look for its source, they find the manager dead in his room. He has not been dead long and was struck in the head with a blunt object and likely stabbed afterward. Judging from the room's state, the manager seems to have struggled against his killer.
Further, the manager's hand is sticky and a "hydrangea" candy he designed is found in his mouth. The candy is allegedly a rip off of Hojo's "dew flower" candy.
After questioning everyone, Ron and the others return to the crime scene. Kawasemi notes that the room "seems different than when [they] first saw it." Two firm, broken pieces of yokan are discovered in the two top drawers of the dresser. They and the lowermost drawers are all open. Oddly, the center of the blood spray on the sliding screen does not line up with the owner's wound.
