===Kamakura Teahouse Murder Case===
Akizuki is outside Kamakuya Sweets when Totomaru Isshiki, Ron Kamonohashi, Omito Kawasemi, and Chicory Monki arrive. When Ron becomes disappointed because a sign says that the teahouse is reserved today, Akizuki takes away the sign and informs him and the others that the reservation was cancelled and they are free to enter. He then takes their and another customer's, Kay Moore's, orders. Shortly afterward, Hojo comes and demands to speak to Kamakuya Sweets' manager because she believes he is ripping off her designs. Akizuki tells her that he is currently busy and unavailable, and Hojo leaves.
After Akizuki brings everyone their orders, a scream is heard coming from the main building. Akizuki, Ron, Toto, Chicory, and Kawasemi rush to find the source and discover the manager dead in his office. He wants to go and "stop the blood" but Kawasemi stops him as he should not disturb the crime scene. Then, he and Totomaru reveal that they are police officers and begin to investigate.
After the local police arrive, Kawasemi, Toto, and Ron interrogate Akizuki. He tells them that the manager shut himself in his room after noon because he wanted to test and judge his newest sweets. During that time, the manager always wants to be alone. When Toto, Ron, and Kawasemi talk about the candy they found in the shop owner's mouth, Akizuki suggests that the culprit might have stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from screaming.
After Toto, Kawasemi, and Ron have solved the case, they gather everyone to present their deductions: Akizuki killed the manager. He stabbed him beforehand and prepared the crime scene so that blood would splatter onto the screen while Akizuki was with the customers to give him an alibi. However, because Akizuki is the only suspect with an alibi and because Kawasemi and Ron noticed that he took the pouch used for his trick from the crime scene, they could figure out the mystery. Further, the manager put a "hydrangea" candy in his mouth as a dying message to refer to Akizuki: "Akizuki" is written with the same characters as "Meigetsu," a temple in Kamakura famous for its hydrangeas.
Akizuki confesses that he murdered the shop owner because he did not allow him to open a second branch, stating that he was not ready yet even though Akizuki thought he was. Akizuki is subsequently arrested.
