==Biography==
===History===
17 years ago, Dan met the crescent moon man online. They met up in London where the man treated him to a meal, which consisted of multiple courses, and hired him for a job: to lead Jim Gore out of an academic conference and to a pregnant woman. The crescent moon man paid Dan with an emerald which he has since sold.
===Plateau Auberge Serial Murders Case===
On the way to the Auberge Reunion, Dan meets Lenny Gardner, Ron Kamonohashi, and Totomaru Isshiki who are also headed there. Whereas Gardner mostly ignores Dan, Dan can start a conversation with Toto and Ron and later walks to the auberge with them.
At 6 p.m., Dan goes to the dining room with the other guests. When everyone is seated, the cook, Shusuke Sakai, brings out the courses one by one. Each of the four courses makes Dan uncomfortable, but he still eats them without remark. However, when Sakai brings out the dessert, Dan passes and says that he is full and only wants some coffee.
The next morning, Dan hears a weird noise from Gardner's room which is right next to his. He, Sakai, and Karen Lily go to check up on Gardner and knock, but he does not respond. When Ron and Toto arrive, Lily picks the lock of Gardner's door, and they find Gardner's corpse inside, lying on the ground with an ice pick lodged in his chest and covered and surrounded by flowers.
After Toto reveals himself as a police officer, he and Ron investigate the murder and send Sakai to call the local police. When Sakai returns and says that the landline does not work and that they have no phone reception, everyone goes to check the ropeway station, but it is out of service which means they are now stranded and isolated on the plateau. Sasaoka then runs away, and Toto and Ron hurry after him while Dan and the others return to the auberge.
Later, back at the auberge, Dan and the other guests hurry to Lily when they hear her scream. Lily tells them that she walked past the bathroom door when she saw that yesterday's menu was taped to it as well. They enter the bathroom and find Tom Sasaoka's corpse inside.
After examining the body and crime scene, Toto and Ron gather everyone in the dining room to ask them about their alibis at the time of Sasaoka's murder. Dan says that he was in his room. Nobody else has an alibi as well. Then, Toto explains that Gardner's and Sasaoka's murders were modelled after dishes from yesterday's dinner: Gardner was covered in flowers (the edible flower salad), and Sasaoka was placed in red-colored water (the lobster soup). However, while Mia Costa and Sakai do not know the meaning behind the dishes, Sasaoka knew it—and so do Bill Clark, Lily, and Dan.
Ron persuades them to confess, and the three admit they were hired by a man with a crescent moon mark 17 years ago to assist unknowingly to the murder of Jim Gore; Gardner, Sasaoka, and Mia's mother were involved as well. Dan and Lily then note Ron's resemblance to the crescent moon man which makes Clark suspect that Ron is the culprit. Toto and Dan come to Ron's defense: Toto reminds them that Ron was only a child 17 years ago and with him when Sasaoka was killed, and Dan says that the veracity of everyone else's story is just as suspect.
Afterward, Toto, Ron, Mia, and Lily decide to search the vacant rooms. Dan, Clark, and Sakai decline to participate as they want to rest after all the commotion. Sometime later, after Sakai informs everyone that he discovered Clark's corpse covered in extinguishing foam, Dan heads to the wine cellar with the others.
Toto examines the crime scene: Clark was strangulated, unlike Sasaoka and Gardner, and his body is still warm; and the crime scene is yet another reference to one of yesterday's dishes (fish steamed with white wine and foam garnish). When he is done, Totomaru asks what everyone was doing; again, none of the guests has an alibi.
Totomaru then checks the menu, and because "three varieties of roast game" is next on the list, Dan theorizes that three people might die at once next. The guests become nervous about this possibility, and Toto tells them to calm down and wait in the dining room while he and Ron investigate.
Later, Lily rushes outside as she wants to walk down the mountain, and Dan, Mia, and Sakai follow her and try to convince her to stay. When Lily is about to walk past a sign saying "Beware of landslides ahead!", Dan and Mia urge her to stop. Toto asks her why she is being so reckless, and Lily says she believes the culprit has a gun because she heard an explosive sound from Gardner's room when he died. Hearing that, Ron solves the case.
Thereafter, everyone assembles in the dining room, and Toto presents Ron's deductions: Gardner was not stabbed inside his room but in front of it. With his last strength, he locked himself in his room and grabbed a flower to hint at his killer. The culprit witnessed that through the window and took flowers from the garden, put them in a balloon, and slipped the balloon under the door. They then inflated it until it exploded, covering Gardner's body in flowers and making the crime scene look like the edible flower salad. Because of that, the murderer had to continue basing the crime scenes on the dishes.
Gardner did not speak Japanese. The flower he grabbed before his death is called "oniyuri" in Japanese—and "tiger lily" in English. Because Lily could have easily picked the lock of Gardner's room, Gardner could have only meant Tiger Dan. Furthermore, the culprit used the fire extinguisher from the hallway because they could not open a wine bottle: They could not get a corkscrew because Sakai was in the kitchen. They also could not break a bottle because it would dirty their clothes; they could not change as they had no more clean clothes: They had to change after fighting Sasaoka in the bath. All this indicates that Dan is the culprit: Sakai had access to a corkscrew after all, Mia brought a lot of clothes, and Lily cannot read Japanese and, thus, could not have known that the fire extinguisher contained foam, not powder.
Dan confesses that he killed so many people to reawaken Ron's Moriarty roots. That Ron could replicate Dan's criminal mind to solve the case shows that he still has a criminal's heart after all. Dan also wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate everyone involved in the Jim Gore Murder Case because the M. Family leaves no trace of its activities.
Ron freezes up. To Dan's surprise and shock, Toto then tells Ron to get a grip because he noticed that Dan is lying although he cannot figure out why.Ron does not understand what Toto means, and Toto points out that it is weird that Dan wants to kill everyone involved in the Jim Gore Case. After all, the M. Family only eliminates those who failed them and that crime 17 years ago was a success.
Dan tells everyone that the case was a failure from the M. Family's perspective because Jim Gore was supposed to be kidnapped, not murdered; they wanted to use him and his research to gain great wealth. For his mistake, Eliot was killed. Dan takes out his gun and points it at Mia and Lily which makes Ron recall his father and regain his resolve. He then confronts Dan: The reason why those involved in the Jim Gore Murder Case were not eliminated 17 years ago is that the M. Family did not know about their involvement until recently, having been outwitted by Eliot. Furthermore, Ron deduces that Gore must still be alive and was likely switched with a dummy corpse in the hospital's garden. After all, his father would always make sure that nobody got hurt and would have never handed over Gore or killed him. Dan confirms everything.
Ron starts to laugh and tells Dan that his plan to convince him to stop doing detective work has failed. Instead, the case made him even more determined to use his intellect to fight the M. Family. Toto orders Dan to drop the gun, but he refuses. Before he can pull the trigger, the teddy bear on Mia's lap starts to move and talk, introducing himself as the M. Family's eldest son Mylo Moriarty. He intended to watch everything silently but decided to reveal himself after Dan's plan failed; Dan is upset to hear him say that.
Ron orders Lily, Mia, and Sakai to cover their ears; if they do not hear any more about the M. Family, Mylo could let them go. Although Mylo praises Ron for the idea, he insists on eliminating everyone present. This enrages Totomaru and when he tells Mylo that he should not underestimate the Japanese police, Mylo replies that he is only still alive because he allows it.
Then, Ron's body starts to fail him; he starts to shake and sweat and sinks to his knees. Mylo concludes that this must be a side effect of the medication Ron is taking to counter Kill on Sight: The medication redirects Ron's murderous intent to his innards, and he will eventually succumb to the side effect if he keeps taking it. Furthermore, because Ron resisted Dan's poor attempt to convert him, Mylo gives him a reward: The person who modified his body is an M. Family member—and a spy at BLUE.
Ron's body suddenly starts to fail him; he starts to shake and sweat and sinks to his knees. Still, he confronts Mylo about keeping him alive simply to toy with him and giving him the Kill on Sight ability. Seeing Ron like this, Mylo concludes that it must be a side effect of the medication Ron is taking to counter Kill on Sight: The medication redirects Ron's murderous intent to his innards; the effects will get worse with every dose until he eventually succumbs to them. Ron replies that this does not matter and that Mylo should cure him if he does not want him to die. However, Mylo clarifies that he does not particularly care if Ron dies. Still, because Ron resisted Dan's poor attempt to convert him, he gives him a reward: The person who modified Ron's body after the Bloody Field Trip Case is indeed a member of the M. Family—and is currently a spy at BLUE.
Afterward, Mylo sets off the bomb planted in the Auberge Reunion for the main dish: three types of roast game. The building quickly catches fire, and Dan picks up Mylo's teddy bear and escapes.
