==Biography==
===Target: World Detective Alliance Case===
After giving an interview in which he warned people about the current situation, Bran gathers with his colleagues Olivia Tay, Jaime Coxsone, and Mauro Bova. They speak about the murdered detectives and the chaos their deaths brought.
Bova mentions Ron Kamonohashi's theory that Alice Moriarty might be behind the killings and dismisses it, stating that "a little girl" could never commit a crime of such caliber. Bran, however, believes that Ron is right; after all, their investigation following the Cryptid Serial Murders Case confirmed Alice's existence. Further, because Alice destroyed the M. Family, they need to be particularly cautious.
Because branch directors in Asia are currently getting murdered, Bran calls Kei Moore, his former subordinate and the director of the Japan branch. He urges him to be careful and promises to send him the investigation file as a reference.
===Ferris Wheel Disappearance Case===
After Kei goes missing during the hide-and-seek game Alice invited him to, Bran, Bova, and Tay come together. Because Kei's case resembles the other ones, Tay is certain that he will be killed within a few hours. Unfortunately, no other high-ranking detective is nearby; only the unlicensed Ron is present, and Bran points out that he might be working for Alice.
Then, Coxsone arrives to inform everyone that his "Anti-Alice" Team managed to identify and infiltrate Alice's base; an armed assault squad is even surrounding it right now. A moment later, the special team's leader calls Coxsone to tell him that she and the others decided to leave the World Detective Alliance. After she ends the call, the assault team phones Coxsone, saying that they discovered the special team's discarded detective licenses.
Bran, Tay, and Bova are horrified when Coxsone educates them about this development.
===Ron Kamonohashi Under Siege Case===
Kei ultimately wins the hide-and-seek game and immediately heads to England at Bran's request. There, Bran tells him that because the Alliance is getting short-staffed, Kei will get a promotion and will have to oversee a wider area than just Japan. Bran also notifies Kei about the faith of the "Anti-Alice" Team and that Coxsone will resign tomorrow due to his special team's failure; Bran would then succeed him as chairman.
Kei congratulates Bran, but Bran has one more thing to tell him: He has a special assignment for him that "mustn't see the light of day"—restricting Ron's movements even with violent means because the Alliance found proof that Ron has been in contact with Alice. Kei refused the offer though. Bran subsequently sends other people to Ron.
Not long afterward, Bran receives a message from one of his men that says "That was a lie!" alongside a video. It was taken by Ron; in it, he shows Bran the men that were sent to him, now tied up and unconscious. Ron explains that he beat them up in "self-defence" after they acted violently in his home. Nevertheless, he will generously overlook this incident this time.
Ron then goes into hiding. Bran makes his people keep their eyes on Ron's associates, such as Totomaru Isshiki and Spitz Fire, and track down Ron.
