The Case of the Yadagami-sama Murders Pt. 4

**The Case of the Yadagami-sama Murders Pt. 4** (夜蛇神様殺人事件④, *Yoru yagamisama satsujin jiken ④*) is the 21th chapter of the *Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective* manga.

## Summary

Aimee Emmerich holds a file. She tells Spitz that in trying to steal the file on Ron Kamonohashi, he must be prepared for the consequences. Spitz confidently says of course he is. He owes Ron a great debt! Whatever happens, he will have no regrets. Emmerich says she has a request for him.

Back in Ron's apartment, Toto welcomes Spitz as Ron stands trembling on the futon mats. Toto notices that Ron is so nervous he is shaking. But Spitz says the file was not there. Ron flops backward onto the futon mats in frustration. Spitz however says he does have a message. The principal said it was absolutely vital that he relay it to him. Ron twitches as this. Spitz shows them a tablet, saying the message is in it, and the message will erase itself after Ron reads it, so be careful.

Ron sits up and takes the tablet. The tablet first shows a coded message of letters and numbers, which Ron says will not take long to solve. Toto offers that they head somewhere else so they would not get in his way, but Ron interrupts him, saying the password needs Toto and Spitz's personal info.

The three sit on the chairs. Toto says that since it is a message for Ron, it is alright for them to hear it? Ron says that the reason the password was related to the two of them is because the principal wants them both to hear.

Ron reads the message: The situation is urgent, therefore she decided to tell him the truth. The lead he is searching for regarding the Bloody Field Trip has already been deleted from both the police and Blue's records. The blood that was discovered at the crime scene belonged to neither Ron nor the victims. However, they were unable to crack the mystery behind the formidable locked room murder, and were therefore unable to clear away the suspicion placed on Ron. In the meantime, all information regarding that blood was deleted from their files. But after Grizzly was killed and she received word that the symbol on Ron's neck was left behind at the crime scene, she arrived at a firm conviction: the incident five years ago was committed by a certain organization, and he was falsely accused. Ron received the 96 mark on his neck while he was undergoing medical treatment following the incident, and with it was implanted the compulsion to pressure criminals to self-harm. There is only on organization in the world capable of something like this: the M family.

Ron informs that it is said that all the world's crimes passes through the M family. They are history's greatest crime family and 100% of the cases they are directly involve in go unsolved. Spitz adds there are a handful of cases that even Blue's superior graduates are unable to solve, and it's said that 90% of them are related to the M family in some way. Toto is concerned: an organization like that is targeting Ron?

Spitz tells Ron to continue reading, and he does: The principal also wishes to renew a search for the truth, but she has learned that there is currently an M family informant within Blue, so thy must proceed with caution. Spitz does not seem to be aware of this spy in the school. Ron continues: that is why she had no choice but to send a message in the manner she did. She holds his talent in very high regard, and eagerly awaits the day when his name is cleared, and she can reinstate his detective license. Ron's parents are old friends of the principal, and she has watched him ever since he was born. It makes her happy to hear that he recently made friends he can trust. Emmerich tells Totomaru Isshiki and Spitz to please take good care of Ron, and please be careful.

Toto declares that they must arrest the M family and make them tell them everything they did to Ron. But Spitz immediately stops the thought. The M family cannot be dealt with that easily. All of Blue's graduates who have tried to get close to unsolved cases involving the M family have died under mysterious circumstances. When Toto asks in a panic if they were all murdered, Spitz says nobody knows the truth. Ron meanwhile trembles then stands. He is so excited he could not stop shaking. As long as Toto and he are solving cases, he is sure they will show up again. But they won't get away next time! They are going to drag the M family into the light!

In a mansion in England, a man in a mohawk informs a 'big bro' that a serial slasher Chris has a family, and is saying he wants to go straight. He does not know how to handle it, and considers slicing the man up and letting someone else take over. The addressed man in a suit says it is not a bad idea, but someone could come seeking revenge in 15 years, thus even young sprouts must be cut out root and branch (probably meaning to eliminate the entire young family). The man in the mohawk says of course.

A person in a jacket grumbles why does an organization that thorough allow a mix like *him* to keep living? The man in the mohawk tells Winter, the person, they cannot talk to 'big bro' like that. But the big brother asks in a smile if they mean Ron Kamonohashi. Winter says who else? The brother says Ron is their brother who shares the same blood. Winter protests, then what about Alice? She was their sister by that reasoning. The brother was not finished. To be precise, only the superior siblings will remain. He is still determining whether or not Ron has value as one of them. Winter protests again that Ron also has Sherlock Holmes's blood, that he will never be his brother. The brother asks Winter as he holds their face: are they still angry that he disposed of Alice? Winter slaps the hands away, telling him to let go. The brother continues, there is only one way to satisfy both their wishes: despair.

For a long time the M family's perfect crime has been hindered by Sherlock Holmes and his descendants. Since Ron Kamonohashi has inherited his blood, they absolutely cannot allow him to live his life as a detective. Therefore, they will give him despair. They will be able to determine whether or not he is an appropriate fit for the Moriarty family only after he has abandoned his deductive skills for good. And it does not matter if that means crippling him. Winter is in shock, but the brother says that would just mean that was all Ron was wroth.

Winter tells him he will go all out. The brother says he prepared a ticket to Japan for Winter. Mylo Moriarty, first child of the Moriarty family, tells Winter Moriarty, the fourth child, to go give Ron Kamonohashi a taste of the terror of the Moriarty family.

## Trivia

* In Volume 4, the steps to solve the tablet code are detailed. It has to be solved with the Dvorak keyboard. The numbers (18940503-19751009) are August Dvorak's birth and death dates. The code says: "d.b co Yryr abe Olcy:&o ol.jcan l.porb&o xcpydeafZ.""When is Toto and Spitz's special person's birthday?"
	+ Considering that the password requires the personal information of both Toto and Spitz, not the birthday of a special person Toto and Spitz share is searched. The code should, thus, actually be "When is Toto'**s** and Spitz's special person's birthday?"
