Detective Agency

Come in.

Excuse me.

Starting today, I transferred from the Haido City police box to the Beika City police box on 4-chome.

Yamasato Futoshi (28) Patrol Officer

My name is Yamasato Futoshi.

Officer Yamasato?

There's a case I'd like you to crack, Detective Mori Kogoro.

Crack a case?

Yes, crack a case.

Our story begins with a single phone call I received

at the Beika City 4-chome police box today.

Beika Police Station Beika 4-chome Police Box

Hello, this is Beika City 4-chome—

What? A dine and dash at a family restaurant?

I'll be right there!

I headed there immediately, but...

What? The dine and dash has been resolved?

Seconds before I arrived,

the blonde girl who dine and dashed returned with her mother to apologize.

Seconds before, huh?

We passed by each other.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I encountered a sobbing blonde girl and her mother,

who was supporting her, in front of the restaurant.

According to the mother, her daughter forgot her wallet and panicked.

So it's been solved, then.

Why don't we have a drink to celebrate?

No, thank you. I'm currently on duty.

And besides, the case isn't over yet.

The problem is what the waitstaff said.

They claim the girl who dine and dashed

and the girl who came to apologize seemed like completely different people.

The girl who dine and dashed was a blonde wearing sunglasses,

but she seemed like a different person from the girl who just came to apologize with her mother.

What do you mean?

When I brought the chocolate parfait to her table,

I got a glimpse of her face.

The smile she had then looked just like hers.

It's cold!

Her? You mean...

Apparently her smile looked just like that of idol Kakurai Kayoko.

Kakurai Kayoko (20) Idol

Kakurai Kayoko?

Actually... there was another similar case.

It happened three months ago at the police box in Haido City where I was stationed at the time.

Haido City Police Box #8

3 Months Earlier

Hello, this is Haido City 5-chome.

What? A dine and dash at a ramen restaurant?

Yes. I'll be right there.

New Haido Ramen Sasai

I headed there immediately, but...

What? The case has been resolved?

According to the owner, as in today's family restaurant case,

it was a blonde woman in sunglasses who dine and dashed.

As soon as she finished eating her ramen, she suddenly ran off.

The owner immediately called it in,

but after ten minutes, the blonde and a woman claiming to be her older sister showed up.

According to the sister, her younger sister forgot her wallet and panicked.

I see. Those are similar stories.

So, did the owner of the ramen restaurant also say

that the blonde with sunglasses looked like Kakurai Kayoko?

No.

What?

That evening, at the Haido City Hall, there was a DDPP handshake event.

Handshake Event Entrance

DDPP?

It's the idol group Kakurai Kayoko belongs to.

Kakurai Kayoko is the star of DDPP.

Kakurai Kayoko

Her smile is remarkably cute.

Her popularity alone has exploded.

At the Haido City handshake event, there was a huge line in front of only Kakurai Kayoko's booth.

But apparently, the other members thought poorly of her.

On one occasion, they became jealous of the amount of gifts she received.

On another occasion,

they all ignored Kakurai Kayoko when she showed up late to a dance lesson.

On yet another occasion, in the powder room...

Due to that string of incidents, the smile finally disappeared from her face.

She was taken away in an ambulance.

That night, the blonde in sunglasses dine and dashed at a ramen restaurant in Haido City.

I didn't get it at the time,

but after what the Beika City family restaurant waitstaff said today...

The smile of the blonde in sunglasses who dine and dashed

looked just like Kakurai Kayoko's.

That's when it clicked.

The blonde in sunglasses who dine and dashed

at a Haido City ramen restaurant three months ago

may have been Kakurai Kayoko as well.

After suffering the jealousy of the other DDPP members, Kakurai Kayoko was distraught.

She awoke in a hospital room and felt hungry.

She looked around the room and saw her bag there.

Inside her bag were the blonde wig and sunglasses she wore onstage.

Disguising herself using those, she left the hospital room

wandered around the city at night,

and eventually dine and dashed at a ramen restaurant.

The Truth Behind Kakurai Kayoko's Hiatus

Currently, Kakurai Kayoko is taking a break from the entertainment industry.

She's recuperating at a hospital in the countryside.

Did the distraught and recuperating Kakurai Kayoko leave the hospital in the countryside,

disguise herself as the blonde in sunglasses,

and dine and dash at a Beika City family restaurant?

Great Detective Mori Kogoro, I'd like to ask you again.

Please crack this case!

Huh? What? Incredible!

He's already asleep and solving—no, masterfully cracking the case while he naps!

What?!

He's just asleep because he drank too many beers.

I'm home!

Dad, listen to this.

Just now, at Beika Park...

Sorry for interrupting.

I'm currently cracking a case.

Cracking a case?

That's right. I'm cracking a case.

I asked for his help.

I'm Yamasato from the Beika City 4-chome police box.

Nice to meet you. I'm Mori's daughter Ran.

What case are you solving?

More importantly, Ran, weren't you about to say something?

Oh, right. I just saw her.

Saw who?

Kakurai Kayoko-chan.

What?!

What?!

Mori Detective Agency

You saw Kakurai Kayoko?

Where? Where did you see her?

Where? At Beika Park.

Tell me all about it!

On my way home from school just now,

I was walking through Beika Park with my friends.

It looked like there was an on-location shoot for a drama or movie.

We wanted to see who was appearing in it,

so we searched the area.

That's when we found a woman who looked like an attendant

standing in front of a van.

We were certain someone famous was inside.

We snuck behind the van without being seen by her and looked inside.

Start!

No.

No.

No, no.

I think they were filming Kakurai Kayoko-chan's first movie

after returning from her hiatus.

How old was Kakurai Kayoko's female manager?
