Kyousuke has been arrested. Hagiwara Sakutarou, Nomura Kodou, and the others gather at the "milk hall," a small cafe serving European beverages and foods, to try to discover the truth of the situation. Each of the literary men unveil their deductions. Natsume Souseki introduces Akutagawa Ryuunosuke who also participates in the puzzle solving, but none of them come up with a deciding theory. As they ponder, a boy named Hirai Tarou steps forward. Hirai tells them that everything started two nights ago...
Otaki's offensive remarks caused 
Kindaichi-san to fly into a rage,
تعليقات أوتاكي المُهينة أغضبَتْ كيندايتشي-سان
haben Kindaichi-san die beleidigenden Worte
von Otaki so sehr getroffen,
Kindaichi se enfureció
al oír las burlas de Otaki y la mató.
Kindaichi enfureció
al oír las burlas de Otaki y la mató.
Kindaichi, enragé
par les propos humiliants d’Otaki,
Kindaichi, in preda a un accesso di collera
per le parole ingiuriose di Otaki,
as ofensas que a O-Taki disse fizeram
o Kindaichi ter um acesso de raiva
Киндайти убил О-Таки в порыве ярости
