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...
I dragged you all into this 
ridiculous farce with me!
!أقحمتُكم معي جميعاً في هذه المهزلة السّخيفة
Tut mir fürchterlich leid, dass ich euch alle
in diese fürchterliche Farce reingezogen habe!
Los arrastré conmigo a esta farsa.
Os he arrastrado conmigo a esta farsa.
Je vous ai embarqués
dans une drôle d’histoire !
Vi ho trascinati tutti in questa terribile farsa...
Eu envolvi todos vocês
nessa farsa ridícula comigo!
Я втянул вас в этот дурацкий фарс!
