Recap of Episode 2
Episode 2 opened dramatically, with Reiko claiming she had solved the latest murder case, only for her to collapse suddenly. This moment led to Kageyama shutting the blinds as Reiko used her phone’s flashlight to interrogate suspects. Flashbacks revealed critical details, including a suspect wearing alexandrite jewelry, implicating Hinako as the murderer due to a convoluted past involving personal vendettas.
As the episode progressed, the investigation intensified with a focus on Kinue Kodama, a prominent realtor whose death left behind a mysterious dying message. The plot thickened as Kageyama and Reiko uncovered connections among Kinue’s children that suggested all had motives. The episode closed with Kageyama learning about the crime via news, indicating his potential involvement in the unfolding drama.
Speculations for Episode 3
Looking ahead to Episode 3, viewers can expect a deeper dive into Reiko and Kazamatsuri’s frustrations as they grapple with unanswered questions. The discovery of a key at the crime scene should initiate new leads, allowing them to eliminate at least one suspect. Additionally, Reiko is likely to face Kageyama outside, where his concern about her exhaustion may prompt a deeper alliance in solving the intricate case that lies ahead.
As the narrative unfolds, Reiko’s revelation about her identity and Kageyama’s role in the investigation is expected to add layers of complexity to their dynamic.
