AD
The Game Master's deadly game continues, pitting Hajime and company against one lethal trap after another. In fact, it seems like the murderous mastermind wants to do away with all of the members. Will Hajime make it out of the Game Mansion alive, let alone unmask the Game Master?

More evidence backs the unpopular idea that the missing Inspector Kenmochi is targeting the former minors out of revenge for what they did to the teenaged Marina three years ago.

An accident happens, putting the wealthy, privileged diver into a coma. Was it down to the rumored "evil spirit of the diving pool"? Hajime suspects a more down-to-earth evil and investigates!
AD
One of Kindaichi's earliest cases is a delicate situation as the 14-year-old Hajime is on the trail of Miyuki's missing panties (and watch) from a campground. Complicating matters is the fact that Hajime himself is one of only three suspects, all of whom seem to have an ironclad alibi.
AD
Hajime and Akechi team up to expose Captain Shida's killer... or is that killers?! Whatever the case, it leads to a situation where the plane itself (including the hundreds of passengers inside) is put in a perilous position and only one person has a shot of saving them all... but it's not Hajime!

Hajime, Miyuki, Inspector Kenmochi, and Superintendent Akechi are on JAM flight 377, despite the terrorist threat received right before takeoff. They're getting closer to home when smoke suddenly fills the plane from the rear and the passengers panic, thinking it's terrorism.

Whose strings are the Puppeteer from Hell pulling and what is he going to make them do?!
