(Too bad he reacts to the dub.)

Dr Mike did the same a while ago. He used the OV though:

No shock I suppose that Kotori really is not that useful . Someone needs to attack Takao, it's the only time he comes in handy . Also how slow is this guy? He really needed it to be spelled out why Takao was looking into this case!? I know she loves medical mysteries, but she had to look into it to know it even was one! Come on!

Oh well. A good old closed room murder is perfectly valid.

Lot of interesting elements to be sure. The brother actually has valid reason to be mad enough to try for murder and wonderfully left himself with no alibi. His father is also suspicious. We are presuming that the phone call to him was legitimate and not something he made up. If he knew his son was drowning then he could have paced things appropriately to leave him no chance to survive. Plus how was someone actively drowning calling for help anyways?

[Jaden]

It is supposed to be a medical mystery, isn't it? Then my feeling is that it's not the usual drowning, but some condition or poison that causes body fluid to rapidly accumulate in the lungs.

An extreme blood pressure spike in the lungs could do it, for example from heart failure, when blood backs up in the pulmonary veins. The grandpa looks like he has a weak heart too.

For poisons there's a long list, but for example inhaling too much meth could do it, or certain pesticides.

Pretty low confidence but I'll go with an inheritable heart defect. No culprit, that way Kotori won't have to change jobs. And the good brother wouldn't have it because he's a half-brother.

[grecefar]

Well, I think we can rule out the prime suspect since kotori needs to stay with takao at the end of this mystery.

[Kanon]

Locked room mystery, huh. Not much of a locked room when we know there are two sets of keys though. Someone could have just stolen the younger brother's key. His innocence is already proven since Takao needs him to be innocent to keep Kotori.

[Thor's Hammer]

That woman in the plastic surgery department who may have been cheating on her husband with Seiji is the prime suspect to me.

[Nachtwandler]

My bet is on hospital director at the moment. But we'll see.

Now, now. He's not just her bodyguard, he's also her chauffeur.

I don't think it's much of a motive. Especially for an elaborate murder like that. I want to call it natural causes. Because the dead guy was an asshole. Not that his father was blameless.

[grecefar]

they may denied it but they are into each other, cute moment in the car.

it has to be the one who did the cpr in the video, ryuichiro was it?

[FlareKnight]

Going to be honest my first thought with Takao's attempt to trick the police was that they definitely were going to be interrogated if Kotori is hugging a loli in his car at that time of night ! Well I suppose it's tough to tell that for sure with a passing glance... Cute scene though. These two have a long way to go with how their personalities are. But that was amusing.

It's like the show heard me and decided to give Kotori a chance to sound like he knows what he's talking about. Almost like he's a real doctor . Also Anh_Minh has a point. I should give him credit for being a competent chauffeur . But honestly I'm glad they are close to the conclusion of this. I'll agree it probably does have to do with the guy that attempted cpr. Maybe he did something odd in terms of the steps or there's something he as the one doing cpr should have noticed before the water fountain happened.

Hilarious that they spent enough time discovering the whole affair thing...and it wasn't even helpful !

[AC-Phoenix]

Guessing what it is now...
The odd thing was the guy putting an ear onto the deceased's chest while he was fully clothed.

Just look back a few episodes and look at a similar situation involving Gyaru-Sensei (Being a side character, that name actually stuck more than her real one ) .

One of them checked for pulse, while the other tried listening for heart beat while not even removing all the clothes. What he should have checked for is breathing.

However, even if he checked for breathing there, he skipped the pulse part.

[serenade_beta]

Since Takao is a loli, it would have been funnier if the police stopped to interrogate them for pedophilia, but I guess they instead have her hating vegetables (generic kid trope)

Also, lol, who is this?

A bit weird they ended the episode there because it seems pretty obvious the culprit is the brother/uncle since he's the one who attempted to perform CPR in the video. Pretty sure the dad feeling so sick he vomited is also related to whatever happened to the victim.

[Anh_Minh]

I thought Kotori was going to get the "FBI! Open up!" treatment... "She's your 28 years old boss? Say it to the judge, you sicko!"

I'm wondering if the room had been full of some gas, and the dad got a lungful when he walked into the room before it had all dissipated, which made him throw up.

Also reckon that plate which was closing off a fireplace in one room has some part to play - suppose someone used the chimney to access the locked room?

[Nachtwandler]

Or maybe there was something in the drinks that only affected family members.

Yeah, I'm guessing that is the odd thing. You can't really tell whether someone's alive that fast, just by pressing your ear to the chest. He called it in one second.

Seems like it's murder after all. If I understood correctly, that guy who rushed in to resuscitate Daiki is the new hospital director. Probably silenced Daiki to hide his involvement in drug trade. And I guess the weapon is amphetamines, which could produce the "drowning" effect.

The dad said he had been feeling sick for a few days, so I think his brother was in the process of poisoning him so he'd die before he could officially name Seiji as the chairman, but the son coming back provided him with an alternate opportunity to frame Seiji instead.

[Kanon]

The conclusion was better than I expected. It turns out no murder was committed and it would have been easy to figure out if an autopsy had been allowed. The irony that the dad cremating the body to get rid of the evidence that might incriminate Seiji is exactly what almost landed him in jail is delicious.

Overall, this show was a disappointment, but I don't think the mystery were actually bad. It was more of a combination of bad animation and boring characters (they also seemed more interested in shilling Ayaneru than in the work itself). If the live action tweaks a few things (they always do), it could very well be a big hit. They cast Kanna Hashimoto who is 152cm as Takao and the guy playing Kotori is 181cm, so the height guy will be right, at least!
