Ep. 33: The Magical Express Murder Case File 1 Investigation Begins

33

Hajime, Myuki, and Detective Kenmochi travel by sleeper train to the Sequestrum Plain Motel in Hokkaido after receiving a threat from the "Puppet Master from Hell." The group is entertained by the Fantasy Magic Team until a warning calls for a bomb explosion in 20 minutes. After evacuating, they discover Fumio Yamagami, the team leader and Yumi's husband, is missing. Akechi arrives as a fan, and while a bomb detonates, it only releases rose petals. A subsequent message leads them to Yamagami's cabin, where small explosions occur before they find his body has vanished. Upon checking into the motel, Yamagami is found dead, suspended like a marionette in the room of a masked guest named Mario Totsune.
