Mouri Kogoro finished using the toilet in comfort and pressed the flush.
The next instant, amid the rushing sound of water, he stared at the toilet and froze on the spot.
As the whirlpool formed, the water, which had still been fairly clear, gradually turned dark red—it had somehow become bloody water!
"Eek!!"
Mouri Kogoro was startled and abruptly backed away, knocking the bathroom door open.
Calvados, out in the corridor, was alerted by the commotion and looked over. The moment Mouri Kogoro turned his head, their eyes met, and he hurriedly raised his hand and kept pointing toward the bathroom. "Blood... The toilet's full of bloody water!"
