• Amuro Tooru returned to the group and claimed he had awakened late; the Mist Tengu told Jiang Xia that Amuro had found Kazami Yuuya beneath a tree.

Gin wondered what new weapon Uzo had mentioned, while Amuro Tooru drove Jiang Xia through the mountains of Tottori Prefecture. Jiang Xia recognized the road to Twilight Mansion, the Karasuma family’s former home, and realized their arrival offered a chance to uncover its treasure without drawing suspicion to his earlier gold-mining.

• The group reached the ominous Twilight Mansion, where Kid helped unload Senma's suitcase and was surprised when Amuro locked the car and prepared to enter with them.

Jiang Xia, Amuro Tooru, Kid, and Grandma Senma arrived at Twilight Mansion, where the gathered detectives encountered a missing chef and a frustrated Gourmet Detective. The maid said two more detectives were upstairs, while the mansion’s master had yet to explain why he had summoned them.
