◇The following contains spoilers

When Souma Iwai (Suzuka) and Kanoko Urabe (Matsumoto) return to the detective agency after cleaning the Inari shrine, they are approached by a woman. The woman, who had nowhere to go and no money, tells them that she met the landlord of the Iwai Detective Agency and was told that she could live there.

When Sawa was reluctant because he didn't have a room to stay, the woman handed him a letter from the landlord. The letter said, "If you let her stay, I will waive the accumulated rent." After the deal was settled, the woman introduced herself as Aoki Reiko.

Kanoko realizes that everything she says about herself, from her name "Aoki Reiko" to everything else, is a lie. As she talks, she deduces that she must have run away from home after a broken heart...

Kato attracted attention for her role as Chiyo in the NHK Taiga drama "The 13 Lords of the Shogun" (2022). She also plays the heroine Aoi in the TV drama "Wingman" (TV Tokyo and others), a live-action adaptation of Masakazu Katsura's popular manga. On social media, she drew attention with comments such as "I thought I'd seen her somewhere before, and it turns out Aoi from Wingman was the guest in the final episode," "I thought she was so beautiful, and it turns out she's from Wingman," "Konatsu Kato was so cute!", "Konatsu Kato, who plays Ranko, was beautiful - her classic fashion and bob haircut with a mod style was wonderful," and "Konatsu Kato is sure to become a star."
