Harima and Tenma are back at the crime scene. They've been waiting for each other for a long time. Harima's boss, Tenma's assistant, has been rushing her around like a crazy woman. They haven't been seeing each other since the previous incident. They don't know each other's names, but they've seen each other a lot lately. They ask each other if they're sure they'll be able to solve the case now that they have a few days off. Tenma tells Harima that the victim is a physicist who was at the inn to write his latest paper. He's a bit of a mystery man, but Harima doesn't think it's suspicious. She's also surprised that the man's body suddenly appears naked in the baths. She says that the dead man had a "lively curiosity" about the opposite sex, but he turned him down. She also says that men try to hit on her all the time, and that's why he turned her down. It looks like this whole line of questioning has led to a death. They can't figure out what's going on. They wonder if the parrot's death was an accident. It seems that he's been released from his cage. They think that the word for "pet" in the Japanese is "mu" , which means "murder" in English. It's not clear if this means that the murderer is Harima or someone else.
