Transcript
Momo crouches low beside the desk and peers beneath it through her magnifying glass. The chipped pencil mug and green casebook sit above her. Ganta stands nearby with his juice box, Biscuit sleeps in her box, and the window is now crowded with drops. MOMO: “No messenger under the desk.”

Momo crouches to inspect beneath the low wooden desk as Ganta watches, Biscuit sleeps, and raindrops multiply across the window.
About this chapter
A faint tap at the Tiny Case Agency window convinces Momo that a secret visitor is sending a coded warning. As the taps multiply, she investigates the desk, the mini-fridge, Biscuit, and finally the glass itself—while Ganta calmly identifies rain on page five. When a brief shower reveals the harmless culprit, Momo claims her counter-signal drove the visitor away, closes the case, and falls asleep.
