Page 5. Two stacked panels, read top to bottom. Top panel: Ganta sips his pale-blue juice box and glances flatly toward Momo, about to say the obvious thing. GANTA: 'Momo. About that.' Bottom panel: Momo waves one tiny stubby hand dismissively without even looking at him, already turning back to her own far better lead. MOMO: 'Not now. I have a lead.'

Two stacked panels. Top: a chibi boy in a cat-ear hoodie sips a juice box and glances aside, deadpan. Bottom: a chibi girl in a yellow coat waves him off without looking, already turning back to her magnifying glass.
About this chapter
A pudding cup nobody bought appears on the clubroom desk — and the next afternoon another one is back. Momo is certain a rival detective is leaving calling cards and follows a trail of tiny pudding drips across the floorboards to crack the case. The trail leads to Ganta, who gets a free pudding with lunch every day and hates pudding. Unable to admit she was wrong, Momo declares the case closed, eats the evidence, and falls asleep.
