Page 9. A single panel, low angle. Momo stands and flings her whole tiny arm out to point along the trail of pale pudding drips, which runs across the floorboards toward the stack of cardboard boxes. Her chin is lifted in triumph; the case is as good as closed in her mind. MOMO: 'It leads to the suspect.'

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.
