Page 11. A silent close panel as the theory collapses. Momo holds up a single small mandarin orange — warm orange skin, a tiny stem and one green leaf — in both tiny sleeve-swallowed hands and stares at it in dismay, her huge amber eyes gone flat and deflated. Soft curls of scent rise from the fruit, her magnifying glass tucked under one arm. No dialogue.

A silent close view of a chibi girl in a yellow coat holding up a single small mandarin orange in both hands and staring at it, deflated, as curls of scent rise from the fruit. No text.
About this chapter
A sweet citrus smell drifts through the Tiny Case Agency, and Momo is certain a perfumed intruder has slipped in. She sniff-tracks the phantom guest to the mini-fridge, to Biscuit, to the boxes — but the scent follows her wherever she goes, because it is coming from a warm mandarin orange she pocketed days ago and forgot. Ganta points at her coat pocket on page five. She runs right past him, corners the cat, and only cracks the case when she reaches into her own pocket and pulls out the culprit.
