Page 12. A close panel on Momo refusing to admit she was wrong. She lifts her chin with wounded dignity, hugging her oversized magnifying glass to her chest with one arm while holding up the single small mandarin orange in the other, pretending this was the plan all along. Soft curls of scent still rise from the fruit. MOMO: 'Case closed. The culprit surrendered.'

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.
