Page 3. A silent close panel, low on the floorboards, showing the lower half of Momo's oversized mustard-yellow coat from behind. From inside one big patch pocket of the coat a few soft curls of scent rise into the air — the clue sitting in plain sight while she is turned away, her attention elsewhere. No dialogue.

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.
