There, there were Kogoro, Ran, Sonoko, Kazuha, Monk Ryuen, three Sanno shrine donors namely Shozo Sakura, an antique shop owner, Shuntaro Mizuo, a Noh artist, and Taiga Saijo, a bookstore owner.
All were entertained by a teahouse owner named Tae Yamakura, and a geisha named Suzu. While enjoying tea and full moon, Shozo is suddenly found dead. Eventually everyone is gathered for questioning by Inspector Shiratori and Inspector Ayanokouji. Then they all went home.

Heiji is asked to go to Kurama Shrine to save Kazuha and deliver something important, which is the crystal ball of the Buddha Statue that they stole from Sanno Shrine.
