This is the third volume of the Tanmoshi light novel series.
Synopsis[]
"If only Siesta had been here, I would have been fine." This is a story that goes beyond the will of a detective.
I, Kimizuka Kimihiko, was once an assistant to a great detective, but one day I was kidnapped along with Natsunagi, Saikawa, and Shar.
Then I learned the truth behind Siesta's death.
A mysterious girl who looked just like Siesta when she was alive appeared before us, stunned, and told us that the past footage contained a certain mistake...
"It seems that I was bad at reading people's emotions after all."
It was a mistake made by the flawless Siesta.
A faint feeling that she was unable to find because she was a great detective.
As we search for that mistake, we come to understand the true meaning of succeeding the "great detective."
The detective is already dead.
The truth behind her death has also been revealed.
But it's still too early for an epilogue.
