The Dinner Table Detective episode 7 recap

Expand Tweet

The Dinner Table Detective episode 7 began with famous painter Keizan Matsushita being stabbed in his art studio. They then met with the witnesses Maki Nakazoto, a freelance art journalist, and Misaki Aihara, a distant relative of Keizan’s who stayed at his house.

When they asked Keizan what happened, he pointed at the sleeping beauty in his mural. Focus then shifted to his wife and son, who were seemingly happy that Keizan had died from his injuries.

Focus then shifted to Hosho and Kazamatsuri interviewing the pair, where he claimed his spat with his father over copyright was overblown, and she claimed she was the model for his mural. Upon realizing why they were asking her about this, she instead said it was Maki.

She instead said that Shoko Sasano was worth questioning since she had been missing since yesterday. She asserted Shoko was behind the circulation of fake treasures with Keizan’s help making them.

Kazamatsuri was then called on to replace Shoko on her game show, on which he was once a contestant, meaning Hosho would be in charge the next day. She then explained the case to Kageyama, but he offered no insight initially.

However, she played him to get his interest and make him want to help out. The episode ended with Kageyama asking to visit the crime scene, and Kazamatsuri also returning to grab his hat, setting up his discovery of Hosho’s true identity.

What to expect from The Dinner Table Detective episode 8 (speculative)?

With Kageyama and Kazamatsuri set to meet each other at the crime scene of Keizan’s murder, The Dinner Table Detective episode 8 should finally see him discover Hosho’s true identity. He should also come to realize Kageyama has been helping Hosho solve recent cases, and also indirectly assisting him as a result.

Likewise, Kazamatsuri should offer Kageyama some form of consulting job, or at least give him permission to be fully involved with any future cases, and this current one.

Kageyama’s insight and full access to the crime scene should then give them the break they’ve been looking for. The episode should then end with the trio solving Keizan’s case and Kageyama being officially welcomed onto their team.
