The Dinner Table Detective episode 8 recap

The Dinner Table Detective episode 8 began with Hosho showing Kageyama the crime scene. He quickly deduced that the window in the painting was the doorway to a secret passage. As they explored it, Kazamatsuri arrived on scene to get his forgotten hat. Kageyama and Hosho discovered a door at the end of the passage, which led to a room where a deranged Shoko Sasano was. She slashed Kageyama across his chest with a sword while he protected Hosho.

She then took down Sasano, which led to the reveal that Kazamatsuri protected Hosho, not Kageyama. He was also shown to be uninjured. It was then revealed that Sasano killed Keizan in self defense, then scurried into the secret passage and knocked the ladder over after. Focus then shifted to the next case, which began with a body nearby a river. The victim happened to look similar to Kazamatsuri, which worried the detective.

The victim was a tabloid journalist named Ryota Ishigoro, who had trouble paying his loans back. They also learned he was following a lead on Shiho Kambara, an actress who was known to be in a relationship. They speculated that Ryota’s scoop was an affair and she had him killed, but Reiko was determined to prove otherwise as a fan of hers. The episode ended with them visiting her, but she was very uncooperative to start.

What to expect from The Dinner Table Detective episode 9 (speculative)

The Dinner Table Detective episode 9 should begin with the continuation of Hosho and Kazamatsuri questioning of Kambara. She’ll likely prove uncooperative as she previously had until they bring up their theory that Ryota was following up on an affair she was having. At this point, she’ll likely get defensive and usher the pair out of her house.

Kazamatsuri and Hosho should then get a lead from either one of Kambara’s friends or employees, or via running into her lover while leaving her house. In either scenario, they’ll likely be stumped after getting slightly ahead with their new lead. The episode should end with Kageyama coming in and solving the case, fully concluding it and setting up a new focus for the subsequent release.
