The Dinner Table Detective episode 3 recap
The Dinner Table Detective episode 3 began with Reiko noticing some of the blinds in Satomi’s room had been ripped down and asking her to repeat what she was saying before passing out. Unfortunately, she refused.
Kazamatsuri then realized that Satomi’s room was directly above where the murder weapon was found, suggesting they may have been aiming for her. They decided to reinspect the suspects before hearing the others discuss checking their mother’s will.
They interrogated Maeda again, but didn’t find him suspicious. They then spoke with one of Goro’s friends, who gave him a seemingly solid alibi. That night, Reiko told Kageyama about the case, to which he said they were wrong about the events.
He asserted that Satomi fabricated an alibi for Goro after discovering Kinue’s dead body and dying message. She did so by using a string from her curtains to swing the trophy into the room below through its window.
However, it was revealed that Maeda was the true culprit all along, looking to avenge the misfortune his family suffered due to Kinue buying his father’s barber shop. However, he clarified that he didn’t intend to kill her, but became enraged when she discovered his plans.
Unfortunately, it was revealed she was planning on giving Maeda his family’s barbershop back. The episode ended with him and Kinue’s family all realizing how much she truly cared for them.
What to expect from The Dinner Table Detective episode 4 (speculative)
With Kinue’s murder fully solved, The Dinner Table Detective episode 4 will likely open up with a focus on Reiko’s life as the Hosho conglomerate’s heiress. Kageyama and her relationship should receive significant development here as well, giving them a much better rapport for future cases.
It’s also expected that Kazamatsuri will somehow learn of Reiko’s true identity and status here, thus allowing Kageyama to take a more active role in investigations.
A focus on Kazamatsuri’s life outside of his detective work is also likely, if only to provide developmental parity to the focus Reiko and Kageyama receive. While it’s unlikely anything major will be revealed here, this should at least give fans a better insight into why Kazamatsuri is how he is.
The episode should end with the trio being called to a new murder scene, with Kageyama finally being involved in the investigation from its very start.
