An approaching typhoon has triggered an autumn rain front, and it has been raining intermittently in Tokyo since last night.

A woman watches television the next morning.

According to the news, a typhoon was expected to hit Tokyo tomorrow.

Today the Kimura Veterinary Clinic is closed, and as she looks out her house’s living room window at the rain, the weather is gloomy, but the rain has stopped, so Suzu opens the front door to check how the animals are doing, and there’s a cat lying at the front door: She needs to be treated quickly.

The cat is stunning, no, adorable, which one is it? You’ve never seen anything like this cat before. When compared to a human, it is similar to an idol or a model.

Suzu Kimura is the name of the woman who gently picked up the cat and saved its life. She was the director of Tokyo’s well-known veterinary clinic, Kimura Veterinary Hospital. <<less

"Lu Li, the sinner, slew his fellow disciples and stole the secret sword. Now that the evidence is conclusive, so combined punishment for several crimes will be meted out. He is no longer the disciple of the inner sect. Send him to the eighth level of the Dark Prison. Never be released!"... more>>

Lu Li opened his eyes and put his hand on his knee without expression, trying to get up.

“Kneel!”

Lu Li stood up straight and listened to the commotion behind him. A trace of mock flashed across his handsome face, and his eyes glanced all his fellow disciples standing in the square.

Anyone who was glanced by him would subconsciously avoid his eyes. In an instant, the entire sect square fell into an eerie silence.

"Execute him! Immediately!" <<less

Based on third live action Death Note movie. With only 23 days left to live, L must save the world from a horrible epidemic.

"The incident occurred on June 6th, between 8:00 and 9:00 in the afternoon.... more>>

The victim was strangled in her room. The room's sole door was locked from the inside. The door was on the mansion's second floor, in a position easily visible from the large banquet hall below. On the night in question, many people happened to be present in that hall. Despite this fact, not a single one of them witnessed anyone other than the victim enter or exit that door.

On the opposite side of the room was a large window, but it had also been locked from the inside. Horokusa Junpei, the detective, had been keeping watch over that window for the entire time the incident is thought to have taken place, and furthermore, his part-time assistant Takanashi Nerina had also been positioned such that he could see the window easily. They could both confidently assert that they'd seen nobody enter or exit through the window. Even so, behind the window in question, a figure other than the victim was witnessed by Takanashi Nerina. Therefore, there is practically no doubt that an unknown person was in the room, and that naturally, such a person is extremely likely to be the assailant.

However, at a glance, this incident was unmistakably unrealistic. Despite having no entrance they should have been able to use, someone had entered the room and killed the victim, plus every possible way they could have left was locked from the inside.

That alone would be enough to classify this a bizarre mu*der case.

But in a further surprising development, the method of killing was precisely the same as the deaths of three other women in the past three years. Once per year, following a certain strict rule, they had continued to commit these crimes."

Do you like light-hearted mystery games like Dangan Ronpa and Phoenix Wright? Then you'll probably love the mu*der mysteries of Hiroshi Mori! Those games were probably inspired by Mori with their senses of comedy and casts of strange, quirky characters. Rather than just writing mysteries, Hiroshi Mori sets up his books as "games" pitting the author against the reader, daring you to solve the mystery with the clues he gives you. If you imagine each individual novel as a super blown-up version of a single Dangan Ronpa chapter, it's really fun to "play" them. <<less
