Ron, Toto, and Dr. Mofu are still at the beach, faced with a new murder mystery involving a surfer who appears to have died from accidental drowning. However, episode 17 of Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions ended with our genius detective, Ron Kamonohashi, suspecting that the man was killed.
Titled “The Case of the Midsummer Beach Hut Drowning Part 2,” episode 18 opens with the obnoxious beachside food shack owner bullying his worker, who is one of the primary suspects in the case. The victim is believed to have had a conflict with him after experiencing a stomachache from the food served at the shack.
This beachside murder is one of the more mundane and predictable episodes of Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions, especially since there seems to be only one obvious suspect. Nonetheless, the method of killing is the real puzzle, as everyone who could be the potential murderer has a strong alibi. Still, we were hoping for a little more drama, intrigue, and comedy.
The beach murder case wraps up quickly, and the final minutes focus on Ron’s peculiar condition—his tendency to order murderers to kill themselves. We also learn more about the effects of Dr. Mofu’s medications on Ron. The episode ends with a warm exchange between Ron and Toto about their commitment to battling the nefarious M group together.
Don’t miss the post-credits scene; it includes a significant preview of the next murder case our detective duo will tackle.
