Genius Ron Kamonohashi and his rookie detective partner, Isshiki Tototmaru, are on a brief vacation at a hot springs when the sudden death of a woman unexpectedly raises the possibility of a new murder case for the duo. Episode three of the anime series “Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions” (original title: “Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri”) ended with a cliffhanger and viewers are yet to know who the killer is.

Titled “The Case of the Benizome Hot Spring Murder – Part 2,” episode four thus delves into of whether the deceased woman was murdered, and if so, who the killer might be. Spitz Feier, a tracking instructor from BLUE, is closely monitoring Ron to determine if he has resumed detective work despite being prohibited from doing so. So, Ron puts forth his best effort to make it appear as if Totomaru is the one making deductions for the case.
There’s an intriguing twist in the second half involving Spitz Feier’s character, and for those who haven’t read the original manga, this episode provides a significant hint that Feier might become a recurring face in the story. Just like all the episodes so far, it’s the banter between Ron and Totomaru that keeps the series entertaining, although the animation is pretty colorful and engaging too. Ron’s intellect continues to amaze and impress Totomaru, and even Spitz Feier can immediately discern that the simple-minded Toto doesn’t possess the skills to solve complex cases. How long will it take for BLUE to conclusively prove that Ron has returned to detective work? We’ll have to wait and see.
The episode ends with a brief glimpse of a new character, who might just be the villain in the tale of “Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions”.
