Case 5 - Round the Mulberry Bush

The evening is drawing in, though there's still about an hour and a half left to go until the stores close. Sayuri, like the proactive protagonist she is, is walking about and passes by the arcade with her book of the moment, and glances up at the flashing lights within. 

There's something sticking out from around the corner of one of the machines. A foot? A bare foot, no less. With sudden dread, the bookseller approaches to check on the owner, but quickly finds herself much too late.

The alarm goes off. Wait, what?

"Following a brief period of investigation, we will commence our trial!"

She looks around for anyone else. She is alone, and staring down at the lifeless body of...

Inoue Daisuke, propped up against one of the rhythm game machines. Seems like whoever did this has a twisted sense of humour... but who?
