Episode 22: The Cruise Ship Murder Case (Part 1)
The Hatamoto group is a really nice family and they all go on a cruise together. The grandfather, and head of the family, is an irritable man who doesn’t like anybody or anything, or western food. His youngest granddaughter is recently married and Ran befriends her. Her husband seems nice, but he is actually Zaiki. He loses his flower, becomes the main murder suspect, and they lock him in the cargo hold. The granddaughter’s aunt has large eyes, eavesdrops at doors, and is obsessed with making sure that her husband inherits Grandfather’s estate. Her husband doesn’t speak, and neither does their son, who needs a haircut and draws pictures all the time. Her brother is a cook from France. Then there is the granddaughter’s flamboyant sister and her husband. The sister is too weird to even describe, and her husband has spiky orange hair. (He’s a rock star, apparently, but has no musical talent and gets murdered at the end of the episode). The Grandfather is murdered by a ninja. Oh, and there is a butler too. He has eyebrows the same size as his mustache, and it looks like he doesn’t have eyes, but he does, as you find out when he discovers the body.
Best Quotes:
Butler: (About Grandfather) “He hated western food, and even the sight of bread would make him want to throw up.”
