Ep 6. E 6

Sakurako and Shoutarou are in Kyoto for a workshop on osteology when they are approached by a woman who begs them to investigate the bones of her husband, who died seven years ago. She is convinced that he was murdered and that his bones were tampered with to cover up the crime. Despite being busy with the workshop, Sakurako is intrigued and agrees to take a closer look at the bones.

As she examines the bones, Sakurako discovers a number of abnormalities that indicate foul play. She determines that the man was struck on the head with a blunt object, causing a fracture that likely led to his death. However, the fracture was not the only injury. Sakurako also finds signs of asphyxiation, which suggests that the man was suffocated with a pillow. The evidence points to two separate attacks on the victim.

Sakurako also discovers that the bones have been tampered with. She finds evidence that someone had drilled holes into the bones, likely in an attempt to confuse the authorities regarding the cause of death. However, Sakurako is able to piece together the events that led to the man's death despite the attempts to obfuscate the truth.

As the investigation unfolds, Sakurako and Shoutarou are drawn deeper into the mystery. They discover that the man had a mistress and that his wife knew about the affair. They interview the mistress, who denies any involvement in the man's death, but they are skeptical. They also speak to the man's former business partners, who have little useful information to offer.

In the end, Sakurako and Shoutarou are able to solve the case and bring the killer to justice. The person responsible for the murder is a surprising twist, and viewers are kept on the edge of their seats until the very end.

Throughout the episode, the relationship between Sakurako and Shoutarou is explored in greater depth.
