Note on hand: Chocolate, cookie, biscuit, egg pudding
Sherlock: Now, let's begin the reasoning, Mr. Naruhodo. First, look here. There's a note written on her hand in small letters. It looks like Japanese. What does it say, Mr. Naruhodo?
Ryūnosuke: Chocolate, cookie, biscuit, egg pudding.
Sherlock: A sweet-toothed girl from Japan. Next, look here. It appears that she is hiding something in her sleeve. Looking at the lump it leaves, without a doubt, I can say that this is the code of law of the Great British Empire.
Ryūnosuke: You can tell that?
Sherlock: She loves laws, no matter what kind. Look! Her gaze lifted to the left! It's proof that her logical thinking is very strong.
Susato: I am quite famished.
Ryūnosuke: Um, she's thinking about sweets.
Sherlock: In conclusion, this girl's identity is... A Yamato Nadeshiko judicial assistant.
Ryūnosuke: well, that's how she was introduced to you just a few minutes ago...
