Summary
A boy name Joji talks about himself, his name, and where he currently lives. He explains that he is 15 and English but looks Japanese because his birth Japanese parents had given him up to the authorities as a baby and was later on adopted by the Joestar family. He explains that when he turns eighteen, he must pick an English or Japanese citizenship. The name in his passport says "Joji Joestar" but he prefers to be called "Jorge". He begins to recall all of the cases he had solved in two years. He then talks about something that had been bothering him about the murders. He grabs a map and looks at the locations on where the murders took place. He realizes that the map and the locations are a puzzle and that they form a grid on the lines. He numbers the squares and ends up solving the puzzle; suspecting that someone might have made the puzzle and decides to investigate. Jorge travels to a place named Takefu and tries to look for a locked room. On his way, he sees a house on fire and realizes that it belongs to the Kato family. A family in shock stood outside under the names of Satoshi, Serika, and their son, Seshiru. Jorge asks if they are okay and the young Seshiru explains to Jorge that their home has a pool in it with a boy swimming inside. Jorge wonders if the boy inside was dead, and if this were another locked room murder. Serika tells Jorge that it happened while they were eating. To Jorge's surprise, Serika informs him that it was sea water. He warns the family to get back and backs away after the window had broken. The water had poured out of the window, and Jorge proceeds to pull out the trapped boy. Jorge described him to look Japanese but then he spoke Spanish, and learns that the boys name is Tsukumojuku. He explains that he was on a boat in the coast of Florida. Jorge is confused because there is no Florida. Jorge asks the Kato family if they and Tsukumojuku were related. They never responded despite them having the same last time, but continued to stare in horror of their house. Jorge tells Tsukumojuku that there is only one continent named Pandalia. Tsukumojuku then explains that he had crossed the Atlantic and then the Canary Islands on the way to America, and was brought here because of a tornado .Jorge then gets confused and asks him what he is talking about because he only has one continent. Tsukumojuku then introduces himself to be a detective, to Jorge's surprise because he is also a detective. Jorge also introduces himself, when suddenly Tsukumojuku goes silent.

Tsukumojuku asks himself what Beyond is trying to do. Jorge had no idea what he was talking about, but decides to ignore him. Later on, they check Tsukumojuku into the hospital. Jorge learns that Tsukumojuku had traveled over a hundred years into the future, because he came from 1904 and landed himself in 2012. They then show each other sketches of what their worlds looked like. Jorge described Tsukumojuku's world to be 'broken'. Tsukumojuku looked at Jorge's sketch and says that there is no possible way for the world to shift its land this much in just a mere hundred years. Jorge explains that it would've taken Tsukumojuku's world at least millions of years to be like his. While Tsukumojuku compares the two maps, he realizes that England wasn't on Jorge's map. Jorge explains that England was a phantom country, which wasn't on any maps. He explains the history of England to Tsukumojuku and how it got its independence. He then says that if the English hadn't scattered across the world later on, families like the Joestars would have died out. After hearing this, Tsukumojuku changes the topic by saying that he has already made a theory on how he came here but with no proof. He explains that he had crossed towards the Southern tip of Florida, and connected Florida with the island of Puerto Rico, creating the Bermuda Triangle. He then says that the coordinates of Florida match the coordinates of Japan in Jorge's world. Jorge excitedly compares the papers and says that they might find a way to get Tsukumojuku back home

Jorge suddenly asks why Tsukumojuku had appeared that night, and then he explains that he had solved the same 15-locked murder cases from two years ago. Tsukumojuku then reveals that he had discovered that the true mastermind of the locked room murders had been controlling the killers. Jorge interrupts him by saying he hadn't solved that part of the case yet, and decides to solve the rest himself. Tsukumojuku suddenly says that Jorge will steal his title as a detective now that he has met him. Jorge gets confused and curses at him. Tsukumojuku laughs and says that a Jorge Joestar hadn't talked to him like that in a while. Jorge had no idea what he was talking about and thinks that his memory had gotten all mixed up. Tsukumojuku then reveals that there is another Jorge Joestar in his world, but English. Jorge gets excited again; Tsukumojuku then explains the whole story of the bullied Jorge Joestar who had solved many cases with him. Tsukumojuku realizes that Jorge and him had solved the same cases of the serial killers Guruguru Majin and the Nail Peeler a year back. Jorge thinks that history might be repeating itself because of this synchronicity. Jorge decides to solve the locked room murder case by claiming that the true murder, Javier Cortez, had been going into innocent people's dreams, haunting them, and causing them to kill people. Tsukumojuku agrees with Jorge's conclusion and states that Javier had dressed up as a clown while haunting their dreams. They later learn that Javier had been abused by his mother, Leonora Cortés because her husband always had been away having an affair, making her feel lonely.

Jorge then calls a police officer, Masami Shirai, to interrogate the 15 killers/victims. The officer reports to Jorge and claims that all of them had the same dream, with a man named Yoshikage Kira who had left a message threatening and warning Jorge Joestar. Masami tells Jorge to keep out of the investigation, which only provokes Jorge to investigate it even more. It had turned night, and Jorge headed home and had bid farewell to Tsukumojuku. The next morning, Jorge learns Tsukumojuku had been murdered in the town of Morioh.
