Summary
The chapter begins with Jorge thinking about how to get from Nishi Akatsuki to Morioh. He reminds himself that he was told of Tsukumojuku's death at 6:30. He was also thinking about how Tsukumojuku got to Morioh. He explains that his throat had been cut so deep, that only a single layer of skin had kept his head attached. He says that his body had been naked, wrapped in a red, diamond-shaped cloth. There had been an axe over his shoulder, and his body had been found mounted on a bear. Jorge thinks that the killer might not have taken this as a joke but it was a reference to the folk tale, Kintaro. He later on gets off the train station of Morioh and thinks of it the entire trip as a Deja vu. On his way, he stops by to eat a "Miso Tongue Meal". After eating, he heads towards the Arrow Cross House, where Tsukumojuku's body had been found. It was a house that stood on top of a hill; the person who owned the house was Rohan Kishibe, a famous manga artist who was known for his manga series, Pink Dark Boy; which had been running for twenty years. After apologizing to Rohan about not being familiar with his work, Rohan offers to show him his art. He then says that he will show him around the Arrow Cross House to Jorge and explains that he had purchased it only 6 months ago. He gets excited about he had gotten such a house with a murder happening in it. After talking about how happy he is living in the house, Jorge suddenly compliments the view and calls him "Kishibe-san". Rohan suddenly lectures him about how people only call him by "Rohan". Without knowing him knowing, Rohan uses Heaven's Door on Jorge so he can only address him as only Rohan. Bewildered, Jorge becomes cautious around Rohan. Rohan begins to talk about the mystery of the Arrow Cross House, hence the name; it is shaped like a cross, with each points shaped like an arrow. Each arrow point had at least two doors. The rest of the eight are used to get inside. Rohan explains how the house is very strange because it had appeared five years ago without anyone noticing. It had no permits filed, and was built without any neighbors noticing. He states that his previous home had been burned down, and that he enjoys living here. The neighbors of his call it the Cube House, because it was supposedly moved from Nishi Akatsuki to Morioh, but nobody knew who owned it back then.

Rohan suddenly mentions that more than one detective had been murdered in Morioh, which surprises Jorge. He then asks if the boy who had been killed in his house had also been a detective, Jorge replies by saying yes, and explains how he had solved fifteen locked-room murder cases. Rohan then tells Jorge all of the names of the detectives who were victims of the ' Serial Detective Murders whom all had bizarre names: Hakkyoku Sachiari, and a girl, Nekoneko Nyan Nyan Nyan'. He explains how they died in the most strange way; Hakkyoku, died of alcohol poisoning and was found seated on a giant stuffed sea turtle. And Nekoneko, murdered near the strange Angelo Rock surrounded by stuffed dogs and cats, and who had a massive amount of dumplings shoved down her throat. Jorge realizes that both of these murders were references from the folklore and tales of Urashima Taro and Momotaro, just like Tsukumojuku. Jorge then suspects that the killer will be after him too because he is a detective.

Rohan brings Jorge to the scene, on the way, he shows him his work room which was dark and gloomy and had no windows. Later, Rohan explains that the police had taken away Tsukumojuku's body and the axe with them. But they had left the bear that he was on because it had been too big. Rohan then shows Jorge copies of the scene's photos and data that he had asked them to leave. Jorge asks if Rohan also had photos of the other detectives' murders. Rohan agrees to show him, then asks why the killer would pose them in such a strange way. Jorge explains that the killer had used polar bears as an inspiration for the whole murder because there are no bears in Morioh.
