"Student Akechi Kengo Case Files" is the fourth case arc in "The Kindaichi Case Files R" series of ''Manga/TheKindaichiCaseFiles''.

Akechi, as a Tokyo University student, was invited by his high school teacher, who requested him to meet a girl that both the teacher and Akechi knew, after the girl went to her in tears before leaving, to find out more. Akechi visited the university where the girl in question was a student and a star DJ on a campus radio program, right as a murder was about to take place.

!!Tropes include:
* ADayInTheLimelight: Akechi is the detective in this case.
* AmateurSleuth: Akechi, being a university student who was yet to officially join the police force at the time, served this role as he was the one solving the murder case.
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: During Kenmochi and Akechi's private conversation over the murder case in question, Kenmochi was smoking a cigarette... after the ashtray between them already had ''dozens'' of cigarette butts in it.
* DemotedToExtra: Kindaichi and Miyuki, both as preteen kids, had only a brief appearance near the conclusion of the case arc.
* TheDogBitesBack: The murderer in this case arc was a girl who decided to kill the SerialRapist to make him pay for what he had done to her. As Kenmochi quickly discovered, there were more than one suspect in this case simply because of the sheer amount of girls said SerialRapist had targeted.
* {{Fratbro}}: A dark example, as he overlaps with SerialRapist. The [[AssholeVictim murder victim]] in this case was a medical university student who would [[SlippingAMickey put sleeping pills into a girl's drink]], take embarrassing picture(s) of the unconscious girl, and then {{Blackmail}} her into forcing her to comply with his demand for sex later on.
* InternalReveal: The readers get to see who was plotting the murder because the culprit and the accomplice discussed their plan to kill their [[AssholeVictim target]] privately right as the story plot was progressing.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The SerialRapist managed to get away scot-free from any and all legal repercussions due to the photos of the girls he kept as leverage in order to prevent them from reporting him to the police, but he met his end when a girl opted to stab him dead InTheBack to make sure he couldn't harm anyone ever again.
* SchoolFestival: Much of the case arc happened right as a festival event was in place at the women's university where the girl Akechi was visiting was a student.
* SerialRapist: The murder victim was a medical university student who had [[SlippingAMickey put sleeping pills into a girl's drink]], taken embarrassing picture(s) of the unconscious girl, and then threatened to upload said picture(s) to the internet unless the targeted girl complied with his demand for sex. According to a girl who talked to Akechi, this was also why none of the girls he targeted ever reported his crimes to the police.
* SlippingAMickey: Part of the [[AssholeVictim victim]]'s method of getting his way with the girl he targeted involved placing sleeping pills into the girl's drink so he could take embarrassing photo(s) of the target girl and then {{Blackmail}} her for sex later.
* TemptingFate:
** After killing the SerialRapist, the culprit attempted to reassure herself by saying the murder was "a perfect crime". Akechi would prove otherwise soon, though.
** During Kenmochi's investigation into the murder case, he learned of Akechi's status at the time as a university student studying law. As Akechi became more involved in the murder case at hand, Kenmochi began wondering what his aspiration might be before it dawned on him, but he decided to shake off the feeling.
--->'''Kenmochi''': (thinking internally) Whoa, that Tokyo undergraduate is interested in this case, it seems. Don't tell me he's pursuing career in law enforcement! A lawyer? A prosecutor? No... a member of the police force? *a moment of OhCrap feeling* No, no, no... I'm thinking too far!
* WhoMurderedTheAsshole: As Kenmochi quickly found out in his investigation into the murder case, the [[AssholeVictim murder victim]] had so many girls victimized that the sheer amount of suspects was enough to overwhelm him unless he found a way to narrow the suspect list down.[[note]] Luckily for him, Akechi was able and willing to step up to the challenge.[[/note]]
-->'''Kenmochi''': The victim is really hated by college girls here. There will be too many people to keep an eye on...
