** Soon after Fumi wakes Hajime up [[ThrowTheBookAtThem with a book]] near the end of "Poltergeist Mansion Murder Case", their discussion quickly turns to [[MostWritersAreWriters Fumi working as a mystery novelist]]. Hajime expresses hope that she isn't using her clients' cases as source materials, and Fumi agrees with him... before stating that her source materials are all the cases ''Hajime himself'' solved back when he was an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, though she also says that she makes sure to modify details in her works to prevent others from finding out his involvements easily.
