History Recap / TheKindaichiCaseFilesKyotoBeautyFloristMurderCase

** On the night before the meeting is scheduled to take place, Kindaichi, Saki, and Sota are out drinking. Kindaichi wants to stop early, but Saki and the other guy coax him into continuing, so Kindaichi relents under the premise of "having the last one". Cue the three of them [[IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough having a lot more than "the last one"]] in the next panel.

* HonestyIsTheBestPolicy: When Kindaichi is at a loss for a way out of the scrutiny from the general affairs personnel about the hotel booking, especially since the hotel in question is heavily promoted as one for lovers/couples, after returning to work, Marin comes forward to provide an explanation, with her detailing everything honestly and full of confidence. Kindaichi is concerned that this approach wouldn't work, but the general affairs personnel reacts to Marin's explanation with a simple "so that's what happened" and walks away without further interrogation, much to Kindaichi's shock and relief.

** When Kindaichi and Marin decide to stay in a hotel to avoid further involvements with the murder case, Marin books a room in a hotel... that's promoted heavily for couples/lovers. Kindaichi is worried that the bill will show up in the company bill, but Marin dismisses it by claiming the hotel name won't appear on the bill, which only serves to worry him further. He's right -- the bill, with the hotel name listed, ends up in the company bill after the case ends.

'''Akechi''': *struggling to speak while still laughing* I've... told... you... wait... a second...

** As the culprit's own confession shows, Kaoruko harbored a rather elitist attitude, as illustrated with her harshly judgmental criticism of the culprit's blue-collar appearance, whereas Sakurako was much more welcoming to the culprit's modest upbringing -- and this happened when they were kids.

* SequelHook: This case arc ends with Kindaichi being handed an event promotion project... in [[HistoryRepeats Hotel Europa, Hakodate, where Kindaichi already had to solve a murder mystery case in the past]].

* ThanksForTheMammary: During Kindaichi and Marin's stay at the Kyougoku household, Kindaichi sleeps next to Marin due to their sleeping arrangement and wakes up at 3:40 A.M. to find his hand on her breast, prompting him to take his hand off her in haste. Luckily for him, Marin is asleep throughout the entire incident.

** Part of Ganryuu's issues comes with his alcoholism, which exacerbates his already bad temper. The chef and servant of the family both encounter it firsthand (he brandished a kitchen knife at the chef in his drunken stupor, though thankfully the chef wasn't attacked; [[AttemptedRape he also tried to rape the servant once after getting drunk, and it was lucky for her that the matriarch knocked on the door at that moment and jolted him back to his senses]]), as they inform the police chief during investigative interviews about the murder case.

** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] regarding Kaoruko, as she tries to kill the culprit when the latter confronts her with the truth behind Sakurako's death and threatens to tell the police if Kaoruko doesn't come clean, only for the culprit to kill her in self-defense in the ensuing struggle.

* IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough: PlayedForLaughs. Kindaichi's nighttime drinking with Saki and one other guy prior to the start of the case arc goes [[TemptingFate from "the last one" to "three more beers" even after Saki already starts to worry that Kindaichi might have stayed up too late]].

** On the night before the meeting is scheduled to take place, Kindaichi, Saki, and one other former high school classmate are out drinking. Kindaichi wants to stop early, but Saki and the other guy coax him into continuing, so Kindaichi relents under the premise of "having the last one". Cue the three of them [[IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough having a lot more than "the last one"]] in the next panel.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: The culprit and Sakurako have an "unlucky childhood friends" variant of this trope. They had actually known each other since their own childhood years. Due to the culprit's troubled home life, he lived elsewhere following [[ParentalAbandonment his stepfather's death after his mother killed her abusive husband]] [[MamaBear for getting abusive with her son]], and it was only after high school that he rejoined the Kyougoku family[[note]], and the same troubled home life is also why he kelp quiet about his earlier association with said family right up until he confesses to the crimes late in the case arc[[/note]]. After Sakurako talks to him about her decision to cut ties with her family and work as an independent flower-arrangement artist in order to support her family from behind the scenes and the culprit takes it upon himself to help her out whenever he can, they share a kiss at one point (which Sakurako initiates), but that's only as far as their romantic prospect goes, before Sakurako falls victim to the murder case before any potential romantic progress can take shape.

* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: Kindaichi and Marin's meeting with the heads of the Otowa Black PR in the Kyoto Branch division, which already starts out rough due to their heavy smoking, only gets more and more exasperating for the former two as they watch the latter two lashing out against the head of the flower-arrangement family and their subsequent medication. By the time the Kyoto Branch division heads start the project summary, both Kindaichi and Marin are already showing copious amount of droplets on their heads.
