Coaxed into applying for a cram school that is advertised for guaranteeing students' success rate at entering prodigious post-second-education institutions, Kindaichi, with Miyuki in tow, enters the school in question to submit their respective report cards in the hope of being accepted in the school. While there, the math teacher, who oversees Kindaichi's and Miyuki's report cards, accepts them both, though with one condition for Kindaichi, which is to catch the perpetrator of a prank, providing a photo image as a clue. Kindaichi accepts the condition, unaware that the prank would be a mere prelude for a serial murder case.

** Part of what the culprit overheard from the GangOfBullies, who [[KickTheDog callously dismiss the life of the student]] they had [[AccidentalMurder killed in a bullying act gone wrong]] before [[NeverSuicide covering up to make it seem as though said student had committed suicide via hanging]] included this line: "This is the School of the Hanging Necks! You can never predict who's gonna die next!" Right from the gang leader, no less. Guess whom the culprit will make sure to become hanged next.[[note]] This is not counting the female student [[InterruptedSuicide Kindaichi manages to save]] early in the case arc, as she tried to hang herself due to her... own self-deluded belief, being a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.[[/note]]

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: After managing to [[InterruptedSuicide help save a girl from]] [[DrivenToSuicide suicide via]] [[HangingAround hanging herself]], Kindaichi asks his childhood friend how everyone in school, students and staff alike, could remain so calm after a student nearly died. His answer to Kindaichi? "Because... everyone is used to it." The testimonies that Kindaichi and Miyuki receive from said childhood friend and the school custodian later on in the case arc would [[JustifiedTrope justify]] the nickname "[[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace The School of Hanging Necks]]" that's given to Shinokura Cram School and the nonchalance everyone in the school ground gives toward incidences of suicide by hanging.
