Literary Agent Hypothesis | |
| The Centennial Case (Video Game) / int_24da7ff8 | comment |
Literary Agent Hypothesis: In-Universe, most of the cases set before the present day are relayed to Haruka via in-game novels published as fiction, but which those knowledgeable about the Shijima family's history recognize as fact. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| The Centennial Case (Video Game) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Much of the 1972 murder revolves around a cruel version of this. After losing much of her voice, the singer Saya plans to give one last swan song before committing suicide live on stage. Her apprentice Kanako, the one responsible for the vocal damage, insists on taking the stage in her place and accidentally poisons herself in the process. Even before Kanako's harassment, Saya was already disillusioned with her career and looking to retire. Kanako's impatience ultimately seals her fate. | |

Saying Too Much | |
| The Centennial Case (Video Game) / int_4733b5a5 | comment |
Saying Too Much: Fit for any detective story. In chapter 2, the killer Yayoi boasts about their strong sense of smell to create an excuse for evidence pointing their direction. This ends up directly contradicting their alibi that they passed by the corpse without noticing, since they would have clearly smelled the stench of blood. In chapter 3, Kanako bemoans the cruel threats Saya has been receiving, revealing far too many details about those threats than Saya had told her. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| The Centennial Case (Video Game) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Detective Josui Kusuka is stoic, lacking in humor, and is even downright cruel by refusing the Last Request of Chapter 3's culprit. However, it's all for the sake sake of the truth, and one could make a compelling argument that the culprit doesn't deserve to make requests after committing murder by inaction. | |

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax | |
| The Centennial Case (Video Game) / int_4b9a8e96 | comment |
"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: In the first case, a supposedly cursed mummy holding a bloody sword chases the heroes away from the crime scene. The misdirection this adds to the case turns out to have been a total coincidence: The victim was the one in the mummy disguise, having destroyed all of the other auctioneers' offerings and then disguised as the mummy to lend credence to the curse, thus increasing the mummy's value. When the culprit goes back to the scene before she's had a chance to finish changing and rejoin the others, they get into a scuffle while she's still holding the sword and... | |
