After the murder case was solved, Kosuke Kindaichi would often talk about this moment:

“To tell the truth, at first I didn’t have much interest in this case. When I read the newspaper articles, it appeared it all hung on capturing this suspicious three-fingered man. I came to help solve this crime out of duty to my benefactor, but I was hoping to be done with such a mundane case as soon as possible. When I first passed through those gates to the Ichiyanagi residence, to be honest that was what I was thinking. The moment the case really became interesting to me was when I first laid eyes on Saburo’s bookshelves full of Western and Japanese mystery novels. The Honjin Murder Case was essentially what is known as a ‘locked room murder’. Among the books on Saburo’s shelves were detective stories that also revolved around locked room murders. Should I chalk that up to mere coincidence? Not at all. Up until now it seemed that this might have been a crime of opportunity, but wasn’t this in fact a case where the murderer had put a lot of careful thought into his or her plan? And was the blueprint of that plan in one of these very novels? Just to consider that possibility made me happier than I can tell you. The killer had submitted the problem of a locked room murder and dared us to solve it. It was going to be a battle of wits. Perfect. Challenge accepted! If it was brains and logic and wit that were required, I was ready to do battle.”
