Death, confusion, and resolve
- Main article: Twisted Karma and His Last Bow and The Resolve of Naruhodō Ryūnosuke
Tobias Gregson was given a “Death Bringer” mission for 10/31, aboard the Balabrock as it head for France. The target was Seishirou Jigoku, and in a twist of fate, the assassin sent with him was Asōgi. When Jigoku returned to his room, he found Gregson there. He body slammed Gregson, knocking him unconscious, but as first class cabins are surrounded by guards, he decided to wait until the emergency drill later that evening to do the final deed. Unfortunately, just as that time arrived, Gregson woke up and started attacking Jigoku in a frenzy. In a moment of panic, Jigoku used the gun the English government had given him in his exchange program sixteen years ago and shot Gregson.
He took Gregson’s coat off and hid his body in the freezer, trying to buy some time and fake Gregson’s time of death. He then put Gregson’s body in his own suitcase and took him off the boat and to the hotel, as there was no chance to throw the body overboard due to all the guards.
He had heard about Gregson’s secret room with Everyday Mittlemont from Vortex, and went to drop the body off there. He set up some firecrackers he bought from Venus and used the candles as a makeshift timer that would go off when the body warmed up. That way, when Mittlemont came to visit, he could be framed. Unfortunately, Barok van Zieks showed up on his investigation of Tobias Gregson and he took the fall instead.

However, because Naruhodō is foreign (or an attorney), he did not go out of his way to help them with an investigation with the exception of Iris Watson's presence.
