The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: The setup of the story is the usual; characters forced to coop together at a secluded location, they can't contact the outside world and one of them is a killer. In this case, they are on an island and the only radio they had been on the boat that someone set on fire. However, when one of the suspects shows Kindaichi a photo from their smartphone, the screen shows that they have an active 3G connection. (00:08:00)

Revealing mistake: Eddie's bar has just burned down, and everything is ruined. However, the glasses above the bar are pristine and clean. At the very least, they'd be blackened and smeared by the smoke and soot, even if the heat of the fire hadn't destroyed them. (00:10:28)
