Kuitan 2 - episode 1 synopsis
The story picks up from where the season 1 special left off. Kuitan leaves Japan for half a year, traveling all over the world -- solving crimes the Kuitan way: eating. His tastebuds brought him from Korea to France to Russia, until one day in Italy, a kid hands him a small envelope. Inside it is a 50% discount coupon for Akatsuki Ramen in Japan. That is more than enough to make this gluttonous detective fly home to Yokohama -- only to find that the Akatsuki Ramen owner has been murdered and his beloved Holmes Agency has gone under for lack of clients.
Former colleagues Ryosuke-kun and Kyoko-chan were unwilling to work again for Holmes Agency because of a previous falling out with each other. Ryosuke-kun now works as an energy drink salesman, while Kyoko-chan attends a cooking school and does part-time jobs.
The owner of Holmes Agency (remember him? The Chinese guy who looks exactly like the police chief) is desperate to reopen Yokohama Holmes Agency so he sent Kuitan the discount coupon to get the detective to come home. Without Ryosuke-kun and Kyoko-chan, the owner is recruiting new members, even asking Momo-chan and Igarashi.
