Kenjin Hanaoka is a popular painter who seems to have everything that a man could want: his own design firm, best selling books, and untold wealth. But when he decides to eat the forbidden fruit and have an affair with one of his pretty, young illustrators his life starts to come apart at the seams. But rather than face the consequences of his mistakes, Hanaoka tries to cover them up in a brutal and bloody manner.

-<spoiler> The culprit is '''Kenjin Hanaoka'''. Most of the works he created were actually created by his apprentice Izumi Chono who coerced him to have a romantic relationship with her and then blackmailed him to continue supporting her lest she reveal their secret. All the paintings contain a trademark of the victim: a pink lipstick kiss mark. She also occasionally steals a kiss on her colleagues and boss/lover as a prank which would confirm Hanaoka's guilt.

-The trick Hanaoka used after bludgeoning her with an ashtray was leaning her body over the balcony of his apartment room. The corpse is tied to a rope that is connected to a pulley system using a shoyu soy sauce container as a weight and the room's doorknob. Hanaoka calls a botanist employee to come over to activate the mechanism and in the midst of the chaos has a one sided conversation, pretending to stop Chono from supposedly committing suicide.

At the start of the episode, Chono had painted said kiss mark with her favorite nail polish right before Hanaoka woke up.
