Plot overview
The Detective Boys VS The Silver Detectives (Anime: 777)
After helping a local woman retrieve her stolen bicycle along with the other Silver Detectives, Emoto meets the Detective Boys and everyone later gathers at a park, where she explains who she is and checks out Ayumi, who she says is similar to her. Later, they discover a body in a traditional house and she accidentally contaminates the crime scene, getting scared and bumping into Oshima and making a television fall. She is convinced by Tokunaga to testify to the police that they saw a suspicious man earlier, who she describes as a "young man". They later stumble upon more evidence supporting the theory about the suspect they seemingly saw. The Detective Boys were not convinced and thus investigate and learn the truth about the case. They confront the Silver Detectives and make everyone realize they convinced themselves that they saw that suspect and that in fact there was no such person, shocking Emoto. Later, they go to the house of the victim and realize they were played by Tokunaga to help him forge his alibi and tamper the crime scene so evidence of his presence would not be suspicious. Despite being betrayed, she does not seem to worry and offers to accompany Tokunaga to the police station so he can confess.
Later, with no leader, all three Silver Detectives decide to become the Detective Boys' apprentice, Emoto promising Ayumi she would not scream.
The Detective Boys VS The Silver Detectives 2 (Anime: 1199)
The Silver Detectives are back, seemingly over the loss of their previous leader, and this time with Akasaka leading the team. However, they are involved in another impossible crime case.
