Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E7

Other mistake: The most the characters do after diving to rescue the suicidal girl is Kenmochi taking off his shirt. Kindaichi keeps his clothes and shoes, and Mizusaki even has his tie fastened as if nothing happened. They all have plenty opportunities to change clothes as they have their full luggage, but they don't, and they are just fine drying out from one scene to the next.

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5

Other mistake: When the two horrible guys harass her, Miyuki and Kenmochi are both drinking wine. Miyuki is underage, and while certainly not technically and materially impossible for someone underage to drink wine even with a police officer present, in pretty much every episode when there's a party it is made clear both in dialogues and visually that underage characters are not having alcohol. They drew the wrong type of glass. (00:08:45)

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Kenmochi dumps two heavy bags on top of Kindaichi, then picks up two suitcases himself; a pink one in his right hand, a dark blue one in his left. When the second mate asks him the ticket, the two suitcases have swapped, and Kindaichi a moment later carries the heavy bags but also suitcases with the same colors as Kenmochi's, which he gave to the second mate...who is carrying a single suitcase, and grey. Later on, we see only those 2 bags and 2 colored suitcases, anything else vanished. (00:04:10)

Murderous Intent of Below Freezing 15 Degrees - S2-E9

Plot hole: Kindaichi's explanation of the trick does not make sense; he says the culprit put the towels outside to freeze in the bin, but if they were frozen solid they would have been impossible to reshape easily and quickly, and if they were already in the shape they wanted, that would have been just too big for the bin to contain.

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The first minutes of the episode are a dream sequence and normal logic may not apply. However, when Miyuki disappears, her drink is still there in the first shot, gone from the table in the wide shot, it is there again in close-up. That seems like an ordinary mistake, it's not as if Kindaichi is noticing Miyuki's disappearance AND a ghost lemonade mysteriously blinking in and out of existence. (00:03:00)
