The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi and Miyuki speak with Kenmochi, inspector Adechi is lurking in the background reading what turns out to be a French newspaper. At the beginning you can see its "Le Shinbun" logo on both the front and back cover, but later in the scene it has just one cover and the back page is just normal text (incidentally, the filler text is garbage; the headline says "Je vais essayer de répondre l'incident" and even breaks the words incorrectly, but you have to freeze-frame to spot this last detail).

Other mistake: During the science lesson about DNA, the teacher shows the double helix structure. One wonders how could he draw it using 3 colors since he has just white chalk at his disposal. The figure disappears a moment later when he starts giving out the test papers. (00:06:30)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12

Plot hole: Kujiragi's textbook is missing. It's a plot point and it's something the culprit did to plant an evidence using a page from it. However, when the case is solved, this point is glossed over; only a page from the book was needed, which the culprit could have ripped away at any moment without stealing the book, and more importantly, when Kindaichi finds the book, there was no window of opportunity for the killer to put it back; Kindaichi and Kujiragi were right there in the corridor the whole time. The live version adaptation fixes this hole because the character finds his book only the day after, in class.
