Death Before Flowers is the thirty-seventh case of the World Edition and the fifth of East Asia. It is set in Seoul, South Korea.
Plot
The recording Tibetan monk Kesang received back in Thimphu led the team into Seoul's Yeouido Park, where K-pop star Park Dae-sung hosted a game show. Vivienne volunteered herself to be the player's partner due to her obsession with K-pop. However, the WPA was unable to seek any information from Park as the pop star suddenly collapsed midway through the show. Paramedics tried to resuscitate Park, but it was in vain as Park was confirmed dead afterwards. The pop star's fans and reporters flooded the crime scene while Vivienne and the player relentlessly tried to stop them from destroying the crime scene. With Aisha's aid, they were able to convince the crowd to break up so the team could conduct their investigation.
Per autopsy, the murder weapon was confirmed to be a potion made of poisonous flowers called Monkshood, which were swapped with the victim's drink before the game show began. Ava also pointed out that the poison was probably not made by the killer themselves as she found several cells inside the potion that might belong to someone else.
Midway through the investigation, Ava was finally able to identify the cells found inside to be Izumi Sakazaki's, presuming she was the one that made the potion.
Despite the fact that Izumi made the potion, she was revealed to be innocent as
