■ An ice cream detective who can only eat ice cream after solving a case

Uncover the identity of the ghost that appeared at the Booth Beauty Salon!

A report comes in that an unidentified ghost has appeared at the Booth Beauty Salon in the unusual shopping district.
A ghost who left a note saying “I hate the number 3” on the mirror in a beauty salon and disappeared.
The only clues are faint footprints and cherry blossom petals on the floor.
To solve the case, the Ice Cream Detective meets Mr. Nol from the Baked Bakery, Mr. Lightning from the Byeolrak Stationery Store, and Mr. Sing-Sing from the Fresh Fruit Shop to collect clues and narrow down the identity of the culprit.

With only two hours to solve the case before the shark bar melts, can the ice cream detective get closer to the truth?

■ Don’t insist on only what you like!

A meaningful realization from a hairdresser at Booth's Beauty Salon who insisted on using only the number 3.

At the heart of this case is a hairdresser who has been insisting on the number 3.
He is the one who dyed Mr. Nol's hair three colors, deliberately pulled out Mr. Lightning's precious hair while pretending it was a mistake to leave only three strands, and gave Mr. Sing-Sing's hair a bold three-part perm.
After the incident is resolved, the hairdresser reflects on her actions and realizes the importance of not being stubborn about what she likes.

“I knew that any number means something to someone.
“From now on, I won’t insist on just ‘3’.” _From the text

This message naturally teaches children the value of understanding and respecting others' perspectives.
