My Theories, that are probably wrong

Akai is the one on the phone with Masumi

Akai has had the opportunity to witness how close Masumi has gotten to the BO threat, and would probably find some way to communicate with her. Depending on whether or not there actually is a middle brother there are two options. If there is no real middle brother, he could have told Masumi to lie about having a second brother so that Masumi didn't accidentally reveal that Akai was alive too soon since this was pre-Scarlet arc. If there is a real middle brother, then he could merely be pretending that he is the middle brother so that Masumi and others would not know that he is alive too soon. Currently and for the last 300 chapters, he has had access to a choker voice changer and potentially could make himself sound like someone else as he has been doing for his Okiya Subaru disguise. If this is the case, Shuukichi could really be related to the Akai family, but Akai could be imitating him on the phone.

Kuroda and Sakurako

Both seem to really like Black Tea (red tea in Japanese). With all the references to Urusei Yatsura recently, I want to think that these two may be references to the characters of Sakuranbou (prefers to be called Cherry) and Sakura, who are an Uncle / Niece pair. I want to note that both Kuroda and Sakurako have appeared in the same case, although its unknown whether they saw each other. See Blogger Case.

Mary is Rum

Urusei Yatsura references. The series focuses on a character called Ataru Moroboshi who has extremely bad luck. A race of aliens that look like Japanese Oni appear and select him at random to play the game of "oni" (its basically tag, touch the other player to win) for ownership of the planet. The alien chosen is Princess Lum-chan, so Ataru has to tag her somehow in order to save Earth from invasion.

Ataru Moroboshi suffers from an incredible amount of bad luck, having been born on Friday the Thirteenth
Shuuichi uses the fake name Dai Moroboshi and "died" on Friday the Thirteenth

Lum-chan has a doubled tooth that emerges when she smiles
Masumi Sera-chan has a doubled tooth that emerges when she smiles

Lum-chan is based on an Oni
