Reiko. Reiko?
Reiko.
Reiko!
In connection with the incident where Yamamoto Maiko-san, a co-ed attending
a private university in Nerima in Tokyo, was murdered
and where her family is missing,
yesterday the MPD arrested the suspect, Sekimoto Junichi,
former boyfriend, address unknown and unemployed.
Due to the fact that there were numerous stab wounds on the body,
the police focused their investigation on personal relationships.
The suspect, Sekimoto, admitted the crime, which led to the arrest.
It is believed that Sekimoto knows the circumstances
surrounding the disappearance of Yamamoto-san's parents
and sister, and the police is cross-examining him.
Today's horoscope. Countdown Hyper.
No. 1 is you, Leo. Today, everything goes well for you.
Be daring and challenge that thing you gave up on.
No. 2 is you, Gemini. Expect to have a slow easy day.
Your lucky item is a pink pouch.
Slow and peaceful? No way.
I found this over there.
Is it yours?
-Yeah. -I haven't been told.
-I said it was mine. -I said I haven't been told that
you're planning to live by yourself.
I'm against it. I won't allow it.
A girl leaving home and living alone.
What girl?
Why are you laughing! It's a natural thing for
a mother to worry about her daughter!
What are you yelling about!
-See you. -Wait a minute.
You promised when you started working, didn't you?
That you'll commute from home, you'll live at home until you marry.
Are you getting married? Who is he?
-I don't have anyone. See you. -Then
-you should live at home. -Listen, I'm gonna be late.
No matter how strong you think you are,
a woman is a woman. I'm worried...
Leave me alone!
Can't I worry about you? I'm your mother, you know.
Oh, great.
Slow easy day, my ass.
-Good morning. -Oh, morning. Hey, did you see?
-News about the task force in Nerima. -Yes.
-It got resolved sooner than I thought. -If it took
a little longer, they would've needed more people,
and we would've had a chance to get a bigger case. And did you see that?
Kusaka's smug look as he was walking the suspect.
-Seriously pisses me. -Sorry for looking like this.
Kusaka, good job.
Good morning.
Yeah~ I feel good reporting to the boss today.
That was a big case. Everyone was
prepared to spend a lot of time on it, so
getting it resolved to fast was quite an accomplishment. Good job.
-Thank you. -I'm expecting a speedy report too.
-Yes. -Kusaka, do you have a minute?
Excuse me.
-Can I get you some coffee? -Please.
None for me.
Coming to work with the boss (douhan shukkin*)? (*when hostess goes to work w/customer)
You're grossly misusing that word. Coffee.
Yes. I'm sorry.
Missy on standby.
-Yes. -Kusaka just
closed a big case for us yesterday.
No matter what happens today, don't mess up
like you did last time and drag us down.
-I am fully aware. -For crying out loud,
don't ever act again on some woman's intuition and screw up the investigation.
-You got that? Missy. -Name's Himekawa.
Well, excuse me, Princess.
-Himekawa. -Yes.
Didn't I tell you not to put your stuff on my desk?
Oh, I'm sorry. They're mine.
It's so clean it's disgusting.
How about cleaning yours up a little, huh?
It really is slow.
You too, Boss?
What? Kouhei, are you a slow easy day Gemini too?
Yes.
-What? -Then today's
lucky item is a pink pouch, right?
Huh?
My daughters watch it all the time.
Ah, I get it now.
I'm heading back first.
Looks like Hayama-san can study in peace today.
Why there? Why don't you take the corner?
Corner's not necessary when Yuda's the opponent.
Isn't that kinda mean?
I see. Kikuta has a point there.
-Boss. -Anyway, good luck, Kouhei.
It's getting late. Let's get ready to leave.
-Yes. -This is when
-the phone starts ringing. -I wish.
I lost.
Here it comes.
Yes, Himekawa.
-Kikuta. -Yes.
Thanks.
Hey, it's you, Missy.
-You must've followed the scent. -Excuse me?
It's your kind of body.
Oh, a new face.
Senior Patrol Officer Hayama. Chief of Forensics, Komine-san.
-I'm Hayama. Nice to meet you. -You have my sympathy.
May I?
-Don't puke. -No need for your concern.
Excuse me.
This is horrendous.
You didn't move him, did you?
As you can see, he was very precisely on the track vertically
and the steel wheels ran right over him.
Cut right down the middle from head to crotch. Cut in two by the train.
It's like aji no hiraki? (*horse mackerel, cut open and dried)
I'm sorry, that was inconsiderate of me. Any belongings?
Wallet and keys. They were protruding from his back pocket.
-What about cell phone? -Didn't find one.
-Not even fragments. -I see.
Yoneda Yasushi. 34 years old. Address is Toyotamakita, Nerima.
-Yoneda Yasushi... -Do you know him?
As I recall, the man, driving while intoxicated, who ran his car through the railroad crossing
and crashed into a train 10 years ago was Yoneda Yasushi.
Which line was it?
It was this line.
Hello, Kunioku Sensei? Perfect timing.
What? I don't have time
to be talking about blowfish or whatever now.
No, so...hold on a minute.
Nori, see if you can get someone to
check out that train accident right away.
Hey, hey. This is absolutely unbelievable.
It's a body run over by a train. Listen, Sensei.
As soon as the autopsy's done, I'll have it sent to you.
Thank you.
We'll have the blowfish sometime soon.
A task force will probably be established but
the local precinct's already on another task force and don't have the personnel.
The guys working on this now are mobile too, so
I'll leave it to you guys to get things rolling for now.
The local precinct is checking out the train station, so
let them put together the findings from tonight, and
-I'll tell them to give it to you. -Thank you.
I'm stopping by the local precinct and heading back to headquarters.
Boss.
I asked headquarters for the file on that accident from 10 years ago.
When you get back, get it together and pass it out to everyone.
-Yes. -Hey, Missy.
If you keep on dragging your feet, they can't move the train.
Yes. I am fully aware of that. Kikuta.
Yes. Tamotsu-san.
Yuda.
Due to the local precinct's situation, for now, we'll be the only ones working on this tonight.
Has anything else beside his license been found?
A barroom receipt dated today.
Looks like he was drinking alone.
Tamotsu-san, take this please.
The local precinct's checking out the station so Kikuta and Kouhei, you guys look for eyewitnesses.
-Yes. -Nori, you come with me to
find out about the body. -It's already this late...
-What time is it? -It's 9:08.
Then, see you back at headquarters at 12:00.
Listen. We're definitely going to solve this case.
Nori, bring the car around to that side.
-860 million yen?-Yes. He was saying how's he
-supposed to have that kind of money. -He was saying that
-to the person on the phone? -Yeah. He got the call
just when he was giving me the money, and
and he was complaining loudly over there
as he walked out.
Usually, he doesn't want receipts, but
he grabbed it like this along with his change.
Has he ever brought someone with him?
I'm not sure. Hey.
This guy was always by himself, right?
Yes, but today he was in a even worse than usual.
-Is he always in a bad mood? -Yes.
-Excuse me, where's my beer? -Draft beer, right away.
Oh, go ahead. I'll catch you again
when you get some free time.
So he does have one. Cell phone.
Okay, let's get moving.
Why did you remember his name?
-Excuse me? -Keep your hands and eyes moving.
I'm talking about Yoneda Yasushi.
You weren't on the case, were you?
-I read about it in a reference book. -I see. What were the charges?
They couldn't charge him with homicide by derailing a train.
He was charged with manslaughter due to professional negligence.
-Not vehicular homicide? -No...
Oh, that law didn't exist 10 years ago.
Is this supposed to be a trash can?
Nori.
Your memory served you right.
"Association for the Victims and Families of the Metropolitan Chuo Railways Train Accident."
Chairman, Ogawa Mitsuo-san.
What do you think about this?
I can't believe it's already been 10 years since that accident.
He drank until morning, drove while still intoxicated,
ran his car though the railroad crossing, and collided with the train.
What? 38 people died?
While killing and injuring more than 100 people,
Yoneda himself escaped with only a few scratches.
On top of that, he only had to serve 5 years in prison.
It must be unbearable for the bereaved families.
Have we determined that the body is that of Yoneda Yasushi
who caused the train accident 10 years ago? -Yes.
Thank you.
According to the train driver's testimony,
no one was observed in the area around the tracks.
He noticed Yoneda on the track and hit the emergency brake,
but it was too late. He stated that right up to the time
the train hit him, there was no movement in Yoneda's body.
So he wasn't moving.
-Kouhei, what about drugs? -I haven't' heard back yet.
Ask them to hurry. The exact blood alcohol level too.
-Yes. -What about eyewitnesses in the area?
Zero so far today.
According to the local precinct, Yoneda was obligated to pay
860 million yen as compensation to the railway company and the victims' families.
This matches the amount
Tamotsu-san heard at the barroom.
It sounds like that amount was brought up by the person
on the phone, so it might be someone with ties to the accident.
How am I supposed to have that kind of money
860 million, 860 million. Stop saying that over and over!
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
It was 7:00 when Yoneda left the barroom talking on the phone.
It's a 15-minute walk to the scene. The train struck him at 7:55.
What was he doing the 40-minute gap.
It's also strange that Yoneda's cell phone's missing.
That's true. Chief, how's the task force coming along?
It should be up by tomorrow afternoon. Himekawa,
until then, just stick to the basics, you hear?
Make sure you don't charge ahead like last time.
-Yes. -Alright. I'm going to
talk to the Superintendent and then go home. Good night~.
Good night.
Well then.
-Shall we go for dinner. -That's right.
Amazingly, we haven't eaten yet.
I'm leaving now.
We're going. To eat.
The restaurant is our second conference room.
Ahh, that's good.
Kouhei, I want the aji no hiraki too. (*horse mackerel, cut open and dried)
-What? -Uh, nothing.
Aji no hiraki, right?
Hayama, you haven't ordered anything yet.
I'll just pick on whatever's around.
Nori, order at least one dish.
Otherwise, we'll always be having the same things.
Then tamagoyaki*. (*rolled egg omelet)
Tamagoyaki. It's a first for me.
Right? It's the first time?
Yeah, it's been a while.
Are we ready to put in the order? "Mother"
Sure.
Why did it have to be vertical?
Why? Huh?
Maybe the thought was it would be harder for the
train driver to see him vertically rather than horizontally.
Naw. You're talking about an adult man's body.
It sticks out quite a bit from the track too.
And it was at night. In any case,
the driver wouldn't have noticed until he got real close.
If a train was coming from the opposite track,
he may have been able to notice from lights of the oncoming train.
If there was a train coming from the opposite side,
it might have failed. That's right,
there's a lot of trains running around that time. You're taking quite a chance.
It's good. This tamagoyaki.
Being that I'm your first disciple, I want to be of help somehow.
Oh, the first disciple part is self-proclaimed.
Aren't you my first disciple? I think you are too.
Thank you!
I can't be out there, so if you don't
work twice as hard for me too, I'm gonna be pissed.
Himekawa team's first trueborn detective, Ohtsuka.
Work hard and make the boss happy.
Ohtsuka's
body was found.
Reiko-chan. Come on, calm down. Reiko-chan!
Calm down! Calm down!
Ohtsuka,
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.
Boss.
Oh, I'm sorry. Bad manners, huh?
But why do we always eat out?
Well, today's different, but
you know, usually when there's a task force
you end up having a joint drinking party or something at the local precinct.
-Because I don't like those things. But
aren't there things you could pick up at those places too?
Well, to each his own. That goes for teams too.
Exactly.
As long as the roots are sturdy, branches and leaves will grow
and fruits will eventually be produced.
We just have to pick those fruits.
Right, Kikuta?
Of course, if there's something you want to pick up, you can go anywhere to do so.
However, meal time is our tradition. We eat together.
Nori,
-Can I have that last piece? -Go ahead.
Thanks.
Here.
Thank you.
It's good.
Shall I get another order of tamagoyaki?
No, this is enough for today.
Well, shall we get going?
So it's been a month and a half since he came.
Oh, you mean Hayama? So what do you think of your dear junior?
He does good work.
Although he's not too sociable.
He hardly talked earlier too, huh?
Stick your nose deeper in the case before your eyes, I say.
But he did participate today, so
isn't he like that? Like he can't express himself
very well, or he just can't speak his mind.
There are people like that.
But in Nori's case, I get the feeling that's not quite it.
Something's different.
Oh well, it might take some time.
Probably.
The problem is the aji no hiraki. We can't take our time with that.
The clearing of our name and downfall of Kusaka depend on it.
Oh, I'm going that way. Thanks.
-Are you sure you're okay here? -Yeah. My bag.
Thanks. Good night.
Good night.
"Mother"
Aren't you going to bed yet?
Reiko's sleeping over anyway, right?
You're so carefree.
I won't allow it. Her living by herself.
Reiko's
a grown woman now... The day she leaves this house
is the day she gets married.
Until she's happily married like everyone else,
so happily married that she can forget about the past,
we, as parents, have to protect her.
That time, because of me...
Stop it.
Reiko-chan.
I know it's painful, but won't you cooperate with our investigation?
I'm sorry... but I'm still scared.
I understand.
Officer Sata died on the job when she was stabbed with a knife
in a struggle while apprehending the criminal.
Reiko-chan, don't run away.
I want Reiko-chan to live looking straight ahead.
"Station Attendant's Plea in Vain"
"Persisting until the very end, sustains injury himself"
"Wakamiya Station Attendant Tokuyama Kazutaka-san"
"Ogawa Mitsuo-san"
It's this person.
"Ogawa-san lost his only daughter, Miharu-san, in the accident."
"Prior to her death, Miharu-san spoke of Tokuyama-san
as a very kind station attendant."
"That image overlaps with the image of Tokuyama-san desperately trying to
save the passengers at the accident scene."
"Ogawa-san, who had been single-handedly raising Miharu-san, said
'The grief will never disappear.'
'However, thanks to Tokuyama-san, my mind feels at ease.'"
So he quit his job immediately after he was discharged from this hospital?
Yes. We did try to talk him out of it, but
the shock was probably too much for him.
He said he didn't have the confidence to continue working.
What kind of a person was Tokuyama-san?
He was a serious guy. He didn't necessarily stand out, but
-he worked diligently. -Good morning.
That's right.
I think he started that too.
Good morning.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Excuse me, but what is this Acting Chairman?
Oh, the previous chairman recently resigned.
So I'm acting in the interim, since I'm Vice Chairman.
Did Ogawa-san quit?
Yes. About half a month ago, he said he had to quit
due to personal reasons.
I see.
By the way, was Yoneda murdered?
We're still in the investigation stage.
That guy
isn't the type to commit suicide.
I can say that with confidence.
As the Association, though,
there's the matter of compensation, so I have mixed feelings.
Personally, I
don't know who did it, but thank God someone killed him,
that's how I feel.
Oh, that was drawn by Tokuyama-kun.
I remember thinking it showed his fastidious personality.
This isn't a print?
That's what you'd think, right? But it's hand drawn.
That poster behind you too.
Hello, Tamotsu-san?
What? Ogawa-san quit?
I see. I'm meeting Kikuta now
and heading to Ogawa-san's residence. I can't get in touch with him.
That Yoneda...
he didn't deserve to live to start out with.
I wanted to kill him if I could.
With these hands.
My wife and child was killed by that bastard.
Money has nothing to do with it. I want to kill him from the bottom of my heart.
Excuse me.
So continuing where we left off,
did Yoneda show up at every association meeting?
Yes, this is Himekawa.
Yes, alright. Excuse me.
Investigation meeting at 18:00. Let's hurry.
You're sure that woman's not doing more than she should?
She has expressed remorse over that incident, and
I also reminded her once again.
I can rest assured then... is what I can't say when it comes to that woman.
Well, I guess we'll just have to trust her...
Remember, it was you, Imaizumi.
You're the one who brought her here.
I was against it, wasn't I? I said we didn't need no woman.
Yes, you did. However,
there are also numerous cases Himekawa solved...
The problem is now. Now. And from now on.
You got that?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Let's go around the back.
Hello. Ogawa-san?
-Boss. -I know.
Kikuta.
Miharu-san?
-I'll go take a look upstairs. -Thanks.
Kikuta!
Something's missing.
Hello, this is Kikuta.
Was he killed here and moved intentionally to the bathroom?
If so, there's absolutely no blood stains left behind.
-It's a great clean-up job. -For sure.
-Yuck. It's Gantetsu's jurisdiction. -Right?
Let's get outta here before Gantetsu comes. He's a pain.
Hello. Uh...
The situation's been explained to the folks in your precinct.
We're busy with another case, so we'll leave it to you.
Dead for 4 days means there's no way Ogawa-san could've killed Yoneda.
On the other hand, could Yoneda have killed Ogawa-san?
No. Yoneda's room was a real mess.
In other words, if Kusaka was to kill someone, for example,
he would do it very cleanly. Like that desk of his.
Oh. So maybe...
Yes. The person who killed Ogawa-san killed Yoneda too.
If that's the case, we might end up in a joint investigation with Gantetsu.
If that happens, he'll trip us up with his dirty tricks and
we can forget about clearing our name from the last case.
Hello~. Here, take these.
Something good just happened.
Tamotsu-san? I'm sorry, but do you mind if I send Nori elsewhere? Yes.
-That's what I'll do then.. What? -Alright.
-Thank you very much. -Alright, I'll be
heading there. What did he say?
Ogawa-san's cell phone hasn't been found yet.
Also, there were imprints on both sides of his chest.
Imprints? They think it got on there
-after he died. -After he was killed?
-Why? -Boss, are we meeting Tamotsu-san?
Yeah.
Yes, Himekawa. Have Kouhei look into that animal abuse case.
-Alright. What? Extraneous matter?
Where was it found?
A trace of fiber was found in some of
the scattered flesh. When we analyzed it,
we found out it was something used in disposable diapers.
Uh..but the victim
didn't have any disposable diaper on him, did he?
Disposable diaper...absorbs liquids...
It's possible to stop blood flow with disposable diapers, right?
Yes. It depends on the size and the amount of blood flow, but
it's possible.
That's it. That's the reason for the imprints.
Oyama-kun, there should also be fiber other than his clothes on the body of
Ogawa Mitsuo-san who was found in Saginomiya in Nakano. Check it out and call me.
Thanks. You've been a big help.
Thank you for waiting. This is it.
Thanks.
That's the oldest, from one year ago.
How can anyone be so cruel.
It was rather bizarre, so
we were on the lookout.
That's from 6 months ago.
After that, the intervals became shorter and shorter.
And that's from a month ago.
And the next one's from 3 weeks ago.
How big is this dog?
A full grown dog, 50cm in length.
Of course I know him.
If it wasn't for that guy,
my injuries wouldn't have been as severe.
So Tada-san, at the time of the accident
you were on the second car from the front?
Yes, that's correct.
Is that perhaps the reason why
-you chose not to join the victims' association? -Yes.
I don't want to join an association that's headed by a chairman
who stands behind someone like him.
Did you find out about Ogawa-san and Tokuyama-san's relationship
in a newspaper article or something?
"Man on Track Struck by Train and Dies"
Excuse me. I lost my train pass somewhere.
Has it been turned in?
Good morning.
As for that morning greeting at the ticket gate,
that was just an excuse to talk to her.
But when he called her by her first name,
it still caught me by surprise.
Were they that close?
No, no. He didn't say it to her face.
-At the time of that accident. -That happened 10 years ago?
Yes.
Tokuyama and I were at the ticket gate.
Anyway, there was this incredibly loud noise, and
I knew immediately that something bad had happened.
And at that moment, granted it was in a low voice, but
I definitely heard him say... "Miharu."
"Miharu"
And he started running like crazy
towards the station platform. He headed for the scene of the accident.
Then the first person to arrive was Tokuyama-san?
Yes. He was the first station attendant there.
Naturally, I assumed he rushed over to help us.
But that bastard, he only had eyes for her.
Ogawa Miharu-san, correct?
Yes. He
kept yelling "Miharu, Miharu," then grabbed her arm
and started pulling her out of the window.
Every time he pulled, the unstable tilted train
would shake.
Everyone around him yelled at him to stop.
But the majority of the people were hurt or
in a panic. And those who were farther away
probably didn't know what was going on.
Then...
it was immediately after he pulled her
out from the window.
There was this horrible creaking sound, and
the train fell over on its side.
After that...
it was pure hell.
They're roses from our garden.
Next time I'll bring some to display in the station.
See you later.
Most of the people who clearly saw what Tokuyama did
have passed away, and
no matter what I, the survivor, said, no one would listen to me.
Yes, that train was ready to fall over any second anyway.
I know that, but
I can't help thinking, if only he hadn't done that...
On top of that, Ogawa-san
thought of him like he was an epitome of station attendant.
The more I thought about it, the madder I got. It must've been about half a month ago...
I called out Ogawa-san and
told him what Tokuyama had done.
I told him, "Your daughter was killed by Tokuyama."
-What did Ogawa-san say? -Naturally, he was shocked.
It may have been indirectly, but he was an accomplice to
-treating Tokuyama like some kind of hero. -At that time,
did Ogawa-san mention anything about
meeting up with Tokuyama-san?
Well, I imagine he would at least go confirm the story,
judging from his reaction.
That's what he ought to do.
Can I go now? I believe I've told you
-everything I know. -Yes. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your time.
Oh, I'm fine. Please don't mind me.
-Excuse me. -Thank you for your cooperation.
I couldn't tell him that Ogawa-san died.
But he'll soon find out.
Tamotsu-san, get everyone together.
This is Tokuyama's picture.
I asked the railway company to send me the data they had at their headquarters.
-Add how many years to this? -12 years.
-How about you, Kyouhei? -I found one.
A bizarre animal abuse case you were talking about.
All the incidents happened after Tokuyama quit his job at the railway company.
-These are all... -Straight down the middle...
This is probably where this case started.
What about the residence registry? He submitted a notification of moving out
from his previous residence, but that's it.
Since then, a notification of moving in hasn't been submitted anywhere.
We checked with the hospital who treated him for injuries
he sustained in the accident, but they said he never came back
for his follow-up exams which he was told to do.
After he quit his job, he simply vanished, huh?
It was 5 years ago that Yoneda was released from prison and went back to Oita where his parents live.
He was patiently waiting for him to come back Tokyo.
For Tokuyama, it would be meaningless to kill him in Oita.
During the one-plus year after Yoneda returned to Tokyo,
-he was waiting for that chance. -That's too scary.
That's the type of person Ogawa-san was facing.
I'm sorry I'm late.
How did it go?
It's the net cafe. 6 months ago,
a former co-worker ran into Tokuyama. He said that judging from
the way Tokuyama talked, he was moving from one net cafe to another in the city.
Tokuyama is sure to be near the crime scene still.
Search all the net cafes in the area.
-What? -Why do you think
he's nearby?
Intuition.
It's 4:22.
Let's hurry. Anyway, let's get outta here.
Excuse me. I'm...
Is this man here now?
I'm looking for this person.
-Would he happen to be here? -One moment please.
Boss.
-Nothing at all on that side. -This place.
We're going.
Himekawa, how many times do I have to tell you. Call me.
Hey, what's going on with Missy?
She knows it's at 6:00. I'm sure she'll be here by then.
If I don't get a proper briefing before the meeting,
I'm gonna be in trouble.
Get her back here at once. Now.
Himekawa...where are you?
It might be this person.
-Do you know if he's here now? -I'm not sure.
I just got in too.
I can tell you his booth's No. 11.
I see. Excuse us.
-Kikuta. -Looks like it.
If I was the criminal,
I probably would've returned to the scene too.
Because, look, it's such a beautiful full moon.
You killed Yoneda and Ogawa-san, didn't you?
Tokuyama Kazutaka-san.
Who are you?
I'm Himekawa, MPD First Investigation Division.
Where were you this time last night?
At a net cafe called "Relax," right?
We checked it out earlier.
Your name was definitely there.
Then what about the night 4 days ago?
I'm there every night this past week.
Right. We checked that out too.
Then you shouldn't need me anymore.
What did you think when Yoneda Yasushi-san died?
Because of him, you suffered a lot, didn't you?
You lost your job, your home, and your loved one.
Yoneda's death must have made you extremely happy.
To top it off, it was such a terrible way to die.
You know, right? If you've been reading the paper.
There were lots in the booth. Newspaper, that is.
What did you think?
I was shocked.
That he was killed so close by.
But anyway,
it serves him right. It suits him.
To die in misery like dried fish.
Why do you think he was murdered?
-What? -We don't know yet whether
it was suicide or homicide. The newspapers
didn't mention that he was murdered either.
You said so earlier.
Oh, did I say that? Sorry about that.
Hey.
You're sure there's a way
I can get out of paying 860 million yen?
Yes.
I'm sick and tired of that victims' association too.
I tried to save the passengers, but
they talk like I actually killed them.
Excuse me.
But you really shouldn't have killed Ogawa-san.
That's how we knew it was you.
Ogawa-san chastised you about the accident, didn't he?
Did he say he was reporting you to the police?
But he did that,
you won't be able to kill Yoneda.
You're wasting your time coming here to apologize.
Please hear me out one more time. Yoneda's
to blame. Yoneda's the one who killed Miharu-san.
You're no different from Yoneda. I'm calling the police.
Wait a minute.
Let go!
But
I can't believe you stabbed him in the right chest as well.
For your handiwork.
When I saw Yoneda's body, a thought came to mind.
That this was bilaterally symmetric.
That perhaps this crime was committed by an individual with a bizarre obsession.
But just because it was in the way,
removing the toilet paper holder was going too far.
What kind of nonsense...
I'm not done talking to you yet.
Immediately after you pulled her out of the train,
Ogawa Miharu-san
was crushed by the collapsing train and died.
I heard that just the right half of her body was out.
The moment the most beautiful thing to you was destroyed.
But perhaps you're the one who destroyed it.
You're wrong. I tried to save her.
It was Yoneda. If only Yoneda hadn't done that...
That's why you took revenge on Yoneda?
-No, that's not it. It' just... -During the relevant time for both incidents,
the shop's surveillance camera caught the stand-in
entering Tokuyama's booth.
-There's no way... -Really?
The surveillance camera in that shop was a dummy.
You, being a regular customer, knew that.
But apparently you didn't know that 1 week before, a real on was installed
after police advisor's visit.
Also,
earlier you said that Yoneda's body looked like dried fish, but
the newspapers only said "body cut in half by a train."
You can't tell if it was vertically or horizontally.
I'm sure I saw it. Newspaper or magazine or somewhere.
That's impossible!
The decision not to release to the press that it looked like aji no hiraki
was made by me.
We also found the toilet paper holder in your booth.
That must have been a pain, huh?
You couldn't very well
go buy the same thing and mount them on both sides of the booth.
You were the one who killed Ogawa-san and Yoneda, right?
After Miharu-san died in that condition,
you couldn't stop your obsession.
Your self-proclaimed just cause you call revenge
spurred that on, and
having started with animals,
you decided to end it with Yoneda.
I just returned them to the way they should be.
Do you think the police will buy a story like that?
But weren't they beautiful?
You saw them all, didn't you?
You know what?
The tracks shining in the sunset and the full moon, I think they're both beautiful.
But what you did is completely different.
That's desecration of life, the most beautiful thing.
You're the worst.
Don't you mess with me!
Kikuta.
Yes. Himekawa.
Himekawa, where the hell are you!
What time do you think it is!
Himekawa! Are you messing with me!
Do you know how humiliated I was at the local precinct because of you!
You'll be reprimanded, you hear? Reprimanded.
Be prepared!
What the hell is going on?
You know how important
the first meeting is once the task force is set up.
Yes. I'm sorry.
-But... -But what!
I already made the arrest.
What? You made the arrest?
Yes.
I apologize deeply for failing to contact you.
For one thing,
time had stopped since yesterday.
