At first glance, it looks like a locked room does not exist here.
But...
This glass locked room was created unconsciously...
...by the person who was trapped in it.
Although there is a vast world right before your eyes...
...you cannot touch what is there.
He suddenly disappeared...
...leaving us this locked room.
So... where on earth is he right now?
Let's sort out this incident once again.
Yeah.
Let's see... In the beginning...
...there was the sniping incident that occurred in the office of the Bay Leaf president.
But fortunately, it happened before he came to work so it was no problem.
The windows were replaced with bullet proof glass, and then...
You asked Enomoto-san to review the security system.
"President, this is Enomoto-san, the one I mentioned earlier."
"Furthermore, replace the camera in the hallway with the latest model..."
"...and install additional cameras to monitor the stairway and elevator hall."
"If possible, put one in the President's office, too."
However...
...before he could get started on the system, the president was killed.
Yes. The scene was on the top floor of a building...
No outsider can enter that locked room.
- "Yes." - "This is the security guard on the first floor."
"Someone inside the room at the end of the top floor had apparently collapsed."
"A window cleaner had just found him."
- "Vice President!" - "What is it?"
"They said that the President had collapsed inside his room."
"President!... I'm coming in."
The cause of death was brain hemorrhage.
The blow wasn't so strong.
It seemed he didn't die instantly, there was evidence that he crawled on the floor.
Apparently, the weapon wasn't found.
Could the culprit have heard that the president was operated on the head...
...for cerebral aneurysm and used it to plan the crime?
"If it was anyone else..."
"...it may not have resulted in death with that level of blow..."
"But the President had a weak point in the head."
"His cerebral aneurysm surgery last year..."
"His skull became weak against..."
"...the impact due to the surgery."
"And everyone was aware of that."
When the crime occurred, everyone present at the scene were...
...the Bay Leaf employees and they knew about the surgery.
Who and where were they?
Let me describe again the details of that day.
The president had a lunch meeting with his nephew...
...Vice President Ebara and Managing Director Hisanaga in the conference room.
After drinking his after-meal-coffee...
...the president did his usual routine of taking a nap in his room.
Meanwhile, Ebara-san went out for a meeting.
Iwakiri-san and Anyoji-san...
...were waiting in the conference room in preparation for their afternoon meeting.
Hisanaga-san also took a nap in his room.
But this was not his usual habit.
At this point, on this floor, the President was sleeping in his office.
Managing Director Hisanaga-san was asleep in his room.
Iwakiri-san and Anyoji-san were waiting in the conference room.
Ito-san and Kawamura-san were in the secretary's room.
...All in all, there were 6 people. - Yes.
About an hour later...
...Enomoto-san arrived at the scene...
...to work on the security system.
The police initially arrested Hisanaga-san... because...
"The offices of the President, Vice President, and Managing Director..."
"...are connected by doors inside."
"You can use it to go in and out without being seen by anyone..."
"...Isn't that right? Hisanaga-san." - "No way. I was..."
"...really asleep. I didn't do anything. Please believe me."
After repeated inspection of the locked room...
...Enomoto-san had resolved one of the mysteries.
The sniping incident and the President's murder were not committed...
...by the same person. - Yes.
"Until now, everyone thought that..."
"...both were done by the same person."
"But I think that was incorrect."
"Then, who do you think orchestrated the sniping incident?"
"It was the president."
"It was orchestrated by the murdered president."
"What for?"
"About the security system on the 12th floor..."
"...we strengthened it 5 years ago with the president's suggestion."
- "Eh?" - "But again this year..."
"...he insisted that we need to review the system again."
"We discussed it at the board meeting but..."
"...it wasn't approved because we can't afford to pour out..."
"...a large expense on security."
"Then, the president orchestrated all that to increase the security?"
"Why did he go that far to increase the security?"
While we were talking about it... the police suddenly stepped in.
"Enomoto-san, I heard you..."
"...knew the president."
"Five years ago, you handled..."
"...the security system for his home."
"However, right after the installation was completed..."
"...someone broke into his home..."
"...and you were suspected."
"Of course, there was no evidence..."
"...so you didn't get fired or anything but..."
"...your co-workers looked at you with suspicion..."
"You must have endured horrible feelings."
- "You investigated well." - "We received a phone call..."
"...from a civilian with the information..."
"...so we verified it." - "A phone call?"
"You may have felt bitter towards the president..."
"You may even had a desire to kill him, too."
"When Enomoto-san arrived at the scene..."
"...the President's body was already discovered."
"Even if he wanted to, how could he have killed him?"
"It could be done!"
"Because you..."
"...have thoroughly investigated the security system in advance, didn't you?"
"And I heard you declare that..."
"...it doesn't take long to break the security."
"Enomoto-san! You killed him, didn't you?"
"Enomoto-san!"
I wonder what kind of person he is. Come to think about it...
...we really don't know anything about Enomoto-san.
Do you think he isn't the culprit?
Yes. Most definitely, he isn't the one.
Yes.
What? Really?
Yes. Yes. I understand.
What was that?
- Enomoto-san had been released. - Why?
Hisanaga-san...
I heard he admitted the crime.
Did you really kill the president?
Didn't you say it?
That you were asleep and didn't do anything.
Could it be...
...that the police interrogated you excessively?
If that is the case, I may be able to do something.
- I was asleep... - Yes... So...
So.. maybe it's true that I did it...
...while in my sleep.
I have done... a horrible thing to the president...
I hope he will be spared from a jail sentence.
- What do you think? - Eh?
Please tell me what you really think.
I believe it's very likely that Hisanaga-san has fallen into...
...a temporary state of confusion caused by prolonged detention...
He could have been interrogated by the police day in and day out...
...and made a false confession. It happens often.
That's how it appeared to me.
I'm getting confused with... what is the truth.
The president himself staged the shooting...
...because I think he was hiding something inside the room.
Most likely he wanted to increase the security...
...to protect what was hidden.
But his proposal wasn't approved by the Board of Directors...
...so he pretended that someone was trying to kill him.
That's correct. And incidentally, it was mentioned...
...that I put up the security system at the president's home five years ago.
But right after that...
...an unforeseen incident of stolen cash by the president's lover had occurred.
As a result, whatever the president was hiding at his home...
...he decided to move it to his office.
If you analyze it that way, everything fits.
I see. So that's why he had the security enhanced on the 12th floor five years ago.
Then what was he protecting?
I don't know yet.
However... one thing is certain.
What is it?
Hisanaga-san is innocent.
Innocent? Why do you think so?
The only ones who knew about my quarrel with the president before...
...were the people at Tokyo Total Security and Aoto-san.
"I have met that president..."
"...on the job before." - "Oh. Is that so?"
But my co-workers and Aoto-san...
...will not gain anything from informing the police about it.
- Certainly not. - The culprit...
...could have heard that conversation between me and Aoto-san.
Eh? Where?
- At the president's office. - What?
I think the culprit installed a listening device...
...a long time ago and have been gathering information ever since.
- Listening device? - Then even before the incident occurred...
...the culprit had already infiltrated the president's office?
Not only that.
The listening device was retrieved at the time of the crime but...
...he continued to monitor our movements to keep the truth from being discovered...
...and researched the connection between me and the president...
...and before things could get out of hand, he made a phone call to the police.
"We received a phone call..."
"...from a civilian with the information so we verified it."
- Who did such a thing? - Since Hisanaga-san had been detained...
...there's no way he could have made that anonymous phone call. - It means that...
...someone else was trying to implicate Enomoto to the crime.
Aside from Hisanaga-san, there is the real culprit.
Seems that the culprit didn't expect that Hisanaga-san would confess.
But if that can close this case...
...it would be more convenient for him.
Since I have inherited the company from my uncle...
...it is my responsibility to protect and care for it.
That's why if Hisanaga did murder the president...
...use the non compos mentis defense...
...to keep the damages minimal.
But if that may not be correct...
...then by all means, the real culprit must be found.
This is not about business... it's about justice.
I will cooperate as much as I can.
Enomoto-san, please continue to solve this locked room mystery.
You said the first person who discovered the body was the window cleaner, right?
Yes.
Can I meet with him?

Special thanks to: furransu, \( -o _ o- )/
Special thanks to: mikaljan, honest
This way, please.
Excuse me.
This way, please.
Thank you for coming.
You're the cleaning staff, Sato Manabu-san, right?
I'm Aoto, a lawyer.
He is Enomoto-san from Tokyo Total Security.
- Hello. - Hello.
I know this is sudden but Sato-san...
...you were ready to get started with your window cleaning work...
...when you discovered the body of the president, right?
- Yes. - You saw the body...
...from that window, is that correct? - Yes.
How was he lying on the floor?
He was lying face down right here.
His body was behind the couch, so you couldn't have...
...seen it from here, isn't it?
That's not true.
I saw it when I was going up with the gondola.
How is it?
It's true, it's visible.
So you went back to the rooftop without cleaning the window, am I right?
Yes, of course. I had no time for that.
I understand.
Oh, sorry. It's Serizawa-san.
Please excuse me for a moment.
I never thought the time will come for me to be inside.
I've looked in from the outside but only beyond the glass on the other side...
...I thought it was a distant world that had nothing to do with me.
That lawyer-sensei, too...
...if it wasn't for special circumstances like this...
...I would never had a chance to converse with her.
Basically, I'm only allowed...
...to look through a glass...
You are like me, aren't you?
I'm sorry. Thank you for waiting.
It seems we have overlooked one important suspect.
On what basis?
When I questioned him on how you cannot see the body...
...behind the sofa...
"I saw it when I was going up in the gondola."
But Sato-san discovered the body...
...before he could start working.
"So you went back to the rooftop without cleaning the windows, right?"
"Yes, of course. I had no time for that."
If that is true, he should have seen the body...
...not when the gondola was going up...
...but when it was going down to start working...
...otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah. But you know...
...I'm sure he wasn't paying much attention when he was going down...
...so even if he had seen it, he may not have realized it, right?
If that is the case...
...he should have gone up after cleaning the windows, right?
The fact is that he went down and came right back up without doing anything...
...that seemed inconsistent. - I see.
Then how was he able to kill the president?
I tried to verify it several ways but...
...the only thing I'm sure of is that the nursing care robot was...
...used somehow to commit the crime. - How?
- I got it. - Really?
If the robot couldn't directly hit the president...
...maybe he added another step?
First, he placed something like a stone block on the edge of the desk...
...with the bottom half jutting out over the edge...
While the president was in a drugged sleep...
...it laid his body close to the desk.
Then, the robot's arm was made to move the block...
...causing it to drop on the president's head.
That's an interesting idea but...
...there was no weapon of any kind found at the scene.
Oh, I got it!
What if we have something like this...
...use the robot to simply bring the president's head...
...right over there. - As I was saying...
...there was no weapon of any kind found at the scene.
Oh, come to think of it, you are right.
Enomoto, you don't need to answer her seriously.
- Let's see... - Aoto, don't think anymore.
Oh, I got it! I got it! It was a large block of dry ice!
At any rate...
...no doubt this culprit was well prepared.
So if you say that the nursing care robot was used for the crime...
...then he must have researched its capacity to incorporate it into his plan.
- What does that mean? - In other words...
...he made the robot do what it's supposed to do.
What does that mean?
That's what it means!
Yes.
Hello, sir. Ebara-san of Bay Leaf...
...just called right now. - Ebara-san?
This way please.
Sorry for this sudden visit.
What happened?
Since our last meeting, something bothered me so...
...I thoroughly examined the company's past financial records...
I found some unclear money flow.
Unclear?
It seems there was organized embezzlement going on for over 10 years...
...in the form of padded expenses such as research funding.
I estimated the total amount to be about 600 million ($7.5M).
Could it be Hisanaga-san?
Although I do think Hisanaga is involved...
...those questionable payments are more than...
...he is authorized to approve... - Then it means...
I can't think of anyone else but the late president.
How are you feeling?
Well... It's so hot today, isn't it?
(The late president embezzled about 600 million of company money. Did you know and tolerated it for 10 years?)
There might be a heat wave this year. It's scary to have a heat stroke.
(If the embezzlement is true, please stay silent and just nod.) There might be a heat wave this year. It's scary to have a heat stroke.
Are you eating well in the morning?
(Was the embezzled money concealed by the president?) Are you eating well in the morning?
Eating is important. If you don't eat, you won't have energy.
(Concealing method? 1-Cash, 2-Bank account, 3-Stocks & Bonds, 4-Precious Metals\Jewels, 5-Other) Eating is important. If you don't eat, you won't have energy.
Hisanaga-san, are you really okay with the way things are?
If you really don't have a sleeping disorder...
...and didn't kill the president?
If the president was killed...
...by someone else for the money?
I ask you. Please pull yourself together.
We must find the real culprit.
To do that, we must know the truth.
Let's repay the debt to the president.
- He knew about the embezzlement? - Yes.
It seems 600 million yen was turned to precious jewels and hidden somewhere.
- Where did he hide it? - Looks like the president...
...didn't tell him that far.
- Wait a minute. - What is it?
The reason the president wanted to replace...
...the window with bulletproof glass...
...is because he thought someone can enter the office from there?
I think there was a moment when someone saw him from outside the window...
...hiding whatever it was inside the room. - Outside the window?
The only person who can see it up close...
- I will go and investigate Sato-san. - And I will investigate...
...where he hid it. - Yes.
- Sato Manabu? - Yes.
He's a quiet guy, doesn't talk much...
Hey, Yabe. You often work with Sato, right?
- Yes. - Do you know him well?
Nope, I don't know him that much.
- Do you call or text him? - Not at all.
You heard him.
- Thank you very much. - No problem.
- Oh, is that a bowling tournament? - Yes, it's our annual event.
Where is Sato-san?
He should be there somewhere...
Huh? He's not in it.
Oh, isn't this him?
Ah. He's here too but...
Ah, here too.
What is this... is this it?
Looks like it.
I'm sorry.. Is there any other?
- Here. - Thank you.
- There's no picture with his face? None? - "Yes, no matter how you look at it..."
"...he is intentionally avoiding having his picture taken."
Something's strange...
I wonder...
...if he has some issue with people finding out his identity...
Maybe we need to investigate him deeper, don't you think?
Oh, what a surprise. How may I help you?
Regarding the Bay Leaf president's murder case...
I'm investigating the first person who discovered the body, Sato Manabu-san.
And?
Can you please tell me the legal domicile* of Sato Manabu-san? (*a person's registered, fixed or principal home)
You're kidding, right?
I know you can't just tell me.
But I think you owe me enough for that...
...so I came to ask you back for a favor. - What do I owe you?
I believe we assisted you with two locked room cases in the past..
Areh~? Have you forgotten?
After what Enomoto did for you...
...you treated him not as a person of interest but like a suspect.
It's truly a poor return for kindness.
If you like, we can file a complaint for illegal restraint...
...and make a claim for compensation.
Well, I really don't want to do that though.
Thank you very much.
These are police records for theft incidents at art museums and jewelry dealers.
All these places had strict security systems but...
...it was broken through easily....
There is something in common in all these cases...
- What is it? - On the day of these incidents, right before closing time...
...Enomoto-san was at the scene. It was caught by the security cameras.
However, there is no other evidence. No finger prints...
Someone who can get through the most advanced security systems with ease...
Can't be too many of them, right?
("Lot for Sale")
Sato-san? A hikikomori?
Yes, right after he entered high school.
Then, he couldn't graduate?
- Yes. - Then he wasn't in...
...the graduation year book? - No, he wasn't.
Is there anyone...
...who had close contact with Manabu-san?
Not sure...
- Sato-san? - Yes.
I'm trying to find some information about the son.
Excuse me, I'm looking for some information about your classmate...
...Sato Manabu-san. - I think I remember him but...
I don't know what he is doing now.
About Sato Manabu-san...
...He was your son's classmate... - I don't know.
Thank you very much.
- Oh... I know him well. - Eh? Really?
Our parents were good friends so...
...we often played when we were little.
Did you keep in touch with him?
Oh... no.
Not since he became a hikikomori...
His family has moved away, right?
Yes, 2 years ago.
- Oh, how about the pictures? - Ah.
Here, it's the picture from our high school entrance ceremony.
- This was the most recent one. - Thank you very much.
Um... oh. This is him, right?
Eh? That's not him, this one.
- Eh? I'm looking for Sato Manabu-san. - Yes. This is Manabu-kun.
What? Then, who is this person?
It's Shiina Akira-kun.
Here, it's the picture from our high school entrance ceremony.
This is him, right?
Eh? That's not him, this one.
What? Then, who is this person?
It's Shiina Akira-kun.
He wasn't Sato Manabu.
His real name is Shiina Akira. When he was in high school...
...his father was betrayed by a business partner and his company went bankrupt.
His parents committed suicide over a large debt.
"He was left all alone."
After that, he seems to be haunted by...
...illegal financing debt collectors.
Then one day, he stabbed one of the collectors...
...and then disappeared.
- Stabbed? - Yes.
That's why he was using a false name...
"Sato Manabu-san..."
The Yakuza was after Akira so...
...he had no choice and decided to become Manabu.
Back then the authorities were not too strict and...
...it wasn't hard for him to obtain a certificate of residence as Manabu.
With a certificate of residence, you can obtain a license* easily... (Note: Scooter driver's license, easiest to obtain)
...which can be used for your identification.
If his family did not have that business problem, he could have entered a top-notch university...
...and would've been on the elite path... He had that ability.
"That's what his teacher said."
Onii-san...
Do you know where Suzuki-san from Room 9 went to?
- I don't know. - Oh, I see.
"Where were you plannin' to go?"
"You're not having..."
"...any dumb ideas of escaping from us, are ya?"
"If you run, your life will end."
"No matter where you run to, I'm gonna find you..."
"...and kill you!"
"Well, let's talk about repayment plan, shall we?"
"Ah! You brat..."
If Shiina Akira is the culprit...
...this offense was for a theft.
...instead of a grudge, right?
I guess that will be the case.
Our problem is the method of murder, not a motive.
If the president's room was impossible to enter...
...then how did Shiina kill him?
That's the thing... Enomoto-san said...
...the nursing care robot was used somehow.
Lupinas V's safety program is perfect.
You can't make it attack the care recipient...
It will not obey the command to drop the care recipient either.
If its sensor detects obstacles, it'll slow down...
...so you can't make it run into the wall either.
Then, how can it be used for murder?
I gave it a lot of thought but I still don't get it.
- Yes. - Here is coffee for you.
Oh, thank you.
- Ahhhh~!! I'm sorry! - I'll get some towels.
Thank you. I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry, Serizawa-san. Are you okay?
Oh... your shoes... What should we do?
Are you okay? Se--
Serizawa-san?
I see... So that's how it was.
- Eh? - I got it.
How the nursing robot was used to kill.
When I saw that... the idea came down to me from the sky.
With this method, it can be done, right? What do you think?
Well done.
- Amazing... - Yess~! I did it.
I solved the locked room case this time.
- Sorry, Enomo-chan. - Amazing! Serizawa-san!
Amazing! You're so clever. Serizawa. You're really clever.
- Let's take a commemorative picture... - Cheese~.
When the president was killed, this room was in a locked room state.
Therefore, we've inspected again and again...
...to solve this mystery.
Finally, we were able to come to a conclusion.
That is... the culprit did not enter the president's room.
In other words, he committed the murder remotely.
Are you saying the Lupinas V was used for that?
The culprit was controlling from the gondola outside of the window.
It has the safety program.
There's no way it can commit the murder.
Indeed, Lupinas V's safety program is...
...excellent. However, there is an oversight.
- An oversight? - Iwakiri-san.
Please pick up that dummy with Lupinas V.
Please.
- This is the oversight. - Huh? What are you saying?
Pay attention, everyone. The blanket has fallen.
With Lupinas V's safety program...
You can not drop the target on the floor.
In this case, the target is the dummy only...
...it does not include the blanket.
I mean, if the blanket falls....
...it will not be of any concern.
What are you saying? Please explain it in detail.
- Aoto. - Yes.
At the time of incident, the president was lying on the couch like so.
The culprit used Lupinas V...
...and picked up the president along with the couch.
- It can't be... - Yes, it can.
In that case, the target of the safety program is...
...a couch. The body of president is just an extra item.
Therefore, once you pick up the couch along with the dummy...
...then tilt the couch...
...the president will slide off and hit his head on the floor.
Iwakiri-san. Please pick up...
...the couch along with the dummy.
"Lifting malfunction. Error number 2..."
"...Lifting malfunction. Error number 2..." - Eh? What happened?
- It's the depth. - Pardon?
It cannot pick up...
...any object longer than its arm.
How long is the arm?
I believe it's 70 cm.
Like I said, Lupinas V...
...cannot commit the murder.
...I told you that already. - Wait, wait.
Wait... Wait a moment, okay?
Well, it may not work with the couch but...
...something else that can be used, right?
That--... Ah, a table.
Yes, this table. The culprit used...
...Lupinas V to put the body on the table first... then picked up the table to drop the president!
If the president was laid on the table...
...it should have left some kind of evidence, don't you think?
Well, let's see. Just a moment.
...Maybe something... - Serizawa-san, let's stop.
What are you saying? I can't back out now!
- I know you're disappointed but... - It's not a matter of...
...being disappointed or anything!
I'm very sorry... to have troubled you.
- 70 cm? - Yes.
"We did confirm that the maximum weight allowed was 300kg but..."
"...we never thought of the depth issue..."
Serizawa-san is in a state of shock, he looks like he has lost his soul...
Huh? Hello, Enomoto-san? Can you hear me?
I'll head over there now.

Why did the president keep Lupinas V in his office?
Maybe because it is like a symbol of our company.
Could he have used it to move something heavy...
...that he couldn't move by himself?
- Something heavy? - The answer is limited...
...to something that's inside this room, has a depth of 70 cm...
...and heavy. - Eh?
As suspected.
It's a concealed hatch.
This robot that was created...
...with combining the best technologies for better nursing care.
For the president, it was a substitute for a mere forklift.
- What's inside? - It's empty.
As suspected, precious jewels totalling about 600 million yen are stolen by the culprit.
"So if you say that the nursing care robot was used for the crime..."
"...then he must have researched its capacity to incorporate it into his plan."
"In other words, he made..."
"...the robot do what it's supposed to do."
I see. So that's how it was.
The locked room... has been unlocked.
- Really? - Tell me.
How did the culprit kill the president?
I...
will tell you tomorrow.
Here it comes... It's been a while but he said it.
What I can't handle the most. Why tomorrow?
Tell me now! Right now! Right here...!
Come in!
- Did Enomoto call yet? - No, not yet.
Maybe we should call him, no?
- He will call. - I guess.
You're the one who leaked my information to the police, correct?
- What're you talking about? - I'm very impressed with you.
I never had this much trouble in solving a "locked room" before.
But... I finally found the answer.
I'm sorry but...
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Then let me explain it to you.
The story is a little complicated.
First, by accident, you witnessed something while you were cleaning the windows, correct?
'Something'? What is this 'something'?
Something the president hid in his room...
A total of 600 million yen worth of diamonds...
You wanted to steal it somehow...
...so, to gather more information, you placed a listening device in the room.
Placed? How?
Every time you come to clean, you'll open the rooftop and stair case doors.
The security guard gives you the master key, right?
Yes.
It takes a long time to clean the windows.
So while your partner is cleaning, it's very possible...
...for you to sneak out of the building and make a duplicate key.
By using that duplicate key...
...you entered the top officials' floor in the middle of the night.
At night, the security camera is set to...
...an alarm recording that's activated by a sensor.
So you used a material that blocks infrared that radiates from a human body...
...maybe aluminum, to cover your entire body...
...to pass through the sensor.
Then you placed the listening device and...
...took your time to gather many information.
Are you joking?
Unfortunately, I'm quite serious. The information you've gathered...
...for example, the president had a cup of coffee with a lump of sugar after lunch.
Only for the president's coffee...
...did they use a special coffee exclusively for him.
He takes a nap everyday after lunch...
And...
...where the diamonds are hidden.
If you hear that sound, it's not so difficult...
...to figure out where it's hidden.
When you thought it was time to steal...
...something unexpected happened.
The president orchestrated the sniping incident and because of that...
...the security system were to be upgraded.
So... before I get to start on the upgrade....
You stole the diamonds the night before the incident...
...and retrieved the listening device, correct?
- He's not calling... - That's why you should call him.
- But... I don't want to rush him... - It'll be fine.
He's not doing anything anyway. Call him. Call him.
"The number you have dialed..."
"...is not currently in use..."
- Huh? - What?
A cleaning guy like me with no education...
Do you really think I can come up with such a complicated plan?
It's my quitting time so I'm leaving.
Are you going home to get rid of the diamonds?
If you are leaving here...
I have no choice but to call the police.
You'll be arrested and your apartment will be searched.
That's enough. What proof do you have to accuse me...
To hide several hundreds of diamonds... the choices are limited.
But actually, the best thing to do is...
...to bury it somewhere but... with human nature...
...no matter how remote the place you chose... ...no matter how deep you dig...
...with the fear that someone may find it...
...you can't even sleep.
That's why you want to keep it close to you.
Right now, what you're afraid of the most... is not the police...
It's fire or theft... am I correct?
What is wrong with you?
About your old washing machine... Next to your entrance.
A washing machine that old... no one will steal it, right?
If you shove it in between the inner and outer tubs...
...no one will find it and will be difficult to take it out.
And if you put water in the tub and put some clothes in there...
...it'll be a good camouflage and a way to keep off fire. You can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
It was a great idea.
That's not fair? Did you go inside my home without permission?
I have one thing I don't understand.
Those diamonds were embezzled by the president.
Even if it's stolen, they can't be reported publicly.
I'm sure you knew that, too.
Then, why go through that much trouble to kill him?
No, I didn't...
I didn't kill him.
I stole those diamonds the night before.
I couldn't get into the president's office that day. It wasn't possible to kill him.
- Yes, it was possible. - How?
How did I kill him? Explain it to me!
The night you stole the diamonds...
...all the preparation was completed.
On the day of the incident, you went to the building...
...earlier than the scheduled cleaning time.
You got into the gondola and went to the 12th floor.
The president was in a deep sleep after lunch.
It's because there was a sleeping drug mixed into the sugar used for the coffee.
The nursing robot in the president's office was still in development...
...and can be controlled with a normal controller you can buy in the market.
You had that information from the listening device and brought the controller...
You ordered the robot to pick up the president's body...
...and bring him right next to the window.
And? What did I make the robot do?
That is it.
You ordered it to do what it meant to do.
That was enough.
You're bluffing.
You really don't know anything.
You're just trying to trick me.
I see... You seem to be very confident with your trick.
Well, it's understandable. If it wasn't for the wind...
...I may not have noticed either.
- Wind? - Yesterday's strong wind.
The windows in the president's room are all fixed bullet proof type.
They shouldn't budge no matter how strong the wind blows.
But for some reason, it was shaking...
I found the cause right away. The window was...
...tampered so it will move a little.
If there is no 'budge' then, you can't transfer the force.
What are you talking about?
- It's a dead combo. - Dead combo?
In the game of billiards, it's the riskiest..
...combination shot.
A shot in which the cue ball will not hit...
...the target ball to be pocketed directly.
Instead, it will hit the ball next to it in order to move the target ball.
However, the force in the cue ball will pass through the ball...
...and transfer to the target ball. In Japan, it's called...
...the 'instant death combination.'
The president's head was pressed against the window inside.
If someone hits...
...from the outside with a very heavy blunt object with force...
...it'll be the same as the dead combo.
Force transferred through the glass..
...was fatal to the weakened skull after the surgery.
However, he did not seem to die instantly.
After that, you returned to the rooftop...
...and started working as normal...
...with your partner who arrived later.
And then, you pretended to discover the body by chance.
But the president who was still conscious...
...had crawled towards the cabinet...
...with all his remaining energy.
He was attached to the diamonds until the end.
Did you get nervous thinking the body disappeared for a moment?
That's why you moved the gondola up...
...and found the body, right?
So where is this heavy blunt object?
On the rooftop...
...there is only one place that you can hide a large blunt object.
Inside the feed tank.
I found it. The bowling ball you used.
That was a careless oversight.
You must have run out of time before your partner showed up.
So you had no choice but to throw it into the tank.
Yes. I did it.
Why did I have to kill him?
You want me to tell you?
My target wasn't the diamonds.
My plan was to kill him... to take revenge from the start.
- Revenge? - He betrayed my father.
When the company they managed jointly had difficulty, he ran with the company money...
He drove my mother and father to death.
"Ah, oh..."
- "I'm sorry." - "Watch it."
What's wrong with killing him?
Then, while you were planning for the murder, you discovered the diamonds...
That was unexpected.
Since I'm going to kill him anyway...
...I figured I'll take those diamonds, too.
Then my world will change.
I can start a new life.
With those diamonds... I can go to the other side.
Wear expensive suits, shiny shoes...
With that money, I can even make a move to that kind of woman...
...I can never get close to.
I researched about you.
You can understand how I feel, can't you?
Were you able... to get to the other side of the glass?
You took your revenge and obtained the diamonds...
Are you set free now?
You don't look like it.
How do I look to you?
You look like.... you're surrounded by glass....
All around you... on top and bottom, too.
I... don't want to be locked in the glass box.
Although, I may never be able to go to the other side...
...I want to stay free.
Enomoto-san, are you in here?
Enomoto-san.
- Aoto. - Yes?
- Look. - Ah.
- Yes, hello? - "This is Kono from 1st Investigative Division."
Sato Manabu turned himself in. Ah, yeah, it's Shiina Akira.
- Turned himself in? - He confessed that...
...he killed the president for revenge. Just as he testified...
...diamonds were discovered in the washing machine at his home.
- I see. - However...
...there is one issue. - Eh?
Then what happened to Hisanaga-san?
Yes, we can't grant the reinstatement but...
...we will treat it as voluntarily retirement...
...and give him a lump sum severance pay accordingly.
Regarding the embezzlement, he is just a president's accomplice.
I see.
Going forward, I'll work together with the employees and...
...create a new Bay Leaf.
- I would like to assist you with what ever I can. - Thank you very much.
Please give my regards to Enomoto-san, too.
Yes... I will.
It's been 3 days...
I wonder where Enomoto-san is...
("Public Phone")
Yes, hello?
"I'm sorry..."
...for the late contact.
It's been 3 days...
I wonder where Enomoto-san is...
("Public Phone")
Yes, hello?
"I'm sorry..."
...for the late contact.
What's going on!? We were worried about you!
- Enomoto? Is it Enomoto? - "Due to unforeseen circumstances..."
- Enomoto! Where are you? Right now! - At the airport.
"Airport? Eh? Are you going somewhere?"
Yes. Since I had some extra income.
- Extra income? - Let me...
Oi. Enomoto. I have something I want to ask you.
- What is it? - From the total of 600 million yen worth of diamonds confiscated from...
...Shiina Akira's room, about 100 million yen worth ($1.25M) were white zircons...
...In other words, they were fakes. - I see.
By any chance, did you...?
What are you talking about?
The president must have been cheated by the dealer.
Um... Where are you going?
"Not sure."
- When will you be back? - Not sure.
It's time for my flight. I must go.
Ah, w- wait. Please wait a moment!
If you'll excuse me.
What did he say?
- "Not sure." - Huh?
("This drama is fictional") The End. Thanks for watching~!!
