Final Episode 8
"Murder Threat"
"I'm going to make it rain with blood
if you think you can stop me just try."
A murder threat in a town surrounded snowing mountains!
How dramatic!
Let's go and take on this case!
No way! There's no doubt it's a prank and
I hate cold places too.
N~We're going! We're going!
We're going going going going going going going goooooinnggg~!
If you want to go so bad then just go alone!
Aa excuse me...
Ee?
You've tried calling so many times now, just quit for now.
She pretty much just up and left the office and came her herself.
We don't even have the piece of paper
the client sent because she took it with her.
We have absolutely no clues at all.
I think it's amazing that I was even
able to remember this town's name. I'm a genius.
But still I wonder why they asked for your help Ukai-san?
If I received a death threat I'd call the police.
Exactly. That's why I'm sure that it's just a prank.
I can't believe she took it-... - I heard a sound like a gun and...
I've got a bad feeling suddenly.
If this were a suspense drama this'd around the part
where we find out about the murder. - Hohoho.
Don't you think so?
Ms. Landlord is really starting to rub off on you.
Excuse me. - Yes?
What were you just talking about?
We're talking about how this morning I heard a gun go off somewhere.
A gun?
The police tried investigating it but
they couldn't find anything.
Looks like your bad feeling was right on.
Ummm...Have you seen
a girl with a face like a bird around this area lately?
If you're looking for old ladies who look like pigs there's a lot around apparently!
Me? - Or me? Hahahaha.
Or me? Hahaha. - Don't make me say silly things like that~
Compliment us! C'mon! - Thank you for your time.
I hope that something bad hasn't happened
to her or anything. - Yeahhh...
Excuse me we're looking for a girl like this...
Hmmm sorry I haven't seen her.
Have you seen a girl with a face like this?
She has big eyes like this.
Yoshida...! Oh...It's not you.
Have you seen a girl like this around?
It's a pretty small town I'm sure SOMEONE would've seen her.
Maybe the photos we have aren't accurate enough.
How about we eat for now and think over our plan?
Aren't you gunna eat?
Why are you so worried about Ms. Landlord?
Have you... fallen in love with her or something?
Of course not!
It's about my responsibility as a detective.
If I had just agreed to take the case this would've never happened.
It's not your fault though, Ukai-san.
It's not about who's fault it is!
Ms. Landlord could have
been killed by someone already...
It'll be okay. - But
she was investigating a death threat and this morning there were gun shot sounds too.
If you think of the word possible scenario... - No no~
I didn't think it'd be this easy.
Thank you so much.
No problem, if you're a good detective
stuff like this is a walk in the park.
Umm... About payment...
Don't worry about it I'm not doing any of this
because I want money. Let's just celebrate!
Ahh! - Ms. Landlord, it's you!
Acha...!
Aa!
I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Please please please forgive me.
Sorry...
I thought a good private detective wouldn't bother coming
all the way here if I didn't say it was a death threat...
Yeah you're right, a good detective wouldn't come.
The thing is most GOOD
detectives can see right through a ploy like that.
Liar. You just can't be bothered with murder cases.
So all you actually really wanted was a cheating investigation?
I'm so sorry!
When Akemi-san came she was happy to take on my request...
And she was able to get clean photos of your husband cheating.
I camped out at his lovers house and he came.
It was pretty exhilarating.
Looks like cheating cases are interesting too.
Well, with this our job is over.
As a success fee can you pay for our lunch plus 500 000 yen?
But before Akemi-san said...
Just think of everything she says as bird chirps.
Okay. - So cheap~
Bank transfers are okay too. Ms. Landlord,
when we finish this let's go home. - Huhhhh!?
I was planning to stay tonight and already got a hotel~
Yuuko-san are you going, to use these photos to get a divorce?
Yeah that's really the only option I have.
I better give you the data as well then.
Thank you.
Neenee~ Do we really need to go home?
Let's eat lots of good food THEN go home!
Right now we have a request from a celebrity to look for their dog.
I put that on hold to come over here.
I want to hurry up and get back and start that other job.
Ukai-san...To be honest...
I want to have a little fun too. - I said no!
I want to hurry up and find that client's dog
so they can get on with their lives! That's all.
You sure? I was thinking of going all out...
Let's stay the night! - Yesss!
Hahaha. It should be fine if we don't go back 'til tomorrow.
Yay! - Yayyy!
Anyway, we're getting a divorce.
I'll talk to a lawyer about damages.
Damages...
You should know that we barely have any savings at the moment?
Yeah, I do. But I'll figure something out.
There's no way I'll forgive you.
I'm going to squeeze every yen out of you.
**Wow the actress that plays the client in this episode is hot.
Yuuko...I'm begging you...
I'll never do something like this again, please forgive me.
No, we're getting a divorce.
So you want me to live a life drowning in debt then?
After all the years we've been together, that's how you treat me?
You brought this on yourself. You made your bed, lie in it.
Debt's the least of your problems.
Your career as a politician will be over now too.
A politician who gets caught in a divorce
scandal will never get re-elected.
Alright... Here are the papers. Sign them.
Oi wait... Show me all the photos.
Go ahead.
Don't think I'll hear any excuses you have.
Alright fine. I'll sign it.
It's all the snow's fault!
Wow~
Ukai-san was really, really worried about you today.
He was having a fit.
Really?
I think maybe he likes me.
When we heard someone heard gun shots this morning
he got even more worried. - Ohhh that...
It was someone hunting bears.
They're all over the place around here.
I had to pretend I was dead a few times coming here.
But you still made it in the end.
Even so Ukai-san was all
"I'm so worried, this is my fault"
at the time! Hahaha.
Wow...He must REALLY like me.
Did you just say something?
I'm...So dead.
Mr. Detective!
Ahh! Please wake up! Mr. Detective! Mr. Detective!
What's wrong?
My husband...Was killed.
Ee?
Finally, a murder.
I...I didn't do it!
Please calm down and tell us what happened.
Well yesterday... I made him sign the divorce papers.
After discovering he was cheating on me I wasn't living at our house anymore but
I went to get my things this morning and...
Ahhh! Are you okay!?
Can you hear me!? Hey, are you alive...!?
Your husband had been killed by someone.
And there was a knife with blood all over it next to him.
Yeah! - You should never touch
a knife when you're in that situation...
Did you touch it...? - Yes I did.
Of course you did.
That's what always happens in suspense dramas.
And when you did his lover...
Akane-san or whatever woke up and came into the room.
How did you know that?
And I'm guessing you also turned the knife on his lover
and screamed that you didn't do it in shock,
burying yourself even further...?
Yeah...I was horrified, I didn't know what was going on!
I didn't do it! It wasn't me!
I didn't kill him!
Well, somehow you managed to turn yourself into a prime suspect.
Amazing. - Did you really not do it?
No, I didn't!
We'd already decided to break up, there'd be no meaning in killing him.
That's true.
What should I do...?
Hmmm, well for now you should go to the police.
Ee? But if she does that
she'll definitely be wrongly convicted.
There's no helping that. We need to go home anyway.
There's a dog that we really need to start searching for.
You're so stupid!
She came all the way here to ask for your help?
I've told you I don't do murder cases...
Let's do it!
Of course his lover would report it to the police.
The police are definitely already searching for you.
Oh no... - We better not stick around too long.
Yeah, we better go somewhere
and figure out our investigation plan. Let's hit it.
Ahhhh! - Well look who it is!
What are all of you doing here?
I could ask you the same thing Detective Sunagawa?
Aahh... - Is she alright?
Yeah, she's just drunk is all.
From the middle of the day? I love the countryside!
Okay we'd better getting going then...
Hey hey hey! Did you hear about the gun shot rumor?
Ahhh yeah I think so?
The head of Ikagawa Constructions Pty Ltd Keizo Sasaki died and...
It wasn't a killing either
he's called the Don of Ikagawa but he actually
shot himself in the head with a pistol.
No matter how you look at it, it was a suicide. He was found holding a pistol too.
Yeah that probably was a suicide. Anyway see you later.
I actually think it may have been a murder.
Yeah that could be another possibility, sure.
What's up with you today Ukai? You're been really short with us.
Ee? He's always like this.
He's a really rude, awful man.
Well, we better hit the road then.
Ukai! If I get stuck I'll call you so
be ready! - I told you I don't do murders!
Wonder why they're here? - That stupid landlord girl
probably told him she wanted to go skiing or something.
It's only a matter of time 'til they find us here.
The only lucky thing is that
Detective Sunagawa is in charge of a completely separate incident.
But because he's seen her face now
things are still pretty dangerous.
Despite all of that I've figured this incident out!
Ee...So you know the crimin- - Yep!
Wow...You're really confident this time!
The criminal is...His girlfriend, Akane Osaki!
Well sure, she would have had a chance to do it but
she'd have no motive.
Well, you know how the divorce was finalized yesterday?
Because of that he would've been
thinking that Akane would be his new wife.
I'm sure Akane-san wanted that too.
So anyway, at 4am he woke Akane up.
"Oi get up!" he said, "politician's wives wake up at 4am!"
Do politicians really wake up that early?
Of course! They all look really happy
at cabinet meetings but they're actually
really tired and grumpy.
Anyway he said to her...
"You're a politician's wife from today on get up now"
...and made her get up at 4am then
first she had to help him dry down.
97 98 99 100!
Yeah that does sound like what a politician would do.
You really think so? - After that she had to wash his back in the shower.
No way? - Then she had to make breakfast.
She had never really had to cook before so
it was a pretty ridiculous demand,
there's no way she could learn to make miso soup or pickled vegetables so quickly.
Then suddenly he started complaining about the food too.
Her lover that was so nice before
suddenly started to look like Yuzan Kaibara**
**Character from Manga "Oishinbo"
Wow, what a transformation.
When she made the miso soup and took it to him...
he said "I can't drink this trash!"
The miso soup and tofu aren't right, and the wakame
has to be Naruto wakame!
And then he threw the miso soup on her.
After that he threw the table upside down!
Then Akane realized...
"I'm going to have to spend the rest of my life
as this horrible person's wife..."
"I can't do that! No way!"
She grabbed the knife she used to cook and killed him with it.
"I hate you-!"
After which she cleaned every thing up and
changed into her pajamas, pretending to be fast asleep.
She thought maybe that morning
his ex-wife might come to get her things.
And she did, falling into the trap.
When she came out she pretended to be surprised then called the police.
Sounds like what would happen in a day-time Drama.
Yeah~ But I kind of see what you mean.
If someone did that to me I'd probably kill them.
Ummm...
Ohh... You're awake now?
My husband wasn't a morning person, I always woke him up.
I see.
And he never once order me
around in that fashion.
Houhou. - Looks like you're wrong, Akemi-san.
Yuuko-san.
Do you have any idea who would've killed your husband?
No...He wasn't nice to women but...
He wasn't really the type of person to make enemies...
I think we're going to have to pretend to help the police to investigate more.
We can't see the scene with things as they are.
But... What if that plan backfires...
Well the Detective IS here already too and
we should definitely take advantage of that. - Is there anything you want me to do?
Please just stay here. We'll leave Ryuhei-kun here too.
If you need anything ask him. - Okay.
Let's go. - Okay.
Ouou! Thanks Ukai!
Let's go straihg to the scene! - Ahh~ This morning I heard
there was another incident in this area too?
Ahh the politician one? - Yeah.
His lover said she saw his wife stab him so
that's a closed case. She'll probably be arrested today?
The wife will? - Yep.
I mean, the lover SAW it happen. - Do you think that's the truth though?
What do you mean...? Look, just help me with the other one.
He's Ikagawashi's Don after all! Bang bang!
Alright! Let's head to the scene first!
Okay and after that
I'd really like to see the scene of the other incident too~
Wow Akemin you love mysteries so much~
Fine, fine! I'll show you! But this way first! Go-!
Detective you're in a really good mood today.
Really? Maybe it's because my wife can't get to me all the way out here?
Go-!
The don's estimated time of death was
at around 9am yesterday.
Most of the people in the neighborhood heard the gun shots.
There were 2 of them.
One missed and ended up here
and the other went in his head.
Ee...Why did he miss once?
It actually happens a lot with suicides, people get nervous
plus there's recoil too.
Okay, let's go to the politician's house now.
Ee? I've only explained the incident so far.
But it's clearly a suicide? - Hey...
I called the first witnesses all the way here, at least listen to their accounts.
This is Chieko Mori and Kota Aoyama,
they're both employees of Ikagawa Constructions.
What's that badge?
It's Ikagawa's symbol badge.
It's pretty ugly so not many people wear it out.
They must really like Ikagawa.
The victim Mr. Sasaki
asked these two to come over by email.**
**Emails are almost like text messages in Japan
And when you got here you found the body, right?
At around what time did he email you?
It was around 9am, he sent the same mail
to me and Mori to come over at 10am.
Which means he died between 9 and 10am.
Did he call you two out like that often?
Ms. Landlord we don't need to worry about this incident...
Yes, all the time. Especially lately because
of the new developments he'd been planning around this area...
Every time he had an idea no matter what the time was he'd...
Don't say it like that... - Sorry.
Developments...
Ah that reminds me, Ikagawa Constructions
came to my place trying to get me to sell my land.
They were really pushy so I chased them away.
Hmmm maybe he called you two out so that
you would definitely find his body.
How are you sure it was a suicide?
Well, usually there's nobody living in this house.
He was using this place for small meetings right?
Yes. - And there's no mistake that
the don was the only one to enter this house since two days ago.
How do you know that?
Because from the day before yesterday it's been snowing.
It only ended yesterday at around 8am
The don's footprints were still left on the stairs.
And the only other footprints were from these two who discovered his body.
There were no other footprints from a murderer. That's why I think this was a suicide.
Did you look AROUND the house too?
I checked! Unless the killer could fly
there's no way this could have been a murder.
Yeah, must have been a suicide. Let's go.
But... - What?
The don had made plans to play golf tomorrow
with one of his business contacts in town. - That's not strange.
Even people who are going to commit suicide still make plans!
Do you really think so?
Ms. Landlord our goal is to...
Detective, there's on way a murder could have been committed here.
How? - At 9am the victim
entered the house.
The killer came in at that time
on a hot air balloon and entered the house.
He anchored it while he made the killing
then after hopped back on and left. A very common method.
If someone flew a hot air balloon that low in this town
it'd definitely be seen? - Yeah, it'd stand out!
Even without a hot air balloon there's a range of methods.
They could have been hiding in here since before it snowed.
And after killing him made a punch of balloons
with helium in them , really big ones.
He did it all really fast.
And after he'd finished blowing them up
he put them all together and made one big balloon to run away with.
Could that really be done in an hour?
That would stand out too, even more so than a hot air balloon!
The kids in town would all get really excited!
Hohou! I guess this is suicide then.
Yeah~ Looks like it must be~
But my bosses are on my back telling me to investigate the possibility of a murder.
Why? (??)- Well...Probably because
he was trying to buy land so aggressively. They told me to talk to all of his contacts.
Well they're wrong! Let's go.
Wait a second! Why're you in such a rush Ukai?
I'm not rushing it's just that
I'm more interested in the incident involving the politician.
Really!? Okay, let's go then! C'mon!
Aoyama-san, Mori-san thanks for your time.
Okay, let's go!
Ahhh... So these are the footprints you were talking about.
??
Ahhh that place...
N? What's the matter Akemin? - Ahhh
I took some photos of a coup-...
Why'd you do that? - I saw the snow and couldn't help myself...
But it's snowing in the city too? - The politician's house is over this way.
Ms. Landlord don't tell him about our investigation.
Sorry. I took the photos for his wife
from over there.
I didn't realize it was this close...
I'll give you the data too.
Thank you.
Did you just realize something? - No.
But I just heard the usual sound effect...?
Did you give all the photos you took to Yuuko-san?
Yeah I gave them all to her and the data too.
That's a detective's job, right? - Yeah.
So why are you so interested in this?
We already know who did it?
His lover could have made a mistake.
But the wife was holding a knife covered in blood
and after the killing she was pointing it at his lover?
If it wasn't the wife who did it?
Maybe she just freaked out or something.
She was cheated on, she had a good enough motive.
Detective, can I ask you something?
I'm in charge of the Don's case, I just came here by coincidence.
So what is it?
You don't need to do that.
Hey hey hey! What'd you just put in your pocket?
Nothing? - What kind of clue was it?
Hey, hey, hey! - Look, just shut up.
Kuuu! I'm so excited!
Oh, I think a CM is coming.
That's...Not my husband's.
And it also doesn't belong to me.
I thought so. - Which means that
it must belong to the murderer?
That's very possible.
But it's a really plain button so
it'd take a lot of time to track down the owner.
And Yuuko-san could get caught before then.
I've seen both crime scenes and I can't help but feel
that both incidents are connected.
Ee? How?
I'm not sure yet... By the way Yuuko-san,
do you have the photos we gave you the other day still?
Not with me...They're at home...
Your house... Guess we can't get them then.
What's good for when you're stuck~?
Akemi's cooking!
No one asked for that. - Go ahead, dig in!
We're at a hotel with delicious food, why
do we have to eat your cooking Ms. Landlord?
It's a big gyoza that's been stewed in miso!
Ohh...Do you think gyoza
should really be stewed in miso?
Well all I see lately is snow so
I decided to make something black to counter it!
And added in a huge gyoza!
But it's not just any old gyoza!
Inside there's...Chicken rice!
You're surprised right? Haven't seen many gyoza like this I bet.
It's kind of representative of a detective finding the truth.
That's the theme of it.
Ryuhei-kun, eat it.
Okay.
Plus there's a hidden flavor as well,
I added in a little consommé.
I can't taste it at all.
Ummm...I don't think I can bother everyone anymore
I'm going to go to the police and tell them the truth.
You can't! If you go to the police
you might end up getting wrongly convicted.
But If I stay here any longer you guys might get in trouble too...
That's fine!
You didn't do it, and I believe that.
I'm going to solve this mystery and prove your innocence.
What's this?
Today's Ukai is different then usual. Oi!
He's so cool!
There's no mystery I can't solve.
I'll definitely find the real criminal.
Thank you.
Leave it to me. I'll protect you until the very end...
Ahh!
Ah, she's here! Yuuko Mizusawa~
Secured at 6:47pm.
You're arrested~ That's one case closed~
Don't forget to help me with the other Ukai.
Bye! Wait...!
Hey wait...Ah!
Hmm...Looks like this is a thing. Every time you act
all cool and say "I'll protect you" and stuff
the person gets arrested straight away.
The same thing happened to me.
Oi! Go and get some Geisha!
There's no Geisha at this hotel.
Okay, you dance Ms. Landlord. - What!? I'm not a Geisha!
Just dance!
Wow! That's really cool Ms. Landlord.
Right? - Wowwww.
Ryuhei-kun - Yes?
You dance too. - Huh? Me too?
You try to! - Readyyyy? Go.
Ohhh! You've got it! Okay, one more time.
Ready go!
Looks fun. I think I'll try too.
Readdyyy go!
What is that~!?
That's not the moon walk at all!
You're just walking backwards!
He passed out.
Wow he's so annoying when he's drunk.
Same goes for you.
Ms. Landlord! - Ha?
It's not safe...
I'll...Protect you...
Hello?
Why're you up so early Detective?
Ohhh, it's you.
You're investigating the Ikagawa Constructions incident, right?
What do you know? - I know something...But what about the cash?
When I get back I'll buy you that microwave you wanted.
A microwave! Thanks... I don't really have
anywhere to plug it in though.
But the thought is what counts.
Is there something going on in the shadows? - Yeah
Ikagawa Constructions is trying to make a ski park
and they're locked in a battle with the town at the moment.
So they're trying to talk with politicians
and other public figures.
I thought so.
It was a murder right? - Must have been.
Looks like I'm gunna have to search for the chicken rice in the gyoza.
What's that mean? - Nevermind.
This is a one timer! - Thank you.
Let's go skiing when every thing's over Detective!
Yeah! - Do you have the photos...?
Yes, these are all of them. - Thank you.
Is there something strange about them?
I see... - I see...
When your husband saw these
did his attitude change at all?
Attitude...
Now you mention it
he was saying that he wouldn't accept a divorce
but then when he saw all the photos suddenly...
Okay, fine.
I remember finding it kind of strange.
Looks like this is the last time I'll see you...
That's kind of sad.
I've cracked this case!
But it's ALREADY been cracked!
I've cracked it to - What?
Lets go back to the crime scenes.
Okay, but why?
I have a feeling the killer will come back
to one of them to recover something they left behind.
They left behind?
It's this. I found it at the Mizusawa's house.
It's probably the button from a blazer.
The murders were on Saturday and today is Monday
if they realized the button is missing they'll come today.
Wow, your theory is perfect...
You kind of looked like Eichiro Funakoshi for a moment!
Thank you. Anyway, let's split up.
You go to Mr. Sasaki's and
because it's dangerous I'll send Ryuhei over there too.
I'll go to the Mizusawa's.
Are you sure you don't want the Detective's help?
The police won't believe us about the real criminal.
Ahhh right, they still think Yuuko did it.
Yoshi! I'm definitely gunna get you, killer!
Ahh, before that we need to set something up.
Ee?
Ryuhei-kun?
Is that you Ryuhei-kun?
Or...Are you the killer?
Hurry up and come out.
I'm a black belt in Shodo!
No way...
Hello, sorry.
Did you meet up with Ms. Landlord?
No I just got here, sorry.
Is she there?
Akemi-san?
Akemi-san!?
She's not.
Shit!
Why'd you do something so dangerous without telling me!?
Well would you have believed me about the killer if I had?
No, I wouldn't have. Sorry!
Can you find out... Where she is at the moment!?
Miki will be back soon just calm down!
Boss! - Look she's back.
I tracked her cellphone. - Where is she?
In a really bad place...
Wow! Right in the middle of the mountains.
Maybe she was killed and dumped there...
Detective! Sorry!
What do you want to do Ukai-san?
Go save her, of course. - That's not possible right now.
It's snowing in the mountains and it's only gunna get stronger.
Even the townspeople wouldn't go up there now.
We'll have to wait 'til tomorrow, it's too dangerous.
That'll be too late! - I know but it's not safe!
I'm the one who let this happen to her!
It's my fault! - Ukai!
Sorry. - Ukai's assistant!
Wow... We're really lucky it cleared up.
Yeah but we don't know when it'll start up again.
Yeah. - It's really cold, right?
Yeah. Look at this...
Minus 20 degrees.
No way...! Ukai-san, we might actually die here.
The best detectives
can survive any situation they're put in to.
I believe you. - Leave it to me.
It's so cold. We're gunna die...
What happened to surviving any situation!?
Oh right...
I b-b-brought... Hot soup for this...
It's really cold! And metally!
Of course it is. Let's just light a fire instead.
This is all because you didn't bring ski wear.
What's going on?
Where am I!?
Master? Why are you here?
You can't lose now.
No matter what kind of incident you get wrapped
up in you have to solve the mystery. That's the rules to a suspense drama.
You're right!
Even pinches like this...
Are important for ratings.
Just hold in there.
People should come to save you soon.
Yeah!
Mysteries set in snowy mountains...
Are the best.
Ee...What about a cliff?
Cliffs are too far away,
you should forget about that.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay...See you around.
Ahh...
Ms. Landlord...Ms. Landlord!
He was right! You came to save me!
Of course we did! We'll get you out now!
This snow is pretty hard, it won't break...!
Hurry up and get me out! It's cold!
Okay! I'll transform!
Transform into what?
I get the feeling... I can become stronger.
Transform!
What're you doing you dumb ass!
Sorry!
I'll get you out!
Don't give up, Ms. Landlord!
I'll save you!
Ukai-san... - What? What's the matter?
You...
Look kind of cool!
I hate it when you only talk about money but for once
I thought you looked cool just now.
It's not the time for that though?
You're cool! You're so handsome Detective Ukai!
Ukai-san... It's not working.
You're not really sweating either.
Don't say that... Just let him do it!
Aahh, Ukai-san! A helicopter is here!
Is it Detective Sunagawa? - How lucky!
She's alive right? Right!?
In here! - Oh there!?
We were having a moment! - Akemin are you okay!?
I'm okay~! Yoshi! Let's call the rescue team!
Hurry! - Listen to what I say for once, you idiots...
I couldn't transform like you told me Detective Sunagawa.
Satomi, Moe...Why're you here?
Mr. Funakoshi visited us in our dreams at the same time!
He told us you were in a pinch
and that we should go see you!
Mr. Funakoshi~!
Hey? Where's Ryuhei? - He's running an errand for me.
The both of you discovered your boss Mr. Sasaki's body, right?
Yes.
You got an email at 9am
and when you came here at 10am he was dead...
Right? - Yes.
And today
you've come in the same clothes you were in on that day, right?
Yes.
First please look at this photo.
What's that? - At Mrs. Mizusawa's request we
took photos of her husband
Shinsaku-san cheating. - Why are you showing us that?
In this photo there is
a really important secret hidden.
Ee? What is it? - Yeah what is it?
You don't see it?
Well, I could explain it but
I'll leave it to Ukai-san. - Okay.
If you're from this town you should know
what's in the middle of the photo?
This house? - That's right.
This is Mr. Sasaki's house. And on the stairs
you can see someone standing, right?
Yeah... - But it's hard to see who it is...
Even so, there's no mistake that this person is the killer.
Ee!?
Even so, there's no mistake that this person is the killer.
Ee!?
That's right, Mr. Sasaki didn't kill himself. He was KILLED.
And Shinsaku Mizusawa was killed by the same person.
What!? - I knew it.
If you look at this photo you'll know who the killer is.
But this photo is a little hard to...
This photo is actually one of a series.
Even if they were taken sequentially it won't change how big it is.
No it won't, but you can see movement.
What do you mean?
Did you see it?
Please look again and focus on the suspicious figure.
He's walking backwards.
That's right! Backwards. Just like he's doing the moon walk.
Moon walk!
And the reason he was doing this was to
make it look like Mr. Sasaki had entered the house.
He put on Mr. Sasaki's shoes and
walked backwards so there would be footprints.
Oh right!
You only JUST got that? Are you really a detective?
Let me be frank. The killer is...
You, Mr. Aoyama.
Haa? What are you talking about...
You used Mr. Sasaki's cellphone
and made it look like he emailed you and Ms. Mori
as a camouflage AND
because you had to return his shoes to the house too.
What are you talking about?
Why did that make you think that I'm the killer?
I asked the both of you to come in the same clothes
that you discovered the body in.
Mr. Aoyama, your bag looks
big enough to fit men's shoes in it.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
When your husband Shinsaku-san saw the photos
he accepted the divorce, right? - Ahh...Yes.
Before that he wouldn't agree but as soon as he saw them
his attitude changed completely. When I heard that I realized.
Yuuko-san's husband saw it as well.
When he took his lover back to her house he saw you, Mr. Aoyama.
When he saw the photos
he realized that you had made it look like Mr. Sasaki
killed himself.
Because Shinsaku-san was a politician
he'd been into this house multiple times and
he had met you as well.
When he saw all the photos he probably cracked your trick.
He realized if he had these photos
he could extort money from you.
He intended to use that money for his divorce damages, so he accepted it.
But when Shinsaku-san
threatened you he was killed.
And the one who found his body was his wife Yuuko-san.
It's all conjecture. You have no evidence!
You forgot something though.
What do you mean?
This.
You were looking for it, right?
It was in Shinsaku-san's house, not Mr. Sasaki's.
Shall we search your house?
You have a blazer that's missing a button, right?
This button is a really common one. It's not solid evidence!
You're getting really defensive,
A o ya ma!
Ukai-san!
I recovered it.
You're finally here.
This is the solid evidence you wanted.
Ryuhei-kun, hook it up to the TV. - Okay.
Because you were stupid enough to be
photographed the last time I thought
you'd let us take footage of you in this
situation too.
Ahh...
You can only give up now.
Aoyama-kun...Why'd you kill him?
He was probably going to try and
shake money out of it.
That's not it.
Ha?
You couldn't forgive him for wanting to ruin this town with the
development, right?
You said it yourself Ukai-san. He looks really proud of Ikagawashi.
That must be it.
Ikagawa is... A beautiful city.
But it was going to
lose it's beauty to all the developments and...
That's enough! I'm going.
Ee~!?
Nonono! Let's listen! There was the
party where you saved me in this episode too so it's only natural.
Plus it's the last episode. C'mon! You have to listen.
What are you talking about? I need to get back quickly
to start searching for a lost dog.
Ukai-san I'll go back first and start searching?
Aoyama seems like a nice guy... So you should listen.
No it's fine! I don't really care that
much about Ikagawa anyway so let's go.
Nin!
I can't believe you used the classic footprints in snow trick.
Aren't you embarrassed at all?
Well I hadn't really planned it all out...
We argued the night before and it just kind of happened...
Even so snow footprints! - Unbelievable!
Umm...Why is everyone being so hard on me?
But the police who couldn't crack it are pretty embarrassing too.
Anyway, bye!
Ukai-san! The reward for this one is 2 000 000 yen!
This is the highest paying job we've ever had.
Yeah. - Hey.
What did Detective Sunagawa ask for on the phone before?
I don't know.
When 2 million yen is on the line I ignore everything else.
Although...Money isn't everything. - It is to you.
At least tell me the details of the incident!
What are you gunna do with them?
Here I am~
I won't do it!
A guest at a rich person's mansion in Ikasumigaoka was killed and
there was a threat saying ALL the other guests would be killed too.
This might turn into a string of murders.
How exciting~! - I'll go Detective!
Go alone! - We don't want just you.
What...!? - Just leave us alone Detective.
I don't want to do it either y'know? It's just that the rich guy
says he'll pay anything to whoever catches
the killer so...
Let's go! No, please LET me go!
No this again... It's the third time in this episode.
What do you mean by "episode"? - All you do care about is money...
It's not about the money! I'm worried about you Ms. Landlord.
I don't want to put you in danger again...
That's all there is to it.
Didn't you tell me to "go alone" just before?
I forgot. - You were so cool at the mountains though
"Ms. Landlord, I'll save you~!"
I forgot that too. - You were talking in your sleep too.
"I'll protect you Ms. Landlord!" How embarrassing.
Talking in my sleep? What? - You did say that.
Looks like...
You really really like me!
I...I...
Don't like bird watching!
Hurry up, let's go!
Yeah, let's go!
"The birdwatcher Ukai"
It doesn't matter...
I hate detectives like you!
