Our mission's target...
Kitaba.
Pretending that we take on this mission,
we grab the chance to investigate the room.
Sister Snake.
Who is the one behind all of you?
One year ago,
on the same day the 500 million yen case happened,
the woman that you killed...
Kitaba Yoko.
Karen!
But I don't expect you to keep quiet about Kitaba.
There is no choice.
But thanks to her we got hold of important information.
The thing that links our memories...
Rei-san.
Hey, old man!
What's this?
Why was Karen attacked?
Don't just keep silent, say something!
Taiga!
Who in the world is that woman?
The president's name is Kitaba Yoko.
Then why did she die?
I'm going to convey President's message about the next mission.
Are you deaf?
Like hell I would do the job!
Whether you'll do or do not,
better listen first.
This mission is about the manuscript of a writer, Hatomura Soutaro.
Hatomura was a police detective 3 years ago.
He is related to that case last year.
The 500 million yen case, isn't it?
The original manuscript by this writer,
better call it as a kind of will.
Please steal it out.
Perhaps, this will be your last mission.
What do you mean by "last"?
After you read the manuscript,
you can recall all the memories.
I'm going to do this.
2 days ago, we were informed about this manuscript,
it certainly exists,
but its whereabout is unknown.
I'll be sure to find it.
There is nothing I can't steal.

Mission 6: A writer's manuscript
Hatomura Soutaro.
No real influential reports.
He just wrote a few gossip news.
But in "Weekly Real Life",
"The Wicked Side of Police Force" sounds quite meaningful.
Doesn't matter, Shinobu-cho! *a line from a TV programme*
Not similar!
The family?
Yes.
The wife passed away 15 years ago due to health problems.
Then, both father and daughter were living together.
In 3 years as a writer,
he was staying alone in an apartment.
In the past 2 months,
there is no single indication on any withdrawal from the bank.
Go check on Hatomura's past relationships.
Zeya!
Okay.
Over there.
The place where the daughter lives.
Ready, action!
Hatomura Kaede-san?
I am from Kyodansha editorial department, Yamagishi.
Actually, I heard about the rumours on your father's unpublished manuscript.
My father doesn't live here.
It seems to be related to the 500 million yen case a year ago.
I don't know.
Recently, do you feel like you're being followed around?
Good afternoon, everyone!
Today, Kano is doing a sudden coverage!
Sorry to intrude Weekly Real Life!
This is the head editor, Ito-san.
The camera seems to be having problems.
I'll go and change for a new one.
This is the second time, bringing trouble,
I'll toss you!
He's always like that, our director.
Don't bother.
I can't really act that way in front of camera.
Ah, Kosugi-chan, sorry to keep you waiting.
Really, spare me some thoughts!
Today we have a scouting session!
We are buddies.
Best friends, aren't we?
Work colleagues.
What's that...
Sorry to keep you waiting boss.
Do you have 100 yen?
Apprentice, we held a session with the editor.
I'll go to Hatomura's apartment after this.
It's been a few days,
I felt being followed all day.
Maybe, someone thought that
you know something about the manuscript.
No doubt about that.
My father left 3 years ago without telling me,
plus never contacts home.
Where is he and what is he doing actually?
Above all, I didn't know about him being a writer.
How could I even know about the manuscript?
Why don't you ask him directly?
Actually, Hatomura-san...
couldn't be contacted for 2 months already.
I see...
I am big fan of the article "The Wicked Side of Police Force".
I was the editor-in-charge for that article.
What type of person wrote that article?
He was a former police detective.
It's hard to read.
I need to retype and correct them using computer each time.
I would like to see the original manuscript of that man...
If your father's original manuscript is published,
it will adversely affect someone's life for sure.
I'm afraid these kinds of people are the ones following you.
No doubt, no doubt.
Yamagishi-san is also one of those troubled if the manuscript gets published?
How could I be related to this incident?
Such a suspicious person,
I won't let him enter my house.
Long since,
I am very confident of my valuation on people.
Is it because you're a daughter of a policeman?
No.
Do you have the latest manuscript written by this man?
You have it, don't you?
Show me.
Last time, he called saying that he completed the manuscript,
but it is still yet to arrive to me.
Where is it?
I don't know.
Any records?
No.
All burnt into fire.
Eh?
The last time he contacted me...
Ito-san.
Gather all manuscripts I gave you...
Burn them all.
Should I treat you for a meal tonight?
Oh no, it's already this hour!
I need to go for my next session.
Surprisingly, I am that busy.
There is no manuscript with the editorial,
which in fact they should have it.
I think it's true.
If I were Hatomura,
such an unreliable man,
how could I hand him such an important manuscript?
Nothing comes out here too.
There is sign of sealing in Hatomura's apartment.
If possible, could you let me see your father's bedroom?
Sure, but...
This way, please.
Thank you very much.
Please come in.
Excuse me.
Thank you very much.
Searching for a manuscript that is unknown whether it exists or not,
what a tough job.
It's "The Proof of the Devil". *title of a book*
The Proof of Devil?
For example, there are snakes in Ireland.
Just catch a snake and it will prove snake's existence.
But to prove that there is no snake in Ireland,
we need to search the country wholly.
In order to prove non-existence,
it is close to impossible, but that's it!
Whether the manuscript exists or not, no one can prove that.
I do hope your father's manuscript truly exists.
That is the truth I've been longing for.
That's why I believe in its existence, and I'll search for it.
So then, I'll take my leave.
You're an interesting person, Yamagishi-san.
But I don't know anything about the manuscript.
I'm very sorry, but it might not exist.
Because he is a former policeman, that's why there are rumours like that.
Because I am a policeman's daughter,
my feelings is sharp.
I am protecting her with this stalker plan!
I'm worried that she might be threatened,
but instead made her felt uncomfortable.
She looks like she is not worried about her father.
Speaking about Hatomura's links...
the person who kept in touch with him after he became a writer...
other than chief editor Ito, is this man.
Troublesome.
You pour too much!
It's all black!
Because this is black honey.
Sorry, I need to go to toilet.
Excuse me, which way to go to the toilet?
There is one near the rooms.
Thanks for waiting.
The dessert you ordered.
Quite a sensible way of eating.
You have the guts to come and see me.
I'm searching for Hatomura Soutaro's manuscript.
If you found it, then what?
So it really exists.
Do you have any clue?
2 months ago, Hatomura...
phoned the editor, telling him that he had finished writing the manuscript,
after that his whereabout is unknown.
Wasn't that because he was involved in a lot of trouble?
Where is the manuscript?
I want to know it, too.
What's your purpose?
When you were a child,
didn't you learn that rubbish must be thrown into dustbin?
Can't remember the past.
You pour too much!
It's all black!
Because this is black honey.
Hatomura-san.
Why did you know that the man was not guilty?
I have confidence in knowing the difference between a good person and a bad person.
Delicious!
Then, me too.
It's delicious, I tell you.
The moment the apprentice followed Hatomura Kaede,
he saw Sister Snake.
If that woman followed her too,
that proves that the daughter has the manuscript, right?
She said she didn't know where her father is, wasn't she?
The case involved people's lives.
If Hatomura disappeared 2 months ago,
for sure he had been killed.
Using all his might to complete the manuscript,
he would never give it that easily to others.
Yes, Yamagishi here.
This is Hatomura.
Um, I have something to tell you.
Have you made a police report?
The police can't be trusted.
Why is that?
The reason my father resigned from the force,
was because he wanted to expose the shady movements in the force.
In one year after he resigned,
many things happened to him.
Suddenly fell from stairs,
and got car brake dysfunctional.
Do you mean that someone is targeting his life?
Maybe.
Yamagishi-san.
The subject in my father's manuscript, is a dangerous subject, isn't it?
Yes.
The manuscript that he wrote,
I want to have a look at it also.
The manuscript,
which he bets his life on it.
The earlier part of the manuscript is with the editor-in-charge,
not with the police who worked together.
The manuscript that he risked his life on,
should be entrusted to the person he believes the most.
That is to say, to you, his daughter.
Can you let me have a look at your father's room once more?
At this place,
shouldn't there be any drawing drawn by you during childhood?
Oh, yes.
But, why?
Can you let me see the drawing?
Sorry.
You and your father...
buried a time capsule?
Father, when can we open this?
When Kaede becomes a bride,
let's open it together.
Kaede-san, where is this place?
Here.
Somehow, I have a great feeling about those two...
Nonsense.
How do you think about Rei?
Nothing.
Will they really find the manuscript?
Why do you know about the time capsule?
From the mark on the wall.
That shows something has been pasted there for a long time.
If it is something from your childhood,
I guess it may be your drawing.
Then there are 2 persons in the drawing, holding shovel.
But the father's shovel is too big.
In short, it may be used to bury something, I wonder.
This is buried recently.
Your father would want you to open it yourself.
This...
It appeared...!
Your father believes that you will open the box later.
No matter how many years you will take,
the truth is there, written for you to read.
3 years ago, your father left home,
because he is afraid that you might be involved in danger.
Your father...
is a man who believed in his own justice.
A brave writer who searched for the truth.
Your father always deposited money into your account.
Even though he parted ways with you,
he was always thinking about you.
Father, when can we open this?
When Kaede becomes a bride,
let's open it together.
Is this mother's?
"When Kaede becomes a bride,
give this to her as a gift."
She requested me to do that.
Father...
You won't go anywhere, will you?
I won't go anywhere.
Pinky promise, if I lie,
I will drink 1000 needles,
and cut my pinky.
I promised my father.
I will open this together with him when I become a bride.
The Proof of Devil.
No one can guarantee when will my father come back,
That's why I'll believe on.
I'll wait for him to come home.
I give this to you.
Please don't let my father's wish gone to dust.
You really can trust me?
I believe and have confidence in what I see.
Because I am a policeman's...
Because I am his daughter.
Easy.
Not really, eh?
What do you mean?
We can't even steal
her remaining hope.
What would you do?
After you.
Ignoring his own life for the sake of his child,
that's what a parent is.
I wonder what kind of people are my parents?
Rei!
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Oi!
Jack...
Rei, he...
Jack, you scum...!
As expected, Jack.
Good job.
