Okay!
What's this?
Ah...
What's "The Detective School"?
It's a school I attended.
They gave me "The Detective's 7 Tool Set", so it was well worth it.
I'm asking why I should pay for it?
Because it's a business expense.
I studied surveillance and tailing there.
This doesn't count as an expense.
It's way cheaper than Takano's food.
Takano-san's food expenses are over budget too!
And we still have bills to pay for remodelling the office.
What? I thought the owner paid for that.
That was over budget.
You can't blame me for that.
Kyoko-chan, where's the calligraphy paper?
It's all gone!
Hey, Ryosuke-kun.
We're not finished yet.
I see.
That's okay.
Hey, are you listening to me?
Ryosuke-kun, you're not taking this seriously, are you?
Ahh, lunchtime!
What are we having?
That's enough you two!
I've been telling you again and again...
We have no money!
Kyoko-chan must be very hungry.
No, it's because we don't have any clients.
Ryosuke-kun, you have experience selling stuff.
What?
Should I ask if they need a detective?
Nobody sells detective services.
It's a great new idea. You'll be the door-to-door detective, Hoh Han Tan!
Really? - Yes.
That sounds fun. - I'm really going to quit Holmes Agency.
Wait, Kyoko-chan. We'll do something.
We'll get a lot of clients. - How?
Kyoko-chan, Ryosuke-kun has supernatural powers.
Hey...
I'll really quit.
I'm sorry.
Well...
No way!
You're awesome!
Thank you for coming!
Please come inside.
Welcome to Holmes Agency.
Be quiet!
Okay.
Are you selling knives?
I don't think he is.
We don't have any money.
- Shut up!
Is that blood?
Is he injured?
Shut up!
If you say a word, I'll kill her!
Okay.
Hey, anybody home?
They may be out.
The door is open. We should answer them.
Right?
Don't say a word.
Okay.
Beat him!
We're here.
Open up!
Sorry, but we're cleaning the place. It's a mess right now.
Cleaning...
We lost a murder suspect around here.
A murder suspect...?
A suspect?
The suspect is about 30, and wears a beige jacket.
He also has a scar on his left eye.
I see. - Bullseye!
Are Kuitan and the other guy there as well?
She doesn't remember my name?
Yes. Saotome-kun is here too.
Okay. If you see a stranger give us a call.
Okay.
Who's Saotome?
Quiet! The suspect is in there.
She said the wrong name on purpose.
I see. Then...
Igarashi, it's dangerous! We don't know the situation inside.
Then, what should we do?
Meow...
What should we do?
Let's go. - Okay.
That was the police.
Come this way.
Move away from us!
Back off!
Sit down over there.
Calm down.
Hurry up and sit down!
Stop now!
Saotome-kun.
Don't come closer!
Saotome-kun.
Don't point that knife at me!
Saotome Ryosuke-kun!
Be quiet.
Don't move!
Don't tell me...
Yes, we're hostages.
Menu 2: Even hostages eat spaghetti.
Will you beat him up?
What do you want?
I'm hungry.
What?
He is just hungry.
Don't mind him.
He has a weak constitution.
Right, Kuitan?
Kuitan?
Yes, I'm Kuitan.
The gluttonous detective.
Detective?
Yes. I'm the gluttonous detective...
Stop it!
Hey!
What is it?
This is...
It's Bolognese.
It's just meat sauce.
Wasn't there a lot of meat in it?
There isn't much difference between Bolognese and regular meat sauce.
But Bolognese has more meat in it.
It's infused with the taste of beef...
and mixed with wine and tomato sauce...
Ah, I want some now!
Kyoko-chan, can you make some for me now?
Shut up!
It's not important!.
Takano-san, please think about the situation!
I am. It's already past noon.
It's going to be dinner time soon.
You priorities are all wrong...
What should I do?
Answer the phone.
Wait.
Don't say anything.
Hello, this is Holmes Agency.
Hello, is this Kyoko?
Who are you?
It's me, Ogata!
Ah, Momo-chan!
She is my high school friend.
What's up? How have you been?
How are you?
I'm fine.
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm busy.
How about Takano-san and Saotome-san?
They're busy too. We're making dinner.
Do you have a guest?
Yes, a guest.
The suspect is alone.
Kyoko, are you using a knife right now?
Yes, I'm chopping stuff.
I see. Your cooking skills must have improved.
Kyoko, if you need anything I can send it to you.
Need something? I don't need anything.
Don't be shy.
Thank you.
Don't you want Manjyu (Japanese steamed cake)?
Hey, you!
I didn't do anything.
What's going on?
Detective Igarashi?
He's not a detective. He just has a weird name.
Damn you. Don't make fun of me!
Hey, are you alright?
You're stupid.
Are you the detective who was just here?
Yes.
Release the hostages right now and surrender.
Give me your cell phones.
You too!
I don't have one.
Don't lie.
Everyone has a cell phone!
He's not like other people.
I'm telling the truth.
Ah, this is for the suspect.
You, the suspect!
Well, excuse me for a bit.
Wow...
The building is surrounded.
Stop your useless resistance and release the hostages immediately.
You should check out the front.
Why don't you give up?
Shut up!
Don't talk!
Okay.
What's going on out there?
You won't believe it.
I won't?
Remain ready and wait for my instructions!
Okay? - Yes!
Igarashi, are you ready?
Just a moment... Ouch!
Hurry up!
Okay, okay.
Stay put!
Well, why don't you surrender?
What?
Kyoko-chan...
There's no point for you to stay here.
Don't move.
You'll be arrested or even shot to death when they force their way in.
- Go back to your chair!
Why don't we have lunch before that happens?
Shut up!
Ah, that sounds like a news channel helicopter.
Really?
Ryosuke-kun, turn the TV on!
Which channel?
Channel 4. - Hey!
They're broadcasting from the air.
Ah, that's our sign.
Yeah, you're right!
What are you?
You're hostages!
Is that Momo-chan? - Where?
And that's Igarashi-san.
Isn't it? - I don't think so.
Yes, she's there. It's Momo-chan.
Ahh!
Why did you turn it off?
Please be quiet!
I don't know why I'm doing this.
I don't have time for this.
What do you mean by time?
None of your business.
It may be a drug deal.
I don't think so.
Well, this is a detective agency.
We may be able to help you.
Kyoko-chan...
Can you tell us what happened?
Chef Motooka at Vino always welcomed me.
When I went there, he used to come and chat with me. But that day, he didn't.
So... "Thank you for the meal!"
Motooka-san?
I'm coming in.
What? Hey!
Motooka-san? Motooka-san!
Delivery!
Hey, what are you doing?
No... It wasn't me!
Why did you run away?
I don't know.
Why did you pull the knife out?
I don't know!
Have you heard about "Vino"?
That's not the point.
Ryosuke-kun, you've been there, right?
I go there occasionally. Their food is good.
Really? Ryosuke-kun's taste is unreliable.
That's mean...
It was awful. His meat sauce was awful today.
I used to go there all the time and it was always delicious.
Really? It tasted the same to me.
It's changed a lot.
You haven't been there for a long time, right?
I was in jail.
In jail...? - Yes.
I was released today.
I see.
I'm glad you got out.
Don't be nervous. - I'm not.
I'm sorry. Please continue.
I had a fight with a drunken man.
When I punched him, he hit his head hard and became unconscious.
Then, you haven't killed anybody.
He's already recovered but he's still in hospital.
There's a public hospital near Vino's.
Then, as soon as you got out of jail, you went to the hospital?
Yes.
I can't deny that I've committed a crime in the past...
... but I didn't kill Motooka-san.
What did you eat in jail?
Hey, that has nothing to do with this.
Because... Ah, yeah!
I have a good idea. Why don't we make Vino's Bolognese?
What?
If we can figure out why his Bolognese wasn't good today...
We may be able to prove your innocence.
How come?
I'll explain that to you after we make it.
If you can't prove your innocence, you won't be able to get out of here.
Okay.
Kyoko-chan, Ryosuke-kun, can you prepare the ingredients?
And boil water too.
Okay.
He just wants to eat Bolognese. - I think so too.
But we may get a chance to escape.
This wasn't made for killing people.
Please believe in me.
That's good.
Why don't you wash your hands?
Bolognese... Bolognese...
Ah, Miyuki!
Ah, you have a new pendant.
Miyuki, you did a good job!
That's Kyoko-chan. How's my idea?
Shut up.
Everybody is fine.
Miyuki, look up.
Ahh, almost!
That's the sofa.
Miyuki, look up a little more. Ah, almost...
Okay, keep it! A bit up...
Stop!
That's the suspect.
I'll send the picture to the station.
Fukami, identify him! - Yes.
Igarashi, how about sound?
Since cats don't talk, I didn't install a microphone.
I want to hear what they're saying!!
I see.
Damn you!
Ah, Miyuki is going to take a nap.
Miyuki, wake up!
Igarashi!
Ah, here it is!
Okay.
Mr. Motooka Yoshiaki from "Vino".
Here's a recipe his Bolognese.
It looks really delicious. Let's start cooking!
Can you help us?
Takano-san, we only have Penne.
You had long pasta, right?
It wasn't shaped like a pencil.
How do you know that 'Penne' comes from 'Pencil'?
That's not important.
It is! There are about 600 kinds of pasta in Italy.
What should we do? We need long pasta.
Why?
It's very important to use the right kind of pasta.
The taste changes when different types of pasta are used.
If we don't use the right pasta, we can't reproduce Vino's Bolognese.
Ryosuke-kun, how thick was the spaghetti there?
The thicker type is called 'spaghettoni'.
A little thinner is called 'spaghettini'.
Yet thinner is called 'fedelini',
and the thinnest is called 'vermicelli'.
Or 'capellini' for that matter.
Or 'angel hair'.
Angel peanuts?
No, Ryosuke-kun!
So?
It was about this size.
I can't tell.
How thick?
It wasn't very thin.
By the way, we don't know your name.
Right.
You don't want us to know, right?
How about Mr. Bolognese?
That's not funny. - Sorry.
How about Neapolitan?
That's our band name. (They perform under the name Neapolitan)
Right.
How about Pasta-san?
That's good!
Pa-sta...
You like that, right?
So, your name is Pasta-san!
Pasta-san!
Igarashi, that's enough.
She may wake up any moment.
We can't wait for that.
Inspector! We've identified the man.
Nagase Keizou, 35.
He was released from prison today.
What?
Does he have family?
I'll check!
He was in jail...
What should we do, Takano-san?
We don't know what kind of pasta...
And we need the ingredients.
At least, we want to know what kind of pasta he used.
But he's dead, so we can't ask him.
I know where "Vino" is. So, I'll just go and check.
And I'll get the other stuff too.
Ryosuke-kun, are you trying to run away?
No way, Kyoko-chan!
Why doesn't Kyoko-chan go?
No.
Well...
Then, we can't make pasta.
Ah, there is somebody...
Is it good?
It's delicious!
What do you want, Ryosuke-kun?
I'm busy right now.
What?
What's wrong, Hajime-kun?
Why did you hang up?
Did you call Hajime-kun?
He's a kid, so nobody will really notice.
You involved a kid in this?
Stop it!
Calm down.
Oh, that must be him.
Hello?
It's Takano.
Hajime-kun, can you do me a favor?
Yes. I got it.
Sorry, Rie-chan. But I have to go.
What is it? I can help you.
I don't want you to be in danger.
What?
Why did you ask Hajime-kun?
We can't fool him. He's a smart boy.
Much smarter than Ryosuke-kun.
Why are you so worried about the time?
What are you waiting for?
I became a father recently.
While I was in jail.
I have an appointment at 3 o'clock.
I see.
I hope Hajime-kun comes through.
Yes?
Hajime-kun, how was it?
Right. Kyoko-chan, write it down.
Vasari's Spaghettini #9?
Pamia's whole tomato...
And Rezilia, Italian red wine.
Grazie! Grazie, Hajime-kun!
Now we know!
Hajime-kun is awesome.
Unlike someone who went to a detective school but learned nothing.
Who might you be talking about?
Well, now we can make Vino's Bolognese.
We know which ingredients to use but we don't have any of them.
I have a great idea.
Hey, how's it going?
There's nothing yet.
Chief, there's your food.
Okay.
Hello?
It's Ogata. - Oh, Momo-chan.
What's the situation?
It's a deadlock.
There's no response from the inside.
I see.
Wow!
Wait a second.
The suspect has a demand.
What's that?
Vasari's Spaghettini #9...
Pamia's whole tomato...
And Rezilia, a red wine from Italy.
Why does he need that?
Please get it within 10 minutes.
Do it now!
Okay.
Well done.
Well, I did go to a detective school.
You pulled me too hard. - Sorry, Kyoko-chan.
But it was fun.
Let's make Vino's Bolognese.
What are you, people?
We are from Yokohama Holmes Agency.
Oh! Ryosuke-kun, meat please.
Kyoko-chan, chop vegetables.
Pasta-san, chop garlic.
Okay.
10 minutes are almost over.
If they don't deliver in time, what will happen to us?
One of the hostages will die...
What?
Is it okay to let him use a knife?
It's okay. A tense atmosphere will catch its audience.
Shut up!
Are you scared?
We've got everything. Can you come and pick it up?
Kyoko-chan. - Okay.
However, there's one condition.
Release a hostage.
Hajime-kun is there. What will we do?
You can leave.
What? Really?
Ryosuke-kun, you look happy.
No... - You're the lowest of the low.
You only think about your own safety, right?
- Kyoko-chan!
Ah, Ryosuke-kun just tried to attack the suspect!
Make some fighting sounds.
Please bring the stuff right away!
Kyoko-chan...
Waa!!!!!
I'll go.
No. It's too dangerous.
I'm a part of Holmes Agency too.
But... - Please!
Let me go.
Ready?
Igarashi, I'm counting on you.
Roger!
It's Hajime.
Hajime-kun, thank you.
How is it, is everyone alright?
It's really serious.
Hajime-kun, please come in.
Come in. - Igarashi-san, you can go back.
Oh, this is it!
Igarashi-san, go now!
Thank you for coming, Hajime-kun. I almost starved to death.
Ah, I'm really hungry.
Ah, you haven't met him before, right?
Let me introduce him. This is Pasta-san.
Pasta-san?
Yes.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for your hard work.
Hey, Kindaichi.
Ryosuke-kun, are you all right? - I'm fine.
Hajime-kun, thank you.
Ah, Vasari's Spaghettini #9.
Takano-san. Yes?
What's going on here?
Don't worry. He's a good man.
Hey, Pasta-san. You have to chop garlic.
Okay, we have everything now.
We can recreate Vino's Bolognese.
He's taking too long.
We shouldn't have let a child go.
What?
Ahhhhh... Can you hear me?
Give it to me!
Release the kid!
Do you hear me?
If you do, say something!
Hey, say something!
It's done!
It smells great!
It looks like Vino's.
Good.
Well, let's try it.
Thank you for the meal.
Well, Pasta-san. Here you go!
This looks delicious.
Hey, what are you doing?
Release the boy now!
Do you hear me?!
It's getting loud. Hajime-kun, you should go back.
What?
Because Momo-chan is getting fired up.
I'll make this again for you later.
Go!
Mmm, it's delicious!
Are you all right?
I was abused.
What?
It was awful. Really awful!
What happened?
Ahh, it's really delicious!
May I have that?
It's delicious but it's not the same as Vino's.
What do you think?
It's more like the Bolognese I had today.
Right.
Takano-san.
So can you still prove my innocence?
Ah, that totally escaped my mind.
You just wanted to eat Bolognese, didn't you?
What should we do?
I have to go now! It's almost 3 o'clock.
That's impossible. The police are everywhere.
You cheated me!
In which respect?
Well...
Please calm down.
It's awful! What's this?
Kyoko-chan, this water tastes awful.
That's hard water for my diet.
Perfume? I don't smell anything.
Not that "kousui" (meaning perfume).
"Kousui" as in "hard water".
Isn't it awful?
I see.
Pasta-san didn't kill him.
Kyoko-chan, do you have more of this water?
We have a whole case.
Okay!
Kyoko-chan, you've spent money on yourself too!
It's cheaper when you buy it by the case.
Ryosuke-kun, help me please!
What are you doing?
Ryosuke-kun, you did an excellent job, really excellent!
Please come this way.
Ah, it's the S.W.A.T. team!
They're here!
Thank you for coming.
Group 1 take the rooftops. Group 2 stand by on the ground.
It's done.
Mmm, this looks delicious.
Thank you for the meal.
Ouch!
Oh, sorry, Ryosuke-kun.
Well, do it again.
Mmm, this is excellent!
Does the water change the taste that much?
Yes it does. The chef at"Vino" used hard water to boil his pasta.
But the Bolognese that Pasta-san had today was made with soft water.
It may have even been tap water.
Try it.
How is it?
This is Vino's pasta.
It's much better.
How about you, Pasta-san?
It's Vino's pasta.
Why is it so different?
Hard water contains many minerals.
So the calcium hardens the pasta and gives it a crunchy texture.
What do you mean?
The Bolognese that Pasta-san had today wasn't made by the chef.
That's right.
The real culprit made it.
He must not have known that the chef used hard water.
Thank you.
That man must have done it!
He must be quite bold.
Pasta-san, why don't you surrender yourself?
Then you can explain.
How long will it take to dismiss a false charge?
Since there'll be a police investigation and an on-site inspection, it'll take time.
You may not be released until the true culprit is arrested.
No way! I have to be there at 3 o'clock.
Where?
At Ohsanbashi.
The ferry terminal...
3 o'clock... To catch a boat to Izu Ohshima?
You want to go to Izu Ohshima?
It's about my wife.
Your wife?
When I was released from prison, I got a letter from my wife.
She wrote that she wanted a divorce.
I wrote back.
I wrote: "I will never commit a crime again, please think it over."
And... "If you still love me, hang out a yellow scarf."
A yellow scarf...
That sounds familiar... (It's a famous line from a Japanese movie)
I'm a clumsy man. (A famous line by Japanese actor Takakura Ken)
Oh, Takakura Ken.
Thank you. (Another line by Takakura Ken)
"If you don't love me, take the ship and leave."
And...?
Kyoko-chan, Ryosuke-kun, it's almost 3 o'clock.
Let's try to get him there by 3.
How?
We have to get out of here.
That's impossible!
There're hundreds of police officers outside.
Ryosuke-kun, use your brain a little.
Ryosuke-kun, you went to a detective school. Don't you have any ideas?
If you come up with a good idea, I'll cover that tuition fee.
Leave it to me.
Ah, they're coming out!
Ryosuke-kun!
Where's the suspect?
He isn't with them.
What happened?
Ryosuke-kun is sick.
So, he released us.
Okay, come here.
Yes.
Are you all right?
Ryosuke, are you all right?
Ryosuke-kun...
Yes. I'll take him to the hospital.
Take the ambulance.
Don't worry. I'll drive.
Just use the ambulance!
But we don't have time.
What?
The ambulance can go faster than your car.
Get in!
Okay.
Get in! Hurry up!
Fukami, you go with them. Yes.
Ah, we're fine.
Please save Takano-san.
Kuitan? Of course!
Please hurry up.
Ryosuke-kun!
Two hostages were released.
Chief, please allow me to execute Plan B.
Only Kuitan and the suspect are inside, right?
Yes.
Chief!
Okay. Execute Plan B.
Yes.
We'll go with Plan B.
Take your positions!
Yes!
What about Kuitan?
He'll be fine.
You don't want more Bolognese?
Mmm, it's good!
Let's go.
Ah, it's Ohsanbashi.
What's wrong?
He seems fine now. Can you stop here?
Huh?
Please stop the ambulance.
They're coming.
Kuitan, are you all right?
Momo-chan, my eyes hurt.
Sorry.
Inspector.
Stop struggling!
Ah...
Yoko!
Keigo!
Yo... ko...
What?
He was disguised?
Right. Ryosuke-kun learned to do that at a detective school.
I made my own face mask.
Did you really think it was me?
Did I do a good job?
Damn you!
Ouch...
We'll arrest you for aiding a criminal.
Igarashi! - Yes.
Igarashi-san, come on!
See Ryosuke-kun, that's why I told you not to do it.
Hey!
Igarashi-san, can you wait a second?
Momo-chan... - What?
Will you do me a favor?
Did you find it?
Not yet.
I'm too nervous. Can you check for me?
Don't worry. There will definitely be a yellow scarf.
Kyoko-chan!
Takano-san!
Was everything all right?
How about the yellow scarf?
Not yet... - Ah!
Ah, aren't those the ones?
Is that your house?
Yes.
Is that yellow?
It's not yellow!
Anyway, let's go there?
Let's go! Hurry up.
No, I can't do it! - Let's go!
Don't worry. She'll be there.
Your last name is Nagase?
Yes.
Ring the bell.
But... - Hurry up!
Don't worry. Hurry up!
Ah, what did you do?
It's too late.
Yoko.
Ah, welcome home.
Did you wait for me?
Are these the scarves?
They're not yellow.
You just wrote, "Hang a scarf".
Huh? Did I really?
But why blue scarves?
I bought too many last year.
Ahh... ! (A high school baseball player wore a blue scarf at the Koushien tournament so they became a sales hit)
Keigo!
Momo-chan, thank you for waiting.
Are you satisfied?
Sorry for causing you trouble.
Igarashi, take him in.
Was there a yellow scarf?
Yes.
That's great. I like that movie too.
The real suspect is still at large!
That's right. I had forgotten about that.
Sorry!
Really?
Yes, yes, thank you for calling.
They caught the real culprit.
That's good news.
Who was it?
A friend of the chef. He wanted to borrow money but the chef refused. So he killed him.
I've given it a lot of thought...
But why would he make pasta after killing the chef?
He should have run away.
Then, Pasta-san would have found out that the chef had been killed.
So, he made Bolognese himself.
But he didn't know that the chef used hard water.
There was a back exit. He could still have run away.
Well, Pasta-san finally met his family.
Let's leave the rest to Momo-chan.
But... Why?
Ryosuke-kun, because...
Because...
Don't touch that.
That's my masterpiece.
It really grosses me out!
Is that because it's Ryosuke-kun's face?
Shut up!
Well, it's lunchtime!
Kyoko-chan.
We still have a lot of Bolognese left. Can you eat more Bolognese?
Today I want Neapolitan!
