Excuse me!
Move over!
You're in the way!
Move!!
Help!!
(Metropolitan Police Department Kameido Police Station)
Hey.
Is it a button?
Hey Itomura!
Yes.
Excuse me...
What is it?
The victim was holding this tight.
Yeah.
He probably ripped it off from the perpetrator's jacket.
Okay, I'll send it to the lab for a complete analysis.
Please do.
I don't like this...
It looks pretty deep.
It probably reached his heart.
- Chief. - Yeah.
His money wasn't touched.
Tsujimoto Katsutoshi, born 1966.
45 years old.
- Oda - Yes?
Go to the address on the insurance card.
Yes sir.
I've sent a request for forensics to investigate the button that the victim was gripping.
We should get the results by this evening.
What's wrong?
Don't you think this victim looks too old for his age?
Ah, he's 45 years old?
He really doesn't look like he's my age.
Itomura-san, you look pretty young after all.
Only on the outside.
Although normally, detectives look older because of too much anxiety.
Sorry?
This way.
You're wrong! He's not my husband!
Otomo-san...
I don't know that man.
Don't shock me like that.
Otomo-san, can you please check his belongings too?
The body that was found wasn't Tsujimoto Katsutoshi.
What?
We asked his common-law wife, Otomo Yukina, to check his belongings.
She said that everything, including his clothes, socks, and underwear belonged to Tsujimoto.
This doesn't look good...
And since she was the one who gave the necktie and hat to Tsujimoto, she said that she's sure.
Meaning a completely different person was wearing Tsujimoto's clothes?
Shut up personal effects guy.
- Oh, nothing. - Next!
Here!
Bar Rhapsody, the bar that Tsujimoto was running, went bankrupt last month after having problems raising funds.
He spends his money around and he's also in debt with a lot of people.
Okay next.
Regarding the victim's fingerprint, we still can't identify him because he has no previous records.
From his sunburn and dirty nails, he probably works outside during the day as a blue-collared worker,
so we're investigating around construction sites.
Itomura, what happened to the button?
Ah, yes.
The button that he was gripping is used for men's jackets,
and it's a high-class item made from a water buffalo horn.
Whether it was tailor-made or ready-made, that jacket probably has expensive decorations.
- We're currently investigating how he got it. - Okay.
Continue and investigate the area around the crime scene and find the victim's identity.
And investigate the whereabouts of the missing Tsujimoto.
There's a high probability that the victim's clothes were stolen.
Also, focus on getting information from public baths and saunas.
- That's it! - Yes sir!
All personal effects were someone else's.
Timer, Translator: mhaellix
The cause of death is blood loss due to a stab from the back.
- It's a fragment of the murder weapon... - Yes.
The blade that was used to stab him broke and a fragment was left behind.
- Hm... Huh!? - Huh?
- Huh!? - Huh?
You want the weapon identified using this fragment?
- Impressive! You can do it ,right? - Probably not.
Sure you can.
There's a chance that all his belongings were stolen
but that's the only one that definitely belonged to the perpetrator.
Well, I will try...
Ah...
- Oh, by the way, Muraki-san. - Huh?
Is cosplaying that much fun?
Let's see...
- Hey! - What?
I don't have that kind of hobby.
What are you saying?
Dying wearing other's clothes just doesn't sit well with me.
What if there's a reason that the victim had to wear Tsujimot's clothes?
Reason?
Yes, for example:
What if he wants to do something under Tsujimoto's disguise.
Disguise... That's impossible!
Okay, I see.
Okay, we'll contact you again once we're more certain of the shape.
Okay.
You seem motivated, Yokoyama-kun.
I've decided not to question the work assigned to me and just strive faithfully.
And about this button.
Yeah?
They used a native water buffalo horn
so there's no other button like this.
I see.
It's a nice button.
Can you leave me alone already since the victim wasn't him anyway?
But Tsujimoto-san is still missing.
There's a chance that there was contact between him and the victim.
I already told you everything I know.
And to be honest, things hasn't been going well with us lately.
We were pretty well off until the bar closed down.
After that we were buried in debt.
Hey! I won 10,000 yen!
Get out of my way.
I'm looking for a source of income.
He was impatiently looking for a job
but he's just full of talk and doesn't work seriously.
They do say that the end of money is the end of the relationship.
Itomura-san.
Rumors are true that you're a master at interrupting.
Who are you?
Ah, nice to meet you.
I'm Itomura of the MPD.
Um... Have you ever seen this button before?
I don't think he's interested in any tailor-made suits.
Seems like it.
Hey personal effects chief, you're getting too cocky.
Please wait just a little longer, okay?
It's this person! No doubt about it.
He was making a scene saying that his clothes were stolen while he was showering.
Why didn't you report this to the police immediately?
This person told me not to contact the police.
Which cubicle did he use?
Ah, this way.
This one.
In short, Tsujimoto left his clothes here, took a shower, and then his clothes were stolen?
How often does this man come?
Ah, lately he's been coming often.
About three times per week.
Oh, by the way, this person left his belongings here.
Belongings?
Miyashita-san.
Huh? Oh.
- We'll take these. - Yes sir.
They have a shower room here so a lot of guests sleep here.
- That's pretty common lately. - Yes.
The man who stole Tsujimoto's clothes registered as Sakagami Keisuke.
Oda is investigating the details right now.
He was using the booth beside Tsujimoto.
Are we able to seize the computers that they were using?
I've arranged for that already.
Impressive as always.
He's pretty daring to go out with just a towel.
Leave if you're just gonna bother us.
Oh, he had a change of clothes.
In short, Tsujimoto chased after the victim and stabbed him because of rage?
But the jacket is...
I told you not to butt in.
But I don't think the button and the jacket match...
It's your job to know if they match or not.
All right. The probability that Tsujimoto is the perpetrator has gone higher.
Go and ask around again using a picture from this video.
Yes sir!
Chief! We've confirmed the identity of Sakagami.
Sakagami has been missing for seven years now.
Per his family's request, he has already been declared legally dead in court.
Dead?
I'm not liking this...
I really think that this one is better!
Fine, I'll pick that one.
It's like you're the one getting married.
Ah, that's true. It's better if I replace you.
Okay okay. Please don't steal my husband, okay?
You never know~
I have to get up early tomorrow so I'm sleeping now, okay? Goodnight.
Okay, goodnight.
Sakagami residence.
Yes?
What?
All right.
Sign: Dead Room
It's definitely him.
Dad...
This way please.
He left these at the internet cafe.
This is Dad's coin purse.
While he was working as a daily-paid worker,
he's been moving from one internet cafe to another.
Then he had money problems and decided to steal other people's clothes and wallet.
He disappeared seven years ago, didn't he?
Yes.
My husband used to work for a trading company.
The project that they were focusing on was derailed
and they took quite a great loss.
And about the same time, his mother passed away.
I think that influenced his decision too.
Note: Buddhist services are held on the 7th and 49th days after death
49 days after the death of his mother, he suddenly disappeared.
You declared him dead half a year ago?
Yes, my daughter is getting married next month...
Wedding...
Considering what others might say, I figured it would be better if he was declared dead...
- What are you saying, Mom? - It's fine.
I talked to your future-in-laws already.
You declared that he was dead without telling me first?
It's for your sake. It's better to do that for your future.
That's a lie.
You just wanted the easy way out.
It was just difficult to keep waiting for Dad, wasn't it?
But it's strange...
If he needed money, then he could've just stolen the wallet.
Why did he need to steal the clothes too?
The bereaved family can't possibly know that.
Let's go.
You identified it, didn't you?
It's not complete yet but we have the approximate size.
But we know what it's made of.
It's made of a steel called ATS-34.
So you'll be able to narrow down the manufacturer and purchaser too.
Jeez. It was difficult you know! We had to work overnight for this!
Huh? Really?
That's right.
- Now what... - Huh?
You know...
- Now what... - Huh? Huh?
- You know this... - Probably impossible...
Please look closely.
Look at this bump, it's not a normal one, right?
You know, I think there was a key inside.
You can identify the key using CG analysis, right?
Maybe...
Gracias.
Ah, hello? Yokoyama-kun?
Huh? The button?
Ah, really? Okay, I'll come back right away.
Oh, lately you've been amazing!
- It's this guy! - Oh!
He bumped into me!
Move over!
He ran in that direction.
- He went there? - Yeah, no doubt about it.
Hey, look one more time.
- It was him? - It was definitely him.
Have you seen him before?
No. How about you?
No, I don't.
Thanks.
Itomura-san.
Oh, ah thanks.
It's an original button from a well-established tailor in Kyoto.
Tailor Onoda...
What's the plan? Will they cover the trip's expense?
I see... It's in Kyoto...
Probably not.
I'll email him.
Yeah, we worked at a job site in Yokohama until last year.
Do you have any idea why Sakagami-san was murdered?
No...
But I'm sure that he was tricked.
That person is nice, you could say he's naive.
Naive?
Yeah.
Sakagami-san has it difficult already
but he still took a leave from work and took care of me.
He considered himself secondary.
I can't thank him enough for what he did that time.
How should I say it...
That person is just too kind.
Thank you very much.
Tsujimoto posted this on an online discussion board.
S?
It's drugs.
He was hanging around an internet cafe selling shabu (yaba) on a discussion board.
It's possible.
He's posted something similar multiple times.
But there's no undercover among Tsujimoto's acquaintances.
Maybe there were drugs inside the clothes that Sakagami Keisuke stole from Tsujimoto.
I see, that's why he didn't report it to the police.
Tsujimoto ran after Sakagami right away and caught him.
Then he took back the drugs...
and then silenced him.
- Chief, everything makes sense. - Yeah.
You're clear-headed as always, Takamura-san!
- I'm going now. - Have a good night!
Good night!
Oh? How rare.
You've started using a computer?
No, I'm just looking into the net cafe's search history.
Oh, about the drugs?
No, not Tsujimoto's but rather the victim Sakagami-san's.
So he confined himself in a net cafe and used Hello Work to look for a job.
Yeah...
Oh? A blog?
- Ikumi's diary... - Wait a second.
Sakagami-san's daughter is also named Ikumi-san.
Huh?
Oh.
He was looking at his daughter's blog.
It's pretty rare to write a blog with your real name and a picture of yourself.
Really?
Yeah.
Although some actors and popular people do.
Blog: Wedding Announcement
It must've been awful...
Our deepest condolences...
- What are you going to do now? - Yes...
Dad, it's our house. You're home.
Ikumi, want some tea?
Mom...
I'm postponing the wedding.
There's no doubt that it's Tsujimoto from the wanted list.
There are traces of him being attacked for an extended period of time.
Death due to shock from an external wound.
This button is different from the one Sakagami was gripping.
That's right.
(I am ending my blog today.)
Sakagami-san!
Sakagami...
We'll go ahead, 'kay?
You're Sakagami-san, right?
You ended your blog yesterday, didn't you?
I was wondering why.
No special reason.
You wanted to find your father?
Isn't that why you put your real name and even your picture on your blog?
I stopped because I didn't feel like blogging after my father's funeral.
That's all.
Excuse me.
Welcome back.
- Who was that? - You okay?
What are you doing?
Takamura-san!
Hey!
How's the business?
Well...
Heard things are going well for you.
Hey, I want you to tell me something.
You found the knife manufacturer?
Yes. After I've inquired, I was told that 110 people bought the same knife in the country.
There's 19 in the metropolitan area.
We got results here too.
It was a key after all.
Yes, length is a little less than three centimeters.
It's a suitcase key.
The manufacturer is Samtech with model number 202.
I've already ordered an identical master key.
Impressive as always! You're amazing, Muraki-san!
As long as I can help... Ouch! What the heck?
I'm just thanking you.
- Ah, this one. This one... - Ouch!
(Metropolitan Police Department Kameido Police Station)
I can't thank him enough for what he did that time.
That person is just too kind.
- Oda! - Yes?
Why so dazed? The meeting is starting.
Stop thinking about your boyfriend!
Please Little Miss!
Dragon God Clan?
Yes. According to my informer, a hoodlum from the Dragon God Clan has been looking for Tsujimoto.
Will he be arrested through another case?
No, headquarters might establish a new one for the Tsujimoto murder case.
What? Really?
Chief Kagami is considering it.
His method of killing is different, and more connection is needed between the two to classify it as a serial murder case.
Excuse me...
What?
Here's the list of those who purchased the same knife used for Sakagami-san's murder.
Leave it there.
Okay.
Kougami!?
What?
I'm pretty sure he has a record with drugs.
Kougami Takeshi, a member of the Dragon God Clan of the Yakuza.
You mean that Kougami is the real perpetrator to Tsujimoto's murder?
- At the very least Kougami... ah ouch! - What the heck are you doing?
At the very least, Kougami has the same knife as the murder weapon.
Maybe the drugs that Tsujimoto was trying to sell online were stolen from Kougami?
What do you mean?
After Kougami's drugs were stolen, he desperately searched for Tsujimoto.
And he saw Sakagami Keisuke who was wearing Tsujimoto's clothes somewhere.
In short, Kougami mistook Sagami Keisuke for Tsujimoto?
Yes.
But there are witnesses that Tsujimoto bumped into.
That's the problem.
I'm not liking this...
Maybe Tsujimoto reached the crime scene while chasing after Sakagami-san too.
(Internet Cafe)
Then he saw Kougami kill Sakagami-san,
and then he got scared and ran away.
Ask for the fourth division's help and get Kougami here.
Are you sure?
I'll talk to the chief myself.
- We'll change the investigation to a serial murder. - Yes sir!
Let's go!
Yes sir!
He's here.
Hey Kougami!
It's been awhile.
If it isn't Takamura-san.
Yeah.
How's everything? Huh?
Kougami Takeshi, arrested at 10:34.
Let me repeat, Kougami Takeshi, arrested at 10:34.
How awful.
Hey Kougami!
What?
Good job today.
Ah, he's here.
- Excuse me! - What?
Is this button yours?
What?
It's an original button from a tailor in Kyoto.
- Kyoto? - Yes.
- I don't know that. - Later, you idiot!
I'm done already.
Hey!
I thought that it was Tsujimoto since they were wearing the same clothes.
- Hey, drop me off here. - Yes sir.
Hey, you misled me!
But it was an old man that I've never seen before.
So you killed him?
Yeah.
- I d-don't know anything... - Found it!
Look!
- Why do you have shabu? - I don't know...
- What's this key for? - I don't know...
Aren't you hiding it somewhere?
You're with Tsujimoto, aren't you?
Hey!
Tell me!
Somebody!!
You took the drugs then, didn't you?
Then why kill Tsujimoto too?
The drugs weren't enough!
But there was a key in the jacket so I thought he hid them in a locker.
But that idiot kept saying that he didn't know about it.
Where's the key?
I threw it.
Itomura-san...
What's wrong?
I just happened to pass by...
Really?
Sign: Sakagami
The police contacted me already.
The perpetrator has been caught already, right?
Then we have nothing to do with anything.
Please listen to what we have to say.
I have something from Sakagami-san!
It's his last present for you.
He has always kept a key identical to this inside this coin purse.
Please take a look.
Look, it matches perfectly.
We investigated and found out that it was a suitcase key.
Is there a locked suitcase among the things your husband left behind?
You came here to say that?!
We have nothing to do with whatever that man left behind.
I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!
Suitcase...
Uncle and Dad sorted out Grandma's belongings on the 49th day after her death.
Mom, you remember that suitcase then, don't you?
It's the day when Dad disappeared!
He was suddenly gone after the memorial service.
Dad?
- Wait a minute! - I'll look for it!
Ikumi!
I've been wondering...
Why did Sakagami-san steal Tsujimoto's western clothes?
Well, that's because he needed money.
Um...
His workmate told me that there's no one as naive and clumsy as him.
That he was too kind.
Sakagami-san lived this seven years as if he was holding his breath.
Book - Literary World
He earned his income as a daily paid worker, and he moved around cheap hotels and net cafes.
So why would that kind of Sakagami-san take such a big risk by stealing other people's clothes?
I looked at Ikumi-san's blog again.
Then, I somehow solved that mystery...
Ikumi's blog?
Yes.
Sakagami-san regularly browsed Ikumi-san's blog.
She uploaded pictures and wrote about her everyday life.
While seeing those, the feelings of wanting to see her grew stronger.
But since he was the one who disappeared
he couldn't simply go back to his family again.
This is Ikumi-san's blog update on the day of the incident.
Upon investigation, it was only during this day
that she disclosed her whereabouts.
Wedding announcement
Today, we're having a party at Hill's Cafe De Sica.
He'll see you if he goes there.
He can also greet your future husband as the father of the bride.
I think Sakagami-san left the net cafe with those emotions.
He stole Tsujimoto's clothes because
he would stand out if he goes to the party hall with his dirty work clothes.
More importantly, he'll embarrass Ikumi-san.
Why did she start a blog?
I missed Dad too.
The detective is right.
I started a blog because I was searching for Dad.
There was one time when I saw Dad.
- Sakagami-san, let's eat! - Yeah.
That was the last time I saw him.
Ikumi, let's go.
I've been regretting it.
I wish I spoke to him then.
That's why I started a blog thinking that he'll be watching over me.
No doubt about it, the key and the model number matches.
Why now?
Who cares about this suitcase?
It's shameless for him to disappear from us, and then steal other people's clothes to try and see Ikumi...
And you! Why didn't you tell me that you saw your father then?
Secretly writing a blog!
Because you did this, your wedding was postponed and we've gotten involved in this problem!
Stop it already, Mom!
How about we try and open the suitcase first?
Is this grandma's formal kimono?
But what did Sakagami-san mean by this?
Wedding...
Through your blog, Sakagami-san found out that your wedding was near.
Then he remembered that this formal kimono was left locked away.
During the seven years that he was on the run, he never threw away that key, and he treasured it inside his coin purse.
Maybe it's because he wanted to give you that formal kimono, which he took as a memento, before your wedding day.
Mom, I understand that you can't forgive Dad.
For him to abandon his family just because he failed at work...
But Mom... I love Dad after all...
I didn't want you to declare him dead when he could be alive somewhere.
I wouldn't have cared if he wore his work clothes.
I still wanted to see him no matter how unkempt he was.
I wanted to see him and tell him about the wedding...
I wore that formal kimono on my wedding day too.
Your dad used to say...
That it would be lovely if three generations would wear that formal kimono, your grandma, me, and you.
May I ask one more question?
Have you seen this button before?
It's my husband's.
Is that so?
Sakagami-san was gripping this when he passed away.
The investigation is done so I'll return this to you.
You bought that at Kyoto, didn't you?
I guess we're canceling the wedding hall and not just postponing it.
Huh?
The church won't match this formal kimono.
I wonder if it'll be sunny tomorrow...
This is the couple's last cooperative activity.
Then this is the wife's ring?
Why is this distorted?
Aren't you curious?
Investigate what about this CD?
Youko-san doesn't have an alibi.
Yes sir!
Are you suspecting me?
This ring knows everything about this case.
Divorce ceremony? How stupid!
But after that summer, he suddenly became cheerful.
May I say something that I'm curious about?
- Do you know anything? - Of course not!
You believe Youko's words?
It's the proof of love that will never change!
Right!
I want to know everything about this ring.
