? Yes, everything, everything is your fault ?
? This world is like hell ?
? Yes, maybe everything, everything is your fault ?
? You drive me crazy, cruel woman ?
? Yes, everything, everything is your fault ?
? Take responsibility, begone from my heart ?
Begone!
I'm Arihata Shizurun. Thank you very much!
Here we go!
Bye-bye.
Of course she was killed.
Shizurun was so pure, she must've been duped...
We found the real name of this "Yuu-chan".
Tanabu Yuu. Find him!
All the keywords on the web related to Tanabu Yuu.
Please use them to find him.
And if I find this Tanabu Yuu, what do you intend to do with him?
Make him take responsibility.
- I'm declining this case. - Why?
I can't help you to commit revenge.
Don't try to act cool. You're just a detective, aren't you?!
- Please leave. - What?!
We won't come again! Hag!
Hag?!
You're just doing this job because you don't have a boyfriend, right?
From you guys, of all people?!
So what, you hag?!
- Don't catch her ugliness! - Fatty!
Ah!
- Ugly hag!!! - What's with them?!
Ugh, so annoying! Don't underestimate detectives!
Ah, sorry.
What a waste.
That would've been an easy job.
Are you telling me to accept it?
Well, didn't you say business has been slow lately?
Well, that's true but...
Besides...
You know... have you become uglier lately?
Like, you're looking drier...
- Why don't you get some moisture? - Moisture?
Yes, some moisture.
Even so...
Ugh, so persistent!
Ah, shut up, shut up!
Just go home---
- Yoriko-san! - Eh? What?
- Do you hate me? - No, no, no, not at all!
Um, there were some annoying clients earlier.
You're always welcomed, Yoriko-san!
- Then let's go to the hot spring together! - Hot spring?
It's a power spot. I heard it's amazing.
They said your wish could come true.
Ooooh!
It's more like a haunted spot rather than a power spot...?
No, this type is the most effective one.
Ah, I feel something. Eh?
Amazing! I'll take a video.
Ta-da! We've just arrived.
Welcome.
Ah, something appeared!
I'm the 8th manager of Hamanashi Inn. My name is Hamanashi Kuniko.
You are Idzuna-sama's guests, right?
- Idzuna-sama? - Yes, I'm Tamamura who made the reservation.
I'm here to see Idzuna-sama.
- Welcome. Thank you for coming. - No, no, thank you!
Giri, Idzuna-sama.
I've really been looking forward to this.
- I found information... - Wait.
Idzuna-sama loathes to have any contact with the outside world,
so please allow me to keep your mobile phones.
Ah, here you go.
- Allow me to keep it for you. - OK...
Then, let me show you the way.
Yay! Ah, we're going in!
Wow, amazing! I can really feel it! Getting closer and closer.
Amazing!
So heavy! Hey, Aika, it's so heavy!
Ah, let me carry it.
Ah! I feel lighter! Thanks for helping!
This is amazing! Feels so good, feels so good!
We have to climb this too?
Ah, as expected from Idzuna-sama. It's not that easy to meet him, huh?
- Hey, Yoriko-san. - Hm?
- Who is Idzuna-sama? - Huh?
Your friend doesn't know about Idzuna-sama?
- She seems to have forgotten about it. - No, you never told me.
Hamanashi Inn was established in the Edo Period on the site of a hot spring.
- What a long history! - Right?
And then, at one point in time,
a rumour about having another face appearing in the hot spring started to spread.
In the beginning, it was called "Idzuna".
Because in this area, "Idzuna" is the name for foxes,
it was thought that the he could turn into a fox.
But then it was also rumoured that if you meet Idzuna here, you will receive good fortune.
Since then, it started being worshipped as "Idzuna-sama".
Since then, my ancestors have been serving Idzuna-sama for generations,
Hamanashi Inn used to be extremely popular, but
the water amount has diminished since the Meiji Period.
Right now, we save up the water where Idzuna-sama appears
and we do a welcome ceremony for Idzuna-sama once a month.
You know, it's really hard to get a reservation here!
Why do we have to cross this?
It's at the other side.
I can feel the power!
- Quick, quick! - It's really swaying!
Amazing, amazing! I can feel it!
It's over there.
So much aura coming from it.
So this is the hot spring where Idzuna-sama appears.
Aaaah, we're finally here!
This main building here is where the rooms and hot spring for regular guests are located.
The special hot spring where Idzuna-sama appears is further in.
Beyond this door is the inner chamber where Idzuna-sama lives.
Looks like a very heavy door.
Idzuna-sama hates to interact with the outside world,
so the only door to the inner chamber is this one.
Idzuna-sama, I'm coming in.
- Idzuna-sama... -Idzuna-sama...
We're coming in.
Please come in.
Wow!
Please wait here until everyone arrives.
OK.
How do you do? I'm Akagawa Kazumi.
How do you do. I'm Tamamura Yoriko.
I'm Takatoku Aika.
Takatoku-san, you're not participating in the ceremony?
- Huh? - See? Your name isn't there.
What are those?
Huh? You didn't write your wish?
You're supposed to write your name on the paper the inn sent,
along with your wish, and sent it back to the inn.
They said they will burn them in the fire pit during the ceremony.
And lastly, we will drink the water from Idzuna-sama's spring,
and we enter the hot spring one by one to complete the mission.
Idzuna-sama will fulfill your wish.
That's why everyone's names are there...
Huh? Then I'm... - What a shame, huh?
- You've come all the way here. - Eh? What?!
On the other hand, not having anything to wish for is a happy life, right?
That man is quite serious, huh?
Kanayasawa Hiroshige-san.
Seems like he has family troubles.
No way.
Oi, oi, oi! Yoriko-san!
- Hanagata-san! - Who is he?
- Hanagata-san from the por-pa. - Was he there?
I'm honored that you remember me.
- Me too! - She forgot, though.
I saw your name over there and I couldn't believe it but
we must be connected, right?
Like with a red wire rope of destiny.
Hana-san, why are you here?
It's my personal time! You can tell, right? It's my personal clothes.
- Hana-chan is meeting Idzuna-sama too? - Yes.
See, I heard about this place from the girls at a bar I often go to.
I thought, it's time for me to find my life partner soon,
so I came here to make that wish, and I met you here, Yoriko-san.
- It was a Tsurumi girls' bar, right? - Tsurumi girls' bar is the best.
Fun, cheap, and filled with college girls.
- Can you stop with the vulgar talk? - What?
This is a sacred place.
You will get cursed by Idzuna-sama.
You believe in curses?
This is an era where people go to the moon--
A curse?!
Have mercy on us, have mercy on us!
Tanabu Yuu.
Oh, so this is it!
Who are you?
Ah, me? Arito Shuji. Nice to meet you.
Um, I have a bar in Maebashi.
If you want to have a good time, please visit us. I'll give you a special service.
You!
You can't talk about bars and such here.
You'll get cursed.
The next man to arrive will be Tanabu Yuu.
You're... Tanabu Yuu?
- Oh? - Kizoku-sama?!
Well, if it isn't Yoriko-san. How are you?
Amazing! My wish has already come true!
I made a wish to Idzuna-sama! To meet you once again!
I'm flattered.
- A rival appears, huh? - It's not even a competition!
- And who is this? - This is Shimokita Kanae-san.
As you can see, a wonderful young lady.
How do you do, I'm Shimokita.
How do you do. I'm Tamamura Yoriko.
The other day Kizoku-sama and I spent the whole night talking together at my villa.
Ah, not just talking though.
Yoriko-san...
What's more, did you follow me all the way here, deep into the mountains?
Why don't you use that passion to solve cases a bit more, Miss Female Detective?
I heard that you always make funny faces during cases.
We finally learned your true self.
You real name is Tanabu Yuu, right?
Ah, you're right!
Tanabu... Bu? Be? Yuu...
Eh? Masaru-san?
Nice to meet you.
Tanabu Yuu-san.
Hi, how do you do. I'm Tanabu Yuu.
Ah, I love hot springs.
I'm really looking forward to see Idzuna-sama many times today.
Nice to meet you.
Excuse me.
So...
You're not taking part in Idzuna-sama's ceremony?
I came here just to accompany Kanae-san.
I have no interest in making a wish to a wayward god.
Kizoku-sama! You'll get cursed!
Looks like everyone's here.
Then...
The two people whose names are not here please leave.
Eh, we can't stay here?
Those whose names are not here can stay in the regular rooms.
There are no other guests today, so please relax and enjoy yourself.
Just the two of us...?
Seems like it'll be an enjoyable night, right?
No, no, no, no, no!!!
Purify us, purify us.
God Idzuna, we beseech you.
Aaaaah! What a nice bath.
Is this...
Moisturizing?
Hanagata Raiyuu
Akagawa Kazumi.
Idzuna-sama, please.
God Idzuna, purify us.
God Idzuna, moisturize me.
God Idzuna, purify us.
Moisturize!
God Idzuna, purify us.
Moisturize!
Such enthusiasm!
Looks good on you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I would've never dreamed I'd be drinking together with you.
I can't let a woman with a barren heart to drink alone.
Ah, let me warn you. I've asked for separate rooms for us.
I thought you hated me.
Not at all. To love all women is the sign of impeccable manners for a nobleman.
What? Love?
Besides, there is nothing more beautiful than a woman after her bath.
Being able to admire a beautiful woman in yukata is a special priviledge for us Japanese.
Although, in your case, I'm getting a little bored of your utter incompetence as a detective.
I want to punch myself for letting my heart skip a beat there.
You have a cute fianc?e, so you should stop.
Stop making a pass at various women.
Romance is once in a lifetime encounter.
If you let it slip, you will regret it.
Ah! More importantly, do you know anything about that man just now, Tanabu Yuu?
No.
Well, in the first place, I don't try to remember men's faces.
I'm sure right now he's in fear of his life.
Why?
He might have caused the death of a woman...
That is an unforgivable sin.
Maybe something will happen.
You can't solve a case, but you can predict one, huh?
I was a fool to discuss this with you.
Where are you going?
I should at least warn him about it.
Then, can you ask Idzuna-sama something for me?
Would he allow me to take a bath together with Kanae-san?
I hope you get cursed!
Good evening. Is the ceremony for Idzuna-sama over?
Yes, without a hitch.
Then, can I go inside?
You can't. After the ceremony, the door is locked.
And no one can enter until the morning.
What if something happens inside?
The door can be unlocked from the inside,
and there is a landline in case of emergency inside.
Well then, good night.
Good morning.
Buzzer Beat!
Hana-san, what happened?
W-w-w-wait!
It's Tanabu Yuu-san. He's been murdered.
Murdered? What do we do?
- Please call the police. - Police?
Ah, I'm the police. But I'm the person who found him...
- Just hurry! - Yes!
- The phone is here. - Yes.
Your prediction came true, huh?
Miss Female Detective.
Unfortunately.
Looks like he was dragged.
Tanabu-san was hit on the head while he was in the bath.
And then he was dragged towards the changing area.
I wonder what's fun about dragging a naked man around.
What's this?
It's a curse.
He brought this in here, so Idzuna-sama laid a curse on him.
He was being dragged out of this holy spring!
Then the case is solved, right?
Looks like you don't get a turn this time, Miss Female Detective.
Purify us, purify us.
God Idzuna.
We have been stained with all kinds of evil...
Are you all right, Kanae-san?
Yes.
- Hey, is it really murder? - No doubt about it.
He was hit twice on the head.
- Who would do such a thing... - Idzuna-sama.
Cut it out! What are you saying? Nonsense...
Shut up! You'll be cursed too!
Please calm down. The police will be here soon.
Kizoku-sama, aren't you going to investigate?
That's right! Kizoku Tantei-sama is here, so we don't have to worry.
Right now, my most urgent duty as a knight is to look after Kanae-san and Yoriko-san.
I don't have time to play detective.
You just can't do anything because your servants aren't here, right?
Besides, about the current murder,
the Female Detective over there had already predicted it.
- She will be more suitable. - What does he mean?
It started with a blog called "Arihata Shizurun's Room".
The site owner is Arihata Shizuru, an underground idol who posted her journal and photos there.
She had many fans who looked up to her as a goddess.
Around 4 months ago, Shizuru-san started seeing someone named "Yuu-chan".
Their relationship was mentioned on her blog.
Yuu-chan? Dating? Shizurun!!!
But after that, their relationship deteriorated, and
Shizuru-san started writing about her unhappiness in her blog.
And then about one month ago, they broke up.
In her final blog entry, this is what she wrote:
"Goodbye, Yuu-chan".
The next day, her death was reported in the newspapers.
She had committed suicide.
Her passionate fans couldn't forgive the man called "Yuu-chan" who drove her to her death, and they started investigating him.
That's how they found out his real name is Tanabu Yuu.
And that man is this Tanabu Yuu-san?
That's why I had a bad feeling about him.
I thought, if one of Arihata Shuzuru's fans found out here he was, they might come here.
It's really an effort to come all the way deep into the mountains to kill someone, huh?
Oh, you're all here?
Um, where's the police?
They will take a while.
Eh? What happened?
I was so surprised. The wire bridge is *craaash*!
The wire bridge is crash?
There was a wire bridge to get here, right?
The rope broke, so we can't cross to the other side.
- What? - Can it be fixed?
The problem is the cut is on this side, so they can't fix it from the other side.
I don't understand at all.
The rope broke on this side,
so the wire bridge fell down to the slope on the other side.
That's why we can't fix it on this side unless we raise it up.
I see.
Any other way out?
Only by walking through the rocky cliffs to the north.
It takes one entire day.
What...? So you mean we are trapped here?
That means Kanae-san and I can spend valuable time together, right?
With me, too!
How could you say that?!
But how did the bridge break at a time like this?
Hmmm... Maybe the killer broke it?
If someone deliberately cut the bridge's rope,
looking at the condition of the fallen bridge,
the person who did it will still be on this side.
What?
Then... the person is among us?
What do we do?
Kazumi-san, is it? Please don't worry.
We have a police officer and a female detective here.
First, let's entrust this matter to them.
You're really just a self-proclaimed detective who leaves everything to other people, huh?
You don't have time to bask in your feeling of superiority.
If your suspicion is true,
then the killer is a fanatic who is blinded by love.
You won't know what makes him switch. You should hurry.
You don't have to tell me that.
I will investigate this.
Well then, the ladies can join me for a bath.
- Yes! - You can't!
The bridge isn't fixed yet?
The fire department came, but it has to be fixed and raised from your side.
Fix it quickly!
The Ki Team name is at stake here!
Ki Team has nothing to do with the bridge, right?
You're going to tell Kizoku-sama everything you know, right?
Ah, that's Izumi-san's job.
I'm just the forensics!
If Kizoku-sama is happy, our promotion will come faster too!
The Niigata police heard that loud and clear.
Sorry, that was just a joke.
Oi, oi, oi, oi. Tell me earlier!
- Ah! - You surprised me! What is it?
- This. - Huh?
You can see the words...
Haneda Hatsu-san? A phone number?
No! It's a flight departure time.
Oh, Haneda airport, huh?
This handwriting...
Oh? What is it?
- Hana-san. - Hm?
This is Tanabu Yuu-san's handwriting.
He was on the phone before he died?
Please have someone check the records.
Got it.
Hey, Tsunemi, check the phone records from this place.
Gotcha.
"Gotcha"? You should say, "I understand", right?
Why are you barking?
Hm?
It seems they used a little bit of goat milk but
the shop owner obstinately refused to let me know.
Next time, let's go together so we can figure out the recipe.
I look forward to it.
Your phone number.
He can still seduce women at a time like this, huh?
He's flirting with other women even though Yoriko-san is here!
Oh, Miss Female Detective. Would you like a teabreak?
Spiegel brought it.
Shuppy-sama?
Oh, Shuppy-sama! Good boy! Good boy!
Good boy!
As expected from Shuppy-sama, running through the mountains!
Huh? Is there something inside?
Can I open this?
I'm already opening it.
Huh? What's this?
I have organized the case information as usual. Please take a look at it.
Is this from Tanaka-san?
Here.
Hana!
Good afternoon. I'm Tanaka.
With all due respect, I have organized the information about this case.
This is like Toshin High School (cram school).
Then when are you going to organize? Now, right?
It's not now anymore!
First, about the suspects.
The only door to Hamanashi Inn's inner chamber was locked
by the innkeeper, Hamanashi Kuniko, and could only be opened from the inside.
In other words...
It's a locked room mystery.
And so we can limit the suspects to
the innkeeper who has the key, and people in there: Tamamura Yoriko-sama,
Arito Shuji-sama, Kanayasawa Hiroshige-sama,
Akagawa Kazumi-sama, Shimokita Kanae-sama,
and then, last of last, Hanagata Raiyuu-sama.
- I'm a suspect too?! - Of course.
The people participating went into Idzuna-sama's hot spring one after another.
The victim, Tanabu Yuu-sama, was the last to enter at 12 AM.
His slot was between 12 AM when Takatoku-sama saw him and 2 AM.
Which means the murder happened then too.
Finally, the alibis.
At the time of murder between 12 and 2 AM, everyone was in the same room,
talking enjoyably with Hanagata-sama as the focus.
I was so happy to see Yoriko-san again so...
Which means they could all be each other's alibi.
But between 12 and 12.30 AM,
Arito Shuji-sama and Akagawa Kazumi-sama
left the room to go to the toilet.
At this point, these two people are the most probable suspects.
That's all from me. Farewell.
It wasn't me.... How could I...
Then... there's only Arito Shuji left, right?
If you don't hurry, I will solve it before you do.
You obviously can't do that. Your servants aren't here.
If we are not out of here by this evening, I will tell my servants.
I've made a promise with a certain lady.
Going on a date again?
Well, well, you won't make it. Unfortunate, huh?
Detective! Detective! This is bad!
What is it?
Our wallets have been stolen!
I've been had...
Yukichi, Ichiyo, Hideyo have been kidnapped!
Note: Faces on 10,000, 5,000, 1,000 yen notes.
The women's wallets are gone too.
- I can see it. See-every. -See-every?
- See everything. - Oh.
The killer is a thief! A thief!
Before the innkeeper closed the door,
the thief sneaked in here and hid himself.
Then when everyone wasn't here,
he stole our money, and when he went into the bath, Tanabu Yuu found him out.
They fought, and he killed him.
Then there's no reason why the body was dragged towards the changing area.
Hm! Who cares about Arihata Shizuru!
I don't care, just give me back my money!
Why do I have to?
The police called.
They've checked the phone records from this place.
What time did the call happen?
Last night between 12:13 AM until 12:30 AM.
Which means, at that time, Tanabu Yuu was on the phone.
He was still alive until 12:30 AM.
So we can narrow the time of murder further
to between 12:30 AM and 2 AM.
Oi, oi, oi. Wait.
If the murder happened 30 minutes after midnight,
then Akagawa Kazumi and Arito Shuji have alibis now.
Hm? Is this Tanabu Yuu's bag?
Yes. Oi, oi!
What is it?
Please gather everyone.
I know who the killer is.
There are no meddling officials today, so the stage is all yours.
I expect much from you, Miss Female Detective.
First, what I'm interested in is why Tanabu Yuu-san could be hit on the head without any sign of struggle.
I think this is because Tanabu Yuu-san didn't feel it was odd when the killer appeared at the bath.
The killer came saying something like, "I forgot something" and he wouldn't be suspicious.
This is how he was killed.
But this limits the killer to being another man.
Because I think it would've been strange if it were a woman he just met that day entered the bath.
Which means the killer is a man?
Oi, oi, that includes me?
Hanagata-san and Kanayasawa-san have alibis between 12 and 2 AM.
- Safe. - Which means...
Me? No, no! Wait a minute!
It's true that Arito-san didn't have an alibi between 12 and 12.30 AM.
But actually we know that Tanabu-san was on the phone at that time.
So Tanabu-san was killed after 12.30 AM.
Arito-san has an alibi for that time.
Huh? Then the suspects...
Ah, there's no more!
That was just about the people in the inner chamber.
None of the people outside that room has an alibi.
What do you mean?
The inner chamber is a closed room with a locked thick door.
But you have the key.
You can enter easily.
Isn't that right?
Miss Inkeeper.
Why would I do that?
It's all for Idzuna-sama's sake.
For Idzuna-sama?
This is Tanabu Yuu-san's notebook.
He was a hot spring enthusiast.
He had carefully researched the minerals, pH level, smell and flavour of Idzuna-sama's hot spring.
But during the ceremony,
when Tanabu Yuu-san drank the hot spring water, he must've realized it, right?
That it was fake.
Fake?
And so he blackmailed the innkeeper about it.
Is that something to blackmail with?
He would've needed whatever money he could get
to survive being on the run for his own life.
Surely he thought it would be good to earn just a bit of money from the innkeeper?
Idzuna-sama's spring isn't dry!
For you, what he did was unforgivable, right?
As Idzuna-sama's protector for 8 generations,
there was no way she could let the world know the spring has dried up.
That's why she hurriedly destroyed the bridge, to stop the information from spreading.
And then Tanabu-san was...
I would never do that in the holy spring!
Exactly. The innkeeper couldn't have entered the bath without arousing suspicion,
that's what you yourself has said earlier, right?
Yes, that's right.
That's why, this is the only reason why:
the murder didn't happen at the bath.
The inner chamber could be opened from the inside.
Slightly after 12.30 AM,
after finishing the phone call, Tanabu Yuu-san went outside.
In order to blackmail the innkeeper, whom he had called earlier.
But the innkeeper was ready, and she killed him instead.
After everyone was sound asleep, the innkeeper took his body back to the inner chamber.
In order to stage that the murder happened at the bath.
But this is where something unexpected happened.
Because of rigor mortis, the body was upright.
It was in an unnatural posture, and no one would believe he was in the bath.
She had no choice but to make it seem he was dragged towards the changing room.
So people could say that he was cursed by Idzuna-sama and was dragged out of the holy spring.
This is the answer to the mystery why the body was dragged away.
In some ways, this is probably a real curse from Idzuna-sama.
Your entire life is tied to Idzuna-sama, so you had to do this.
What are you saying?
Idzuna-sama is truly here.
He is protecting me from within this chamber.
Idzuna-sama! Idzuna-sama!
- You finally did it! - Yes!
Miss Innkeeper, tell me the rest.
I didn't do it.
Right, Kizoku-sama?
Kizoku-sama...?!
Yes.
Last night, the innkeeper was drinking with me at the lobby from 12 to 2 AM.
- What? - She has a perfect alibi.
- Even the innkeeper?! - Not fair!
Tanabu-sama merely asked me about the composition of the hot spring.
Then who killed Tanabu-san?!
There aren't any more suspects!
That dull mind of yours.
I really think you must've been cursed.
Don't act all high-and-mighty when you haven't even done anything!
So who is the killer?!
Tell us your deductions!
Then allow me to tell you...
the truth about this case.
Is it all right?
You don't have your servants today!
Finally we'll hear your deductions.
Yes. I will let you hear my deductions.
I'll leave it to you.
Yes, my lord.
How did you...
I am his lordship's chaffeur.
Which means, I am his legs. I'll go anywhere he needs me to go.
But... how?
I ran for 4 hours across the rocky cliffs on the north side.
4 hours?!
After that, Satou-san lifted the rope bridge from this side and fixed it.
Seriously?!
After the bridge was fixed, Tanaka-san and I came here.
It was so awesome. Seriously!
- Great fight! - You guys!
Move aside! Um! You were amazing!
You're too close!
What's with that romantic maiden mode?!
It took you a while.
I'm very sorry about that.
In the middle of running, I heard the trees rustling,
I found myself listening carefully.
Enjoying nature with all your senses. It's the pleasure of a trail runner, right?
Yes.
Even when a real trail runner is struggling,
he is still filled with imagination and courage to enjoy his surroundings, right?
I agree.
I was able to get to a whole new level while I was running through the harsh terrain.
So? What did the mountains tell you?
Can you do this later?
Very well.
I can't let the lady wait, either.
- Satou. - Yes.
Then, with all due respect, I will say the deductions for this case.
Wait, wait!
Satou-san was running through the mountain, you know.
Isn't there someone else who should be telling us the deductions?
- Is there? - I see no one else.
You! There's only you!
It seems you have completely misunderstood what a nobleman is.
Troublesome matters like deductions can simply be entrusted to the servants.
You use them too much!
Well then, everyone, please proceed to the tent outside.
I've also prepared tea.
The tent is already up?!
As expected there is nothing that can surpass the fresh tea Tanaka makes.
- I'm unworthy of your praise. - When did this...?
We would like the thank the 8th-generation owner, Hamanashi Kuniko-sama, for allowing his lordship's
drawing room to be erected within the grounds of the historical Hamanashi Inn.
And to the blessed Idzuna-sama...
Yamamoto.
Yes.
Mistress Hamanashi is a generous personage.
I understand your feelings, but there's no need to be concerned.
Pardon me.
- Satou, begin. - Yes.
The origins of today's case is, as Takatoku-sama has said,
is that Tanabu Yuu-sama was targeted because of Arihata Shizuru-sama's fan's thirst for revenge.
Oh, so that was correct.
You're just overthinking it!
So why was the body dragged towards the changing room?
It's true that why the body was dragged is the biggest mystery of all.
But if we see it as a man who was operating under a distorted sense of love, then we wouldn't be surprised.
- Yamamoto-san, the video. - Yes.
Again, when did they film this?!
Oh! Attack on Titans.
I think the killer's plan was a sloppy one.
He didn't plan to conceal his crime in any way,
his only goal was to kill his hated enemy, Tanabu Yuu-sama.
But the killer found his victim's smartphone at the changing area.
He thought, maybe there were precious offshot photos of
his goddess inside that had never been uploaded online.
The killer, being an obsessed fan of Arihata Shizuru-sama,
decided to check the phone without even thinking twice.
But it was locked.
He immediately returned to the body that was still in the water.
So he could unlock the phone using his fingerprints.
But an error message appeared.
- Why? - Because the fingers had swelled up.
What...?
Because of that?
Yes.
Ah, is that Satochin?
The killer really wanted to see the offshot photos, no matter what.
He dragged the body towards the changing area.
And then he dried the swollen fingers using the hairdryer.
This is how the killer finally managed to unlock the phone.
That's the truth why the body was dragged...
When a fool is the murderer, sometimes he might also foolishly hide the truth.
- Satou. - Yes.
- The stagehand stood out too much. - I'll be careful.
With all due respect, my lord, that wasn't Satou-san's responsibility.
- It was all my fault-- - Tanaka-san.
I'm being too forward.
Eh? What's this? A show of friendly support?
Wait. This deduction is strange.
If the killer was Arihata Shizuru's fan,
he would've just taken the phone with the photos away.
- But it's still there. - Exactly as you said.
But that phone doesn't have a single photo of Arihata Shizuru-sama.
Why? They were lovers!
Takatoku-sama and all of you are very mistaken about something.
Mistaken?
Takatoku-sama thinks the victim is Tanabu Yuu-sama.
But actually the victim is...
Akagawa Kazumi-sama.
Tanabu Yuu-sama and Akagawa Kazumi-sama over there
exchanged their names.
Which means,
the real name of the woman with the short hair over there
is Tanabu Yuu-sama. And the murdered man's real name is Akagawa Kazumi-sama.
Um... I don't understand you at all.
It all started with Arihata Shizuru-sama's suicide.
Seeing her fans' thirst for revenge, she became scared.
The short-haired woman, Tanabu Yuu-sama,
thought of asking Idzuna-sama for help.
But it was risky to expose her name.
Then she came up with an idea.
To create a substitute by exchanging names?
Yes. She asked the help of a male friend with a female-sounding name, Akagawa Kazumi-sama.
Oi, oi, oi, oi.
Then Arihata Shizuru's lover, Tanabu Yuu... is this person?
It's a same-gender relationship, isn't it?
That's right.
It happens, right?
What do you mean, Yoriko-san...?
But everyone mistakenly thought her lover was a man,
When you saw a man named Tanabu Yuu-sama, you thought it was the same person.
And the killer made the same mistake and killed the wrong person.
Please wait. This is all just your own imagination, right, Satou-san?
Indeed this is all my imagination.
But if we think this way, then the reason behind the stolen wallets become clear too.
This morning, when she found out her double had been killed,
the real Tanabu Yuu-sama would've been terrified.
What's more, the road was blocked and the killer remained under the same roof.
If her real name was found out, she could've been killed too.
Feeling threatened, Tanabu-sama tried to hide her real name
by stealing everyone's wallets.
Yes. She wasn't after the money, just the identity cards.
Then I'm gonna get my money back? Yes!
Ah, excuse me.
Is it really as Satou-san said?
Akagawa-kun was a hot spring enthusiast.
When he heard about my problem, he agreed to my plan happily.
So we wrote my own names on the plate, but we exchanged our names here.
But then this happened...
They really switched places, huh? Right?
Hey, you've been knocked out looking weird again.
Exactly like a dried-up Goliath frog, right?
Ribbit, ribbit.
What do you think?
Are you enjoying this, Kanae-san?
Yes...
Then who is the killer? Everyone here has an alibi.
No, no. If they had switched, then the time of murder would be different too.
The notepad beside the phone
has the same handwriting as Tanabu Yuu-sama
which means the person who wrote it was the short-haired woman,
the real Tanabu Yuu-sama.
Which means the time of murder was between 12 and 12:30 AM.
Which means the ones who could have done it are
the short-haired woman and Arito Shuji-sama.
The short-haired woman had no reason to kill her own double,
so the killer must be Arito Shuji-sama.
Here comes the name!
A sudden appearance. The truth is like that, right?
You are the killer, right?
You...
You killed Shizurun!
- Hanagata-sama. - Yes.
Well then... I shall arrest the murderer in this case!
Are you hurt?
The truth is... I didn't hate her.
We had a small fight,
and I just suddenly said let's break up.
But I really didn't think Shizuru would've killed herself.
Arihata Shizuru-san must have really loved you.
You're making fun of me, right? Because we were both women!
Who would laugh at someone's love for another person?
The fact that you are unharmed
should allow Shizuru-san to rest in peace right now.
Huh? But who cut the bridge off?
Surely it must've been...
Idzuna-sama, right?
This way, please.
It was Kanae-san, right? The one who cut off the bridge.
What are you saying?
Kanae-san wanted to be with you longer,
so she sneaked out of the inner chamber in the middle of the night, and cut the bridge off.
She never would've imagined a murder to happen.
Idzuna-sama sealed that bridge so the killer wouldn't escape.
Isn't that good enough?
Please show me your notepad.
You asked Akagawa Kazumi-san to write her number on it, right?
Is that when you realized her handwriting was the same as Tanabu Yuu-san's?
I was just trying to seduce her.
You had already realized the truth.
That's why you stayed close to her. So you could protect her.
Am I just over-imagining it?
It is the duty of a nobleman to make women happy.
Who are you really?
And why were you here in the first place?
What are you doing?
Seems like it wasn't enough.
Moisture.
Ugh!
Giri, Goliath frog.
I found this information about Goliath frog on the web.
What?! This???
Eh? Where? Where?
Show me, show me! Ugh, yuck! Seriously?!
And a dried-up one?! Isn't it mean to say I lack moisture?!
Who's that?
I'm sorry!
Isn't your neighbour scary...?
Huh... Aika, surprisingly you're like that, huh?
Ah, sorry.
It's OK. I like you better like this.
When you're drunk, you're kinda like Kiriko-san, huh?
When Kiriko-san drank with Papa that time,
she was so drunk!
Oh yes! Your father knows Kizoku Tantei, right?
Yes. He would exchanged greetings when he met him at parties.
Ah! What's this? Aika in high school? How young!
Ah! I'm sorry, Aika!
- I picked it up without asking. - It's OK, it's OK.
Sorry!
Do you know anything about him?
Hm? Why?
Could it be... you're in love with Kizoku-sama?
No way!
There's a saying: "To defeat your enemy, you must know your enemy first", right?
- Really? - Yes!
Besides, he never told us his name. Isn't that rude?
Well, Papa doesn't even know that.
Seems like people from our level don't have access to his level.
What? If Tamamura Group's leader doesn't have it, then who does?
Hm... Let's see...
Grandpa Takasuke might know.
- Grandpa Takasuke? - Sakuragawa Takasuke.
The head of the main branch of my mother's family.
The family used to be an Earl or something like that in the House of Lords.
- Something like that? - Sounds like a great man.
Oh yes! I've promised him I'd visit him.
Want to come?
Maybe he knows something about Kizoku-sama.
- Yes, I'll go! - OK!
I'll expose his true identity!
