Ujigami Temple's Male Attempted Murder Case
April 11, 2004,
inside Kyoto Ujigami Temple's perimeter,
a Keihan Newspaper reporter, Omiya Toshiro, was assaulted.
He suffered many injuries in his whole body and was found unconscious.
Inside the same perimeter,
Takuma Yoshito, a public relation officer
of Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, was also found unconscious.
He had a spanner with his own fingerprints.
From that spanner, Omiya Toshiro's bloodstain and hair were also detected.
Kyoto Prefectural Police's First Division Investigation arrested Takuma with attempted murder charge.
In his trial, Takuma the suspect,
received 15 years imprisonment in Shiga Chuo Prison.
While he was in prison,
he met all kinds of criminals, he learned about their criminal acts, modus operandi,
motives, and their psychology, and put them into his mind.
His prison's chief even recognized him.
Meanwhile…
10 years later, Omiya Toshiro the victim, regained consciousness.
He confirmed that the case was a false accusation.
Chief Takakura was troubled by Takuma's incident.
He reinstated Takuma as a detective in Kyoto Prefectural Headquarters.
Because Takuma has gained full knowledge about every criminal data from the prison,
he became a super heretical detective.
Special Force Investigator Takuma Yoshito
These are the special force's members, in which Takumas was assigned.
Special Force Investigator Horikawa Kohei
Special Force Investigator Matsubara Yuiko
All members have their own quirkiness and bad habit.
Special Force Chief Investigator Inokuma Sachio
Among them, there is a woman whose name is Anekoji Chinami.
Special Force Investigator Senior Staff Anekoji Chinami
She has a strong resentment against criminals, which is actually good, but her effort is useless.
12 years ago her beloved husband was killed in the line of duty.
That case appears to be connected with Takuma's false accusation.
It has the same smell.
I'm positive that the same person wrote them.
Wait.. wait.. wait a second...
We are about to see the truth behind the case.
Hey! What are you doing?
Huh?
Why are you all here?
This is not a show!
Help me...
Listen.
Please, put the knife down calmly.
You still have time now.
Please release the hostage,
and surrender.
Chief
That man is a security company's employee, Kato Shiro.
The hostage is his wife, Yoshiko.
In worst case scenario,
SAT will dispatch.
What does he want?
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Those guys...
Hey, don't come here! - Chief!
Three of us are from the special force.
We have arrived to the crime scene.
Why are you coming here?
I don't remember asking you to come.
I'm sorry to say, but
this is Headquarters Chief's order.
Should they go to the hostage crime scene?
The special investigation force has received harsh criticism lately.
See,
was it established solely for Takuma kun?
Seems like this matter was exposed.
The number of investigators arrived has increased.
I think they are from the Special Investigation Force.
Since the perpetrator started taking a hostage...
Chief, we will do anything, like negotiation or breaking inside.
It can't be helped, because it's an order from Headquarters Chief.
I'll give you something important to do.
KYT 480?
Because of the hostage incident, the roads around Kyoto Tower has been blocked.
The idol's numbers are huge lately.
The vicinity's traffic has been affected too.
Hey! What's going on here?
I'm sorry. This road is closed.
Please turn around.
Excuse me.
We are closing the road.
Please turn around this way.
Understood.
I'm sorry.
Nobody wants to do this but us.
Anyway, why is Takuma not coming?
I have called him from a while ago.
Where are you now? I'm busy. Busy? We have work to do. Are you really not coming? I will go if I could. Where are you? Still not coming? I'm going to go now.
Geez...
Hey!
Enough already, or we will expel you from our boarding house!
You're mixing up official business and personal matters.
Where are you and what are you doing?
Hurry and come to the scene!
You haven't solved it yet.
Hey! Why are you here?
The criminal hasn't given his demand.
We're having a deadlock.
Hey!
I'll tell you about Mi kun. There was a join case that I handled in my hometown.
There was a robber-murderer in Mi kun apartment's neighborhood.
When the policemen came for questioning,
The situation was too suspicious.
When they searched around his room, there were so many stolen underwear.
He was arrested.
Look here...
I'm busy here.
I won't listen to that underwear stupid thief's story!
Even if Mi kun is the robber-murderer?
What?
Mi kun asked his friends,
to steal underwear from a place, that's very far from the robbery murder case.
What for?
Alibi.
If he can proof that he stole underwear at the same time with the other crime,
it'd be impossible that he is the robber-murder.
Mi kun is a stupid piety thief, isn't he?
Say,
do you really have to tell me that story now?
He committed a piety crime on purpose in order to conceal a big one.
I think that's a good example.
Eh?
Because our usual route is blocked, we change our transport route.
Hey, where are they stopping?
Excuse me!
What's wrong?
Give me the trunk's key.
Hurry up!
Please help...
Hurry and get going!
Stop!
Hold it right there!
Argh! She's a police!
Hi, we're the police.
Wanna run away?
Damn you...
That's a toy, right?
He's secured!
If your mother sees you now, she must be sad!
Chief, Chief..
You should read this.
Three men from Pony Express has been arrested.
The drama has ended.
That's a lie!
Seriously?
Stupid!
Didn't I tell you that this plan won't work?
What should I do now?
They're secured!
Ah.. that.. that...
Anekoji!
Explain it to me!
That was...
If you look at that husband and wife, you should have known it.
They caused such a huge commotion but didn't make any demand.
He kept on looking at his watch. He was worried about the time.
The wife knew that many people would see her from below, so she wore short legging.
If this hostage were a lie, their aim must be this neighborhood's road block.
Their purpose is to corner a money transport vehicle and attack it.
There are many ATM around this area.
On the weekend before payday, it's highly likely that a large sum money will be transported.
The hostage taker is a former guardsman from a security company.
What a crap!
I don't care if their purpose is robbery,
but after causing such commotion like this, they will surely be arrested.
That man has never said that he will kill her.
He never pointed his knife at his wife.
That toy won't fall under Swords and Firearms Control Law.
After he's released, he will share the robbed money with his friends equally.
Wonderful! Wonderful!
How can you know all of that even though you didn't come to the scene?
I knew it,
because I was in prison for 10 years.
A detective has to move his feet.
There are 100 crime scenes!
If you don't go to the crime scene, it's 100 year too early for you to resolve the case!
It's just a robbery, right? This is not a special case for me.
Just come.
You've worked hard.
Was he murdered to clean up a money extortion?
Yes.
The injury at the back of his head is terrible. Was he beaten to death? -Yes.
The bat with his coagulated bloodstain has been left here.
The victim is Kubota Amane, 47 years old,
a company manager.
Estimation time of death is last night 10 - 12 pm.
Why was he here at that time?
He walked his dog.
Also...
the only things that disappeared from his wallet is his money.
It means, while he was walking his dog, he was assaulted by a robber,
then he was killed because he fought back.
boo boo...
Incorrect! Out! Totally not good! Zero point!
What a complete denial.
It's you again!
I didn't call Special Investigation Force.. - Is this not a robbery-murder case?
Right. I spoke with Yukki, who was with me on a paddy wagon.
Yukki is a molester and pretended to handed out tissue in downtown
to look for women that he likes.
What is it this time?
When he found one, he hurriedly wore his suit and followed her going house.
Why did he wear a suit? - He even used a fake real estate appraisal's business card.
So when he walked around her house
and questioned by the police,
he could escaped by arguing that he's looking for a property.
Pin pon! Correct! Save! Perfect! 100 points!
What's the relation between that molester and this case?
Ah.. wait... that's evidence..
If someone goes out at night and carries a bat,
he'd raise suspicious and will be reported, right?
To prevent that, first, he could pretend practicing baseball.
There, there, there.
Hey..
There, there.
There, there..
There...
Then this is
not a casual crime,
but a premeditated crime, where he intended to ambush the victim?
There is a picture of a man in costume and bat on the board.
He thoughtfully wore spike shoes.
Hey you, move!
Go over there!
Don't damage the evidence!
Go! Go!
Forensic!
Of course, taking his money out from his wallet is a camouflage.
I take back my previous statement.
This is probably the case that I have to solve.
What?
Is that an old toy?
This is not just a toy.
Because I made this.
What?
Shuriken?
I don't want to come to this place!
Oh, Tak kun!
How are you
Do you recognize this?
Yes?
What is this?
Kyoppi's counterfeit?
It's Kyoto Prefecture Police mascot's predecessor.
Wrong. This is Kyoto man.
It's Kyoppi's little brother. I made this.
Ah, is that so?
You were PR officer who's in charged of Kyoppi before entering the prison.
You made this and you don't remember?
I made a lot of things for some events.
I think I have the same figurine somewhere...
Where could it be...
Again?
Geez...
It's always like this.
More more more!
You must work with a good will, you know! Good will!
Here!
Thank you!
This is the newest picking tool.
This pasrt was installed too.
It's bright!
This is cool, Zeni chan.
Oh! It's here! Here!
Right! This is the one!
Hm?
We're introducing Kyoto-man and friends,
to protect Kyoto Prefecture's safety.
It was created for grade schoolers 14-15 years ago.
This is that pamphlet's companion.
This brings back memory.
Eh..
Is this the same with that?
Don't you think it's strange?
Indeed.
Why did you make these? I don't get it.
That's not what I mean.
These seven figurines are connected as one.
You can't take one out.
It was really difficult.
Yes, Anekoji speaking.
Takuma told me to check on the victim.
What?
I see. I got it. Thank you.
Hey..
The victim, Kubota Amane,
managed a temp agency, but..
He's a former prosecutor. Am I wrong?
Did you know that
he was Kyoto Prefecture Dept. Chief?
This guy told us about it.
The mark at his back is not a crossed shuriken.
That's severity.
That's prosecutor badge's mark.
Each of 7 Kyoto Men has different job.
This guy is Prosecutor Kyoto Man.
Then..
a prosecutor figurine was left
at an ex prosecutor's murder scene?
If the criminal put this guy there on purpose,
there must be a certain meaning behind it.
Hey, let's go! Hurry!
Go! Go! Hurry!
Ah, wait.. Zeni chan, can you send it with express post?
What... a letter? - Sorry.
I brought it but couldn't post it.
Hey, hurry up! - Please take care of that, Zeni chan.
I'm going!
We have to report it to the First Division!
You go there by yourself.
Why?
I told you that is a case, that I have to solve.
I won't let anyone bother me.
To bother you?
You're noisy and hot-tempered.
You're not suitable with my sense.
What is that...
The main point is, who can follow your twisted sense?
To be honest, I'm tired being your partner.
Me too!
I don't want to be your partner anymore!
What is he saying...
That's my line!
How was it?
When we questioned people in the temp agency he managed,
we found that his agency wasn't in trouble.
I see.
We asked his neighbors and his family is in harmony.
But the person, who's sitting over there, is not satisfied.
So have I disturbed your job?
It's better to leave her alone for now.
I found it.
Lt. Anekoji Takehiko's murder case.
So they really are connected to each other.
This is too dangerous.
Anekoji Akane Chinami Namihiko
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Oh, are you alone?
Are you not with Takuma?
I'm not working to protect him or whatsoever.
You were the one who solved this case, weren't you?
To be precise, I was not the one who solved it.
Can it be... Takuma san?
Isn't he really cool?
Please tell me more details about this case.
No way! You better go upstair and start learning.
You're mean.
Why is she interested in that case?
It's because
that girl is your and Takehiko's daughter.
What?
When Takehiko was still alive
didn't he gently tell her and answer her questions about the case?
Oh, that's great. Those are your dad's friends.
Cool.
You're right.
That was...
I understand.
Because Takehiko died like that,
you don't want to talk about police affairs in this house.
Mother...
But
like father like daughter.
She's your and Takehiko's daughter,
who are both policemen.
It's only natural that she
is interested in police work.
Don't you think so?
Great. We'll have a good weather tomorrow.
What is this?
These are materials and articles about cases
that were related to your dad's jurisdiction.
But I don't think
there isn't anything bombastic
in his jurisdiction.
Oh
This one is torn away.
What?
Why?
Eh?
I'm going.
What a great weather.
You're really bad at following people,
Anekoji san.
Didn't I tell you that our partnering has been cancelled?
If I think about it calmly,
I think there must be something hidden behind this.
To begin with, I'm not that noisy.
and not hot-tempered either.
You have no self-awareness and also unforgiving.
Last night
I found this
from his scrapbook.
So it's connected again.
What do you mean by connected?
Please tell me.
I give up...
Do you remember Sagami Wakahiro?
Sagami...
Do you mean that weird bastard who elaborated to plan a crime?
His nickname is Scriptwriter.
Sagami has told me,
"Anekoji san husband's case and your false accusation case are
connected to each other."
That case began in October 12 years ago.
There was a robber-murderer in Higashiyama ku.
At the beginning
it was a simple robber-murderer.
From the lost articles and eyewitness' testimony
it was immediately concluded,
that a criminal lived near that area.
His name is Okazaki Kazuma
He was wanted for questioning.
And then
October 12, inside a parking lot in Higashi ku,
a male passerby found a police in uniform collapsed with bleeding from his abdomen.
Then he called 119.
The victim was Nishioji Station Chief, Anekoji Takehiko.
He was rushed to the hospital,
but died 50 minutes later.
A knife was found at the stabbing location,
along with Okazaki's fingerprints and Lt. Anekoji's bloodstain.
The robbery murder suspect is on the run and killed a cop Right after that he was hit by a truck and died.
Judging from the situation, Lt. Anekoji, who was on patrol,
found Okazaki who was on the run.
Okazaki stabbed him with a knife during questioning then ran away.
He was hit by a truck near the area and died.
die
Among them, there's something that was judged as unrelated to the crime.
This lost article was sticked to the column.
It's a Kyoto Man that wears the same uniform with your husband.
What do you mean?
Someone put a Kyoto Man that wears the same uniform with your husband
at the location where your husband was stabbed 12 years ago.
And then at the former Prosecutor Kubota's murder scene
someone left a Prosecutor Kyoto Man.
The crimes that spanned over 12 years,
the criminal has left something on the scene.
They are my creations, the Kyoto Men.
They're perfectly connected to each other.
But the stabber was the deceased suspect, Okazaki Kazuma, right?
He was handed over to the Kyoto Police as a dead suspect.
Don't you think it's weird?
This parking lot is at the end of the road.
Nobody but the cars owners would come here.
Okazaki, the wanted escapee,
didn't have car or driver license.
Huh?
The eyewitness didn't see the stabbing.
The only eyewitness is Okazaki and he's dead.
Nobody knows what really happened here 12 years ago.
That's including who has put this Kyoto Man here.
Then why are you keeping distance from me?
Because...
if the criminal is really dead,
I don't think can maintain your composure.
If the criminal is still alive,
I don't think you can maintain your composure either.
I don't know the danger we will have to face in the future,
so I can't get you involved in this case.
Don't underestimate me.
This might be your special case,
but this is also my case.
If by any chances
the real criminal is still around,
I will definitely find him.
It's for his sake,
and also for Akane.
Are you reinvestigating a case from the past?
This current and past cases are connected to each other.
So they must be connected with other cases, esp. murders, right?
How could you know there are other cases?
Because there are still 5 other figurines.
How should we investigate them?
We search these items among the criminal cases' photos.
It's easy to investigate them,
but all murder cases are handled by First Division.
How do we get in... - As long as I have this, it'll be alright.
We will become trespassing accomplices too.
Anekoji kun, are you fine with this?
Of course.
Please,
I also ask for your cooperation.
First Division's Material Storage
Do not enter!
kettle washing is dangerous
I found it.
It's a case from 13 years ago.
Falling from a bridge?
I found one too! - Shhhhtttt!!!!
Hit-and-run accident.
Show it to me.
November 13 years ago,
Kyoto shi, Sakyou ku, Kamogawa's upper stream,
bellow the bridge's construction,
Nagashima Kenji was found dead after falling from the bridge.
There were traces that he was pushed
and it was ruled as homicide,
but the suspect was never found.
On the bridge's guardrail there was...
In October 10 years ago,
on Minami ku's national highway,
there was a hit-and-run accident. The victim is Sugiyama Akiomi, 55 years old.
The criminal hasn't been found.
What was the victim's profession?
The victim of death by falling, Nakajima Kiichi was a prison guard at Kyoto Rakusai Prison
This can't be true...
Hit-and-run victim, Sugiyama Akiomi, was Kyoto District Court's judge.
It can't be...
The victims had the same occupations with the Kyoto Man left at the crime scenes.
Who did these and what for?
Geez...
In the end, you brought them out.
This is bad. I can't find their similarities.
How can these be a serial murder case?
Indeed, there isn't any commonness between these three cases
and current case's victims ages and birthplaces.
Their modus operandi and crimes' locations are not connected.
There are commonness.
This is their common feature.
"Justice's Kyoto Man Seven protect Kyoto"
7 occupations related to administration of justice
that protect Kyoto citizens were picked up.
Please help me.
Ring ring run Kyoto Man Bay...
It's a waste of time if you only read it.
Indeed, the victims had the same occupations with the ones written on the pamphlet.
Police officer in uniform ring ring running Kyoto Man Bicycle! To protect the city is our way of justice!
Don't tell me that the criminal attacked 7 people with those occupations...
Anyone might think that they were randomly murdered.
Even if they were random attacks,
but impersonating people by using Kyoto Man, the C class characters, is too tasteless.
It#s too bad, but I did my best to create them.
if there are seven of them, we have three more left.
Detective,
lawyer,
Diet member.
A Diet member?
But why is that?
Don't you think it'd be good
if a Diet member, a popular upper echelon, is among the heroes who protect the law?
Wait. You made them, didn't you?
Ah, I remembered!
These were Omiya san's idea.
Omiya san is...
He's a newspaper reporter, who was close to me, when I worked as PR.
He was beaten repeatedly inside Ujigami Temple's perimeter 10 years ago.
He was found unconscious.
I was found unconscious with a spanner at the same scene.
Indeed, he opened his eyes 10 years later.
The one who hit me was not Takuma san.
Thanks to him, I can prove my innocence.
I see...
Omiya san created these.
Are you okay?
I have arrived.
Thank goodness, Omiya san has become healthy again.
I was really worried about what will happen to you.
Well, I'm really sorry.
With this, we can revive our club.
With this, we can make to the end.
Oh!
Takuma san!
He was the criminal in my murder case.
Takuma san.. - Please stop talking like that.
Geez..
This is Anekoji san, a detective like me.
Nice to meet you.
Everyone is...
Oh, they're my citizen club's friends since before I lost consciousness.
There's still one other person.
He doesn't come today.
You were in a club. What kind of club is that?
We're famous at creating structure from matchsticks.
This is cool.
Matchsticks?
Before that incident happened to Omiya san,
he did his best to master all temples in Kyoto.
By the way, Takuma san, why do you come today?
I have something to ask you.
Oh, this is bad. We have to go now.
Right?
See you.
Yes.
See you.
Excuse me.
We will pick you when you leave the hospital. -Thank you.
That'd be helpful.
Take care.
Donmai's pickle.
You still remember!
You always said Donmai Donmai
You helped when I made this, right?
Oh! Yes, yes.
I gave idea for Kyoto Prefectural PR when Takuma san asked me for advice.
Since I was a child, I really like squadron.
That's why you created Kyoto Man.
Yes.
What's wrong with this?
A serial murder has happened.
Each of them was left scattered at the crime scenes.
Serial murder case?
Yes.
Actually I found this while keeping your personal belongings.
This is it.
In your notebook, there's an article about Anekoji san's husband who died in the line of duty.
What?
There was a Kyoto Man left at that scene.
The criminal expert, Sagami, has also said,
"This case and your false accusation's case are related to each other."
What does he mean with related?
I don't know.
Probably we had to face that incident, because we made these.
Even though you say that,
this case happened 10 years ago.
Please come inside.
I haven't met you since his second anniversary of death.
Yes.
I'm really sorry
that I couldn't visit his grave.
Please sit down.
Me too, I'm sorry for not visiting you.
Actually
I have something that I want to show you.
This is it.
Is this Anekoji's?
Yes.
It's so him.
But
there is only one page, that has been torn away.
So I ask you, who attended Police Academy together with him,
perhaps you have a clue.
By looking at the date,
I think this happened around 15 years ago.
So it was around that time...
I'm really sorry,
I can't help you.
Yes.
Excuse me...
Are you Takuma...
san's...
I'm his ex wife, Muromachi Miyako.
I got his letter this morning.
Oh...
He said,
he won't meet me and my son, Norihiko,
so he wanted me and my new boyfriend to start a new life.
That's what he wrote.
What?
Because that incident happened 10 years ago,
we got divorced.
I thought that he was rehabilitated to come back to the society because it was a false accusation.
Are you in relationship with that man now?
I met Yohsito when he was released from prison,
at that time I told him the truth.
And then
Isn't it good?
I thought you're suffering because of me.
I'm in relationship with a man who works in a security company.
He wrote in his letter.
because he works in a security company, he will protect you and Norihiko.
I see.
But I haven't talked about it with Toshiyo san,
He will surely investigate it as he please.
This was put inside the letter.
A listening device that's hidden inside a cellphone strap.
I want to make sure, whether he really means what he wrote in this letter.
Hmm
This is only my guess.
Because Takuma san's case was ruled as false accusation,
the real criminal has never been caught yet.
Beside not knowing
who has trapped him like that,
there's also a possibility that he will be attacked again.
No way...
That's why
in order not to get you involved,
he wrote this letter.
Nori kun, mama is there.
Mama!
I'm hungry.
I'm sorry to disturb your conversation. - Not at all.
He is...
I'm Miyako's friend. My name is Muto.
Nori kun
let's wait in the car until mama finishes talking. - No. I'm about to go now.
Excuse me.
Yes, Anekoji speaking.
What?
Miyako san!
I'll take you home.
Anekoji san, you're not going home yet.
The fifth case has occurred.
That's dangerous!
This is a forbidden access area!
Assistant Chief Jurisdiction has been murdered,
because of that everyone is quite frenzy at the scene.
Which jurisdiction is that?
Kamogawa District's Asst. Chief Sawada,
whom I met yesterday night.
Tell me the situation.
Right now Horikawa and the others are examining the location.
He came here after work,
it's highly likely that his drink has been poisoned.
Is this the fifth case? Then, there must be a figurine there.
There's a figurine in trench coat with spreading wings left on the scene.
It's Detective Kyoto Man.
Was Asst. Chief Sawada a detective?
Otsukare - Otsukaresamadesu
Anekoji san, is it true that you met the victim?
I can't believe he was chosen to become the fifth victim because of that.
The criminal wants you to think like that.
What?
To the contrary, we must think about the criminal's first hint.
Asst. Chief Sawada and Anekoji san's husband attended Police Academy at the same time.
It's the first that there's a similarity beside being justice officials.
Check their personal careers. Were they at the same jurisdiction?
Why are they different?
What do you mean?
The modus operandi.
Oh...
death from falling, hit-and-run,
stabbing to death.
Beaten to death and Poison.
If the criminal thought about this on purpose, then for what?
I found it.
Anekoji takehiko and Asst. Chief Sawada's transfer records.
Both of them were in Nishioji Station 15 years ago for only a year.
15 years ago...
Do you have his scrapbook?
Yes, I do.
That's correct.
The torn page is about 15 years ago.
What happened to them 15 years ago?
But Asst. Chief Sawada was in Criminal Section and her husband was in Community Affair.
Something must have happened 15 years ago.
They must be involved in something serious.
Yes, Anekoji speaking.
Chief?
Yes, please send it right away.
Chief is in Criminal Identification Section and has received the victim's phone call record
There are many phone calls.
You only need to check the calls right after he met you.
Why is that?
Assist. Chief Sawada saw this scrapbook,
he realized what was missing from the torn page.
So he immediately called someone.
He called two numbers.
Star Court Production?
Why did he call a performing art's office?
The other one is Amayasou Research's main number.
Amayasou is a major consulting company, isn't it?
Let me see it.
How about Amayasou?
I found its site here. - Let me see it.
Its representative, Amaya Takaharu, is a charisma management consultant.
What...
That's it.
Do you know something?
The next target, the number six, is
Each time the criminal goes out, I think...
the parents...
this aunty or this Uncle Amaya.
How could you know that?
She's the only lawyer among these tv personalities.
And Amayasou's repesentative, Amaya Takaharu, is
a former Diet member!
Diet member honorable selected Kyoto Man Banzai! I work for the citizens!
She is a lawyer.
Lawyer carry out justice Kyoto Man Scale! to protect human rights everywhere!
With this, probably we can finally catch the criminal.
Wow, what is it? Looks like janga. Janga, janga, janga.
Oh, cool... - Hey!
It's loose. - Hey, please stop it.
This is cool.
I'm really sorry. The representative won't meet anyone.
Excuse me, but...
I am Amaya's private secretary.
This is my card.
Amaya?
Are you his son?
Why doesn't he want to meet us?
Actually my father has legs' problem because of his age.
He lives secluded now.
Is he not here?
No.
We shouldn't tell anyone where he is.
That's what ordered me.
He gives all management instruction through me.
That's how we work with everyone.
But we want to talk to him personally for our investigation.
We don't give exception to the police.
Excuse me.
That's good.
Really?
I'm glad. I was a little bit worried.
What are you saying? Please work with us again next week.
Wow, thank you... - Are you Minami Kayoko san?
I want to speak with you.
Kayoko san, see you later.
I look forward to work with you. - Likewise.
AD! Hurry up!
You know why is your life being targeted, don't you?
Did I guess correctly?
Even though you're police officers,
I can sue you for defamation. Excuse me.
You're too direct! Even though Takuma is not here.
With that Kayoko san, even if we use direct attack, we won't hear anything.
So you remember your own position, but can you settle this matter?
Our hypothesis is progressing. How about that template guy?
Yuiko san didn't get any information.
What will we do next? - I'm discussing about the counter-measure now.
Yes, Anekoji speaking.
I don't know what you're investigating, but...
If you don't, please don't stop us. - Hey...
Hmm..
don't tell me that we have to end our investigation?
You have a good consideration.
Your intuition has improved since you teamed up with Takuma san.
The one who gave you pressure was not Minami Kayoko, but Amaya Takaharu, right?
He's former Diet member in Kyoto's election.
This is a secret. His secretary is his own son.
Seems like he will announce his candidacy at the next lower house election.
We won't lose anything if we help him.
But this concerns someone's life.
The next target might be Amaya Takaharu.
Even so, the person himself doesn't want to hear you. That's it.
We can't make any move.
Am I wrong?
So it's better not to make a move.
Anekoji san, Minami Kayoko has made a move.
What? What? - This one.
Anonymous BBS?
Minami Kayoko's scandal suddenly came to the surface. People on Internet are happy with it.
"Suspicion on essay's ghost writer"
"Using cannabis"
"Illegitimate child turmoil"
"Sexual harassment on TV producer"
I didn't think it'd be that fast.
What?
Don't tell me...
I'm discussing about the counter-measure now.
Did you start these?
No way. If I admit that I did that, did I make a blackmail or forcible business obstruction?
I got this from ex cybercrime counter-measurement unit officer, Kitamoto san.
This is his crib note.
It's the most efficient thing that can fire up no matter what subject I write in any website
You're admiting that crime.
I didn't do it.
Coming up next is Morning News.
Regular commentator, Minami Kayoko san, is taking a break due to certain circumstances.
We haven't heard anything in detail from her, but...
Isn't it cunning?
... it's not an accident.
Please tell us. - Please move.
Is it true that you have an illegitimate child? - Excuse me.
Just as I thought, it will become like this.
Don't tell me, that you want the reporters to follow her,
so your wrote something like that?
Because I need to buy some time.
What do you mean?
There must be an absolute rule in this serial murder crime.
Do you mean Kyoto Man, that's left on the scene? - No.
The criminal left a Kyoto Man that has the same occupation with the victims
on the scene as a sign of serial murder case
or is it only a camouflage?
What is that absolute rule?
A more important rule that connects several criminal acts.
So what is it?
We will investigate it now.
All of you will.
These are all protocols for all crimes that happened within Kyoto's jurisdiction 15 years ago.
I looked for the similarity among the five victims, Minami Kayoko and Amaya Takaharu.
but I still can't find anything.
Hey!
Look at this.
A magazine's article?
Yes.
Member of Lower House, Amaya Takaharu, and hotshot female lawyer, Minami Kayoko tens of years improper relationship.
Did they commit adultery?
If what's written in this article is true,
this can prove their connection.
Oh?
Where's Takuma?
He went out a while ago.
The chief called him.
I'm so happy to be able to see you again.
Shiga Chuo Prison
You didn't call me only to see me, did you?
Actually it's embarrassing,
There's someone among our prisoner, who makes illegal contact with people from the outside.
I would like you to find out who is that.
Please come in.
I will get compliment bonus, right?
Chief guard, please give the document to Takuma san.
This is our prisoner's list.
You only need to look at them, and you'll find out straight away who is the culprit.
What do you think?
Prisoner who made illegal contact
has no common feature with the ones who committed crimes and all prisoners.
People in this prison and their work groups are all different. The guards are divided too.
But indeed, there is an individual among them who can make a contact.
Guard Chief, that person is you, right?
What do you say?
A Chief Guard can't buy something like this.
Beside, there's a shinning foreign car parked at the parking lot.
Arrest Mihara!
Yes, Sir!
I will interrogate you later!
Well, well, Takuma san has saved me again.
You don't forget my compliment bonus, do you?
Do you wanna know about an interesting case?
off course
Figurine at the murder scene.
What kind of?
Do you know Kyoto Man?
No
7 occupations' characters
The victims jobs?
Yes
Past occupations too?
My hands are shaking. Can we talk directly?
You over there! Talking is forbidden!
He can talk. Just close your eyes. This is an exception.
It seems like the chief is indebted to you.
You said that this case and mine are connected.
So tell me what you know.
I only said until "They have the same smell."
If you're a pro scriptwriter, I can expect you to hand out the conclusion.
There are two points to solve the case.
First, as a serial murder case, why does each case have different modus operandi?
Second, if it's a serial murder case, why did three cases stop 11 years ago
and resumed in this year?
Was the murder case resumed because I was released from prison?
We can't eliminate that possibility.
I want to eliminate it.
The victims are limited to people related to justice. Is the motive revenge?
No.
It doesn't smell like that.
Could it be for pleasure?
That's not it.
This is not because of sense of despair or pleasure's abnormality.
So what is it?
If I were to venture an opinion, it's sign or purpose of life.
If he doesn't do this, he won't be him.
He loses his own support.
That's
his strong will.
Is it his meaning of life?
I might say that there are variety of doctrines.
Don't tell me that a crime has become a doctrine?
Please be careful.
The things that you right now is only the tip of an iceberg.
The lurking evil that lies under the water is unpredictable.
That's how I feel.
An evil?
Yes.
To tell you the truth,
I like it.
Well...
I'll do my best to be careful.
May I ask you one more thing?
How can someone communicate with other who's outside the prison?
The Chief Guard did it, didn't he?
Mostly yes.
I'll keep it secret from the Chief.
Please tell me.
It's a very simple code.
TAKUMA SAAAAN!
A PHONE CALL!!!
Yes! Yes!
Yes, I'm here! Number 244!!!
I'm already standing at a good spot.
Yes, this is Nr. 244, Takuma.
Our time-buying was not successful.
What?
Minami Kayoko's corpse has been found.
It's death by suffocation.
The weapon is this item.
Is the usual item there?
We're still observing the scene now.
Hey, this it it!
That's a lawyer.
We found it.
A lawyer Kyoto Man.
Damn it!
If Minami Kayoko were still alive, I wanted to ask her,
what happened between her and Amaya Takaharu 15 years ago.
Should we go to see Amaya Takaharu once again?
Even if he lives reclusively, if he heard that officers want to ask,
he will surely comply with us.
If he wants to confess, he wouldn't have put pressure on Chief Takakura.
But first we must find the murder's rule!
Like I said, what is that rule?
Like I said, I'm worried because I don't know!
It's enough! Don't torture me! Don't torture me....
Don't roll over like a baby!
That cheeky fellow is depressing.
Even so, he went to prison to meet Sagami, but it's also useless.
But he brought back a souvenir.
So prisoners make this kind of thing.
There's a scratch here.
It looks more like an alphabet rather than a scratch.
Let me see.
What is that?
51 points.
What is he doing?
It's a game where you should not put the big ones above the small ones.
What does it mean?
I don't know.
Finished.
Simple code?
It's a very simple code.
Take them all off the board.
Hurry, help me!
Oh, yes.
Quickly, quickly!
Put them back according to their timeline.
Put the photos in order too.
Finished.
Read their catch phrases vertically.
If I read them vertically...
Dai

shin

Not the Kanji letters,
but connect the sound from each first sound.
Then...
"Ookina" is o?
ri

That looks like a person's name.
Find this name!
You will find it among the big cases.
Hurry up!
Check it out, hurry! - Yes, yes.
Thank you for waiting.
Here you go. Thank you for waiting.
I really found him!
Orihata Makoto!
Do you know where he is?
It's impossible, because he's already dead.
This is a newspaper's article.
He was arrested as a murder suspect 15 years ago,
right after he was found guilty at the trial,
he committed suicide in the prison.
April 1999, in Sakyo ku, Kyoto,
there was a murder case in a delinquent group.
The murder victim is Hoshida Shouta, 18 years old.
Hoshida Shouta 18 years old
Nishioji Jurisdiction concluded that the only adult in that delinquent group,
also the leader, Orihata Makoto, was the murderer.
While Nishioji Jurisdiction was searching for Orihata Makoto,
Nishioji's officer found Orihata Makoto.
When he was asked to voluntary come to for questioning,
he hit the officer with bare hands and was caught red-handed.
Orihata denied the crime,
but the trial changed completely.
Kyoto District court wrote up the case
and sentenced him 12 years imprisonment.
The defendant will serve 12 years in prison.
The night after the verdict, inside Kyoto Rakusai Prison,
he was found hung himself using his underwear.
Orihata!
Kyoto Rakusai Prison is...
It's where Nakajima Kiichi, the first murder victim's, used to work.
Who found and arrested Orihata Makoto?
He was an officer of Nishioji Station.
Do you know who was the detective in charge as investigation's commander?
His name is written here. It's Chief Sawada.
Three people are connected in a case.
There are still more connections. Chief, order the trial's record.
Yes.
Public Trial Record
Orihata Makoto' was prosecuted by Prosecutor Kubota Amane.
the judge who sentenced him was Sugiyama Akiomi.
Orihata Makoto's lawyer was Minami Kayoko.
Now it's clear.
This serial murder case is not a random case.
It's a murder case with a clear motive.
What is that clear motive?
I still don't know that yet.
What about Amaya Takaharu?
Amaya's name doesn't appear among people involved in the murder case or the trial.
There must be a connection.
If not, he wouldn't be inserted in this position.
Amaya Takaharu
Has Orihata san's father already passed away?
He already passed away three years ago.
Because that incident happened to his son,
he got divorced.
After that, he always lived alone.
Where is his ex wife now?
I heard that she has also passed away.
Ah,
yes,
actually this house belongs to his second son.
But he never comes.
He has second son? Does Makoto have a younger brother?
Yes, his name is Isamu.
Do you know his ex wife's maiden name?
Teruya Isamu?
Are you sure that he's Makoto's younger brother?
Yes.
Show me your husband murder case's photo. - This is it.
The name of the one who reported your husband's murder is
Teruya Isamu, 17 years old.
Teruya Isamu
What?
There’s something more.
There was a woman who was with him at that time.
Her name is Hoshida Mitsuko, 41 years old.
Who is Hoshida?
Orihata Makoto's murder victim was…
Hoshida Shota!
Judging from her age at that time, she might be Hoshida Shota’s mother.
Why were they at the stabbing scene?
They were the murderer’s younger brother and the victim’s mother.
Do you think that they were coincidentally there,
when the police, who apprehended the murderer, was murdered?
Let me go!
Your husband was likely not stabbed by Okazaki.
Okazaki Kazuma
Don’t tell me that his stabbers were…
Teruya Isamu and Hoshida Mitsuka?
I still don’t know that yet.
Teruya Isamu was still 17 years old.
As for Hoshida Mitsuko, I think it’s difficult for a woman to do it.
Mansion’s CCTV, where Minami Kayoko was killed, has recorded a suspicious person.
A home delivery service‘s courier won’t cause any suspicion, even if he called her from the service entrance.
I think I saw him somewhere.
Isn’t he probably Teruya Isamu?
If he was 17 years 12 years ago, he is 29 now.
His age matches perfectly.
If that's the case, we have to find Hoshida Mitsuko!
What is Hoshida Mitsuko’s occupation?
She’s a home visit care’s helper.
If Teruya Isamu works at home delivery service,
it won’t raise any suspicious if both of them visit other’s house.
This one.
I found a photo.
I found one too in here.
That’s pretty new.
I have to send it to Anekoji san.
It’s arrived!
Is this Hoshida Mitsuko?
I remember!
We have met both of them!
We met Hoshida Mitsuko and Teruya Isamu!
We? Where?
At the hospital!
They were together with Omiya san.
That time I was really worried about what will happen.
What?
We can do it till the end.
As a serial murder case, why does each case have different modus operandi?
And it was resumed again this year.
I got it.
What is it?
All of these
were caused by Orihata Makoto’s conviction of murder 15 years ago and he received penalty.
But actually he didn’t commit the crime.
Was it a false accusation?
Orihata and the murdered Hoshida Shota were members of delinquent group.
If the other members were protecting the real murderer,
and conspired together to put the blame on Orihata…
Judging from the situation, you were the one who did it.
I’m sure. - He did it.
Cut it out!
Besides, to make Orihata become the murderer,
they put pressure on detective on the scene and public prosecutor.
That’s unbelievable.
these cases occurred, because that unbelievable thing happened,
Teruya Isamu who couldn’t accept Orihata Makoto’s death
and Hoshida Mitsuko who became uncertain about the real killer of her son,
befriended Omiya san and friends.
They started their revenge on seven judicial officers.
Don’t tell me that Omiya san is also involved in the killing.
When I started with the pamphlet,
the people involved in Orihata Makoto coincidentally recognized it
and started the serial killing by using Kyoto Man as their motive.
For his serial murder plan,
Omiya san suggested me to make this
and created catch phrase
to represent Orihata Makoto’s name.
He even worked on the victim’s sequential order.
I have solved one puzzle.
A puzzle?
The serial murder case was started 13 years ago
and occurred once every year with these victims:
a prison guard, a judge, and a police officer wearing uniform.
10 years ago, one of the members, Omiya san,
was hit by an individual,
and remained unconscious in hospital.
The serial murder case was stopped because of that.
It wasn’t resumed because I was released from prison,
but at that moment, the clock started to tick again.
Let’s go! Yes.
Where is Omiya san?
He was discharged this morning.
Where does he live?
He has no home and family.
He must've lost his apartment, when he's unconscious for 10 years.
We'll come to pick you up when you’re discharged.
Thank you.
I’m sure that Omiya san must be with them!
Omiya san and friends are going to meet Amaya Takaharu.
How could you come to that conclusion?
It's the murder’s sequential order.
Sequential order?
It's from who made the lightest to the heaviest crime.
Orihata had a mental breakdown but his suicide's symptom was overlooked.
Prison Guard
So the first victim was Prison Guard Nakajima Kiichi.
The second victim is the officer, who believed that he has arrested the murderer.
Uniformed Officer
It's your husband.
The third was the judge, who swallowed the examination's request,
unable to see the false charge, and sentenced him.
Judge
Sugiyama Akiomi.
The fourth is the prosecutor, who still presented the case,
despite Orihata's continuous denial.
Prosecutor
Kubota Amane.
They killed people for that reason.
I can never forgive them!
Those people might realize their own injustice later.
The fifth, Sawada Atsushi, commanded the investigation.
Even though he was told that Orihita was probably not the murderer, he ruled Orihata as the murderer.
Detective
The sixth committed a quite heavy crime.
As Orihata's lawyer, she neglected her duty to protect him.
Lawyer
Minami Kayoko.
Why did Orihata confess to the crime?
Orihata didn't fully understand the law and was tricked by deceitful words.
She's a lawyer, why did she do that?
What if her lover suggested her to do so?
Amaya Takaharu?
15 years ago, Amaya Takaharu has written all the thing behind the scene.
That's why he becomes the last target.
But beside his son, nobody knows where Amaya Takaharu is.
Excuse me.
So that's the reson.
What?
The criminals are already there, where Amaya will surely come.
Funeral Announcement
Anekoji san!
Is it true that the criminals will come here?
They will, because their target is here.
This is his 10-year-long lover's funeral, so he will surely come.
And that's the criminals' target.
So the criminals are here...
But this location is open to public,
how can the criminals target Amaya?
This case must have a different modus operandi than the previous ones.
Death from falling, hit-and-run, stabbing, beating, poisoning, strangulation.
The one's left is
Tell me, quickly!
Ah!
Over there!
This is bad! - Protect the target!
Excuse me...
Please move.
Lay down!
Stop your stupid act!
Let me go! Please let me go!
I'm sorry! I released the doves too soon.
Takuma san, I will hate you!
You can't possibly came here alone.
Probably everyone want to see this with their own eyes.
What?
Just give up and get out now!
Everyone who made the famous structures from matchsticks!
If you run away, I will find you very soon!
I'm sorry!
So
was Amaya Takaharu the seventh victim?
No, you're wrong.
The bullet hit the son, not the father.
The target is Amaya Yusaku.
15 years ago you were still 17 years old,
you controlled a group.
Amaya Yusaku went to the batter's box.
I gave up being the pitcher.
Hey, wake up!
We'll do the next one.
He's not breathing.
You have killed your friend, Hoshida Shota,
so you asked your father, a Diet member, to clean it up.
A father is a father.
In order to protect himself,
he frantically put pressure on the police and prosecutor to cover up the case.
Finally you found Orihata Makoto to be the scapegoat,
and you used your lover, Minami Kayoko, a lawyer, to accuse him.
What are you talking about?
I don't know anything!
Even if you play dumb, your son will tell the truth.
That's understandable.
Because you committed the crime
and your father put the blame on someone else.
But why
Omiya san and friends, who are not bereaved families, helped the serial murder case?
We also committed crime that resulted in Orihata Makoto kun.
Crime?
15 years ago
as a local news reporter,
I wrote many times about that case.
But right after Orihata kun committed suicide,
people around me sent mysterious document.
Orihata kun has admitted that he murdered Hoshida Shota san.
my article became the trigger,
the public arbitrarily accused Orihata Makoto as an atrocious murderer.
Orihata kun was killed because of my article.
I immediately left everything behind.
Together with Orihata kun's brother, Isamu kun,
went to meet Hoshida san's mother.
And what surprised me was
that I wasn't the only one who received a mysterious letter.
If only I testified,
that when the crime occurred,
Makoto went to work
and he wouldn't be charged for that crime.
It's my fault.
It's my fault too.
If I had protected him, as his homeroom teacher,
I should have testified that Orihata kun wasn't a delinquent group leader.
Five people including me, are suffering in agony, because he couldn't save Orihata kun.
Human are not equal.
My brother was still 20 years old,
he didn't know anything such happiness and died.
Shota was the same.
Before he became someone,
that child's life
was taken away from him.
He didn't leave anything behind.
Then we will
become
Orihata and Shota kun's
replacement...
Replacement?
There can never be a replacement!
Because you can't become their replacements,
will you do something
that can be done only by you?
What should we do?
To kill the bad guys.
Because they're still alive.
It'll be meaningless if you don't do it.
At that moment,
something that we have to do has appeared in front of us,
who lost our meaning and purpose in life.
Did you help them take revenge because you feel guilty?
You don't understand, Detective.
This is not a revenge.
What?
Don't you think that
it's worth it
to do what you have to do in life?
That's why,
as the symbol of our lives,
and if we have to leave something,
we should take lives of people, who have taken others' lives.
As persons
who couldn't choose anything in life,
this is the answer that we chose once in our lifetime.
A murder as proof of life?
I don't think you'd understand us.
You chose seven people, and one person killed a person.
That's the rule of this plan.
Yes.
Come, let's choose one.
With this, I can answer the second puzzle.
Even though they were serial murder cases, why did each of them have different modus operandi?
Because each of these seven people chose his own modus operandi.
There are two women among the members.
There were hints for this too.
Death from falling, hit-and-run, stabbing, beating, poisoning, strangulation.
Then the attempt closing murder was shooting.
You need power to make someone fall,
so a young person is suitable for that.
By taking out Omiya san, the one killed the lawyer is
Teruya Isamu.
The one who beat the ex prosecutor is
Hit-and-run and poisoning were mostly likely done by women.
The crucial's stabbing was done by...what?
We lack of one person.
There are six people from the beginning.
No. There must be one more person.
You said it at the hospital,
there was one more person who didn't come.
Yes.
Actually there's one more person.
Muto san is...
Do you have his photo? Didn't you bring it? - Ah, wait a second, Takuma san.
It can't be true.
This is the real meaning that connects everything.
What do you mean?
Muto wrote two cases' scenario.
Why is Norihiko injured?
He will be fine. We should go to the hospital.
Hurry up! Hurry up!
It's not a coincidence that Muto dated Miyako.
He did it on purpose knowing that's she's my ex wife. - What for?
I don't know.
He wrote two scenarios, so the connection must be me.
Is that a wiretap?
It' was a right decision to send her the strap.
At Minami Kayoko's funeral service,
a shooting incident has happened.
Kyoto Prefectural Police has announced, that nobody was injured.
The shooter was, at the scene...
What? So Omiya san has failed.
What are you talking about?
If that's the case, I will be chased very soon.
Who will chase you?
Takuma Yoshito.
What?
Is Norihiko really wounded?
Where are you taking me to?
I just want you to accompany me for a while
Because
you are Takuma's vulnerable point.
Don't tell me that Muto is abducting Miyako san?
Location! Where is the location?
A song?
I can hear people clapping.
KYT480!
They have an event at Harbour Mall!
Drive!!!!
It's useless. We can't go any further.
Anekoji san, do you have your gun?
Of course I prepared myself.
What are you doing?
I'll have a private family conversation.
Your ex family, right?
Hey!
I'm sorry! Excuse me! Move!
Sorry! Sorry!
Sorry! Sorry! Excuse me!
Passing through, excuse me!
Sorry! Sorry!
Excuse me, passing through!
What's wrong? Why are you doing this?
It'd be better if you don't know.
(Elevator) The door is closing.
Help me!
Miyako!
Just like what I thought, you're fast.
Yoshito san.
What are you doing? Let Miyako go!
If I release her as soon as you tell me to, keeping a hostage will be meaningless, right?
Because we're here,
let's have a nice chat.
You wrote the mysterious letters, didn't you?
You're great.
So you knew it.
They were sent with good content and timing, and to the right persons.
You arranged it too well.
As if giving instruction to manipulate Omiya san and the others,
rather than indicting the real situation.
It was an artistic literature, wasn't it?
Those guys are reasonably usefull.
Omiya san was the first one to admit his own guilt,
but that's not what really happened.
Someone planned everything
and cntrolled them from behind.
It was you who did it!
You followed me quite well.
You kill people as your purpose to live.
That sounds good,
but people won't normally think like that.
But
you took time to indoctrinate people
and make them believe you.
It looked like a dogma.
Wow...
Will I be called sect leader from now on?
You were the one who killed Anekoji san's husband, weren't you?
He was the officer incumbent at that time.
I couldn't let an amateur do it,
so I did something cunning a little bit.
Did you give Anekoji san's husband the pamphlet that I made?
If I didn't give him a little hint...
You told him that Orihata Makoto was not the killer.
He was a serious person.
He was really serious.
He thought he made a great achievement by arresting him, but it was a false charge.
He was quite shocked after knowing that that guy committed suicide after that.
You did that to manipulate Anekoji Takehiko,
Then 12 years ago, that day...
Yes.
I used Okazaki, the robber-murderer, who was on the run.
Even though I look like that, I'm an ex cop.
I found him and took him to that parking lot.
Then I called Anekoji Takehiko.
Just obey me and...
Wait!
Okazaki Kazuma!
20.20, you're under arrest for robbery and murder.
Please call 119.
Tell them what happened, as what I told you before.
Can I ask you one more thing?
Why did you make many the serial murder case's planes,
but you stopped it and hit Omiya san,
then put the blame on me?
Huh?
Hey, hey! Don't get it wrong!
It's the opposite!
The starting point is you, the nerd.
Starting point?
The first time I used Omiya to do everything exactly like what I said and created a serial murder case.
Then I only continued to follow him.
In those days, you as the nerd,
believed Omiya from his heart.
So 10 years ago, I used Omiya to call you to come to the temple.
Omiya san, what's wrong?
Are you okay?
What happened?
Wait, I'll call an ambulance.
Wait.
It's not here...
Frankly speaking, the society should have rejected you,
but you're surprisingly stubborn,
so I have to continue this troublesome difficult case.
For what purpose did you set that trap on me?
It's because
you became aware of our existence.
That's because
you really like crimes and can't endure it.
Does it mean that
you enjoy killing with all your heart?
Well then..
If you don't want me to kill her, drink it.
This must be poison.
In order to win back your ex wife from her new lover,
you caused a commotion by kidnapping her, then committing suicide using poison.
I wanted to write a smarter scenario,
but I have no other choice.
What's the guarantee that you will release Miyako if I drink this?
I'll get no benefit if I kill this woman.
Aren't you satisfied with my answer?
Don't do it!
What are you thinking?
Why did you come out?
It's better to hide and become a trump card later.
What? Did you realize that I was here?
This is the best!
This situation is great, isn't it?
What are you saying?
Will you shoot me first?
Or should I stab her before that?
Or will this nerd drink the poison before that?
I don't know how everything will be settled.
Cut it out!
Hurry, release the hostage!
If you don't. I'll shoot you.
Not again
You make an excuse so that I release the hostage, but you will shoot me after all.
Because
I killed your husband.
Isn't it the best?
You can hide behind your duty to take revenge.
Don't do it, Anekoji san.
We have to arrest him. - Will you shoot?
Or will I stab?
Or will Takuma drink poison?
Which ending will it be?
Don't do it!
Yoshito san...
Miyako! Are you alright?
Sniping is executed. The target is shot.
Shoot!
If you kill me,
the time that has stopped,
will be resumed again.
Don't do it!
Shoot me!
16.50
I confirm the suspect's death.
The instruction to carry the gun was legal, right? - Yes.
There's no problem at all.
Good job.
What about my request?
Yes.
This is voice data from wiretap.
You can leave now.
Excuse me.
For what purpose did you set that trap on me?
It's because
a nerd like you became aware of our existence.
That's because
you really like crimes and can't endure it.
For what purpose did you set that trap on me?
That's because
you became aware of our existence.
...you became aware of our existence.
"our existence"
Hello, Akane.
Where are you now?
I see.
No, it's nothing.
I'm thinking about buying something sweet today.
What should we eat?
Mitarashi?
I got it.
See you later.
Why are you dozing off here?
Take her to the hospital!
But
You always let me write the report anyway.
You still have a private family conversation, right?
I'm sorry.
You can just lay down.
I'm alright now.
It's better to have a checkup.
Why did he do that?
You don't need to think about that.
It's nothing important.
Everything is over.
Please take care of her.
