In the near future,
you will be investigating a gang rape case in Musashino City.
My older brother was involved in this case.
Brother?
If the truth were exposed, the one in deepest trouble
would be you.
I will no longer obey you.
Iwata!
However, it is extremely dangerous to investigate this case.
You could end up like your brother if you found out the truth.
How much do you know about this case?
Everything you wish to find out,
I know it all.
Chief! Chief!
What happened?
Please hang on.
I heard Ōyama's voice.
What?
You are the only one I can trust.
I'm counting on you,
Lieutenant Saegusa.
That's impossible.
There's no way Ōyama could still be alive.
After that,
I immediately went to check.
However,
it clearly was still there...
in the back courtyard.
Back courtyard?
I...
killed Ōyama.
I was the one
who killed him.
I still regret it now.
I regret it!
Chief.
It all began...
with the Musashino...
gang rape case.
Ōyama.
Ōyama!
If only...
Chief?
Chief.
Chief Iwata!
Cold Case Investigation Team Episode 8
MAY 1999 MUSASHINO CITY
It's Iguchi Nana, right?
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
They say she would sleep with anyone?
So that's the girl? How wanton.
How disgusting. This girl Iguchi Nana...
This is the first time I've seen her in person. She actually did that.
I could tell from the start.
That must be the notorious Iguchi Nana.
I get goosebumps all over.
Is it true? Iguchi Nana...
Stop!
Don't do something foolish.
Quickly step back.
Don't come over!
Those are all lies, right?
I know.
It's true.
What?
I'm sorry.
Nana!
She managed to survive.
It's too outrageous.
Hey, 0.5
Ah, senpai.
What is it? What has happened?
A gang rape case happened in Musashino City.
The victim is a high school girl.
The number of perpetrators...
are more than 10.
Not only did they rape her,
they also spread malicious rumours saying that she sleeps with everyone.
She finally jumped from the rooftop
but thankfully survived.
This was how her parents found out their daughter was assaulted
and so they filed a police report.
Musashino?
In the near future,
you will be investigating a gang rape case in Musashino City.
Can you please tell me the truth behind the case?
My older brother was involved in the case.
We've been requested to assist
in the Musashino gang rape case investigations.
Assistance in a rape case? What's going on?
The victim is still unconscious.
However, since there are many assailants, the impact is widespread.
Who is willing to go with me?
I'll go.
I'll go too.
Aren't you busy with the robbery case?
Senpai.
I can do it on my own.
Sakurai can handle the case by herself.
Got it. Let's move out immediately.
Yes.
Take care. Hurry up.
First round the neighbourhood hooligans up for questioning.
Go inside.
Next.
Please take a seat.
Name and age?
Kobayashi Ken. 17 years old.
Name of your school?
Are you suspecting my son?
No, we are only asking them some questions.
Undoubtedly that girl seduced him first.
That's why we are still investigating.
What did you say?
Make sure to do a proper investigation!
Something troublesome has come up.
I'll need you to clean it up.
I understand. Rest assured and leave it to me.
Get the details from my secretary.
I'll leave it in your hands.
West Musashino General Hospital
That is her father.
Hello.
What is it?
We have some questions for your daughter.
It is still not possible.
We hear that she has regained consciousness.
Do you not know what my daughter went through?
Yet all of you still keep harassing her with questions!
If it is not convenient to speak to us,
we can arrange for a female officer.
Didn't I already tell you to leave?
Don't you understand? How infuriating!
Have you been drinking?
So what if I have!
Get lost!
- Ōyama! - I am Ōyama from Josai Precinct.
I will leave my business card here.
Call me if you need anything.
Are you trying to kill my daughter, you jerk!
Stop it, Ōyama.
What were you thinking!
The father's behaviour is really strange.
What?
By right, a father should really hate the culprits
and wish he could strangle them with his own hands.
Yet what kind of attitude is that?
It is inconceivable.
Anyway,
let's stop here for today.
Ōyama Takeshi
This is very possibly the crime scene.
Is there any proof?
Yes.
A neighbour once saw the victim come out from here.
She said that her behaviour seemed strange
and so she suspected that something had happened.
Is there any evidence of the culprits?
Although we have combed extensively,
there is no conclusive evidence who it is.
Are there any security cameras in the area?
There is none.
Hello there.
He lives in the house behind here.
Saitō Yūya, a student.
That uniform...
He is the victim's schoolmate.
Perhaps he might know something.
We've questioned him before.
At the time of the crime, he was not at home,
so he has no knowledge of what happened.
He is a diligent honour student
and has nothing to do with this case.
The liver was stabbed by a sharp object.
Serious injury was incurred at the left side of the falciform ligament.
Cause of death is likely due to
excessive bleeding from the portal vein and coronary artery.
Furthermore, there is damage to the middle and left hepatic veins.
Saegusa.
Yes.
Why were you at the crime scene?
Say something!
Calm down. Everyone calm down.
The chief is dead and you expect us to calm down?!
Chief Iwata was the one who called me.
Called you?
He said he wanted to talk to me about
the 1999 Musashino gang rape case.
Hmm.
Why did he want to talk about that case?
He said that it would be dangerous
if I were to reinvestigate that case.
Dangerous?
How specifically?
I have no idea.
By the time I arrived at the hospital,
he had already been attacked.
Did you see anyone suspicious there?
No.
What about the weapon?
I do not know.
Witnesses?
And you call yourself a police officer?
I want the entire division to work on this case.
Iwata's call logs, credit card records,
surveillance cameras around the area.
Check them all.
Be sure to catch the killer
and bring him to me.
Yes!
However,
the Cold Case Team is excluded from this investigation.
Why?
A suspect's colleagues cannot participate in the investigation.
Saegusa could not have killed anyone.
I also hope that it is not him.
Nonetheless,
until your innocence is proven, you are still a suspect.
Call Log Details Iwata Kazuo
You spoke with Chief Iwata on the phone on the day of the crime.
What was your relationship with Chief Iwata?
How can former gangsters and police officers be on good terms?
Give me a straight answer.
I got to know him through a previous case.
After that, we only contacted when there was information to give.
That's it.
What did you talk about on this day?
Just small talk.
Tell me the truth!
Stop getting me involved in the police's internal disputes.
Police?
What do you mean?
Some time back,
a police officer asked me all sorts of questions about Chief Iwata.
Please let me off.
I will leave straight away.
Saegusa?
He seemed to hate Mr. Iwata a lot.
He even told me not to tell anyone that he had approached me before.
Saegusa Kento was investigating Iwata?
Yes.
What's the reason?
I do not know.
Saegusa is maintaining his right to stay silent on that matter.
Find out exactly what Saegusa Kento is investigating
and report directly back to me.
Yes.
I will take my leave.
Why were you looking into Chief Iwata!
I was not investigating the chief.
Then what was it!
Spit it out!
Don't turn your cell phone off during this time
so that we can track your location.
Don't go anywhere too far. Act as you always do.
Get it?
Yes.
After his wife passed away,
Chief Iwata raised his daughter on his own.
What no one in the precinct knew
was that his daughter...
died of leukemia a few days ago.
What?
That is why the rest of the detectives are close to losing it.
It wasn't me.
Of course I know that.
But what are you keeping to yourself?
I want to help you.
Sergeant Ōyama's corruption case. There's a hidden side to it.
How do you know that?
What did you find out about Ōyama senpai?
The corruption charges were manipulated.
What? By whom?
Chief Iwata.
He must have been backed by a more powerful figure.
How did you know all this?
You are the only one who can help me now.
You're the only one I can trust in the police organisation.
Do you have any evidence?
Evidence that can prove that Chef Iwata
set up senpai's corruption charges.
At the time, Chief Iwata
had no choice but to help set up the corruption case.
Before he died, he told me
that he was the one who killed Sergeant Ōyama.
No way...
Why would he...
Why would the chief kill him!
That was what he said.
He personally...
killed Sergeant Ōyama.
What was the reason?
Musashino.
He said it all began with the Musashino case.
Sergeant Ōyama...
Chief Iwata as well...
They were killed to silence them.
MAY 1999 WEST MUSASHINO PRECINCT
I have nothing to do with it.
I do not know anything.
We are not suspecting you.
We just have a few questions.
A girl from your school was assaulted.
You know that, right?
Yes.
There is eyewitness testimony that
the location of the assault was possibly
the abandoned house near your home.
I see.
Do you know anything about it?
No.
Ōyama.
Still poking his nose where it does not belong.
Ōyama volunteered himself
and is aggressively pursuing this case.
Why?
I do not know.
Even something small would help.
Have you spoken to Iguchi Nana before?
Yes...
Is there something wrong?
No.
It is unrelated to this case.
It's alright.
Just tell us.
Good morning!
It's you, Ryōta.
What's up? This is a rare occurrence.
What is an honour student like you
hanging out with a girl like that?
You mentioned before that
your parents are not at home during the day.
That's right. What of it?
I was wondering if I could borrow your place once a week?
Why?
I would like to tutor Iguchi.
What?
Please.
No way... are you and her...
Idiot! That's not it.
It's strictly for tutoring.
First, assign this number to x in the expression.
Then...
Hang on, hang on.
You're talking too fast.
Can you start teaching me from the basics?
From high school first year maths?
From middle school maths?
Please.
Middle school...
Are there any middle school topics?
Not this one...
Katō Ryōta
This Katō...
Yūya, let's go.
Hold on... what are you doing?
I should be asking you.
This boy is still a minor.
We are only asking some questions for reference.
I do not remember giving my consent.
- Let's go. - Wait a minute...
Wait a minute.
Hang on!
Scapegoat.
What?
In order to quieten things down and appease all parties,
we need someone who will take the fall.
What do you mean?
That student earlier gave me a good idea.
A person without money or connections
whom nobody will protect regardless of what befalls them,
is a sacrificial lamb.
All we need is one such student.
Are... are you saying...
in order to cover up the truth,
we must have a scapegoat?
That's right.
Director.
You know who the real culprit is, don't you?
Why did you think
I bothered coming all the way here from the Metropolitan Police Department?
Do I need to say more?
Iwata!
Leave all your daughter's needs to me.
Do you understand?
I understand.
That's good.
Make the arrangements straight away.
Don't let Ōyama get ahead of you.
These are the materials I gathered.
I collected and compiled them all.
If solely based on police materials that are left,
there isn't even any information of the detectives in charge of the case.
Since I persisted in my investigations,
everyone disliked me.
Musashino Tojo High School Girl Gang Rape Case Investigation materials
Materials from the prosecution were even more sloppy.
I understand your wish to find out everything.
However, you must be patient for now.
Why should I?
You are a suspect now.
You should not act recklessly.
My older brother was involved in this case.
Older brother?
What do you mean?
Correct. Correct.
This one is correct too.
This is...
Is it wrong?
No.
It's correct.
Awesome! Perfect marks!
Keep up the good work.
Since I got a perfect score, can I tell you my wish?
Sure.
I wish for our whole family to go out and have a meal together.
Is that all you wish for?
Yes.
I wish to eat omurice.
- Omurice? - Yes.
The omurice I had last time with all of you was unforgettable.
Got it.
I will talk to Mother about it.
That must be Mother.
Who are you?
You must be Katō Ryōta.
Yes.
Please come down with us.
What is this about?
You'll know at the precinct.
Older brother.
Let's go.
Older brother!
Don't worry. I'll be home real soon.
Older brother!
I was still a child in those days,
so I did not understand why my brother was arrested.
Older brother! Older brother!
Don't come back
Rapist family
Get lost
Tell me what disgraceful deeds your brother committed.
Isn't he a scum?
- Speak up. - Kento?
Are you alright?
After my brother was arrested,
my mother could not bear to see me bullied
so she put me in my relatives' care.
My surname was also changed to Mother's maiden surname, Saegusa.
After eight months had passed,
I heard that my brother was released from juvenile detention
so I quickly hurried home.
Older brother! Older brother!
Why my brother had to commit suicide...
At the time I did not understand anything.
However, when I was in high school,
I finally found out the truth behind the matter.
JULY 2006
You knew my brother, right?
Who are you?
Katō Ryōta's younger brother.
Katō Ryōta?
Oh, him.
At the time you confessed to raping Iguchi Nana.
You even claimed that you were instigated by Katō Ryōta
and accused him of being the principal offender.
What is it this time?
I hear that you were bragging at the bar
about how you framed Katō Ryōta.
What was that all about?
No idea. I was drunk.
Hey... you gave a false statement
accusing my brother of being the principal offender.
Who put you up to it?
What are you doing?
None of your business. Get lost!
What did you say! You punk!
That hurts.
Stay right there!
Who was it?
Who instigated you to frame my brother?
What will you do if you knew?
I won't let him get away with it.
I will...
make him pay for sure.
Do you know why Ryōta was chosen?
What?
Someone with no money or connections
is easy to crush.
You should know your position and live quietly.
So annoying!
In order to protect someone,
my brother was earmarked as the sacrificial lamb
just because he had no money or connections.
Who exactly were they protecting,
and whose orders were they obeying.
I will definitely uncover the truth.
You have suffered greatly.
I had no choice but to do it because Katō Ryōta forced me.
Katō Ryōta was not an exemplary student at all.
Didn't I already say that we were all put up to it by Katō Ryōta.
He has a dual personality.
Katō Ryōta made me do it.
Who told you to say this?
I am just telling the truth.
Everyone says you were the principal offender.
They all said they were instigated by you.
Are you really the principal offender?
It wasn't me.
In that case, who was the principal offender?
I do not know.
However,
I am certain everyone is lying.
Father passed away from an illness in Heisei 2 (1990) Works as a newspaper delivery boy to supplement household income After his father's death, continued to use his paternal surname Katō Mother's maiden surname Saegusa
"Saegusa"?
Oldest son Ryōta
Youngest son Kento
In the near future,
you will be investigating a gang rape case in Musashino City.
My older brother was involved in the case.
Apart from you, everyone else's statements match.
Only yours differ from everyone else!
Please believe me.
I really didn't do it!
Isn't that Congressman Nozawa.
Thank you for all your help this time.
Don't mention it.
It is for the success of the project.
This is my son Yōichi.
It's you.
I am indebted to you for everything.
That's enough.
Young people should be brimming with confidence.
Announcing the arrival of Congressman Nozawa of the Democratic Party.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome him with a huge round of applause.
Ogawa Urban Development Co., Ltd. 30th Anniversary Commemoration Banquet
Iguchi Nana and other friends also arrived at Saitō Yūya's house. Katō Ryōta forced me to rape Iguchi Nana. I had no choice but to comply.
Director!
Why are you here?
I've come to verify the progress of the investigation.
Verify?
Don't tell me you're here
specifically to issue orders.
What are you implying?
As of today,
everyone started accusing Katō Ryōta of being the principal offender.
All of them together.
The parents of the boys who testified
are employed by Ogawa Urban Development.
That is the largest corporation in Musashino City.
Director, what is going on?
Step over here for a moment.
What is it?
Iguchi Nana.
From now on,
all you need to do is tell the truth.
Don't conceal it.
Just tell us what really happened.
The principal offender is
Katō Ryōta. Is that true?
Everyone says so.
How about you?
That's correct.
It was Katō.
He did it.
Miss Iguchi!
Hey.
Please think carefully.
His life is at stake.
Stop it!
Hang on...
You know that the real culprit is someone else, right?
It's fine.
Just tell the truth.
Katō...
is the culprit.
It was him
who did those terrible things to me first.
That's why the others followed suit.
How much did you spend?
What?
You must have also bought off Iguchi Nana's father with money.
While I have no idea what you are talking about,
money is undoubtedly very important.
That schoolgirl's life has fallen apart.
Her name is already known everywhere.
To start a new life,
she needs the money that you hate.
Who is the principal offender?
Is he the son of a powerful family that you would protect
even if it meant framing an innocent student?
The principal offender is...
Katō Ryōta.
There appears to be no progress
in the chief's murder case investigations.
Apparently they have not located any particularly suspicious persons.
If this continues,
Saegusa will be seen as the killer.
We must think of something.
Saegusa, come over and take a look at this.
Yes.
On the day the chief was killed,
he was in touch with former gang member, Okamoto.
However during the interrogation,
he falsely accused Saegusa of hating the chief.
That's right.
They wish to frame me as the killer.
There must be a reason for it.
From the looks of it, we will need to reinvestigate.
Senpai, please reinvestigate the chief's whereabouts
on the day he died.
Kojima, you will be responsible for checking Okamoto's background
and family members once more.
I will go to his house
and see him in person.
What about me?
Just stay here quietly. Do you hear me?
Understood.
That's the same car as before.
Yes.
Okamoto could be Chief Iwata's killer.
What do you mean?
I just remembered.
On the day the chief was killed,
I saw Okamoto's car driving off like he was running away from the scene.
Is it true?
The chief's stab wound penetrated his liver.
That is the mark of an experienced killer.
Why would Okamoto want to kill the chief?
I'm not sure.
However, I don't believe he acted alone.
It must have been at someone's orders.
But how do you prove that?
Okamoto is not the type to easily trust others.
He would have taken measures in the event he was betrayed.
Evidence such as the murder weapon or call logs
would not be kept in his own house or office.
It must be hidden elsewhere.
Somewhere no one else could find.
Where could that be?
Yes.
I have Chief Iwata's traffic records.
The day before he was killed,
he got off the expressway at Gotemba Interchange.
Three hours later, he entered the interchange once more
and returned to Tokyo.
Gotemba Interchange?
That's right.
Kojima here.
There is a villa in Gotemba under Okamoto's mother's name.
Okamoto Hiroko
They've held the title to the property since 2000.
It is possible that the chief went there.
Villa.
Sakurai.
There's no sign anyone's been here in a while.
Still, there might be some clues.
Let's split up and search.
Ok.
Did you find anything?
Nothing of use.
Let's check Okamoto's house.
Alright.
What is it?
I was just thinking...
Why did Chief Iwata come here?
After that, I immediately went to check.
It clearly was still there...
in the back courtyard.
The villa was long uninhabited.
Why didn't Okamoto sell it?
Height of 178cm. Male.
Surgical scars on the shoulder.
Ōyama Takeshi
Senpai...

There is a mole in the police organisation.
We were involved in concealing the facts.
You are the only one who can determine your own life.
Please stop working on the Musashino case.
If you go any further, you will be in danger.
I will never give up.
You can communicate with Ōyama senpai?
No matter the cost,
I must save my brother.
Translation: liddi @ D-Addicts
I believe this is more important
than solving the case.
