4 out of 5 senses...
With sound, smell, taste and touch, all lost,
working as a detective, only relying on the sense of sight,
is a man named Higurashi Tabito.
With those eyes, he can even see inside a person's heart.
That strange of a person exists.
He ran out to try to save Sakura-chan,
who, like him had been kidnapped at 5 years old.
And the expression he showed...
That time...
Why couldn't I notice the depth of that darkness?
I wasn't the only one who always regretted it afterwards.
Did you find something out?
I found out one of them is a rich kid.
He's quite a big-shot, huh?
So the son of a politician,
is the manager of a detective agency dealing with underground businesses?
Who'd have thought...
... he's the son of that Yukiji Teruyuki?
[subs by mottofreaky]
This one!
It's a pair! Yeah!
Alright...
This one!
Ah, why?!
Damn it!
She's not worth killing.
Tabito-san...
You just used your eyes, didn't you?
- I didn't . - No, you definitely did!
Papa wouldn't lie!
Huh? But!
Silence, Kamekichi!
Okay, maybe I'll join too.
Move over, Tei.
Here's someone easy to beat.
Excuse me...
Is this the detective agency?
Please don't say that. [Client - Kawabe Takeshi]
Well, our agency specialises in searching for lost items.
Like I said, I want you to search for something.
The cause.
Have some tea.
Just to confirm...
Your fiancee...
She's kind of in low spirits...
She's hesitating.
This won't bring in a cent.
Yukiji.
So, when are you getting married?
In two days.
In two days?
What?
Well...
We should have sent out an invitation...
An invitation?
To whom?
Me?
That's right.
Hang on...
The person you're marrying is...
Nishizawa Aika.
You know her well, right?
A servant?
Yes.
Aika has been working as a servant at Yukiji-san's home for a long time.
Huh? Yukiji-san's home was the kind to hire servants?
Huh?
Was it?
Yukiji-san's father is that Yukiji Teruyuki, after all.
Yukiji Teruyuki is a politician even I know!
If I know him, even a monkey knows him!
Shut up! You're right.
That 4-term elected member of the House of Councillors, Yukiji Teruyuki
is my dad!
He has a lot of radical remarks and rivals,
but he's popular among many,
his image colour is blue!
His catchphrase is:
I'll sweep the nation for everyone's sake!
AH! He's an irritating guy.
And yet you'll tell us so much about him.
I've heard so much about him,
I've hated him for forever! Understand?
Don't ask any more.
So... what about the request?
Right. I'm sorry, but you just weren't meant to be.
[Lost Items Detective Agency]
Is it really okay?
Huh? What are you talking about?
I saw emotions of nostalgia, love,
and regret mixed together show up, though.
I told you not to use your eyes for pointless stuff!
- I didn't use them. - You just said you could see it.
I just gave it a shot.
I just can't win.
Aika-san, huh?
Since my earliest memory,
she was already a live-in worker.
I acted like a baby, going "Aika-nee, Aika-nee!"
Then...
All the more reason to accept the request.
I've never told you this, Aniki...
There's another person...
... who I called 'Aniki'.
Aika-nee was dating that Aniki, who passed away.
He was 12 years older, and my half-brother.
I called him Katsu-nii.
At the time, my parents had already separated,
so Katsu-nii and Aika-nee were my replacement parents.
Oh yeah.
This is from Katsu-nii, too.
But...
16 years ago...
Katsu-nii suddenly left home.
We didn't find the remains but based on the situation,
it was probably suicide.
Aika-nee got terribly worn out...
That's why...
Her getting over Katsu-nii's death,
and getting married,
made me really happy.
The more I hear...
I don't think there's any reason to refuse.
No...
If we see each other...
Those painful memories from back then will come back...
In any case, let's go see her once.
- I'm telling you, I'm not going. - Okay.
I'm looking forward to seeing the estate.
I said I'm not going! Oi!
Aniki, I'm not going!
There was another reason Higurashi-san wanted to go to Yukiji-san's house.
But we remained unaware.
And little by little...
... we started being dragged into a big vortex.
Huh? A kidnapping?
Yes. 20 years ago.
When he was 5, Higurashi Tabito was the victim of a kidnapping case.
The culprit hasn't been caught yet.
And after, his parents died in a traffic accident.
Do you know what that means?
Huh? Um...
Ah!
Basically...
I'll catch the culprit of that kidnapping case, won't I?
And obviously, that detective will be grateful, right?
Yes.
As a reward,
by sharing information on the yakuza
that detective agency is involved with,
the ones we're dealing with now--
It'll be a start on taking down the drug smuggling route.
If you get it, take a memo now.
Yes. Oh...
I can't take my hands away right now.
Oh, Masuko.
So you really are a man?
It's too much trouble to tell you every time, but that's sexual harassment.
You smell!
Shiraishi-san, are you drunk?
Just saying... [Bokutoh Police: Deputy Chief Shiraishi Takanori]
I'm not on duty, okay?
Then what are you doing?
I missed the last train,
and couldn't go home.
Want some?
Kibidango from Kibiko-ya.
Huh?
A bell?
Where?
Huh?
Where is it coming from?
Huh? Where is it? A bell?
Masa-bou! [Kawabe's fiancee - Nishizawa Aika]
It's been so long!
Yeah. Open it for me.
Oh... Masa-bou.
Come in.
Woah!
Awesome!
What is this?
Awesome...
Your friends?
Introduce me.
His henchman, Kamekichi.
I'm another henchman, Tabito.
You guys...
That's surprising.
In what way?
Back then, Masa-bou would never associate with people taller than him.
You didn't have to say that.
Are you drinking milk?
I drink milk. I eat dried sardines, too!
Even so,
your face is as square as ever.
So you're happy, then?
Huh?
Just be that bright at your wedding and have fun.
What do you mean?
Kawabe-san? He was worried.
He said maybe you don't really want to marry him.
If there's a problem, I can hear you out.
Masa-bou...
Can we meet up after work today?
Yeah. Of course.
No no, when it comes to that, please leave it to our judgment.
Yes.
Hey, hey, hey!
That's Yukiji Teruyuki, right?
- We're going. - I want to take a photo!
Shut up. Stop.
Masahiko.
- Let's go. - What's that?
This is the first time you're home in years. Stay for a while.
No... I've done what I had to do.
Come on, Aniki.
Aniki!
Oh yeah!
Hey.
Yes.
Money!
How much?
Money... Money!
Money!
Here, you must have all sorts of necessities.
Money!
What's with this?
Let me do something father-like once in a while.
I don't need it.
I see.
Then...
Money!
To celebrate your marriage.
- Huh? - I'm sorry I can't attend the ceremony,
but congratulations.
Oh... Thank you.
Hello? Sorry about that.
Let's go.
Aniki!
These were sent out of the blue 2 weeks ago.
They're wedding bears!
You know about them?
They're toys you gift for a wedding.
So... what is this?
The sender...
... sent it using my name, for some reason.
That's a bit creepy.
Do you have any guesses as to who it is?
I thought...
It's probably Katsuhiko-san.
Katsu-nii did it?
A long time ago, we saw it on TV together.
A feature on wedding bears.
Back then...
We said that one day,
we'd like to have a wedding and receive toys like that.
Are you saying he's alive?
That's right.
When I realised that...
It wouldn't leave my mind.
If his disappearance 16 years ago,
was my fault, what should I do?
If without my knowing,
I hurt or made Katsuhiko-san worry...
I'm so scared that I'll do the same thing to Kawabe-kun...
No... You're over-thinking it.
Katsu-nii died because of my dad.
Huh?
Because he put more pressure on him than needed to succeed his electoral support.
That's why...
He couldn't endure it any more.
But Katsuhiko-san respected Teruyuki-san!
No.
I know.
But...
Wait, this...
You can get mad if I'm wrong...
What is it?
I can see love from this stuffed toy.
And the shape of that love,
is the same shape I saw from Yukiji's encyclopaedia of sayings.
Huh?
So...
I think both of them were given by the same person with their love.
Um...
Did you...
... just say you could see emotions?
Ah, yes.
I can see them.
That's enough.
Don't use your eyes for pointless stuff.
It's about my precious friend's precious brother.
I don't think it's pointless.
Look.,
If you lose your eyes,
you won't be able to feel anything anymore!
You know what that means, right?
And...
I've already...
... had enough, losing one Aniki.
You might not even have lost one.
Katsuhiko-san must be alive.
Alright, Yukiji?
It's because I have these eyes,
that I don't want to miss seeing what I want to see.
So please...
Can you let me see you reuniting with your brother?
What time's the ceremony tomorrow?
2 in the afternoon.
Then we have to go on the first train.
It's privately managed, and they don't even have online sales.
That way!
It's likely that the sender bought it directly from the shop.
[The Doll Corporation]
Good morning!
Hmm...
I don't quite remember him.
But I think it's rare for a man to buy a stuffed toy.
No...
Men usually come by themselves to buy presents.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of help.
Aniki?
I can see some kind of sign from this stand.
If you're using your eyes, tell me.
I used them.
Sorry, can we move this?
- Yes, that's fine. - Yukiji.
There's nothing here.
I can see the signs from your house from this 5 yen coin too.
- Is it Katsu-nii's? - No...
I don't know yet.
But...
I can see smells.
Smells? Of what?
Fat, kelp, dried fish...
Garlic, ginger, green onion.
It seems like...
You could make a seafood ramen with that.
That's it, ramen!
This 5 yen coin came from a ramen shop.
The smell of scum looks quite strong,
I think it's probably a shop that does a rough job.
Tell me where the worst ramen shop around here is.
Huh?
Hello, Kawabe-kun?
Where are you?
Sorry.
I was just in Minami-Numazu.
Aika...
If you don't like me,
just say it.
I love you.
I want to be with you forever,
so there's something I want to set straight.
Hello?
We'll make it in time for the ceremony so let it slide. Okay?
Also, I'm sending two others,
if there's a problem, use them.
Elcom!
(Welcome!)
Um, hey...
Have you seen this person?
One ramen, fried rice set!
- I'm beat. - What do we do?
What do we do...
This magazine.
This is me.
What?
Wait, why?
It's the photo I had taken when I went to try on dresses.
Someone saw this photo here, found out Aika-san was getting married,
and sent a stuffed toy.
But there's no proof it's Katsu-nii.
Hey, you can't!
You've been using your eyes the whole time.
Calm down. Without using the power of my eyes,
there's plenty I can find out just by being attentive.
For example?
For example...
Something like this.
Something about this photo?
These creases...
That's the way Katsu-nii folds them.
Prease com agen!
Masa-bou?
He's alive.
Katsu-nii is alive.
You're right.
He's alive.
That's great!
It's not.
Huh?
If he's alive...
Why did he disappear and leave me behind?
You're right. After the kidnapping incident,
I was temporarily responsible for his guardian.
Is there anything you remember about him?
He didn't cry, didn't laugh either.
It felt like emotions had completely left him.
With a later examination, we found out he lost all senses other than sight.
Have you met Higurashi Tabito's parents?
Oh...
His murdered parents?
They were murdered?
Huh? It wasn't an accident?
There was a rumour among the police
that it's a murder camouflaged as an accident.
Why did they need to be killed?
I don't know...
But,
his father was a private secretary to a politician...
He might have been caught up in trouble about that?
On a side note...
Who was he a secretary for?
Member of the House of Councillors, Yukiji Teruyuki.
Higurashi Tabito's father was Yukiji Teruyuki's secretary?
- Nice shot! Amazing! - A phone call, sir.
[Masahiko]
Masahiko?
What's wrong?
Huh?
So...
Tell me if there's anything you know.
If you're looking for Katsuhiko's grave,
- it's in Hachioji... - That's not it!
If he's alive, where he might be...
Doesn't anything come to mind?
What's that?
Are you drunk?
Figures. I shouldn't have bothered calling you.
I don't know what you're doing,
but don't do anything unnecessary.
Unnecessary?
I'm hanging up.
You're right, it is unnecessary.
You held such a grand, tear-jerking funeral.
It'd be a problem if he were alive now, right?
That's not what I meant.
I haven't forgotten.
Even though Katsu-nii's body hadn't been found,
you were insistent on holding a funeral at once.
Why?
Because it was the middle of an election.
You played the tragic politician who lost his son,
and turned around an unfavourable situation.
You...
... used Katsu-nii's death as feed for the election!
It appears I've raised quite an imaginative man.
I'm glad.
Should we tell them she's running late?
Um... Kawabe-san?
Aika is 10 years older than me.
My parents are old-fashioned.
We fought over their disapproval of the age difference,
and somehow managed to make it here.
If they just knew she was late...
He might get violent.
That's an exaggeration.
Yo! Kenya!
'Til here, huh?
I'm sorry, Aika-nee.
Let's go back.
Yeah.
Hello!
Elcom!
What's wrong, Aniki?
Ah, well...
I can see the same shapes of emotions from that person.
Same emotion?
The same emotion on the stuffed toy and encyclopaedia of sayings.
That means...
Um...
Sorry if I'm wrong.
I saw Katsuhiko-san's love on that woman.
I think...
She must be Katsuhiko-san's current girlfriend or wife.
The name of the shop was written.
Shall we go and see?
Ahh, this will definitely be found out!
Kamekichi, hurry up and do it!
I'm sorry. For now, just for the photo.
Aika should be here by the ceremony.
But still...
Can't you do something about those broad shoulders?!
- It's a dead giveaway! - There's no point telling me that!
Ah, crap!
You've done it!
- What are you doing? - Safety pin!
This is it.
Only the Indian part-timer was there again.
Over there?
If the boss makes it properly, it's the best ramen in the world.
- Papa? - Yeah?
Let's play catch?
You wanna play now?
Just a bit.
Okay, let's do it.
Okay, go on.
- Throw it straight. - He looks like Katsu-nii.
Will you talk to him?
What do you want to do?
I'm sure he doesn't remember about us.
That's not true. There's no way he would forget.
That's not it.
I want him to forget.
Katsuhiko-san wanted to disappear enough to pretend to die, right?
Then...
It's make me happier if he was satisfied with his life now
so that he doesn't remember about us.
There!
I told you to throw straight!
I'm sorry! Thank you.
Okay, those on the edges, please move slightly closer to the centre.
Please move so that you can see the camera's lens.
Umm...
Bride, we can't see your face, so the veil...
Her makeup smeared with her tears,
so she wants to take it like this.
It's true.
Everyone in our family is easily moved to tears.
- Kenya! - Yes?
Aika-san...
... got more... built since the last time we met.
Hasn't she got a nice physique now?
Ah... Yeah.
Okay. I'm taking the photo!
Ready...
Even if you're crying, smile!
I never thought...
... Masa-bou would become a detective.
Yeah.
How many months did it take you to find me?
About 5 hours.
Just like my younger brother.
I'm sorry...
For sending a measly stuffed toy after all this time...
It just caused you trouble.
If it did, I wouldn't come find you.
No...
I was being selfish.
I guess I have to say why I did something like that.
Well, if you don't want to... It's not really...
I was young.
Thinking about it now, that's how it is.
Of course, our dad,
but the head of his committee too,
asked me to follow in his footsteps.
But I knew myself that I wasn't suited to be a politician.
That's why...
I understand why you wanted to run...
But--
I was convinced I couldn't escape dad's shadow.
I was young...
... and weak, I think.
You should have just discussed it with us.
You're too kind.
If I discussed it with you, you would have worried with me.
Obviously.
I didn't want to see someone important to me worried.
What the heck?
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Let's not apologise.
It looks like we're both happy, after all.
You're right.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
- Hey, did you really-- - Oh yeah.
I have one request.
What is it?
I'm now someone without a family register.
If my background is exposed, I might not be able to keep living the way I am.
That's why...
Um...
Please don't come here anymore.
Please.
I want to have quiet life with my wife and son.
Alright.
Sorry we took so long.
It's fine.
Please.
Can you use your eyes for me?
Huh?
I shouldn't make you use your eyes.
But...
I want to know.
Whether or not Katsu-nii is lying.
I'd like you to see.
If he's really happy.
If he doesn't regret it.
If not, I...
Um, I...
I'm working as a detective with Yukiji-kun...
I'm sorry about this...
You got involved in something troublesome.
Not at all.
Just for the sake of it...
My name is Higurashi Tabito.
Higurashi?
My name is Higurashi Tabito.
Higurashi?
Then...
Excuse me.
How was it?
He wasn't lying.
Really?
That's good.
Then...
Let's go.
Bride, Nishizawa Aika.
Do you promise to cherish the love you've borne thus far even more,
and to build a warm family?
I do.
Say it louder!
- Please exchange-- - Say it louder!
Now, please exchange rings!
Ah, give it to me.
Take that, asshole!
Why isn't that Kamekichi answering?
Anyway, let's go back.
Look, it's here.
Aniki.
Aniki?
Sorry, can you go ahead?
Are you okay?
I used my eyes a bit too much and got tired.
Sorry.
It's totally my fault.
It's alright.
I'll be fine if I rest a bit.
- No, but... - Yukiji.
Next, for Aika-san to be happy,
you have to properly send her off.
I'm fine.
I won't lie to you.
Alright.
Then let's go.
Now everyone, this is your shutter chance!
Kamekichi, do it!
Like I thought...
You're the son of the secretary Higurashi Eiichi.
Yes.
I was surprised.
Does Masahiko know about that?
Of course, he knows.
Is that so?
I just had the opportunity to see your emotions.
Huh?
See?
When I said my name was Higurashi...
Strong regret, fear and a loss of spirit...
A number of emotions like that rose up at the same time, didn't they?
Uh, yes...
That's why I came back.
There should be something you want to say.
About my father.
Papa!
It's long over.
Kawabe-kun...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Have you sorted out your feelings?
Yes.
I see.
Then that's good.
Alright, you two.
Sorry but do one more thing for me.
- Huh? - Huh?
Okay, stay like that.
Is there a point to this?
You're a pretty good cross.
She's heavy, hurry up!
Okay. Keep.
Then, thank you for waiting.
Now... Aika-nee...
Have you settled your past?
Yes.
Then...
Um...
It's Kawabe.
Kawabe-san.
Will you forgive your bride who ruined your wedding?
Of course.
What was that?
- Why did you hesitate for a second? - No...
I forgive her, but...
It was tough, so...
There will be more tough things from now on, you idiot!
Why am I being scolded?
Cause I want Aika-nee to be happy, obviously!
Well that...
I'll do that without you telling me.
Oh, really?
Yes.
I'll treasure her.
Hey...
You know...
No treasuring your treasured one too much,
and worrying on your own, alright?
Getting hurt together, getting stuck...
I want you to struggle together.
If you keep it to yourself,
Aika-nee too...
... will end up worrying if she can be of help.
It's easy to laugh together.
I want you to be a couple who can cry together.
Yes.
Thank you, Masa-bou.
But you too, okay?
You have to treasure friends like that too.
Uh...
Now, the exchange of rings...
Oh no!
- Huh? - What?
It's here.
But I can't get it off.
What?
- Take it off. - What do I do?
Take it off. Please take it off. Quickly!
What are you doing, seriously?!
Masa-bou, that hurts!
Don't call me Masa-bou!
Here, thanks for waiting.
Yes, thank you for waiting.
What case is it about?
Sorry.
20 years ago,
you investigated Yukiji Teruyuki's secretary Higurashi Eiichi
and his wife's passing in a traffic incident, right?
It's already been so long since I retired.
In the condition you don't answer honestly,
I, with the most written apologies for illegal arrests in the jurisdiction...
... will relentlessly and scrupulously investigate this restaurant's business license's validity.
Is that okay?
I thought that was strange.
Even though there was a request for an autopsy, it was ignored.
But later, when I heard he was Yukiji Teruyuki's secretary,
and he got in trouble about the Yamada diary...
Yamada diary?
Oh?
You don't know about it?
At the time there was a journalist called Yamada Kaisei...
He had a reputation for exposing every darkness.
In that diary,
politics, economics, police, yakuza...
there was information that could arrest a few influential people from each world packed in.
And how is that related to Higurashi Eiichi?
I supposed Higurashi Eiichi and Yamada were close.
Then, those 2 died at the same time.
Any more...
I don't know.
I'm back.
Aniki. You weren't coming back, I was so worried.
I tried contacting all sorts of places.
Sorry, sorry.
I'm fine. Go to sleep.
Aniki.
Thanks for everything this time.
And...
I'm really sorry for causing you all kinds of trouble.
Instead of 'sorry'...
... it makes me happier to be told 'thank you'.
That's more than enough.
Aniki... Don't go anywhere.
That was weird.
Sorry.
Night.
Good night.
Do you know of the journalist Yamada Kaisei?
Yes.
This diary...
... was handed to me by Yamada-san to give to your father.
So you had it.
Did you know about this diary?
I thought it was hidden somewhere in the estate.
I even did preliminary checks to sneak in.
Right after this was passed on to me...
Yamada-san...
... and Higurashi-san both passed away.
Since then, I've always been worrying about what to do with it...
But it's probably best to entrust it to you.
However...
In here, many people's many crimes are written.
And among them, about my father too.
The wicked people written of in this diary...
... won't face any punishment in the future, either,
and continue exploiting us, right?
When I realised that...
I felt completely fed up with life.
That is...
... the real reason I disappeared.
If you're going to read it...
Prepare yourself before you do.
Not to worry.
I prepared myself long ago.
The moment I realised the reason we met
was all a result of hatred,
would still be a little further in the future.
At this time, we were split into those who knew nothing,
and those who knew too much.
And I...
... was one who meant to know, but knew nothing.
