An accident caused me to suffer from brain damage.
And for some reason I can now see everybody's secrets.
Would you please accept me as your adviser.
What's with her?
I see. Not to be rude, but why me?
Ohata Kenichiro
Lower House Member
People with evil minds...
I saw that someone is trying to deceive you.
That's perfect! I kinda like her.
We appreciate your thoughts...
...but he would never need someone like you-
Support group leader, Gouda-san.
Gouda Shinji
Support Group Leader
You're using your position as support group leader...
...to divert some of his political funds into your own company, right?
What, that is absurd!
I can see everything. And next...
...Taoka-san.
Taoka Haruki
First Secretary
There is someone near you, someone who doesn't think well of you.
Very soon you will be killed...
...by that person.
Killed? How could that be realistic?
Is that so, I wonder?
Kuramoto Susumu
Second Secretary
Anyway, you will need my power.
To all available units.
3 months later
A security guard has reportedly found a collapsed man in a back alley.
Said man was identified as Taoka Haruki.
It's this building's security guard who was the first one to find him.
He was on his morning patrol when he found the dead body.
This rain is annoying.
There's blood on it. He must have been hit by that pipe.
Probably so.
But why did this person come here in the first place?

EP 2: MPD General Affairs Clerk Hitomi's Big Prediction
Last night, Lower House member Ohata Kenichiro's secretary...
...Taoka Haruka was found murdered and there is one woman...
...who predicted Taoka's murder three months prior to the incident.
I've tried to warn him several times.
You will be killed by someone very close to you.
Do you know who did it?
Yes.
However, since that could reflect discredit on the people at the police...
...I don't intend to say anything here on TV.
Can you tell us how you're...
- ...predicting the future? - It derailed!
Breath.
Man, isn't she amazing, that Minagawa Shoko.
If only we had someone like her at the police, that would be a great help.
Every person is emitting a breath from his body that is invisible to the naked eye.
By sensing that breath, I can see their true self.
That way, I can predict what's going to happen in the near future.
Has the late Taoka-san...
...gotten himself into any kind of trouble or anything like that recently?
It was his job to go around and fix trouble.
I see.
You recently have a suspicious woman...
...by the name of Minagawa Shoko often come by your office, don't you?
Yes, I'm having her consult me on official and personal matters.
Don't tell me, you believe in her powers...
Her powers are real.
Of course, I also didn't believe her at first.
However, she actually managed to expose...
...all of the secrets happening around me.
First, she told me about my support group leader Gouda-san...
...and his appropriation of our political funds.
After looking into it, it was exactly as she said.
I immediately fired him.
However, Taoka-san refused to believe anything she said.
If he had believed her and were more alert...
...he might have been able to protect himself.
That's just stupid. He maybe a Diet member and all, but still.
- Senpai, Senpai. - Ah, Kuroiwa-san.
Yes?
Forensics found this at the scene of the murder.
What's that?
Maybe something the murderer dropped.
Here.
- What is that? - Beats me.
Some candy?
How long are they gonna keep us, the police waiting.
Inexcusable.
Maybe they're planning something.
We're sorry for the wait. Please, come.
Minagawa-san, you...
...allegedly predicted Taoka-san's murder.
Yes, I also know who did it.
I'm sorry, but we're not the kind of people to believe such a...
- Shall I show you? - Show us what?
Let me expose your secret right here.
Interesting, go ahead.
Kuroiwa-san, you're using police money...
...to frequent an establishment with a lot of women.
Something called a hostess club?
- She's just asking leading questions. - I know.
Where did you go three nights ago?
In Akasaka, "Navy...
Five days ago you went to Roppongi.
It was called "Dream...
- That's enough. - Kuroiwa-san...
Someone is going to complain about those things to your higher ups.
Who...
...would that be?
You'll know very soon.
You're going to receive a call from that person.
Scary, scary...
- That woman is the real deal. - Don't be ridiculous.
But she got so many things right.
What?
Hello.
MPD, General Affairs Department, Accounting, Nakano Hitomi speaking.
About the receipts from three days ago of an Akasaka Navy Blue...
...and another establishment called Dream Queen Roppongi from five days ago...
There is something I need to confirm.
Akasaka Navy Blue? I heard that before.
That's him! The person to tell on me!
- Who is it? - Nakano.
But why is she asking me about those?
I had to make it look like you were with me.
You have to tame that women! You hear!
- Hold on a second! - You don't want to get fired, right?
- We're in the same boat, got it? - We're not, hey!
Dream Queen... hello?
Ah hello, Nakano-kun?
Not suspicious.
Suspicious.
Not suspicious.
- Not suspicious, not suspicious. - Nakano-kun.
Suspicious.
Not suspicious.
It's about those, some things seem suspicious.
More importantly, how about that? Let's have dinner tonight.
Suspicious.
Seriously, though. How come you're suddenly asking me out?
You helped me a lot with that case the other day.
I never really got to thank you for that.
You can order anything you like.
Okay.
That looks so good...
Your filet mignon and foie gras, Tournedos Rossini.
Enjoy your meal.
8,900 Yen...
Excuse me, that one is too much, I guess.
It's fine, let's order it.
Why not?
Excuse me.
So good!
Good, I'm glad.
Ah, gimme just a second.
- Hello. - So, how's the situation?
- Well, so-so. - That's not good enough, you hear me?
Our fate depends on it, our fate!
Well, I'll manage somehow. Speaking of which, that's not gonna be cheap!
Hey!
- Forgive me. - The hell are you doing? Gimme a break!
I'm so sorry. I'll get you a new one immediately.
Listen, those receipts you mentioned before.
They're for a secret investigation of Kuroiwa-san and I.
I'd prefer you not to report it for now.
No, no, that doesn't mean...
...I brought you here just to tell you that.
That Minagawa Shoko is no diviner or anything like that.
She's just a swindler.
- I'm sure of it now. - What are you talking about?
I saw about her on TV...
...and wanted to check for myself whether her power is real or not.
So I went there before you...
...and pretended to want a consultation in order to meet her.
When you go, first thing they do is keep you in a waiting room.
Please wait here.
I thought that maybe she has a microphone installed in there somewhere.
While listening in to the conversations of those waiting...
...she then pretends to know about your secrets.
A typical fraud.
So, I did a little experiment.
I talked about a lot of stuff concerning you an Kuroiwa-san.
It's about the receipts from First Division's Kuroiwa-san and Togawa-san.
Now matter how you look at them, they're suspicious.
Three days ago Akasaka Navy Blue, on February 19th Dream Queen Roppongi.
There are a few more like those.
I guess it's better I report those to our higher ups.
If there really is a microphone somewhere...
...she's definitely going to use it during your guys' talk, I thought.
Then, that's exactly what happened...
...thus you brought me here to put me in a good mood.
- So you used us as guinea pigs. - Yes.
But thanks to the experiment, we now know that she's a bogus.
You should have told me sooner!
- At least before ordering that. - Enjoy your meal.
At that time I wasn't yet convinced that I'm right.
Seriously, stop messing with me.
Isn't it you who asked me out here...
...so that those receipts would disappear?
Maybe that wasn't so wrong after all and I should in fact tell on you to the higher ups.
That looks tasty!
- It sure does. - Let's order that and another bottle of wine.
Let's do that. Excuse me!
Two more bottles, please.
Oh, look at you.
Maybe I drank a little too much.
Never trust others.
That's what I learned from my father, a swindler.
A swindler can never trust others. You can never fall in love.
Good morning.
Thank you for the wonderful meal last night.
Why are you here?
I just thought I should thank you for last night in person.
And I knew that you'd come here first thing in the morning to confirm the hidden microphone.
- Let's go. - Don't order me around!
Please wait here for a little while.
Oh, so you were close acquaintances.
We found this in the waiting room.
A concealed microphone.
Don't know, never seen that before.
Who is to say you didn't prepare that yourself?
The rosary in this picture...
...are you always wearing that one?
I haven't since a few days ago.
Somebody must have stolen it.
Broken pieces of this rosary were found at the murder scene of Taoka-san.
His estimated... huh?
His estimated time of death was between 10 and 11 pm on February 23rd.
Where have you been during that time?
On February 23rd, between 10 and 11...
It appears I was on my way back here.
Is there anyone who can verify that?
When I passed by Tsujiyama Park...
...I happened to run into former support group leader, Gouda-san.
Although I don't know remember the details.
I'm sorry to disappoint, but that's impossible.
Another investigator already inquired Gouda-san about said time...
...and he had been at his workplace for the whole time.
His employee, Morikawa-san testified that.
I'd like you to accompany me to the MPD.
I heard that you have an arrest warrant for Minagawa Shoko.
We do, and we have evidence.
- Am I right, Aono-kun? - Yes, her...
Parts of what appear to be from her rosary...
- ...were found at the crime scene by me. - Moreover...
Moreover she gave us an false alibi.
She and Taoka-kun definitely weren't on the best of terms.
However, as far as I can tell, she has always been right about the things she said.
Right, Kuramoto-kun?
Kuramoto!
Yes.
Minagawa Shoko is an important asset of mine!
I want you to give her back, at once!
Togawa-san!
Something is bothering me.
The rosary found at the scene...
...someone must have placed them there on purpose.
What?
Assuming that the murderer prepared the iron pipe as his murder weapon...
...he must have called Taoka-san there with the sole intention of killing him right from the start, right?
Wait a second, how do you know the murder weapon was an iron pipe?
I saw it in the news.
The murder weapon was never announced to the press.
Don't tell me you looked at my notes again.
I'd never.
Didn't you have it with you all the time?
Aren't you...
...of the impression that the murderer must be someone else as well?
The victim was killed with a blow to the back of his head.
There are no traces of a fight.
So why would something like a rosary break?
I find that very odd.
However, why is it that Minagawa Shoko...
...gave us such a fake alibi?
It could also be Gouda-san's side that's lying...
Watch out!
Excuse me, regulations require you to wear helmets.
Ah, sure.
We will also take care of your luggage.
- Right. - Excuse me.
You as well.
Detective.
I'm sorry for making you come here.
MPD, General Affairs Department, Accounting, I'm Nakano Hitomi.
Tomita, lead them to building C.
Alright, let me show you to building C.
Thanks for your time. It's about Minagawa Shoko.
She says that she met you at Tsujiyama Park on the night of the incident.
- Does that ring a bell? - No.
I have no idea why she would tell you such a stupid lie.
That night, Morikawa-kun and I spent the whole evening sorting through work-related stuff at my company.
Am I right, Morikawa-kun?
Yes.
Is that true?
Even if your boss told you to lie...
...it would not be beneficial for you.
Nobody is lying here.
I know that you bear a grudge against Minagawa.
However, if it's true and you have indeed met Minagawa Shoko at Tsujiyama Park.
Means that she's innocent.
I have nothing else to discuss with you.
Right, why don't you have a look around here, especially after coming all the way.
It's not complete yet, but even Ohata-sensei...
...is highly anticipating this area's revitalization once complete.
- Morikawa-kun, show them around. - Sure.
Please.
President Gouda is definitely lying.
We might have made a terrible mistake.
Even so, why did he make us especially come here and show us an unfinished construction site?
Then, how does 120 million Yen sound to you?
Understood, that's a deal. Goodbye.
I'm sorry, I had to take that call.
I happened to overhear it at the MPD, the murder of Ohata-sensei's secretary?
I heard they arrested a Minagawa Shoko.
And it appears that it was Minagawa Shoko's fault...
...that Ohata-sensei fired you as his support group leader, right?
Yes.
Well then let us file a lawsuit and claim damages from this woman!
- A lawsuit? - That woman drove you out.
And then she killed Taoka-san.
She is without a doubt preying upon Ohata-sensei.
Now is the time to take action for justice!
No, you see, I'm ashamed to admit it but my illegal appropriation of his political funds is the truth.
No, that's... That's not important.
Have a seat.
Listen, that woman is a murderer.
You, on the other hand, are a praiseworthy person who has spent his life building a company and supporting Ohata-sensei.
Who do you think the world trusts more?
But what if she actually didn't do it?
You see, they arrested her because they have solid evidence.
Sensei.
Actually, there is another matter I'd like to discuss with you.
Go ahead.
First you have to promise me something. You can never betray me.
In my whole life...
...I've never once betrayed someone.
- Chika-chan. - Yes?
Can you go and buy our precious guest an ohagi from the station?
Suure.
So, what is this about?
Truth is, Minagawa Shoko isn't the murderer.
She does have an alibi.
I denied it in front of the police, but at the time of the murder...
...I did meet her at Tsujiyama Park.
More than just meet her...
...I wanted to discipline her for everything she said.
While having a talk with her, I was really furious...
...an kicked a billboard attached to a tree, breaking it.
It apparently had been freshly painted and so the paint...
...ended up on my shoes.
Sensei, in order for the police not to find out about that, can you go...
...and repair that billboard as well as dispose of my shoes?
It would also be the best for Ohata-sensei...
...for her to be arrested and as far away from him as possible.
Please.
I'm a lawyer, my name is Shirai Shinnosuke.
If you let me...
...I can get you out of here immediately.
Minagawa-san, on the evening of the murder...
...you met Gouda-san at the Tsujiyama Park, didn't you?
Yes, but it seems like he's denying the fact.
Of course he does, he detests you after all.
Speaking of which, while he was filled with rage, didn't he like kick off something or anything like that?
Now that you mention it, there was a...
- ...sign of sorts. - Sign? A billboard?
- Are you certain? - Yes.
I'm going to get you out of here, right now!
You can leave it all to Shirai Shinnosuke.
Those are President Gouda's shoes.
As you can see, there is paint on the tip.
That paint got on there, when he was kicking off a billboard at Tsujiyama Park.
I confirmed it with the manufacturer and said billboard was painted on...
...on the evening of the murder of Taoka-san.
Which means that he must have kicked that billboard...
...on the evening of the same day.
This confirms Minagawa Shoko's testimony.
If you think that's a lie, feel free to properly examine the park.
She...
...is innocent!
Minagawa Shoko is coming out!
Minagawa Shoko, who was arrested for the murder of Taoka Haruki, is now being released.
She is currently walking to her car. Minagawa-san, could we please get a comment!?
I don't wanna be in First Division now.
I'm glad I'm not a detective.
Is this nationwide? Which one? Nationwide?
This is definite proof of the police's incompetence and arrogance.
I strongly protest against the police...
...and will not fail to claim damages on behalf of Minagawa Shoko.
That's all.
Aono-kun, our police has completely lost face.
What should we do in order to apologize to Ohata-sensei...
I will dispose of the detectives in charge of this case immediately.
This is bad, this is so bad.
It was you who brought her in.
But wasn't it you who couldn't hold his tongue and tried to make it look like his lone achievement!
What was that?
Yes, Togawa speaking.
Minagawa Shoko said that she wants to meet us.
There's a disturbance in their breath.
For the trouble we caused you...
We hereby apologize.
No, I caused you a lot of trouble as well.
If I had remembered more details about the run-in I had with Gouda-san on the night of the murder...
...you two wouldn't had to have lose your face like that.
Well, if you say it like that.
As a way to apologize, I decided to help you two by delivering you an achievement.
- Achievement? - I already said it before...
...but I know who killed Taoka-san.
Even when I'm not trying...
...I can't help but see everyone's secrets.
We don't have to rely on such a power.
We...
We would appreciate that.
The murderer is the second...
No, the now first secretary, Kuramoto-san.
I saw in him that he's a very ambitious person.
If Taoka-san were to disappaer, he would become the first secretary.
That's why he killed him and made it look like I did it.
- Excuse me. - Shit...
That asshole of a lawyer betrayed me.
You shouldn't have lied to the police in the first place.
That woman has to be the murderer.
You see, Kuramoto-san.
Even now I care a lot about Ohata-sensei's well-being.
He may be still young and lacking, but these days it's very rare...
...to find someone with ideals like him.
I can't just stand by and watch how that woman is preying upon him.
Kuramoto-san, you...
You're not actually glad about his death, are you?
Why would I?
With Taoka-san dead, you're now the first secretary.
Please don't say such foolish things.
Isn't that right?
Don't tell me, it was you who actually killed him!?
Stop it, will you.
- Look into my eyes and... - I am, I'm looking.
Come on, Gouda-san!
I'm gonna drive you home, since I don't drink.
Okay, be careful with your head. Come one, get in. Your feet.
- Sorry for being a drunkard. - Yeah, right, I'm closing the door.
We have to do something about that woman...
Minagawa Shoko.
No matter how, we have to drive her out.
It's your responsiblity.
Water... Can I get some water?
Just gimme a second.
The way it is now, its breath is stagnant and no good.
You need to plant a tulip tree at the road facing this square.
And if there was some kind of water installation in its center...
...I think its breath should improve remarkably.
Thank you so much. Kuramoto, let them know asap.
- Kuramoto! - Ah, yes.
Is something the matter?
I'd like you to stay away from him from now on.
Ever since you came, he's been becoming strange!
Who are you to say that after killing Taoka-san?
Am I next?
Excuse me?!
What the hell do you want from him?!
- Help! Somebody! - What do you think you're doing?!
This man wants to kill me!
I don't! The hell are you saying?!
Ohata-sensei has had the plan to build a huge sports center in his home town for a while now.
But on closer inspection, it's obvious that it would exceed its initial budget.
It's doubtful to begin with whether that would gain any profits at all!
I opposed his plan and told him that it would be of not interest to the locals.
But that woman...
...told him that he should carry his plan forward right away.
He immediately agreed with her.
I knew that if I don't do something...!
Enough, be quiet for second.
Want me to explain again?
You killed first secretary Taoka-san...
...and tried to put the crime on Minagawa Shoko.
You wanted to keep Ohata-sensei to yourself and advance your career.
However, now that she has a perfect alibi...
...you became furious and tried to kill her too.
That is ridiculous!
We searched your car and this is what came up.
The rosary used by Minagawa Shoko.
Broken pieces of said rosary were found at the scene of Taoka-san's murder.
That way it would look like she did it.
I've never seen that before!
That woman must have put that in my car to set me up!
And how so?
Has she ever been in your car before?
- Did you go on a ride together? - No...
That mask guy...
He basically confessed! Alright, case solved!
We somehow avoided getting fired, huh?
Something doesn't feel right.
Everything turned out exactly as she said.
I feel like we were simply manipulated by her.
You're a very interesting person.
Finding out about the trick with the microphone was impressive.
Still, my powers are real.
I can see all of your secrets.
Wanna give it a try?
Go ahead.
You actually wanted to become a detective, right?
But you couldn't.
The reason is that you were worried that they would check your family background.
Your father was a criminal. Am I right?
A cowardly swindler on top of that.
After making full use of you for being a child...
...he threw you away and has been on the run from the police ever since.
- Hello, am I speaking to Togawa-san? - Yeah, what's up?
Have you arrested Kuramoto-san?
No, not yet. We'll have the arrest warrant very soon.
Kuramoto-san isn't the murderer.
- Someone else is behind it. - What?
I'm going to confirm it now!
Well then, ready to go?
What?
Wait here.
You're from the police, right? Is something the matter?
You're the mastermind behind everything, aren't you?
Minagawa Shoko is simply being manipulated by you.
What are you talking about?
Just now, Shoko-san suddenly popped up before me...
...and started talking about my secrets.
You know, it was so off the mark that I got really surprised.
My father being a swindler. Me wanting to become a detective.
I know I heard those stories somewhere before.
Those were quoted word for word from this notebook.
You see, those are my crazy ideas. Everything in there is some random stuff.
But why would Shoko-san know about those...
...and say that those are my secrets? Isn't that strange?
Then I realized that somebody must have glanced at my notes and conveyed them to her.
That's... That's some interesting reasoning...
...but isn't that just another crazy idea like those notes?
No, it's not a crazy idea.
I found this between the pages.
I did some research and that's the same fine dust as on this construction site.
Shoko-san's collaborator must have stole a glance at my notebook right here.
When Togawa-san and I came here...
...you had us give our luggage to someone named Morikawa-san.
Then you offered us to have a look around here.
I've been wondering the whole time, why you would do such a thing.
But now I know that you did that in order to check inside our luggage.
Good morning.
In other words...
...the collaborator is you, Gouda-san.
You know how ridiculous that sounds?
And how is that evidence anyway?
Because of that woman, I was fired as Ohata-sensei's support group leader.
There is no way I would collaborate with someone like that.
Unless that was also part of the plan.
You had her expose your illegal actions on purpose...
...so that he would completely believe that her powers are real.
Your actual goal...
...was to gain control over Congressman Ohata through Shoko-san.
I'll go to First Division now and tell them everything.
Once they look into it, I'm sure they'll find some more evidence.
Well then.
You better not do anything you'll regret.
Are you alright?
Yes.
At first, it was your company...
...that got the contract for constructing the new sports center.
If this project was to be realized...
...your company would definitely reap in huge profits.
However, Congressman Ohata...
...became doubtful about its profitability...
...and opposed the plan.
That way you would miss out on huge profits...
...and decided to use Minagawa Shoko to change his mind.
He leaves me no other choice.
Politician Secretary
Murder Case
At that time, your biggest obstacle was Taoka-san.
You knew that first secretary Taoka-san was going to try and separate Minagawa Shoko and Congressman Ohata.
The strongest opposition regarding the sports center project...
...came from him.
During the time what you guys said to be Taoka-san's time of death...
...I was at Tsujiyama Park having an argument with Minagawa Shoko.
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have an alibi.
You don't have an alibi or anything.
You're just cleverly trying to make us believe that you do.
You understand?
You and Minagawa Shoko being accomplices changes everything.
She kicked the billboard on your behalf...
...so that paint would be left on your shoes.
At the same time, you went and killed Taoka-san.
Taoka-san.
It was you who set up Kuramoto-san.
Only you could have gotten into his car and place the rosary inside as evidence.
Water... Can I get some water?
Just gimme a second.
Anything you wanna say in your defense?
If she would have just kept her...
That soothsayer...
When that ridiculous female detective saw through her trick with the microphone, she saw her as an enemy.
That's when she reached out to me and wanted me to find out that woman's secrets.
No matter how you looked at her notes, there is no way those could have been real.
However, that soothsayer...
...can't help but crave the limelight no matter the cost.
You almost had us all deceived.
If it wasn't for that ridiculous female detective...
...and her realizing that you must have had stolen a glance at her notes.
Translation: HPriest @ d-addicts
- Thanks again for that time. - Shirai, why are here?
This is going to be one tough of a trial...
...but I wouldn't mind at all to continue being your lawyer and take up the challenge.
Of course, the recompense would have to be at an appropriate amount.
Like hell I would!
Someone like you who betrays others like it's nothing.
Let's go.
A swindler can never trust others.
You can never fall in love.
You're not a detective.
Never go and meet with a criminal all by yourself again.
I'm sorry.
But if I didn't, there wouldn't be any proof.
Are you saying that you had yourself attacked by him on purpose?!
I knew that you would come right away.
Listen, never again.
By the way, why can't you let me see that?
That's the notebook Gouda-san was talking about.
Yes.
It's just filled with my fantasies.
Are those really just fantasies?
Eh? Yes.
