What you need for window cleaning is concentration.
If you don't put the same pressure continuously,
the glow of the glass will not be proportionate.
Blue cat?
Yes. In the jurisdiction of the Yanagimachikita Police Station,
there is a location for the metropolitan housing construction. You know that?
An abandoned building will soon be torn down...
...and be replaced with high condominiums.
That place is called cat's paradise.
However, since two months ago,
someone killed the cats.
Until now, there have been four murders.
The killer coated the dead cat with blue paint.
The case is called...
...Murder of Blue Cats.
Poor cats.
Right. We have to catch the killer.
Maybe it's a children's joke.
Give us a serious case.
This is serious. Everyone..
Look at this.
This is quite serious...
...among cat lovers.
''Amateur scavenger. You are just afraid of people."
"Trash." "Exiled case."
Many complained to the police to immediately arrest the perpetrators.
However, because of lack of people, they shift this to us, right?
lt's...
There are pets killed.
The Public Security Section passes it to us.
Ask people at that house to take care of it.
Blue Cat?
Perfect case for retirees.
You don't need us. You only handle it, Hiyoko.
We are not city messengers!
However, this kind of thing can be a more serious crime.
We must stop the next crime before it happens.
Good morning~
Hello! I brought you the order.
Sousuke, are there yellow tail fish?
Of course. See!
There are guests waiting outside.
Come in.
Excuse me.
Sorry to come here suddenly.
It's okay. Beautiful woman like you are always welcomed.
Natsume-kun, welcome her as usual.
Welcome to the Maison de Police.
Welcome.
Is this place called Maison De Police?
Very bad.
- '' Bad ''? - Let me hang your coat.
Let me introduce myself.
I'm an editor from the city public relations magazine, "Soyokaze".
My name is Hitomi Otsuki.
Hitomi?
What a nice name.
Please have a seat.
I heard about here that this is a share house...
...which composed of former police officers.
It's an honor to meet you.
You're welcome.
I heard that you're all old men who gets angry easily,
but it turns out that you're all nice persons.
It's nice to meet you guys!
Natsume-kun, serve the tea.
Is black tea fine for you?
Yes. Thanks.
Because there are beautiful women here, this place is fun.
I'm a woman too.
I think you're pretty sweet, Hiyori-san.
This is not the time to talk about it.
Sorry, but who is that woman?
I'm actually...
...Detective Hiyoko.
- Are you a detective? - She comes here if she needs help from us.
So, you ask them for help.
lt's...
Hitomi-san, what are you here for?
Do you know about the Murder of Blue Cats?
Yes, we just talked about that.
Actually, in ''Soyokaze'' last month,
I wrote an article about that murder.
We got an anonymous e-mail with words written that they would kill cats again.
Is it true?
However, even though I told the police about that,
they haven't responded and acted seriously.
Sorry.
So I'm here, hoping that you guys will help me.
Can you investigate this case?
I don't think they're interested in this case.
- Let's investigate this. - What?
Besides, we are some kind of city messengers.
Alright, Natsume. We'll do it.
- What? Me too? - Right.
I appreciate your help, Natsume-san.
I will try my best.
Isn't this a good news, Hiyori-san?
Now, all wants to help.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Leave it to us.
There is a front and back entrance.
We can also walk through the west side.
Until now, all the murders occurred on Thursday night.
It might happen again tonight.
We'll monitor the premise alternately, huh?
Really?
It's cold outside.
When did Hitomi-san came?
Just watch it.
I'm getting sleepy.
This is indeed the right time when they sleep.
Good evening.
- Hitomi-san! Come in. - Thank you.
- Sit here. - It's very cold.
- Here, use this. - Thank you.
Hitomi-san, have you wait for a long time?
No. I just arrived.
I made some night snacks for everyone.
- Thank you very much. - You are very nice.
- She's feminine, like I thought. - Please.
- I hope you like it. - Thank you.
- This is perfect. - Thank you.
Delicious!
- Natsume-kun, have her teach you this. - This is good.
Taste it, Miss Makino.
- Delicious. - No need, thank you.
- I want to patrol the premise. - We're counting on you.
- Okay. - I'll accompany you.
- It's too dangerous, Hitomi-san. - You can't be hurt.
- Here, please. - I will just be fine.
I'll be with Miss Makino.
Are you okay?
We will be fine.
I will protect your precious Hitomi-san.
I envy you, Miss Makino.
Really?
It must be fun always with those nice people.
What?
The old men were troublesome.
Stay here.
It's the police. Don't move!
What?
Hitomi-san?
What's up, Hitomi-san?
Hitomi-san, are you okay?
What's wrong?
Makino, that...
This isn't...
...a cat.
This is a human body.
(Maison de Police)
(Episode 3, Blue Body)
Shit. Why do they have to be involved again?
This is just a coincidence.
Those who first found the body...
...so, the suspects can be narrowed down.
- Makino. - Yes?
You will just shut up later.
Sorry to make my enthusiastic seniors wait.
I'm sure it's hard to stay up all night if you're old.
- Harada. - Yes?
Just so you know,
I never thought I'd ask you, Sako-san.
Since you are here, do you want me to arrest you all?
''If possible, suspect your family."
"The police cannot sympathize with that."
*Yakitori: A Japanese dish of chicken pieces grilled on a skewer. I heard that thousands of times at the yakitori shop until morning.
Lately, it can be called abuse of power.
Even though it's only the beginning, we have the estimated time of death.
Around 7:00.
Fortunately, at that time you...
...are with Makino at the share house preparing for the investigation.
Looks like your alibi is legitimate. Congratulations.
However, Miss Otsuki, you were not with the others at that time.
I'm at home that making lunch.
Yes. I was eating that time.
Delicious.
I don't think she lied.
Please don't make some speculations.
I heard from Makino...
...that you approach Miss Otsuki.
I understand you want to protect it,
but I don't think your old eyes glanced...
It's enough for the initial interrogation.
We are here voluntarily.
I want to go.
You're Natsume-san who used to be in Division One, right?
I heard you are messengers at the nursing house.
I appreciate it if you don't interfere in this case.
What if you just clean it by yourselves?
Okay.
Murder cases must be handled by the police.
- Thank you. - However,
we will chase anyone behind the Murder of the Blue Cat.
You told Makino to bring the case to us.
Don't complain about that, huh?
Come on.
Take care of this.
It's rare to see you acting like that, Natsume-kun.
Sorry. I was so tired that I couldn't help myself.
After what happened, I understand why you don't want to let go.
Sorry for what happened.
Because I ask for your help,
I have even caused a problem.
It's not a problem at all.
Coming home with you in the morning, Hitomi,
...is happiness.
My husband!
The victim is Kiego Utada, 39 years old.
He is in-charge of the construction site.
We know where he was yesterday...
...as he leave the office to inspect the construction site.
- Sugioka. Cause of death? - Good, Sir.
There is blood on the runway at the crime scene.
The blood matches with the victim's blood.
The shape of the head wound and the shape of the landing were suitable.
I'm sure that thing hit his head.
This might be an accident,
but because it's covered in blue paint, I think it's murder.
How about the paint?
It's the same as used in murdering blue cats.
I think it makes sense to infer...
...that the culprit is the same from the murder of the blue cat.
Anyone else who wants to report?
(Father, Naoto, former Takato Construction's employee)
(Killed from falling on the construction site 20 years ago)
(Killed from falling down)
Please step aside.
Excuse me.
My husband!
- My husband! - Daddy.
Father!
Dismissed!
Good, Sir.
- Makino. - Yes?
Yes, Sir?
Watch the people at the nursing house.
Sorry?
I don't want them to mess up the crime scene.
Because they have retired, they should just watch a police drama replay.
What bothered me was the signboard.
Signboard?
Signs and bodies were doused with paint.
There must be a reason.
Maybe, he just wants to show off.
Remember how he was criticized as a coward on the internet?
He wants to say, "See! I killed humans."
Chief Hiyoko.
I heard the situation was complicated. Are you alright?
Yes.
Hey, Hiyoko. What did the police say?
Have you checked the victim? Did you find something?
Sorry, but I can't tell information from the investigation.
They forbid you to talk about it?
How about the paint?
Is it the same which was used in the murder of blue cats?
- It's the same. - We have read your expression.
Cause of death? There is blood dripping off at the crime scene, right?
Are there head injuries?
So, it's on his head.
Stop reading my expression.
By the way, the estimated time of death is around 7:00, right?
What's up, Toudou-san?
Something bothered me.
Hello. I bring you what you asked.
You brought it! Nice!
Just put it here. Thanks.
But, can this really help?
That's an e-mail and postcard published in a magazine, right?
Where's the threat message from the blue cat killer?
This. I gave it to the police too.
(I'll kill another cat.)
They used an anonymous e-mail address.
It will be difficult to trace it.
Did you receive another e-mail from this address?
No, not yet.
Wait.
Many are received on the same date every month.
(December 21, 2018)
This is the deadline for terminating the submissions which are issued.
Many senders send work just before the deadline.
Hey. Look at this.
The date of the threat message is the same as the deadline!
Maybe, the blue cat killer...
...is one of your regular contributors.
Veteran detectives are great.
His vision is bad, but he knows what to see.
Stop it!
I'll give you the names of our subscription contributors.
I'm glad you're here, Hitomi.
You are far more useful than Hiyoko.
- Not really. - Isn't that right, Natsume?
Yes.
You bitchy old men at the Pervert House!
No matter how old men are, they like young breasts.
It's disappointing.
I don't believe I thought I could learn something from my seniors.
I want to scold myself for thinking that.
They only want to show off to young women.
I know what you meant. Toudou definitely did it.
I didn't expect Sakota to do that either.
I'm sure, Natsume-san too.
He gave Hitomi-san a gentle smile which he never shown before.
Do you know what I think just now?
I think you are jealous of Hitomi.
What? Impossible.
I think they like you much more, Hiyori.
Did you follow me again?
Hello! Of course not.
Sakota-san didn't ask me for it today.
I followed you because I wanted to.
- If so, you're a stalker. - I really worry about you.
- Who is this? - Hiyori's boyfriend.
- What? - She will never date!
Maybe.
I'm Sousuke Segawa. I provide shopping services...
...at the share house for Date-san. Toast.
You are indeed beautiful.
Your eyes are bright, kid.
This is my senior, Sugioka-san.
Are you one of these?
- Forensics. - It doesn't look like that!
- You're like a business woman. - Do you want me to take your fingerprint?
Really? Can you also read my palm?
I'm not a fortune teller.
(Makino)
Good morning.
What?
What happened?
You're both drunk, so I called a taxi for you.
The last train is had gone away too.
After that, we had fun.
- Sugioka-san. - I'll use your bathroom.
Sugioka-san. It's morning.
(Natsume-san)
Hello?
I want to interrogate people. Come here fast if you want to join.
- Interrogation? - Hiyori!
Can I drink the tea in the fridge?
I'll be there soon.
Good morning.
At least serve tea for him.
He heard it.
I can't enter. Can you advance forward for a little?
There were four regular contributors who posted before the deadline.
First, Chiyoko Kudo, 75 years old.
Madam's room is over here.
She likes to draw cats.
She drew it on a postcard and have sent it to a magazine.
Because she likes cats, she knows about murdering blue cats,
and complained to the city office and the police several times about that.
I'm Kudo.
We came here about the bodies found in the Asahi district.
The culprit is someone who hurts cats.
I hope now they don't hurt cats anymore.
What do you think about the culprit in the Murder of the Blue Cat?
My opinion?
It's not something that humans will do.
I think he should go to hell...
...and the same thing should be done to him.
Second, Toshiki Seto, 26 years old.
He is a guard on the building he works at.
He called himself an essay writer.
I spent a lot of time at night.
Sometimes I patrol the building, but I sit here more often.
So, the poem I wrote all the time...
...are send to "Soyokaze".
(In the city, at night, grow concrete forests.)
(Even at night, the waves never stop.)
Do you know about the Murder of Blue Cats?
Blue Cat? What's that?
Forget it. Then,
what about the bodies found in the Asahi district?
You mean, the blue body that was found?
Can I ask where you are on the night of the 24th?
Do you suspect me?
No. We're just checking.
That day, my shift ended at 8:00 p.m.
Wait a minute.
Is there evidence that can support you?
If you ask the security system manager,
he can give you the exact time when I left.
Do you want to call?
If it's not troublesome.
Third, Midori Yamazaki, 62 years old.
She is a widow who lives alone.
She took photos of Mount Fuji from her window...
...and send it to "Soyokaze".
What a great view of Mount Fuji.
My husband and I love this view,
so, we bought this house after retiring.
He died before he could really enjoy it.
Do you about the problem from the Asahi district?
Yes. What's going on?
Can I ask you if where were you on the night of the 24th?
I'm at my home.
Can anyone prove it?
There's none.
I've been living alone for a long time.
Fourth, Ryoji Tsuchiya, 58 years old.
He's a little weird.
He complained nonstop about problems with his neighbors.
He shouted at children who feed birds,
or a housewife who doesn't pick up her dog poop.
He sent his complaint to "Soyokaze".
His house is near the crime scene.
Maybe...
...he revenge on cats and torture them.
What do you want?
Excuse me. I want to ask about murder on the location...
I don't know anything about that. Go away!
Just bring it to yourself again?
Why aren't you stocking foods from yourself?
I'm sure you prefer to interrogate people with Hitomi.
Date-san.
Date-san is the who asked me to contact you.
He said you were our team leader.
Then, why not buy me coffee...
Because for me, you are not the chief.
Well. I'll buy it for myself.
What do you think?
The amount of paint used is around four liters.
That's an enough amount to hand carry it.
It's natural to think of the culprit is a man.
Then?
Because we know Toshiki Seto works as a security guard...
...at the time of Utada-san's estimated death,
he has an alibi.
Currently, Ryoji Tsuchiya is the most likely suspect.
At least you're not stupid.
Gosh, thank you.
Ryoji Tsuchiya, for violence in animals and...
...sorry...
That's cat food!
Look at it first!
What? However,
you always complain about cats and dogs.
You don't see it?
I like cats!
We can complain!
He asked us to pay for the medical expenses...
...because his neck was hurt when you caught him.
I must apologize just to calm him down.
Forgive me.
I asked the old man not to give us a problem.
However, you just screwed it up.
I'm really sorry for what happened.
Looks like you are in a bad investigation...
...which the nursing house did.
Chairman Araki, can you see this?
What is that?
We accept new shipments.
(I will be responsible for accidentally killing him.)
Does this mean they will kill themselves?
What about this e-mail address?
We have never received anything from him.
Harada, contact the service provider and check it out.
- Say, this is an emergency. - Yes, Sir.
What happened?
Excuse me for a moment.
- Hello? - Is Hitomi there?
Yes. They check the sender's e-mail address.
Forget it. Come to the scene and invite your boss.
What? Why?
There is an experiment that Mr. Toudou wants to do.
Maybe it might change the scene, so we need permission.
However, I don't know if I can...
There's no much time. Convince him.
Chairman Araki,
will you come to the crime scene?
What for?
People from the share house...
...want to do an experiment and asked you to come.
What?
Why do I have to go there?
Sorry, but...
...I'm sure this is necessary to solve this case.
Makino! Seriously!
I don't have time to meet those old men!
I admit...
...their eyesight is bad, their body's not fit, just acts as they please,
they lies, and even cheats.
They are very unpleasant, but...
...I think of their ability to solve extraordinary cases.
I think they have resolved something again this time.
- How is it? - Not good.
At least, tomorrow afternoon, they can identify it.
Chairman, what will you do?
Please.
The paint is the same as that used.
The temperature and humidity are a little different,
but the condition is almost the same as the day of murder.
I will start the experiment.
Experiment?
At 9:00 p.m.,
when we find the body,
the paint is still not completely dry.
In the same situation,
if we use the same paint,
we should know...
... how long does the paint dry after being poured into the body.
Can someone...
...act as the human body?
Just me.
Hey.
You can't waste time.
I am ready.
Please go ahead.
I checked the paint on the left hand,
so, this is enough.
I'll leave it to you, Toudou-san.
Your attitude is good.
Don't move first.
Okay.
Estimated time of death is around 7:00 p.m.
About two hours before, the body was found.
How long do we have to wait...
...to the situation like the time of the body's discovery?
This experiment is to ensure that.
My policy is to investigate even though it takes a long time,
even where to go, until I feel satisfied.
- Let me take it. - Okat.
Once again.
- Well. What's wrong with you? - You cheat?
Thanks.
Makino.
- Yes? - So,
what happened to your father?
I read the investigation report that your father died from falling.
It was written that he works in a construction company...
...and died at the construction site.
The police said...
...it's possible that he killed himself.
However, I don't think so.
Now, I understand.
No wonder you see cases differently from the police.
Toudou-san, the paint is getting dry.
Come here. See this.
This is similar to what I saw.
However, it's only 30 minutes.
When you arrived at the crime scene, the paint is very dry.
Enough to dry fast.
As expected.
This is commercial paint that dries quickly.
I guess so.
However, the estimated time of his death...
Estimated time of death of Utada-san...
...is around 7:00 p.m.
We found it two hours later at around 9:00 p.m.
However, if we calculate based on the speed of the paint drying,
then the paint is poured 30 minutes before the body is found.
- If so... - What?
What does this experiment prove?
Utada-san was killed at 7:00 p.m.
Thirty minutes before we found the body,
at 8:30 p.m., the body was covered in paint.
Why there is a lag time?
(Invention)
Maybe, there is someone else.
We suspect the culprit is the same as the killer of the blue cat.
However, there might be someone else who killed Utada-san...
...then the Blue Cat Killer...
...came and pour the paint, huh?
What did he do it for?
I thought it gave you a hint.
Come here.
The reason we called you here...
...is for this.
(Location of Future Development)
Let me clean it.
What?
No need to look after the crime scene, right?
- Right. - Because I'm a messenger,
my hobby is cleaning things.
Then, please.
- What did he do? - Just be patient.
What?
There is a writing.
Maybe, the killer is one of your regular contributors.
I think he should go to hell...
...and the same thing should be done to him.
That day, my shift ended at 8:00 p.m.
My husband and I love this view.
(Stop the future development!)
"Stop the construction."
Does this mean...
Yamazaki-san? Are you inside?
- Hey! - What are you doing?
A place where her husband can see the scenery he likes.
Yamazaki-san.
You are opposed for the construction of that building, right?
If the building is built,
the view of Mount Fuji...
...which what your husband likes will be blocked.
That day...
Who did this?
I hope they stop it.
Damn it! Who did it?
- Give it back! - What are you doing?
- Let it be there! - I'll call the police!
Go away! Get out now!
You don't intend to kill him, do you?
Forgive me.
I...
...I'm really sorry.
Bring her.
Yes, Sir.
Forgive me.
Sakota-san, you're already late.
Shut up.
Sometimes, we eat yakitori.
Let me treat you.
Seriously.
It's sickening.
Natsume.
You're out of breath.
I ran after staying up all night for long.
- Damn it! - I'm tired!
For Hitomi's eyes. Cheers!
Cheers!
Thank you very much, Hitomi.
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
- Let's eat. - Come on.
If it wasn't for Hitomi,
this case will never be finished.
On the other hand, Hiyoko!
- Yes? - I heard...
...while handling this case,
...you bring a man to your house.
- What? - Sakota-san!
- You promised not to say it! - Who cares?
- You mean, Sousuke? - Sousuke?
I didn't expect you to be like that, Hiyoko.
She's not like that!
I just say this for Hiyori's reputation.
I'm so drunk, so I just slept immediately.
You're even more naughty.
So true.
What does Hiyoko want to say?
I'll let you imagine it.
- Okay, excuse me. - You'll go now?
Yes. Have fun with Hitomi.
I knew it. You are the person.
I am sure...
...you came here Thursday after work,
Toshiki Seto.
I'm not doing anything.
Right.
Because you work at the time of the estimated death,
it's impossible for you to kill Utada-san.
However,
you can pour paint on his body.
That day,
you found Mr. Utada's body.
(Stop the development!)
On the internet, people mocked at you...
...as a coward who can only kill cats.
To impress the Blue Cat Killer to kill humans,
you pour paint on it...
...and cover the graffiti on the sign.
The paint on the sign board...
...is thrown from left to right.
Then...
...I realize you are the culprit because you are left-handed.
If it's according to your expectations, it would be ridiculous.
I mean, it just happened to have a body here?
As if to say, "Please. Pour paint on me."
However, the old woman you arrested is the culprit.
I agree that Mrs. Yamazaki...
...had done an unforgivable thing.
However,
she regretted it and apologized.
But,
how about you?
You use corpses for your self-satisfaction.
You don't think you've made a mistake.
Do you have no conscience?
How cruel you are with your words.
You have no proof that I'm the culprit.
The paint in your backpack.
I'm sure it's the same as the one used at the crime scene.
Don't dare to think this has nothing to do with you.
I swear, I will repay you for it.
Who are you?
We are retirees who live around here.
- Step aside, old man. - I can't.
You're a suspect targeted by our Chief from the start.
- Makino, get the backpack! - Yes, Sir!
You are arrested for obstruction of justice.
We'll interrogate you in the police station for polluting the body.
Come on.
Let me go!
Hiyoko, are you okay?
Shouldn't you exercise at this time?
What are you doing here?
At first, we want to invite you...
...to spy on this place today.
I just want to accompany Hitomi.
Don't act alone without our permission.
Here.
Looks like the Blue Cat Murder case is over.
Hiyoko.
Good job.
Very good.
Good job.
This isn't beer, you know.
That's how the case is finished.
My heart was completely captured by a man from the Maison De Police.
However, there seems to be no place for me in their hearts.
I wonder what else...
...would the old men and women police do in the future.
I'll watch them from behind.
What is this?
The beautiful Hitomi must be frustrated...
...because of losing to Hiyoko here.
- What? - Anyways...
...bring us more serious cases!
Don't take it wrong.
I don't want to get too involved with you.
I'm tired of taking care of you, new kid.
I'll talk to you pretentiously.
- What? - What did you say just now?
- Hey! - What's that?
So, you know...
...she's the princess in that case.
(Father, fell and dead at the construction site 20 years ago)
Is that why you asked her to come here?
I'll let you imagine it.
What would you do?
What will she do when she realizes it?
I'll decide about that later.
- Enough. - This is him.
- It's too much. - I don't want it anymore!
[ PREVIEW ] (Why is Sakota interested in this case?)
I will also investigate this case.
Why are you so interested in this case?
- Game? - Use your body or whatever!
Why are you not trying...
...to understand the loneliness of a child?
You want to investigate why your father died, right?
