I can't make a hand tiles.
I can't believe it. I'm sure Date-san almost has a hand tiles.
Damn it!
I'm here!~
These are chicory, shungiku, spring onion, shiratake mushroom. Want to make a hot pot?
That's right. Because Date-san brought crabs.
I quit being a police officer as I'm terrible.
No, no. I provide consultancy for companies and for other things too.
It's the advantage of being a former civil servant.
If I make a tweet about it, many people may be upset.
Some advantages are needed.
Well, two bamboo sticks.
- I win. - What?
All are simple.
You can't win with a better hand tiles?
A man must shuffle his tiles.
- Take care of your blood pressure. - Forget my blood pressure, this bastard.
Well... where's Natsume-san?
He went out as he has something to do.
That's unusual for him.
He will take a day-off only on this day.
Be vigilant.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
Just go ahead.
Hello.
Date-chan?
It's me...
Go-chan?
Oh~
Long time no see.
(In the memories of Ikehara)
Misa-san...
Don't come here again.
You're a murderer!
Souichiro Natsume.
Shinagawa Central Station.
Konan South Regional Division.
Konan Department's Criminal Division.
Criminal Investigation, First Department.
Souichiro Natsume.
Three years ago,
he killed innocent people.
You must worry about your boyfriend so much.
Na~ What are you saying?
Don't use the police database for searching your lover's information.
Please stop it. Because it is not like that.
Why not?
That is...
Sugioka-san, do you know why Natsume-san resigned as a police officer?
I don't know such a thing.
Just ask him.
- I can not ask himself. - Surely, the people at the share house knows it.
I can't ask them.
They're trying to avoid to discuss that topic.
A theft occurred in Botan-cho,
Setagaya City...
- Makino, let's go. - Yes.
The location is at Hongou's residence in Botan-cho, Setagaya City.
(Maison De Police)
(Episode 7, Ageha)
Someone forcibly open it with a tool.
You need to open it roughly by relying on strength.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
Section chief, thanks for coming.
- What happened? - I was called by the head chief for a moment.
What happened?
We got an outline of what happened.
The homeowner, Yukinari Hongou,
and his fiancee, Shiori Ogura,
as well as the domestic nurse, Mika Akai,
was been in his villa at Hakone since yesterday.
It seems that the safe was opened when there's nobody inside.
This incident was reported by the house keeper, Karen Motomiya.
Because Hongou-san and the others will return today,
he came from work at 9:00 p.m. and found all these.
What was stolen?
It's five million yen from the safe.
Other things like certificates, marketable securities, and other documents...
...have still remain in this safe.
Wait, you haven't confirmed it yet?
Apparently, the owner of the house, Yukinari Hongou,
knows the exact contents of the safe.
Where is the house owner, Yukinari Hongou?
He's in the hospital.
He was sick in the villa,
so he went to the hospital from his way home.
When we want to talk to him at the hospital,
they said they can't let us go to him.
So, he wants to hide.
Eh? - Why is he hiding from us?
Yukinari Hongou...
...is a rich man who owns...
...several buildings in Ginza and Akasaka.
He always lives luxurious,
and have a romantic relationship with many beautiful women.
He is also known as "Setagaya Gigolo".
- He's very tacky. He's like a pervert.
That was on the Showa era.
Many bad rumors circulated about his success.
It was reported that he got money through illegal means...
...when he was young, then became an influential seller in the political world and underground economy.
Araki-san, someone called.
He said he made an appointment with you.
Let them enter here.
Who is it?
Ah～ It has been a long time since I last went to a real crime scene.
You have never left the Criminal Lab.
Could it be...
Hi! Saya-chan.
Saya-chan?
Hiyoko, are you investigating at this moment?
What are you two doing here?
There's another person who's coming.
Natsume-san...
Why? Is it weird if I'm here?
Not at all.
Why are you all here?
The victim, Hongou-san, asked Date-san for help.
That's why, we were forced to come here.
What is it? Oi.
Why did Hongou-san ask Date-san for help?
Apparently, Yukinari Hongou and Date-san were friends when they were little.
There are bad rumors circulating about Hongou-san.
They were friends since childhood, so he couldn't refuse it.
But, since Date-san joined the police,
they are not that close anymore.
Oh my god! You surprise me!
I'm sorry.
What happened to you?
Huh?
Why you're wearing like that?
It's just for fashion.
Saya-chan?
She went back.
She said, "I don't want to breathe the same air with him."
She was always so shy.
So, what can you say by looking at this?
It's door is released from its hinges with grinding...
...and a crowbar was used to open it.
This is the latest type of safe with mixed lock and key combination.
The house keeper, Karen-san, said that...
...Hongou-san was very careful and buys a new safe once a year.
Karen-san, a housekeeper, has testified.
That is... this mess here.
Wait. Can you see this one?
It can't be easily seen, but there are scrapes here.
Did they try to break into it, then opened, and failed to do it?
It's not that it was broken.
Why do you think so?
A professional safe breaker has a high self esteem.
They will not give up and diligently open it with a tool.
They always open using their own abilities.
That's what a safe breaker does.
Then, why are the scrapes there?
Then there's...
...this hole.
Sugioka-san said that maybe the hole...
...was used to insert optical fiber to see the contents inside.
Most people will think like that..
But what caught my attention...
...is this.
What is this dust?
This is... probably scales.
This powder comes from the butterfly's wings.
Oi, butterfly scales? Does this mean an Ageha?
You remember now? - What's an Ageha?
They must be breakers of famous safes from the Showa era...
Their gender and nationality is unknown.
Some say they are mafias from Hong Kong.
For some reason, the safe they broke with a small hole made,
had butterfly scales in it.
Their method is mysterious,
but they opened the safe in a flash,
and disappear like a flying butterfly.
They are hard-to-catch criminals.
But at the beginning of the Heisei era,
a woman named Grace...
...who sells stolen Ageha commodities,
is detained in Hong Kong.
After that, Ageha stopped acting,
and disappeared.
So now, Ageha appears again at the end of the Heisei era.
Maybe this time, we have handled a big criminal case.
I'm not so sure.
What is it?
Like this...
Karen, can you show me again what you showed to me earlier?
Ah. Yes.
- They're beautiful! |- What's this?
This is Hongou-san's hobby.
He's a butterfly collector.
I don't think it's strange to find butterfly scales in a safe.
Women have no sense in adventure.
Is this a drug sample?
Is this a medicine box? Everyone's familiar with that, right?
Can I ask for one?
But, I have to ask Hongou-san about this.
Please help just once.
Okay. Please, go ahead.
Seriously. Ageha...?
If they want to remember the Showa era, just leave it.
We will catch the perpetrators ourselves.
Sugioka, please help with the lab results.
Yes, Sir. There are two sets of footprints found at the crime scene.
Both are of the same type of men's sneakers.
The culprits are two young men.
But, the footsteps are too clear.
Usually, there are small stones and the base is worn out.
- This is too perfect. - What does it mean?
These are new shoes, and maybe...
...they go around leaving footprints as a diversion.
Sugioka-san...
...is quite excited in this case.
Maybe, because her ex-husband is involved?
I just want to solve this case.
I'm sorry.
Well~ Yukinari Hongou has a contract with a security company,
but the culprit broke the glass that was not installed with security sensors and entered through it.
That means the culprit is just a close acquaintance who knows the house.
The person who knows most his house is the three of them.
Where are these three persons now?
Ogura-san and Akai-san...
...are at home together.
What?
Apparently, Yukinari Hongou-san suggested...
...that Ogura-san and Akai-san will have... dinner there tonight.
- Why is that? - All right, Makino...
I will be there.
- Looks delicious. - Of course.
Why eat hot pot crabs...?
Sorry. I have prepared it.
Even though it's an arranged party, we can't chat because of this food.
This is not an arranged party.
Eat as much as you want, Shiora-san and Mika-san.
It's terrible that he was robbed just like that.
Well... Where is Hongou-san's childhood friend, Date-san?
- He went for a walk. - Take a walk?
Hongou-san asked us to let him meet with Date-san.
Sorry, but he is a free-spirited person.
How long have you lived in that place, Shiori-san?
Six months. Of course, I know Hongou-san has many lovers.
But I'm a special one between them.
As he promised to marry me.
I'm very jealous.
All men have dreamed of marrying a younger woman.
I'm not like that.
You're with him in his villa at Hakone, aren't you?
- Yes. - You too, Mika-san?
Hongou-san is not feeling well, so I accompanied them.
- What did you do last night? - Shiora and I...
...drank wine and talked until morning.
Tell me about the necklace.
This is from Hongou-san.
Shiori also has the same one, right?
Oh my! Does it mean...
Takahira-san!
I also have a relationship with Hongou-san.
- You're frank. - So, Shiori-san agreed to it, right?
Hongou-san can't help himself...
but have a romantic relationship with a woman in his life.
But we got engaged because I accepted that side of him.
You're the ideal woman of men!
Can you stop it?
But you are not like that one, are you Mika-san?
Natsume-san!
He was always like that,
so, I never felt like that for me.
Mika-san blessed us when we got engaged.
- Right. - Your relationship is quite unique.
I heard that the wives who've gone...
...polygamous marriages get along.
If all women are like this, men can live more freely.
That's why you divorced for three times.
What about the housekeeper, Karen-san, and Hongou-san?
I'm sure their relationship is just the same with us.
Why did Karen-san become Hongou-san's housekeeper?
She met Hongou-san in the Philippines,
and came to Japan when he opened a bar here.
After the bar was closed, she remained as his housekeeper.
By the way, it seems Hongou-san is taking medicine.
Did you bring it, Mika-san?
I'm just a home nurse.
It's the main doctor who's prescribing him medicine.
Karen-san, took it from him, right?
Then, Karen took care of it.
Hello! I'm here!
I brought a first-class safe!
What took you so long?~
- A drill? - A drill.
I brought the best drill and...
...butterfly scales.
What do you intend to do with that?
They will find out about the Ageha method.
It looks fun!
Give me the drill.
- You look like kids. - How to open it?
Have you deduced the case?
I'm ironing clothes at the moment.
What do you need?
Do you know Superintendent Mamiya?
Yes.
So what about it?
The other day,
he came and told me to forbid myself from getting involved...
...with Maison De Police people.
If that's the case, you should leave immediately.
Maybe, I should.~
The majority of people in the police force must think so too.
Bt somehow, I don't.
For this case too...
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know about Ageha.
Without your rude interrogation method,
I doubt I'll be aware of the strange relationship between Shiori-san and Mika-san.
- Are you drunk? - I don't have time to drink.
But,
I realized something.
This place...
...is very important to me.
What do you want to convey?
I'm a... member of the police force,
but, I'm also part of this group.
I want to my best of both worlds.
That way,
don't you think I can be a great detective?
You? Becoming a great detective?
After all,
I trust all of them here...
...and Natsume-san too.
I want to iron these by myself. Go somewhere else.
Hello.
Eh?
Karen-san?
(Yanagimachikita Police Station)
Karen-san.
Are you okay?
It's only a small wound.
Suddenly, she was pushed from behind while walking along the pedestrian bridge.
She saved herself by holding on to the railings.
Did you see the culprit's face?
Why are you with her, Natsume-san?
What's wrong if I'm with Makino?
It's nothing.
Could it be...
...Karen who broke into the safe?
What?
If Hongou-san knew, maybe, he would try to kill Karen-san...
...for the sake of his revenge.
Yukinari Hongou is the type of person who might do it.
Sorry to disturb your date.
Did you drink the same coffee?
What's wrong?
Just now, I got a call from Hongou-san at the hospital.
He said he wanted to answer the police's interrogations.
Is that true?
But, he has two conditions.
- A condition? - First,
the police must bring everything that was taken from the safe.
The other one is,
Hiyori Makino must come alone.
Thank you... for choosing me.
Excuse me.
Nice to meet you. I'm Hiyori Makino from the Yanagimachikita Police Crime Investigation Unit.
Eh? You are Hiyori-chan?
You're sweeter than I thought.
Thank you.
For me, you are better than a normal one.
Or maybe...
you're just a normal one.
But that's pretty good.
Who would have thought that Date-chan was surrounded by sweet women?
He is very smart.
Did you bring the contents of the safe?
Ah. Yes.
Something is missing here?
Let me see. Please have a seat.
Then, I'll beg your pardon.
Did you read the contents?
Not yet. We need permission from the owner to read the correspondence.
This is a very confidential list...
...of the famous women I have slept with.
Want to see?
No, thanks.
Ah. Okay.
Then, the securities,
and my will...
Everything is here.
Thanks. You are very helpful.
There's only one reason I asked you to come.
Hiyori-chan, I want to ask for your help.
- You'll ask for help? - I want you to look after...
my housekeeper, Karen, at Maison De Police.
Why is that so?
I want you to protect Karen, Hiyori-chan.
You know the important woman can be a female bodyguard.
I've got an approval from Date-chan.
Ah. I understood.
If that's the case,
would you answer a question from me?
Go ahead.
Hongou-san,
did you know who tried to kill Karen-san?
No.
That's why, I asked you to look after her.
Why...
...are you so worried about Karen-san?
Isn't it clear?
It's because I love her.
Is this daikon leaves?
This is delicious. It's very tasty when mixed with small fish.
You know a lot, Takahira-san.
Well~ Oh my!
I'm glad the professional housekeeper praised me.
Lt's improve each other's abilities.
Okay.
Let's get back to work.
I don't think Hongou-san is chasing Karen-san.
Maybe, he also wants us to watch her here.
He planned something.
I agree with Natsume.
Why is that?
Actually, I checked this.
I wonder why the capsule isn't neat.
The medicine inside has been replaced.
What's the contents on it?
It's number 33 on the periodic table.
The abbreviation is...
As.
Explain it more clearly.
- Arsenic. - Arsenic? - Hey!
If taken for a long time,
it can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, disorientation,
and damage to many organs that can lead to death.
Does this mean... that Hongou-san is poisoned?
He said that Karen-san was in-charge of the medicine.
So, Karen tried to kill Hongou-san?
Is that why Hongou asked us to watch her?
I will go back to the police station and report this.
I will find out the source of this arsenic.
Takahira-san!
It's very delicious!~
What did you eat?
This stew made by Karen!
Please have a taste, everyone.
Well... It looks delicious.
I can't wait to eat it.
Takahira, is there something different?
Could you know it?
I started my hair transplant.
Seems like it.
(Yanagimachikita Police Station)
We know the source of arsenic contents.
Who took it?？ - It's not Karen Motomiya.
But the home nurse, Mika Akai.
It turns out he got the Salvarsan...
...from his friend at the university research lab.
It's an arsenic compound.
Mika Akai, right?
We also found something.
This is the surveillance camera at the convenience store near Hongou-san's house.
This is on the 1:00 in the evening where a robbery takes place.
See. This is the Shiori Ogura's car that is supposed to be in the Hakone villa.
You mean, that night he returned...
...to Hongou-san's house in Setagaya from the villa in Hakone.
And then, Shiori Ogura and Mika Akai returned to Hakone...
...and worked together to make an alibi that they drank in the villa again.
Then, they both broke the safe.
Okay. We'll arrest Shiori Ogura and Mika Akai.
Yes, Sir.
We came to surrender.
We... worked together to have the inheritance...
...and gave Hongou a capsule containing arsenic.
Shiori promised...
...to share the inheritance with me...
...after getting it from Hongou-san.
We were the one who destroyed the safe and stole the money.
But, if you want to get the inheritance, you don't need to steal it from him.
Our real goal...
...is to examine the will.
The will?
Before killing him,
we have to check the contents of the will.
We have to check if I will inherit the money as a fiancee.
As it was written like that, we feel so confident.
so that no one knows our true purpose, we stole the money.
Who assaulted Karen-san?
We did it to her.
When we knew that Toudou-san was checking Hongou-san's medicine,
we were worried that they will know about arsenic.
We tried to make it as if Karen committed suicide...
...so that it would appear that he did it to her.
But... why did you surrender all of a sudden?
Hongou knew about it.
You guys tried to make me drink this, right?
- That is... - When you are like me,
there will be many women who'll try to kill for the sake of inheritance.
That's why, I always have...
...a different medicine that I take from.
Did you realize it?
...That we exchanged your medicine?
The risk is part...
...of the romance.
What will you do to us?
I have an idea.
He suggested that we will surrender ourselves.
The man can't do it at all.
Please tell us... one last thing.
Does...
...Hongou-san really love you at all?
- Are you serious with your question? -Yes.
Please tell us.
It was impossible...
...for Yukinari Hongou to love, right?
But with this,
we cannot know the Ageha method.
- Where's Karen-san? - She goes to shopping.
Did he know that the other two women were detained?
She was shocked, but was also glad that Hongou-san was not killed.
She doesn't look like she's lying.
Then, it's done.
The police won in this case.
But...
...has everything been really solved?
The police-on-duty shouldn't say like that.
I'm also... a member of this group.
Very cold. Japan is very cold.
Welcome back! Is this Date-san, right?
his is your gift.
Where did you went?
I went to the South Pacific which is rather warm.
You went from the Philippines, right?
I saw Grace's file, the woman...
...who's involved in Ageha...
...and was arrested 30 years ago.
She is a Filipino citizen.
What? She's a Filipino?
Karen-san was born in the Philippines.
Could it be that Karen is Ageha?
Ageha is...
...a case that left a deep impression on me.
That's one of the things that...
...became a part of my career...
...as a policeman and was forgotten.
So,
this case is indeed related to Ageha, right?
You have to find it out for yourself.
- Makino. - Me?
Hongou-san!
Hello, Hiyori-chan.
- Go-chan! - Date-san!
Long time no see~
It became troublesome this time.
That's why, I come to greet her.
She's just fine. Karen-san was here and helped me in cooking.
I have really wanted to see you.
I really admire you.
Hiyori-chan, thanks for your help.
Makino, isn't there something you want to say?
Love confession? So, you have fallen in love with me.
We confiscated the tools used by...
Shiori-san and Mika-san to break into the safe.
But,
there is no drill...
to make a three millimeter hole or optical fiber to...
...peek at the safe.
I'm sure...
...that the safe was opened by Ageha.
Ageha?
What are you talking about?
The real Ageha...
...is you, isn't it, Hongou-san?
Eh?
Every year, you buy a new safe, Hongou-san.
You definitely want to...
...test their skills with a new safe.
I have the key.
I can just use the key to open it.
Like a... top class burglar.
Oh, I see?
That means, you,
Hongou-san always uses butterfly scales to open the safe.
A safe that have traces of the Ageha method...
...and happened to be forcibly open by Shiori-san and Mika-san.
Like what they have confessed, I'm sure they have...
...opened the safe to check your will.
But it was written this way...
"My inheritance will be given to Karen Motomiya."
When they found that out, they tried to kill Karen.
Your imagination is great too.
For what reason should I give my inheritance to Karen?
Hongou-san,
remember what you said to me?
Isn't it clear?
It's because I love her.
I'm sure that you're not lying.
I'm sure Karen-san is the woman you really care about.
Wrong.
Too bad.
My rule is to treat all my lovers fairly.
But,
Karen isn't your lover, right?
Karen-san is...
...your daughter, isn't it, Hongou-san?
You made Shiori Ogura and Mika Akai...
...surrender themselves on the condition that they'll keep it a secret.
So, now you know...
that Karen is my daughter.
If you keep silent,
I will give you this.
I'll ask them to give a light sentence in the trial,
if you want to surrender yourself.
But, why hide it? Why not reveal it, instead?
Men like Setagaya Gigolo can't let that happen.
The woman who is aiming for her inheritance will come like a fly.
They could poison him or even kill him.
Karen-san, herself, may be at risk.
I'm worried about her too.
What's more, maybe he didn't want to...
...burden Karen-san with a past she didn't know.
The Filipino woman, Grace,
who was involved with Ageha, was arrested 30 years ago.
Grace remained silent about Ageha's identity...
...and died in prison.
That's when Ageha stopped its actions.
Could it be...
...that Grace is...
...Karen-san's mother?
Date-san went to the Philippines...
...to investigate.
Go-chan, did you remember?
A big black ageha (swallowtail) butterfly.
Eh?
We had a fight over it.
I won it from you through...
...rock, paper, scissors game.
Right.
With both of it's shape and color,
the butterfly is the most beautiful.
Even now,
do you still think it's the prettiest?
It's inside here.
But,
the key is gone.
Date-san…
You want to see it, right?
I want to see it.
That's me.
Breathe on the safe.
Butterfly scales are micron-sized fine particles.
But... it reflects the light.
By shining it in a dark room,
you can detect flaps of butterfly scales
caused by breathing on the safe.
Even though the times have changed,
I can still... communicate with them.
He's very fast.
Karen was raised by a family of relatives...
...and grew up without knowing anything.
The relatives had...
...a picture of...
...Karen's mother, this one.
I thought when I saw it now,
I wouldn't think so about it,
but she is still the prettiest.
Date-chan?
Yes?
What shall I do?
There's a secret...
...that I don't want her to know until I die.
Everybody's there.
How about everyone?
All of you are police officers living from the Showa era.
And you, Hiyori-san, is still on duty.
- You decide for it, Makino - Eh?
You want to become the strongest detective, don't you?
If you catch Ageha, you can be great in an instant.
The statute of limitation for theft is seven years.
Now, the police cannot do anything about it.
Oh my!
Karen!
I'm glad.
♬～Lonely Chaplin...
♬～The time goes by...
♬～Even if you disappear,
♬～I'm sure, I'll wait for you.
Hiyoko...
Have a drink.
Thank you.
- Don't drink too much. - Thanks.
It is comfortable and peaceful here.
Really?
Tou spent throughout the day...
...with your colleagues.
I envy you, Date-chan.
We also have a problem here.
Is that so?
I know that one day, it will be revealed.
Well... Maybe,
I deserve it.
♬～I guess it's my chest.
Hello.
What? Are you at the hostess club right now?
Everyone here are just old men.
What's wrong?
I have friends in the investigation department.
I asked that person about...
...the reason why Souichiro Natsume quit as a police officer.
Eh?
What's wrong?
Still dreaming of becoming a great detective?
I came to ask why you, Natsume-san, resigned as a police officer.
3 years ago,
Natsume-san said that a person...
...had committed suicide, right?
He is Shingo Ikehara-san.
He worked from Takato Construction.
I once said my father worked for Takato Construction...
...and he fell from the building that was under construction and died.
Natsume-san, are you involved with Takato Construction?
Why you did not tell me?
Shingo Ikehara also...
...died from the construction site.
It's the same situation as my father.
Was it really suicide?
Natsume-san!
Natsume-san, do you know anything about it?
Was my father and Ikehara-san,...
...actually killed by someone?
You're a murderer.
I...
...don't know anything.
(Naoto Makino)
(Shingo Ikehara had committed suicide.)
[ PREVIEW ] My father also fell and died from the building which was under construction.
I kidnapped Masato Toudou.
The culrpit's motive is...
It's worth 100 million yen.
- There's a fire! - Sako-san, the fire extinguisher!
I know now the reason behind why my father died.
