This chocolate will not satisfy the spoiled men's tongue.
Why do I have to make chocolate for everyone?
How... is the result?
Can you... taste this and have a comment after?
I prefer something...
...that's an old-fashioned taste.
I want to feel the passion from it.
I don't like chocolate.
"Old-fashioned" means you have to reduce the amount of cocoa.
For "passion", that's the taste with black pepper which is spicy.
Sakota-san likes something that can be bitten, so add nuts.
Walnuts and almonds are also healthy.
Are you really a cop?
Get out of here. Men must not disturb us in the kitchen.
Just patiently wait until it's finished.
Why do you know so much, Takahira-san?
I often make it for my daughter.
At home,
I'm the one who makes...
...chocolate cake during Valentines Day.
It's not common.
Takahira-san. There's a guest waiting for you.
For me?
Koume!
Dad!
"Dad"?
When I was drying clothes, she said, "I'm Takahira's daughter."
I'm Koume Takahira.
So, this is Maison De Police.
I'll share this on Instagram.
Wait, Koume.
Is someone here?
I'm his daughter, Koume.
Welcome, Koume. Please have a seat here.
Gosh! A lab coat! It's cool!
- Over here. Sit down. -Wait, Koume.
Here.
Wait a minute.
I heard about you from my father.
Date-san, Sakota-san, Toudou-san, Natsume-san.
All of you are my father's subordinates, aren't you?
Subordinate?
You must be Hiyoko Makino.
Because my father is an ace of Division One before,
you must came here because you want to learn from him.
Division One's ace...?
Then... why are you here, Koume?
Actually, I have a case that I want you to solve.
A case?
My close friend... became a suspect.
Please, father. Ask your team to save my friend.
A team...?
(Maison De Police)
(Episode 6, The Legendary Detective)
Koume-san...
...please wait for a minute.
We need to talk to your father.
Oi, Takahira. What happened?
I've never been your subordinate, Takahira-san.
We're not a member of your team!
Did I said that?
Takahira-san, is it possible...
Are you lying to your family?
I'm not lying to them. That's just a little exaggeration.
What did you say to them?
Do you want them to know the truth?
At the headquarters, you're always behind the desk as you don't have field work experience.
Don't say it like that!
If that's the case, tell us everything!
I'm a...
...former ace of Division One and legendary detective,
and known as "Takaatsu the Tortoise".
After retiring, I made a team having my subordinates...
...and we solved difficult cases, or something like that.
You deceived us!
Like Hollywood movies or TV dramas.
Why did you lie to us like that?
I said 19 years to them. Now, it can't be stopped.
Seriously, what are you saying?
All this time, you have lied to your own child.
You're a terrible father.
I feel sorry for Koume.
How much longer will I have to wait, dad? I have to contact my friend.
Dad will be right there. Wait.
Okay.
Just go on with my lie until my daughter leaves, please!
Please! I beg you, guys. I won't ask more for anything.
Please, help me.
We owe it to Takahira-san. He has taken care of us.
After all,
what if we at least listen to the story about the case? Okay?
Thanks for waiting. Please sit down, Takahira-san.
Sit here, miss.
- Thank you. - Certainly.
What's wrong with you, Dd?
Here, we're not father and daughter.
A detective and people are involved in the case.
Okay.
Now...
...tell me about the case.
Two days ago, my friend's grandmother was assaulted.
Her name is Harue Oura.
She is the wife of the male founder of Ouraya Supermarket.
After her husband died, she stayed home with her cat.
- Shiro. - What?
- Ouraya is that...? - Do you know?
They have several branches in Setagaya.
Dad has their point card.
- Their vegetables are fresh and... - Takahira-san.
Dad wants you...
...to calm down a little bit.
What... happened to that woman?
Her head was beaten... by a vase in her room.
She collected vases. The culprit hit her with that.
The neighbors said they heard strange sounds around noon.
- She was found by... - Mom.
...the second generation Ouraya Supermarket president, Eiji Oura.
He arrived at 6:00 p.m.
The front door was locked at that time.
Mom?
Harue was taken to the hospital,
but she shouldn't be visited, that's why, he did not talked about it to the police.
When the police investigated, the money she always had was gone,
then initially, the police thought this was a robbery,
but there is no window that was broken,
and the front door was locked.
So, the family that has the door key becomes the main suspect.
Family?
Right.
They are all very suspicious.
First is Harue's oldest daughter, Tomie Nakamatsu.
She married the president of a trading company,
but the only happiness in her life is going to shopping.
It appears that she has a lot of debt.
Second, the person who first discovered the body, Eiji Oura.
He became president,
but had a fight with Harue for refusing to give her shares.
Third, Harue's second son, Jusaburo Oura.
Now, he has a second-hand clothes shop, but it's almost bankrupt.
Fourth, Jusaburo's wife, Fujiko.
She took care of Harue,
but seemed to be badly treated by the family.
You know a lot.
My friend told me about this.
A friend?
Tomie's only first son, Shun Nakamatsu.
Shun is a guitarist in the band,
and often goes to his grandmother's house because he is lonely.
Because the police found his fingerprint...
...on the dressing table where the money was saved, he became a suspect.
However, that afternoon, on the day of the incident, Shun and I were in the cafe.
But, they say my testimony is not credible...
...because I could lie to protect my boyfriend.
Please help, Dad.
Help me and also Shun.
You mean,
the person you want to help father is...
...your boyfriend?
- Right. - Koume.
Dad never knew you had a boyfriend.
However, I told Mother, so, I'm sure you know.
Your mother thought that you had immediately told me, Koume.
Dad said to tell me things like this, right?
- Come on, I have to check it... - Takahira-san!
A detective and people are involved in the case.
First,
I want to meet your boyfriend.
What?
Dad wants to investigate this case?
First, you have to see it for yourself.
Thanks, Dad!
Hold on first. Takahira-san, this and that is not...
Okay.
What if he came here with all the family members who became suspects?
- Date-san? - Okay.
- I'll tell Shun about this. - Can he do it?
None of them wants to be a suspect.
If we say the legendary detective team will investigate, I'm sure they will come.
I will contact Shun soon.
Okay.
I was worried because Koume always met useless men.
Then, she got a new boyfriend without telling me.
Most importantly, are you really sure that...
...you will investigate this case?
- Investigate? - Yes.
Your lies must be revealed.
This is bad.
Gosh.
This is chaos. Get it done.
We only promised to listen.
Seriously.
My family can be ruined!~
So that Takahira-san can solve this case,
- I ask you, Natsume-kun,... - Yes.
- and Hiyori-san,... - Yes.
...to investigate it.
What?~ You mean us?
This is a joke. Why do we have to...
I'll call the police officer who will handle... this case.
What? Wait...
Because it has been decided, I have to prepare to welcome the guests.
Let me cook for the dinner.
This is a dinner full of suspects.
Excuse me. come here.
Please check him.
We have to ask them.
You're right.~
Really?
Ah, right.
Uhm, this one...
Can you see this?
Do you know Oura-san?
No.
My stomach hurts.
I have to go to the toilet.
Wine. Where's the wine?
(Yanagimachikita Police Station)
I've never heard dinner full of suspects.
What's this? Agatha Christie?
Do you like her works, Harada-san?
I never read those.
The Seta police station must be upset,
You gather the suspects and investigate it by yourself.
This is only a dinner.
Chief, Harada-san, want to go there?
You must be crazy.
- Okay. - Makino.
The lab results have come out.
Thank you very much.
Lab results?
We found something in Harue Oura's cat's claw.
I asked it to be tested for experiment.
Do you like my present?
Superb.
I'll treat you next time.
The picture is getting clearer.
If the dinner plan runs smoothly,
hopefully, the culprit will reveal itself.
The most important thing is to pressure the suspect.
That's when... I'll reveal my deduction...
...and say, "You're the culprit!" I've been wanting to do it for a long time.
Takahira-san, this is not a game.
Based on the situation, you will use evidence...
...so that the culprit will confess.
If they mess up, they will even make a fuss and fight back.
It would be the most tense moment for detectives.
After you said that, my confidence has gone.
Takahira-san.
We have this.
Natsume-kun will direct you with this.
You just need to repeat the words.
What? Really? This is great.
Like a disguise operation.
- How to use it, Natsume? - Will he be okay?
Yes.
There are some things that only Takahira-san knows.
I'm sure that...
...Takahira-san is very suitable for this case.
- Don't talk. - I can't talk?
- Just repeat my words. - Excuse me.
Makino-san!
What's up?
- Actually... - Yes.
I have something to tell you about this case.
When it happened,
I said I was in a cafe with Shun, right?
Right.
The truth is, it's a lie.
Lie?
I was with Shun.
However, we were...
...not in the cafe.
That's why, I lied and...
...said to dad that I was staying at my friend's house.
I can't tell him.
You understand, don't you, Makino-san?
I guess I can't...
But, Shun has an alibi.
- But... - Don't tell...
...my dad that I was at his house.
This is...
...my gift of gratitude.
This reminds me of you, Makino-san.
Okay. I'll look forward for tomorrow's dinner.
But wait...
This is a chick!
That's how youth is.
Sakota-san, you didn't help with investigation,
so please don't interfere.
Kanda river...
It reminds me of you, Noriko.
Now, everything is well.
The apartment has a bathroom and the walls are thick.
I'm only interested in judo.
Who cares?
Anyways, don't tell Takahira-san.
Makino,
There's nothing changed. We'll go as planned.
Yes, Sir.
Where's... Takahira-san?
Strengthen yourself, Takahira-san.
Koume and her boyfriend will arrive soon.
Don't call her boyfriend.
You have to talk grimly.
I'll say that I'm an evil detective who can't control anger, so I think, they will be soft.
She was like that because her father was like this.
What?
It's nothing.
They're here. I'll pick them up.
You are overreacting.
- We're here. - Hello.
He's my dad.
This is Shun.
Hello.
- Hello. - You are guilty.
- Wait, Sakota-san. - As you meet her father,
I don't think...
...I need to be different.
I think you better see me as I am, a musician.
Nice to meet you. I'm Shun.
I'm Koume's dad.
I play guitar.
What?
Really?
Are they members of Maison De Police?
It's not as I thought.
This is the legendary detective's team, right?
- You... - Hold it in first. Break.
We'll take a break first. We'll rest.
- Rest. - You bastard.
I can't stand it!
Impossible! Never!
Be strong. You're the legendary detective, right?
- What's wrong with you? - Don't let him beat you.
I'll help you. I'll risk my reputation for revealing the culprit.
Sakota-san...
But, treat me with beer.
A dozen of it.
500 milliliters.
- Low alcohol? -Right.
I want to show...
...to Koume what a real man is.
I'll help you.
Toudou-san...
Wine.
Your favorite burgundy?
Right.
You will be fine if you calm down and repeat my words.
It's easier than cooking.
after all,
you are the leader today.
Let's solve this case.
I will...
...destroy them!
Why do we have to come here?
She said they would prove that Shun was innocent.
Just go along, huh?
This house is full of former police officers. Very cool.
Right.
Fujiko.
Relaxing talk is very rude at times like this.
I'm sorry.
Can we begin, Natsume-san?
All suspects appear.
Video clear.
Sakota-san.
We're ready.
Makino... Advance.
Thanks for coming here.
Welcome to... Maison De Police.
Welcome.
Now, we'll...
...hear from Atsuhiko Takahira, Investigation Division One chief, who has solved many difficult cases.
Atsuhiko Takahira will tell his deductions about...
...this case.
Takahira-san, please come in.
Old-fashioned.
Not even like Columbo.
I'm Takahira.
I swear I will reveal the truth of this case.
Dad.
You are...
...Koume's dad, right?
Yes.
I'm Shun's mother.
Thank you for everything you did for my son.
No, I'm also grateful.
Your son is great.
Here...
...is a present for you.
Oh my! I like Gaufrettes.
- The matcha is delicious. - Takahira-san.
You're a legendary detective. A legendary detective!
Thank you.
Enough with the introduction.
Now, I, Takaatsu the Tortoise, will interrogate you.
I hope you're ready.
Based on my inquiry,
Tomie-san...
Eiji-san...
Jusaburo-san,
Based on my inquiry, you three siblings handed your mother's problem...
...to Fujiko-san, right?
Don't say it like that.
Fujiko-san has the most free time.
So, she must did it.
Yes. I don't mind at all.
I never felt forced by her.
However, I heard from a neighbor,
you ignored Harue when she was treated...
...and quarreled about the part of your inheritance.
Who cares?
The problem here is, who is the culprit?
Right.
Did you know who did it?
Let me start...
...with my deductions.
That emotion,
the person who entered the house to steal Harue's money is...
...you!~
...You!~
Don't shout!
Me?!
What do you mean?
I thought you would prove Shun's innocence.
Dad!
Fingerprints in drawers are concrete evidence.
Wait a minute, Oto-san.
I always look at Grandma for worrying about her.
Of course, my fingerprint is there.
- Makino. - Yes.
We also asked Harue's friend.
Harue said...
...that her grandson often comes to ask for money.
Later, she stopped giving money for you.
Shun, what's with this?
I thought you were there out of worry.
The police station also found the same thing.
You better be honest.
I admit that Grandma gave me pocket money.
Shun!
But, why would I hit Grandma?
Harue's cat is named...
...Shiro, right?
So what's with that?
There's blood in Shiro's claws.
The DNA...
...belongs to a man.
(The blood comes from a man.)
Takahira-san, his right hand.
This right hand!~
What?
It's this one.
Sorry.
Are you wearing this shirt to hide the scratch marks?
Shun!
It turns out that Shun is the culprit.
I told you, it's not me!
I never hit Grandma!
I was at my place with Koume all day until evening.
Your place?
Not a cafe?
What is this, Koume?
"My place" is the name of the café.
That's the name of the cafe, right?
Right?
I see.
He believe that?
He just wanted to believe that was true.
Shun-san,
please tell us everything...
...what happened that day.
That day,
I went to Grandma's house after being with Koume.
What time is that?
Around 4:00 p.m.
The case occurred at 12:00 noon.
So, it's after the noon.
I wanted to borrow money to buy a new guitar.
The front door is already open.
Grandma?
Grandma, are you inside?
I'm sure she left without locking the door.
So, I thought I'd borrow money without asking permission.
But there's no money.
Ouch!
Stupid cat!
That's when I left and locked the front door.
Okay. That's the truth.
I didn't make a mistake.
Then, why not tell the police?
You feel guilty, right?
You can't say that there for money!
I told you, I did nothing!
That's the worst part!
Papa,
If you see the door open,
why not worry and look for your grandmother?
If you found her unconscious,
she must be able to go to the hospital faster!
However, you did nothing!
You should be sorry.
Who cares?
You bastard! Shouldn't you be looking for that person who hit Grandma?
Koume-san...
Don't you dare call my father a "bastard".
Koume...
Don't worry about dad.
Then... who is the culprit?
Wait... a minute.
From the explanation,
the culprit stole money,
and leave without locking the front door.
Then, Shun came and locked the front door.
That is, the culprit is an ordinary thief, right?
Right. We are suspected of having a key,
but we are not involved at all!
I admit,
his could be the act of a thief.
However,
the possibilities that I found were different.
Different possibilities?
The culprit...
...is in this room!
Hello. Takahira-san.
I get super thick shiitake mushrooms!
Why is your shirt like that?
Are you a mafia?
- Is this a hearing aid? - Catch him!
Why not tell me? I know it well.
What's wrong? If it's a party, I can take it...
Date-san? Natsume-san? What's this all about?
- Today, we are busy. - Give the bill.
Okay.
Here.
I'll order tomorrow. Go for now.
What?
But...
See you later.
Thanks.
Takahira-san, can you hear me? Takahira-san!
There is something wrong.
It's bad. The device is dead.
Maybe, time was withdrawn earlier.
What's wrong?
Hey!
What do you mean that the culprit is in this room?
You're here, so you can prove we're innocent!
Why are we now suspects?
- Right! - Right!
What's wrong?
Come on. Answer us.
"Help me"?
Makino, take over.
- What? - Follow the plan.
But, give way to Takahira-san.
Follow the plan. But, give way to Takahira-san.
Thank you, Takahira-san.
You have leave...
...the rest to me, the rookie, right?
You have read my mind.
Maybe,
the culprit is a thief,
but Takahira-san realized there might be other persons involved.
This is what caught his attention.
Come in.
- What is that? - We'll put it here.
This is a collection of Harue's vases.
As per Takahira-san's instructions, we borrowed these.
Are you okay?
- I'm sorry. - No, it's okay.
He became reckless.
- You nudged me! - No way! How dare you accuse me!
- You bastard! - Let me go!
Who cares about that?
After all, all of these are just trash.
She's a very stingy mom.
At the crime scene, there were 12 vases and wooden boxes.
Each...
...has a different shape and size.
However, there's one thing that's strange.
The weapon used in the crime is a vase.
However, there's no wooden box of it.
Really? What do you mean?
The vase used as a weapon...
is not from Harue's collection.
However, it was taken to the crime scene...
...by the perpetrator.
What?
What for?
It also...
...made Takahira-san confused.
Why did the culprit bring a vase?
Then... he arrived at this conclusion.
The culprit is not eyeing for money.
The culprit was sure that they would secretly exchange their vases.
Vase? Why are they aiming for trash?
I also like pottery,
so, Takahira-san asked me to investigate it.
I'm very surprised~
Hiyori-san.
- Yes, Sir. - Thank you.
Please see this.
That's the photo I uploaded.
Did you see the vase in this photo?
This is...
...the great work...
...of Wataru Takanashi before his death.
If sold now,
the price could be more than one million dollars.
One million dollars?
Grandma hide a treasure like that?
As per Chief Takahira's instructions,
we reconnect the...
vase fragments used as weapons...
...that was found at the crime scene.
This is the photo.
- It's the same! - You mean, it was broken?
It's okay.
It is here.
We take it out from the original box...
...and brought it here.
Then, what was broken?
It's a...
...broken replica.
Replica?
The perpetrator brought a replica to be...
...exchanged with the original one.
However, Harue caught that person,
so, the culprit hit her with a replica.
The perpetrator... can't steal the vase,
so, the culprit... stole the money to look it like a robbery.
This is... the truth of this case.
Isn't that right, Takahira-san?
Then... who's the culprit?
We made...
...a small trap to determine who did it.
When I... accidentally nudged the wooden box,
someone caught it carefully.
You caught...
...the box in front of you, right, Fujiko-san?
Can you show to us...
...what's inside?
Only you...
...knows the value of this vase.
Fujiko-san,
the culprit is you.
- How dare you do it! - Bad woman!
- Fujiko, how dare you? - You already know, right?
- You must say if you know! - Say something!
- Why are you doing this? - You only care...
...about yourselves.
You are all the same.
You leave all your mother's business to me.
All of you! You all just want the money!
Fujiko...
I...
...have been taking care of that.
"You can't clean it." "Your food is bland."
She just keep nagging!
However, I survived it!
Your mother boasted to me.
She said, "I never told my children about this."
During this time I took care of it,
what's wrong with me who's just asking for a vase?
However, when I tried to have it...
You...!
What are you doing?
Do you...
...want to exchange it?
You...
...are a useless daughter-in law!
Now, it's over.
Finally, I can leave all of you!
I don't need to take care of mother!
I feel much better.
Please.
Cuff me.
It's the criminal investigator at the Seta Police Station.
Hello.
Okay.
I understood.
Thank you for calling me.
See you later.
What's wrong?
Harue Oura...
...answered questions from the police.
She saw the face of the perpetrator.
I'm sure she said she would kill me, right?
No.
In fact...
I'm sure she said the culprit was a thief...
...and suddenly she was hit by a stranger.
How do you know, Takahira-san?
Any experienced detective knows it.
I'm sure she wants to protect Fujiko-san.
What should we do, Takahira-san?
If the victim says she was attacked by a thief,
then we can't hold Fujiko-san.
Discuss this with the family...
...and report the truth...
...to the police by yourself.
Isn't that right,
Sergeant Makino?
Yes.
Immediately meet with her.
Harue-san... is waiting for his family.
Fujiko...
...let's go.
Let's meet...
...mom.
Fujiko-san.
Let's go now.
Sorry for the bother.
Goodbye.
Good job, Takahira-san.
What a brilliant judgment.
That's great, Takaatsu the Tortoise!
The legendary detective is back.
Today, I learned a lot.
Thanks for all your support.
Thank you, Dad.
Ha~
Why is my taste for men so ugly?
Koume-chan.
There's a dessert. Eat first.
What...?
But...
Just wait. Eat first before leaving.
Okay.
Then... I'll go to the toilet first.
You may.
Okay.
It's...
- ...widely open. - Why is that?
So, you mean...
...Takahira-san knows...
...best about family, right?
What?
Date-san, you said,
"There are some things that only Takahira-san knows."
I said that?
- What? - What?
Well!~ It's ready!~
The cookies are full of butter.
Why do we eat cookies after drinking?
I'm sorry.
This is Koume's favorite food.
- Sweetness. - Hiyoko.
Yes.
Can you... bring this to Koume?
- I'm sure she's crying now. - Really?
She could... never cry in front...
...of me.
Please.
Koume-san.
I brought... dessert.
Thank you.
This again?
Dad always makes this when I'm sad...
...without saying anything.
Honestly,
it sucks that he knows my feelings.
I think so, too.
My father...
never thought about what I feel.
So, I'm not sure how you feel.
But,
he is pretty great.
I mean, he's a legendary detective and a loving father.
Thank you very much.
Thanks to you,
Shun was proven innocent.
It turns out he's the type of guy who will steal... his grandmother's money.
Sorry about that.
No. I appreciate it.
You even participated in my father's lies.
You know it?
Yes.
Since my childhood days, he always ignored work and played with us.
For me, it's weird.
After seeing all of your reactions,
I realized I was right.
Uhm... Sorry, we destroyed your father's image.
No. It's not a problem at all.
To be honest,
I don't care if Dad is a great detective or not.
For me,
he is always... the best father.
Don't tell him that I know he's just lying.
I won't.
- Ouch? What...? - Yes?
Ouch! What's wrong?
- Oi! - That hurts!
That's too hard, Natsume! Oh my!
- Let's toast. - What happened?
- Cheers! - Cheers!
I also want to drink.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Look at this!~
Koume-chan gave me chocolate with true love.
She broke up with that punk rocker.
Look at this! Don't! Don't touch it!
Don't try touching this.
Here! This is the chocolate I made because I was forced by Takahira-san.
- I won't get nauseous, right? - It's safe.
As expected from Takahira-san's students.
It's not edible.
I heard that... Harue-san will get out of the hospital soon.
Fujiko-san apologized to Harue-san and surrendered to the police,
but because the victim didn't want to file a claim,
the case was closed.
All of that thanks to Takahira-san's assessment.
Koume-chan's delicious chocolate!
At first, I thought he was a bad father.
Now, I'm rather jealous of Koume-san.
Do you want a father who prioritizes his family?
My father never taught me anything.
You really adore your father.
No way!
It's okay.
Now, you learn a lot from us.
Seriously!
Well, everybody!~ This is your mandatory chocolate!
Very hard.
It should be more sparkling.
I hate chocolate.
You cook it for too long. The cocoa's aroma has already lost.
That's enough! Return it if you don't want to eat!
- Give it back! - I don't want to!
If you want to eat, do it without complaining.
Supervisor Mamiya.
Sergeant Makino.
Can I talk to you?
Then, come in.
I heard you investigated...
...with retired police officers.
Yes.
You must... not be near them.
Why is it?
Maybe, our enemy...
...is there in that share house.
Enemy?
At least, one of them...
...is not supposed to be involved with active police.
Whom are you referring to?
Souichiro Natsume.
Three years ago,
he killed innocent people.
What do you mean?
What did... Natsume-san do?
It's something I can't say.
Anyway, don't trust them.
[ PREVIEW ] - Could it be Ageha? - What is "Ageha"?
He is a ghost criminal whose crime has not been solved.
There are dark rumors about the Setagaya Gigolo.
- You're a murderer. - Natsume-san...
...please tell me one last thing.
