- Chase them. - Me?
Push this.
Noma just left. They used the same car as usual.
Harada-san!
- Wait, Kiyomiya! - Stop now, Kiyomiya!
Damn it! Let me go!
Mamoru Kiyomiya, you're under arrest for obstruction of justice and assault.
Let me go! Let me go!
Section chief...
Here, please.
- It's already completed? - If there's errors, I'll fix it tomorrow. See you later.
- See you later. - See you later.
She goes home quickly these days.
- She also doesn't talk about going home together. She just goes somewhere.
Maybe, to a cooking school or something?
That's impossible.
A man...?
Are you bothered?
No! Of course not. I'm just okay.
Absolutely not.
Do you like thick soup from eggs?
- I like it! - Nice!
That's right. The order of the strokes are also correct.
Perfect.
Your Mathematics exercises... are also right.
Your homework is pretty many today.
- I am back. - Mama.
- Thanks for coming, Mako. - Thank you for looking after her.
No problem. Just seeing her beautiful mother makes me happy.
You succeeded, right?
Yes.
Makoto-san!
You did it! That's nice!
Toudou-san, this is a digital photo.
I will handle it.
Okay. She will go to school tomorrow. We'll say our goodbyes first.
- Okay. - Wait a second!
This. Bring this one.
Thanks, as usual.
This is thick soup.
Okay, Momoka-chan. Later, tell me how your class looks like.
- Yes. See you later. - See you later.
Then, we'll see you later.
- Okay. Goodbye. - See you later.
She reminded me of Koume as a child before.
Don't worry. You will have grandchildren later.
What? Grandchildren...?
Really?
Oh my god!
After Natsume-san and Sakota-san finished their work and returns here,
let's... have an investigation meeting.
Young people are great.
Cooking is worth it.
- Oi, Hiyoko. - Yes?
Don't eat it. Do you really do detective works?
Of course. I worked so hard that I got starved.
You failed to be a detective if you ignored your duty.
Okay.
Thanks for the food.
She's here.
I'll open the door.
Good evening. It's been a long time.
Thanks for coming. Today is pretty cold, huh?
With that, let me hang up your coat.
We called you today because...
we're getting closer to the truth of this case.
Have a seat.
When did you find all that...?
Natsume-san and I disguised ourselves as cleaning staff at Takato Construction.
Not long ago, we became friends and went drinking with them.
We found quite a lot of things from them.
He did look friendly, but he could pick up information. - Stop it.
Well then.
Regarding the murder of Yuzuru Ichinosawa and Shingo Ikehara three years ago,
Perhaps, both of them...
...were planned by Takato Construction Executive Director,
Hitoshi Noma.
This man.
A murder case?
My husband got killed?
Just to make sure, the team is investigating the case.
Welcome to...
...Maison De Police.
(Maison De Police)
( Episode 9, The Invincible Man) Then, Maison De Police's investigation meeting will begin.
Attention! Give respect.
At rest! Applause!
How long will you be like that?
Until I die...
- It's okay. Don't worry. Please explain everything to me. - Yes, Ma'am.
This Noma here is the villain.
He's great at playing chess. That's why they called him, "King".
How could she understand it if you explain starting from there?
Okay.
Three years ago, the body of the Takato Construction's sales manager, Yuzuro Ichinosawa,
was found on the riverbanks of Edogawa City.
He was drowned. No visible wounds found.
He was declared drunk and fell into the river.
To identify the body, besides his wife, Kazuko,
his direct subordinate, Shingo Ikehara, was also present.
From the beginning, the police were reluctant to investigate.
They intend to set it as an accident from the start.
But, I'm not satisfied with it.
His wife, Kazuko, said these words.
My husband...
...has a problem with something, at work.
What do you mean by that?
Afterwards, Kazuko didn't let me see him.
So I ask your husband, Shingo Ikehara, to come and be questioned voluntarily.
Just say it, damn you!
I thought he was hiding something.
Finally... I pressed his jaw mercilessly.
Say it!
After the third interrogation session,
Shingo-san immediately went to the construction site of Takato.
But after yesterday...
Wait a second!
As he was burdened with baseless suspicion, he jumped and got suicide because I have pressured him.
That's the conclusion by the police.
Even though... my husband didn't kill Ichinosawa-san,
why are you pressing it much on him?
I became impatient.
I'm afraid his death will be considered an accident.
We believe this man...
...here,
who is Noma, was involved in Yuzuru Ichinosawa's death.
Why do you think so?
Apparently, Ichinosawa-san has been working long in the Accounting Department.
This man, Noma, was often called by him and they talk for a long time.
After Ichinosawa-san's death,
Shingo Ikehara-san was...
...also called by Noma in the same way.
Why my husband?
We're also confused, so we investigated Noma.
Initially, he was a careered police officer like me.
I will use my connections...
...and... will ask lots of questions.
At the age of 40, when Noma became the MPD Public Security Bureau Chief,
he quit the police and joined Takato Construction and has unusual career movements.
His position rose within Takato Construction...
...then he became the Liaisons Department Manager and then Executive Director.
He is one of the candidates for the next president.
He has a strong connection with the higher authorities.
Because he can ask them for help,
his power is great in the company.
Initially, the Liaisons Department Manager...
...coordinates with the local mafias...
...whenever there is construction or they will buy land.
But, they became very involved with Aoto Gang,
a mob group whose focus was in the Kanto area.
Recently, the shell company for Aoto Gang,
S.K. Industrial Enterprise,
was often selected as the construction's sub-contractor.
This S.K Industrial is run by Tsuyoshi Oguro, a financial mafia.
He runs other businesses aside from construction.
Later, they tried to rent cleaning equipment...
...and ornamental plants to Takato Construction's head office.
We believe this man, Noma,
and Oguro from S.K. Industrial...
...colluded and committed corruption.
From this, we began to see the truth behind the killer three years ago.
As we predicted,
Noma received a payment from Oguro.
Besides, to handle fraudulent transactions, the finance manager, Yuzuru Ichinosawa,
and your husband, Shingo Ikehara, were forced to do illegal bookkeeping.
However, three years ago,
Ichinosawa-san said he wanted to stop doing it.
Maybe,
he said he would leak it to the company or the police.
Then, to protect themselves, Noma asks Oguro, the mafia, to kill Ichinosawa-san.
Then... what about my husband...?
That is to say, he had a reason not to talk when I pressured him.
Maybe Shingo-san was killed in order to remain silent.
Of course, everything we say here is just pure guess.
But,
today, we got clear evidence that Noma and Tsuyoshi Oguri from S.K. Industrial,
have a connection.
Makoto followed them and took a picture of the two of them meeting somewhere discreetly.
That's great!
Then... you mean, this Noma really killed my husband?
First... we will pursue the Ichinosawa-san case.
if the truth is revealed, we will also know the truth about Shingo's death.
I'm sure...
...we will also know the reason behind my father's death.
For some reason,
if it wasn't for Natsume-san, my husband wouldn't die!
However,
If you win,
to that someone else who pressured my husband until he dies,
I want you to arrest him too.
I promise that.
Why are you so loyal?
Thank you for all the investigations that you have done.
No problem.
How are you now?
I thought about quitting chemotherapy...
...and going to the hospital.
It's hard...
...to stay brave alone.
I promise,
we will know the truth.
I appreciate it.
I'll just go here onward. Good night.
Good night.
You know, you're becoming careless in following me.
Maybe, you're better at knowing my position.
Don't worry. I haven't told them about you, Sousuke-san.
I don't think you need to follow Date-san or Natsume-san.
They both have no secret relationship with Takato Construction.
We'll be the one...
...who'll decide on that.
Do you know why Provos personnel do an undercover investigation?
Because Noma and S.K. Industrial might have a secret relationship with someone in the police.
Noma...
...has a strong connection with the higher authorities of the police.
Once Noma knows what you are doing, we, in the Provos, will be frustrated.
The rookie Hiyoko, at the police station, can be easily ruined.
- Is that a threat? - A suggestion.
Don't worry. I have a team that I can lean on.
Why are you pressuring him roughly?
I'm afraid his death will be considered an accident.
If it wasn't for Natsume-san, my husband wouldn't die!
You're a murderer!
Oguro-san...
- Excuse me. - My position is in critical state now.
I'm sorry.
Maison De Police, right?
Interesting.
I think it's time to handle them.
If so, make sure you do it right.
Yes, Sir.
Be careful with Ichinosawa's wife.
His son just died.
Rest assured, Sir.
Three years ago, I couldn't talk to you much, so I came to try again.
At that time, I was very confused.
I'm alone with my sick son,
so I don't know what to do.
What happened to your son?
He died six months ago.
We really miss him.
After he got an accident...
...at the age of four,
that's all I can do...
...after 30 years of caring for him.
Three years ago, there was no data left on your husband's computer...
...when you gave it to us.
Do you know why?
I don't know at all.
I left everything to the people from his office.
After your husband was gone,
who is the person from the company you are dealing with?
I don't remember.
Could it be Hitoshi Noma from the Liaisons Department?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Today, we came to say our greetings with you.
- We must say goodbye to her. - You're right.
My father... was also an employee at Takato Construction.
He died because he fell on a construction site...
...when there were no people.
They said that maybe he killed himself.
I'm sure my father got a trouble with the company.
If you...
...remember something...
...or are in trouble,
contact me at any time.
(Sergeant Hiyori Makino, Yanagimachikita Police Station, MPD)
Somehow... she looks scared.
Maybe Kazuko-san isn't threatened.
We can't ask her about it.
It's difficult if there is...
...nothing to talk to.
What...?
She reminded me of my mother.
When I found out my dad might have killed himself,
I thought maybe it was his fault.
My mother tormented herself...
...thinking about what she did wrong.
That's when there were policemen who came...
...and listened to what my mother said.
Hiyori, come here.
Even as a child, I felt very relieved.
Kazuko is alone,
so I'm very worried for her.
As a police officer, I hope she will talk with me.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
- What is it? - Just nothing.
- Are you angry? I'm not! Father scared me.
Before he died, Ichinosawa-san drank at the bar in Ueno.
On the way home, he fell into the river from the bridge near his house.
The bar is here.
Far enough from the location he was killed.
If it's so far, I think he's aware of it.
Someone must have taken him that far.
Excuse us.
Apparently, Ichinosawa-san drank here for an hour before he died.
That was the bartender's statement three years ago.
Wa that camera there too three years ago?
They volunteered to give us the recording, but the camera was broken, so there was no video of Ichinosawa-san .
- It is such a coincidence. - Oi.
Oi.
(S.K. Industrial Enterprises)
Excuse me.
Yes?
Are there narcotic drugs here? Marijuana would do.
We don't have anything like that.
Really?
I guess Aoto Gang and S.K. Industrial protect this bar.
Natsume-san...
You're... a cop who came here before, right?
I am alone now.
The bar I run is clean and legal.
Finish your drink and leave.
Okay, let's go.
Why did you do that?
We must scare them.
I agree, but that's mine.
Natsume-san!
You bastard!
You must be delinquents from Aoto Gang.
Don't interfere with our business!
Even civilians can arrest you for assaulting.
Shut up or I'll kill you!
I'll add intimidation to it.
Damn it!
Retreat!
Are you okay?
I'm okay. How 'bout you?
You faltered.
I drank too much.
I think that rogue is in the photo of Noma and Oguro.
You only see it at a glance, how could you know that?
If he's one of Noma and Oguro's men,
this means they are desperate.
There is hair.
Maybe, I can get saliva and skin samples.
Even if you get DNA, we can't match it from the police database.
I use this photo to know who he is.
Maybe, this is it.
Right. There's no mistake.
Who's that?
Kazufumi Wakabayashi.
He was a member of a small gang and a director at the event company who's under S.K. Industrial.
- But, Ogura is not there. - How do you know?
I used my own face recognition software.
Do you know that kind of thing?
Do you want me to investigate Koume-chan for fun?
Maybe, I can find photos that you don't want to see.
- No need - You're a coward.
However,
this means our assumptions are correct, right?
What's wrong?
It seems like they respond very quickly.
Maybe because Natsume-san confronted the bartender there.
Wakabayashi's words, "Don't interfere with our business", bothered me.
As if he already knew we were investigating them.
Are you not too worried?
Hello everyone! I brought...
...the best medicinal products!
Are you okay!?
Did you fall from the stairs, Natsume-san?
- I'm alright. Go. - Your wound is big! - That hurts!
Hello, this is Makino.
Good evening.
Yes.
I understood. See you later.
We succeeded!
Just now, I got a call from Kazuko Ichinosawa-san.
She said...
...she wanted to talk with me.
We succeeded! Now, it's only a matter of time until you solve this.
We'll catch the last boss! He can only get that far!
Before he died,
he told me something.
He said,
for more than 20 years,
he was involved in the practice...
of fraudulent bookkeeping in the company.
What kind of...
...fraudulent bookkeeping?
Some of the money...
Takato Construction pays to the subcontractor...
...is paid back to a person in the company.
Who... is that person?
Noma-san... from the Liaisons Department.
My husband...
...paid Noma-san...
...for his cooperation in the activity.
Why did your husband tell you that, Kazuko-san?
His subordinate, Shingo Ikehara-san,
was given the task of handling fraudulent bookkeeping and it bothered him.
This is the invoice for this month.
(Invoice, S.K. Industrial Enterprises)
He didn't like to make young men on his own age do this kind of thing.
Surely, that really bothered him. I guess that's why he told me.
However, when I heard Ikehara-san committed suicide afterwards,
I got scared.
Why you did not tell the police?
Noma-san arrived...
Maybe you heard something...
...about your husband's work.
For the sake of his own reputation, you should not say it to anyone.
My company promises to make you feel comfortable.
I couldn't refuse it.
But,
now, I am alone.
When I think that I should leave the situation will be left like this,
you come.
Makino-san...
I... have met you once before.
Eh?
My husband was hired together with your father. They were close.
My father...?
This is a photo when we visited your home.
You are so happy about your drawing that won in the competition.
My husband told me...
...that your father had asked him...
...about the fraudulent bookkeeping.
Maybe, he's related to your father's death.
That's why... I feel that I have to tell you everything.
Thank you...
...for telling me everything.
I don't know if my husband was involved...
...in fraudulent bookkeeping.
But,
he was threatened by Noma...
...and was forced to do so.
It looks like you will know about your father too, Hiyori-san.
My father is also related to Noma.
Maybe, your father was killed to stay silent,
like Ichinosawa-san and Shingo-san.
Let's eat these now. Later, these will be cold. Let's eat!
Why round table?
Because we work as a team.
Momo-chan... do you want dumplings?
- Yes, that sweet one too. - Okay.
- Hiyori-san... - Yes?
- Okay. - What will we do now?
Thanks to Kazuko-san's statement, it was clear that Noma was involved...
...in fraudulent transactions.
However, that statement alone is not enough to make Noma confess.
Men like him are good at evading. We need physical evidence.
Maybe,
we have one.
Kazuko-san said...
...when Noma and the others came to her house to check data from the computer...
There is no accounting data from before 1998.
Look for it.
Noma and the others searched for it, but they did not find it.
If the confidential accounting data is found, we can catch Noma.
Did he hide it elsewhere?
Other than that,
I want to ask for your help, Makoto-san.
Can you write an article about the connection between Noma and Oguro?
- Are you trying to scare them? - I'm trying to imitate you, Natsume-san.
If someone had known about the secret of that accounting data,
maybe that person will contact you.
I understood.
Can I talk directly with Kazuko-san?
Thank you. I'm leaving it on you
Which voice recorder did you use today?
Kust in case, I keep it in my drawer at the police station.
Don't be reckless.
Okay.
Thanks to Kazuko-san's statement, it was clear that Noma was involved...
...in fraudulent transactions.
I told you to silence Kazuko Ichinosawa-san!
That's enough.
Just stick to the plan.
But,
just do it better.
Anyways, you're an easy-to-replace pawn.
Yes, Sir.
Toudou-san! Time for lunch!
The udon noodles will get soggy!
Okay! I'll go there!
Before he died, he told me something.
He said...
What are you doing?
No, it's nothing.
Yes? This is Makino.
This is Ichinosawa.
Sorry for calling you suddenly.
It's okay.
Have you considered to have an interview with us?
There are other things that I remembered.
I want to tell it to you directly, Makino-san. Can we meet now?
I'm heading to the police station.
I understood. I will meet you.
May I excuse myself...?
(Try the test. This is just the final test.)
Come on.
Okay. I'll come.
- I'm going out for a while. - See you later.
Now, let's go!
Hello?
Souichiro Natsume, right?
Yes, you're right.
I have the confidential accounting data.
Meet me at the warehouse at Shin-Kiba at 7:00 p.m.
How did you know that we're looking for confidential data?
- Natsume, let's go. - Okay. - Maybe, this is a trap.
It doesn't matter.
- You'll miss dinner later. - Don't think about that.
- Let's hurry up - Bring some foods with you.
- Bring some foods with you! - Let me go!
Date-san.
It's been a long time.
Noma-san~, right?
Yes...
We met a few times while I was working at Takato Construction.
I have something important to talk to you about.
Do you have time?
She's bleeding a lot.
Is she alright?
Excuse me.
Kazuko-san!?
- Kazuko-san!? - She jumped in front of my car!
Are you alright?
- The... photo... - Photo...?
Kazuko-san... Kazuko-san...!
Kazuko-san!?
Please call an ambulance, hurry!
- Okay! - Thank you.
Kazuko-san! Please come up from your senses!
You said you like playing chess, right?
What if you compete with me?
I'm not as good as you, Noma-san.
Don't be like that.
You have enthusiasm if you're fighting a strong enemy, right?
I don't see people or suspicious cars.
- Want salmon? - Yes.
Here.
- I don't want you to worry about my blood sugar at this time! - Takahira-san will scold me later.
You know,
you look cool at this time.
Our job is just to prepare to die.
But there is...
...still something you want to achieve.
If you've been out of the game for a long time,
suddenly, you realize...
...your ability has gone.
I don't want you to regret it.
Kazuko-san was killed.
- Let me search her house. - You are excluded from this case.
Take a break.
It's an order from the higher authority.
What are you doing?
Earlier, the Provos officials took your absence.
Chief Araki, listen to this.
I think this is why Kazuko Ichinosawa-san was killed.
Eh?
There's nothing.
(Natsume-san)
Hello.
I will meet a man who have the information.
Kazuko-san was dead.
The recording was deleted.
Everything we do is leaked.
You are in danger.
There are informants in the police.
I promised Misa-san.
I can't retreat now.
Sakota-san, please stay here.
Don't be silly.
I've been a detective since before you were born.
Supervisor Mamiya.
I have to talk to you.
Where did Date-san go, huh?
He said he will come home late, right?
Maybe, we should just do the assigned work.
I retired from the police unit at the age of 40 years old.
Since then, I only worked for Takato Construction.
My career in the private sector was longer than before.
Really...?
I think you already know...
...because many members of Takato Construction were arrested in a fraudulent bid case in 1957,
so the police did not investigate...
...the founding family,
and they hired retired police.
Since then,
easy works at Takato Construction has continued without interruption.
They...
...entered a very comfortable relationship.
Any police leaders who wants to live after retirement...
...must continue to make Takato Construction happy.
Therefore,
I retired early from the police and went to Takato Construction.
- What's this all about? - I'm going to ask you.
You are great, indeed.
I found... a method for definite victory.
I got it while I'm in Public Security.
Black and white.
These two forces are rivals in the world.
It's still fresh.
- We'll go back. - Okay.
Black and white. Both cannot be put together.
But,
what happens if I control everything?
The key is...
...to collect weak fragments first.
(Unlisted number)
Your daughter is beautiful.
Don't even try!
Please don't.
Get out of there now.
Don't ever come back.
Understood. I'll leave immediately.
Then, confuse your enemy...
...and slowly throw away the important part.
- Sakota-san... - What?
Run away, Natsume.
- Dont be stupid! - You're enemy of the police right now
- If you get caught, it'll be over. - How about you?
My knees are weak now.
- You can save yourself. - But...!
I'm worried about Hiyoko.
I'm counting on you.
Go, hurry!
Sometimes,
we need surprise tactics.
Oh my...
Get way.
Yes, Sir.
Your precious daughter will also...
...be a prisoner.
We found a suicide note at Kazuko Ichinosawa-san's house.
Suicide note?
He was depressed due to an unjustified interrogation that you and Souichiro Natsume did to him.
Haven't I told you to stay away from them?
You...
...committed the same crime as with Souichiro Natsume three years ago.
Are you worried about Hiyori Makino?
No way...
Black and white.
If you control everything,
you won't have enemies.
Do you know what he's called?
The invincible man.
No one can touch me.
All of...
...your friends will disappear and you will lose.
If you...
...still want to live the rest of your life in peace,
then, mind your own business.
Otherwise,
you will be...
It should be enough to silence them.
You are really helpful.
[ PREVIEW ] I'm the leader!
Please follow my orders.
Noma must have a weakness.
Are you sure Sousuke is one of them?
Welcome. The game is over.
I'm sorry, Natsume-san. You taught me to suspect everyone.
Sit down or I will kill you.
Makino! Be strong!
