Slayer of my father and mother!
S-scoundrel! You must be...!
Long it has taken to find you, but at last, here I stand!
Slayer of my father and mother!
W-wait! Can't we strike a bargain?
Please. I'll give you all my fortune! Just spare my life!
Die, and beg pardon of my father and mother in the afterlife!
This guy has a pistol in an underarm holster.
It's all right, Danny.
This is a man you can trust. Not to worry.
Please leave us for a bit.
Understood.
Sorry about that.
He's a gifted bodyguard, and has a good head on his shoulders...
But sometimes, he can act the way you just saw.
Don't worry about it. A man loyal to his job is a man you can trust.
I will hear why you called me.
I want this man, Ronald Crump, to pay for what he's done.
I work in real estate, and 10 years ago, while pursuing a certain interest, -
I went up against this man, who's in the same industry.
We made a bet, and agreed that whoever won would concede.
I ended up losing, -
and suddenly that man got so big that he came to be called the "Real Estate King".
But as it turns out, the bet was...
It was fixed.
E-exactly!
That son of a bitch said, "I'll settle this with a bet" and we took that bet to the racetrack.
Then...
You write down which will win, an odd- or even-numbered one, -
then put it in your breast pocket without showing me.
I'll go with whichever you don't bet on.
This will do?
Yes.
Go, go!
Would you mind showing me?
That won't be necessary.
He cheated me.
His monopoly on that job surely netted him $20 million.
I relented because I believed that our bet was a fair one.
But ever since I've learned it was a con, I...
I can't forgive him!
There are conditions to my hiring you. One, you must kill him in front of me.
Two, you must bring no harm at all to anyone but him.
What do you say, Mr. Duke Togo?
I will need your help to put those conditions in place.
Are you prepared for that?
Yes, of course.
Very well.
I'll do it.
Ah. Thank you.
Father! Mother! Did you see?
Your slayer... Your slayer has been struck down!
You have done well. I give you my thanks.
Y-you! What are you doing?!
Listen closely!
I have deceived you. For that man is not your parents' slayer...
It was all a fiction that I created!
Wh... What was that?!

Crump usually sticks to the top floor of Crump Tower, a super high-rise building that he owns.
What brings the target down from there?
He comes down for work, of course. But he also likes watching plays and musicals.
That's why you may be able to get him at the theater.
Understood. Give me a little time.
I'll be in touch.
Night of the Murder
I'd like to come see it again on the 13th of next month. Are there any seats?
Unfortunately, we've been rented out for that day. How about some other day?
I see. Some other time, then.
I'm very sorry.
On the 13th of next month, Crump plans to rent out a Broadway theater to watch a performance.
You'll write Crump a letter and visit the theater, saying that you want to reestablish old ties.
Then, as a sign of good faith, have a delivery service prepare a light meal.
I'll take care of the arrangements, so just play along with things when you're there.
Paying deference to that bastard angers me to no end, but it can't be helped. I understand.
Please arrange things.
Just what's going on? What are you trying to do, Mr. Jansen?
Never you mind! Just do what I tell you to. This is my...
My problem alone.
It's been some time. I'm happy to see you again.
The designs were based on my own judgments.
The gunpowder was mixed to your specifications.
Try assembling it. You don't need me to tell you how to put it together, do you?
Well, it may not look like much, but you can let that slide.
Your target is a close one this time.
What happens if I shoot a second round?
It might fire, but it could also misfire.
That's the kind of alloy it is.
So it passed the test.
Make sure you get rid of all the data on this metal, as well as the remaining bullets.
Meh, I know that! Don't worry yourself needlessly.
I look forward to a job well done.
Come in.
Ah! I'm sorry for disturbing your entertainment. I'll come back.
That's fine. Tell me what it is.
Well, you've received a letter from a man named "Jansen".
Jansen?
Oh, that decrepit old land shark? I swindled a job out from under him a while back.
"I heard that you've rented out a theater for the evening of the 13th next month.
"That day is actually my 60th birthday.
"There are other things I wish to discuss with you, so may I visit you at the theater?"
That's what it says.
Hmph! There's no way that old buzzard could pull off some scheme now.
Tell him, "With pleasure."
Well, Mr. Jansen!
It's been a long time. Ten years since we met at the racetrack.
I'm sorry for the intrusion.
This is my bodyguard, Danny, and my assistant-slash-manager, Togo.
I have these two accompany me wherever I go. I hope you don't mind.
Nah, not at all. Incidentally, so long as we're keeping this visit civil, -
I would like it to be weapons free. All right?
What do you say we store any weapons on you in the theater office?
Yes, that's fine, of course.
Hm? This is...
A bulletproof vest. I always wear it.
I'll take that piece from you.
All three of you getting patted down... This has become quite the spectacle, huh?
I'll need to open this.
Fine.
The heck is this?
It's a mockup.
A mockup of an urban area under redevelopment, which I'm overseeing.
Those are disposable handwarmers, made in Japan. I tend to get rather cold. Also...
I brought those for my birthday. They're really just trifles, but...
I wonder if you'd mind giving everyone one.
For your birthday, huh?
Mr. Jansen, you have gotten old. Very well. Everyone, let's celebrate together.
Mr. Jansen, happy birthday!
Thank you. You've made this a good birthday.
Incidentally, in addition to my having come here, I also prepared a light meal to be delivered.
Yeah, I heard. Those guys over there, huh?
And yet, I am so glad to have encountered you!
Thanks to you, I've learned that HE was the one responsible for Father and Mother's death!
He is the man I've looked for this whole time!
That's right. He is the man behind everything, all of it!
Still, renting out an entire theater just for one stage... You're doing quite well for yourself. That's right. He is the man behind everything, all of it!

Things have gone rather nicely since that deal 10 years ago.
Long have I wandered, lost at the bottom of the sea, -
Things have gone rather nicely since that deal 10 years ago. but finally I can crawl my way upward!
I did you quite the disservice, didn't I, Mr. Jansen? but finally I can crawl my way upward!
I did you quite the disservice, didn't I, Mr. Jansen?
I will find that man, -
I did you quite the disservice, didn't I, Mr. Jansen? and finish all of this by my own hands!
What manner of harsh life have you lived? You have lived subsisting only on hatred.
I understand your feelings.
At last, the time has come for you to be released from your torment!
By these hands, I shall have vengeance!
I will strike down the slayer of my father and mother!
I'll have the soup.
It's hot, so please be careful.
The second act will begin in two minutes.
Ah, it's gonna start. Let's get back to our seats. That was quite delicious.
Was it? I'm glad to hear that.
Huh? Aren't you going to clean up?
We were instructed to do so after the play has finished.
We mustn't be a bother to the audience.
You've got a point.
Guess you can't clean up in a hurry, huh?
Never could I allow it! This burden is mine and mine alone!
The chance has come for me to release this hatred!
Without your counsel, I would have had to live out my life in torment!
Slayer of my father and mother!
S-scoundrel! You must be...!
Long it has taken to find you, but at last, here I stand!
Slayer of my father and mother!
W-wait! Can't we strike a bargain?
Please. I'll give you all my fortune! Just spare my life!
Die, and beg pardon of my father and mother in the afterlife!
M-Mr. Crump!
What is it?!
Mr. Crump!
Mr. Crump's been shot!
Y-you all! Don't you dare move!
Turn the lights on!
Call the cops!
Dammit! What the hell?! When did he get shot? During the play? When they shot that gun?!
Come to think of it, the sound effect for the gun sounded different from usual.
That's right. I thought so, too.
This was just a contract job for us.
The guards could tell you that we were in the lounge the whole time. Right?
Do you mind if we clean up?
Yeah. Go ahead.
Going by the facts, one of these three is the culprit. I'm sure of it!
Mr. Jansen was sitting next to the victim.
He couldn't have put a bullet in the back of his head.
Run a gunpowder residue test at once! You'll learn who did this soon enough!
It won't do any good.
Why would that be?
Before the play began, all of us set off crackers to celebrate Mr. Jansen's birthday.
The powder from that would probably show up in a residue test.
In any case, until we can find the murder weapon, we've got nothing.
No one's set foot outside this theater. Look again! Search this theater from top to bottom!
I've done some thinking.
Going by the facts, the culprit is either you or me. But it definitely wasn't me.
Which means YOU did it.
With that it mind, -
I've thought this whole time about how you came up with a gun, how you hid it.
And then, finally, I understood.
You left your seat, went to the bathroom for a bit.
You melted down the bulletproof vest that you'd prepared and made the gun's parts.
Mixing the contents of the pocket warmers with water creates a quicklime that produces heat.
Using that gun, you waited for the gunfire in the play, -
aimed for Crump, and shot him!
Then you dropped the gun into the consommé soup pot.
The gun was made of a special metal that melted at the bottom of the pot, which was very hot.
Once the solid fuel had broken it down, it would stick to the bottom of the pot and harden.
Seen from above, it would probably just look like nonstick coating.
Well? How's my theory?
It's a good story.
So, do you plan to tell that to the police?
No, I don't. That would go against the wishes of Mr. Jansen, the man who hired you.
I just wanted to know the truth.
Then, with nothing to contradict it, what you've said might well be the truth.
He had the confidence to do it in one shot, under those circumstances?
Who is this man?!
He paid me all that money just to throw this away? What a strange guy.

A filly named Gilfy is the hope of the classic horseracing world.
However, her thoroughbred pedigree was actually a lie.
Golgo is hired for a shot that will put an end to Gilfy's victory.
The bullet of that M16 will usher in a race of tragedy...
