***SIGN*** Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
***SIGN*** 15th March (Saturday)
**[01:31] Yu**
In all honesty, I have no idea what's going on.
***SIGN*** This anime is a work of fiction and has no relation to any actual person or organization. The medical
procedures and equipment used in the show may vary from what is used to treat individual symptoms.
**[01:35] Yu**
How can a person drown in a locked room?
**[01:38] Takao**
Right now, gathering information
is our top priority.
**[01:42] Yu**
Oh.
**[01:42] Takao**
Hm?
**[01:44] Sakurai**
Why, if it isn't Dr. Ameku and Dr. Takanashi.
**[01:49] Sakurai**
Seems we're crossing paths a lot lately.
**[01:51] Yu**
Sakurai-san and Naruse-san.
What brings you here?
**[01:55] Naruse**
I'd like to ask you the same.
**[01:57] Takao**
I bet you're here investigating
the Kuwata Daiki case.
**[02:02] Sakurai**
Kuwata Daiki? Who's that?
**[02:05] Takao**
Come on now. Let's not make this complicated.
**[02:08] Takao**
We're investigating the same case.
Why don't we swap info?
**[02:13] Sakurai**
If you have something interesting
to say about it, Dr. Ameku,
**[02:17] Sakurai**
I might let some things slip
while talking to myself, too.
**[02:23] Takao**
Fair enough.
**[02:28] Naruse**
This again, Sakurai-san?
**[02:31] Naruse**
I'm going back to the station.
**[02:37] Takao**
The police think Kuwata Seiji
drowned his older brother somewhere else,
**[02:40] Takao**
then dragged his body
to the study afterwards, right?
**[02:44] Sakurai**
Yes.
**[02:45] Sakurai**
Kuwata Seiji was the only person with
a key to lock the room from the outside.
**[02:51] Takao**
Nope. Kuwata Ryuichiro has a key, too.
**[02:54] Sakurai**
Ah, but you see...
**[02:57] Sakurai**
Kuwata Ryuichiro has a fairly solid alibi.
**[03:00] Takao**
Alibi?
**[03:02] Sakurai**
Yes, that's right.
**[03:04] Sakurai**
Several people were with Kuwata Ryuichiro
from Kuwata Daiki's ejection from the party
**[03:09] Sakurai**
right up until the discovery
of his body in the study.
**[03:13] Sakurai**
No one's reported him
doing anything suspicious.
**[03:16] Yu**
So there were witnesses, huh?
**[03:18] Sakurai**
On top of that, a young servant
took a video on her smartphone
**[03:22] Sakurai**
when they entered the study
where the crime was committed.
**[03:26] Yu**
Huh? There's footage of
Kuwata Seiji being discovered?
**[03:31] Sakurai**
Yes, that's right.
**[03:33] Sakurai**
That video is what made us believe
this was likely a murder case,
**[03:38] Sakurai**
triggering an investigation at HQ.
**[03:41] Sakurai**
He spurted up a large amount of water
when the chest compressions started.
**[03:46] Sakurai**
After viewing that video, no one would
believe he died from illness or suicide.
**[03:52] Takao**
So no one was in the room
with him at the time?
**[03:56] Sakurai**
Right. The video showed the whole interior
and no one else was in there.
**[04:02] Sakurai**
The video also confirmed
that all the windows were locked.
**[04:09] Waitress**
Thank you for waiting.
**[04:11] Waitress**
Who ordered the seasonal special,
the starry sky curry?
**[04:14] Takao**
That's me!
**[04:15] Yu**
I ordered the doria.
**[04:24] Takao**
Delicious.
**[04:26] Sakurai**
Considering all the evidence,
**[04:29] Sakurai**
everyone believes the culprit
has to be Kuwata Seiji.
**[04:33] Sakurai**
After all, it's obvious he's lying.
**[04:35] Yu**
Lying?
**[04:37] Sakurai**
Yes, that's right.
**[04:38] Sakurai**
When we asked him for an alibi,
he averted his eyes
**[04:43] Sakurai**
and trembled as he kept repeating
that he'd parked up the street in his car.
**[04:49] Sakurai**
Anyone could see he was
obviously hiding something.
**[04:54] Sakurai**
Even so, I don't think
Kuwata Seiji is the culprit.
**[04:59] Yu**
Why do you say that?
**[05:01] Sakurai**
Let's just call it detective's intuition.
**[05:04] Yu**
Intuition?
**[05:06] Sakurai**
Work as a detective for over 20 years,
and you get a feeling for this kind of thing.
**[05:12] Sakurai**
You can just tell if the person
in front of you has killed or not.
**[05:21] Yu**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[05:23] Takao**
Carrots are good for you. Eat up.
**[05:25] Yu**
Then, eat 'em yourself. And how can it
be called a "starry sky" curry now?
**[05:29] Takao**
So, anyway, what do *you* think
happened in that study?
**[05:34] Sakurai**
I believe Kuwata Daiki snuck into
the room and locked the door himself.
**[05:41] Sakurai**
He probably planned to steal
a bankbook or a land deed.
**[05:45] Takao**
Then? What happened after that?
**[05:47] Sakurai**
I have no idea.
**[05:50] Sakurai**
That's why I'm hoping to borrow
some of your wisdom, Dr. Ameku.
**[05:58] Takao**
Other than Kuwata Seiji,
**[06:00] Takao**
do the police have a list of people with
possible motives for killing Kuwata Daiki?
**[06:05] Sakurai**
No, we haven't made much progress there.
**[06:08] Sakurai**
But I think there's probably a lot of people
who held a grudge against Kuwata Daiki.
**[06:13] Sakurai**
He was deeply involved in the underworld.
**[06:17] Takao**
A member of organized crime?
**[06:18] Sakurai**
Well, I'd call him more of a *partial* member.
**[06:22] Sakurai**
He has convictions for assault, extortion,
and violations of the Stimulants Control Act.
**[06:28] Yu**
Stimulants?
**[06:30] Sakurai**
He was a stimulants dealer.
His financial situation was quite dire.
**[06:36] Sakurai**
But we discovered that he'd received
a deposit of two million yen last month.
**[06:42] Yu**
Two million?
**[06:43] Takao**
What was the money for?
**[06:45] Sakurai**
We don't know.
**[06:46] Sakurai**
HQ believes the money was obtained
through blackmail and is investigating.
**[06:53] Takao**
Blackmail, huh?
**[06:56] Takao**
Come to think of it,
the police launched this investigation
**[06:59] Takao**
because of an internal whistleblower, right?
**[07:02] Takao**
Who was the whistleblower?
**[07:04] Sakurai**
We don't actually know.
**[07:07] Sakurai**
Tanashi Police Station
received an anonymous tip.
**[07:10] Takao**
An anonymous whistleblower, huh?
**[07:13] Takao**
Is it possible for me to see the video
of the moment Kuwata Daiki was found?
**[07:17] Sakurai**
No, that's really not possible.
**[07:20] Takao**
What the heck? So stingy.
**[07:22] Sakurai**
Although...
**[07:24] Sakurai**
Since the video was recorded by
one of Kuwata Ryuichiro's servants,
**[07:30] Sakurai**
I'm sure he'd let you see it if you ask him.
**[07:33] Takao**
Oh, I see. I just need
to ask Kuwata Ryuichiro.
**[07:38] Takao**
Sorry, my bad. Well, don't worry about it.
**[07:40] Yu**
Of course I will.
**[07:42] Takao**
Okay! I'd like to talk to Kuwata Seiji, too.
**[07:42] Yu**
Man, I don't think this is going to come out.
**[07:47] Sakurai**
You'd better hurry
if you want to talk to him.
**[07:51] Takao**
Why's that?
**[07:53] Sakurai**
From here on out, I'm just talking to myself.
**[07:57] Sakurai**
An arrest warrant for Kuwata Seiji
will be issued in the next few days.
**[08:02] Takao/Yu**
Huh?
**[08:03] Sakurai**
After that, any regular citizens won't
get the opportunity to talk to him.
**[08:08] Yu**
He's going to be arrested
without definitive evidence?
**[08:11] Sakurai**
They're arresting him *because* of that lack of
evidence, so he can be interrogated longer.
**[08:17] Yu**
That's so overbearing.
**[08:19] Yu**
I mean, even if Kuwata-senpai
*did* drown his own brother,
**[08:23] Yu**
why drag the body up
to the second-floor study?
**[08:26] Sakurai**
Unless the solution to this
locked-room mystery finds otherwise,
**[08:30] Sakurai**
Kuwata Seiji is the only person
with a key who could have done it.
**[08:35] Takao**
Kotori, have you been able
to reach Kuwata Seiji?
**[08:39] Yu**
I've been trying, but he hasn't answered
any of my phone calls or text messages.
**[08:47] Sakurai**
Dr. Ameku. Dr. Takanashi.
**[08:50] Sakurai**
There's one more thing
I'd like to say to myself out loud.
***SIGN*** Metropolitan Police
***SIGN*** Tanashi Police Station
***SIGN*** Metropolitan Police
***SIGN*** Tanashi Police Station
**[09:04] Takao**
It's already 10.
Do you think it's still going on?
**[09:08] Yu**
He's likely being questioned
late into the night every day.
**[09:12] Takao**
Well, since this is the only way to see him before
he's arrested, all we can do is wait.
**[09:19] Yu**
If Kuwata-senpai gets arrested...
**[09:24] Yu**
it'll be over, won't it?
**[09:25] Takao**
"Over"?
**[09:27] Yu**
I won't get to stick my nose into
various cases with you like this anymore.
**[09:33] Takao**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[09:36] Takao**
If we prove Kuwata Seiji's innocence,
you'll stay in Investigative Pathology.
**[09:42] Yu**
I'd also like to stay and continue
to learn from you, Dr. Takao.
**[09:48] Yu**
But there's no way we can
solve this case in just a few—
**[09:53] Yu**
Wh-What was that for?
**[09:55] Takao**
You're saying stupid stuff.
**[09:57] Takao**
Don't you believe in me?
**[09:59] Yu**
I do. One hundred...
**[10:02] Yu**
No, *two* hundred percent.
I really do believe in you.
**[10:04] Takao**
Then stop saying stupid stuff and keep watch.
**[10:10] Yu**
Sorry.
**[10:19] Yu**
Do you think the police want to question us?
**[10:22] Takao**
Huh?
**[10:24] Yu**
Should we leave for a little bit?
**[10:29] Takao**
Okay.
**[10:31] Yu**
Huh?
**[10:37] Yu**
W-W-Wait, uh, what are you doing, Dr. Takao?!
**[10:40] Takao**
Just hurry up and embrace me.
**[10:42] Yu**
Huh? I don't want to!
**[10:43] Takao**
What do you mean you don't "want" to?
I'm not doing this because I *want* to.
**[10:47] Yu**
Wait, D-Dr. Takao?
**[10:48] Takao**
Shut up and get to it.
**[11:08] Takao**
Yeah, just like this.
**[11:11] Takao**
Got it? Don't move.
**[11:29] Takao**
Good. We're in the clear.
**[11:33] Yu**
Wh-What the heck was that just now?
**[11:35] Takao**
Hm? Doesn't it happen a lot in movies?
**[11:39] Takao**
Acting out a romantic scene so
people don't find out you're on a stakeout.
**[11:42] Yu**
That's no reason to suddenly...
**[11:44] Takao**
What else could we have done?
**[11:46] Takao**
I didn't exactly want to hug
a scruffy schlub like you, either.
**[11:50] Yu**
Sorry for being "scruffy," I guess.
**[11:52] Takao**
Well, you got a win in the end.
Weren't you happy I hugged you?
**[11:57] Yu**
Nope. I was more scared than happy.
I had no idea what you were gonna do.
**[12:02] Takao**
What are you saying?
**[12:03] Takao**
A man should be happy
when a woman embraces him.
**[12:07] Yu**
Depends on the woman.
It's not as simple as that.
**[12:11] Takao**
What the heck is wrong with you?
**[12:13] Takao**
You were embraced by a lady like me,
**[12:15] Takao**
and as a man, you weren't
happy or excited *at all*?!
**[12:19] Yu**
Dr. Takao, over there.
**[12:20] Takao**
You really think I'll let you
change the subject?
**[12:23] Yu**
I'm not trying to.
**[12:25] Yu**
It's Kuwata-senpai.
**[12:27] Yu**
He came out of the station.
**[12:40] Takao**
You must be Kuwata Seiji.
**[12:42] Seiji**
Yes?
**[12:45] Yu**
It's been a while, Kuwata-senpai.
**[12:49] Seiji**
Takanashi?
**[12:54] Seiji**
Well, come on up.
**[12:56] Seiji**
Sorry about the mess.
**[12:58] Takao**
It really is a mess in here.
**[13:01] Seiji**
The press and the police have
been questioning me nonstop.
**[13:05] Yu**
Dr. Takao, your house is just as messy—
**[13:08] Yu**
R-Right in the same place as last time.
**[13:09] Takao**
I've told you *multiple* times.
**[13:11] Takao**
That's not mess.
Everything's in its proper place.
**[13:15] Takao**
This is why you're a birdbrain!
**[13:17] Yu**
Calling me a birdbrain again?
**[13:19] Seiji**
So what did you want to talk about?
**[13:22] Seiji**
You even went out of your way
to wait for me at the police station.
**[13:25] Takao**
We obviously want to talk to you
about your brother's death.
**[13:29] Seiji**
I'm already annoyed about being dragged
into something I have no idea about.
**[13:34] Seiji**
Don't stick your noses in for kicks.
**[13:37] Takao**
I'll uncover the truth.
**[13:40] Takao**
A genius like me can uncover
the truth of any case,
**[13:45] Takao**
as long as I have all the information I need.
**[13:48] Seiji**
Hey, Takanashi. Who in the world is this?
**[13:52] Yu**
I know she's weird—
**[13:54] Yu**
She's a tad eccentric, but Dr. Takao has
solved all sorts of difficult cases before.
**[14:01] Yu**
I'm sure she can help.
Will you please tell us your story?
**[14:08] Seiji**
Well, since you're going that far...
**[14:11] Takao**
First, tell me what happened when
Kuwata Daiki came to the party hall.
**[14:17] Seiji**
My brother was fighting with my father,
so I ran over to reprimand him.
**[14:23] Takao**
And then?
**[14:25] Seiji**
My brother suddenly turned to me,
grabbed my jacket with both hands,
**[14:33] Seiji**
then hit me in the head
as hard as he could.
**[14:36] Takao**
I heard you were bleeding pretty bad,
but you didn't go to the hospital that day.
**[14:44] Seiji**
The bleeding stopped right away,
**[14:46] Seiji**
so I didn't think there was
a need to go to the hospital.
**[14:49] Seiji**
That's why I parked up
a short way away and sat there.
**[14:57] Yu**
Kuwata-senpai, please tell us the truth.
**[15:00] Seiji**
That *is* the truth.
**[15:02] Seiji**
I really was alone in my car.
**[15:05] Takao**
A woman.
**[15:07] Seiji**
Huh?
**[15:08] Takao**
It's a woman, isn't it?
**[15:10] Seiji**
What are you saying?
**[15:12] Takao**
You met up with a woman
after leaving the party.
**[15:16] Takao**
You went to her house. Am I right?
**[15:19] Seiji**
No. I really just stayed in my car.
Don't make such wild accusations.
**[15:24] Takao**
Seguchi Yuko.
**[15:26] Seiji**
What?
**[15:27] Yu**
Hm?
**[15:29] Yu**
You mean Seguchi-san?
**[15:32] Takao**
Yeah, this man went to
see that plastic surgeon.
**[15:36] Seiji**
No, you're wrong. What's your basis for that?
Don't make stuff up.
**[15:41] Takao**
My basis?
**[15:42] Takao**
The scar on your forehead.
**[15:48] Takao**
Kotori, you can tell as a former surgeon.
**[15:52] Yu**
Sorry to be a bother, but could you show me?
**[15:58] Yu**
This is w-plasty.
**[16:01] Takao**
Yeah. The wound was stitched up
using a very advanced technique.
**[16:06] Takao**
But on your medical notes, Seguchi Yuko wrote
the wound wasn't bad enough to need stitches.
**[16:13] Seiji**
That's...
**[16:15] Yu**
In other words, on that day,
after Kuwata-senpai left the party,
**[16:19] Yu**
he went to Dr. Seguchi's home
and had her take a look at his wound?
**[16:24] Yu**
But why would he try to hide that?
**[16:26] Takao**
You're so dense.
**[16:28] Takao**
Put simply, this guy's having
an affair with Seguchi Yuko.
**[16:32] Yu**
What?!
**[16:33] Takao**
But that woman's terrible, too.
**[16:36] Takao**
She'd rather keep their affair a secret
than give her lover an alibi.
**[16:39] Seiji**
That's not true!
**[16:40] Seiji**
Yuko-san said we should tell the police
even if it meant revealing our affair.
**[16:47] Seiji**
*I* was the one who stopped her.
**[16:49] Takao**
You're going to be arrested at this rate.
**[16:52] Seiji**
Arrested?
**[16:53] Takao**
Yeah, that's right. I got that info
from the police, so I'm sure of it.
**[16:57] Seiji**
No way.
**[16:59] Seiji**
I didn't kill my brother!
**[17:01] Takao**
Then, you should get Seguchi Yuko
to confirm your alibi.
**[17:05] Takao**
Just be careful and make sure
her husband doesn't find out.
**[17:09] Seiji**
How?
**[17:11] Takao**
Hm, let's see...
**[17:13] Takao**
Is it possible to call Seguchi Yuko here?
**[17:26] Sakurai**
I see.
**[17:29] Sakurai**
That account probably won't be enough.
**[17:33] Sakurai**
Kuwata Seiji will still be arrested.
**[17:36] Takao**
Why? These two were making out
when the incident happened!
**[17:41] Takao**
That's a reasonable alibi!
**[17:43] Yu**
Making out, she says.
**[17:45] Sakurai**
Since they're lovers, Dr. Seguchi is
no longer an uninvolved third party.
**[17:50] Sakurai**
She would be considered
someone close to the suspect.
**[17:54] Sakurai**
HQ will just think Dr. Seiji asked his lover,
Dr. Seguchi, to make up an alibi for him.
**[18:02] Yuko**
No way.
**[18:04] Yuko**
Seiji-san was definitely at my house.
**[18:07] Yuko**
I'm not lying!
**[18:11] Sakurai**
I wish there was some way to get
third-party confirmation of that.
**[18:15] Sakurai**
Either way, as of right now, Dr. Seiji is
the only one capable of committing the crime.
**[18:21] Yuko**
I can't believe he's going to
be arrested because of that.
**[18:26] Yu**
In the end, we have to solve
the locked-room mystery,
**[18:29] Yu**
and make it possible for someone other
than Kuwata-senpai to be the culprit.
***SIGN*** Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
***SIGN*** 16th March (Sunday)
**[18:46] Clerk**
*It's locked.*
**[18:48] Kojiro**
*Damn it. Brother, hurry up!*
**[18:51] Kojiro**
*It's locked and won't open.*
**[18:56] Ryuichiro**
*Duh... Daiki.*
**[19:00] Takao**
Stop there, Kotori.
**[19:01] Yu**
Oh, right.
**[19:03] Takao**
Were you the one who vomited?
**[19:06] Ryuichiro**
I wasn't feeling too good that day
after Daiki showed up.
**[19:12] Ryuichiro**
I felt a wave of nausea and dizziness
as I was going up the stairs,
**[19:17] Ryuichiro**
and once the door was open...
**[19:18] Takao**
You vomited.
**[19:21] Takao**
There was no one else in the room
and the windows were all shut.
**[19:26] Takao**
It's definitely a locked-room case.
**[19:29] Takao**
Continue.
**[19:30] Yu**
Right.
**[19:32] Takao**
If Kuwata Seiji isn't the culprit,
**[19:36] Kojiro**
*He's in cardiac arrest.*
**[19:36] Takao**
there's a chance Kuwata Daiki
locked the room from inside.
**[19:37] Ryuichiro**
*What?*
**[19:38] Kojiro**
*We need to resuscitate him.*
**[19:39] Kojiro**
*Call for an ambulance.*
**[19:41] Kojiro**
*One, two, three, four—*
**[19:42] Yu**
Huh?
**[19:46] Yu**
I'll rewind a bit.
**[19:52] Ryuichiro**
*Duh... Daiki.*
**[20:02] Kojiro**
*He's in cardiac arrest.*
**[20:04] Ryuichiro**
*What?*
**[20:05] Kojiro**
*We need to resuscitate him.*
**[20:06] Kojiro**
*Call for an ambulance.*
**[20:08] Clerk A**
*Y-Yes, sir.*
**[20:10] Kojiro**
*One, two, three, four—*
**[20:15] Yu**
That's weird.
**[20:17] Ryuichiro**
What is it?
**[20:18] Yu**
