Yes, ma'am!

You can go home and sleep.

What?
[00:24] Toto
Why? I can handle working
through two nights in a row!
[00:27] Toto
I can still do this!

You sure have it rough, eh?
[00:46] Kiku
If you don't show some results soon,
[00:49] Kiku
you might get kicked out
of Investigation Division 1.
[00:51] Toto
You think so too, Kiku-san?
[00:54] Kiku
You've been fooled by a culprit
and let them get away twice, haven't you?
[00:59] Toto
Three times.
[00:59] Kiku
And in going to a neighborhood
to get statements after dark,
[01:02] Kiku
you got the cops called on you.
[01:03] Toto
I was just so caught up in it.
[01:06] Kiku
That ridiculously earnest side of you
that doesn't think about what comes next...
[01:10] Kiku
I really like that about you.
[01:13] Kiku
It doesn't make for a great detective, though.
[01:16] Toto
I can't say I'm thrilled to hear that.
[01:20] Toto
The citizens are terrified
with these serial murders going on,
[01:23] Toto
and all I can do is wait here on standby?
[01:26] Toto
It's so hard to just sit here.
[01:28] Toto
It's killing me.
[01:33] Kiku
There are already five victims.
[01:36] Kiku
And there haven't been any significant
developments in the investigation.
[01:40] Kiku
If Investigation Division 1
is having this much trouble,
[01:44] Kiku
then he's probably the only one
who can crack this case.
[01:48] Toto
What?
[01:49] Toto
You know someone who can do it?
[01:50] Toto
Who is it? Who is this guy?
[01:53] Kiku
A certain sleuth.

A sleuth?

His personality's no different.
[02:19] Kiku
He also manages an apartment building.
[02:22] Kiku
Try stopping by there first.

Well, if Kiku-san thinks he's the only way...

If he's got this side job, does that mean

Are you talking to me? Might you have
me confused with someone else?
[03:13] Toto
I mean, I think you have the wrong person...
[03:16] Ron
Is that the attitude you take
when asking someone for a favor?!
[03:19] Ron
Go back to the shrine and
try petitioning the gods again!
[03:22] Toto
How did you know that I—
[03:24] Ron
Just go away. I have no business with you.
[03:28] Toto
You have no business with me?
[03:31] Toto
Excuse me, but I have business with you!
[03:35] Toto
Kiku-san of the Metropolitan
Police Department sent me here.
[03:53] Ron
Kiku sent you?
[03:58] Toto
Who are you?!
[04:00] Ron
You're the one who came to visit me.
[04:02] Toto
S-So you're Kamonohashi Ron-san?
[04:05] Ron
Yeah.
[04:06] Toto
With that messy mop
looking like a wad of seaweed?
[04:09] Toto
But you were so squeaky clean in the past...
[04:13] Toto
Your eyes are so dead now!
They don't reflect the light at all!
[04:16] Toto
Come on! Even a dead fish's eyes do that!
[04:18] Ron
Are you just not satisfied unless you say
every last thing that comes into your head?
[04:23] Toto
I'm sorry.
[04:24] Ron
Honestly... Kiku's always
meddling in my affairs.
[04:27] Toto
U-Um, may I ask how you and
Kiku-san know each other?
[04:34] Toto
Is it dead?
[04:35] Ron
It's asleep.
[04:36] Ron
Kiku's son and I went to school together,
so he's looked after me.
[04:39] Ron
Kiku sent me that, too.
[04:42] Ron
He thinks I spend every day crying, you see.
[04:46] Ron
Not that he's wrong...
[04:50] Toto
Are you all right?!
[04:52] Toto
Wait, the floor is covered in cushions?
[04:54] Ron
I call it my Floor of Indolence.
[04:57] Ron
It knows my daily routine
of despair and boredom.
[05:07] Toto
Th-This place is pretty austere, huh?
[05:10] Ron
I don't get TV or internet.
[05:13] Toto
What? What about a computer or cell phone?
[05:15] Ron
I've cut off all
information from the outside.
[05:18] Ron
Nothing good comes from it.
[05:20] Toto
It doesn't?
[05:21] Ron
Do you see now?
[05:23] Ron
How wretched and withdrawn I am?
[05:25] Toto
Yes, I'm getting that vibe.
[05:26] Ron
I've hit the depths of despair.
[05:28] Toto
Rock bottom, you mean?
[05:29] Ron
But for some reason, I don't want to say it.
[05:31] Toto
Then... don't?
[05:34] Toto
This guy... He's a piece of work.
[05:37] Ron
I'm a hunk of junk, frozen in time.
[05:40] Ron
You should go. Give Kiku my regards.
[05:43] Toto
I-I can't have that!
I came to ask you for—
[05:46] Ron
I refuse.
[05:47] Toto
I haven't asked anything yet.
[05:49] Ron
You're not the first.
[05:51] Toto
What?
[05:52] Ron
Kiku has sent others to be my partner.
[05:55] Ron
Young, brilliant officers
only interested in promotions.
[05:58] Ron
He's sent a number of them my way.
[06:00] Ron
I turn them all away after
knocking them down a peg, though.
[06:03] Ron
Seems he really wants
to help me make a comeback,
[06:06] Ron
even though he knows better than
anyone that I'm not sleuthing anymore.
[06:10] Toto
What? You're not a detective anymore?
[06:13] Ron
What, he didn't tell you?
[06:15] Toto
But... I came here because Kiku-san
told me to consult you about a case.
[06:21] Toto
You must've heard about it, right?
Those serial murders in the city—
[06:24] Toto
What the? In the city—
[06:27] Toto
In the—
[06:29] Toto
What's with you?
I'm trying to talk, so—
[06:31] Ron
That's fine.
I'm trying to keep you from talking.
[06:34] Toto
What?
[06:35] Ron
I told you I'm not sleuthing, didn't I?
[06:38] Ron
I want absolutely nothing to do
with unsolved cases and their ilk.
[06:42] Toto
What does that mean?
You could at least listen.
[06:44] Ron
I emphatically refuse.
[06:46] Toto
People's lives are on the line here!
[06:48] Ron
Not my problem.
[06:52] Toto
What is wrong with him?
[06:54] Toto
There's no way this guy
could deduce anything.
[06:59] Toto
Fine. I feel bad for Kiku-san,
but I'm not asking for your help.
[07:02] Ron
Yes, that's for the best.
[07:04] Ron
Petitioning the gods suits you better anyway.
[07:08] Toto
Come to think of it,
how did you know I'd been to a shrine?
[07:11] Ron
Simple.
[07:13] Ron
The pine pollen on your shoulder.
[07:16] Ron
Around here, the only place you'd pick that up
[07:18] Ron
is walking down the path at Wakana Shrine.
[07:20] Ron
Plus, there's the unopened can
of coffee in your left pocket
[07:24] Ron
and the jangling of small change
from your right pocket.
[07:27] Ron
I can tell you broke a bill
in order to offer a coin there.
[07:32] Toto
That's all totally correct...
[07:33] Toto
Incredible!
[07:35] Toto
As boorish and bratty as you are,
those were amazing deductions!
[07:38] Ron
Saying whatever you think without hesitation
[07:41] Ron
is a sign of overreliance on others.
[07:43] Ron
Also, walking the far sides of the shrine path
is a proper bit of etiquette
[07:47] Ron
you must have learned growing up.
[07:49] Ron
I therefore presume
you were raised by your grandparents.
[07:53] Ron
Am I wrong?
[07:56] Ron
Given your carefree disposition,
[07:58] Ron
you're worried Investigation Division 1
might give you the boot,
[08:01] Ron
so you came here looking for help, right?
[08:03] Toto
Urk!
[08:05] Toto
You're right... But that's only
30 percent of what I'm feeling.
[08:09] Ron
Is it really only 30 percent?
[08:11] Ron
The real mystery here is...
[08:13] Ron
Kiku knew I wouldn't work with
you for reasons like that,
[08:13] Toto
He's just like Kiku-san said...
[08:16] Ron
so why would he send me
a third-rate detective like you?
[08:17] Toto
He really might be able to catch the culprit!
[08:20] Ron
You're not having an internal monologue.
You're just talking to yourself, dolt.
[08:24] Ron
I won't help you, so please, just leave.
[08:26] Toto
Please! Lend me your abilities,
Kamonohashi Ron!
[08:29] Ron
I refuse.
[08:30] Toto
Don't say that!
[08:31] Ron
I refuse.
[08:34] Toto
Now it's come to this.
Even if I have to force him...
[08:37] Toto
It's a serial murder case
that no one can solve!
[08:40] Toto
The first victim was killed nine months ago!
[08:45] Toto
Huh?
[08:46] Toto
Earplugs?!
[08:47] Toto
Just how warped are you?
[08:50] Toto
I won't stand for this!
[08:51] Ron
Go away.
[08:53] Toto
Please listen!
It's a terribly frightening case!
[08:54] Ron
Stop it!

It's from my boss.

I'm sorry! I have to go!
[09:26] Toto
H-Hey, what's wrong?
[09:29] Ron
This is why I told you I wouldn't hear it...
[09:34] Ron
Once I learn about a case,
I can't hold myself back any longer.
[09:39] Toto
What?
[09:41] Ron
But I can't be allowed to sleuth anymore...
[09:44] Ron
That's why I distanced myself.
[09:46] Toto
Huh? You mean you want to be a detective?
[09:48] Ron
Of course I do!
[09:50] Ron
Unraveling mysteries and solving cases
is what gives meaning to my life.
[09:54] Ron
Not being able to makes me
feel like I'm going to go insane.
[09:57] Toto
That's why you said you're
in the depths of despair...
[10:00] Toto
And that's why you cut off all
outside information from the TV and internet.
[10:03] Ron
That's not all.
[10:05] Ron
So as not to cross any kind of case,
[10:07] Ron
I've avoided people and lived as a hermit
by being a day sleeper. But now...
[10:14] Toto
You went that far just to...
[10:15] Ron
I have a fatal flaw as a detective.
[10:20] Toto
A flaw?
[10:22] Ron
A truly troublesome one.
One that no doctor has been able to fix.
[10:25] Toto
Could it be... Are you sick?
[10:28] Ron
You could say that.
[10:32] Toto
So the reason he confines himself to this
soft floor is because his body is weak?
[10:37] Toto
He actually wants to be a detective,
[10:40] Toto
but he lives like this because he's sick.
[10:43] Ron
If you get it now, then leave!
[10:44] Ron
If I take sleeping pills to knock me out
for three days, it'll be fine!
[10:47] Toto
No.
[10:48] Toto
I'm taking you with me.
[10:51] Toto
I'll be your support!
[10:56] Ron
Th-Thanks, but I'm not interested
in the trouble.
[10:58] Toto
Why waste your talents?
[11:01] Toto
What could be more important
than human lives at stake?
[11:04] Toto
Right now, I can't think of anything
[11:06] Toto
that should come before
stopping a serial killer!
[11:10] Ron
Th-That's not the issue here.
[11:12] Toto
Please trust me.
[11:14] Toto
I promise I'll back you up
however you need me!
[11:23] Ron
You pure, naïve fool.
[11:24] Toto
Fool?!
[11:27] Ron
So be it. I'll help you.
[11:31] Toto
You mean...
[11:32] Ron
But listen well.
[11:33] Ron
No matter what,
don't take your eyes off me.
[11:37] Toto
You got it.
[11:38] Toto
If you start feeling sick,
I'll push you in a wheelchair.

What are you talking about?

Have you really been a hermit for years?

Yeah, I have.

According to the victim's business card,
he's a private investment broker.

His name's Okamasa, and he had
a ticket for a business party last night.
[12:32] officer A
No one reported seeing him at the event.
[12:35] officer A
Let's see... None of his other
personal belongings stood out.

You're a mysterious corpse, aren't you?
[12:53] Ron
Drowning in a place like this...
[12:56] Ron
Why did you hand over your
valuables without a fight?
[13:02] officer A
Isshiki-san, did you tell him
about how we found the other victims?
[13:06] Toto
No.
[13:07] Ron
Corpses want to talk.
[13:11] Ron
The white froth on his mouth
indicates the possibility of drowning.
[13:15] Ron
It doesn't look like his clothes are disturbed
or there was any struggle.
[13:18] Ron
This nice suit says
he's doing well for himself.
[13:21] Ron
Based on his tan line,
I can tell his watch was stolen.
[13:25] Ron
And determining his identity
with a business card...
[13:27] Ron
means his wallet, containing his ID,
was also stolen.
[13:31] officer A
I see.
[13:32] Toto
You're exactly right.
[13:34] Toto
Over the last nine months,
five people have been killed
[13:36] Toto
at irregular intervals with this exact MO.
[13:38] Toto
All their valuables were stolen.
[13:40] Toto
They had no external injuries.
[13:41] Toto
Testing revealed no alcohol
or drugs in their systems.
[13:45] Toto
And they were all found drowned
in places with no water.
[13:47] Toto
It's like magic. It's unreal!
[13:51] Ron
Any connections between the vics?
[13:53] Toto
Nothing significant other
than that they were all men.
[13:58] Toto
This map shows where
the five of them were last seen
[14:02] Toto
and where we believe they were all going.
[14:05] Ron
A date, a celebration, a class reunion,
a wedding, and a birthday party, huh?
[14:09] Toto
All over the place, right?
[14:11] Ron
If you work out the overlap here,
you can narrow down your search area.
[14:15] Ron
That'll be where they all
ran into the culprit.
[14:17] Toto
But there's nowhere in that zone
with enough water to drown in.
[14:22] Toto
Is there even anywhere you can drown
a grown man without him putting up a fight?
[14:35] Ron
There is.
[14:37] Ron
I know a great place for it.
[14:38] Toto
Huh?
[14:39] Ron
Even after a five-year hiatus,
I haven't gotten rusty at all!
[14:43] Toto
What?
[14:44] Ron
I feel bad for you, but I'm glad to be alive!
[14:47] Ron
I'm so blessed to be detective!
[14:49] Toto
That's so inappropriate!
[14:51] Ron
This is my style.
[14:53] Ron
Treat them with respect and kindness,
and the dead will open their hearts to you.
[14:58] Toto
Y-You mean that metaphorically, right?
[15:04] Ron
Now, let's be off.
[15:06] Toto
Off? To where?
[15:07] Ron
To arrest the culprit, of course.
[15:10] Toto
You already know who it is?
[15:12] Ron
Yes.
[15:13] Toto
The police investigated for nine months
and couldn't crack this, you know?
[15:16] Ron
That's why you came to me, isn't it, Toto?
[15:18] Toto
Well, yeah, but...
it's been, like, three minutes.
[15:22] Toto
Wait, huh? "Toto"?
[15:23] Ron
"Totomaru" is just too long.
[15:26] Ron
"A" or "B" would be fine,
but let's go with "Toto."
[15:30] Ron
First things first, Toto,
take out some cash for me.
[15:33] Toto
What kind of con is this?
[15:34] Ron
Kamo, kamo, kamo, kamo, kamo...
[15:39] Toto
And now he's singing some weird song.
[15:41] officer A
That man seems like bad news.
[15:43] Toto
Y-Yeah.

Should I really be following him?
[15:53] Ron
You look great!
[15:55] Ron
The tacky, expensive get-up really suits you.
[15:57] Toto
Hang on! Why are you making me wear this?
[16:00] Toto
And why am I paying for it?
[16:01] Ron
An undercover investigation.
[16:03] Toto
My usual suit isn't good enough?
[16:05] Ron
Not for dressing up as a wealthy man.
[16:07] Ron
You can't contain your
mediocre police officer aura.
[16:11] Ron
Now, next we have to do something
about that messy head of hair.
[16:15] Toto
Look in a mirror and say that again!

Let's go with this place.

I've worked two nights in a row,
so I'm definitely going to fall asleep.
[16:34] Ron
Really?

In this age,
I didn't think any idiot other than me
[16:38] Ron
would go two nights without sleep.
[16:40] Ron
I didn't peg you for the type.

This'll be fun. You should stay awake.

[17:43] barber
Sir?
[18:09] Ron
That's as far as you go...
[18:16] Ron
Mr. Killer Barber.
[18:20] barber
What?!
[18:22] barber
H-How did you...
[18:24] Ron
Opening locks is a special interest of mine.
[18:32] barber
What?! This can't be!
[18:34] Toto
What's going on?
[18:35] Toto
I held my breath for a minute
during the shampoo like you said,
[18:38] Toto
so I couldn't say anything.
[18:40] Toto
But what on earth is going on here?!
[18:43] Ron
You were about to be murdered
in a way only a barber could pull off.
[18:47] Toto
What?
[18:49] Ron
How is it that none of the victims
showed drugs in their systems,
[18:52] Ron
yet not a one of them put up a fight?
[18:55] Ron
The secret lies in that shampoo station.
[18:59] Ron
The shampoo station was filled...
[19:01] Ron
with oxygen-deficient air.
[19:02] Toto
Oxygen-deficient air?
[19:04] Ron
Air with an oxygen saturation below 18.
[19:09] Ron
If a person takes a single breath of air
when it's less than 10, they faint.
[19:14] Ron
Pouring hot water over dry ice to generate
carbon dioxide would accomplish that.
[19:19] Toto
S-So if I had breathed that in,
then the water filling the basin would've...
[19:23] Ron
You'd have drowned.
[19:27] Toto
But how did you know it was a barber?
[19:29] Toto
Why this shop?
[19:30] Ron
The victims were all men
whose hair was growing out.
[19:33] Ron
Many of them were showing
undyed roots at their hairlines.
[19:36] Ron
So if they all had big events lined up
like parties and reunions
[19:39] Ron
that they'd naturally want to look good for,
it only makes sense
[19:43] Ron
to hit up a salon or a barber, right?
[19:46] Ron
And given the oxygen-deficient air trick,
[19:48] Ron
the head-first shampooing station
at a barber's is likely bet.
[19:51] Ron
From those clues, I figured it'd be
a shop targeting new customers,
[19:54] Ron
so I focused on places in the
victims' overlapping areas of movement
[19:57] Ron
that accepted walk-ins.
SIGN Walk-Ins Very Welcome
[19:59] Ron
The scene of the crime also had to be
[20:01] Ron
somewhere people couldn't
see in from the outside
[20:03] Ron
and somewhere you could get
dry ice nearby.
[20:06] Ron
This place fit all the criteria.
[20:08] Toto
I see. But what if the victims had told
people they were going to a barber?
[20:12] Ron
The profession lends itself
to chatting up clients.
[20:15] Ron
Whether a customer lives alone,
if they had plans to come...
[20:18] Ron
A barber could learn that all
straight from the horse's mouth.
[20:22] Ron
To use that against the culprit,
I had you dress in expensive clothes
[20:26] Ron
and tell a story about hitting it big in stocks.
[20:28] Ron
I made you play exactly the kind of
wealthy walk-in our culprit prefers.
[20:32] Ron
He bought it hook, line, and sinker.
[20:36] Ron
Every detail of the trick
being put into practice
[20:38] Ron
was recorded on Detective Isshiki's phone.
[20:41] barber
You're cops? Crap!
[20:48] Toto
Stop!
[20:57] Ron
I went ahead and locked it.
[20:59] Toto
Stop resisting! It's no use!
[21:01] barber
Damn it!
[21:04] Toto
Why did you kill six people?
[21:06] barber
What? You want to know why?
[21:08] barber
Money! It was the money. What else?
[21:12] Toto
Y-You'd really kill six
people just for the money?
[21:15] barber
It was so easy.
And I don't feel the least bit guilty.
[21:19] barber
Rich people preyed on me first.
[21:21] barber
The debt I'm in from stocks...
[21:22] barber
Do you have any idea what they've done to me?!
[21:24] Toto
Stocks?
[21:26] Toto
This is all over a simple grudge?
[21:28] Toto
That was the reason you—
[21:29] barber
Shut up!
[21:30] barber
You have no idea what it's like
to be someone pressured every day to—
[21:32] Ron
Jump.
[21:33] barber & Toto
Huh?
[21:34] Ron
Jump from here.
[21:36] barber
What?
[21:37] Ron
Someone who devalues the lives of others
[21:40] Ron
has no right to keep living in this world.
[21:45] Toto
Hey! What are you on about?
[21:46] Ron
Jump.
[21:47] Toto
I thought you just wanted
to solve the mystery!
[21:49] barber
Jump?
[21:53] barber
Yes...
[21:54] Toto
Okay, now you're following
instructions too well!
[21:56] Toto
You might be joking around,
but there're folks who'll take you seriously.
[21:59] barber
Jump from here...
[22:02] Toto
Pressuring him so irresponsibly is just...
[22:07] Toto
You've gotta be kidding me!
[22:17] Ron
What did I do?
[22:19] Ron
Toto, where's the culprit?
[22:20] Toto
He just jumped because of you!
[22:25] Ron
I've done it again...
[22:27] Ron
I should've stuck to my guns.
I never should've trusted anyone else.
[22:31] Ron
I have no right to be a detect—
[22:32] Toto
Stop muttering and give me a hand!
[22:39] barber
Help me!
[22:41] Ron
The culprit is alive?
[22:43] Ron
Did you save him?
[22:45] Toto
You can see that, can't you?!
[22:47] Ron
Can he be saved by such a foolish detective?
[22:50] Ron
Without any hesitation whatsoever,
he put his own life on the line to...
[22:54] Ron
No, it's the opposite!
[22:56] Ron
He's a pure, naïve fool!
[22:58] Ron
His body reacts before reason kicks in!
[23:00] Toto
Hey! Stop dissing me and help!
[23:03] Toto
Kamonohashi... Hey, Ron!
[23:13] Ron
In the style of a bungee jump.
[23:14] crowd
Look at that!
[23:15] crowd
There are people dangling up there!
[23:18] Ron
I've changed my mind!
[23:19] Ron
I feel infinite possibilities here, Toto!
[23:22] Toto
What?!
[23:22] Ron
Thanks to you, I've had a brilliant idea!
[23:25] Toto
What?
[23:25] crowd
This is terrible!
[23:26] crowd
Someone call the police!
[23:27] Toto
Just hurry and pull me up, please!
[23:29] Toto
Ron!
[23:34] Toto
What?!
[23:36] Toto
You never told me that your "flaw"
is a sickness where you kill the culprit!
[23:39] Ron
I have no conscious memory of doing so.
[23:42] Ron
Apparently, I always pressure
the culprits to death.
[23:44] Ron
When I come back to my senses,
it's too late.
[23:46] Ron
That's why my solved case rate is 100 percent,
[23:50] Ron
but my arrest rate is 0 percent.
[23:53] Toto
That's awful! That's just too terrible!
[23:55] Ron
That's why I was forbidden
to act as a detective
[23:57] Ron
and why I cut myself off from cases.
[23:59] Toto
Good call!
[24:00] Ron
But at last, you've broken
my disgraceful streak.
[24:05] Ron
The mystery of why Kiku sent you to me...
[24:09] Ron
This has to be the answer.
[24:11] Toto
What?
[24:11] Ron
I don't need some
brilliant partner at my side.
[24:15] Ron
I need a pure, naïve fool.
[24:16] Toto
And that fool is me?
[24:19] Toto
I'm your partner?
[24:21] Ron
Every case you stumble upon...
[24:23] Ron
Bring them all to me.
[24:27] Ron
Don't worry.
[24:28] Ron
I'll assume responsibility
for that brain of yours.
[24:30] Ron
You follow, Toto?
[24:33] Ron
Starting today, you are a great detective!

I wonder if he's home.
[02:24] Ron
Is it a locked room?! A suspicious death?!
[02:29] Toto
Ow...
[02:31] Ron
Heya, Toto.
[02:33] Toto
Kiku-san asked me to come check on you.
[02:36] Toto
I see you're alive and well.
[02:38] Ron
Did you think I'd been offed or something?
[02:40] Ron
So, have you brought me a case
that will set my heart dancing?
[02:48] Toto
No. I haven't.
[02:56] Toto
The Floor of Indolence has taken him!
[02:58] Ron
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble...
[03:00] Toto
Huh? Stop mumbling and just speak up already.
[03:03] Ron
You're completely useless!
[03:04] Toto
Okay, I'd rather you
say that softer after all!
[03:07] Ron
You're wasting my overflowing passion
for solving mysteries
[03:10] Ron
and the greatest talent BLUE's ever seen.
[03:14] Toto
"Blue"?
[03:16] Ron
BLUE is the world's preeminent
detective training academy.
[03:20] Ron
One hundred percent
of the best detectives are alumni.
[03:24] Toto
That'd be all of them!
[03:26] Ron
And of the lot, I had the top scores.
[03:29] Ron
They said I was the greatest
genius to ever grace the school.
[03:32] Toto
What? That's incredible.
[03:35] Ron
But...
[03:39] Ron
during a practical exercise,
all of the suspects I went after died,
[03:43] Ron
which put me under suspicion.
[03:44] Ron
I was expelled from BLUE and barred
from obtaining a detective's license.
[03:51] Ron
I'm forbidden even from sleuthing.
[03:54] Toto
What's a detective's license?
[03:56] Ron
The passport you need
to solve the toughest mysteries.
[04:00] Ron
Without it, I'm not permitted
access to any case.
[04:04] Ron
If I break the rules,
BLUE will punish me with death.
[04:08] Toto
Death?!
[04:10] Toto
Wait... you were sleuthing
on that last case, weren't you?
[04:13] Ron
That was unavoidable.
[04:15] Ron
But from now on, on the surface,
you'll be doing the sleuthing,
[04:18] Ron
while I control you from behind the scenes.
[04:21] Toto
So that's why you said, "Starting today,
you are a great detective!"
[04:25] Ron
You've got nothing better to do, right?
[04:26] Toto
No... but I don't like the sound
of being controlled.
[04:30] Ron
Sorry. Poor choice of words.
[04:33] Ron
You're my puppet.
[04:34] Toto
What are you, the devil?!
[04:36] Ron
Don't be so uptight.
[04:37] Ron
I'll conceal my identity,
come with you to crime scenes,
[04:41] Ron
and give you instructions. That's all.
[04:45] Toto
So why not just give me
instructions over the phone?
[04:48] Ron
No. I want to pay my respects to the dead
and meet them for myself.
[04:52] Toto
There he goes again, not listening...
[04:55] Toto
I don't think that's happening.
[04:57] Ron
Yes, it is! As long as
you're bringing me cases!
[05:01] Toto
Talk about unreasonable!
[05:03] Toto
Look, I'd love to be on a big case too,
but Amamiya-senpai decides the assignments.
[05:09] Ron
Amamiya-senpai?
[05:13] Ron
Hmm...
[05:14] Ron
She's beautiful, isn't she?
[05:15] Ron
I can see why she's got fans at the station.
[05:19] Ron
Since you're in this picture,
you aren't the one who took it.
[05:23] Ron
The reason neither of you are looking
at the camera is that it was taken in secret.
[05:30] Toto
You're right.
[05:31] Toto
A coworker who says he wants Amamiya-senpai
to step on him sent it to me.
[05:35] Ron
He's got good taste.

Unlike you, who gets shrill
every time you talk about her.

That's because she's scary.

H-Hey! Hang on!

Whoa, that was close!

This one's on the nose!

If you're found out, you're a dead man!

This must be the piggy bank
we've heard tell of.

[08:20] Toto
And the lightened piggy bank would be...
[08:22] little sister
In the living room.
[08:25] Ron
Th-This is...

with a rubber valve

from which it is completely
impossible to remove coins!

[08:40] Ron
Pink was the popular color,
but this one is yellow.
[08:44] little sister
That's right.
[08:45] little sister
It was all the local general store had left.
[08:48] little sister
And it was cheap, so...
[08:49] Toto
Now then, the day before yesterday,
were both you and your sister out?
[08:53] little sister
Yes. I noticed it was lighter
yesterday after I got home.
[08:58] Toto
Do you have any idea what happened?
[09:00] little sister
Well...
[09:01] Ron
Ow!
[09:02] Ron
My mustache got caught!
[09:04] Toto

[09:05] little sister
That's my sister's jewelry.
[09:10] Ron
Got one in your pocket
and you gotta put it on, right?
[09:12] Toto
Wrong! Did you come
just to get in the way?!
[09:15] Ron
Say, Toto, why do you think
the thief didn't steal the jewelry?
[09:18] Ron
I see the question's written on your face.
[09:20] Toto
Huh?
[09:21] Toto
Wait, that's a good point. How weird.
[09:25] little sister
Speaking of weird, we've gotten
a lot of silent phone calls lately.
[09:28] Toto
S-Silent phone calls?
[09:30] little sister
It's unsettling, so I made sure
to lock up tight the day before yesterday.
[09:35] Ron
That makes the answer clear.
[09:38] Toto
Did you figure something out?
[09:41] Ron
I give up.

And when my little sister got home...
[10:14] little sister
I noticed it was lighter when I picked it up

But there's no way to be certain.

Whoa there. Please don't touch those.

Thank you for gathering here.
[13:09] Toto
First, I'd like to solve
the mystery of the piggy bank.
[13:12] Amamiya
Skip that part.
[13:14] Amamiya
Petty cases like that have nothing
to do with Investigation Division 1.
[13:18] Toto
But...
[13:19] Ron
That's funny.
[13:20] Ron
I thought it was a case from
Investigation Division 1's trash bin.
[13:24] Amamiya
What?
[13:25] Toto
U-Um, according to the forensics results,
[13:28] Toto
the coins in the piggy bank only have
the older sister's prints on them.
[13:31] Toto
The younger sister's prints
weren't on a single one.
[13:34] little sister
What?
[13:36] older sister
Does that mean that only the money
my sister put in was stolen?
[13:39] little sister
But you can't open that piggy
bank without breaking it.
[13:43] little sister
Something like that
would be impossible, right?
[13:45] Toto
Um, that's...
[13:47] Ron
Toto, I gave you a present
from my walk, didn't I?
[13:51] Toto
Oh, th-that's right.
[13:53] Toto
If you're only thinking
about getting the coins out,
[13:56] Toto
then it does seem impossible.
[13:58] Toto
But if you can't get them out,
[14:00] Toto
you can always replace the whole bank
with a brand new one!
[14:04] little sister
That's our piggy bank!
[14:06] Toto
This same one is for sale
at the local general store.
[14:10] Toto
There weren't fewer coins inside
because they were stolen.
[14:14] Toto
The previous piggy bank was broken.
And in order to hide that,
[14:18] Toto
you purchased a replacement
and put other coins inside.
[14:25] Toto
Isn't that right...
[14:28] Toto
Miss?
[14:32] older sister
Wh-Why me?
[14:35] older sister
Why would I do something like that?
[14:37] older sister
If I broke it, then I wouldn't have
to hide it. I could just tell her.
[14:41] Toto
W-Well...
[14:43] Ron
Your voice is cracking. Calm down, Toto.
[14:49] Toto
The reason you had to hide the fact that the
piggy bank had been broken, no matter what,
[14:53] Toto
is here on this riverbank.
[14:56] Toto
It was a murder.
[14:58] Toto
The death of that man over there.
[15:06] Toto
When you came home,
your stalker was lying in wait for you.
[15:11] little sister
Stalker?
[15:12] little sister
Oh, the silent phone calls!
[15:15] Toto
He chased you all the way
into the living room,
[15:19] Toto
and there was the piggy bank,
as heavy as an iron statue.
[15:22] Toto
You struck and killed him with it.
[15:29] Toto
When you did, the piggy bank shattered,
and blood got all over the coins.
[15:35] Toto
In order to conceal your crime,
you bought a new one and tried
[15:38] Toto
to fill it with other coins.
[15:40] Toto
That's why only your prints are on them.
[15:44] Toto
Finally, you brought the body here.
[15:47] Toto
You used that suitcase
in the entryway to move it.
[15:54] Toto
Given its size...
[15:57] Toto
it's far too large for just
an overnight stay with your parents.
[16:00] Amamiya
The mystery of the piggy bank...
[16:02] Amamiya
and the murder were connected?
[16:05] Toto
I managed to say everything.
[16:13] little sister
That can't be true...
[16:16] little sister
Right? It isn't true, right?
[16:21] little sister
Sis!
[16:25] older sister
It's just as he said.
[16:28] older sister
It... was all me.
[16:41] Toto
S-Still, if you consider how this started,
it's the stalker's fault.
[16:45] Amamiya
Concealing a murder is a legitimate crime.
[16:54] Ron
Go drown.
[16:56] Ron
Someone who kills another and hides it
has no right to live in this world.
[17:00] Toto
This is bad!
[17:02] Toto
This is how he pressures criminals to death!
[17:04] Amamiya
What is that? It's so cool...
[17:08] Toto
Miss! Don't pay any attention to him!
[17:11] Toto
He's just talking to himself!
Don't take it seriously!
[17:14] Ron
Go drown.
[17:20] Ron
In the river.
[17:23] older sister
Yes...
[17:26] little sister
Sis!
[17:27] Toto
This is bad!
[17:28] Ron
Go drown. Go drown.
[17:31] Toto
Amamiya-senpai!
[17:35] Amamiya
Not so fast!
[17:46] older sister
Go drown... Go drown...
[18:16] forensics
They're all right!
[18:17] little sister
Sis!
[18:25] Ron
What have I...
[18:29] Ron
I did it again. Pressured someone to...
[18:36] Ron
I'm so glad she's safe. Thank you...
[18:39] Ron

SIGN Investigation Division 1
[18:44] Amamiya
Case closed.
[18:46] Amamiya
They found fragments of the piggy bank
in the stalker's hair.
[18:51] Amamiya
His blood and prints were also at the house.
[18:54] Amamiya
It's all consistent with her confession.
[18:57] Amamiya
If they acknowledge she acted in self-defense,
[19:00] Amamiya
they may take that into consideration
for her dumping his body as well.
[19:04] Toto
I hope they do.
[19:08] Amamiya
But the real problem here lies elsewhere!
[19:11] Amamiya
You two violated regulations!

[20:15] Ron
For a pure, naïve fool,
you did incredibly good work.
[20:19] Toto
G-Gee, thanks.
[20:23] Toto
Still, there's a part of me that's
hoping for another difficult case...

and the thrill of solving a mystery.

turned a certain crimson called "beni,"

and a lord who saw it reflected
in the hot spring gave it that name.

but the bath is the best!
[10:32] Ron
If only it were stained crimson,
it would be perfect.
[10:35] Toto
Like the story the cab driver told?
[10:37] Ron
That's just what they tell the public.
There's also a secret legend.
[10:40] Toto
A secret one?
[10:42] Ron
As you can see,
the river has steps and runs swift.
[10:46] Ron
They say it often overflows.
[10:48] Ron
This caused problems for the villagers,
so they sacrificed a young lady to it.
[10:53] Ron
The next day, the floodwater receded,
[10:55] Ron
but they say that for days afterward,
the river and hot spring ran crimson.

Where'd you hear that terrifying story?
[11:02] Ron
It was in that pamphlet earlier.
[11:05] Toto

[11:07] Toto
Well, we don't exactly want
the water running red.

Of course we don't!

has to be the winner's slave for life!
[14:20] Toto
Wha?! Hang on!
[14:26] Ron
Looks like I win.
[14:28] Toto
That wasn't fair.
[14:33] Toto
Is there a spare ball?
[14:34] Ron
I only found the one.
[14:36] Toto
We're going to get it.
[14:46] Toto
The ball floated off somewhere and
I'm getting cold. Let's head to the bath.
[14:51] Ron
Don't forget that I won.
[14:53] Ron
Your first job as my slave is to steal
unsolved case files from the station!
[14:59] Toto
Like I can do that!
[15:04] Toto
Ah, this really is paradise...
[15:09] Amamiya
Work just wouldn't end,
and I had to walk from the station.
[15:12] Amamiya
It's already so late...
[15:15] Amamiya
But since I'm here,
I think I'll refresh myself!
[15:22] Amamiya
Aim to be police superintendent general!
[15:53] Toto
Amamiya-senpai, I never imagined you were
the one who won the second prize.
[15:57] Amamiya
Isshiki the fool is one thing,
[15:59] Amamiya
but to think even Kamoo-san
went into the women's bath...
[16:03] Toto
Huh? That was the men's bath, wasn't it?
[16:05] Ron
Yeah. It was the men's bath.

[16:21] Sachiko
Even so, you...
[16:23] Amamiya
You can't!
[16:24] Amamiya
You can't get a divorce!
[16:29] Toto
Amamiya-senpai, are you a weepy drunk?
[16:34] Amamiya
I'm going to bed!
[16:35] Toto
Ma'am!
[16:48] Sachiko
Somehow, that took the wind out of my sails.
[16:52] husband
Why don't you take a dip
in the bath and refresh yourself?
[16:55] husband
You haven't been yet, right?
[16:57] Sachiko
That's true. Thank you.
[17:03] Sachiko
I'm sorry for yelling at you.
[17:06] Sachiko
You just relax here, all right?
[17:08] husband
I will.

It's pretty late.
Shall we call it a night now?
[18:11] Toto
I suppose we should.
[18:13] Ron
Here, multimillionaire. You can

[18:16] Toto
You're telling me to clean up?!
[18:46] Amamiya
I'm a police officer. What's happened?
[18:49] worker
I went into the women's bath
to clean and there's someone...
[18:53] Ron
Toto.
[18:54] Toto
Yeah.
[18:58] Toto
That's...
[19:12] Toto
It's that man's wife.

Sachiko? I thought you were sleeping...

Rigor mortis has begun to set in.
[19:31] Amamiya
That puts the time of death...
[19:33] Amamiya
sometime between midnight and 2 AM.
[19:37] Ron
Pardon me.
[19:39] Ron
I promise I will avenge you.
[19:42] Amamiya
K-Kamoo-san?
[19:44] Toto
He's even doing that here?!
[19:48] Amamiya
W-We can't have civilians
entering the crime scene!
[19:50] Ron
There aren't any obvious external injuries,
but something clearly isn't right.
[19:55] Michiyo
There weren't this many
fallen leaves here last night.
[19:59] Michiyo
This crimson layer on the water...
It's like that story.
[20:03] Michiyo
The one about the young sacrifice
that made the hot spring turn red.
[20:08] Michiyo
What if it's a curse?!
[20:09] Toto
Th-That can't be.
[20:12] Ron
What an interesting perspective.
[20:14] Toto
Huh?
[20:15] Ron
But Detective Isshiki here
just can't stop doubting people.
[20:22] Ron
Isn't that right?
[20:23] Toto
Huh?
[20:24] Toto
Y-Yeah.
[20:26] Toto
Um, did you notice anything between
the hours of midnight and 2 AM?
[20:32] Toto
Someone suspicious or a strange sound?
Anything at all.
[20:36] hostess 2
I'm sorry.
[20:37] hostess 2
Our in is small, so we take turns.
[20:40] hostess 2
There's only ever one
of us on the night shift.
[20:43] Spitz
And that was me.
[20:47] Toto
You were in the lounge.
[20:49] Spitz
Yes. I was watching over all of you,
so I can provide a statement.
[20:55] Spitz
I believe you all saw for yourselves
[20:58] Spitz
that only one individual
returned to their room
[21:01] Spitz
before the late missus left for hers.
[21:07] Spitz
Isn't that right...
[21:10] Spitz
Detective Amamiya?
[21:15] Michiyo
Now that you mention it, that's true.
[21:18] Toto
W-Wait just a minute, please!
[21:21] husband
I remember that, too!
[21:23] husband
So the one who did this is...
[21:24] Toto
There's no way it was her.
[21:30] Ron
It wasn't.
[21:33] Ron
Amamiya-kun isn't the culprit.
[21:36] Ron
It was someone else
who's here with us right now.
[21:43] husband
What are you saying?
[21:44] husband
She left first.
That's a fact.
[21:47] Michiyo
I saw it, too.
[21:48] Ron
It's true that she's the only one
with an uncertain alibi.
[21:53] Ron
But the simple act of creating this
situation was impossible for her.
[22:01] Ron
And I can prove it to you right now.

[03:09] Toto
Wait, hang on... Don't get carried away.
[03:12] Ron
Really, Detective Isshiki?
We already have all the clues we need?
[03:17] Ron
Is that what you're saying?
[03:18] Toto
I—Wa—
[03:20] Ron
I see. "I" and "wa," you say?
[03:24] Ron
"I" for the illustration
of the secret story of Benizome,
[03:26] Ron
and "wa" for the water
turned red with leaves.
[03:28] Ron
Those are the keys to solving this mystery?
[03:30] husband
By "secret story," you mean the one about
the woman who was sacrificed, don't you?
[03:35] Michiyo
And that serves as proof
that the lady detective is innocent?
[03:39] Ron
Apparently so.
[03:41] Ron
Oh, Amamiya-kun, you look bewildered.
[03:45] Amamiya
What's this story you keep talking about?
[03:49] Ron
It was in the pamphlet
you got in the taxi, wasn't it?
[03:52] Amamiya
I didn't come by taxi.
[03:54] Amamiya
And I didn't see any
at the station when I arrived.
[03:58] Toto
Come to think of it,
I feel like you mentioned that before...
[04:01] Ron
That is, you came here on your own.
[04:04] Ron
I know exactly what
Detective Isshiki is talking about.
[04:09] (Flashback) Amamiya
Work just wouldn't end,
and I had to walk from the station.
[04:13] (Flashback) taxi driver
We made the pamphlet
for the annex ourselves.
[04:17] (Flashback) taxi driver
I really am sorry.
[04:20] Ron
She had no opportunity to see the pamphlet.
She didn't know the story.
[04:24] Ron
Therefore she couldn't commit
a murder made to replicate it.
[04:28] Ron
In other words,
Amamiya-kun isn't the culprit.
[04:30] Ron
Detective Isshiki, you really are amazing.
[04:33] Toto
I see now! Nice deduction!
[04:35] Michiyo
That's true. The secret story wasn't written
anywhere but that pamphlet from the taxi.
[04:41] hostess
It isn't a very pleasant story,
so we don't tell it here at the inn.
[04:49] husband
Then I guess it's as the detective says.
[04:54] Spitz
So it wasn't Kamonohashi Ron?
[04:56] Spitz
It was Isshiki Totomaru who solved this?
[04:59] Ron
Now, who's the real culprit?
[05:01] Toto
What?
[05:02] Toto
I don't know! You're the one
who said it was someone here!
[05:05] Ron
What? So you haven't decided yet?
[05:08] Ron
Then I vote that it was a curse.
[05:10] Toto
You've gotta be kidding me.
[05:12] Michiyo
I saw something last night.
[05:14] Michiyo
I don't know about a curse,
but it certainly looked paranormal.
[05:18] Toto
What?
[05:20] Michiyo
After dinner, when I was going back
to my room, I looked out at the river.
[05:25] Michiyo
There was a strange
white mist rising from it.
[05:28] Michiyo
It was like some kind of spirit.
[05:32] Toto
A white mist?
[05:33] Ron
I found it, Toto!
[05:35] Ron
Look at the river!
[05:36] Toto
When'd you get over there?!
[05:38] Toto
You can see the mist?
[05:39] Ron
Of course not.
[05:41] Ron
Look!
[05:42] Ron
It's the ping-pong ball we lost last night.
[05:44] Toto
That was your fault!
[05:45] Ron
The heavy rain washed wood, leaves,
[05:47] Ron
and a gutter down the river.
[05:49] Ron
Add the ping-pong ball, and we've got a dam!
[05:51] Toto
Even if a beaver shows up now,
I want you to focus on the investigation!
[05:56] Ron
Is there anything we can use to get the ball?
[05:58] Toto
We can do that later!
[06:01] Ron
What's that?
[06:02] Toto
What?
[06:03] Toto
A bathmat?
[06:04] Toto
What's that doing out here?
[06:06] Ron
Think it could reach the ball?
[06:08] Toto
Enough about the ping-pong ball!
[06:11] Amamiya
Isshiki.
[06:14] Toto
This is bad! She's pissed!
[06:17] Amamiya
You really helped me out earlier.
[06:20] Amamiya
Thank y—
[06:24] Toto
Her body physically refuses to thank me!
[06:28] Amamiya
However, as long as any
lingering doubt remains,
[06:31] Amamiya
I cannot lead the investigation.
[06:35] Amamiya
I am entrusting this case to you.
[06:41] Toto
Y-You are?
[06:44] Toto
You can count on me!
[06:45] Toto
Amamiya-senpai, I won't let you do—
[06:47] Amamiya
Shut up!
[06:47] Toto
Huh?!
[06:48] Amamiya
I don't expect anything from you!
[06:49] Amamiya
You're just the only one here!
[06:51] Toto
Sorry I misunderstood!
[06:53] Amamiya
This all just so unbelievable.
[06:55] Amamiya
Starting yesterday, when I walked
into the wrong bath by accident...
[06:59] Toto
Yeah, that wasn't like you, Senpai.
[07:04] Ron
Amamiya-kun.
[07:06] Amamiya
Y-Yes?
[07:08] Ron
Excellent work.
[07:09] Ron
You weren't mistaken last night.
[07:14] Amamiya
S-Steaming hot...
[07:17] Toto
S-Steaming what?
[07:18] Amamiya
A superlatively steaming-hot hottie!
[07:22] Toto
You'd let those be your last words?!
[07:28] hostess 2
The police are here.
[07:31] Ron
Now then...
[08:48] Ron
Good job out there.
[08:49] Toto
Thanks.
[08:50] Ron
So, any new information?
[08:53] Toto
According to the medical exam,
the cause of death was heart failure.
[08:56] Toto
According to her husband,
she had a long-standing heart condition.
[09:02] Toto
She'd have fits where she needed
to be taken to the hospital.
[09:08] Ron
Did the coroner say anything else?
[09:12] Spitz
Go on, Kamonohashi Ron! Say something
that proves you've been sleuthing!
[09:17] Toto
There was also, let me think...
[09:19] Ron
Hey, there's a centipede on the wall.
[09:24] Spitz
M-My ears!
[09:28] Toto
There's no centipede there.
[09:30] Ron
Of course not. I wouldn't kill a bug.
[09:33] Toto
Huh? What are you talking about?
[09:35] Toto
You nearly gave me a heart attack.
[09:37] Toto
Oh, right.
[09:38] Toto
They said the temperature difference between
inside and outside caused the heart failure.
[09:42] Toto
It was thermal shock.
[09:44] Ron
I thought so.
[09:45] Toto
You did? You don't mean...
[09:47] Ron
Yes. All the pieces are in place.
[09:50] Ron
Detective Isshiki, you're up.
[10:14] husband
What's going on?
[10:16] hostess
Has something else happened?
[10:18] hostess 2
Or is this about the incident before?
[10:21] Toto
Yes. It's about the late missus.
[10:25] Toto
With the blessing of the local police,
[10:27] Toto
I will now solve this case.
[10:30] Michiyo
You will? So you're saying...
[10:32] Toto
This was a murder.
[10:35] Toto
And...
[10:37] Toto
the murderer is here with us now.
[10:42] Toto
The murderer had to have known
that the victim had a weak heart.
[10:47] Toto
It's you, isn't it?
[10:49] Toto
Her husband.
[10:53] husband
Wh-Why would I do that to my beloved wife?
[10:56] husband
It's true that I knew about her condition.
[10:59] husband
But of course I did. We're married.
There's nothing suspect about that, right?
[11:03] husband
Besides, at the time of her death,
I was with everyone else in the lounge.
[11:09] Toto
Indeed, you were with the rest
of us in the lounge.
[11:14] Toto
Specifically so you'd have an alibi.
[11:18] Toto
Behind the scenes, you'd set a bold trap
[11:22] Toto
to lure your wife to her death.
[11:24] Amamiya
A trap?
[11:25] Toto
Yes.
[11:34] Toto
He left a bathmat like this,
covering the entrance to the bath,
[11:38] Toto
to create a pitfall.
[11:40] Amamiya
Do you think we're stupid?
No one would fall for—
[11:42] Toto
You're right.
[11:44] Toto
Under normal conditions, anyone could
see through this trap quite easily.
[11:48] Toto
But without her glasses,
the missus had very poor vision.
[11:52] Toto
Isn't that right, sir?
[11:59] Toto
Given her eyesight, this was more
than enough to fool her.
[12:05] Toto
This trap made her fall into the bath,
[12:10] Toto
from whence she would never return.
[12:15] Michiyo
But she died of thermal shock, right?
[12:17] Michiyo
Is falling into bathwater
really enough to stop a heart?
[12:20] Toto
Well, it's hard to imagine
under normal circumstances.
[12:23] Toto
But what if the bath wasn't
filled with warm water?
[12:27] Toto
What if it was freezing cold?
[12:30] Michiyo
What?
[12:30] Spitz
Freezing water?
[12:32] Amamiya
This is a free-flowing hot spring!
[12:33] Toto
Ron.
[12:34] Ron
Okay.
[12:46] Toto
We found this discarded in the river.
This is how it was done.
[12:51] Amamiya
A rain gutter?
[12:53] Toto
Her husband knew there was an elevation
difference between the river and the bath.
[12:57] Toto
He made clever use of that.
[12:59] Toto
He used two rain gutters. One drew
water from upstream into the bath.
[13:04] Toto
Then, by drawing the hot water
from the bath into the river,
[13:06] Toto
he was able to create a freezing-cold spring.
[13:09] Michiyo
Then the white mist I saw last night was...
[13:12] Toto
That's right.
[13:13] Toto
It wasn't a paranormal phenomenon.
[13:16] Toto
It was steam from the hot bathwater
hitting the cold river.
[13:22] Toto
There was just one hitch.
[13:25] Toto
All those fallen leaves in the river
from the heavy rains two days ago
[13:30] Toto
ended up in the hot spring.
[13:33] Toto
He couldn't pick out each and every one.
[13:36] Toto
So he decided to make use
of the hidden legend.
[13:40] Toto
He gathered up even more fallen leaves
[13:42] Toto
and tried to make it look like
the curse of the sacrificed woman,
[13:46] Toto
all to cover his tracks.
[13:50] husband
That's enough! This is the women's bath!
[13:53] husband
A man couldn't sneak in here
long enough to set all that up!
[13:56] Toto
If you knew no one would be coming,
that wouldn't be a problem.
[14:00] Toto
At dinner, you overheard
that we'd be playing ping-pong,
[14:04] Toto
so you knew no one would be
in the men's bath for a while.
SIGN Men
[14:08] Toto
Then, by swapping the curtains
marking the men's and women's baths,
SIGN Women
[14:13] Toto
you sent the ladies to the men's bath,
[14:15] Toto
ensuring you'd have
the women's bath to yourself.
[14:17] Amamiya
Then the reason I went into the wrong one
[14:20] Amamiya
is because the signs had been swapped?
[14:23] Toto
That's right.
[14:25] Toto
Our ping-pong game ended
much more quickly than he expected.
[14:31] Toto
So we went for a bath before
he could swap the curtains back,
[14:34] Toto
and you walked in on us, Senpai.
[14:37] husband
D-Do you have evidence of—
[14:39] Toto
If we test the curtain rods,
we should still find
[14:42] Toto
your fingerprints, which
have no reason to be there.
[14:46] Toto
You should have only
been using the men's bath.
[14:49] Toto
So why would your prints be
on the women's curtain rod?
[14:52] Toto
Can you explain that?
[14:56] husband
That's...
[15:00] husband
Checkmate.
[15:03] Toto
I got it all out.
[15:07] husband
Michiyo, I failed.
[15:11] Michiyo
You can't be serious! You really killed her?
[15:15] husband
But it was for you, Michiyo!
[15:17] Michiyo
What?! It's got nothing to do with me!
[15:19] husband
Don't say that!
[15:20] husband
You always said that she was in our way!
[15:23] Michiyo
I may have said,
"If only your wife wasn't around!"
[15:25] Michiyo
But no one told you to go this far!
[15:27] Amamiya
You lowlife.
To kill your wife over an affair...
[15:32] husband
Michiyo!
[15:34] Michiyo
Let go of me!
[15:34] husband
Don't abandon me, Michiyo!
[15:35] Toto
What were you thinking?
[15:36] Toto
You took your wife's life!
[16:05] Toto
Where's Ron?
[16:09] Toto
Huh? What's going on?!
[16:14] Toto
Ron? Ron!
[16:17] Spitz
Over here, Isshiki Totomaru.
[16:19] Toto
Huh?
[16:21] Spitz
This conversation will go faster
with you here.
[16:24] Toto
You're from the inn.
[16:26] Spitz
And it looks like he's just woken up.
[16:32] Ron
What did I do?
[16:34] Ron
I remember finding
a black sugar syrup spring...
[16:36] Toto
That was a dream!
[16:40] Spitz
Allow me to introduce myself.
[16:42] Spitz
I am BLUE's tracking instructor, Spitz Fire.
[16:47] Toto
BLUE, as in the detective training school?
[16:49] Spitz
I came to investigate whether
Kamonohashi Ron was acting as a detective.
[16:53] Ron
To think they've got you
for a tracking instructor...
[16:56] Ron
I spotted you all the way back at the
shopping arcade where we did the raffle.
[17:00] Toto
What?
[17:01] Ron
You saw, didn't you? I didn't do a thing.
[17:04] Ron
Detective Isshiki cracked this case.
[17:07] Spitz
Liar!
[17:09] Spitz
A fool like Isshiki,
who didn't even notice me,
[17:12] Spitz
couldn't possibly make
such brilliant deductions!
[17:16] Toto
That was insightful, but it sure hurts.
[17:18] Ron
What proof do you have?
[17:19] Spitz
I don't care about proof!
[17:22] Spitz
I know that those were your
deductions, Kamonohashi Ron!
[17:25] Ron
So you aren't just bad at your specialty,
shadowing and tailing,
[17:29] Ron
but you're also illogical.
I'm surprised you're an instructor at all.
[17:33] Ron
All that and this sham kidnapping...
[17:35] Ron
Are instructors just worse these days?
[17:38] Toto
Don't make him angry!
[17:39] Spitz
He's right. It'd be best not to anger me.
[17:42] Spitz
If you admit that you've been sleuthing,
[17:45] Spitz
I can ask for a lighter sentence.
[17:48] Ron
Do you have the authority do to that?
[17:51] Ron
If you were only here
to see if I'm sleuthing,
[17:54] Ron
you wouldn't need to disguise yourself
as a worker at the inn.
[17:58] Ron
But you went to the trouble of going
undercover and interacting with us.
[18:03] Ron
If you were just here to observe,
that would be truly irrational.
[18:08] Ron
Not only are you
exposing yourself to your target,
[18:11] Ron
there's always the possibility
that they might stymie you by fleeing.
[18:15] Ron
Given your earlier threat and your phrasing,
[18:17] Ron
plus your impatience,
I sense something else at play.
[18:20] Ron
And it's a personal matter.
[18:23] Ron
You either made a bet
with someone about me sleuthing,
[18:26] Ron
or you were threatened.
[18:29] Ron
Or, perhaps...
[18:33] Ron
you are in need of my abilities.
[18:41] Spitz
I am utterly defeated. I'm no match for you.
[18:44] Spitz
I guess I should have expected as much
from BLUE's most brilliant student.
[18:48] Spitz
I figured if I didn't do this,
you'd never accept a job from me.
[18:51] Toto
A job?
[18:53] Ron
I knew it.
[18:54] Spitz
Ron-kun! Please lend me your skills!
[18:57] Toto
What?
[18:58] Spitz
I don't have outstanding deductive reasoning,
[19:01] Spitz
so you might wonder why I honed my tracking
skills to become an instructor at BLUE.
[19:05] Spitz
It was all to find the best detective
to solve the mystery of my missing family.
[19:10] Toto
Your family is missing?
[19:12] Spitz
But even at BLUE,
I couldn't find the right detective.
[19:16] Spitz
When I asked, everyone said the same thing.
"Maybe Kamonohashi Ron could..."
[19:20] Spitz
Then came an order that afforded me
this chance to meet you.
[19:25] Spitz
And now I've confirmed that you're
the detective I've been seeking, Ron-kun!
[19:30] Ron
I refuse.
[19:31] Spitz
Why?!
[19:32] Ron
You're an instructor at BLUE, right?
Who'd believe you?
[19:36] Ron
I don't even know you.
[19:38] Spitz
A-Ah, yes. That's true.
[19:40] Spitz
I suppose I just feel close to you
after investigating you so thoroughly.
[19:45] Spitz
I'm a pretty good guy, though, you know?
[19:47] Toto
Yeah. I'm sure he's a good, honest person.
[19:50] Spitz
Okay!
[19:51] Spitz
I'm going to earn your trust!
[19:53] Spitz
I'll go tell my superiors
that you aren't doing detective work.
[19:57] Ron
You had better. Is that all?
[19:59] Spitz
Huh? Oh, and I'll help you with
your detective work, of course.
[20:02] Ron
I told you it's Detective Isshiki's work.
[20:04] Spitz
R-Right. I'll help Detective Isshiki.
[20:08] Ron
Is that all?
[20:09] Toto
Huh?
[20:10] Spitz
What? Um...
[20:13] Spitz
I wanted to wear it around the house, but...
[20:16] Spitz
Please take this happi coat!
[20:17] Toto
I didn't peg you for liking folksy stuff!
[20:19] Ron
It's too small for me.
[20:20] Toto
Come on now, Ron.
He doesn't seem like a bad guy.
[20:24] Toto
Why don't you just hear him out?
[20:27] Spitz
Tototo! I just knew you were the best!
[20:30] Spitz
You're not smart,
but you've got heart, Tototo!
[20:32] Toto
One too many "to"s.
[20:34] Spitz
That last bit when you exposed
the husband as the killer was good stuff.
[20:41] Spitz
I'll leave for today, but if you ever
need a tracker, just call me!
[20:45] Spitz
I'll show you that I can win your trust!
[20:50] Toto
Okay, his exit was
the biggest surprise of all!
[20:53] Ron
I hope he realizes no one actually agreed.
[20:55] Toto
So you're gonna turn him down?
[20:57] Ron
His skills would be helpful
in solving future mysteries,
[21:01] Ron
and I find his request intriguing.
[21:04] Ron
Still, as I can't completely trust him,
I had planned to refuse him.
[21:08] Toto
Past tense?
[21:10] Ron
If he betrays me, I'm done for.
[21:13] Ron
But since you say he's a good guy,
I'll wait and see.
[21:16] Toto
That's putting way too much on me!
[21:17] Ron
We just have to see
if he's trustworthy or not.
[21:21] Toto
Do you have a plan?
[21:23] Ron
Of course.
[21:24] Ron
I'll use him till he drops.
[21:26] Toto
There's that demonic side!
[21:28] Toto
Although whatever he might say,
[21:30] Toto
I've never seen Ron abandon
someone who's in trouble.
[21:35] Toto
Thanks for helping Amamiya-senpai
in this murder case.
[21:44] Ron
I merely fulfilled my duty.

He's terrifyingly impressive.

Not one drop of water

[01:25] Amamiya
He uses those tweezers
as deftly as threading a needle.
[01:28] Amamiya
And because he orders
his superiors around the same way,
[01:30] Amamiya
he's hard to peg for abuse of power.
An unusual sort of scum.

Senpai, do you know Kawasemi-san personally?
[01:37] Amamiya
When I was a newbie, we were
at the same small, local station.
[01:40] Amamiya
Our paths split after that, though.
[01:47] Kawasemi

[01:50] Kawasemi

[01:52] Kawasemi
something I'll share quite frankly.
[01:54] Toto

What's the situation, Yamane?

The truck belongs to a company
from Aichi Prefecture, sir.
[05:18] Yamane
The driver was told the cargo
was works of art such as statues.

And one of the statues turned out
to be a dead body, is that right?

Let's investigate the body, Yamane.

we're catching the culprit first!

Thing is, Kawasemi-san's not
letting me in on anything.

If you'd just asked, I would have told you.
[08:02] Yamane
This case follows the same MO
as three other murders in Aichi Prefecture.
[08:08] Yamane
The perpetrator kills his victims
with a single stab to the heart.
[08:12] Yamane
And then, for some reason, he severs
their hands and takes them with him.
[08:17] Toto
How creepy.
[08:19] Yamane
Because of his bizarre MO,
we've been calling him...
[08:22] Yamane
the Hand Collector.
[08:23] Kamokyun
The Hand Collector!
[08:24] Eripyon
What a cool name!
[08:26] Toto
I'm shocked how annoying that is.
[08:28] Ron
An unusual killer that even
Eagle Eye Kawasemi can't capture...
[08:32] Ron
The Hand Collector, huh?
[08:34] Ron
How terrifying.
It could turn you pale with fright.
[08:37] Toto
Don't say that while you
look pleased as punch!
[08:39] Yamane
Kawasemi-san is amazing.
[08:41] Yamane
He narrowed the list down
to just a few suspects.
[08:46] Yamane
Then, last night, while informally
questioning one of them,
[08:50] Yamane
we realized he had nothing
to refute our suspicions.
[08:55] Yamane
That man has to be the Hand Collector.
[08:58] Kamokyun
Wow!
[08:59] Yamane
But...
[09:03] Yamane
he put up a huge fight and fled
into an abandoned factory.
[09:09] Yamane
There were only two ways
in and out of the building.
[09:13] Yamane
Kawasemi-san and I split up to try
to catch him in a pincer maneuver.
[09:18] Yamane
I found the culprit first. I was able
to subdue and handcuff him, but...
[09:25] Kawasemi
He managed to shake Yamane off.
[09:29] Kawasemi
I rushed there, and the culprit
came barreling at me.
[09:31] Kawasemi
Though it's unthinkable, I let him escape.
[09:36] Kawasemi
That is why I must be
the one to close this case.
[09:43] Toto

the culprit looks like,
[09:46] Toto
it won't be long before
you apprehend him, right?

About that...
[09:49] Kawasemi
I don't know how,
[09:51] Kawasemi
but the man we believed to be
the Hand Collector last night...

is now the handless corpse
sitting before you.

[11:49] Ron
I'll say just one thing.
[11:51] Ron
It won't be Eagle Eye Kawasemi
who catches the Hand Collector.
[11:56] Ron
It'll be the pure, naïve fool,

[12:00] Kawasemi
You think I'm lying, do you?
[12:02] Kawasemi
On what grounds?
[12:03] Toto
Huh? Well...
[12:05] Ron
Kawasemi-kun, you easily dodged
Detective Isshiki charging at you just now.
[12:10] Ron
With such exceptional reflexes
and physical agility,
[12:14] Ron
there's no way a handcuffed culprit
would ever get past you.
[12:21] Kawasemi
Then you rushed at me on purpose just now?
[12:24] Kawasemi
I've heard one of Amamiya's new subordinates
[12:27] Kawasemi
has been brilliantly cracking cases lately.
[12:31] Kawasemi
I don't suppose...
[12:34] Ron
So you admit you lied, correct?
[12:40] Kawasemi
Yes.
[12:43] Kawasemi
Yamane handcuffed the culprit
and allowed him to get away.
[12:47] Kawasemi
I wasn't present for it.
[12:50] Kawasemi
I was watching the factory's
other exit, you see?
[12:53] Ron
Why the lie?
[12:55] Kawasemi
That day, Yamane was missing
a button on his sleeve.
[12:59] Toto
Huh?
[13:01] Kawasemi
I knew immediately from his expression.
[13:04] Kawasemi
Though Yamane is an outstanding subordinate,
[13:06] Kawasemi
these grotesque serial murders
have unnerved him.
[13:10] Kawasemi
And as I could have predicted,
Yamane made a mistake in the final play.
[13:16] Kawasemi
But I was aware of my
subordinate's mental state
[13:19] Kawasemi
and failed to give him appropriate
guidance. It was on me.
[13:23] Toto
So you covered for him
and said you let the culprit get away.
[13:28] Toto
I thought he was cold,
but he cares about his assistant.
[13:32] Yamane
I'm sorry! This is all my fault!
[13:35] Yamane
I even made Kawasemi-san lie for me!
[13:39] Kamokyun
What's this, Yamane-kyun?
[13:41] Kamokyun
You're missing a button on your sleeve again.
[13:44] Yamane
What?
[13:47] Yamane
It can't be! I-It's gone!
[13:51] Kawasemi
Yamane.
[13:52] Yamane
I'll find it immediately!
[13:53] Yamane
It must've come off
when Isshiki-san ran into me...
[13:56] Yamane
Where is it? Where is it?!
[13:59] Kamokyun
It's over here.
[14:03] Kamokyun
It's perfect for a new eye!

Hey! Don't upcycle it without permission!

after it's gone.
[14:28] Yamane
What?
[14:33] Ron
All right, take it away.
[14:35] Spitz
Okay.
[14:36] ---
Speaker
[14:37] Spitz
How've you been, Tototo?
[14:39] Toto
Wait, "Tototo"? Where've I heard that before?
[14:41] Spitz
Hint: It's your new best friend!
[14:41] ---
Speaker
[14:46] Toto
That laugh! You're the tracking—
[14:49] Toto
Spitz?
[14:50] Spitz
B-B-Bingo!
[14:52] Spitz
I've looked into all kinds of stuff.
[14:54] Spitz
The body in the truck is Mushanokouji Minoru.
[14:57] Spitz
Perpetual part-timer. Forty-eight years old.
[14:59] Spitz
I'm at his place right now...
[15:03] Spitz
and it's absolutely unreal.
SIGN Hands
[15:06] Spitz
If there were a world competition
for hand obsession,
SIGN Hands
[15:08] Spitz
he'd represent Japan and be
guaranteed a top place.
SIGN Hand Heaven
[15:13] Spitz
His precious collection
is nicely refrigerated here, too.
[15:19] Spitz
Three people's worth of hands.
[15:23] Spitz
The man in the truck, Mushanokouji,
is definitely the Hand Collector.
[15:28] Ron
Thanks. That was a great help.
[15:30] Kawasemi
What was all that?
[15:32] Toto
Er, uh...
[15:35] Toto
What's all this sticky stuff?
B-Black sugar syrup?
[15:38] Ron
Sorry. It went off by accident.
[15:40] Ron
Let's go wash it off.
[15:41] Toto
Why would you even need that function?!
[15:43] Toto
Seriously! I'm all sticky now.
[15:44] Ron
Come on, let's go.
[15:47] Ron
Oh, Kawasemi-kun?
[15:51] Ron
When we get back,
Detective Isshiki says he'll solve the case.
[15:54] Kamokyun
So just you wait, okay?
[15:58] Kawasemi
He'll solve it?
[16:22] Kawasemi
I hear you're going to solve the case.
[16:24] Kawasemi
Very well. I'll humor the nonsensical
ramblings of a rookie detective.
[16:28] Toto
Okay.
[16:29] Toto
As the information you just received
from the Aichi police confirms,
[16:33] Toto
Mushanokouji is without a doubt
the Hand Collector serial killer.
[16:39] Kawasemi
Yes, he is.
[16:41] Yamane
Hold on!
[16:42] Yamane
Mushanokouji's hands were taken too, right?
[16:47] Toto
Meaning that was done to make us think
there's another Hand Collector.
[16:51] Toto
It's the work of a copycat.
[16:53] Kawasemi
That's rather obvious.
[16:55] Kawasemi
The real question is,
[16:57] Kawasemi
why would they go to the trouble
to imitate such a brutal murder?
[17:01] Toto
Actually, they didn't murder anyone.
[17:04] Toto
Mushanokouji...
[17:06] Toto
killed himself.
[17:08] Kawasemi
What?
[17:12] Toto
Mushanokouji stabbed himself in the heart,
[17:15] Toto
splattering blood on his jacket sleeves.
[17:18] Toto
In order to make his death look like a murder,
[17:20] Toto
someone removed and hid his jacket.
[17:23] Kawasemi
You mean to say that's why
he's dressed so lightly.
[17:26] Yamane
Still, why would he kill himself?
[17:28] Toto
Once he was cornered by you two,
[17:30] Toto
the serial killer had no choice
but to accept his fate.
[17:35] Kawasemi
If that's true, he took his life
in that abandoned factory.
[17:40] Kawasemi
But we and Mushanokouji
were the only people there.
[17:45] Kawasemi
It can't be. That means the person who
took Mushanokouji's hands was...
[17:49] Toto
That's right.
[17:51] Toto
It was the first person to find
Mushanokouji after he killed himself.
[17:58] Toto
Yamane-san, that would be you!
[18:00] Yamane
Wha?!
[18:01] Yamane
I-It couldn't possibly be me!
[18:05] Toto
You cornered Mushanokouji
in the abandoned factory at night.
[18:09] Toto
I'm sure it was pitch black in there.
[18:11] Toto
It would've been impossible to see anything.
[18:13] Toto
The culprit's tattoo is in
a hard-to-spot place on his wrist
[18:17] Toto
and it's difficult to make out,
[18:19] Toto
so how did you instantly know it was a bird?
[18:25] Kawasemi
Yamane...
[18:26] Yamane
He's wrong! It wasn't me!
[18:28] Toto
Still trying to gloss over everything?
[18:31] Toto
You really can't tell Kawasemi-san, can you?
[18:34] Toto
That you lost your handcuffs.
[18:40] Toto
Earlier, when Yamane-san
lost his button, he panicked
[18:45] Toto
and said, "I found it this time."
[18:48] Toto
In other words, he's already
lost something important to him.
[18:53] Toto
Something which, for example,
might compromise police integrity.
[18:58] Toto
The reason you were so on edge that day
[19:00] Toto
is because you'd lost your cuffs, wasn't it?
[19:05] Toto
That day, when you found the Hand Collector
had killed himself, you had an idea.
[19:11] Toto
To make it seem like he'd fled after you
handcuffed him, you hid his body.
[19:16] Toto
Then you severed his hands.
[19:21] Toto
So when the body was found
handless afterward,
[19:25] Toto
it would look like the Hand Collector
had taken the cuffs along with his hands.
[19:31] Toto
No one would know you'd lost them.
[19:33] Kawasemi
Impossible!
[19:34] Kawasemi
My best subordinate would never—
[19:36] Toto
That's exactly the problem!
[19:38] Toto
It's obvious how much you value Yamane-san.
[19:43] Toto
But the pressure of that...
[19:45] Toto
It meant Yamane-san couldn't allow
himself to be any less than your ideal.
[19:59] Yamane
I'm sorry, Kawasemi-san!
[20:02] Yamane
I've left a black mark on your career!
[20:16] Yamane
The responsibility was
too much for me to bear!
[20:19] Yamane
I couldn't meet your expectations!
[20:45] Kawasemi
Yamane.
[20:48] Kawasemi
It will be difficult to reinstate you
as a police officer.
[20:54] Kawasemi
However...
[20:56] Kawasemi
As long as you have the will,
[20:59] Kawasemi
I'll be waiting for my partner to return.
[21:22] Kawasemi
There's no need for both members
of a team to be police officers, is there?
[21:27] Kawasemi
Like how you two solved this mystery.
[21:32] Kawasemi
Don't underestimate my eyes.
[21:35] Kawasemi
Just as I was able to focus on investigating
because Yamane was with me,
[21:40] Kawasemi
this puppet master needs you to harness
[21:43] Kawasemi
his full ability, doesn't he?
[21:48] Ron
Impressive, Eagle Eye—
[21:49] Toto
No, no! That's not the issue here!
[21:52] Toto
This guy makes all kinds of messes,
[21:54] Toto
so I have to keep an eye on him
or he's worthless!
[21:56] Ron
How am I worthless?
[21:59] Toto; background
Hey, that's right. You didn't try
to pressure the culprit today.
[22:00] Kawasemi
So this is Isshiki Totomaru.
[22:03] Ron; background
He wasn't a murderer.
Yamane-kun didn't kill anyone, right?
[22:04] Kawasemi
You've got a good man there...
[22:06] Kawasemi
Amamiya.
[22:07] Toto
That's how it works?!

SIGN #06 The Case of the Live Broadcast Murder
[02:09] Ono
Let's start the live broadcast of
Psychic Abilities: Fact or Fiction?
[02:13] Ono
I'm Ono Yako, your host.
[02:16] Ono
On our show, a psychic and a
neurosurgeon go head to head
[02:20] Ono
in an attempt to verify psychic powers.
[02:23] Ono
The one demonstrating their power
SIGN Psychic
Torage Dankichi
[02:25] Ono
is a psychic you all know, Torage-san!
[02:29] Ono
And up against him is the genius
neurosurgeon with miraculous hands...
SIGN Neurosurgeon
Usaki Mofu
[02:33] Ono
Oh.
[02:35] Ono
Mofu-sensei, the show has started!
[02:36] Mofu
What? Already?
[02:39] Ono
Please look toward the camera.
[02:42] Toto
Is she severely injured?!
[02:45] Ron
She's got more bandages again.
[02:46] Toto
Huh?
[02:47] Mofu
Oh, I'm so sorry.
[02:49] Ono
Doctor, what happened to your face?
[02:51] Mofu
I was cutting an apple
and the knife sprang back at me.
[02:54] Mofu
Sorry, I'm really bad at wrapping bandages.
[02:58] Ron
Mofu-sensei is odd,
so she's lots of fun to watch.
[03:01] Toto
Is she really a genius surgeon?
[03:04] Ron
Her procedures are accurate to 0.001mm.
She's a globally preeminent super doctor.
[03:10] Mofu
Ouch!
[03:11] Mofu
I was adjusting my mic
and it clipped to my chin!
[03:14] Mofu
Ow!
[03:17] Toto
How clumsy can you be?!
[03:20] Ono
Well, Torage-san, what sort
of power will you show us today?
[03:23] Torage
The time has finally come to demonstrate
what I'm truly capable of.
[03:27] Torage
Today, I will show you I can
control a mind using only writing.
[03:30] audience
What? Huh?
[03:32] Ron
That sounds intriguing!
[03:33] Ron
You can do this, Torage!
[03:35] Toto
Ron, you believe in psychic stuff?
[03:37] Ron
Not at all.
[03:39] Toto
Huh? Then why are you cheering him on?
[03:41] Ron
Because if psychic powers were real,
solving cases would be more fun.
[03:46] Ron
I'd love to crack even more
complicated mysteries.
[03:50] Ron
You seem like the gullible type
who'd just shout, "That's amazing!"
[03:54] Toto
I'm not that easily taken in.
You don't give me enough credit.
[03:57] Torage
If you can resist my psychic influence,
[04:01] Torage
I will reward you with 100,000 yen.
[04:04] Torage
Any volunteers?
[04:05] audience
Over here!
[04:05] audience
Me, me!
[04:07] Torage
I'll take you in the white hoodie.
[04:10] subject
All right! I'm gonna get
that 100,000 yen!
[04:16] Torage
I will say in advance that what's about
to happen is not by power of suggestion.
[04:22] Torage
What I write on this card
will exert direct control of him.
[04:26] Torage
The subject is wearing noise-canceling
headphones prepared by the staff.
[04:31] Torage
With those on, he can't hear a thing.
[04:34] Torage
Nevertheless, the instant he reads this...
[04:42] subject
My body's...
[04:44] subject
Wait, huh? What?!
[04:45] audience
Huh?!
[04:47] audience
No way!
[04:48] Toto
That's amazing!
[04:49] Ono
He's doing exactly
as the card says in English!
[04:52] Ono
Everyone, a round of applause for Torage-san!
[04:57] Torage
This is the next word.
[04:59] Torage
He will heed it and obey
regardless of his own will.
[05:05] subject
Huh?
[05:06] subject
S-Seriously?!
[05:07] Toto
Amazing... Just amazing!
[05:10] Ono
This time, the word "run"
made him start running!
[05:12] Ono
Is his mind really being controlled
by what's written on these cards?!
[05:16] Ron
Will Mofu-sensei pick up on it?
[05:19] Toto
Huh?
[05:22] Mofu
You're mocking neuroscience.
[05:24] Ono
Usaki-sensei will now give her rebuttal!
[05:26] Mofu
Was the subject really chosen at random?
[05:30] Toto
What?
[05:31] Torage
Of course. What gives you any doubt?
[05:35] Mofu
Just like your fingerprints,
you can't change the way you move.
[05:39] [SONG] text
Match
[05:39] Mofu
I ran the subject through a biological
motion app that analyzes movement,
[05:44] Mofu
and I've determined he's the same
subject from your last demonstration.
[05:49] Mofu
He's a plant in league with you, Torage-san!
[05:53] Ron
So she did notice.
[05:54] Toto
It was all staged?
[05:56] Mofu
Here's the proof!
[05:57] Ono
We can't see through the cracks!
[05:59] Mofu
I mean, they always get run over by
dump trucks when you drop them, you know?
[06:03] Ono
I can't say I would...
[06:06] Torage
Kindly refrain from false accusations.
[06:09] Torage
If this next word reaches his brain,
will you believe he wasn't planted?
[06:15] Mofu
What?
[06:18] Ono
The word he's written now
can only mean one thing!
[06:23] Torage
What do you think, Usaki-sensei?
If the subject dies, will you believe me?
[06:28] Mofu
There's no way this will take his life.
[06:30] Mofu
Take that as my answer.
[06:32] Torage
Oh dear. Well then...
[06:54] Torage
He's dead.
[06:57] staff A
Th-This is bad!
[06:58] staff B
Stop the broadcast!
[06:59] staff C
I've called an ambulance!
[07:01] staff D

Yeah.

and secured the scene.
[07:27] Toto
Good work.

Who's that with you?
[07:29] Toto
Huh?
[07:30] Ron
I'm Asasuki Kamoji.
SIGN Torage
[07:32] Ron
I'm a bandwagon Torage fan!
[07:34] Toto
You're the worst person to let in here!
[07:37] Toto
He's a specialist helping out
with the investigation!
[07:40] Ron
Excuse me.
[07:42] Ron
Don't worry. I will avenge you.
[07:46] Torage
Who's he?
[07:47] Ron
Oh, Torage-kun! I saw you on TV!
[07:50] Torage
And you are?
[07:51] Ron
I'm a bandwagon fan!
[07:53] Toto
Nix the "bandwagon" bit! And get up!
[07:56] Torage
What's a fan doing here?
[07:58] Toto
I'm so sorry.
[07:59] Ron
I wanted to ask you something, Torage-kun.
[08:02] Toto
D-Don't say anything rude.
[08:04] Ron
How'd you kill him?
[08:06] Toto
That's majorly rude!
[08:08] Ron
But you gotta ask, right?
[08:09] Toto
No, you don't!
[08:11] Torage
You're amusing.
[08:12] Torage
I killed him with my psychic powers.
[08:17] Torage
But under modern science and the law,
I cannot be held accountable.
[08:22] Toto
You admit that you killed him?
[08:24] Toto
Except I can't arrest a guy
for a psychically-induced death.
[08:28] Ron
I knew it! You really are the best!
[08:32] Ron
Can I have your autograph?
[08:33] Toto
That's my notebook!
[08:35] Torage
On that tiny paper?
[08:37] Ron
Well, this is all so sudden.
[08:39] Ron
Do you have a pen? The one you
used on those cards would be fine.
[08:43] Torage
What?
[08:45] Torage
Once I've signed this, begone.
[08:51] Ron
It's so thick I can't read it.
[08:52] Toto
He's pissed at you!
[08:54] Torage
If that neurosurgeon had
only believed in psychic powers,
[08:58] Torage
this demonstration would have
been unnecessary.
[09:01] Torage
If anyone's to be punished,
[09:02] Torage
it should be her, don't you think?
[09:06] Toto
No way...
SIGN We'll be right back
[09:18] Shikata
I'm Shikata, Usaki-sensei's
assistant at the hospital.
[09:22] Shikata
The doctor's beside herself right now.
[09:25] Toto
I don't think what happened here
was her fault.
[09:28] Mofu
No...
[09:30] Mofu
I'm a practitioner of medicine.
[09:32] Mofu
I have to take responsibility for allowing
someone to die right in front of me!
[09:38] Ron
Mofu-sensei, has this incident
made you believe in psychic powers?
[09:43] Mofu
I don't know.
[09:45] Mofu
I examined the body and
the cause of death was poison.
[09:49] Toto
Poison?
[09:50] Mofu
I observed flaccid paralysis,
and given the presentation of cyanosis,
[09:55] Mofu
I believe it was a neurotoxin.
[09:58] Mofu
Blowfish poison or snake venom, or...
[10:01] Mofu
He went into cardiac arrest
before the ambulance arrived,
[10:04] Mofu
so it may have been
the potent botulinum toxin.
[10:07] Ron
My thoughts precisely.
[10:09] Ron
I'd expect no less of you, Mofu-sensei.
[10:11] Ron
I figured that speck
on the back of the victim's neck
[10:14] Ron
might be a mark left by a poisoned needle.
[10:17] Ron
What do you think?
[10:18] Mofu
I thought exactly the same thing!
[10:20] Ron
Great minds, huh?
[10:21] Mofu
Are you a medical doctor?
[10:23] Ron
I'm a Torage fan.
[10:25] Toto
You don't have to be that stupidly honest!
[10:28] Toto
If there's a mark from a poisoned needle,
[10:30] Toto
does that mean Torage used
a blowgun or something to stab him?
[10:33] Mofu
I'm afraid not.
[10:35] Mofu
He didn't do anything that seemed suspicious.
[10:38] Mofu
And from where he was standing,
he couldn't have hit the subject.
[10:40] Mofu
Moreover, there wasn't
anyone behind the subject!
[10:44] Mofu
No matter how I rack my brain,
I can't explain it!
[10:47] Toto
You're right. It was a superhuman feat.
[10:50] Toto
The only explanation is psychic powers.
[10:52] Ron
Yay! Torage-san for the win! Fans rejoice!
[10:55] Toto
You really are the worst, you know that?
[10:59] Shikata
Mofu-sensei has a personal reason
she can't be bested here.
[11:04] Shikata
It's why she came after
an all-night surgery and
[11:07] Shikata
forced herself to participate
in today's show.
[11:09] Ron
Then let's solve this case quickly
so she can get some sleep.
[11:15] Ron
We'll figure out the trick and
see the fake psychic off the stage.
[11:21] Toto
Ron...
[11:22] Mofu
The trick?
[11:24] Ron
It wasn't psychic power.
[11:27] Shikata
But you said you were a fan of Torage's...
[11:30] Ron
Just a bandwagon fan.
[11:32] Ron
The only thing I'm a true
life-long fan of is the truth.
[11:37] Ron
The pure, naïve Detective Isshiki
will expose the trick here.
[11:44] Ron
Just after the subject saw the cue card,
[11:47] Ron
he closed his eyes and
collapsed to the floor, right?
[11:51] Ron
And after that, he didn't even twitch?
[11:53] Mofu
No.
[11:55] Mofu
When I was giving him CPR,
he came to for just a moment.
[12:00] Mofu
He was in distress,
[12:02] Mofu
then his breathing stopped again.
[12:05] Toto
There's no way Torage stabbed
[12:07] Toto
the subject in the neck
while the doctor was giving him CPR.
[12:11] Toto
Forensics hasn't turned up
any poisoned needles, either.
[12:15] Toto
It looks like this really was
caused psychically.
[12:18] Ron
No. We've got all the pieces, Toto.
[12:21] Toto
What?
[12:22] Ron
The entirety of this trick...
[12:24] Ron
is on TV.
[12:26] Mofu
You've got hyperemia in your eyes.
Have some eye drops.
[12:29] Ron
You're so kind.
[12:31] Mofu
Take good care of yourself.
[12:32] Ron
Thank you.
SIGN Studio 6
[12:37] Toto
Thank you for gathering here.
[12:39] Toto
I will now solve the mystery of how
the subject died during the show.
[12:45] Toto
And since the stage is still set,
let's try reenacting the incident.
[12:50] staff A
You want to reenact it?
[12:52] staff B
Can you really do that?
[12:54] Toto
Usaki-sensei, could I ask you
to play the subject?
[12:57] Mofu
Me?
[12:59] Toto
I'll stand in for Torage-san.
[13:01] Toto
To ensure this is accurate,
I asked the staff for the same cue cards.
[13:06] Toto
Torage-san, could I borrow the pen you used?
[13:09] Torage
There's no need to go that far.
[13:11] Torage
Why should I go along with this farce?
[13:14] Mofu
Someone lost their life here!
[13:16] Mofu
Please just lend us the pen!
[13:24] Mofu
I'm so sorry!
[13:25] Toto
Full-throttle clumsiness on display!
[13:30] Mofu
Torage-san, we'll be borrowing this!
[13:32] Torage
Tch.
[13:36] Toto
Usaki-sensei will put on
the noise-canceling headphones
[13:40] Toto
and act out what's written here.
[13:42] Toto
Basically, she'll do as the plant would.
[13:44] Torage
Hey! Calling him a plant is unfair!
[13:47] Torage
What idiot would die for a staged trick?!
[13:49] Toto
P-Please, calm down!
That's what we're testing right now.
[13:56] Toto
Now then...
[13:58] Toto
Please start with this word.
[14:02] Toto
Very good.
[14:04] Toto
Now, on to the next word.
[14:07] Toto
Wonderful!
[14:08] Toto
She's following along perfectly.
[14:10] Ono
Well, of course she is.
You're telling her what to do.
[14:13] staff C
This is stupid. Is that detective okay?
[14:18] Toto
Now, at last, the word in question.
[14:21] Toto
I'll have Usaki-sensei stand
right where the subject was.
[14:26] Toto
I'll show her this the same way, too.
[14:35] Shikata
Mofu-sensei!
[14:37] Toto
Please, stay calm!
[14:39] Toto
Usaki-sensei is not dead.
[14:42] Shikata
Then what did you do?
[14:44] staff C
Is there some trick to the cue card?
[14:46] Toto
No, it's just regular, extra-thick paper.
[14:48] Toto
But at the time of the incident,
Torage-san set the card on the podium.
[14:52] Toto
He then turned it upside down
and showed it to the subject.
[14:56] Shikata
He turned it upside down?
[15:05] Toto
Like this.
[15:08] Ono
"Sleep"?!
[15:10] staff C
It says sleep!
[15:11] Shikata
Turned upside down, "death" becomes "sleep"?!
[15:14] Mofu
Which means that when he collapsed,
the subject was still conscious?
[15:18] Toto
That's right.
[15:20] Toto
The subject was pretending to be asleep.
[15:23] Toto
The headphones prevented him
from hearing the commotion,
[15:26] Toto
so he kept up the act even as
Torage-san took his pulse.
[15:30] Toto
So, when was the subject killed?
[15:34] Toto
After the broadcast was suspended,
[15:36] Toto
while standing among the crowd
[15:38] Toto
and amid all the chaos,
Torage-san injected him with poison!
[15:44] Mofu
That means he showed signs
of distress during CPR
[15:47] Mofu
because the injected poison
took time to circulate.
[15:51] Toto
No psychic abilities were used.
[15:53] Toto
Isn't that right, Torage-san?
[15:59] Torage
These accusations are completely unfounded!
[16:01] Torage
First and foremost, you haven't
found a poisoned needle!
[16:04] Toto
No, we retrieved it.
[16:06] Torage
Wha—?!
[16:11] Toto
When you were asked to sign my notebook,
[16:14] Toto
why did you choose such a thick, unwieldy pen?
[16:17] Toto
Because the poisoned needle was
hidden inside the tip of your thinner pen!
[16:22] Shikata
That's where he concealed it?
[16:25] Torage
You're wrong! This death
was the result of psychic powers!
[16:28] Torage
If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you!
[16:34] Torage
Torage Psychic!
[16:43] Torage
I'm lying. I give up.
[16:51] Torage
He was just a plant,
but he started threatening me!
[16:55] Torage
He said he'd out my tricks
[16:57] Torage
if I didn't fork over
90 percent of my earnings.
[17:00] Torage
Killing him was my only choice!
[17:03] Ron
Stab yourself.
[17:06] Ron
Anyone who dismisses the lives of others...
[17:09] Ron
has no right to live in this world.
[17:12] Toto
This is bad!
[17:13] Ron
Stab yourself.
[17:18] Torage
Stab... myself...
[17:27] Toto
Stop!
[17:45] Mofu
The poisoned needle!
[17:50] Ron
Toto!
[17:52] Mofu
Let me take a look!
[17:54] Toto
It's too late!
[17:56] Toto
The mark of the poisoned needle...
[17:58] Torage
Mark of the poisoned needle?
[17:59] Torage
I swapped the pen tip with the needle.
[18:02] Torage
There's no way it'd leave an ink mark.
[18:04] Toto
What?
[18:05] Toto
Then this pen is...
[18:15] Toto
Here it is!
This one's the poisoned needle pen!
[18:27] Toto
Honestly, Ron. I seriously
thought I was a dead man.
[18:34] Ron
I'm sorry. I regret what I've done.
[18:36] Toto
You say that now, but later, I know you'll
ask me for the next case like always.
[18:42] Ron
It was a mistake for me
to start sleuthing again.
[18:45] Toto
Huh? He's not talking back.
[18:48] Ron
If that had gone any further,
there'd be no undoing what I wrought.
[18:52] Ron
I have no right to be a detective.
[19:00] Toto
He's really down on himself.
[19:02] Toto
Like back when I first met him.
[19:04] Toto
Not that I don't understand why.
[19:07] Toto
Maybe it's time to give up
this dangerous approach.
[19:11] Mofu
Oh, Isshiki-san!
[19:15] Mofu
My bandages are caught on the handrail!
[19:18] Toto
That takes skill!
[19:20] Mofu
Thank you so much for what you did today.
[19:23] Toto
Don't mention it.
[19:25] Mofu
So many patients
are going to live because of you.
[19:30] Mofu
A long time ago, I had a patient
who believed in psychic treatments,
[19:33] Mofu
refused surgery,
and passed away because of it.
[19:36] Toto
That's why you were trying so hard...
[19:39] Mofu
Your brilliant deductions
will save lots of lives!
[19:45] Toto
Yeah, you're right...
[19:48] Toto
I feel reenergized! Thank you, Mofu-sensei!
[19:51] Mofu
Not at all.
[19:53] Toto
I'll be on my way.
[19:57] Toto
Oh, and I'm sorry for giving you
a scare at the end there.
[20:01] Toto
He's got a weird habit of
pressuring murderers into things.
[20:06] Mofu
Pressuring them...?
[20:08] Toto
Well, I'll see you later!
[20:12] Mofu
That was more than just pressuring...
[20:21] Toto
Ron!
[20:25] Toto
You can't quit over something like that!
[20:28] Ron
"Something like that"?
[20:30] Ron
I nearly killed you.
[20:34] Toto
It was just an accident.
[20:36] Ron
If anything like it happened again
and you died...
[20:41] Ron
I'd despair of myself and wouldn't
be able to carry on.
[20:44] Toto
I swear, don't write me off
as a goner so readily.
[20:48] Toto
Next time, I'll stop you.
[20:50] Toto
So I want you to have some faith
in Kamonohashi Ron, too!
[20:55] Toto
You love sleuthing above all else.
[20:57] Toto
You've devoted your life
to being a detective.
[20:59] Toto
Why did you shut yourself away
for five years?
[21:02] Toto
It's because you care about people's lives!
[21:05] Ron
Toto...
[21:06] Toto
People's lives are at the core
of your guiding principles and all you do.
[21:10] Toto
That's just the kind of guy you are.
[21:13] Ron
But...
[21:15] Toto
Oh, right.
SIGN Shooting Star Viewing
[21:20] Ron
An invitation?
[21:29] Ron
A gathering at an observatory on a remote
island to watch the Leonid meteor shower?
[21:34] Ron
What is this?
[21:35] Toto
It arrived this morning.
[21:36] Toto
I don't know the sender very well,
[21:39] Toto
but times like this call for a change of pace.
[21:42] Toto
Until you can believe in yourself,
I'll stick with you! Okay?
[21:48] Ron
You're right.
[21:50] Ron
It might be good to get away from mysteries.
SIGN Shooting Star Viewing
[21:58] Ron
And this remote island...
[22:00] Ron
Nandan Island is famous
for its black sugar syrup!
[22:03] Toto
That's what really matters to you?!
[22:06] Ron
Today, at least, it would be nice
to have some sweet dreams.

[00:00] Toto
I'm so sorry we were late.
[00:02] Jumonji
Not at all. You must be busy.
[00:05] Jumonji
You're one of Japan's
best detectives, after all.
[00:07] Toto
Who told you that?!
[00:09] Jumonji
I have a friend in the prefectural police.
[00:12] Jumonji
They asked Kawasemi-san
about brilliant detectives,
[00:15] Jumonji
and he gave your name, Isshiki-san.
[00:18] Toto
K-Kawasemi-san did?
[00:19] Ron
But why invite a brilliant detective
to a meteor shower viewing party?
[00:25] Jumonji
To be prepared for anything!
[00:27] Jumonji
A few of our guests will inevitably
be thinking about the incident.
[00:32] Toto
"The incident"?
[00:33] Ron
Wh-What kind of incident?
[00:34] Ron
Don't ask that!
[00:36] Ron
I'm here to get away from cases.
[00:39] Ron
But just asking isn't...
[00:40] Ron
No, I can't!
[00:42] Ron
What if I just happen to hear about one?
[00:44] Ron; background
Then there'd be no point to any of this!
[00:44] Toto
Please don't mind him. He's a little tired.
[00:48] Jumonji
I asked you to come just as insurance.
[00:51] Jumonji
Nothing's going to happen.
[00:53] Jumonji
Please enjoy the viewing party.
[00:57] Jumonji
Look, you can see it now. That's the island.
[01:03] Jumonji
Farmers come over from the main island
when it's harvest time for the sugarcane,
[01:08] Jumonji
but right now, it's just the observatory
staff and our guests staying here.
[01:13] Ron
And your famous black sugar syrup
is made from this sugarcane, right?
[01:17] Jumonji
You know your stuff!
[01:19] Ron
Sign me up for three meals a day
of high-quality black sugar syrup!
[01:23] Toto
Only you would be okay with that!
[01:25] Ron
And I'd like to attempt
hula hooping after eating.
[01:28] Toto
That's what you forgot and went back for?!
[01:32] Ron
"Hula hooping at an observatory" is on
the list I made during my five-year seclusion.
[01:37] Toto
That nonsensical list again...
[01:41] Jumonji
We're serving a standing buffet tonight.
[01:44] Jumonji
I'll ask the chef about
a black sugar syrup meal for you.
[01:47] Jumonji
And hula hoop to your heart's content.
[01:54] Jumonji
Now, here we are.
[01:57] Jumonji
This is the pride and joy of the island,
Nandan Observatory.

SIGN #07 The Case of the Observatory Murder (Part 1)
[03:37] Jumonji
On the first floor, we have
the lobby and cafeteria.
[03:42] Toto
Huh? A pistol?
[03:44] Jumonji
It's a replica.
The gun wards off evil spirits.
[03:48] Toto
Wow.
[03:49] Ron
It's meticulously crafted.
[03:51] Ron
Nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
But what's this about evil spirits?
[03:55] Jumonji
Long ago on this island,
in order to protect the sugarcane,
[04:00] Jumonji
every household kept a flintlock as a charm.
[04:03] Jumonji
That's the tradition.
[04:05] Toto
Huh!
[04:06] Jumonji
The second floor holds guestrooms.
[04:09] Jumonji
And the doors at the end of the hall...
[04:11] Jumonji
are the entrance to the observation dome.
[04:15] Unno
I'll kill 'em!
[04:22] Unno
Oh, Director.
[04:23] Jumonji
What are you doing, Unno-kun?
[04:25] Unno
Relieving stress.
[04:27] Unno
With the dome closed,
this place is soundproof,
[04:29] Unno
so when something ticks me off,
I come here to scream.
[04:32] Jumonji
I-I didn't know that.
[04:35] Unno
Just listen to this!
[04:36] Unno
One of the guests, Donzawa,
asked me to bring coffee.
[04:39] Unno
And when I did, he yelled because
the stars on the cup were wrong!
[04:42] Unno
Also, what's this about
a black sugar syrup meal?
[04:46] Ron
That's for me.
[04:47] Unno
A g-guest?!
[04:49] Unno
Please pardon my rudeness!
[04:50] Ron
Sorry for the impossible ask.
[04:52] Donzawa
What's all the commotion?
[04:55] Toto
That haircut's really something!
[04:57] Donzawa
My hair is cut so as not to get in the way
when I look through a telescope.
[05:02] Toto
There's so much I want to say,
but I beg you, mouth! Be still!
[05:06] Donzawa
Dear, dear. It seems we have impure guests.
[05:08] Toto
Impure?
[05:10] Onodera
Donzawa-san means we have people
who can't appreciate the shower,
[05:14] Onodera
who aren't astronomy fans, among us.
[05:17] Onodera
Hi! I'm Onodera, a photographer
of celestial objects.
[05:20] Onodera
And it isn't just you two.
[05:22] Onodera
This guy doesn't seem like
an astronomy buff either.
[05:28] John
You're...
[05:29] Ron
Sensei...
[05:31] Toto
"Sensei"? You mean...
[05:32] Ron
Yes.
[05:34] Ron
He's the BLUE detective academy's
closed circle theory instructor,
[05:38] Ron
John Grizzly.
[05:41] Toto
He's from BLUE?
[05:42] Ron
He's one of the few instructors
I acknowledged as my superior.
[05:47] John
And why might you be here,
Kamonohashi... kun?
[05:51] Ron
I'm on a gourmet journey.
[05:53] Jumonji
Well, you're all here now!
[05:55] Jumonji
Let me make the introductions.
This is Grizzly-san and Isshiki-san.
[05:59] Jumonji
I've asked these two here
to make sure there's no trouble.
[06:03] Jumonji
One's a first-class sleuth and the other's
a renowned police detective.
[06:06] Ron
A man of his caliber playing security?
[06:09] Onodera
It's the least they can do...
[06:11] Onodera
after the gut-wrenching
incident that happened here.
[06:14] Ron
Please don't talk about
incidents in front of me.
[06:17] Ron
I'm not interested at all!
[06:19] Toto
Your words and actions don't add up!
[06:21] Ron
If Toto insists so strongly on hearing
about it, I guess I don't mind.
[06:24] Toto
You hallucinated me insisting that,
but let's hear it.
[06:30] John
Back then, just like right now,
[06:33] John
the conditions for watching the
Leonid meteor shower were perfect.
[06:37] John
It happened ten years ago.
[06:39] John
Here at Nandan Observatory,
SIGN At the Observatory: 7 People Die Tragically by Gunfire
[06:42] John
the director at the time
and six others were gunned down.
[06:50] Jumonji
The director then was my father.
[06:54] Toto
What?
[06:55] John
Even after a large-scale investigation,
the gun used was never found.
[06:59] John
The killer remains unidentified.
The case has gone cold.
[07:03] Jumonji
We considered shutting down the observatory,
[07:05] Jumonji
but my father loved this place
and astronomy with all his heart.
[07:10] Jumonji
Which is why I'm holding a viewing party
for the same meteor shower.
[07:14] Jumonji
I think overcoming that tragedy
is what my father would want!
[07:19] Danzawa
I wholeheartedly agree, Director!
[07:21] Onodera
We're cheering you on!
[07:22] Toto
That's right, Jumonji-san!
[07:24] Toto
Let's make this viewing a success!
[07:26] Orihime
Sniffle! That story's enough
to make a person cry, star.
[07:29] Toto
Huh? Is that...
[07:32] Orihime
I couldn't find the right timing to step in.
[07:35] Orihime
I was invited here as well.
[07:38] Orihime
I'm the idol of the constellation Orion...
[07:41] Orihime
Orihime, star!
[07:42] Toto
This is the first time I've met
an idol in the flesh.
[07:45] Onodera
Despite appearances,
she's a pure astronomy fan.
[07:52] Jumonji
Who's opening that without permission?
[07:53] Ron
Sorry. I couldn't resist pulling the lever.
[07:56] Donzawa
Oh! The observatory dome is splitting!
[08:04] Toto
The telescope spins?!
[08:06] Jumonji
It's computer controlled.
[08:07] Jumonji
It automatically tracks the position
and records footage of any stars entered.
[08:14] Onodera
But we won't be using this telescope
to watch the meteor shower.
[08:18] Ron
Using a telescope with low magnification,
[08:21] Ron
or just your eyes,
really captures the beauty of the shower.
[08:24] Toto
Really?
[08:25] Jumonji
We'll be able to observe it
starting around 11 PM on the roof.
[08:28] Jumonji
Until then, please enjoy the standing buffet.
[08:43] Toto
You're fully seated!
[08:44] Toto
And you put that syrup on everything!
[08:47] Donzawa
Well, what's the harm?
[08:49] Donzawa
He's charmed us all.
He's a pure astronomy maniac.
[08:54] Toto
What?
[08:55] Onodera
There aren't many people who can
talk at length so happily
[08:59] Onodera
about brown dwarfs.
[09:01] Toto
Ron, I didn't know you were into this.
[09:03] Ron
An ancestor of mine five generations ago
[09:05] Ron
was a detective who didn't know
about heliocentrism or solar systems.
[09:08] Ron
I developed an interest in reaction to that.
[09:11] Toto
Really?
[09:13] Toto
Now that I think about it,
I don't know much about Ron.
[09:22] Toto
That man... I wonder if he knows about
Ron from his time at the academy.
[09:27] Toto
And about his illness, too.
[09:29] Toto
He might even have a hint
about how to cure it!
[09:36] Toto
G-Good evening.
[09:39] John
You are a friend of Kamonohashi-kun, I gather?
[09:41] Toto
Yes.
[09:42] John
He isn't participating in any
forbidden sleuthing, is he?
[09:47] Toto
What? No, sir.
[09:49] Toto
After all, he ends up
pressuring the perpetrators.
[09:52] John
I see. So you know that much about him.
[09:55] Toto
B-But I don't know any of the details!
[09:59] Toto
If you wouldn't mind,
I was hoping you'd tell me.
[10:02] Toto
What happened in his past?
[10:04] Toto
Did Ron really pressure culprits
to their own deaths?
[10:11] John
Five years ago, Ron took part
in a hands-on training exercise.
[10:16] John
Students and police worked together
[10:19] John
to the end of catching real culprits.
[10:22] John
With his genius deductions,
[10:24] John
he succeeded in locating
the base of a group of seven killers.
[10:28] John
But when police entered the stronghold...
[10:37] John
Murder weapon in hand,
[10:39] John
Kamonohashi Ron was standing there,
dazed and covered in blood,
[10:43] John
among the corpses of all seven murderers.
[10:47] John
It became known as the
Bloody Training Incident.
[10:51] John
I believe that's the answer
you were looking for.
[10:54] Toto
Ron did that to the culprits...?
[10:57] John
There is 99 percent certainty.
[11:00] John
However, Kamonohashi Ron had no memory
[11:02] John
of the thirty minutes before or after,
[11:05] John
so he was considered to be
of unsound mind at the time.
[11:07] John
As such, barring him from
a detective's license
[11:10] John
was the extent of his punishment.
[11:15] John
He's lucky.
[11:17] John
Had I been in charge of deciding his fate,
[11:20] John
I would have given him the death penalty.
[11:27] Orihime
You're Kamonohashi-san's
friend, aren't you?
[11:30] Orihime
Please stop him!
[11:32] Toto
What?
[11:36] Toto
It's dangerous to do that
after you've just eaten that much!
[11:39] Ron
I was depicting the orbit
of planets in a solar system...
[11:41] Donzawa
It was magnificent!
[11:43] Onodera
Yes, it was!
[11:45] Ron
I am utterly content, Toto.
[11:48] Ron
Since I've achieved my goal and I'm sleepy,
I'm going to my room.
[11:52] Toto
And the meteor shower?
[11:54] Ron
I'll see it in my dreams.
[11:56] Donzawa
That's so deep.
[11:57] Onodera
How refined.
[11:58] Toto
You've made some die-hard fans!
[12:02] Toto
That Ron! He has no idea
how I feel right now...
[12:15] Toto
So this...
[12:17] Toto
is the Leonid meteor shower!
[12:21] Toto
I have absolutely no interest in the stars,
but I'm so glad I came.
[12:33] Toto
Come to think of it,
where did Onodera-san go?
[12:36] Danzawa
She hurried back to her room.
[12:38] Danzawa
Said something about getting
photography equipment.
[12:41] Toto
But it's been about two hours, hasn't it?
[12:48] Toto
The dome!
[12:53] Toto
Was that a gunshot?!
[12:55] John
It was inside!
[12:55] Donzawa
It can't be...
[12:56] Toto
I'll go and see!
[12:57] John
Yes!
[13:03] Toto
It's no use.
[13:04] Jumonji
I'll go get the key!
[13:08] Orihime
What's happened, star?
[13:12] John
Is anyone in there?!
[13:19] Jumonji
I can't find the key!
[13:20] Jumonji
It should be in the office, but...
[13:22] Donzawa
What?!
[13:23] Toto
But that's...
[13:23] John
All we can do is break down the door.
[13:29] John
It's certainly sturdy.
[13:30] Toto
I'll help too!
[13:32] Jumonji
So will I!
[13:39] Toto
It's pitch black.
[13:44] John
The lights won't turn on.
[13:45] Unno
Director! I got flashlights!
[13:48] Jumonji
That's a huge help, Unno-kun!
[13:54] Toto
I-It can't be.
[13:55] Toto
That's Onodera-san and...
[14:00] Toto
Ron?!
[14:03] Jumonji
Th-This can't be happening.
[14:08] Toto
Ron!
[14:22] Unno
Sh-She's dead!
[14:24] John
I've been such a fool.
I should have predicted this.
[14:29] Toto
Y-You don't suspect Ron, do you?
[14:32] Donzawa
Just look! It's obvious, isn't it?!
[14:35] Unno
I thought he was suspicious from the start!
[14:38] Unno
What weirdo wants a black sugar syrup meal?!
[14:41] Ron
The syrup did nothing wrong.
[14:43] Toto
Ron, you're awake?
[14:45] Ron
I woke to Orihime-kun screaming.
[14:48] Ron
I don't remember anything after going
back to my room and lying down on my bed.
[14:52] Ron
But I can deduce from your conversation
that I'm in a very bad situation right now.
[14:58] Donzawa
This was a murder!
[15:00] Unno
Hurry up and restrain him!
[15:01] John
Please, no one move!
All of you are suspects too.
[15:04] Unno
What?
[15:06] Jumonji
W-We are?
[15:08] Jumonji
I make it a point to look at every incident
fairly and without prejudice.
[15:14] Jumonji
I must treat everyone here
on the island as a suspect.
[15:19] Ron
You are truly an instructor
who embodies BLUE's lofty ideals.
[15:23] Ron
Therein lies the reason I doff my cap to you.
[15:27] Ron
Please, investigate this thoroughly,
first-rate sleuth...
[15:30] Ron
and renowned police detective.
[15:32] Toto
Right. I have to do this too.
[15:35] John
I haven't eliminated you as a suspect.
[15:38] John
Stay quiet and watch, Kamonohashi Ron.
[15:43] John
The body is still warm, meaning she's
only very recently deceased.
[15:47] John
The bullet struck her heart
directly through her back.
[15:51] John
Strictly speaking, we need to
wait for an autopsy first,
[15:54] John
but this is most likely the cause of death.
[15:56] John
So the murder weapon was a gun.
[15:58] John
I'll hold on to this.
[16:00] Donzawa
That gun was on display in the lobby!
[16:03] Jumonji
I never imagined that it was real...
[16:10] John
All of the lights in here are broken.
[16:16] John
With no ladder, escape through
the dome would be impossible.
[16:22] John
No one's escaping through here either.
[16:25] Toto
Yeah, it's way too small.
[16:32] John
There don't seem to be exits anywhere else.
[16:35] Toto
I-I agree.
[16:37] John
Therefore, we can only say that
these mounting facts lead us
[16:41] John
to but a single truth.
[16:44] John
It's impossible to think the culprit was
anyone except you, Kamonohashi Ron.
[16:48] Unno
See?! I knew it!
[16:49] Ron
Oh? That's not the result I was hoping for.
[16:52] Toto
B-But...
[16:54] John
There's undeniable circumstantial
evidence against you.
[16:57] John
The same as five years ago.
[17:02] John
There is no way in or out other than
the door we came through.
[17:05] John
But that door was locked.
[17:08] John
So inside this observation dome...
[17:11] John
was a perfect locked room.
[17:14] Ron
What?
[17:15] Ron
A locked room?
[17:17] Ron
Just because the door
was locked, I'm the culprit?
[17:20] Ron
I killed some—
[17:23] Ron
Clink?
[17:27] Ron
What is this?
[17:30] Jumonji
That's the key from the lobby!
It's the only master key!
[17:34] Ron
Wh-What's this troublesome thing
doing in my pocket?
[17:38] Donzawa
That's definitive proof!
[17:40] Unno
Murderer!
[17:41] Toto
What? Why would Ron kill someone?
[17:43] John
Arrest him, Isshiki-kun.
[17:48] Toto
Please wait!
[17:49] Ron
It's all right, Toto. If you're the one
arresting me, then I'm satisfied.
[17:53] Toto
Wh-What? Ron!
Don't you have anything to say?
[17:56] Ron
No. I've got nothing.
[18:00] Toto
No way...
[18:01] John
Go and bring him his shoes, Isshiki-kun.
[18:07] John
It's dangerous to walk over
these shards barefoot.
[18:16] Toto
Yes, sir.
[18:18] Donzawa
This observatory is cursed!
[18:21] Orihime
Please don't say such scary things!
[18:23] Jumonji
She's right!
We've caught the culprit, after all.
[18:25] John
Jumonji-san, please contact
the police on the main island.
[18:30] John
We still require a formal investigation.
[18:32] Jumonji
I will. Having you here
really saved us, Grizzly-san.
[18:38] Toto
You really don't remember anything?
[18:41] Ron
No. My memory stops
at collapsing onto my bed.
[18:45] Ron
When I opened my eyes,
I was in the observatory dome.
[18:48] Ron
Along with the body of Onodera-kun,
whom I seem to have killed.
[18:52] Toto
Is that...
[18:54] Toto
how you felt after the
Bloody Training Incident?
[18:58] Ron
Did Grizzly-sensei tell you about that?
[19:01] Toto
During dinner.
[19:03] Ron
It's exactly the same, right down
to the crime I committed.
[19:07] Toto
You seriously think you're the killer?
[19:09] Ron
I must be. I can't remember anything,
so it must be true.
[19:14] Toto
Hold it, Ron!
[19:15] Toto
What's going on? This isn't like you!
[19:17] Toto
Did your brain get rusty or something?
[19:20] Ron
You're talking like you have
proof to the contrary.
[19:22] Toto
I do!
[19:23] Toto
Just think about it!
[19:24] Toto
The victim was just a regular person.
[19:27] Toto
The only people you've tried to pressure
to death have always been murderers, right?
[19:33] Toto
You've never once tried
to kill an innocent person.
[19:37] Toto
You said you weren't that kind of man.
[19:40] Toto
You lose heart instantly
when it comes to this,
[19:42] Toto
so I'll say it again!
[19:45] Toto
Even if you aren't sure, I am!
[19:50] Ron
Your declaration seems to have warmed up
my frozen brain just a little.
[19:56] Ron
That's right... I just remembered something.
[19:58] Ron
There is one point I found strange.
[20:01] Toto
What?
[20:02] Ron
In truth, I've kept a secret from you.
[20:06] Toto
A-A secret?
[20:08] Ron
You see, Toto, I...
[20:13] Ron
I am completely useless with a gun.
[20:16] Toto
Wha?!
[20:18] Ron
I always earned perfect scores
in every other subject.
[20:21] Ron
But not marksmanship.
[20:23] Ron
I failed for never being able
to so much as graze a target.
[20:26] Toto
For real?
[20:28] Toto
But Onodera-san was shot
precisely in the heart from behind.
[20:32] Ron
Even if I had a thousand bullets,
with my skills, I wouldn't land a single shot.
[20:37] Toto
Then there's no way you killed her.
[20:39] Toto
Wait, why didn't you say so earlier?
That's super important!
[20:43] Ron
Because in the five years since
the Bloody Training Incident,
[20:45] Ron
I've kept telling myself...
[20:48] Ron
if I ever slipped up and couldn't remember it,
[20:51] Ron
then as hard as it might be to accept,
I'd give up without a fight.
[20:54] Toto
What?
[20:55] Ron
I had to tell myself that to stay sane.
[20:59] Ron
I resented the victims, BLUE, the world...
[21:02] Ron
I was nearly a criminal.
[21:06] Toto
You mean...
[21:07] Toto
In his heart, Ron doesn't really think
[21:09] Toto
he was the culprit in the
Bloody Training Incident.
[21:13] Ron
Thank you.
[21:15] Ron
Toto, thanks to you, the ice
freezing up my thoughts has melted.
[21:17] Ron
My brain's now working at about one percent.
[21:20] Toto
A single percent, huh?
[21:23] Ron
Hey, if I'm not the culprit, does that
mean you think someone else did it?
[21:28] Toto
Well, of course.
[21:30] Toto
Hang on. That means...
[21:32] Toto
If the culprit's still out there...
[21:35] Toto
That means one of them killed Onodera-san
and framed Ron as the murderer.
[21:41] Toto
I've gotta go!
[21:43] Ron
Where?
[21:43] Toto
To investigate, of course!
[21:54] Ron
I cried and screamed when I was arrested
five years ago, didn't I?
[21:59] Ron
I've finally figured out why
I'm not as panicked this time.
[22:05] Ron
Five years ago, I didn't have Toto.

[00:07] Jumonji
What did you say?
[00:08] Jumonji
The police won't arrive
until tomorrow morning or later?
[00:15] Toto
There really is only one way in or out.
[00:18] Toto
I thought maybe there'd be something
like a hidden door behind the lights,
[00:22] Toto
but I guess that was too much to hope for.
[00:26] Toto
A bullet hole!
[00:28] Toto
There's one in this light, too!
[00:31] Toto
The room lights have all
been shot out with a gun.
[00:34] Toto
All of them have been hit dead center.
[00:37] Toto
This isn't something that Ron could've done!
[00:39] Toto
The culprit was in the dome here,
shooting bullet after bullet...
[00:44] Toto
Huh? But we only heard the one gunshot.
[00:49] Toto
Whatever the case, I have to make sure
the local police investigate thoroughly.
[01:02] Toto
Now, then...
[01:04] Toto
Excuse me.
[01:08] Toto
It's no good! I can't do it like Ron does!
[01:12] Toto
If only there were security cameras in here.
[01:16] (Flashback) Jumonji
It automatically tracks
the position and records...
[01:19] Toto
That's it.
[01:21] Toto
There's one thing that was
recording during the crime.
[01:24] Toto
And I've found it!
[01:25] Toto
Maybe it's recorded an important clue!
[01:30] Toto
I just know I'll be able to
prove Ron's innocence!
[01:42] Toto
This is...
SIGN Ron Kamonohashi's

SIGN #08 The Case of the Observatory Murder (Part 2)
[03:26] John
Isshiki-kun? I mistook you for an intruder.
[03:29] Toto
Grizzly-san?
[03:30] Toto
Why do you have a ladder?
[03:32] John
I came to inspect the inside of this dome,
but it looks like you beat me to it.
[03:36] Toto
Is there something more you need to look into?
[03:38] John
I'm gathering evidence to incontrovertibly
prove Kamonohashi Ron's guilt.
[03:43] John
This time, he must be sentenced to death.
[03:47] Toto; internal
We've got one heck of an enemy here.
[03:50] John
I'm sure you've come for the opposite reason.
[03:54] Toto
What?
[03:56] John
I've already interviewed everyone.
Would you like the results?
[03:58] Toto
Huh? Yes.
[04:00] Toto; internal
And he's ahead of me!
[04:03] John
According to several people's testimonies,
the last time Onodera-san was seen was 11 PM.
[04:08] (Flashback) Onodera
I'm going back to my room to pick up
some photography equipment.
[04:12] John
That is what she is reported to have said.
[04:14] John
Thinking back on it now, the weather
was set to deteriorate during the night,
[04:18] John
so it seems odd that she wouldn't
have set up her equipment earlier.
[04:22] Toto
That's true.
[04:23] John
Given the state of the body,
[04:25] John
it's clear that the shot heard at 1 AM
is the one which killed her.
[04:29] John
I've asked everyone for
their alibis up to that time.
[04:33] John
Jumonji-shi headed briefly
to his office at 11:30 PM,
[04:37] John
but he had returned to the roof by midnight.
[04:40] (Flashback) Jumonji
I'd forgotten my stargazing notebook.
[04:43] John
Donzawa-shi was on the roof the whole time,
besides one trip to the restroom at midnight.
[04:48] John
When the gunshot was heard at 1 AM,
[04:50] John
both he and Jumonji-shi were
on the roof. I saw them, too.
[04:55] (Flashback) Donzawa
Going to the restroom is a
biological imperative, is it not?
[04:58] John
Unno-san was in the kitchen
from 11 PM to 1 AM.
[05:03] John
When the gunshot was heard,
she was talking with Orihime-san,
[05:07] John
who had gone to fetch drinks.
[05:09] (Flashback) Unno
I was simmering stew the whole time.
[05:13] John
Orihime-san started livestreaming
from within the observatory at midnight.
[05:18] John
When the stream ended at around 12:40 AM,
she went to the kitchen.
[05:21] John
At 1 AM, she and Unno-san were together when
they noticed the commotion over the gunshot.
[05:26] (Flashback) Orihime
We heard everyone screaming, so we
thought something must have happened.
[05:30] John
You were on the roof with me
the whole time, weren't you?
[05:33] Toto
Yes.
[05:34] John
However, Kamonohashi Ron returned
to his room to sleep at 10:30 PM,
[05:39] John
and was not seen after that.
[05:43] John
Which means, at the moment
the gunshot was heard,
[05:46] John
everyone but Kamonohashi Ron has an alibi.
[05:56] Toto
Even so, I believe in Ron.
[05:59] Toto
The real culprit must be someone else!
[06:03] John
Why have you never once suspected
that Kamonohashi Ron could be the culprit?
[06:08] Toto
Because he isn't the kind of guy
who would do this!
[06:11] John
That isn't logical.
[06:13] Toto
I'm not the logical one. That's Ron's field!
[06:18] John
The way you speak of Kamonohashi Ron
from such a close perspective...
[06:23] John
I've never seen it before.
[06:25] John
Who exactly are you to him?
[06:28] Toto
He's...
[06:31] Toto
Ron is... my friend.
[06:36] John
It seems he's changed a lot.
[06:38] John
Not just on the outside,
but on the inside, too.
[06:41] Toto
What?
[06:42] John
In the past, Kamonohashi Ron
showed no weakness,
[06:45] John
and no one could get close to him.
[06:47] John
A friend who would trust him against all logic
[06:50] John
is one thing I thought he'd never have.
[06:53] Toto
I see.
[06:54] Toto; internal
That's what Ron was like?
[06:57] John
That aside, have you discovered anything?
[07:01] Toto
Huh? Oh. Yes!
[07:03] Toto
All the lights in this room
have been shot out and destroyed.
[07:06] Toto
I found bullet holes in the walls
where they were installed.
[07:10] Toto
And I was looking to see if the telescope
had recorded anything of the incident.
[07:15] John
The telescope wouldn't record
what was going on inside the dome.
[07:18] John
Was there anything in the footage?
[07:20] Toto
Well, it turned on at 11 PM,
but it was completely black until 1 AM.
[07:26] Toto
And from 1 AM, the only thing
recorded is the North Star.
[07:29] Toto
That corresponds with the time of the dome
opening and the gunshot being heard.
[07:34] Toto
It doesn't look like it's recorded
anything relevant to the crime.
[07:38] John
The room lights were destroyed using a gun,
[07:40] John
and from 11 PM to 1 AM,
the dome was completely dark...
[07:46] John
Of course! So that was it!
[07:48] John
How could I have been so careless?
[07:51] Toto
Grizzly-san?
[07:54] John
Give this to Kamonohashi-kun!
[07:56] John
And tell him everything you told me just now!
[07:59] Toto
This is... the key to Ron's handcuffs?
[08:02] Toto
That means...
[08:03] John
Kamonohashi-kun isn't the culprit!
[08:06] Toto
R-Really?
[08:08] John
There's no time to celebrate.
[08:09] John
We must catch the true culprit
as quickly as possible!
[08:12] Toto
Huh? Right! Yes, sir!
[08:13] John
Keep your guard up. No help is coming.
[08:16] John
The police are currently
delayed by the typhoon.
[08:18] John
Which means this island has become
a closed circle situation.
[08:22] Toto
What?
[08:23] John
If this is connected to the
incident from ten years ago,
[08:27] John
then we can't eliminate the possibility
that further killings will happen.
[08:33] Ron
You've done very well, Toto.
[08:34] Ron
Thanks to you, my innocence has been proven.
[08:38] Toto
But how? Explain it to me.
[08:41] Ron
Oh, sure.
[08:43] Ron
But do you mind if I mix in some singing?
[08:45] Ron
Kamo, kamo, kamo...
[08:45] Toto
I'd prefer it unmixed!
[08:47] Ron
Very well.
[08:48] Toto
Lift the corners of your mouth!
[08:52] Ron
First, the telescope recording showed that
the dome was dark from 11 PM to 1 AM, right?
[09:01] Ron
Accurately shooting multiple lights
in a darkened dome is impossible.
SIGN Pitch black
SIGN Shooting impossible
[09:08] Ron
Which means that the lights must have been
shot either before 11 PM, or after 1 AM.
[09:14] Ron
There are seven lights, but at 1 AM
only one shot was heard,
[09:18] Ron
so it must have happened before 11 PM.
[09:21] Ron
Which means that there were already shards
from the lights on the dome floor at 11 PM.
[09:28] Ron
Now, I was found bare-footed.
[09:31] Ron
If I had walked in there like that,
in the darkness, unable to see anything,
[09:34] Ron
the soles of my feet would be...
[09:37] Toto
Covered in blood and cuts from those shards!
[09:40] Ron
But they were completely unscathed.
[09:42] Ron
Which means that after 11 PM,
when the lights went out,
[09:44] Ron
I couldn't have taken even a
single step from where I was.
[09:47] Ron
Now, it's easy to assume that Onodera-kun
was killed by the shot heard at 1 AM,
[09:54] Ron
but between myself and her
stood a huge telescope
[09:58] Ron
large enough to hide us from each other.
[10:00] Ron
How could I have shot her from
the far side of that telescope
[10:04] Ron
when I couldn't move one step
at the time of the crime?
[10:07] Toto
I get it! From that position,
you couldn't have shot her!
[10:11] Ron
Thank you again, Toto.
[10:13] Ron
Thanks to your stunning investigation,
my brain is now working at two percent!
[10:19] Toto
Still only two percent?!
[10:21] Ron
Now, then...
[10:23] Ron
Here comes the fun part!
[10:24] Toto
Um, what part?
[10:26] Ron
The severe sleepiness that came
over me after dinner...
[10:29] Ron
That was due to sleeping medication
in my black sugar syrup meal.
[10:32] Toto
Then the culprit is the chef, Unno-san?
[10:35] Ron
No. There was ample opportunity
for any of them to drug my meal.
[10:39] Toto
Then who did it?
[10:41] Ron
Let's set that aside for the moment.
My fun comes first.
[10:44] Toto
What's this "fun" you keep talking about?
[10:47] Ron
I'm going to go drink some
sleeping-medicine-less syrup!
[10:50] Toto
Are those sparkles where your eyes are?
[10:52] Ron
Black sugar syrup, syrup!
[10:54] Toto
Don't you have more
important things to be doing?
[10:56] Ron
And I'll do them, of course!
[11:03] John; internal
If Kamonohashi Ron isn't the culprit,
then who did it? And how?
[11:11] John
This is fishing line.
[11:23] Ron
I'm so glad I bought ten kilos of syrup
and set it aside just in case!
[11:26] Toto
That's not an amount you buy "just in case"!
[11:29] Ron
Thanks to this, my brain is back
to one hundred percent.
[11:32] Toto
Ninety-eight percent of your brain
is powered by syrup?!
[11:35] Toto
Syrup aside, we need
to be catching the real killer!
[11:38] Ron
That's why we've come back
to my room, isn't it?
[11:41] Toto
What?
[11:42] Ron
While I was drugged, the culprit must
have carried me from this room to the dome.
[11:46] Ron
So I thought there might have been
some evidence of that left here.
[11:50] Toto
I see. And did you find anything?
[11:53] Ron
No. Everything's been completely wiped clean.
[11:56] Ron
But from the manner of their work,
I'm beginning to see.
[12:00] Ron
The culprit prepared
very carefully for this murder.
[12:04] Ron
It wasn't a haphazard crime of opportunity.
[12:07] Toto
Then you mean you were targeted
from the very beginning?
[12:10] Ron
It's certainly possible.
[12:12] Ron
Did Grizzly-sensei say anything else?
[12:15] Toto
Anything else?
[12:17] Toto
Oh, he said he wanted to give you
a proper apology later.
[12:20] Ron
That's the kind of person he is.
[12:23] Ron
You can see why I acknowledge him, can't you?
[12:25] Toto
He's got a scary face,
but he's a good person.
[12:28] Toto
Oh, right. He said he wants to reinvestigate
your Bloody Training Incident, Ron.
[12:34] Toto
Hey!
[12:35] Ron
That's something you should have told me
while my brain was still frozen.
[12:38] Ron
The excitement is too much for me right now!
[12:40] Toto
Okay, I get it! Please stop that!
[12:42] Ron
I wish I could stop!
[12:47] Toto
Huh?
[12:54] Toto
Ron...
[12:55] Ron
Yes. I saw.
[13:01] Ron
Hurry, Toto!
[13:14] John
K-Kamonohashi Ron...
[13:19] John
I-It's a trap...
[13:23] Ron
Grizzly-sensei!
[13:25] Ron
Sensei!
[13:36] Ron
He's dead.
[13:39] Toto
No way...
[13:50] Ron
Grizzly-sensei...
[13:55] Toto; internal
Ron...
[13:57] Ron
An instructor from BLUE has been killed.
[14:00] Ron
Do you understand what this means?
[14:02] Toto
Huh?
[14:03] Ron
BLUE is the world's
foremost detective agency.
[14:07] Ron
For their star
closed circle theory instructor,
[14:09] Ron
Grizzly-sensei, to meet such a fate...
[14:13] Ron
Our adversary must be formidable indeed.
[14:17] Ron
Excuse me.
[14:20] Ron
Sensei, I promise I will avenge you.
[14:24] Toto
Yes. That's right. That's right, Ron.
[14:27] Toto
The two of us will catch the culprit!
[14:31] Ron
I'm going to start my deductions now, Sensei.
[14:35] Ron
He's only just passed away.
[14:36] Ron
His clothes show no sign of a struggle,
so he was shot from a distance,
[14:39] Ron
or perhaps taken unawares,
and fell immediately following that.
[14:50] Ron
Fishing line.
[14:51] Toto
Fishing line?
[14:52] Jumonji
Isshiki-san!
[14:55] Donzawa
We heard a gunshot!
[14:57] Donzawa
Grizzly-san?
[14:59] Donzawa
Don't tell me he's...
[15:00] Toto
Yes. He has passed away.
[15:02] Jumonji
B-But that's...
[15:05] Jumonji
Kamonohashi-san?
[15:06] Donzawa
But you're supposed to be
handcuffed and locked up!
[15:08] Donzawa
I see! He must have...
[15:10] Toto
You have it wrong! And it wasn't Ron
who shot Onodera-san either!
[15:14] Toto
It will take a long time to explain, but...
[15:17] Ron
Stand back, Toto.
[15:18] Ron
I'll explain it in thirty seconds.
[15:20] Toto
That quickly?
[15:24] Toto; internal
He's just talking really fast?!
[15:30] Toto
A gun, assumed to have been the same one used
to shoot Onodera-san, was found on the roof.
[15:35] Toto
The culprit seems to have taken it from
Grizzly-san, who had taken custody of it.
[15:39] Unno
This isn't funny! Another murder?
[15:42] Orihime
Grizzly-san, too?
[15:44] Toto
To get a clear picture of the situation,
I'd like to go over everyone's alibis.
[15:49] Toto
Jumonji-san was resting in his office.
[15:51] Toto
When he heard the gunshot,
he rushed out in a panic.
[15:55] Toto
Donzawa-san was in the first-floor restroom
when he heard the gunshot
[15:59] Toto
and joined up with Jumonji-san in the lobby.
[16:02] Toto
Unno-san was asleep with earplugs in.
[16:05] Toto
Orihime-san was using earphones
to check the sound on her livestream,
[16:09] Toto
so she didn't notice.
[16:11] Toto
Which means that no one has an alibi,
and anyone could have killed Grizzly-san.
[16:17] Unno
So someone here could be a heartless murderer.
[16:21] Orihime
I'm scared!
[16:22] Unno
You're a suspect, too!
[16:24] Donzawa
To be cut off from the police
in such a perilous situation...
[16:29] Donzawa
The way things are going, the tragedy
of ten years ago will repeat itself!
[16:35] Donzawa
This island really is cursed!
[16:38] Donzawa
All of us are going to be found as corpses!
[16:41] Ron
That won't happen.
[16:44] Ron
Despite how he appears,
Detective Isshiki is enraged.
[16:48] Ron
He loves mysteries more than anyone,
and he's good at solving them.
[16:52] Ron
But he fell into this trap, and two people
have been killed right in front of him—
[16:56] Ron
one of them a great sleuth
worthy of his utmost respect.
[17:00] Ron
The culprit is here, blending in
with you in your fright.
[17:03] Ron
Beneath their mask, twisted with false fear,
they must be smiling with triumph.
[17:09] Ron
But they'll regret that.
[17:13] Ron
You have angered someone
whom you never should have.
[17:22] Ron
Let's reinvestigate, starting with
the initial locked-room murder.
[17:25] Toto
Yeah. We came here after hearing a gunshot.
[17:29] Toto
But the doors were locked.
[17:31] Toto
Then Grizzly-san, Jumonji-san,
and I all slammed our bodies into it.
[17:35] Toto
We broke the lock and went inside.
[17:43] Ron
Toto, how do you think the culprit
turned this dome into a locked room?
[17:47] Ron
The only master key was in my pocket,
and I was locked inside.
[17:52] Ron
How could the culprit have locked the door?
[17:57] Toto
Maybe using some kind of tool?
[18:00] Toto
The fishing line!
[18:01] Ron
How would they use it?
[18:03] Toto
By running it down from the gap
at the top of the door,
[18:06] Toto
attaching it to the key,
and turning it from outside!
[18:09] Ron
Wrong!
[18:10] Toto
Wrong?
[18:11] Toto
Really? But I hardly ever
get to make deductions.
[18:15] Ron
You did your best, Toto.
[18:17] Ron
But look closely at the door.
[18:19] Ron
How would the fishing line fit through?
[18:21] Toto
Huh?
[18:25] Toto
There's adhesive on the side of the door!
[18:28] Toto
With that there, not even the thinnest
fishing line could get through.
[18:31] Toto
With the lock and the glue,
it's a doubly locked room!
[18:34] Toto
But why would they glue it
on top of locking it?
[18:38] Ron
This is getting interesting.
[18:40] Ron
Our adversary truly is formidable.
[18:43] Ron
But if they weren't this resilient,
then they wouldn't be worth defeating.
[18:47] Toto; internal
He looks happy. This is the usual Ron.
[18:50] Toto; internal
This is Kamonohashi Ron!
[18:52] Ron
Don't just stand there. What happened
after you broke down the door?
[18:56] Toto
R-Right.
[18:58] Toto
When the three of us entered
the dome, it was pitch black.
[19:02] Toto
Unno-san brought out flashlights
almost immediately,
[19:04] Toto
and when we used them to light the way,
you and Onodera-san were...
[19:09] Ron
Excuse me.
[19:10] Toto
See? You're not listening!
[19:12] Ron
Onodera-kun,
[19:14] Ron
as I thought, in this location,
you were blocked by the telescope.
[19:17] Ron
You couldn't see me, could you?
[19:20] Ron
The only thing in line of sight is the vent,
[19:22] Ron
but no one could have entered
or exited through there.
[19:25] Ron
Toto, please turn out all the lights.
[19:27] Toto
It'll be pitch black.
[19:29] Ron
That's fine.
[19:30] Toto
I'm turning them off!
[19:42] Toto; internal
My eyes are adjusting.
[19:44] Toto; internal
That's...
[19:46] Toto; internal
the switch for the room lights, maybe?
[19:49] Toto; internal
And that's... the switch to
open and close the dome.
[19:54] Toto
So Onodera-san collapsed in front
of the switch to open the dome?
[20:01] Toto
That's right! Right before we heard
the shot, the dome opened.
[20:06] Toto
Did Onodera-san hit the switch
and then get shot right after?
[20:10] Toto
But even if the dome was open, the culprit
couldn't have escaped through the ceiling!
[20:14] Toto
Plus, everyone had alibis for that time!
[20:18] Toto
The dome was a perfect locked room!
No one could have killed her in there!
[20:22] Toto
Maybe this one is too tough
even for you, Ron!
[20:27] Toto
Ron? I'm turning the lights back on.
[20:29] Ron
Wait!
[20:31] Ron
That was the perfect difficulty level for me.
[20:34] Toto
A pitch-black hula hooping challenge?!
[20:36] Toto
So even you've thrown in the towel on this
and have nothing left to do but spin a ring?
[20:42] Ron
What are you talking about, Toto?
Look more closely.
[20:46] Ron
As I was setting up my hula hoop,
the fishing line got caught on it.
[20:51] Toto
That's an important clue!
Don't spin it along with your hoop!
[20:53] Ron
Haven't you realized yet, Toto?
This is the key to solving the mystery.
[20:57] Toto
What?
[20:58] Ron
I've solved the mystery of the locked room.
[21:01] Toto
What?
[21:02] Ron
All that's left is to find the culprit.
[21:04] Toto
The culpr—
[21:08] Orihime
So you were in here after all,
Detective Isshiki!
[21:11] Toto
Orihime-san.
[21:12] Orihime
I got worried that the typhoon
might cause a power outage.
[21:16] Orihime
So I thought I'd ask and see if there
were any flashlights you weren't using.
[21:20] Toto
Wouldn't Unno-san know?
[21:22] Orihime
Yes, I asked Unno-san just now, star,
[21:27] Orihime
but she seems very sensitive at the moment.
[21:29] (Flashback) Unno
Everyone's making me take
flashlights all over the place!
[21:32] (Flashback) Unno
This is the third time now!
Find one yourself!
[21:35] Toto
I see. I can picture her being angry.
[21:39] Ron
Flashlights?
[21:42] Ron
It's no wonder you're the idol
of the Orion constellation.
[21:46] Ron
It represents a great hunter
in Greek mythology.
[21:48] Ron
And just like Orion,
[21:50] Ron
you've hunted down this mystery for us.
[21:53] Orihime
Pardon?
[21:54] Toto
You're not making sense, Ron.
[21:56] Ron
We have all the pieces now,
thanks to Orihime-kun.
[21:59] Toto
Does that mean you know who did it?
[22:02] Ron
Sorry to have kept you waiting,
Detective Isshiki.
[22:05] Ron
It's your turn now.
[22:07] Ron
Let's launch our counterattack.

[00:04] Toto
Following it,
[00:06] Toto
Ron and I headed to a certain
observatory on a remote island.
SIGN At the Observatory: 7 People Die Tragically by Gunfire
[00:10] Toto
A horrific mass murder had
taken place there a decade prior.
[00:15] Toto
And this would mark the first Leonid
meteor shower viewing party since.
[00:19] Jumonji
It's a replica.
The gun wards off evil spirits.
[00:24] Unno
Oh, Director.
[00:25] Donzawa
What's all the commotion?
[00:27] Onodera
I'm Onodera, a photographer

Instructor John Grizzly.
[00:31] Orihime
I'm the idol of the constellation Orion...
[00:33] Orihime
Orihime, star!
[00:35] Toto
The viewing party was supposed to help
overcome the tragedy of the past,
[00:40] Toto
but contrary to the director's hopes,
more killing began to unfold.
[00:45] Toto
The first victim was Onodera-shi,
[00:47] Toto
a woman specializing
in celestial photography.
[00:50] Toto
She was shot dead in the dome,
which was locked at the time.
[00:53] John
Who exactly are you to him?
[00:56] Toto
He's...
[00:58] Toto
Ron is... my friend.
[01:02] John
A friend who would trust him against all logic
[01:04] John
is one thing I thought he'd never have.
[01:08] Toto
The second victim was security
personnel the director had invited.
[01:12] Toto
It was John Grizzly-shi, an instructor
at the prestigious BLUE academy.
[01:17] Toto
He was shot on the roof of the observatory
[01:19] Toto
and from there, fell to the ground below.

[03:44] Toto
Thank you for gathering on such short
notice in the middle of the night.
[03:48] Toto
I've called you here to arrest
the murderer as quickly as possible.
[03:53] Toto
I ask for your understanding
and cooperation.
[03:56] Unno
Did you say "arrest"?
[03:57] Donzawa
So you know who the culprit is?
[04:01] Toto
Yes.
[04:02] Toto
They're here in this room.
[04:07] Unno
No...
[04:08] Orihime
Then it really is...
[04:11] Jumonji
One of us?
[04:12] Donzawa
Can you explain everything?
[04:14] Toto
Yes, of course.
[04:16] Toto
I'll start with the incident
that just occurred.
[04:20] Toto
After Grizzly-san was shot on the roof,
[04:22] Toto
Ron and I immediately rushed
to the spot where he fell.
[04:26] Toto
Why? Because immediately
following the rooftop gunshot,
[04:29] Toto
we saw him fall past the window.
[04:34] Toto
In other words,
if we hadn't seen Grizzly-san fall,
[04:38] Toto
we naturally would've run up to the roof,
the source of the noise.
[04:42] Toto
But someone else ran outside
to Grizzly-san first, too.
[04:48] Toto
And they came without an umbrella,
[04:52] Toto
all to disguise the fact that they'd
gotten wet on the rooftop
[04:55] Toto
when shooting Grizzly-san.
[04:58] Toto
The culprit...
[05:04] Toto
is you, Jumonji-san.
[05:07] Unno
The director?!
[05:08] Jumonji
Oh, come on. I would never!
[05:10] Jumonji
This is such a shock,
I don't know what to do.
[05:13] Jumonji
You're jumping to conclusions, Isshiki-san.
[05:16] Jumonji
I was just so frightened that I mistakenly
thought the gunshot came from outside!
[05:23] Jumonji
Besides, how do you explain Onodera-san?
[05:27] Jumonji
I was with you when she was killed, remember?
[05:31] Toto
I've already solved that trick.
[05:35] Toto
Jumonji-san, during the viewing party,
you pretended to go back to your room.
[05:40] Toto
You then attacked Onodera-san,
who was alone,
[05:43] Toto
and put her to sleep with medication.
[05:45] Toto
After that, you carried her to the dome,
[05:48] Toto
where you'd already shot out the lights
[05:51] Toto
and laid Ron, who you'd also put
to sleep with the same medicine.
[05:56] Toto
That's likely when you put
the master key in Ron's pocket.
[06:00] Toto
Then, as the finishing touch,
you glued the doors shut
[06:05] Toto
and locked the two of them inside.
[06:08] Unno
Hang on! Then how did he lock the doors?
[06:11] Unno
We saw they were locked tight
when we had to break in here!
[06:15] Toto
Yes. That was the clever part of this trick.
[06:19] Toto
He gave Onodera-san a lighter dose than Ron.
[06:22] Toto
She woke up.
[06:24] Toto
First, she probably went for the light switch.
[06:30] Toto
But because the lights were broken,
they didn't turn on.
[06:34] Toto
What would Onodera-san do next?
[06:42] Toto
She would've noticed the doors beside
the light switch and tried to get out,
[06:46] Toto
but they were glued shut and wouldn't open.
[06:50] Toto
In that moment, she would've
assumed they were locked.
[06:52] Toto
She'd have turned the key,
[06:54] Toto
thinking she was unlocking them,
but doing the opposite.
[06:58] Unno
There's no way...
[07:00] Orihime
I mean, if I were in her shoes,
I would've done that.
[07:03] Donzawa
So you figured out the locked room trick!
But there was a murder here!
[07:08] Donzawa
How could someone have shot her
at that point, and who did it?!
[07:14] Toto
The perpetrator knew what
Onodera-san's next move would be
[07:17] Toto
and set up one more trick.
[07:20] Donzawa
Another one?
[07:21] Toto
This fishing line that
Grizzly-san left us is a clue.
[07:25] Donzawa
Fishing line?
[07:27] Toto
The culprit tied one end of the line
to the top of the telescope,
[07:31] Toto
and the other to the trigger of a gun
hidden and secured inside the air vent.
[07:38] Toto
Now, if the lights wouldn't turn on
and the doors wouldn't open,
[07:42] Toto
where would Onodera-san go next?
[07:46] Toto
There, in the darkness,
[07:48] Toto
only one thing was illuminated
other than the light switch...
[07:51] Toto
The switch to open the dome.
[07:53] Toto
With the ceiling open,
starlight would fill the room,
[07:56] Toto
and if she shouted, someone might hear.
[07:59] Toto
Hopeful, she flipped the switch.
[08:06] Toto
But what happened then?
[08:08] Toto
As the dome opened,
[08:09] Toto
the telescope moved to record the star
it had been preprogrammed to follow.
[08:14] Toto
It began to turn,
[08:16] Toto
pulling the attached fishing line taught...
[08:21] Toto
Until it triggered the gun.
[08:26] Toto
The bullet went right through Onodera-san!
[08:29] Orihime
Star!
[08:31] Toto
The line Grizzly-san was holding
[08:33] Toto
was a piece that had snapped
when the telescope rotated.
[08:38] Jumonji
B-But the gun was on the ground next
to Kamonohashi-san! It wasn't in the vent!
[08:43] Toto
The gun found next to Ron
was the model from the lobby.
[08:48] Toto
As for the real gun, while we rushed over
to the body and were all distracted,
[08:52] Toto
you retrieved it from the vent.
[08:55] Toto
Then you used it to kill Grizzly-san, too.
[09:05] Jumonji
Just wait.
[09:07] Jumonji
For the sake of argument, let's say
that's how the murder was committed.
[09:11] Jumonji
But why would I kill anyone?
[09:13] Jumonji
Where's the proof that it was me?!
[09:16] Toto
I'm the one asking the questions here.
[09:19] Toto
Before you helped break down the door,
[09:21] Toto
before we'd even been in the dome,
you asked Unno-san to get flashlights.
[09:27] Toto
How did you know that
the lights inside wouldn't work?
[09:30] Toto
They were broken!
[09:31] Toto
And only the person who'd
set this up would've known!
[09:38] Jumonji
Tch.
[09:40] Jumonji
Dear, oh dear.
[09:42] Jumonji
If you've seen through all of that,
[09:44] Jumonji
then I've lost this gamble.
[09:52] Jumonji
But I don't regret what I've done.
[09:54] Jumonji
Onodera died because she deserved it!
[09:57] Toto
What did Onodera-san do?
[09:59] Jumonji
That woman kept sniffing around the murders
that happened here ten years ago!
[10:05] Toto
What?
[10:06] Jumonji
The celestial photography
stuff was just a cover.
[10:09] Jumonji
She was really a journalist
specializing in unsolved cases.
[10:12] Jumonji
The only reason she approached me
[10:14] Jumonji
was to look into what happened ten years ago.
I realized that immediately.
[10:19] Jumonji
And at the viewing party,
[10:20] Jumonji
she slipped out so she could
rummage through my room!
[10:24] Ron
So the reason Onodera-kun had to die
[10:27] Ron
is because you have something to hide.
[10:31] Ron
Maybe it's that gun...
[10:34] Jumonji
That's right.
[10:36] Jumonji
It was the same gun used a decade ago.
[10:39] Jumonji
I've kept it hidden all this time!
[10:43] Jumonji
On that day, my dad,
the director at the time,
[10:46] Jumonji
used it to kill all the guests and staff,
then himself!
[10:52] Jumonji
I was the first on the scene,
and when I realized what had happened,
[10:56] Jumonji
I knew that his crime...
[10:58] Jumonji
no, the shame he'd wrought had to be concealed!
[11:01] Unno
How could you?
[11:03] Donzawa
So that's the truth.
[11:05] Jumonji
I only wanted to live
the rest of my life in peace!
[11:09] Jumonji
But that stupid woman
wanted to dig it all up!
[11:13] Jumonji
And Grizzly was the same kind of stupid!
[11:16] Jumonji
If he'd just thought Kamonohashi did it,
everything would have been fine!
[11:20] Jumonji
If he hadn't stuck his nose where
it didn't belong and ruined my peace,
[11:23] Jumonji
I'd have even paid him a hefty reward!
[11:25] Toto
What are you saying?
[11:28] Ron
Shoot yourself.
[11:33] Ron
Console the dead with your death.
[11:37] Toto
The gun's gone!
[11:49] Toto
No! Stop it, Ron!
[11:55] Ron
What did I do?
[12:00] Jumonji
I won't let you kill me, Kamonohashi-san.
[12:04] Jumonji
I'll handle my loose ends myself.
[12:08] Toto
Wait, what is that?
[12:09] Ron
Oh no!
[12:14] Ron
Spit it back up!
[12:16] Jumonji
It's too late!
[12:19] Ron
Hey! There are still things
I want to ask you!
[12:21] Ron
Why did you choose me?
[12:23] Ron
Is there a reason it was me
and not someone else?
[12:27] Ron
Was my coming here all part of your plan?
[12:30] Jumonji
O-Of course it was.
[12:34] Jumonji
No matter how much you struggle...
you're still dancing in that person's palm.
[12:39] Ron
What does that mean?
Who are you talking about?
[12:45] Jumonji
Night turns to dawn...
[12:48] Ron
Don't die, Jumonji!
[12:50] Ron
Answer me! I still have questions!
[12:53] Ron
Hey, Jumonji!
[12:54] Toto
R-Ron...
[13:06] Toto
His pupils are dilated.
[13:08] Toto
It's done. I'm sorry to say it, but he's dead.
[13:12] Toto
This almond smell...
Was it potassium cyanide?
[13:28] Toto
Okay. We'll be waiting.
[13:32] Toto
The local police say they're on their way.
[13:35] Unno
What took them so long?
[13:37] Orihime
That's a relief, star!
[13:39] Donzawa
These tears show no sign of stopping.
[13:47] Ron
So, it was all part of the plan
from the very beginning?
[13:51] Ron
You used my love of black sugar syrup
[13:53] Ron
and invited me to the
viewing party through Toto.
[13:56] Ron
You set it up to look like I'd committed
murder in front of a BLUE instructor
[14:01] Ron
and trapped me.
[14:03] Ron
To manage all of that...
Who were you really?
[14:06] Ron
If you did it all at someone else's
behest, then who?
[14:19] Ron
An observatory director's last words
were "night turns to dawn"...
[14:23] Ron
That was quite tastefully done.
[14:30] Ron
Look. Dawn is here.
[14:51] Toto
Ron!
[14:52] Toto
The local police are here.
[14:55] Ron
I see.
[15:13] forensics
Excuse me...
[15:23] Toto
That wraps up the questions,
Orihime-san. Thank you.
[15:26] Orihime
Isshiki-san!
[15:27] Toto
Yes?
[15:28] Orihime
When you're working,
you're a sparkling first-magnitude star!
[15:32] Toto
Huh? First magnitude?
[15:36] Orihime
Comet Dash!
[15:38] Orihime
S-S-S-Star!
[15:43] Toto
They retrieved the bodies
and the police boat has departed.
[15:47] Toto
We can leave whenever we're ready.
[15:51] Ron
I have regrets. To think we'd be sending
Instructor Grizzly back in a bag...
[15:56] Toto
Yeah...
[15:57] Ron
He was a man who might've understood me.
[16:02] Ron
Toto.
[16:04] Ron
Do you remember?
[16:05] Ron
Before we came to this island,
I said I was done sleuthing.
[16:10] Ron
I'm taking that back.
[16:12] Ron
The fact that this incident
so closely resembled my past
[16:16] Ron
was no coincidence.
[16:18] Toto
Your past? You mean
the Bloody Training Incident?
[16:21] Ron
Yes.
[16:23] Ron
Just like in that murder case five years ago,
[16:26] Ron
I woke at the scene of the crime
with no memory of it
[16:30] Ron
and was made the prime suspect.
[16:33] Toto
That's true...
[16:35] Ron
I found another point of similarity
[16:37] Ron
at the scene of Onodera-kun's murder,
bathed in morning light...
[16:45] Toto
This mark!
[16:47] Toto
It's the same as the scar on your neck, Ron!
[16:50] Ron
It was dark the whole time.
[16:51] Ron
I didn't notice it at first
on the black carpet,
[16:54] Ron
but it was drawn there in red ink
before she was killed.
[16:58] Toto
Wh-What are you saying?
[17:01] Ron
I should have realized it sooner.
[17:04] Ron
If you look at my history objectively,
[17:07] Ron
the Bloody Training Incident
was totally different.
[17:11] Ron
The perpetrators died
and suspicion was cast on me.
[17:14] Ron
Nothing like it ever happened before
and hasn't again since.
[17:18] Ron
I only started pressuring culprits
to death after that incident.
[17:23] Ron
And most important of all,
that's how I got this scar.
[17:29] Ron
In other words, I was framed
for the Bloody Training Incident!
[17:32] Toto
Framed? By who?
[17:36] Toto
Jumonji said something about someone...
[17:39] Ron
I'd devoted my life to deduction,
[17:41] Ron
and that someone stole five years
of sleuthing from me!
[17:45] Ron
Whoever it is grew tired of waiting
for me to realize it in my grief,
[17:49] Ron
so they very kindly cooked up a murder
recreating elements from five years ago
[17:53] Ron
and invited me to it.
[17:55] Ron
It's like they're declaring that they
possess brains far superior to mine...
[18:00] Ron
Like they're laughing because they're holding
my life as a detective in their hands!
[18:04] Ron
They're playing games!
This is the greatest humiliation of my life!
[18:11] Ron
I will never forgive them.
[18:22] Old Officer
It wound up just me
and the dead on this boat.
[18:33] Jumonji
I barely managed to escape death.
[18:35] Jumonji
All thanks to you
and that fool of a detective.
[18:38] Jumonji
Still, I never dreamed you
could fake a suicide this way.
[18:43] Jumonji
With this, no one doubted I was dead.
[18:47] Old Officer
You're quite the actor.
On behalf of the family, I applaud you.
[18:53] Jumonji
I don't deserve such praise!
[18:56] Jumonji
I accomplished the murder unscathed.
Now I can begin my new life
[19:00] Jumonji
because you all reached out to me
when Onodera was pestering me.
[19:06] Jumonji
Even now, it feels like a dream.
[19:08] Jumonji
The legendary House of M, the pinnacle
of the criminal underworld, really exists!
[19:12] Jumonji
And before me stands one if its members!
[19:15] Jumonji
It's said that all crime
passes through the House of M,
[19:18] Jumonji
and that what they commit personally
[19:20] Jumonji
is guaranteed to go unsolved!
[19:22] Jumonji
They are the greatest family
in the history of crime!
[19:24] Old Officer
Seems we're better-known that we thought.
[19:28] Old Officer
By the by, how was Kamonohashi Ron?
[19:31] Jumonji
I was meticulous in my observation!
[19:33] Jumonji
When he figured out that I was the culprit,
he suddenly changed, just like you said!
[19:38] Jumonji
There was genuine murder in his eyes!
[19:41] Jumonji
If I hadn't faked my death,
I know he would have killed—
[19:48] Old Officer
Hearing that is enough for me.
[20:03] Winter
Brother, it's finished.
[20:10] Milo
I see.
[20:12] Winter
He said that Kamonohashi Ron
tried to kill the culprit.
[20:17] Winter
I saw Kamonohashi Ron for the first time.
[20:21] Milo
What did you think?
[20:23] Winter
He's not like anyone in our family.
[20:25] Winter
I don't care that he's the sixth generation
of a detective who was our natural enemy.
[20:31] Milo
And the ninth generation
from a certain someone else.
[20:36] Milo
Well, did he get my message
from five years ago?
[20:40] Winter
When he saw the mark that matched his,
he turned pale.
[20:45] Winter
He clearly doesn't know what it means.
[20:49] Milo
One day, he'll come to appreciate
[20:50] Milo
the blood that flows in him from our side.
[20:56] Milo
The ultimate detective, Sherlock Holmes,
[20:59] Milo
and the master of crime, James Moriarty...
[21:02] Milo
That man possesses the blood of both.
[21:09] Toto
Ow!
[21:11] Ron
Sorry, Toto.
[21:12] Toto
Don't start hula hooping out of nowhere!
[21:14] Ron
For some reason, I don't want to go.
[21:15] Toto
Your depression lasted all of a second, huh?
[21:18] Ron
After more thought,
[21:19] Ron
I feel like having a mystery
attached to me is wonderful.
[21:23] Toto
Give it even more thought!
[21:29] Ron
Oh, right, Toto...
[21:30] Ron
I forgot to ask you the most important thing.
[21:34] Ron
Will you continue helping me?
[21:38] Toto
Huh?
[21:41] Toto
Well, without me around, you'd end up
a murderer before you know it. Right?
[21:47] Ron
That's some big talk.
[21:51] Ron
Oh, Chef Unno gave me the black
sugar syrup she won't be using.
[21:55] Ron
I've got three, so I'll give you one.
[21:58] Toto
It's your favorite.
Don't put yourself out. I'm fine.
[22:00] Ron
Then give it to Amamiya-kun.
[22:03] Toto
That looks like motor fuel!
[22:05] Toto
Maybe I should pick out
a souvenir for her instead...

[00:04] Toto
So even you air out your
futon mattress properly, huh, Ron?
[00:07] Toto
Wait...
[00:08] Toto
It's so long!
[00:13] Toto
What a surprise.
[00:15] Toto
Had no idea you aired out
the Floor of Indolence.
[00:17] Ron
I drop it sometimes too,
so don't try this at home.
[00:20] Toto
Yeah, never in my life will I do this.
[00:29] Ron
You look unhappy, Toto.
[00:31] Toto
It's just... I was going to say,
[00:33] Toto
"You've been weird since we came
back from the observatory."
[00:37] Toto
But thinking about it,
you've always been weird.
[00:40] Ron
That means you're the one
who's being weird, Toto.
[00:43] Toto
What?
[00:45] Toto
Well, you might be right.
[00:47] Toto
But only because you're
saying strange things.
[00:49] Toto
The boat carrying the
observatory murderer sank,
[00:53] Toto
the crew is all missing, and you claim it
wasn't an accident. Stuff like that.
[00:57] Ron
Yeah, it's the only explanation
I can think of.
[01:00] Ron
Whoever put this mark on my neck during
the Bloody Training Incident five years ago
[01:05] Ron
also sank that boat.
[01:07] Toto
If that's true,
I'm amazed you can stay so calm.
[01:10] Toto
Isn't the terror creeping up on you?
[01:12] Ron
Running around in a panic
won't help, will it?
[01:14] Ron
As I take the appropriate measures,
I'll still enjoy my everyday life.
[01:18] Toto
Must be nice to be so carefree.
[01:25] Toto
Oh, I'm sorry!
[01:27] Toto
Except... it wasn't there earlier, was it?
[01:29] Ron
On a similar subject,
this wandered into my suitcase.
[01:32] Ron
It's a souvenir from Nandan Island, right?
[01:34] Ron
I'm sure Amamiya-kun will be thrilled.
[01:36] Toto
Really? You think so?
[01:38] Ron
Guaranteed to make her laugh!
[01:40] Toto
Right?!

Nice to meet you!

My name is Monki Chikori.
I'm from Lime Weekly.
[03:46] Toto
I'm Isshiki from Investigation Division 1.
[03:48] Toto
So... you're a reporter?
[03:50] Chikori
Yes! I'm here to shadow you
for a day, Detective Isshiki.
[03:54] Toto
Y-You're shadowing me?
[03:56] Chikori
That's right.
[03:57] Chikori
For the "People to Watch" column of our
newest issue. I'd be much obliged!
[04:01] Toto
"People to Watch"?
[04:02] Toto
Don't you normally cover
entertainers or athletes
[04:05] Toto
for something like that?
[04:06] Chikori
After cases like the serial
drownings in the metropolis
[04:10] Chikori
and the Hand Collector murders,
[04:12] Chikori
I wouldn't want anyone other
than the man who solved them.
[04:15] Toto
But that wasn't in any of the papers.
How did you know I solved those?
[04:20] Chikori
Because I'm completely enamored!
[04:21] Toto
En—
[04:22] Chikori
Oh, I don't mean that in a weird way!
[04:25] Chikori
I was kidnapped as a child, you see.
[04:31] Chikori
The man who valiantly
cracked the case and saved me
[04:35] Chikori
was a police detective.
[04:38] Chikori
Ever since then, detectives
have been heroes in my eyes.
[04:41] Chikori
That's why I became a reporter.
[04:44] Chikori
It's also why, in my own way,
[04:45] Chikori
I try to investigate unsolved cases
and impossible crimes.
[04:48] Chikori
And I've watched you neatly unravel
one after another, Detective Isshiki.
[04:52] Chikori
You're a hero among heroes.
[04:54] Chikori
You're a god to me!
[04:57] Toto
A god?!
[04:58] Toto
She's an odd one.
[05:00] Toto
She's under the mistaken impression
I cracked those cases,
[05:04] Toto
but I can't expose Ron,
so I'm kinda stuck here.
[05:06] Chikori
You're absolutely free to decline
if it'd be imposing.
[05:09] Chikori
I understand it's a lot to ask.
[05:12] Chikori
I'm incredibly grateful just to have met you!
[05:15] Chikori
Honestly!
[05:17] Toto
No, it's fine!
[05:19] Toto
I'm just not assigned
to anything at the moment...
[05:22] Chikori
Amazing!
[05:23] Chikori
So they're reserving you
for the next big case?
[05:26] Chikori
That's the ace detective
of Division 1 for you!
[05:29] Toto
The misunderstanding is snowballing!
[05:37] Chikori
Seeing a great detective at work
is just so moving for me.
[05:41] Chikori
So, you take time to keep
all the paperwork in order too?
[05:44] Toto
Oh, y-yeah.
[05:45] Toto
That's actually the bulk of my job.
[05:48] Toto
I want to get this over with
before she wises up, but...
[05:56] Toto
I've just got more paperwork after this,
[05:58] Toto
so how about an interview
over a quick cup of tea?
[06:01] Toto
Would that work...?
[06:02] Chikori
I'd be honored to join you for a drink!
[06:13] Chikori
I'll have a hot cocoa.
[06:16] Toto
I'll have an iced coffee. Black.
[06:18] Ron
We don't have that.
[06:19] Toto
What?
[06:20] Ron
The only black thing here is sugar syrup.
[06:22] Toto
Ron—
[06:23] Chikori
What?
[06:24] Ron
My name is Chasaku Kamokyuu.
[06:27] Ron
There is no "ro" or "n" in it.
[06:29] Toto
That's definitely Ron!
[06:31] Chikori
A coffee shop that doesn't do coffee?
[06:34] Toto
Can I have a word with you over there?
[06:37] Chikori
That's a great detective for you!
Admonishing him so resolutely...
[06:41] Toto
What are you doing?
[06:42] Ron
Helping.
[06:43] Toto
What?
[06:44] Ron
I'm here to lecture the owner on how to
make my special black sugar syrup latte.
[06:49] Toto
You sure have a lot of free time.
[06:54] Ron
Only because someone's not bringing me work.
[06:57] Toto
Uh-oh.
[06:57] Ron
Got anything unsolved cases?
[06:59] Toto
None today either.
[07:01] Ron
Are you on a date? With that reporter lady?
[07:04] Toto
Huh? How'd you know she's a reporter?
[07:06] Ron
It's simple.
[07:08] Ron
When she entered the cafe, the first thing
she checked was the magazine rack.
[07:11] Ron
And the fact that the front of her shoes
are scuffed suggests she runs a lot.
[07:16] Ron
Her phone case is also stuffed with cards.
[07:18] Ron
Another telltale sign.
[07:19] Toto
I see.
[07:21] Toto
But this is for work!
She's really got the wrong idea...
[07:24] Hayami
How about this place?
[07:25] Julie
I think it'll do, yeah?
[07:27] Tamada
I like it too.
[07:29] Hayami
It's pretty fancy, isn't it?
[07:31] Julie
I'll go get a shot of the sign outside.
[07:34] Hayami
Got it.
[07:35] Tamada
We'll go ahead and order.
[07:37] Tamada
So, what do you want?
[07:39] Hayami
I'll have a caffè latte.
[07:40] Julie
Me too! I'll have the same!
[07:42] Ron
Welcome.
[07:44] Tamada
Um, three lattes, please.
[07:46] Ron
Coming right up.
[07:47] Ron
We're first come, first served,
so it'll be just a moment.
[07:52] Ron
Here you are. One cocoa and one black.
[07:54] Toto
Black? It isn't straight sugar syrup, is it?
[07:57] Ron
You really think I'd do that?
[07:59] Toto
O-Of course not.
[08:01] Ron
I thinned it with water.
[08:05] Toto
Chasaku-san, was it?
[08:06] Ron
Chasaku Kamokyuu.
[08:07] Toto
Are you seriously working here?
[08:28] Ron
Done.
[08:30] Ron
Here you are. Three caffè lattes.
[08:32] Toto
Wow!
[08:34] Toto
When'd you learn such an impressive skill?
[08:36] Ron
The most important thing is drawing out
the platypus within the latte.
[08:40] Toto
Nobody asked.
[08:41] Hayami
What an adorable duck!
[08:44] Ron
A d-d...
[08:46] Tamada
Need a hand?
[08:47] Hayami
I'm good!
[08:49] Ron
A d-duck?
[08:53] Chikori
Don't mind me.
[08:55] Toto
Huh? Did you take my picture?
[08:56] Chikori
I did.
[08:57] Ron
Are you doing a report on him?
[08:59] Chikori
Yes. He's giving me incredibly
valuable experience.
[09:02] Ron
Got questions for him?
[09:04] Toto
Hey.
[09:04] Chikori
Of course!
[09:06] Chikori
I'm going to write an article about
the impossible cases he's solved.
[09:11] Ron
Tch, what a mess. I didn't realize
she was a crime reporter.
[09:18] Ron
Help yourself.
[09:19] Ron
A sample of our black sugar
syrup latte on the house!
[09:22] Toto
That is not a sample size!
[09:23] Toto
Y-You! Come with me a sec.
[09:25] Ron
There's no need to thank me.
[09:27] Toto
Get over here!
[09:31] Toto
What are you playing at?!
[09:33] Ron
Crime reporters can be sources
of critical intel on hard cases.
[09:36] Ron
You need to build
a good relationship with her.
[09:39] Toto
What?
[09:40] Ron
All I can do right now is help set the stage!
[09:42] Toto
Wait! Hold it!
[09:45] Ron
Just between us, we also serve
soba-restaurant-style curry!
[09:48] Toto
Then this isn't just a café anymore!
[09:51] Chikori
Will you please stop causing
problems for Detective Isshiki?
[09:55] Chikori
His time incredibly precious.
Too precious to waste on me, even!
[09:59] Ron
You think that highly of him?
[10:02] Ron
I like you.
[10:03] Chikori
Where did that come from?
[10:05] Toto
Now, now...
[10:12] Tamada
Julie?
[10:15] Ron
Miss?!
[10:16] Toto
Wh-What's wrong?
[10:18] Ron
Call an ambulance.
[10:20] Toto
All right.
[10:21] Ron
And the police.
[10:23] Toto
What?
[10:25] Ron
It was poison.
[10:39] forensics
We discovered a cyanide capsule
in the deceased woman's cup.
[10:44] Toto
I see.
[10:47] Ron
Excuse me.
[10:48] Ron
Don't worry. I will avenge you.
[10:50] Toto
Wha—Hey!
[10:52] Chikori
Please move aside!
[10:53] Chikori
Crime scenes are a
great detective's battlefield,
[10:55] Chikori
and this one is Detective Isshiki's specialty.
[10:58] Ron
So he's a great detective, is he?
[11:00] Chikori
He's solved a number of difficult cases.
[11:02] Chikori
He's a super sleuth to those in the know!
[11:05] Toto
There she goes again with the praise!
[11:07] Ron
I see. Well, that is heartening.
[11:10] Ron
Even a suspect like me
is glad he's on the case.
[11:12] Chikori
What? You're...
[11:14] Toto
A suspect?
[11:15] Ron
Yes, because only three people had a chance
to put poison in this woman's coffee.
[11:20] Ron
Me, who made the caffè latte,
[11:22] Ron
and the two girls who were sitting with her.
[11:29] Ron
The question is who poisoned
the drink and how.
[11:34] Chikori
No need to worry.
[11:38] Chikori
Detective Isshiki will neatly solve this case!
[11:44] Toto
Wha?
[11:49] Chikori
I'm sure you're uneasy with someone
like me covering this, but as a reporter,
[11:52] Chikori
I'll do all I can to write
a good article about your work!
[11:55] Toto
Um, I...
[11:56] Chikori
I should mention that the cases
of the giant snowman in Kushiro
[12:00] Chikori
and the assassination
of the eight-headed serpent in Izumo
[12:03] Chikori
are among those I've covered.
[12:04] Toto
Those are famously complex cases!
[12:06] Ron
You're a very promising crime reporter.
What's your name?
[12:10] Chikori
Monki Chikori.
[12:13] Ron
From now on,
regardless of where the case occurs,
[12:16] Ron
Detective Isshiki should be your first call.
[12:18] Chikori
What?
[12:19] Toto
He's trying to bag cases from all over
the country through her connections!
[12:23] Ron
You should watch him work today, too!
[12:25] Chikori
Why are you saying all this?
[12:27] Toto
She's got a point.
[12:33] Toto
I'm Isshiki with the Metro PD.
[12:35] Toto
I'd like a word with the three of you.
[12:36] Toto
We believe the culprit was someone
with access to the victim's cup.
[12:40] Toto
So I'd like to know what you were all
doing at the time of the incident.
[12:44] Toto
We'll start with the server.
[12:46] Ron
I had just poured the perfect latte,
but something was strange.
[12:50] Toto
What?
[12:50] Ron
My platypus latte art was mistaken for a duck.
A truly bizarre phenomenon.
[12:54] Toto
You really hold a grudge!
[12:57] Toto
Next is Hayami-san who carried the lattes.
[12:59] Hayami
Sure.
[13:01] Hayami
When I took our lattes over
to the table, Julie...
[13:05] (Flashback) Julie
Let's snap a pic with the three of us!
[13:07] (Flashback) Julie
Okay, I'm taking it!
[13:11] Hayami
After that, I took a phone call.
[13:14] (Flashback) Hayami
Sorry, it's the manager
from my part-time job.
[13:17] (Flashback) Hayami
Hello, this is Hayami.
[13:18] (Flashback) Julie
I'm gonna take some
photos around the café.
[13:21] (Flashback) Tamada
Okay. I'll wait here.
[13:22] Hayami
I wasn't on the phone long.
[13:26] (Flashback) Hayami
Sorry about that. I know I kept you waiting.
[13:28] (Flashback) Julie
It's okay.
[13:29] (Flashback) Tamada
Well, let's drink up!
[13:31] Hayami
When I got back to my seat,
Julie was the first one to take a cup.
[13:34] Hayami
Then she drank it and collapsed.
[13:38] Ron
In other words, the only people who could
have poisoned the drink were me,
[13:44] Ron
Hayami-kun who carried the lattes,
[13:46] Ron
and Tamada-kun who was left alone with them.
[13:49] Chikori
Don't steal Detective Isshiki's lines!
[13:52] Toto
B-But...
[13:54] Toto
I don't think it was you, Kamokyuu-san.
[13:56] Toto
You couldn't have known who'd take which cup,
[13:59] Toto
and I see no motive for you to kill at random.
[14:01] Toto
Even if you wanted her dead,
[14:04] Toto
it would've been nigh impossible to determine
which cup would end up in front of her.
[14:09] Chikori
H-How inspiring!
[14:10] Chikori
To think I get to witness Detective
Isshiki's godly deductions in person!
[14:14] Ron
Indeed, I can see growth
in his deductive abilities.
[14:17] Chikori
Who do you think you are, exactly?
[14:18] Hayami
Um, it wasn't like that.
[14:20] Tamada
Right? I remember it too.
[14:23] Tamada
Julie didn't take the cup in front of her.
She took one from the other side of the tray.
[14:28] Toto
What did you say?
[14:29] Chikori
So how did the culprit get her to take
the poisoned cup in the back?
[14:37] Toto
Ah, pardon me. Thank you for your testimony.
[14:40] Toto
For now, I'll use your accounts
to begin sorting out the situation.
[14:45] Toto
Bear with us a little longer.
[14:51] Toto
There was no way to control the victim,
[14:54] Toto
so maybe it was some kind of trick.
[14:56] Chikori
Too bad we don't have the latte anymore.
[15:00] Ron
Detective Isshiki.
[15:03] Ron
You dropped this.
[15:04] Toto
Huh? Thank you.

There may be evidence

[15:20] Chikori
H-How clever!
As expected of Detective Isshiki!
[15:22] Toto
Could I see the photos you took as well?
[15:25] Chikori
O-Oh, of course!
Sorry I didn't think of that sooner.
[15:28] Chikori
I really only took shots of you,
Detective Isshiki,
[15:31] Chikori
but I do have one photo of the lattes
the ladies ordered on the counter.
[15:35] Toto
That's a huge help!
[15:37] Ron
My lattes truly were perfect.
[15:39] Chikori
And why are you over here with us again?
[15:42] Toto
Got it.
[15:43] Toto
I found Julie-san's feed.
[15:45] Toto
She was certainly active.
[15:48] Toto
Looks like she's having fun in every photo.
[15:51] Toto
Oh, here!
[15:52] Toto
This is the latte she drank...
[15:55] Toto
But nothing looks weird here.
[15:59] Toto
So the latte isn't giving us any clues.
[16:02] Toto
This is a problem! How'd the culprit
get her to drink the poisoned latte?
[16:11] Chikori
He's sweating bullets
and clutching his head...
[16:13] Chikori
Somehow, I always thought he
solved cases more easily than this.
[16:18] Toto
No matter how I look at it, there's nothing
wrong with the victim's latte. Right?
[16:22] Chikori
This isn't how I imagined Detective Isshiki.
[16:27] Ron
You're drenched in sweat, Detective Isshiki.
[16:29] Ron
Here. A little refreshment on the house.
[16:32] Toto
What?
[16:33] Ron
A hot hand towel, grande size.
[16:34] Toto
That's a bath towel!
[16:35] Ron
Great, right? It'll steam up
your glasses in an instant.
[16:38] Toto
Yeah, that's not great.
[16:40] Ron
And with our logo,
it'll be a hit on social media!
[16:43] Toto
That is so not how you want to stand out.
[16:45] Ron
Exactly.
[16:46] Ron
That's the key, Detective Isshiki.
[16:50] Ron
When you pick the wrong way to stand out,
[16:52] Ron
you pick the wrong way in life, too.
[16:57] Chikori
Wh-What are you talking about?
[16:59] Toto
That pose means...
[17:02] Toto
We've solved the mystery.
[17:03] Chikori
What?
[17:04] Chikori
You know who the perpetrator is?
[17:06] Toto
Huh? Y-Yeah, probably.
[17:08] Ron
I'm going to space out for a bit.
Come keep an eye on me.
[17:11] Toto
S-Sure.
[17:12] Toto
Right! I have to hear his deduction!
[17:17] Toto
I have a favor to ask you.
[17:19] Chikori
What?
[17:20] Toto
Could you hide anything in the kitchen
with a blade for me?
[17:23] Chikori
Is there a chance of a second murder?
[17:25] Toto
Um, yes.
[17:27] Toto
Though it's the culprit who's in danger.
[17:34] Toto
I would now like to solve
the mystery of Julie-san's death.
[17:38] Toto
As I thought, this wasn't indiscriminate.
[17:40] Toto
Julie-san was murdered on purpose.
[17:45] Hayami
But...
[17:46] Tamada
Julie picked her latte at random.
[17:49] Tamada
I thought there wasn't any way
to make her drink a specific one.
[17:52] Toto
No, that was exactly the trick.
[17:54] Toto
The culprit knew Julie-san
would pick the one in the back.
[17:57] Hayami; Tamada
What?
[17:58] Toto
The answer lies in Julie-san's social media.
[18:01] Toto
She's in the middle of every photo.
[18:03] Toto
She shot things in a way
that drew attention to herself.
[18:08] Toto
Knowing she was like that, it was obvious
that she'd choose most photogenic latte...
[18:13] Toto
none the wiser it was poisoned.
[18:15] Hayami
But all three lattes had
the same platypus on them.
[18:19] Toto
Yes.
[18:20] Toto
Up until a certain point.
[18:23] Toto
What the culprit did was incredibly simple.
[18:26] Toto
They just flicked a finger across
the unpoisoned lattes.
[18:31] Toto
No one else would notice,
and it only took a second.
[18:37] Toto
And it happened in the brief time
they were being carried to the table.
[18:41] Toto
This photo is proof.
[18:47] Toto
Hayami-san, will you answer me this?
[18:50] Toto
How could two of those otherwise
[18:52] Toto
untouched lattes end up with just
the eye of the design misshapen?
[18:59] Toto
The only one who could've done it...
[19:01] Toto
was you!
[19:13] Hayami
But... But Julie was...
[19:19] Hayami
She didn't just want to be
the center of everything.
[19:23] Hayami
She couldn't stand it when
anyone else got attention.
[19:26] Hayami
Even my boyfriend...
The instant I got scouted by a talent agency,
[19:30] Hayami
she stole him from me!
[19:32] Chikori
That's why you...
[19:34] Toto
No matter how strong your hatred,
[19:37] Toto
killing someone is never the right answer!
[19:41] Hayami
What would you know about—
[19:43] Ron
Bash your head in.
[19:47] Ron
Anyone who'd dismiss another's life
[19:50] Ron
has no right to live in this world.
[19:53] Chikori
What is he saying?
[19:55] Toto
B-Bash her head...?
[19:56] Ron
Bash your head in.
[20:01] Hayami
Yes...
[20:33] Hayami
Ow!
[20:35] Hayami
I reek of coffee. What is all this?
[20:42] Ron
Thank you, Toto.
[20:57] Toto
I'm really sorry!
[21:00] Toto
I broke your digital recorder.
[21:02] Toto
You were using that for your article, right?
[21:04] Chikori
Yes, but it only had material
from today on it.
[21:07] Chikori
And it doesn't compare in the least to getting
to see a great detective's true nature.
[21:12] Chikori
I'm perfectly satisfied.
[21:13] Toto
"True nature"?
[21:15] Chikori
I realized something.
[21:17] Chikori
When I saw you with your head in your hands,
thinking over every detail...
[21:21] Chikori
I saw that a great detective's brilliance
isn't solving mysteries like magic.
[21:25] Chikori
It's earnestly tackling
everything with all their strength.
[21:29] Chikori
I respect you even more now,
Detective Isshiki.
[21:32] Chikori
I hope we can work together in the future.
[21:35] Ron
I can't wait.
[21:36] Toto; Chikori

[21:37] Ron
I'm delighted someone shares

Meaning a tough case might fall in our laps.
[03:17] Toto

with something like a wrench,
[07:00] Kawasemi
steal their smart phones, and disappear.
[07:02] Toto
They only take phones?
[07:05] Toto
Not wallets or anything?
[07:07] Kawasemi
Correct.
[07:08] Kawasemi
Based on trace evidence left at the scene,
[07:10] Kawasemi
all of the attacks have been committed
by the same lone perpetrator.
[07:14] Kawasemi
Yet the baffling thing is that
[07:16] Kawakami
their appearance is different
every single time.
[07:20] Kawasemi
This seeming ability to change looks
at will earned them the nickname
[07:23] Kawasemi
"the Mad Chameleon."
[07:27] Toto
So... a master of disguise?
[07:29] Kawasemi

a large man close to two meters in height,

[08:53] Kawasemi
The victim was a local university student.
[08:55] Kawasemi
He was just confirmed dead.

[09:44] Kawasemi
And now the culprit's crossed the line.
[09:48] Kawasemi
I'll have a look at these men.
[09:50] officer A
Sir.
[09:51] Toto
Here it comes! Kawasemi-san's...
[09:54] Toto
eagle eyes in action!
[09:58] Kawasemi
An elementary student with fox-like eyes?
[10:00] Kawasemi
No.
[10:04] Kawasemi
An elegant office worker?
[10:09] Kawasemi
A man close to two meters in height?
[10:22] Kawasemi
I can't see anything.
SIGN Ron
SIGN National Neurological Research Center
[10:30] Ron
Hey, Toto. Did you see Kawasemi-kun?
[10:33] Toto
About that... There was a murder
right in front of us. It's awful!
[10:38] Ron
A murder?
[10:42] Ron
I see.
[10:44] Ron
It's not a matter of disguise.
[10:46] Ron
They couldn't change their physique like that.
[10:48] Toto
What? Then...
[10:51] Ron
If it isn't disguises,
[10:53] Ron
then why does the Mad Chameleon look
completely different to everyone who sees them?
[10:59] Toto
"Why"? Are you asking me?
[11:02] Ron
No.
[11:04] Ron
I'll head there now. Just wait.
SIGN CLOTHIER
[11:13] officer A
We've checked the security cameras
in the shopping arcade,
[11:17] officer A
but between the crowd and his hat and mask,
[11:19] officer A
there's no clear picture
of the culprit's face.
[11:22] Toto
If only there were cameras in this shop...
[11:25] Kawasemi
Regardless, according to forensics,
[11:27] Kawasemi
from the angle of the laceration
to the back of the victim's head,
[11:30] Kawasemi
the culprit is at least one hundred
and seventy centimeters tall.
[11:34] Toto
I only saw him from afar,
[11:35] Toto
but the man in the red hoodie
was around that height.
[11:40] Kawasemi
In other words...
[11:41] Kawasemi
We can narrow the suspects down to three men.
[11:46] Kawasemi
Even as I am now,
I may be able to see something.
[12:11] Kawasemi
It's no use. I see nothing.
[12:14] Toto
Kawasemi-san...
[12:16] officer A
We've finished taking their statements.
There's nothing unusual in them.
[12:19] officer B
We've taken down their names
and contact information.
[12:22] officer B
What should we do?
[12:24] Kawasemi
For now, you can let them go.
[12:29] suspect A
Man, what a pain.
[12:31] suspect B
What's with that quack of a detective?
[12:34] Kawasemi
This is the state I'm in, Isshiki.
[12:37] Kawasemi
You must think my
"Eagle Eye" moniker ludicrous.
[12:39] Toto
Don't say that...
[12:41] Ron
Sounds like you're in a real bind,
[12:43] Ron
Kawasemi-kun.
[12:44] Toto
Ron!
[12:47] officer A
We've caught a suspicious man!
[12:49] Toto
You're the one in a bind!
[12:53] Kawasemi
So you came, too?
[12:55] Kawasemi
I believe you said your name
was Tekemono Kamomi.
[12:58] Ron
No. I'm sorry, but today I am...
[13:05] Ron
Nearsighted Kamosemi.
[13:06] Toto
Are you trying to make him angry?!
[13:08] Kawasemi
No need for theatrics.
[13:10] Kawasemi
Lend me your skills, Kamosemi.
[13:12] Toto
What?
[13:13] Kawasemi
I believe I've already told you
that I understand you two.
[13:17] Toto
The Hand Collector murder case...
[13:20] Toto
He knows it was Ron
who solved that and not me.
[13:23] Toto
Impressive as ever, Kawasemi-san!
[13:26] Kawasemi
You've already heard the details
from Isshiki, haven't you?
[13:30] Ron
Well, since you insist,
I have a few questions first.
[13:33] Ron
I heard the victim was a university student,
[13:36] Ron
so what was he doing in a suit?
[13:38] Kawasemi
I don't know. It may be another case
of returning home after job hunting.
[13:42] Toto
Another?
[13:43] Kawasemi
Yes.
[13:44] Kawasemi
Of the previous victims, two were
on their way back from job hunting.
[13:49] Kawasemi
The others were a mock exam supervisor
[13:51] Kawasemi
and a part-time office worker.
[13:55] Ron
So you're saying...
[13:57] Ron
They were all wearing suits, weren't they?
[14:01] Kawasemi
Now that you mention it...
[14:02] Toto
What's the deal?
[14:05] Ron
That is the great mystery which will lead
to the true identity of the Mad Chameleon!
[14:10] Ron
The culprit's appearance changes every time.
[14:13] Ron
If it's not disguises,
there's only one explanation.
[14:17] Ron
All of the victims are lying.
[14:20] Kawasemi
What?!
[14:21] Toto
Th-They're lying?
[14:23] Toto
But they were the ones who were attacked!
[14:26] Toto
Why would they lie?
[14:28] Ron
A guilty conscience, perhaps.
[14:32] Ron
There was a reason those university
student victims were wearing suits.
[14:37] Ron
And from that we can deduce...
[14:39] Kawasemi
Don't tell me...
[14:40] Toto
Huh?
[14:41] Kawasemi
An "it's me" scam?!
[14:44] Toto
Huh? What do you mean?
[14:47] Kawasemi
All of the victims were money
collectors in a type of scam.
[14:51] Kawasemi
In order to pose as bank
employees or the like,
[14:53] Kawasemi
they went around during the day in suits.
[14:56] Kawasemi
That would explain this seemingly
random series of attacks.
[15:00] Toto
I get it!
[15:02] Toto
If the culprit is caught,
[15:04] Toto
it'd expose that they're all
connected to this scam!
[15:07] Toto
That's why the victims lied!
[15:10] Ron
The culprit has to be someone
connecting the money collectors.
[15:14] Ron
In other words, a member of the con.
[15:18] Ron
There was likely trouble over money
or something within the group.
[15:23] Ron
The reason the culprit took their phones
[15:25] Ron
was to eliminate all trace of contact
[15:27] Ron
with the group perpetrating the con.
[15:32] Kawasemi
Very impressive, Kamosemi.
[15:35] Kawasemi
As I suspected, you're no ordinary man.
[15:37] Ron
You think so?
[15:38] Ron
The real you would've picked up on something
like this long before now, you know?
[15:46] Ron
It's your turn, Eagle Eye Kawasemi.
[15:53] Kawasemi
I would very much like to,
but right now, I can't...
[15:56] Ron
But you're the only one
who can arrest the culprit.
[16:00] Ron
If you insist it's impossible,
then I, Nearsighted Kamosemi...
[16:05] Ron
will scold you with my tongs!
[16:07] Toto
You're stealing his tweezer thing?!
[16:11] Ron
You haven't been sleeping!
[16:15] Ron
And you haven't been eating properly!
[16:17] Ron
Your tanking performance continues
to betray Yamane, who idolized you.
[16:27] Kawasemi
I-I've been trying my hardest.
[16:30] Kawasemi
So no one caves under the pressure
like Yamane did,
[16:34] Kawasemi
I've been careful
with every correction I give!
[16:36] Ron
See? That's your mistake.
[16:40] Ron
One could say you've become
a mistake-filled Demon Lord of mistakes.
[16:47] Kawasemi
Wait.
[16:49] Kawasemi
"Mistake-filled"? You are the one person...
[16:53] Kawasemi
I don't want to hear that from!
[16:55] Kawasemi
I can't hold back anymore!
[16:57] Kawasemi
Your necktie is too long!
[16:59] Kawasemi
These price tags are still attached!
[17:02] Kawasemi
Your socks don't match!
[17:03] Kawasemi
And your shoes are even worse!
[17:05] Toto
He's returning the scolding?
[17:07] Toto
But Ron is dressed unbelievably badly!
[17:11] Kawasemi
And that's not all!
[17:13] Toto
Wait...
[17:14] Kawasemi
Don't put an unwrapped
tempura onigiri in your pocket!
[17:18] Toto
Somehow, Kawasemi-san...
[17:21] Toto
looks like he's come alive!
[17:24] Kawasemi
You said you're nearsighted,
but those glasses are for farsightedness!
[17:30] Ron
See? You can do it when you try.
[17:33] Ron
Now, just turn those eagle eyes
on the three men from earlier.
[17:52] Toto
Kawasemi-san?
[17:58] Kawasemi
Isshiki.
[18:00] Kawasemi
As the man in the red hoodie fled,
[18:01] Kawasemi
you said he rammed a pedestrian
with his elbow, yes?
[18:04] Toto
Y-Yes.
[18:05] Kawasemi
Was it his left arm?
[18:07] Toto
Um... Yes, it was.
[18:10] Kawasemi
Where did it happen?
[18:11] Toto
At the entrance to the crossroads.
[18:13] Kawasemi
As I thought.
[18:14] Kawasemi
The culprit didn't ram anyone.
SIGN No Right Turns Ahead
[18:18] Kawasemi
He saw the sign about restricted
access at certain times.
[18:20] Kawasemi
He was just checking his watch!
[18:23] Toto
What?
SIGN No Entry

Thank you
[18:24] Kawasemi
He thought he'd be able to get through,
[18:28] Kawasemi
but the path was already closed,
[18:30] Kawasemi
leaving him no choice but to hide here!
[18:32] Toto
What? How could he screw up like that?
[18:37] Kawasemi
Because his watch...
[18:40] Kawasemi
was malfunctioning!
[18:44] Kawasemi
Of the three men, only one
was wearing a malfunctioning watch.
[18:49] Kawasemi
He's the culprit!
SIGN No Right Turns Ahead
SIGN No pedestrian passage due to construction
SIGN No Entry

Thank you
[18:55] officer A
No luck. The culprit's license
was counterfeit.
[18:58] officer A
His number and address are fake, too.
[19:00] Toto
That can't be!
[19:01] Kawasemi
It's all right.
[19:03] Kawasemi
We did not find
the victim's smart phone on him.
[19:06] Kawasemi
Which means...
[19:09] Kawasemi
he must have hidden it
somewhere in this store.
[19:12] Kawasemi
He will not fail to return to retrieve it.
[19:14] officer B
We found the red hoodie
in a clothes bag on a shelf.
[19:17] officer B
But we can't find the smart phone anywhere.
[19:20] Toto
Where could it be?
[19:23] Ron
It's simple.
[19:26] Ron
We've already seen it.
[19:29] Ron
The smart phone you're looking for...
[19:33] Ron
is in the middle of a call.
[19:38] Toto
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[19:45] Kawasemi
I see.

[20:48] Kawasemi
Wait, that's strange.

You can't fool my eagle eyes.

is five millimeters askew.
SIGN ...inside the train cars.
This train is bound for Tokyo...
[22:52] Toto
Kawasemi-san said they have the Mad
Chameleon secured and under arrest.
[22:56] Toto
Isn't that great, Ron?
[22:57] Ron
Huh? I had nothing to do with it.
[23:01] Toto
He just can't be honest with his feelings.
[23:03] Toto
Oh, right. What was that business
you had to take care of?
[23:06] Ron
Oh, I went to a neurological
research center that's in Aichi.
[23:11] Toto
What?
[23:12] Ron
The other day, I had Mofu-sensei take a
look at me and my "killing culprits disease,"
[23:16] Ron
and it turns out
more detailed tests are in order.
[23:19] Ron
She gave me a recommendation.
[23:21] Toto
Huh? You mean the Mofu-sensei?
[23:23] Toto
That's what you were doing?
[23:28] Ron
Apparently, depending on the diagnosis,
there may be a way to alleviate my symptoms.
[23:33] Toto
Really?!
[23:34] Toto
Wow! That's great news, Ron!
[23:37] Toto
Oh, come on! You should be celebrating!

Hello. Ron?

Yeah, I just finished work
and I'm on my way home.
[00:12] Toto
What's up?
[00:13] Ron
Do you remember Spitz Fire?
[00:17] Toto
Well, how could I forget him?
[00:20] Ron
About that matter he wanted
me to look into...
[00:23] Toto
He wanted you to look
for his missing family, right?
[00:27] Ron
Exactly.
[00:28] Ron
Toto, do you think I should?
[00:30] Toto
Well, he's been helping
with our investigations,
[00:34] Toto
and when I think about his family,
I figure someone's gotta do it.
[00:37] Ron
I thought you'd say that, Toto.
[00:39] Ron
Please tell him you think we should do it.
[00:42] Toto
You want me to tell him?
[00:44] Ron
He's currently tailing you.
[00:46] Toto
What? He's tailing me?
[00:49] Toto
That's a crazy place to be watching me from!
[00:52] Spitz
Sorry, Tototo. I've got you bugged, too.

Oh?

I'm not done with the place yet.

[02:56] Toto
You seem kinda out of sorts today.
[02:59] Spitz
Oh, no, not particularly!
[03:01] Ron
He's freaking out because I've proposed
absurd terms of exchange for this case.
[03:05] Toto
Terms of exchange?
[03:07] Ron
If he can get his hands on the Bloody
Training Incident file from BLUE for me,
[03:11] Ron
I'll start looking for his family immediately.
That's my proposal.
[03:14] Toto
The case file?
[03:16] Toto
But the police should have that, right?
[03:19] Ron
I've already obtained Scotland Yard's
files on the case.
[03:23] Ron
But a crucial section was removed
[03:26] Ron
by an unknown actor.
[03:27] Toto
How in the world did you get that?
[03:29] Ron
That doesn't matter!
[03:31] Ron
The important thing here
is that vital files are missing.
[03:34] Ron
The investigation was a joint operation
between BLUE and the police.
[03:38] Ron
BLUE should have everything they did.
[03:41] Ron
I want Spitz to get the complete,
unadulterated case file
[03:44] Ron
by breaking into BLUE,
and then bring it to me.
[03:47] Toto
Can you prove your innocence with it?
[03:50] Ron
That's also important, but I'm
most interested in something else.
[03:54] Ron
Mofu-sensei said my culprit-killing disorder
[03:58] Ron
may have been caused by some
kind of medical intervention.
[04:02] Ron
And I have an idea about that.
[04:04] Ron
There are three hours
I don't remember at all from
[04:07] Ron
when I was being treated after the incident.
[04:09] Ron
And the records of that time
were removed from the file.
[04:13] Toto
So that's when it was done?
[04:14] Ron
If we can find out what happened,
[04:16] Ron
maybe we can figure out a way to deal with it.
[04:18] Ron
And most importantly,
[04:19] Ron
we should begin to get a sense of who it was
that stole five years of sleuthing from me.
[04:26] Ron
To that end...
[04:27] Ron
If you promise to get that file for me,
Spitz, I'll look for your family!
[04:34] Toto
Enough, Ron!
[04:35] Toto
Whether you get the file or not,
you should look for his family anyway!
[04:39] Ron
Don't take this so lightly, Toto!
[04:42] Ron
The odds of finding
his family are incredibly low.
[04:44] Ron
We aren't doing volunteer work here!
[04:46] Toto
Even so, you should still do it!
[04:48] Toto
When someone's in need,
you give it all you've got!
[04:51] Toto
Spitz has helped us!
He's our friend, isn't he?
[04:58] Spitz
That's all I needed! Thank you, Tototo!
[05:02] Spitz
I'm ashamed of myself for hesitating!
[05:04] Toto
What?
[05:04] Spitz
When a friend gives their all for me,
[05:06] Spitz
giving all I have in return is my motto!
[05:09] Toto
That's not what I was going for...
[05:12] Spitz
I accept your conditions, Ron-kun!
[05:14] Spitz
If you'll look for my big brother,
I'll go get that file!
[05:17] Ron
Well, if you insist, then sure.
[05:19] Toto
Don't do this, Spitz!
[05:21] Toto
Ron is deftly setting us up
to do what he wants!
[05:23] Spitz
It's all right, Tototo.
[05:25] Spitz
I think I was waiting for him to do this.
[05:28] Spitz
Besides, after hearing Ron-kun's tragic past,
it's the least I can do!
[05:32] Toto
You're a real pushover when it matters most!
[05:34] Ron
Welp, with that decided, it's time to go!
[05:36] Toto
What? You're starting now?
[05:38] Toto
Hang on! You can't just up and go
to Europe or wherever.
[05:41] Ron
Actually, we're going to Yamanashi.
[05:44] Toto
In Japan?
[05:55] Spitz
My big brother went all over the world
researching folk beliefs.
[05:59] Spitz
He was an ethnologist.
[06:01] Spitz
This village we're going to, Yadamura,
[06:02] Spitz
is one he visited a number of times.
[06:05] Spitz
He disappeared eleven years ago
over the summer.
[06:08] Spitz
I happened to be on school vacation,
so I came with him.
[06:11] Toto
Oh, so you were in Japan at the time.
[06:19] Toto
A-A snake! A white one!
[06:21] Ron
Shh!
[06:22] Ron
I hear something.
[06:27] Ron
This way!
[06:28] Toto
Hey, Ron!
[06:32] Ron
Oh, a waterfall.
[06:35] Toto
It's amazing!
[06:47] Toto
What's she doing?
[06:49] Ron
That's... a hokora folk shrine.
[06:52] Toto
Is it?
[07:00] Toto
Wh-Who's out there?!
[07:02] villager A
Sorry. My hand slipped.
[07:05] villager B
That nearly took your head off.
[07:11] Toto
That's dangerous!
[07:13] villager A
I'm sorry. I'll be more careful.
[07:18] villager B
If you plan on going any further,
do be careful, won't you?
[07:29] Spitz
Once we trek down this slope,
we'll be in Yadamura.
[07:32] Spitz
This is the village where my brother vanished.
[07:40] villager C
I'm against it!
Yadagami-sama won't stand for it!
[07:43] villager D
That's right!
There'll be more disappearances!
[07:46] Toto
Are they arguing about something?
[07:49] Ron
Hey.
[07:51] Muroi
And you would be?
[07:53] Spitz
Hello, Mayor! It's been a long time.
[07:55] mayor
Oh! Now, if I remember correctly...
[07:58] mayor
That's right. You're Spitz-kun!
[08:00] Spitz
I've brought some friends with me today.
[08:03] Spitz
Sorry to impose.
We came to look for my brother more.
[08:05] Ron
If I might ask, Mayor,
what's the commotion about?
[08:08] mayor
You caught us at an embarrassing moment.
It's about the dam construction.
[08:12] mayor
A certain outsider is demanding
that everyone in the village move out.
[08:18] official
Calling me that casts me in a negative light.
[08:20] official
I'm a government representative.
[08:22] villager C
Yadagami-sama won't allow you
to build a damn and drown the town!
[08:25] villager D
Yadagami-sama's divine wrath
will strike again!
[08:27] Toto
Yadagami-sama?
[08:30] Muroi
It's written with the characters
for "night snake god."
[08:33] Muroi
It's a deity said to have protected
this village since ancient times.
[08:38] Toto
I see.
[08:39] Muroi
Ah, I'm an ethnologist. My name is Muroi.
[08:43] Muroi
I came here to research Yadagami, but...
[08:51] Muroi
given the uproar over the dam,
this isn't the time for it.
[08:54] mayor
Firstly, let's all calm down, everyone.
[08:57] mayor
They're not going to flood the village
today or tomorrow, you hear?
[09:01] official
Exactly. I've only come
for the initial surveying.
[09:05] villager C
If we let you do that,
it's like giving you approval!
[09:08] villager D
Before we know it, we'll be
at the bottom of the dam!
[09:12] official
Dear, dear. You need
to instruct them better, Mr. Mayor.
[09:16] official
Instead of just teaching them
to have faith in Yadagami,
[09:20] official
you should be teaching them to have manners.
[09:23] official
I'll start work tomorrow.
[09:25] official
If you interfere, I'll sue you.
Keep that in mind.
[09:29] villager C
That jerk!
[09:30] mayor
Will you stop?
[09:31] mayor
Enough already. Scatter! Disperse!
[09:39] Spitz
E-Excuse me, Mayor!
[09:40] Spitz
If this place ends up underwater,
I'll be in a real bind too!
[09:43] mayor
I feel the same way.
[09:46] mayor
But it's what our country is asking of us.
[09:50] Spitz
Even so...
[09:51] mayor
Now then, all of you will be
staying the night, won't you?
[09:56] Spitz
Yes. Would it be all right
if I borrowed the guest hut again?
[10:00] mayor
That official you saw just now
is staying there.
[10:03] mayor
I'll take you all to my house.
[10:15] Toto
Wow, that really came out of nowhere!
[10:17] Toto
It was clear just a second ago.
[10:21] mayor
We call this sort of rain
Yadagami-sama's rage.
[10:24] mayor
There are times when even gods
can't suppress their anger, you see?
[10:28] mayor
Now, do come in.
[10:30] Toto
Thank you for having us.
[10:35] Mii
Why are you here...?
[10:37] Spitz
Oh, Mii-chan! It's been a while!
[10:40] Spitz
That was you at the waterfall, right?
[10:42] Toto
You know her?
[10:44] Spitz
Yes.
[10:45] Spitz
This is the mayor's granddaughter, Mii-chan.
[10:49] Mii
I haven't seen you in a while, Spitz-kun.
[10:51] Spitz
He's letting us stay the night here.
[10:54] Mii
Really? Please make yourselves at home.
[11:03] Spitz
Here's my big brother.
[11:06] Spitz
This photo is from the day
before he disappeared.
[11:09] Spitz
We were going around asking the
villagers for legends about Yadagami.
[11:14] Spitz
After this, we went back to the guest hut
across the river to sleep.
[11:18] Spitz
When I opened my eyes the next morning,
[11:20] Spitz
I couldn't find my brother anywhere.
[11:23] Spitz
I thought he'd just gone out,
so I went looking for him, but...
[11:28] Ron
You never found him?
[11:31] Spitz
I asked all the villagers,
but everyone said they hadn't seen him.
[11:35] Spitz
I went to the police immediately after.
[11:39] Spitz
The villagers helped them search
deep into the mountains,
[11:42] Spitz
but there was no sign
he'd ever left the village.
[11:45] Spitz
It was like he'd really vanished.
[11:47] Toto
Like those tales of getting spirited away.
[11:49] Spitz
I've been wondering, Ron-kun, is that...
[11:52] Toto
What?
[11:54] Ron
Tofu, tsukemono, and wild vegetables.
[11:56] Toto
And enough black sugar syrup to drown them!
[11:59] Spitz
May I try some?
[12:01] Ron
Down it in one big bite!
[12:04] Toto
They seem like they're having fun.
[12:08] Toto
The rain's letting up.
[12:09] Toto
The mayor went to the trouble of giving us
a room with a view of the river,
[12:14] Toto
but at night, the scenery
isn't very impressive.
[12:17] Toto
So that's the guest hut that
the official is staying in, huh?
[12:20] Toto
Wait.
[12:22] Toto
What?!
[12:25] Ron
What's wrong?
[12:31] Spitz
What is that?
[12:32] Spitz
A giant snake? It's glaring right at us!
[12:35] Toto
It's wrapped around someone.
[12:36] Ron
Let's go check it out.
[12:39] Toto
We're going out for a sec!
[12:45] Spitz
This is the only entrance to the guest hut!
[12:48] Ron
Wait!
[12:51] Ron
The ground is muddy from the rain
and there are no footprints.
[12:54] Ron
No one has gone in or out here.
[13:01] Ron
It's unlocked.
[13:03] Ron
We're coming in!
[13:07] Toto
What was that sound?
[13:10] Toto
There's no one here.
[13:12] Spitz
The bathroom's empty, too!
[13:20] Ron
They vanished?
[13:29] Toto
The following morning,
[13:31] Toto
in the pool of the waterfall near the village,
[13:33] Toto
they found the official
dead of unnatural causes.
[13:36] Toto
On his neck was bruising
that resembled the scales of a snake.
[13:50] Toto
The cause of death appears to be
[13:52] Toto
a blow to the head
from falling into the basin.
[13:55] Toto
He has rope-like strangulation marks,
[13:58] Toto
but no weapon has been found.
[14:01] Ron
Don't worry. I'll avenge you.
[14:03] Ron
So tell me everything, won't you?
[14:05] Toto
The marks on his neck really
do look like snake scales.
[14:09] Spitz
Strangled by a snake? That can't be.
[14:16] mayor
What you three saw was Yadagami-sama!
[14:19] mayor
Yadagami-sama took the official
from the guest hut!
[14:23] Toto
But there was no evidence of anyone
entering or exiting the guest hut.
[14:26] Toto
Yadagami-sama would've had to whisk him away.
[14:29] mayor
And you think that's not within a god's power?
[14:32] Toto
That's...
[14:38] Mii
Grandpa!
[14:39] Mii
Why aren't you doing anything?!
[14:40] Mii
Outsiders aren't supposed
to enter the waterfall!
[14:44] mayor
Circumstances being what they are,
I gave them permission.
[14:49] mayor
Mii, Spitz-kun is a sleuth now, and that man
next to him is a detective from Tokyo.
[14:55] Mii
My! A police detective?
[14:58] Ron
Meet Detective Isshiki. People
in the know consider him a great detective.
[15:02] Mii
I see. Is that so?
[15:07] Mii
And who is that?
[15:09] mayor
I believe this gentleman is...
[15:11] Toto
Oh! He's, um...
[15:14] Spitz
Ron-kun is a friend who shares my interests.
We collect rare wrapping papers together!
[15:19] Toto
That's a very niche hobby!
[15:22] Ron
By the way, Mii-kun,
[15:24] Ron
what were you doing up there
by the waterfall yesterday?
[15:29] Mii
I was...
[15:34] Mii
I was leaving an offering for
Yadagami-sama at the shrine.
[15:39] Mii
This waterfall is where we show our gratitude
for the village's protection.
[15:43] Mii
It's tradition for a villager to visit
every day to make an offering.
[15:50] Ron
All of you truly believe
that Yadagami-sama exists?
[15:53] Mii
H-How dare you ask such a thing?
Of course he exists!
[15:57] Mii
Just as he has until now
and will continue to for ages!
[16:05] mayor
That's right! The divine punishment
visited upon the official is proof!
[16:08] mayor
Don't you all think so?
[16:11] villager A
That's right! He suffered
Yadagami-sama's wrath!
[16:14] villager B
This is why we hate outsiders!
[16:15] Toto
When did they show up?
[16:26] Toto
I thought they were gonna attack us.
[16:28] Ron
When beliefs are coupled
with an exclusionary attitude like that,
[16:31] Ron
it can sometimes present as a
state resembling mass hypnosis.
[16:34] Ron
That's exactly what we saw here.
[16:37] Ron
I wonder what's driving them
to such fanaticism.
[16:43] Muroi
How were things at the waterfall?
[16:45] Toto
Oh, you're that ethnologist.
[16:49] Muroi
Muroi.
[16:50] Muroi
And I heard that you're a detective.
[16:52] Muroi
Outsiders aren't allowed at the waterfall,
you know, so I got curious.
[16:58] Muroi
Is the rumor that Yadagami-sama
killed the official true?
[17:01] Toto
We don't know if it was
Yadagami-sama or not, but...
[17:05] Muroi
So there really was a death...
[17:09] Muroi
I've studied legends of gods passed
down all throughout the countryside,
[17:13] Muroi
but Yadagami-sama is unique.
[17:15] Muroi
His legends are still alive, you see.
[17:18] Muroi
There are even reports
of his power of vanishment.
[17:20] Toto
Power of vanishment?
[17:23] Muroi
There was a plan to build
a dam fifteen years ago, too.
[17:27] Muroi
But when it came time for construction,
all the heavy machinery disappeared.
[17:31] Toto
What?
[17:33] Muroi
And your older brother disappeared
here eleven years ago, right?
[17:37] Spitz
Y-Yes.
[17:38] Muroi
When you spend time here in this village,
[17:41] Muroi
it's impossible not to
feel Yadagami-sama's power.
[17:44] Muroi
I once fell down the mountain here
and lost consciousness.
[17:48] Muroi
But when I came to,
I was no longer on the mountain.
[17:50] Muroi
I found myself lying at its foot instead.
[17:53] Toto
Are you serious?
[17:55] Muroi
To be honest, lately, I...
[17:58] Muroi
I feel so enthralled by Yadagami-sama,
[18:00] Muroi
I'm thinking of moving
to live here in the village.
[18:04] Ron
Muroi-kun, yesterday when it rained,
what were you doing?
[18:08] Muroi
D-Do you suspect me?
[18:10] Muroi
I went to the temple where
Yadagami-sama is enshrined!
[18:13] Spitz
Oh, I've been there.
[18:15] Spitz
It holds the shed skin of a huge snake.
[18:17] Muroi
They also have eyes and fangs,
[18:20] Muroi
plus hanging scrolls and old manuscripts
depicting Yadagami-sama.
[18:23] Muroi
It doubles as an impressive
museum and archive.
[18:25] Toto
I see.
SIGN Temporarily Closed
[18:26] Muroi
But for some reason,
it was closed yesterday.
[18:29] Muroi
I had no choice but to go back
to Suzuki-san's house, where I'm staying.
[18:38] Toto
What is it?
[18:39] Spitz
It's just that conversation from earlier...
[18:42] Spitz
Something about it is nagging at me.
[18:45] Toto
Then why don't we try sorting out
the sequence of events?
[18:49] Toto
At dinner, when we looked outside
from the mayor's house,
[18:52] Toto
we could see a snake wrapped around someone.
[18:55] Toto
We hurried to the guest hut,
outside of which was muddy,
[18:58] Toto
but there were no footprints.
[19:01] Toto
All of the windows there have bars over them.
[19:05] Ron
Meaning no one got in or out.
[19:08] Toto
When we entered the hut,
we heard a loud bang,
[19:12] Toto
but there wasn't anyone inside.
[19:14] Ron
What do you think that noise was?
[19:19] Spitz
The sound of Yadagami teleporting?!
[19:22] Toto
That's on the table?!
[19:23] Ron
I love a good occult story myself.
[19:27] Ron
But, unfortunately, I've never
encountered the real thing.
[19:30] Toto
Then you think there could be
some other culprit here?
[19:34] Ron
Of course, I can't say
I'm a hundred percent sure...
[19:37] Ron
I'm two hundred percent sure!
[19:38] Toto; Spitz
He went over a hundred!
[19:42] police officer
Sorry to keep you waiting. Please come in.
[19:51] Toto
It's a fact that we saw
Yadagami-sama in this room.
[19:54] Toto
How did it manage to disappear?
[19:56] Toto
Oh! Could there be a hidden room
or something somewhere?
[19:59] police officer
Well, we searched the whole place.
[20:03] police officer
The dust beneath the roof was undisturbed.
[20:05] police officer
No sign anyone had been up there.
[20:07] police officer
The walls and bars are sturdy
and can't be removed.
[20:09] police officer
We turned over all of the tatami mats too,
[20:12] police officer
but there's nowhere to hide.
[20:15] Toto
I see.
[20:17] police officer
But we did find one clue.
[20:20] Toto
What?
[20:21] police officer
This, here.
SIGN Nandan
Black Sugar Syrup
[20:22] Toto
Ron's black sugar syrup!
[20:24] Ron
So this is where it was!
[20:26] Ron
I had it in my mouth when we rushed out
yesterday, but it disappeared at some point.
[20:30] Toto
Look at that! You got
the tatami mats all dirty.
[20:34] Toto
I'm sorry. That's something he dropped.
[20:37] police officer
I see.
[20:38] police officer
In that case, we have no other leads.
[20:42] Spitz
No... other... leads...
[20:47] Toto
Huh?
[20:48] Spitz
So Yadagami really does exist...
[20:51] Spitz
And my brother...
[20:53] Spitz
He would've been powerless against a god.
[20:58] Spitz
Big brother...
[21:01] Brotz
You tend to be a bit of a baby, but you have
a talent for getting people to like you.
[21:05] Brotz
Find yourself some good friends
and take a path that lets you help others.
[21:11] Brotz
I expect great things from you.
[21:14] Spitz
Why...?
[21:20] Toto
What's wrong, Spitz?
[21:23] Spitz
A white snake in the river!
[21:25] Spitz
It's Yadagami!
[21:29] Toto
What? I don't see anything.
[21:44] Ron
When you officers got here, where
was the bottle of black sugar syrup?
[21:47] police officer
We replaced the tatami mats
after we removed them,
[21:50] police officer
so it was right where it is now.
[21:53] Ron
Detective Isshiki...
[21:54] Ron
your expression says that you've seen
through Yadagami's disappearing act.
[21:58] Spitz
What?
[22:00] Toto; internal
You solved it, didn't you, Ron?

#13 The Case of the Yadagami-sama Murders (Part 2)
[02:06] Toto
Thank you all for gathering here.
[02:09] Toto
I'd now like to explain the murder
that occurred in your village.
[02:16] Toto
Last night, after we saw Yadagami-sama
and rushed over to the guest hut,
[02:21] Toto
this man accidentally dropped
his black sugar syrup on the floor.
[02:25] Toto
However, when we went to the guest hut today,
[02:27] Toto
the bottle was some distance from the spill.
[02:31] Toto
This man said he saw a white snake
in the river, and when we investigated,
[02:35] Toto
we found a stone with a rope tied to it.
[02:41] Toto
These facts, the banging noise
we heard when we entered the hut,
SIGN Temporarily
Closed
[02:45] Toto
and the closure of the shrine...
[02:47] Toto
were the keys to Yadagami-sama's
disappearing trick.
[02:51] Muroi
Trick, you say?
[02:52] Toto
Yes. The Yadagami-sama we saw...
[02:56] Toto
was a painted scroll affixed to a tatami mat.
[02:59] Muroi
What?!
[03:04] Toto
The culprit stood the mat upright,
[03:05] Toto
stuck the Yadagami-sama scroll to the back,
[03:08] Toto
and used the rope to hold it up.
[03:10] Toto
One end of the rope was shut in the door,
[03:13] Toto
while the other was tied to a rock
hanging outside the window.
[03:17] Toto
So the moment we opened the door,
the rope was freed,
[03:21] Toto
and the stone at the other end
plummeted into the river with it.
[03:25] Toto
The mat then fell back into place,
[03:27] Toto
as if nothing had ever happened.
[03:29] Toto
The bang we heard was just
the mat falling back to the floor.
[03:33] Muroi
Th-That's the truth behind
Yadagami's disappearance?
[03:35] Spitz
I'm certain this old painting
is what we saw that night.
[03:41] Toto
The reason the bottle
rolled away from the stain
[03:44] Toto
is because the culprit had lifted
the mat to retrieve the scroll.
[03:49] Mii
But... who would do such a thing?
[03:51] Toto
The culprit didn't want the villagers
to be accused of the crime,
[03:54] Toto
so they planned it to seem impossible.
[03:57] Toto
For their trick to work,
they needed someone to witness it.
[04:00] Toto
And the person who led us to our room...
[04:03] Toto
was you, Mayor, wasn't it?
[04:08] Mayor
Wh-What's this all of a sudden?
[04:11] Toto
Now, as for this morning...
[04:12] Toto
The corpse showed bruising
resembling snakeskin,
[04:15] Toto
and we mentioned the person we'd seen
constricted by a snake the night before.
[04:18] Toto
Normally, one's first thought
would be of the victim,
[04:22] Toto
but you immediately declared
it had been the Yadagami!
[04:25] Toto
Because you knew we'd seen that scroll!
[04:28] Mayor
Th-That doesn't amount to evidence!
[04:32] Mayor
First of all, no one's found
the murder weapon! Where is it?
[04:36] Toto
I-It's true the weapon
would be your link to the body...
[04:41] Ron
Brilliant, Detective Isshiki! The ligature!
[04:43] Toto
Uh, I said the link?
[04:45] Ron
You must mean the rope tied to the shrine.
[04:49] Toto
Huh?
[04:50] Ron
Looking closely, I can see it's
tied differently than it was yesterday,
[04:54] Ron
as though it was used for something
and then returned.
[04:57] Toto
I get it now!
[04:59] Toto
The murder weapon was the shrine rope!
[05:01] Toto
Once we investigate, we'll find skin cells
[05:04] Toto
from both the victim and you on it!
[05:15] Mii
Th-That can't be! I mean—
[05:18] Mayor
Mii, it's all right.
[05:21] Mii
Grandpa...
[05:22] Mayor
I'm sorry, Mii, everyone.
[05:29] Mayor
I did it.
[05:32] Mayor
I hated the official who
came wanting to build the dam,
[05:35] Mayor
so I called him out here and killed him.
[05:39] Toto
Is that truly the only reason?
[05:42] Toto
Isn't there something else you're hiding?
[05:52] Ron
Fall.
[05:54] Toto
Here it comes!
[05:56] Ron
Console the dead with your own death.
[06:00] Mayor
Wh-What are you saying?
[06:02] Ron
Fall into the waterfall.
[06:07] Mayor
All right. I will.
[06:15] Mayor
Fall... Fall...
[06:18] Mayor
Fall...
[06:24] Toto
Don't!
[06:25] Toto
Come back to your senses!
[06:29] Mayor
What was I...
[06:34] Toto
You're all right now. Don't worry.
[06:50] Mii
Grandpa!
[06:51] Spitz
Tototo!
[07:01] Ron
Are those two okay?!
[07:02] Crowd; adlib
Hurry! Get something!
It doesn't matter what!
[07:11] Toto
Mayor, please grab hold!
[07:15] Ron
We'll pull you up! Hang on!
[07:16] Spitz
I'll help, too!
[07:30] Mayor
Mii, please find happiness.
[07:36] Mii
Grandpa...
[07:37] police officer
Let's go, Mayor.
[08:00] Ron
How about you come out now?
[08:03] Ron
You're the one who threw
the rope, aren't you?
[08:14] Shepard
You sure have grown up, Spitz.
[08:16] Spitz
B-Big Brother?
[08:18] Shepard
When did you two realize I was here?
[08:22] Ron
Toto.
[08:23] Toto
Right.
[08:24] Toto
When Muroi said he'd passed out
in the wilderness
[08:26] Toto
and woken up at the base of the mountain,
[08:29] Toto
we considered that someone living
on the mountain had rescued him.
[08:33] Toto
Then we remembered that when
Mii-san went to make an offering,
[08:36] Toto
she had an insulated bag with her.
[08:42] Toto
We figured she might be leaving food
for someone on the mountain.
[08:45] Toto
And there was also...
[08:48] Ron
When Mii saw Spitz, she blurted,
"Why are you here?"
[08:52] Ron
We had to wonder if the person
she'd been feeding looked like Spitz.
[08:57] Ron
So we thought, just maybe,
they were brothers.
[09:01] Ron
Right, Detective Isshiki?
[09:03] Toto
Yup, yup.
[09:05] Shepard
I see.
[09:06] Shepard
You've made yourself some good,
talented friends here, Spitz.
[09:11] Spitz
Why'd you disappear on me like that?!
[09:16] Shepard
It all started fifteen years ago...
[09:19] Shepard
While I was visiting this village on research,
[09:22] Shepard
the mayor told me
about the plans to build a dam.
[09:25] Shepard
I suggested that he use the legends
of Yadagami to play a trick.
[09:29] Shepard
I was only kidding.
[09:31] Shepard
But after I returned to my country,
[09:33] Shepard
I learned he'd hidden
the heavy machinery in the mountains
[09:36] Shepard
and stymied the dam construction.
[09:40] Shepard
Then, four years later, while I was
doing fieldwork in another country,
[09:44] Shepard
my life changed completely.
[09:48] Shepard
I learned something I never should have,
[09:50] Shepard
which caused a certain organization
to come after me.
[09:54] Spitz
Who're you talking about?
[09:56] Shepard
Even on pain of death, I'll never tell.
[09:58] Shepard
If I did, I couldn't promise
safety for either of you.
[10:04] Ron
That's the reason you went missing
without informing your family, isn't it?
[10:09] Shepard
Yes, it is.
[10:10] Shepard
After I evaded my pursuers
and eventually drifted here,
[10:13] Shepard
I took advantage of the village's gratitude
for my part in forestalling the dam
[10:17] Shepard
and took shelter in the mountains.
[10:19] Toto
So the villagers know you're here?
[10:22] Shepard
Yes, ever since the day
I disappeared and left Spitz.
[10:26] Spitz
So that's the deal...
[10:28] Spitz
The whole village conspired to hide you.
[10:30] Shepard
But in the end,
I brought misfortune on these people.
[10:34] Shepard
It was because of me
that the mayor killed that official.
[10:42] Shepard
The official discovered I was here
[10:44] Shepard
and realized there must
be unusual circumstances,
[10:46] Shepard
so he demanded money in exchange
for keeping our secret.
[10:50] Shepard
Before long, his demands escalated.
[10:52] Shepard
When he threatened
to expose me to the world...
[10:55] Shepard
that's when tragedy struck.
[10:58] Ron
I see.
[10:59] Mii
I had no idea.
[11:01] Mii
Grandpa...
[11:03] Shepard
I don't intend to live at the
expense of others' happiness.
[11:06] Shepard
Isshiki-kun, was it? You should arrest me.
[11:10] Toto
What?
[11:11] Mii
You can't!
[11:12] Spitz
Big Brother! I just found
you again after so long!
[11:15] Shepard
Spitz...
[11:16] Shepard
I just wanted to tell you the truth
of the incident before I was caught.
[11:20] Shepard
Now, Isshiki-kun,
[11:22] Shepard
there's instigating the
concealment of heavy machinery
[11:24] Shepard
and much more to charge me with.
[11:26] Spitz
Big Brother, wait!
[11:27] Ron
Was the mayor really trying to protect you?
[11:32] Ron
This is just conjecture on my part,
[11:35] Ron
but I think what he truly wanted to protect...
[11:38] Ron
were Mii-kun's feelings for you.
[11:45] Shepard
Mii...
[11:47] Shepard
Even for a man like me, you...
[11:54] Ron
We're the ones who dragged out the man
Yadagami-sama had stolen away.
[12:00] Ron
I'm sure divine wrath is in store.
Yadagami-sama's rage will descend.
[12:03] Toto
That's when the heavens open up, isn't it?
[12:09] Ron
I'd rather not get soaked to the bone.
I'm heading home.
[12:12] Toto
Hold on! I thought you
didn't believe in the occult.
[12:22] Toto
As this case has now been solved,
I will take my leave as well.
[12:27] Toto
Wait up!
[12:44] Spitz
Thank you, Tototo, Ron-kun!
[13:07] Spitz
Now it's my turn!
[13:09] Spitz
Just you wait, Ron-kun!
[13:10] Spitz
Ron-kun couldn't have murdered anyone
in the Bloody Training Incident.
[13:15] Spitz
What truths are held within
the file sleeping here?
[13:19] Emé
That's far enough.
[13:21] Emé
Could this be what you're looking for,
[13:25] Emé
Instructor Spitz Fire?
[13:28] Spitz
Principal?
[13:30] Emé
Trying to steal Kamonohashi
Ron's incident file...
[13:34] Emé
I trust you are prepared
for the consequences!
[13:38] Spitz
Of course! I owe him so much.
[13:41] Spitz
Come what may, I regret nothing!
[13:51] Emé
In that case, I have a favor to ask of you.
[13:54] Spitz
What?
[14:02] Spitz
Ron-kun, I'm back!
[14:04] Toto
Welcome, Spitz!
[14:06] Toto
I'm glad to see you're okay.
[14:08] Spitz
Thanks, Tototo!
[14:10] Ron
So, do you have the file?
[14:12] Toto
He's stiff with nerves.
[14:15] Spitz
About that...
[14:21] Spitz
It wasn't there.
[14:22] Toto
What?
[14:24] Toto
I thought that might be the case.
[14:26] Spitz
But I do have a message for you.
[14:28] Spitz
It's important, so the principal
asked me to make sure you get it.
[14:33] Spitz
The message is on this tablet.
[14:36] Spitz
But it'll disappear once opened,
so she said to be careful.
[14:41] Ron
Let me read it.
[14:49] Ron
It's a cipher.
[14:51] Ron
I'll be able to crack this quickly.
[14:53] Toto
We don't want to get in your way,
so we'll be over there.
[14:56] Ron
Wait.
[14:59] Ron
It's asking for a password made up
of personal information from you two.
[15:03] Toto; Spitz
What?
[15:09] Toto
It's a message for you, isn't it?
[15:11] Toto
Is it okay for us to hear it, too?
[15:13] Ron
The reason I need you two for the password
[15:15] Ron
is because she wanted you to hear it, too.
[15:17] Ron
I'll read it.
[15:21] Ron
"The situation is dire, Kamonohashi Ron,
[15:24] Ron
so I will now tell you the truth."
[15:27] Ron; Emé
"The clues you seek about
the Bloody Training Incident..."
[15:31] Emé
...have already been erased
from both the police's files and BLUE's.
[15:35] Emé
Concerning the incident,
[15:37] Emé
a bloodstain that was neither
yours nor the victims',
[15:40] Emé
but from someone else entirely
was found at the scene.
[15:45] Emé
Yet none could solve
the mystery of the locked room
[15:48] Emé
where the murders took place,
[15:50] Emé
so no one could clear your name of suspicion.
[15:54] Emé
At some point, someone erased the data
on the unknown blood from all of the files.
[16:03] Emé
Then Instructor Grizzly was killed
in the observatory case,
[16:08] Emé
and there was a report of a mark matching
the one on your neck left at the scene.
[16:13] Emé
I became convinced of something.
[16:16] Emé
The incident five years ago was
committed by a certain organization,
[16:21] Emé
and you were falsely accused.
[16:24] Emé
That mark that appeared on your
neck later, during treatment,
[16:27] Emé
was likely inflicted at the same time
as your culprit-killing disorder.
[16:32] Emé
There's only one organization
in the world capable of such a thing...
[16:39] Emé
The House of M!
[16:40] Spitz
What? Of all things!
[16:42] Toto
What's the House of M?
[16:46] Ron
It's said that all crime passes
through the House of M.
[16:50] Ron
And what they commit themselves
is guaranteed to go unsolved.
[16:53] Ron
They're the most heinous
criminal family in history.
[16:55] Spitz
There's a handful of cases that even the most
accomplished BLUE alumni have yet to solve.
[17:01] Spitz
It's said the House of M is involved
with 90 percent of them.
[17:04] Toto
An organization like that's after Ron?
[17:09] Spitz
Ron-kun, read us the rest.
[17:14] Ron
"I would like to uncover the truth
underlying these things,
[17:18] Ron
but as I've learned there is a mole from
the House of M within BLUE,
[17:22] Ron
I must act with the utmost caution."
[17:24] Toto
There's a spy in the school?!
[17:26] Ron
"That is why I had no choice but to send
a message to you in this manner."
[17:32] Ron
"I hold your abilities in high esteem."
[17:35] Ron
"One day, when you've
proven your innocence,
[17:37] Ron
I look forward to reinstating
your detective's license."
[17:41] Emé
Ron, your parents and I were old friends.
[17:46] Emé
I've watched over you since you were born.
[17:49] Emé
When I heard that you'd made
trustworthy friends, I was overjoyed.
[17:54] Emé
Isshiki Totomaru-san,
[17:57] Emé
Instructor Spitz...
[17:59] Emé
Please look after Ron for me.
[18:03] Ron
"Be very careful."
[18:05] Ron
Signed Emé Emmerich, Principal of BLUE.
[18:14] Toto
Now we know who framed Ron.
[18:18] Toto
Let's catch these House of M guys
and make them tell us everything about Ron!
[18:22] Spitz
Tototo... I love your determination,
[18:25] Spitz
but it won't mean anything
against these people.
[18:27] Spitz
The BLUE alumni who've tried
to crack the cases
[18:30] Spitz
that the House of M was involved in
[18:32] Spitz
have all died mysterious deaths.
[18:35] Toto
You mean they were killed?
[18:37] Spitz
The truth is shrouded in darkness.
[18:40] Toto
A group that dangerous is...
[18:45] Toto
Ron.
[18:59] Ron
Well, this is a problem.
[19:02] Ron
I'm so excited that I can't stop trembling.
[19:09] Ron
As long as Toto and I keep solving cases,
they're sure to show themselves again.
[19:16] Ron
But next time, we won't let them slip away.
[19:21] Ron
We'll drag the House of M into the light!
[21:00] Theo
Big Brother.
[21:01] Theo
Chris, the Ripper killer, is going to
have a baby and would like to go straight.
[21:06] Theo
So we've got an issue.
[21:08] Theo
I'll have him ripped to shreds
and get someone new.
[21:11] Milo
That's not a bad idea,
[21:13] Milo
but it could give rise to someone bent
on revenge fifteen years from now.
[21:18] Milo
Make sure you pull the tiniest
sprouts out by the roots, too.
[21:21] Theo
Of course.
[21:23] Winter
Why has an organization
as meticulous as ours
[21:26] Winter
allowed that half-blood to live?
[21:28] Theo
Hey, Winter!
[21:30] Theo
That's no way to talk to our big brother!
[21:34] Milo
Do you mean Kamonohashi Ron?
[21:37] Winter
Who else could I mean?
[21:38] Milo
It's because he's part of the family.
He carries the same blood we do.
[21:42] Winter
Family?
[21:44] Winter
Then what about Alice?
[21:45] Winter
She shared our blood too!
[21:47] Milo
I wasn't finished.
[21:49] Milo
To be precise,
only those who excel will remain.
[21:53] Milo
Will Kamonohashi Ron prove
worthy of being our brother?
[21:56] Milo
That's what we're trying to determine.
[21:57] Winter
But he carries the blood
of Sherlock Holmes, too!
[22:01] Winter
He'll never be my brother.
[22:06] Milo
Winter.
[22:08] Milo
Are you still angry about the fact
that we disposed of Alice?
[22:13] Winter
Let go of me!
[22:14] Theo
W-Wait!
[22:16] Milo
There is but one way to fulfill
both your desires and mine.
[22:25] Milo
Despair.
[22:27] Milo
The House of M's perfect crimes
[22:30] Milo
have long been foiled by Sherlock
Holmes and his descendants.
[22:37] Milo
Kamonohashi Ron carries his blood,
so the one thing we cannot allow
[22:42] Milo
is him to become a detective.
[22:47] Milo
Therefore, we shall bestow despair upon him.
[22:51] Milo
We will ascertain whether he
is worthy of the House of Moriarty
[22:55] Milo
after he has completely
given up on his deductions.
[22:59] Milo
Even if he becomes incapacitated
in the process, so be it.
[23:04] Milo
It would simply mean that
that's all he was capable of.
[23:12] Winter
I will be very thorough.
[23:17] Milo
I'm counting on it.
