[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?!

Now then, Isshiki...
[03:19] Toto
She's ignoring it!
[03:21] Amamiya
I have a job for you.
[03:23] Toto
Huh?
[03:25] Toto
She didn't give me any details.
I wonder what this job is.

[03:39] Chikori
Nice to meet you!
[03:41] Chikori
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.
SIGN Memo
SIGN The victim's social media and the reporter's photos
[15:16] Toto
Oh, that's it!
[15:17] Toto
There may be evidence
on Julie's social media!
[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
What the?
[21:37] Ron
I'm delighted someone shares
my opinion of Detective Isshiki's greatness.
[21:41] Ron
Here, I've made lattes for everyone.
[21:43] Ron
Carry them, won't you, Detective Isshiki?
SIGN Great news!
SIGN Reporter connection
SIGN acquired!
[21:45] Toto
I can't show her this!
[21:47] Toto
These taste better when you mix them.
[21:49] Chikori
Oh, thank you!
[21:52] Ron
Chikori-kun, if you're hungry,
[21:55] Ron
I'll order delivery for you.
[21:56] Toto
Cafés don't do that!
[21:59] Ron
Then you should treat her to home cooking.
[22:01] Ron
I want some too, so perfect timing.
[22:03] Toto
Seriously, what gives?
[22:04] Ron
I'll even drown your dishes
in black sugar syrup for you!
[22:08] Toto
You always do that!
