[00:08] (Flashback) student A
    He cracked the case?!
[00:12] (Flashback) student B
    This murder was a cold case...
[00:14] (Flashback) student C
    People said it would never be solved.
[00:16] (Flashback) student D
    That new student's unbelievable.
    The greatest the school has ever seen!
[00:20] (Flashback) student E
    Does he understand how criminals think?
[00:24] (Flashback) teacher
    Once you graduate, it could be the end
    of unsolved cases around the world...

[00:34] (Flashback) Ron
    I'm flattered by your praise.
[00:36] (Flashback) Ron
    Using such peerless abilities
    to devote myself to becoming a detective

[02:20] Toto
    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.
[05:36] Ron
    Unlike you, who gets shrill
    every time you talk about her.
[05:40] Toto
    That's because she's scary.
[05:43] Toto
    Just today...

[05:45] (Flashback) detective C
    Amamiya-san!
[05:47] (Flashback) detective C
    A body was found on the riverbank!
[05:49] (Flashback) detective C
    It's a male in his twenties
    with a head injury.
[05:52] (Flashback) detective C
    They're sending a photo.
[05:57] (Flashback) Amamiya
    This could have been foul play.
[06:00] (Flashback) Amamiya
    We're heading to the scene!
[06:01] (Flashback) detective A; D
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:02] (Flashback) Toto
    Amamiya-senpai!
[06:03] (Flashback) Toto
    Please take me too!
[06:05] (Flashback) Amamiya
    No. I have much more fitting work for you.
[06:08] (Flashback) Amamiya
    Here.
[06:09] (Flashback) Toto
    Huh?
[06:10] (Flashback) Toto
    What's this?

    Wha-bam!

[06:19] (Flashback) Amamiya
    Don't slack off, now.
[06:20] (Flashback) Toto
    Ma'am!
[06:23] Toto
    That's how it went.
[06:25] Ron
    It's incredible that you have a file
    with work just for you, isn't it?
[06:29] Toto
    Except they're all odd jobs
    or low-priority cases.
[06:33] Toto
    People secretly call it the trash bin.
[06:35] Ron
    One day, you'll have the last laugh.
[06:39] Ron
    One day, the trash man will
    rule over all of humanity.
[06:41] Toto
    I will not! You suck at being comforting!
[06:43] Ron
    So, what's today's trash?
[06:46] Toto
    Hey.
[06:47] Toto
    There was a report about
    missing money from a piggy bank.
[06:51] Toto
    It ended up at Division 1
    by some mistake or other.
[06:54] Ron
    A piggy bank?
[06:55] Toto
    It's what you might call
    an utterly impossible crime,
[06:59] Toto
    but you don't seem like you'd be
    interested in the theft of small change.
[07:12] Ron
    Let's go, Toto.
[07:13] Toto
    I have so many questions!
[07:15] Toto
    What is that? A-A disguise?
[07:17] Toto
    What's gotten into you?
[07:19] Ron
    Solving cases everyone else has abandoned...
[07:22] Ron
    That duty falls to me,
    the most talented man in BLUE's history.
[07:26] Ron
    Now, let's go.
[07:27] Toto
    H-Hey! Hang on!
[07:30] Toto
    Whoa, that was close!
[07:35] Toto
    Is it dead?
[07:36] Ron
    It's sleeping.
[07:43] little sister
    Yes?
[07:45] little sister
    Oh.
[07:46] Toto
    Hello. My name's Isshiki.
    I'm with the police.
[07:49] Ron
    And I'm Kanetamaru Kamoo
    with Piggy Bank Emergency Services.
[07:53] little sister
    P-Please, come in.
[07:55] Toto
    Why do you sound like a money collector?
[07:57] Ron
    Names and natures often agree, right?
[07:59] Toto
    This one's on the nose!
[08:00] Toto
    If you're found out, you're a dead man!
    Pick a normal name.
[08:04] Ron
    Oh?
[08:05] Ron
    What's this?
[08:08] Ron
    This must be the piggy bank
    we've heard tell of.
[08:10] Toto
    Kanetamaru!
[08:11] little sister
    That's a suitcase.
[08:13] Ron
    No wonder it's so large. Is it yours?
[08:16] Little sister
    It's my big sister's.
    She just returned home.
[08:18] Toto
    It's just the two of you living here, right?
[08:20] Toto
    And the lightened piggy bank would be...
[08:22] little sister
    In the living room.
[08:25] Ron
    Th-This is...
[08:28] Ron
    This is the hit piggy bank
    with a rubber valve
[08:30] Ron
    from which it is completely
    impossible to remove coins!
[08:33] Ron
    The Impregnable Pig!
[08:35] Toto
    How do you know all that?
[08:37] Ron
    I just used your phone to look it up.
[08:39] Toto
    Don't use it without asking!
[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
    When'd you grow that?!
[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.
[09:42] Toto
    What?!
[09:43] Ron
    An impregnable piggy bank in a locked house...
[09:46] Ron
    Pilfering money from there
     is truly an utterly impossible crime.
[09:50] Toto
    Didn't you say solving
    overlooked cases was your duty?
[09:53] Toto
    Hang on. A-Are you drinking
    undiluted black sugar syrup?

[09:57] older sister
    I'm home!
[09:59] little sister
    That's my sister!
[10:05] older sister
    The day before yesterday, I was helping
     our parents and stayed at their house.
[10:08] older sister
    I came back yesterday.
[10:11] older sister
    And when my little sister got home...
[10:14] little sister
    I noticed it was lighter when I picked it up
     to put some change in.
[10:18] older sister
    I think she's just imagining it, but...
[10:21] Ron
    Imagining it?
[10:23] Toto
    No new information, huh? This is a problem.
[10:27] Ron
    Why not leave it at that?
    Just a trick of the mind.
[10:30] Toto
    Hey, don't toss the whole investigation!
[10:32] little sister
    I'm not imagining things!
[10:34] little sister
    This pig was as heavy as an iron statue!
[10:45] Ron
    Nice, younger sister.
[10:47] Ron
    That's what I wanted to hear.
[10:50] older sister
    What?
[10:51] Ron
    If that's case, let's break the piggy bank.
[10:54] Toto
    Your Japanese isn't making sense!
[10:56] older sister
    I don't mind, but...
[10:58] little sister
    All right.
[11:04] little sister
    I still think there's less than before.
[11:06] Toto
    But there's no way to be certain.
[11:09] Ron
    Whoa there. Please don't touch those.
[11:11] Ron
    Toto is going to send them
    to forensics for fingerprinting.
[11:15] Ron
    I'm going for a walk, so let's meet up later.
[11:18] Toto
    What?!
[11:24] Toto
    There you are!
[11:28] Ron
    You're late, Toto.
[11:29] Toto
    I ran all the way here!
[11:31] Toto
    Why are we out here anyway?
[11:36] Toto
    Do we have the forensics results?
[11:39] Toto
    Huh? The younger sister's fingerprints
    weren't on any of the coins?
[11:43] Ron
    I knew it.
[11:45] Toto
    You knew that?
[11:51] Toto
    Is that...
[11:54] Toto
    Amamiya-senpai!
[11:59] Toto
    Amamiya-senpai! What are you doing here?
[12:03] Amamiya
    Inspecting the corpse.
[12:04] Amamiya
    I told you this morning not to come, didn't I?
[12:07] Ron
    Is that the body there?
[12:09] Toto
    Hey, wait! You can't just go in like...
[12:11] Amamiya
    Who is that?
[12:12] Toto
    H-He's a f-friend.
[12:14] Ron
    Amamiya-kun.
[12:16] Ron
    What if Isshiki Totomaru
    solves this murder case?
[12:22] Amamiya
    What kind of joke is that?
[12:23] Toto
    Who knows? He's always such a prankster!
[12:28] Amamiya
    If you screw this up and fail to put
    this expression on my face, you're fired, okay?
[12:33] Toto
    Fired?!
[12:41] Ron
    So, we finally meet.
[12:43] forensics
    Who are you?!
[12:45] Ron
    I will avenge you.
[12:48] Toto
    Hey, what do you think you're doing?!
[12:50] Ron
    Everything's in place.
[12:52] Toto
    What?
[12:55] Ron
    Detective Isshiki.
[12:56] Toto
    Huh?
[12:57] Ron
    You're up.
[13:07] Toto
    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
    Toto.
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!
[19:13] Toto
    Here it comes!
[19:14] Amamiya
    Entering a restricted area without permission!
[19:16] Amamiya
    Interfering in an investigation!
[19:18] Amamiya
    Intimidating a suspect!

    What's your friend's name?!

    I-It's Kamoo.
[19:25] Amamiya
    Really?
[19:30] Amamiya
    Kamoo-sama, huh?
[19:32] Toto
    Y-You gotta be kidding me.

    I need to tell him how things turned out.
[19:42] Ron
    Do you have a case
    that will set my heart dancing?!
[19:46] Toto
    You just solved one yesterday!
[19:49] Ron
    I was only joking, of course...
[19:52] Toto
    Don't collapse into tears!
[19:56] Toto
    He really is an odd duck.
[19:59] Toto
    He's totally weird.
    He's obsessed with cases. He's unreasonable.
[20:03] Toto
    I never want to work with him again...
[20:07] Ron
    Amamiya-kun complimented
    you today, didn't she?
[20:10] Toto
    Come to think of it,
    she didn't have one kind word for me...
[20:13] Ron
    Hold your head high, Toto.
[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...
[20:28] Toto
    that's looking forward to Ron's deductions
    and the thrill of solving a mystery.
[20:33] Ron
    Well, this makes today a special occasion.
[20:38] Ron
    A puppet was born!
[20:39] Toto
    What'd you just say?!
[20:46] vice principal
    Principal,
[20:48] vice principal
    do you remember the man known
    as Kamonohashi Ron from class 87?
[20:53] Emé
    Yes, of course I do.

    Emé Emmerich
[20:57] Hirsch
    The man with the highest marks
    in the history of BLUE?
SIGN    Anatomy Instructor
[21:02] vice principal
    That is correct.
SIGN    Vice Principal
[21:03] vice principal
    We've just received word from Japan.
    He's suspected of resuming detective work.
[21:09] disguise instructor
    Really?
SIGN    Disguise Instructor
[21:11] disguise instructor
    This may be the end of unsolved
    cases as we know them in Japan.
[21:15] Finn
    What are you saying?
SIGN    Locked-Room Theory Instructor
[21:16] Finn
    Have you forgotten that all of the
    culprits in the case he handled died?
[21:21] timetable instructor
    He may give rise to yet another tragedy.
SIGN    Timetable Instructor
[21:26] John
    Indeed.
SIGN    Closed Circle Theory Instructor
[21:27] John
    I agree.
[21:29] vice principal
    Five years ago, we expelled him
[21:33] vice principal
    and barred him from obtaining
     a detective's license.
[21:45] Emé
    The situation is clear.
[21:47] Emé
    We at BLUE seek the truth.
[21:50] Emé
    And to ensure that justice is never
    overshadowed by evil, we train detectives.
[21:56] Emé
    We cannot have a detective who kills people.
[22:00] Emé
    I order an investigation of Kamonohashi Ron.
SIGN    Tracking Instructor
[22:06] Spitz
    I believe I'm suited to the task.
