"Furthermore," "I kept it quiet from my family." "It's a pit viper!" "Don't disturb it." "Stay still." "It'll lunge out and try to bite you." "Stay still!" "The snake's the one that's scared, you know!" "Coming out of your hole, face to face with a guy you don't know, not knowing what they'll do!" "It's best if they know you won't do anything."

" Sure." "So you go to all sorts of places?" "I'm just a regular draper." "Stayed in Shimoda last night, heading through Amagi today.." "..no idea about tomorrow." "Ever see anything scary?" "Hmm..." "Now that you mention it, everything's scary, really." "What's the scariest?" "The scariest are - humans, of course." "Humans?" " Yep." "Humans." "Running away from home, then?" "You're better off going home." "Are you helping your father out?" "I don't have a father." "He died a long time ago." "It's just my mother." "Wild horse, huh." "Medical work?" "We're a blacksmith family." "I hate it." "I hate Shimoda too." "I want to visit my brother working in town, and become a printer."

"It'll get dark if we don't hurry." "It'll rain around here tonight too, I'm sure." "Don't worry" " I'll pay for them!" "Well then.." "How much?" " 20 sen." "Thanks very much." "That's a laborer." "Those types tend to wander around." "They're usually up to no good." "Well, boy," "I've got something to do here." " What?" "So long." " You're not going to Shuzenji?" "Thanks for the meal!" "I started to have regrets." "Plunging alone into unknown country filled with unknown people left me vaguely fearful." "If I turned back and walked all night," "I could be back at Shimoda by morning..." "I began to think thus." "Someone's downstairs..!" "He's seen us...!" "He's not coming back!" "What should we do?"

"What?" "What?" "Speak louder!" "A murder?" "Understood." "Who's the victim?" "Unknown, sir!" " Unknown?" "You can't call it a murder if there's no body!" "Inspector!" "As I mentioned on the phone, the person who discovered..." "My name is Kuroda, truck freighter from Shimoda." "ON-SITE INSPECTION" "Right here." "Let's take a look." " Yes, sir." "It rained last night, too." "That means the footprints will.." "There's more over there, sir." " After you." "You." "Yes?" "What were you doing all the way out here?" "Well, I'd been having diarrhea problems since this morning, and" "OK, got it." "These pants, someone's tried to.." "The loincloth as well..." "Seems like an incident then.." "It smells." "Do you smell it, sir?" "I'm terribly sorry!" "You went around here?" "No, further that way.." "Be more careful!" "Let's check his belongings." "Doesn't seem like a thief." "A little unlike suicide, too." "So it is a murder!" " Listen." "Where's the body then?" "Did you actually look around for it?" "If it were a Ranpo Edogawa novel, it'd be a bodiless murder!" " This ain't a detective novel!" "How do you kill someone without a dead body?" "Look - tobacco." "Sir!" "A thief wouldn't leave this..." "There's no way this is a robbery!" "The tobacco in his pocket is all cut up, yet there's no sign of a pipe anywhere!" "Which means, there should be something we're missing further downstream!" "Get looking!" "There must be a body somewhere!" "A little further up, there's an ice manufacturing storage facility." "Usually nobody goes anywhere near.." "Why didn't you say so earlier?" "!" "Did you check it out?" "After you." "I can't see, it's so dark." " Leave it to me!" "Excuse me." "It's nice and cool." " That's because there's ice here." "I know!" "Footprints." " Eh?" "They're fresh." "These are barefeet." "Usually you wear sandals when treading on ice.." "You wouldn't go barefoot." "They're barefeet though." "They don't much look like adult male feet, either..." " Right." "22.8 centimetres." "So a woman, then?" "So it's a female deviant!" "The body is the problem!" "Look for it, no stone unturned!" "Search for the owner of the items left at the scene of the incident!" "Why's it gotta rain again?" "Always lots of rain on the pass!" "Constable!" "Officer!" "Yes?" " What?" "Did you find it?" "No, not quite yet - come here for a minute!" "There's a wasabi plantation just below " "I think it might be around there..." "We're looking for a dead body." "Let's get going." "Terribly sorry, constable!" "Why is it so deep here?" "Listen!" "Hello?" "Did you see this - on a laborer man - passing through - yesterday?" "Or did he not pass through here?" "Well, my eldest daughter met with a landlord up in Mishima - they'd still be up there..." "You're the fifth, old boy!" "As for my son today, he headed up that way, to go and help out." "You there." " Yes sir." "Listen!" "This old lady's deafness is famous on the pass, so she usually gets her granddaughter to translate." " Who're you calling deaf?" "So you can hear?" "She hears those kinds of things." "Thanks to you people, even an old woman like me can keep on living in this shop!" "Just for good measure, I wonder if we ought to ask that daughter in Mishima?" "Thank you very much." "Just one thing - you think he's the same person as the man that was here?" "What kind of mischief was he up to?" " We'll ask the questions!" "He had a creepy way of speaking too." "Poof!" "He all of a sudden came up, and stood there.." "Here?" " Yeah.." "After that, he brought out 15 sen, tapped here with his fingers, and when I brought one out for him, he put it in his pocket and poof, off he went toward the ridge!" "Poof, without saying anything?" "How old would you say he was?" "About 40, I 'spose?" "What else..." " About this high?" "More like around here." " This high?" "So on the evening of the 28th..." "Day before yesterday!" " The day before yesterday was the 28th!" "Um, who was it?" "No doubt about it!" "The barefoot girl was around 6pm, so..." "I'd say the man was around 5pm..?" " W-wait a sec!" "What do you mean 'barefoot girl'?" " A barefoot girl." "Her zouri were shoved in her obi." "After the man left she came about an hour later, so I'd say she was headed up the Amagi Pass." "She was in a terrible hurry." "She was wearing a shawl so I couldn't see well, but she was refined, like a geisha." "The footprints in the ice storage!" "What?" " The footprints were a woman's!" "No snap judgements." "I have a hunch sir!" " Hunches are lazy!" "By the way, aren't Ryosaki Tsuchiya's fabrics usually like this?" "Ryosaki?" "His place is over there!" " Eh?" "Ryosaki?" "You there?" "Piece of shit!" " You wench!" "You have a customer!" " Later!" "That's my umbrella!" "Where'd you get this?" "Who cares about that?" "Mio!" "You call this cleaning up?" "Give me my 1000 sen back!" "You're a fine one to talk!" "Bringing a filthy laborer here, giving him our food - my umbrella was even pinched!" "Your umbrella's right here!" "It's the police." "It's a policeman!" "We're on an investigation." "We'd like to inquire about this umbrella, and about a laborer man, like you were talking about just now." "I gotta pee!" " Me too!" "Great!" "Let's all let loose together!" "Pee competition." "I'm first!" "Here we go!" "Mine's like a Meiji treasure!" "Look at Ryosaki's one!" "A man!" "Is he dead?" "Dead as nails." "Sorry." "I see." "So that's the guy you brought here?" "Yes." "Ryosaki and the others banded together and brought him here to the inn.." "Right?" "Been raining a lot, so.." "seems like he'd come down with something." "They said it'd be best to check in on him come tomorrow morning." "And then my umbrella was stolen..." " Yeah, and so..." "Who said you...?" " I'm fixing it!" "Could I see the hotel register?" "What's this all about?" "This is meant to be regulation here!" "Like I said, wasn't my responsibility!" "Couldn't be helped!" "I'm the one that usually writes it, but I had no idea!" "No idea?" "No idea?" "You trying to trick the police?" "No matter how much you ask, I don't know his name, whereabouts, address.." "So he stayed the night of the 27th, and the next day.." "No...on the tatami, and the futon - all over the place, like he hadn't slept in a place like this in ages, he slept like a log all through the morning, up until around 3 in the afternoon, when he woke up" "and made a big fuss as he went to leave." "Just as I had left on an errand." "And, I gave him a little something - a parting gift." "On a 1 yen note." "Wait. 1 yen?" ""The good you do for others is good you do yourself"." "If this guy falls over and dies somewhere, they won't even bury him if he ain't carrying money." "So on the back of the note, with a red pencil," ""yoroshiku" is a common Japanese word meaning "Please treat (me) well", or "Please take care of (it)"." "I wrote, "DO SOMETHING ABOUT "yoroshiku" is a common Japanese word meaning "Please treat (me) well", or "Please take care of (it)"." ""yoroshiku" is a common Japanese word meaning "Please treat (me) well", or "Please take care of (it)"." "THIS GUY, OKAY?" "yoroshiku" is a common Japanese word meaning "Please treat (me) well", or "Please take care of (it)"." "and then " " Wait a sec." ""yoroshiku" is a common Japanese word meaning "Please treat (me) well", or "Please take care of (it)"." "and then " " Wait a sec." "Er.." "And, that he has no name." "I wrote that too." "This girl went to clean the futon in the rain, and-!" "He'd done a number on the futon." " Peed in it?" "Not that, you fool!" "The kind of thing pimple-faced schoolboys do, messing their heads up..." "You're right about that sir." "What on earth is it?" "Hid underneath the covers, and blew his nose!" "I gave it a good wipe, but.." "it was still all slimy and sticky." "Weird smelling." "All over the edges of the futon." "Well - have a look yourself!" "He was out of his mind." "Right here." "I saw it when I had the register." "Tattoo of a peach." "Kenzo." "What?" "This policeman's saying he wants to ask you something..." "Come here for a minute." "Let's take a quick walk." "Nothing to worry about." "After hearing it from a few different people in Yugashima, it sounds like you but... five days ago," "June the 28th, you climbed Mt." "Amagi, right?" "Yes." "You were with a girl, too, right?" "Well?" "Yes." "Who was she?" "I don't know." " You don't?" "Don't play dumb." "Your dad's worried." "He's not my dad." "He's my uncle." "He boards nearby." "He just came to do some work." "I guess you don't want to talk about the girl." "Let's go somewhere else then." "No." ""hana" means "flower"." "I'm Hana." " Hana..." ""hana" means "flower"." ""hana" means "flower"." "Like "the flower that bloomed"." ""hana" means "flower"." "Simple little name." ""hana" means "flower"." ""hana" means "flower"." "Hana, the "flower that bloomed", huh." "And then?" "We talked about a lot of things." "Like?" "How far it was to Shimoda... how it probably wouldn't rain." "After that...we parted ways." "Why?" "The girl said, "I've got something to do"." ""Something to do"?" "By the way... did you see any burly laborer men around?" "I drew it so it's not very good, but if you take a look at the facial composite.." "This guy." "I saw him." " You did?" "When?" "Before, or after you left the girl?" "Before." " And?" "When I was in the tunnel, I looked back and..." "Ah, old man Tajima?" "He put in an order the other day..." "Is that so!" "The old man first came around March last year." "Guess it was a transfer." "He's only part time nowadays, but he's had a long service." "Before coming here he was head of criminal affairs in Hamamatsucho." "Before that, he did public service all around the prefecture, but I suppose he started out as... the Shimoda station's..." "The Shimoda station?" " Ah, of course - you were at Shimoda too right?" "Well, a long time ago... way back..." "I just lived there as a child." "Tajima worked there during the war too." "Yes, public relations?" "See you." "Is that so?" "Minato Printing?" "I'm Tajima from Criminal Affairs." "I could tell who you were from this." "Printing coming along nicely?" "Yes." " I'm in no hurry." "When I took a look at some old case files, there were a few that piqued my interest, so I thought I'd print a few off.." "Can't shake this summer cold." "DISCOVERY OF CADAVER / RESULT OF AUTOPSY ETC." "It took 12 days from the date of notification before the body was found - on April 10th." "Around 2 and a half miles downstream from the wasabi plantation, caught up at the far end of a marsh." "The body had decomposed extensively, unrecognizable at a glance, but could be conclusively identified as the laborer from the peach tattoo on his arm." "The autopsy ruled it as murder, and with the likeliest culprit being the girl that the blacksmith's boy had seen, the investigation narrowed to her." "ARREST OF THE CRIMINAL" "OSHIMA" " SHIMODA" "I'm no liar!" "We'll fight for our country." "Farewell!" "Name?" "Hana Otsuka." " Age?" "23." "Date of birth?" "June 2nd, 1917." "Current address?" "No idea." "What?" "I don't know, so I'm saying 'no idea'." "I don't know the name of the city or anything yet" " I see, I see." "You've only been working as a maid in that place for around half a month, haven't you." "Sorry for the silly question." "Can't you just get this over and done with?" "I hate being cooped up in these places." "Look, I..." "I never killed that man!" " Don't fuck around!" "I could say the same thing!" " We have proof!" "What proof?" "Show me!" "Get it out!" "Don't get carried away, Tajima." "Let's just relax for a bit." "We'll go step by step." "It's so hot..." "You don't have a fan or anything?" " Unfortunately not." "'scuse me." "Want a cigarette?" "Looks like cheap crap." "Thanks." "Excuse me." "Something up?" "Hi there!" "You... ..know this girl, right?" "Answer clearly." "Yes, I know her." "The girl that joined you at Amagi... is this person, right?" "Yes." "What is this, some kind of line-up?" "Hunting down the kid and everything..." ""Look upon the direction where my finger points.."" "When you separated at the tunnel, was she talking to a large man?" "She was, wasn't she?" "Yes." " Thanks." "That's all." " Yes, sir." "Wait a second!" "Please!" "Ask that kid more questions!" "Like what?" "Help me, boy!" "Let go of me!" "What are you doing?" "Washroom." "No." "No?" "Not unless you cooperate." "That's entirely up to you." "But that's..." "At the time of the incident, at the Amagi ridge, the only other people there besides the laborer were you and that boy." "Then it was the boy that did it!" "The joint you worked at until just recently, a place by the name Nishihara in Shuzenji, told us you have quite the savage personality." "That you fought with customers, and with your fellow staff members;" "that you waved scissors around and inflicted injuries on others." "Please." "Let me use the washroom." "You ready to talk?" "If you have proof, get it out and show me." "Like there is any." "Alright." "The first piece of evidence." "The footprints in the ice storage." "Ice storage?" "Yes." "Near the pillar below the tunnel." "Storage facility for the ice manufacturing plant." "Think I would know about a place like that?" "By the way..." "What size are your feet?" "22.8 centimeters." "That 22.8 centimeters.." "it's the size of your bare footprint, isn't it." "There were some left in the sawdust inside the ice storage." "I said I don't know about that." "Why'd I have to enter a place like that in the first place?" "The rain worsened after you killed the laborer, so you felt you had no choice but to stay the night there." "I stayed in Yuga!" "Check the Furuike Inn!" " We did." "Then you know I" " You entered the ice storage!" "But it was too cold for you to stay there." "You left there in a hurry, and then stayed at Yuga - that's the truth!" " Lies!" "What did you do about the money?" "Money?" "The fee for the inn." "We checked it out." "At 1pm in the afternoon of June 28th, from the restaurant you were living in at Shuzenji, from the direction of Nishihara, you fled, absolutely penniless, with nothing but the clothes on your back." "You turned your back and fled!" "I wasn't completely penniless.." "I had that much..." ""That much"?" "How much is "that much"?" "1 yen." "I couldn't leave behind my last bill." "Would that be... this, by any chance?" "Maybe." "Look harder!" "Look at it!" "It's just a 1-yen bill!" "Read it." "What's this little scribble?" ""DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GUY, OK?"" "In other words, this is proof that this 1-yen bill was owned by that laborer man." "So?" "What?" "This 1-yen bill, was bestowed upon the laborer man by the owner of the inn that he stayed at on the morning of the incident." "The owner, having a bright idea, left this note on the bill and gave it to the man." "That's right." "This is the bill that you used to pay for the inn at Yuga." "How do you know that?" "I wasn't the only one that paid with a 1-yen " " Don't be stupid!" "Takes one to know" "Late at night and soaking wet, you arrived at Furuike Inn and stayed the night, signing the register." "But the people at the inn thought you suspicious, possibly ridden with some sort of disease, so they took this 1-yen bill that you paid, disinfected it and put it aside!" "I just got it from someone!" " Who?" "When?" "Where" "Calm down!" "Let's have her explain." "Why did you have that man's 1-yen bill?" "Let me go!" "Please!" "Shut up!" "Brutes." "Kenzo?" "I'm just going to visit your uncle's house." "Sure." "Your uncle... he got sick and so he's taking a rest from work." ""While I'm resting up... could you bring some rice porridge?", he said." "When he's back at work, I'll be back to look after you, so.." "I know." "Well.." "see you then." "BARMAID HANA OTSUKA CONFESSES TO MURDER MT." "AMAGI LABORER HOMICIDE CASE SOLVED" ""I, Hana Otsuka... met the victim on the ridge at Amagi... and with the intention of taking money approached him with a proposition for intercourse." "Despite the agreement he refused to pay, and I flew into a rage, slashing at him with the dagger I kept in my sleeve causing him to fall into the valley below where he died instantly." "At that point, I thought he might be carrying money and so stripping him of his belongings," "I happened upon a 1-yen bill so I pocketed it, threw the dagger protruding from the dead body into the river nearby and ran." "The wallet he kept in his money belt" "I........" "Farewell." "Yep." " Excuse me." "..this was when I was still around 26 or 27, the first killer I tackled after I first became a detective." "For a detective, catching your first big one is like... the same as when you're with a woman the first time." "What did you mean by, "complete failure"?" "The murder weapon." "Without first locating the murder weapon, we tried to send her off to prison." "To think that due to lack of solid evidence, Hana Otsuka would be found innocent in court - though she did change her statement once or twice..." "That's what it says." "But the biggest failure was... that we policemen had it in our minds that she was without a doubt the perpetrator." "Meaning...?" "The only thing that was true about her confession was the first part." "In other words... that she recieved the 1-yen bill that was agreed upon as compensation for her sexual services." "Apart from that.." "So, you forcibly...?" "The problem was... the 22.8 centimeter footprints we thought were female in the ice storage." "They fit the size of Hana's feet perfectly, and to top it off she was barefoot too..." "But despite that we were way off." "And, we mindlessly ignored the simplest thing..." "Simplest..?" "That even men have 22.8 size feet." "Men?" "Kids." "A boy around the age of 14 or 15 would be..." "It's in here as well." "The boy that was with Hana at the time, who travelled with her through the Amagi ridge was around 14, as it were." "He was the son of a blacksmith in Shimoda, who ran away from home that morning heading all the way past Yugashima, but turned back from there" "meeting Hana Otsuka on the way." "He parted with Hana at the tunnel, and stated that he descended the mountain ahead of her." "However... as I found out after doing some research afterward.." "when he arrived back at his home in Shimoda was... on the afternoon of the 29th." "The 28th - to be precise, the day of the incident - where was the boy then?" "The reason why we didn't follow up that lead... was that we initially decided a 14-year-old wouldn't have anything to do with an incident like this." "How careless." "I... believe that that boy" "was in that ice storage facility." "But..." " But?" "Why...?" " Why?" "Mr. Onodera." "That...damp, cold... on top of that sawdust in the ice storage..." "I heard an interesting story recently." "All the way from Shinshu, but... apparently those that work with natural fragrances, during the hot summer... take naps in ice storage facilities." "First, you prop a ladder up horizontally... then put a wooden board on top." "They sleep right then and there." "That way, the sawdust doesn't get to you, and they say it's nice and cool." "When I heard that," "I remembered that there was a ladder propped up in the corner of that ice storage as well not to mention two or three boards lying around." "Nice idea." "I should've probed the boy about it back then." "He was definitely up to something..." "If I did, the case might have come to a different solution." "No use crying over spilt milk." "But, in any case - it's already a 40-year-old matter." "Even if I knew who the culprit was now, it's outside the statute of limitations." "The statute for murder is only 15 years." "It's already nearly 3 times that amount, you see." "Tajima." "What do you mean by, "statute of limitations"...?" "That's... something that humans thought up as a way to keep legal order." "In other words - there are no statutes of limitations on the act of the crime itself." "What ended up happening to Hana Otsuka?" "She died." "Pneumonia." "She was found innocent, but in the end, she never breathed the air of the free world." "When she was on her deathbed, she was as beautiful as a bodhisattva." "I see." "There's no statute of limitations on the crime of failure I committed, too." "About this " "I'll deliver it." "You won't have to carry..." "It's fine - it's on my way." "Mr. Onodera." "Just one thing... one thing I can't seem to put my finger on." "The motive." "If the boy that stayed in ice storage was the one that killed the laborer man, why did he kill him?" "It wasn't theft." "For what kind of reason.." "what sort of thing happened for a boy to gruesomely kill a laborer man?" "The question of the motive... is the last riddle I'm unable to solve." "Don't get up." "Thanks again." "Thanks for the coffee." " No problem." "Take care!" "Where is this, kid?" "How far are you going?" "Shimoda." " Shimoda?" "Really?" " Yes." "Perfect." "Will you take me there?" " Yes!" "Hey kid." "You look like someone I know." "Yes." " "Yes"." "Is "yes" all you say?" "I'm Hana." "I'm..." "Kenzo Onodera." "Quite the illustrious name." "Like a golden lion." "I'm Hana - as in, "the flower that bloomed"." "Simple little name." "Let's stop there for a minute.." "Give me a look." "I said, give me a look!" "It's all blackened...just a second..." "Light it for me." "They're yours." "You smoke already?" "Safety measure from farming work." "Oh really!" "So you're also broke." "I'm broke too, you know." "What?" "Keep it." "Why?" "You did a good job of putting up with it over the pass." "Yes." "Is it always like that?" "You're secretly a bit of a lecher, aren't you." "Hold up." "It might come off pretty quickly, but... just until then, OK?" "That's promising." "Oh dear." "You timid little thing." "We're just two penniless baskets." "Shall we sleep outdoors together, like baskets?" "Looks like it'll rain tonight..." "We're in trouble if it does..." "Look for a place we won't get wet, won't you?" "Hey, take off your zouri." "I have, too." "My feet aren't tired at all." "Wearing zouri isn't good for anything." "Mine are...here!" "Well?" "It feels nice and soft." "Yep, nice and soft." "Let's get going."
