"This drama is based on a hypothesis." "45 years ago, on December 10, 1968," "a man disguised as a police officer carried out a heist that would leave a mark in the crime history of the Showa era." "This is Nihon Shintaku Bank's car, right?" "We got an emergency call from Sugamo Police Station, alerting us the branch manager's residence was blown up by dynamite." "We were warned dynamite has been planted in this vehicle." "Please allow me to check the car." "We found nothing when we checked inside yesterday." "I'll check to see if there's anything on the exterior." "I found it!" "It's dangerous." "Get away from the car before it explodes!" "Who is good, who is evil?" "We would soon find out that we, ourselves, had to make that judgment individually." "Hey, you." "The 300 million yen!" "To this day, the 300-million yen robbery remains unsolved." "October 8, 2013 Yokohama" "Where is she?" "B-back room." "You sure did a number on her." "So what's the reason?" "She cheat on you or somethin'?" "Did you guys do it before you killed her?" "Where's the rubber?" "I didn't use it." "That ain't good." "They can find you through DNA analysis." "Do something, please!" "Help me!" "Now, now, now..." "By the way... is this the first time you killed someone?" "Anyway, leave the rest to me." "Where's the cash?" "You must keep at least 5 million or so at your mistress' pad too, huh?" "Slush fund." "What..." "After making me do all this?" "You weren't expecting me to do it for free, were you?" "From the condition of livor mortis and rigor mortis, she's been dead 6 to 10 hours." "Which makes the estimated time of death between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am last night." "Kanagawa Police" "Thank you." "But what brings the Chief, himself, to the scene?" "Just business." " Today there's an important person..." " Excuse me." "Is this the murder scene?" "Step away." "Please step away." "You're Seike-san, right?" "Are you..." "First Investigation Division Chief Ushii?" "Yes." "It's okay, let her in." "This is Seike-san, assistant inspector who's been assigned to us from the National Police Agency." "I beg your pardon!" "A murder scene right off the bat must be tough for a lady." "Come in." "She was beaten to death." "Seeing that the room was ransacked, there's a good possibility the crime was committed by a robber." "However, the victim was apparently killed immediately after sex." "Sexual intercourse?" "Uh... who was she doing it with?" ""Doing it with"...?" "She was probably raped by the robber." "Robbery-murder." "Robbery, murder by beating..." "I don't think you can presume that." "There are 96 cases of murder, including robbery-murder, that occurred within the prefecture in the past 10 years." "Of those, 23 victims were raped." "One of those victims was beaten to death, however, that murderer is currently serving time in prison." "Consequently, I don't think we can rule out the possibility that the crime was motivated by other factors such as grudge, passion, or money trouble." "I'm sorry." "I only have the past 10 years' investigation data committed to memory." "I will memorize the older cases in the future." "Not a problem at all." "What you've memorized so far will be of great help to us." "Right?" " Chief." " Oh, Shima-kun." "Assistant Inspector Seike." "Assistant Inspector?" "I'm Shima." "I'm Seike Mashiro." "So who's the victim?" "Akamatsu Rina, 22." "She was a hostess at Gloria in Sakuragicho." "Gloria?" "Gloria is an exclusive club frequented by politicians and higher-ups." "Politicians..." "This was found on the floor." " Goda Bungo!" " Oh, boy." "Goda Bungo?" "Are you serious?" "He's the ruling party member and representative of the Prefectural Assembly." "This is gonna be a major pain in the rear." "Mr. Goda's the closest man to the Prefectural Governor." "Prefectural Governor..." "We're done here." "You can go in now." "Thank you." "Did something happen in here?" "Excuse me, but are you a resident here?" "No, but I have business with the gal who lives here." "'Scuse me." "I'm sorry, but only authorized personnel are allowed." "I said 'scuse me." "I'm... the person you see here." "Prefectural Police Second Investigation Division." "The division that investigates election violations and white collar crimes." "Cor~rect!" "So where's Rina-chan?" "Excuse us." "Coming through." "That's her." "She was murdered last night." "Acchapaa~!" "(nonsensical word of shock and surprise)" "Is that right..." "Rina-chan's dead, huh?" "If Assemblyman Goda is, in fact, involved..." "Governor Sawatari could possibly come into the picture." "A robbery, huh?" "Kurokouchi-kun." "We don't know that for sure yet." " What about fingerprints?" " Crime lab's checking them out." "Oh." "Besides, murder isn't under Second Division." "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey." "I sure hope the safe is okay." "What's this safe he's talking about?" "Oh, look where I found the safe." "Kurokouchi-kun, how did you know there was a safe here?" "Isn't this unlocked?" "It's unlocked." "Accha~!" "The suspect fled with the dough..." "There must've been at least 5 million!" "Do you mind telling us what this is about?" "It's what's commonly referred to as politician's slush fund." "After all, Rina-chan was Goda Sensei's mistress, you know." "So you came looking for that money." "Yes, that's cor~rect." "Anyway, there's no doubt now that a robber did this." "Right?" "Excuse me, but isn't it also possible the politician called Goda-san committed the crime?" "Well, actually, last night..." "was that around midnight?" "I barged in here and was shaking up Goda Sensei about the money." "Was Mr. Goda here at that time?" "He sure was." "I bet he was doing it with Rina-chan." "Which means..." "But when I took Goda Sensei out," "Rina-chan was still alive and well." "After that, I was with Goda Sensei until morning..." "That makes it impossible for him to commit the crime." "Oh, did I just give Goda Sensei an alibi?" "Then who" "killed Rina-chan?" "We will now begin the autopsy." "Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters Scientific Crime Laboratory" "Let's see... whose DNA are we going to find?" "For the investigation conference," "Sakuragicho Hostess Murder Case Investigation Headquarters being that a politician is involved, we decided to enlist the cooperation of the Second Division." "We're quite busy right now with the gubernatorial election and all..." "Chief." "One person's dead, you know." "Now then..." "The victim, Akamatsu Rina-san, was beaten repeatedly with bare hands, and it's been determined she died of hemorrhagic shock due to organ injuries." "The room was turned inside out and the contents of the hidden safe were missing." "Also, from our preliminary investigation, we found out last night's data from the condo's surveillance camera had been erased by someone." "Next, crime lab." "Hardly any fingerprints were left at the scene." "However, we found two footprints believed to be left by men." "Incidentally, these footprints..." "I'll take it from here." "From the testimony by Second Division's Detective Kurokouchi who met with Mr. Goda last night, we believe one of those footprints belongs to Mr. Goda, and the other, to Kurokouchi-kun, himself." "Unfortunately, they won't provide any leads." "In addition, the victim was killed immediately after sex." "The DNA is currently being analyzed." "However, again from Detective Kurokouchi's testimony, we presume her partner was Mr. Goda." "Furthermore, last night's alibi of Mr. Goda has been verified, for some reason again, by Detective Kurokouchi." "But still, just to be sure, we should hear Mr. Goda's side of the story." "Kurokouchi, where is Mr. Goda now?" "He went home normally this morning." "Normally...?" "Assemblyman Goda hasn't been heard from all morning." "Not "onshin futsuu" (haven't been heard from) but he really went home futsuu ni (normally)." " Hey!" " Now, now." "With all that in mind, investigate the murder case of Akamatsu Rina as a robbery." "For now anyway, I'd like Team Hotei to search for Mr. Goda." "He does have an alibi, but just to be sure." "I'm not trustworthy, eh?" "Seike-kun, do you have a minute?" "It only shows Goda's DNA..." "Me and Kurokouchi-san?" "We're forming an interdivisional pair?" "Mr. Goda may have an alibi for this murder." "Nevertheless, he's still definitely a person of interest." "Furthermore, we're suspecting that" "Kurokouchi, himself, is in the midst of the scandal." "So, under the pretense forming a pair, we want you to keep a secret surveillance on him." "Kurokouchi is the black sheep of the Prefectural Police." "The Second Division where he's at is a special division." "If you can get a hold of a politician's weakness, you can gain enormous wealth and power." "And no one, but no one, holds more scandals of those in power than him." "Of course, Kurokouchi-kun definitely knows something about this murder case too." "Um..." "Do you have a question?" "Why do you have such a scary look on your face?" "Seike-san..." "Now, now." "Then I'm going to entrust Detective Kurokouchi to you." "So that's the story." "I could've looked for Goda Sensei by myself." "By the way, what were you doing at a luxurious hotel like this?" "I've been so busy I spent the night here." "Let's go look." "For Goda Sensei." "This car looks expensive." "Oh, this?" "Someone gave it to me." "Er... who did you get it from?" "Your father was a non-career officer, right?" "Do you know my father?" "In this line of work, information is the most important thing." "Um..." "Do you also know where Goda-san is?" "Do you, by any chance, know who the murderer is too?" "I'm making a quick side trip." "Thank you, as always." "Remember, next one's the last." "Statute of limitations for bribery is 5 years." "It sure flew by, didn't it?" " Thank you as always." " Thanks in advance." "Um... aren't we going to look for Goda-san?" "Oh, Seike-san." "Are you interested in politics?" "No, I'm not." "That's not a good thing being that you're looking for Goda Sensei." "The prefecture's gubernatorial race is coming up soon, isn't it?" "That's why our Second Division's running around like crazy collecting tips on election violations." "The gubernatorial race is important." "It determines the head of the Prefectural Police." "Isn't the head of Prefectural Police the Headquarters Chief?" "Officially, yes." "You know, the Prefectural Governor has control over the Prefectural Police." "He even controls the budget." "In other words, the Prefectural Police belongs to the Prefectural Governor." "It's common knowledge at the Prefectural Police." "Is this Governor called Sawatari-san the likely winner of the election?" "Unless he gets into some kind of trouble." "Goda-san did?" "We will have to find him immediately then." "Goda's a person of interest?" "Oh?" "You're friends but you didn't know?" "The truth is, a hostess was murdered last night." "She was beaten violently." "And believe it or not, she was Goda Sensei's mistress." "Did Goda really do it?" "I have no idea..." "By the way, did Governor Sawatari decide to run for a third term?" "Rumor has it that he has an overwhelming lead." "But rumor also has it that he may be facing a popular rival candidate in a member of the House of Representatives by the name of Tamiya Hiroshi." "If Goda Sensei turns out to be the murderer at a critical time like this," "Governor Sawatari would be in a terrible plight, wouldn't he?" "Is he still going to run for governor?" "What..." "Duly received for this month." "Call me as soon as you find Goda." "You'll be the first to know~." "The content of that box is what's known as a bribe, isn't it?" "No, they're persimmons." "I counted 3 million yen." "Uh-oh~" "You looked?" "Kurokouchi-san, I'm turning you in for bribery." "I suggest you don't." "Do you think a politician's going to honestly admit he committed bribery?" "Hello, this is the Kanagawa Prefectural Police." " Hello." " Wait, wait, wait!" "I'll tell you who killed Akamatsu Rina, so let's call it even." "Okay?" "Okay?" "Tell me who killed her." "Okay~." "According to the owner of Gloria, Akamatsu Rina was seeing another man besides Mr. Goda." "Furthermore, Mr. Goda apparently knew about that." "Also, according to his wife's testimony," "Mr. Goda was involved the so-called domestic violence." "Akamatsu Rina was beaten to death, right?" "Is this where the murderer's at?" "That's right." "Um..." "Is Goda-san's alibi for last night real?" "What?" "Are you doubting me?" "Sensei, it appears I'm getting suspected too." "Goda-san..." "Goda-san's the murderer after all?" "That's cor~rect." "What is the motive?" "Seems he simply got pissed at Rina-chan for cheating on him and ended up killing her." "Not that." "I meant your motive for holding Goda-san captive." "Now, now..." "Before you call it in, I'll explain the situation." "Don't you rather enjoy mystery-like speculating?" "Seike-san." "This is neither a mystery nor speculating, but just holding someone captive." "Last night, I was called by Goda Sensei." "Asking for my help because he ended up killing his mistress." "Why did he call you?" "That's, you know, Second Division." "I can easily turn into a bodyguard if that's what it takes to probe a politician's slush fund." "Hardly any fingerprints were left at the scene." "Kurokouchi-san, you covered up Goda-san's evidence, didn't you?" "Again, cor~rect." "Actually, I was hesitant at first." "But, how do I say..." "I had a brainstorm." "This was a perfect chance to get something on him." "What are you planning to do with that?" "I don't know." "I'm reporting to Headquarters about Goda-san." "All right, I'll tell you everything." "8 years ago in this prefecture, three members of a family were murdered." "Incidentally, it's still unsolved." "An unsolved case?" "I suspect the perpetrator of that unsolved case is..." "Prefectural Governor Sawatari Kazunari." "Sawatari-san?" "And, the one who holds the key to that case is" "Goda Sensei." "Goda Sensei and Hashimoto Sensei, who I was meeting with earlier, were Governor Sawatari's secretaries until 8 years ago." "Here." " Funeral?" " Yes." "Of the three members of the family who were murdered 8 years ago." "The Touyama Family." "All three members of the family murdered..." "October 7, 2005." "The victims were web designer, Touyama Soji, 38, his wife, and his 18-year old daughter." "The weapon was a handgun." "All three were shot once in the head." "In spite of the fact that it was in a quiet residential area, no suspicious individuals were seen, no one heard the gunshots." "From the fact that nothing appeared to be stolen, and no motive for the murder could be find, it was thought to be a random murder, investigation came to a standstill." "To this day, it remains unsolved." "For the third time, cor~rect." "Now, take a good look over here." "Touyama Soji, the web designer who was killed, was in charge of creating Sawatari's home page at that time." "The problem, however, was that Touyama was a peeper." "Not the kind that takes a peek at a girl's panties." "Touyama's specialty was snooping through confidential company e-mails." "Upon investigating, I found he was nabbed a few times for peeping." "Which means Touyama Soji-san took a peak at Sawatari-san's important data." "For the fourth time, cor~rect." "Well, I guess he must've seen something he shouldn't have." "Regarding Governor Sawatari." "And this... is that." "This high school girl?" "She was also murdered 8 years ago." "Kanemoto Mami-san, 16." "April 14, 2005." "Her naked body found abandoned at a waste disposal facility in Minami Ebina City." "Cause of death, strangulation." "This, too, is an unsolved case." "For the fifth time, cor~rect." "You're not a Todai grad for nothing." "So the information I managed to get was a first-hand account that two days before this Kanemoto Mami-san was found dead, she was at a hotel with a certain big-name politician." "That politician was Sawatari-san?" "If my suspicion is right," "Goda Sensei and Hashimoto Sensei, who were Sawatari's secretary at the time, are deeply involved in these two murder cases that occurred 8 years ago." "In other words, Kurokouchi-san, by covering up Goda-san's crime, you're trying to find the truth about the two unsolved cases from Goda-san." "Is that right?" "Well, it's too bad Rina-chan was beaten to death by Goda Sensei, but rather than wrapping up one case, it's a better deal to wrap up all three at once." "Sawatari's already killed 4 people in the past." "Actually, that's not all." "Understand?" "You don't understand, do you?" "I realized this case should be investigated by the entire Prefectural Police." "That's why I say you don't understand." "Didn't I tell you?" "That the Governor and the" "Prefectural Police have a vertical relationship." "What does that mean?" "That we may be on the same side officially, but an enemy may have snuck in amongst us." "Hadn't you heard something like that from your father?" "No I hadn't." "As I recall, he passed away 10 years ago, right?" "Yes." "How did he pass away?" " That's..." " Never mind." "In any case, under normal circumstances, there's not a single soul who can" " arrest the incumbent governor." " But that goes for you too..." "That's why!" "That's what Goda Sensei's for." "I'm gonna have him confess all and use that information to drag Sawatari down from the Governor's chair." "Then, there's nothing to stop me from arresting him, right?" "Is that what you aim to do?" "If you got that, trust me and keep quiet for a little while." "Do you expect me to believe someone who accepts bribes from politicians?" "Then verify it yourself." "Come in." " Sawatari-san." " I heard." "What are we going to do with Goda-san?" "Please give us an explanation." "Calm down." "It's already been decided." "Anyway, the order came from the top." "We have to comply." "Can you at least tell us why...?" "Excuse me... what happened to the investigation meeting?" "It's currently under discussion." " Under discussion?" " The truth is, after the investigation during the day, the First Division decided Mr. Goda was suspicious, but it appears that's not acceptable." "Not acceptable?" "Anyway, why don't we believe Detective Kurokouchi's testimony for now, and remove Mr. Goda from the target of our investigation and narrow down our investigation to" "Akamatsu Rina's other partner who recently surfaced?" " You're absolutely right." " But Chief!" "Now, now." "That's what we decided." "Starting tomorrow, please follow the course of action and investigate Akamatsu Rina-san's personal relationship." "We may be on the same side officially, but an enemy may have snuck in amongst us." "I guess we'll just have to follow the new course of action." "Say, Seike-san." "Would you like to go out to dinner with me after this?" "I'm sorry." "If you'll excuse me for today." "Please hurry up and tell me everything you know." "Sen-sei." "I gave you 5 million, didn't I!" "Maybe I'll just arrest you for murdering Rina-chan." "Excuse me~." "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "Um..." "Would there be some information here that didn't get recorded in the investigation file?" "There is." "But this isn't my specialty, you know." "Touyama-san and his family were all shot once in the head." "If I remember, according to analysis of the fired bullets, the firearm that was used in the murder was a 22-caliber handgun." "That handgun hasn't been found yet." "So, what do you think about Kurokouchi?" "22-caliber is pretty small, isn't it?" "It doesn't have much capacity to kill, but if you shoot one in the head, the bullet bounces around the brain like a ping pong ball and it will kill without fail." "Without fail..." "I understand no one heard gunshots." "Do you think a suppressor was used?" "To make the gunshot quieter..." "Si - len - cer." "Did a random killer" " use such a specialized equipment?" " It happens once in a while." "We analyzed it as the work of a professional, but for some reason, the higher-ups ignored it." "The higher-ups in the police organization passed it off as a random killer." "Anything beyond that is... shhh." "I can see your panties." "I'm showing them to you!" "You don't really... look like that, do you?" "Is a car coming from the left side?" "Look carefully now, and look right one more time, and then cross the road." "Everyone, did you know?" "Governor Sawatari was a police officer before he became the governor." "8 years ago, you successfully made the switch to politics, right?" "'Scuse me, 'scuse me." "'Scuse me~." "I'm Kurokouchi from the Prefectural Police, Second Division." "You're the one who's been observing me from afar all the time." "Actually, I wanted to ask you directly if you're planning to seek a third term." "That's why I'm here." "You all want to know too, don't you?" "Wah~ Look at this popularity." "Looks like you'd have no problem even if a rival candidate appears." "By the way, I... heard a shocking story about Governor Sawatari from Goda Sensei." "Now then, no matter what trouble may arise, please run in the gubernatorial race." "I wish you good luck." "'Scuse me~." "Hehe~ 'Scuse me." "It's a present." "From that oji-san." "Thank you." "What were you doing up there?" "I don't know~." "To Sawatari-san?" "That's right." "I told him, "I heard everything from Goda Sensei,"" "handed these over to him." "I haven't said anything." "What?" "Then why don't you go visit the Governor and see for yourself?" "I imagine he's looking for you frantically right about now." "Take a good look here." "There are only three options left for you, Sensei." "One is to go see Governor Sawatari and get killed." "The other is to go to jail as the criminal who murdered Rina-chan." "And the third?" "I'll let you escape abroad." "Excuse me, but I couldn't quite hear the third one..." "So please tell me, won't you?" "You know, don't you?" "All the details of what he did 8 years ago." "The minute you lent your hand to Governor Sawatari, it was all over." "Goda Sensei's life, that is." "For the worse." "Yes." "Yes." "Excuse me~." "Chief Ushii wants to know where we are..." "What?" "He wants us to come back to Headquarters?" "Akamatsu Rina-san's other partner was identified." "Oh..." "I see." "I'm planning to tell him that" "Goda-san's the perpetrator so there's no sense in looking for the other partner." "Yeah, do that." "But... don't tell him Goda Sensei's here." "We're at the grand finale now." "All right." "Sensei." "It looks like time's up." "Unfortunately, it appears Akamatsu Rina's other partner was Detective Kurokouchi." "Seike, where's Kurokouchi right now?" "Say it!" "Kurokouchi-san is..." "Kurokouchi!" "Goda-san..." "Go look for Kurokouchi!" "Contact Headquarters!" "That bastard." "Oh, no~" "I got found out?" "Hotei-san...!" "Did you kill Goda-san?" "Why would I do that?" "I was trying to get a statement from him, wasn't I?" "Not that I didn't get it." "This." "Although it turned out to be his last testament now." "Would you like to read it?" "I, Goda Bungo, hereby... report a crime that occurred 8 years ago." "Hashimoto and I, who were Sawatari's secretaries at the time, knew that Sawatari accidentally killed a young girl while engaging in sex." "Furthermore, 6 months later, he hired someone and had the web designer Touyama-shi, who found out his secret, along with his family, killed." "It's an extremely gallant last testament." "Um... what does this indicate?" "Probably the whereabouts of the treasure, where the evidence to drag down Sawatari from the governor's chair is hidden." "The evidence?" "Shall we go treasure hunting?" "Sawatari's a key figure for you too, Seike-san." "I'll tell you why next time." "So Goda-san committed suicide." "Oh... there's one thing that's been bothering me." "What a splendid hidden vacation home." "How I envy Goda Sensei." "Oh, he's dead already." "The gate is locked." "Squat down for a minute." "Just do it." "Put your hands on the ground." "Oh, my~" "He even conscientiously installed a surveillance monitor." "Where does it say the treasure's hidden?" "I don't suppose it's hidden in a place that's easy to find, like the family altar." "It says the third pillar from the entrance." "What kind of evidence do you think is hidden there?" "1 2" "3..." "Here." "Kurokouchi-san... that's destruction of property." "Take care of the written apology for me." "Treasure discovered." "22-caliber handgun and a silencer." "So the evidence was the weapon that was used to murder Touyama-san and his family?" "Spot on cor~rect." "I knew Goda Sensei had it." "When push comes to shove, a piece of evidence can be used as insurance to protect himself from Sawatari." "Why would someone like that kill himself?" "I can't wait to see whose fingerprints are on here." "I wonder if it has Sawatari's fingerprints." "A professional actually did the killing, right?" "What kind of a guy do you think did it?" "Someone like Yakuza-san, or Mafia-san..." "Whoa~ You're close." "One more try." "Police officer." "Police officer?" "I imagine your father knew a whole lot more about it." "Are you sure you didn't hear anything?" "For example, the incident that occurred in 1968..." "Ah, shit." " Seven Gods of Fortune." " Not that." "The shotgun." "How did they find out we were here?" "Huh, why?" "If we get shot by one of those, we'll be blown up into pieces." "What the hell...?" "At the count of 1, 2, 3, I'll jump out, so get outta here when they start shooting at me." "Rather than me surviving, it'll be better for society for a career bureaucrat like you to survive." "All right." "That's where you're supposed to disagree." "I'm over here." "Accha~" "Shima-san..." "Which means this one too..." "Deputy Chief Goto..." "See?" "Don't you think I'm straighter than you thought?" "Well, now that I got a hold of the evidence..." "Damn!" "I put my own fingerprints over the other fingerprints." "Oh, well." "I'll figure something out later." "Anyway, I got the evidence." "Excuse me~" "What are you going to do with the bodies?" "Let's think about that later." "That would be impossible." "Assistant Inspector Seike peeing in her pants." "Got it~." "Come on, let's go." "To slay the ogres, with rice cakes in hand." "(* reference to Momotaro, Japanese folk tale)" "Then tomorrow..." "There's a monthly meeting tomorrow morning at 9:00." "Good evening." "I'm alive~." "Can you leave us alone for a while?" "Before Goda Sensei killed himself, he told me everything." "Wait..." "Or was he killed under the disguise of suicide?" "That's Goda Sensei's last testament that he wrote with all his might." "He wrote down everything you did 8 years ago." "Is this authentic?" "Yes, although that's a copy." "Then... what about this?" "The handgun that proves you shot the Touyama Family to death 8 years ago." "This, too, was given to me by Goda Sensei." "We've got two whole pieces of evidence now." "Are you still going to run in the gubernatorial election?" "I'm telling you, you're finished." "You've done other bad things too, haven't you?" "Please 'fess up when you get arrested." " What do you know about me?" " Everything." "I've been watching you for a lo~ng time." "Please think about it re~al hard." "Oh, that's right." "45 years ago, in 1968," "the 300-million yen robbery that occurred in Fuchu." "Who was the perpetrator?" "What are you talking about?" "It's unsolved, isn't it?" "Oh... or did the police make it unsolved?" "How much is that money worth now?" "How much do you think it's worth?" "I'm asking you." "Um... what about the 300-million yen robbery?" "Seike-san, I think you, especially, need to know about the 300-million yen robbery." "All kinds of things about it." "You need to know." "In order to investigate the unsolved case committed by Governor Sawatari 8 years ago?" "That's why you kept Mr. Goda at the hotel?" "Yes, sir!" "That's absolutely right!" "Cut out the bullshit!" "Didn't Goda commit suicide because he was distressed by your interrogation..." "I questioned him in a gentlemanly manner." "He went and killed himself on his own." "While investigating," "I came across information on the 2 cases of murder Sawatari committed 8 years ago, so I was just asking Goda Sensei about them." "Then what about your relationship with Akamatsu Rina!" "I just approached her to investigate Goda Sensei's slush fund." "I guess I inadvertently dug up a major unsolved case." "What do you think, Chief Kakizaki?" "We're talking about the Prefectural Governor here..." "Then... what if he's no longer the Governor?" "Governor Sawatari withdrew from the gubernatorial election!" "Prefectural Governor Sawatari, in a sudden turnaround, announced that he was withdrawing his name as an electoral candidate." "Since Sawatari's going to be a part of the general public, we can nab him without reservation, right?" "Sawatari Kazunari-san." "Please come with us to the Station in regards to the 8-year old murder case of the Touyama Family, along with the murder and corpse abandonment of Kanemoto Mami." "May I make one phone call?" "Of course, please go ahead." "Please." "This is strictly my speculation, but may I go on?" "Go ahead." "You said you approached Akamatsu Rina-san in order to investigate Goda-san's slush fund." "Sure did." "You also said, in the course of that investigation, you came across information relative to Sawatari-san's crime." "Sure did." "I think the order's all backwards." "Weren't you pursuing Sawatari-san's past crime to begin with?" "You approached his close aide, Goda-san, to get the evidence." "Furthermore, you intentionally stole Akamatsu Rina-san, who was his mistress, in order to use his weakness against him." "Didn't you set it up so Goda-san would fly into a jealous rage and kill her?" "Which means?" "Which means everything, like the murder of Akamatsu Rina-san," "Goda-san's suicide, and" "Sawatari-san's arrest, were planned by you from the beginning." "Everyone fell into the trap that you set up." "Cor~rect ..... ... is what I'd like to say, but" "I never thought Goda would go so far as to kill Rina-chan." "Truth is, I was only going to blackmail him by catching him in the act of raising his hand." "Is it proper for a police officer to be do something like that?" "You're so straight." "Then let me ask you something." "The two unsolved cases from 8 years ago." "Do you think they could've been resolved by any other way besides mine?" "Although there's still one person who hasn't given up." "Sawatari's a key figure for you too, Seike-san." "Anyway, for the time being, case closed." "Um... what did you mean when you said" "Sawatari-san's a key figure for me too?" "Basically, we're both aiming for the same destination." "Destination?" "Seike-san, I think you, especially, need to know about the 300-million yen robbery." "The 300-million yen robbery." "Is that something that's going the break the law again?" "You'll have to judge for yourself as to who's good and who's evil." "Whether you'll turn me in, or let me slide..." "Think re~al carefully." "Can police officers get away with shooting someone to death?" "Huh?" "Did I shoot someone to death?" "The one who killed Akamatsu Rina was really Goda, right?" "By the same token, did Goda really commit suicide?" "Excuse me~" "It's about Shima-san and Deputy Chief Goto." "Oh, apparently, Shima-chan turned in a leave request this morning." "Oh, my back." "How did you hide it?"
