KONOSUKE'S MISTRESS IS

THAT SON IS

YUMA

Hakuro and Kaede-san are looking for Akito.

You're very important to me as well.

My brother had something more valuable in mind.

If we crush the Yagami family one by one,

we'll get to the culprit.

And even your mother, who was dead, just wanted money.

You can no longer lay a hand on Yasuharu.

My mother was killed by her husband Konosuke's mistress.

The mistress at that time was Sayo.

And the child born to Sayo and Konosuke

is Yuma.

- Brother-in-law, let's go. - Ah, you know something, don't you?

About Teiko-san.

- What about my mother? - Your mother,

Teiko-san, was also killed.

What are you talking about? It's not possi...

It's not possible?

That's totally possible in this house.

I'm sure you're aware of that.

So you're saying my mother was killed by someone from the Yagami?

What else is there?

What about you, Shoko?

The people in this house would never leave something like that behind.

You're just saying random guesses, aren't you?

Hakuro-san,

didn't you actually think so too?

That was no accident.

Everyone in the Yagami knew that.

Ah, someone said they did it.

Even Akito, the smart one,

must have thought so.

He said his mother was murdered.

Akito?

As proof of that, Akito was cryptically asking

where everyone was the night Teiko-san was killed,

you know, checking alibis.

Checking alibis...

That reminds me, that time...

What were you doing the day Mom died?

I was staying overnight in a lab at the university.

Why?

If either one of us

had gone to Koizumi's house with her,

none of this would have happened.

Don't tell me, did Akito

suspect me too at that time?

You've been pretty quiet for a while now.

Looks like you heard about Teiko-san from Akito.

No, I didn't.

Why did Aunt Shoko

bother to ask us about mother-in-law?

Because I want you to find the person who killed Teiko-san.

What the hell?

If brother-in-law uncovers the truth

and one of the Yagami family members is arrested,

that means there will be fewer people left to inherit, right?

You're a clever girl, aren't you?

She calls herself Akito's wife.

Does Aunt Shoko think that Yuma-san

and Sayo-san are the culprits?

Yes, those two killed my mother,

and they did it to Teiko-san too.

If we can expose the crime,

we can crush Yuma and Sayo completely.

No, I think it might actually be you.

You're starting to sound like me.

Yes, that's right... Cautiousness and suspicion...

Without it, there is no way you can fight the Yagami.

Make sure you avenge Teiko-san,

Hakuro-san.

Are you sure, brother-in-law? It's your car.

I'll take a taxi home and come back tomorrow.

I need a drink to keep me going.

What did you hear from Akito?

When Shoko-san tried to talk about my mother,

you pulled my hand and tried to get out of the way.

You knew that my mother might have been murdered,

and you didn't want me to hear about it.

What did you hear from Akito? Tell me.

As Akito looked at the picture of Koizumi's house, this is what he said.

It wasn't an accident.

Eh?

I think my mom was murdered.

No way...

But the house was all locked up when they

found mother-in-law's body, wasn't it?

Well, that's easy enough to do if the killer had a duplicate key,

and after they killed Mom,

all they had to do was walk out and lock the front door. - But...

Mom was a cautious person,

so she always kept the doors locked.

And yet, when the body was found,

they never covered it.

I think you're overthinking this.

Of course, my mother can be careless sometimes.

That night, she accidentally forgot to lock her door,

accidentally slipped in the bathroom,

accidentally hit her head,

and accidentally drowned in the tub.

Maybe that's really all there is to it.

But...

I think they killed my mother.

At that time, the Yagami family was in the midst of an inheritance dispute.

Inheritance?

When my grandfather died, he left me a will.

It was written that the entire inheritance was to be passed on to me.

Eh?

The timing of this inheritance is an opportunity.

Because the culprit might move again.

So Akito was looking for mother's murderer.

Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

It's also important information in investigating Akito's disappearance.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because Akito told me not to tell brother-in-law.

I see.

I guess that means he counted me as one of his suspects.

No, of course he didn't.

I think it was because he thought brother-in-law would suffer

if he knew that mother-in-law might have been killed.

Isn't that what brothers are for, to hold such things together?

Turns out, he didn't think of me as his brother after all.

What were you doing the day Mom died?

I'm sorry, I guess it's no use getting angry with you.

Anyway, if Akito

was looking for my mother's murderer,

then things are looking different.

Akito may have realized who killed our mother and went to see them.

Yes, and maybe he got into some kind of trouble and decided to disappear.

If that's the case, then the culprit in Akito's disappearance

and mother-in-law's murder are the same.

But I wonder if they really killed my mother.

By that time, Konosuke had already finalized his will,

so there was no need to kill her then.

I'm still curious about

what Uncle Makio said.

You know, something that's more valuable than the three billion inheritance.

Perhaps mother-in-law

knew what that something valuable was.

Maybe that's why she was targeted.

If that's the case, the most important key is...

Knowing what it is that's more valuable.

That would mean Uncle Makio, wouldn't it?

EPISODE 6

"A Brother's Promise"

- I don't believe that she was killed. - It's not yet decided, though.

It's getting kind of terrifying, isn't it?

I'm sorry, Kageyama-kun, that you had to hear such a disturbing story.

No, now that you've told me so much, I'd be more curious if you didn't tell me the whole story.

You seem to like this kind of thing more than I thought.

I'm sorry, that was imprudent, wasn't it?

From now on I'm going to find out about my mother's death 16 years ago.

Back then, I kept my distance from the Yagami family,

tried to stay out of my mother's death as much as possible,

so there was rather too much I didn't know.

It's hard, isn't it? Digging up sad things...

It's unusual for you to say such kind words.

Are you asking Kaede-san to spend some time with you?

Eh, why?

I feel like I'm being compared with her lately.

No, not really.

Yagami Kaede

Hello?

Brother-in-law, please don't be surprised.

What is it, all of a sudden?

Uncle Makio has gone missing.

Eh?

He seems to have left the hospital on his own,

leaving a note saying he was leaving.

I'm discharging myself

Are they sure about that? I think someone might have taken him.

That's what I thought, too.

The hospital staff checked the security cameras

and found Uncle Makio walking out of the front door early this morning.

Why did he leave the hospital?

I don't know.

Maybe he ran because he thought he'd be killed this time when he woke up,

or maybe he went looking for something more valuable, something he wanted.

Anyway, I'm going to the Yagami's today

to pick up my mother's belongings.

There might be some clues that will lead us to the case.

Please do it.

Eh? You're not coming?

Eh? Do you want me to come?

Well... We've usually been together in these situations.
