Inspector General Ichijo (監察の一条さん)

An explosion has occurred at a matchmaking party venue in Tokyo.

It's been about 15 minutes since the incident,

and now rescue teams and firefighters have arrived...

Help... Please help me!

Please wait!

I'm sorry! Please let me go!

Everyone... I am truly sorry!

The groom called

and urgently told me that he could not come...

We have to cancel the wedding today.

What are you talking about!?

- Maybe he ran away... - Did he run away?

Oh, it's not that he ran away, but...

he called me and said he couldn't come today...

For the time being,

we have agreed to continue our relationship.

Anyway!

I am truly sorry for taking the time

out of your busy schedule to come here today.

later

I also called around his parents' house and his junior and senior high classmates,

but I couldn't find anyone who had any contact with Officer Miyoshi.

It's already been 5 days since Miyoshi went missing with a gun in his possession.

We need to take him into custody today.

Oh... Thanks.

And for you, Hosoda, a key chain.

Ah... You didn't have to.

I expected this,

Mr. Shiina.

- You went to Hawaii? - I did.

I took it for the honeymoon, so I was all alone.

Ah... alone.

I didn't want to pay the cancellation fee.

For you, Mr. Shiina... Kona coffee.

Thanks.

Well, once you get immersed in the investigation, all the bad stuff will just fly away.

Yeah.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Shiina.

Your greatness has been recognized again for your investigation of the Chofu murders.

Well, it's a job title. It's just more work.

So keep up the good work, partner.

Yes, it would be my pleasure.

- Yuki, a word. - Ah, yes, sir.

Chief, I also brought you a souvenir.

Thank you very much.

Investigation Division 1 Chief

TETSUYA MANAKA

I'm sorry I wasted your time with the reception speech.

Oh... that's okay.

- Anyway, your transfer has been finalized. - What?

- It's Police Affairs. - Police Affairs?

You submitted a transfer request, right? You said you wanted to be in management.

That's because I'm getting married...

I'm not getting married anymore...

Well, they seem to have taken that into consideration.

Which department is it?

Accounting? HR?

Internal affairs...

Inspector Yuki.

How much do you know about the work of Internal Affairs?

Internal affairs are the "police of the police".

This department is mainly responsible for monitoring police officers

who are suspected of illegal or unlawful activities by police officers in light of regulations

such as the MPD Inspection and the Personnel Service Regulations, and corroborating all the facts.

Okay, okay, okay. That's enough.

As expected of the career bureaucrat at the top of the police academy.

It seems the rumor that you are the most studious person in Investigations is true.

Thank you.

Oh, Mrs. Matsuoka. We're going out for a bit.

Where?

We need to discuss with Division 1 about the policies...

This is about the missing Officer Miyoshi.

We're getting quite impatient with the lack of info.

Okay. Let me introduce her.

Inspector Maria Yuki was transferred from the Division 1.

- Ah, that one. - That one?

No, uh...

It was extremely gossiped about...

Yes.

As expected of inspectors...

They already knew about the wedding being canceled...

TSUBASA SASATSUKA

This is Mr. Suwa and Sasatsuka from our department.

At a glance, they look hard to get along with. Well, actually, they do.

Yes...

Right now we are working on a case involving a cop who went missing five days ago.

That was what Division 1 was working on too...

Shall I tag along?

You'll be on a different team.

- Go inside first. Just around the corner. - Yes, Ma'am.

Please excuse me.

Okay...

Cacao gently heals emotional scars.

Just for you.

- Just for you. - Thanks...

I wonder why he didn't come to the wedding, your boyfriend.

What?

- How long you two been together? - Huh?

What?

What does he do for a living?

What?

Is he older or younger than you?

What's with this guy speaking bluntly?

That must have been tough for you, Maria-chan.

Maria-chan!? What? Why'd he attached a "-chan"?

Maria-chan,

you are type A, right? Does that mean your boyfriend is type B?

How does he know my blood type?

What? Why a patterned shirt? Oh, me too...

With all that freedom... Is this guy a big deal here?

I'm sorry.

This here is Sergeant Ichijo.

Sergeant!?

Internal Affairs

ZENTARO ICHIJO

He's not a big deal at all! That's three ranks below me...

I'll have you work with Mr. Ichijo as a team.

What!?

Welcome to Internal Affairs! Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I am Zentaro Ichijo.

Just call me "Zentaro," Maria-chan.

Pleased to meet you, Sergeant Ichijo.

I told you, Zentaro is fine, Maria-chan.

- Want some canelé? - No, I'm good.

Call me Yuki, Sergeant Ichijo.

I leave the rest to you.

Mr. Ichijo, don't show off too much, okay?

Yes, Ma'am.

Tehepero (whoops) - teehee tongue-sticking-out

Whoops.

Middle-aged man doing tehepero...

It's very old and the way he uses it is not quite right...

Ah, I don't like this guy...

Maria-chan, your seat is right here!

- Okay. - Let me help you.

- I'm good. - Oh, okay...

Oh... That's cute...

What is it?

Is that some kind of confiscated items?

No, no, no. They're all my things.

It's not glamping,

but I'm planning to do some serious camping soon...

Maria-chan, wanna go with me?

No, thanks.

More importantly,

I'd like to talk about the problem the team is dealing with right now.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm on LINE a lot this time.

Sorry.

Looking closer, he's not typing with a flick, he's typing by repeatedly hitting the keys...

Excuse me... Sergeant Ichijo.

Sergeant Ichijo.

Mr. Ichijo.

- Mr. Zentaro... - What is it, Ma'am?

No, that's seriously annoying!

Using a smartphone for personal use while at work is undesirable.

Yes, well, you see...

I use it for both personal and work use.

So that is in the gray area.

I have an important matter to attend to.

What?

Okay, I'll be right there.

I really don't like him...

- Mrs. Matsuoka. - Yeah?
