Don't screw with me.

Why did you just go and die on your own?

If you're going to die, tell us everything first.

Someone related to him might know something.

There must be a clue somewhere.

Is it a phone number?

Hello.

Who is this?

Why are you picking up, Fumi…

BREATHING MOUNTAINS FUMI KARASHIMA PHOTO EXHIBIT

Wait,

are you Makoto?

Yes.

There's something I want to ask. Can we meet somewhere?

Why are those two connected?

We'll have to ask her directly.

Maybe she even knows Tsuda's motive.

Is that key the only clue left?

Hand it over.

What you just put in your pocket.

The Violent Crimes Division will keep that until the bereaved family is located.

Take it without permission and you'll be subject to disciplinary action.

Don't do it.

Searching any further is useless.

Tsuda

didn't kill your parents.

What?

How do you know that?

I never thought you brothers

would end up becoming police officers.

I used to be in the prefectural police's First Division.

First Division?

No way…

I was chasing that case.

When will you catch them?

Why did my mom and dad die?

You two were young back then.

It's no wonder you didn't notice.

Did you catch the killer?

I looked into it, but it wasn't that person.

What?

But we, the police,

will definitely catch the culprit.

That night,

Tsuda was called out by someone from a publishing company

and was drinking at a pub in Jimbocho.

Maybe he faked an alibi?

He said he would come to our house that night.

He was caught on a security camera.

But the records back then didn't mention it…

A politician the Second Division was tailing also appeared in that footage.

To prevent it from leaking,

the higher-ups decided not to report it and just kept it an internal issue.

I never imagined you guys were still chasing Tsuda.

If that's the case, why did he run away?

If he's innocent, he had no need to disappear.

He was removed from the list of suspects.

You know the police didn't look further into him.

Is there anything else you know about Tsuda?

Mr. Koike!

Tsuda

might have been interviewing people other than your father.

Other people?

The factory where the fire happened.

1995, APRIL 26

Apparently, he was sniffing around that area.

I don't think it is relevant to the case, though.

Give it.

The key.

- Help us out here. - What?

If there's a similar key, they won't notice.

What are you guys...

At least do that much for us.

Since you didn't do anything for us back then.

The statute of limitations expired.

What's the point of finding the culprit now?

We want to know.

Why were our parents killed?

We won't cause you any more trouble.

LAND FOR LEASE AS CAR PARK, STORAGE, ETC.

If he was investigating the factory, that explains why he knows Fumi.

What was Tsuda investigating?

Seems after the fire, the land here was sold off.

But it's not like everything is gone.

If it's not Tsuda,

the culprit is still out there somewhere.

I'm Kawano from the Akita Police. Please, go ahead.

Let's get started then.

Resident Aiko Mizusawa was killed in an arson-murder

at her apartment in the Kanagawa Ward.

Gold bars worth 100 million yen were found in the residence.

After verification, they matched the gold bars

from the 400 million yen robbery that occurred in Akita a year ago.

There were four robbers.

Was Aiko Mizusawa's name on the suspect list?

No, she wasn't listed here.

There's testimony that before her death,

Mizusawa was being stalked by a man named Togo.

He is thought to be either one of the robbers, or the mastermind.

Do you have any information on him?

We have no information at this time.

Are you saying that this Togo man is the arsonist?

No, the one who set the fire is likely Yugo Hiranaka.

Yugo Hiranaka?

Flyers used to start the fire

were only distributed around where Hiranaka lives.

Hiranaka also had a bruise on his neck

that closely resembled the tattoo of one of the four robbers.

Hiranaka and Togo might have been chasing Mizusawa together.

However, Hiranaka fled by car.

We are currently tracking him.

Did Hiranaka flee in a panic?

His smartphone is turned off, right?

Yes.

It's difficult to pinpoint his location via cell signal.

He lives in a nice house.

Yes.

Right.

Do you think he left and met up with Togo?

They're probably overseas by now.

Such shallow logic.

- What? - Oh, no.

- What did you just say? - That hurts.

- I'm sorry. - Hey.

Hey.

They found.

Yugo Hiranaka's body.

What?

One, two, three.

There.

- Scale. - Here.

Nine stab wounds were confirmed on the back of the body.

The fatal wound was a stab below the right shoulder blade.

The blade pierced the lungs, causing air and blood to fill the chest.

The culprit must have had a strong grudge.

Dr. Kagura.

There's a variation in the depth of the wounds.

They range from six centimeters to 14 centimeters at the deepest.

What about the angle?

The blade was inserted like this…

Almost vertically.

I see.

What's bothering you?

The force of the stabs.

If there's a strong intent to kill, the blade is usually plunged in deep.

But the body had several shallow wounds as well.

- In cases like this… - They were probably in a hurry.

Maybe someone was coming.

Repeated stabbing in a short time?

Repeated stabbing would cause the depth of the wounds to vary.

The man killed at the marina is Yugo Hiranaka, 23 years old.

An investor who owns several properties within the prefecture.

His legal residence was Akita Prefecture, the same as Aiko Mizusawa.

Hiranaka suffered neglect as a child

and was reportedly estranged from his parents.

This photo was found at his home.

It also shows Aiko Mizusawa

and a person believed to be her friend, Saki Yokokura.

Hiranaka started investing one year ago,

immediately after the gold robbery.

Like Aiko Mizusawa,

Hiranaka may have used the gold bars he made off with.

The autopsy results?

On Yugo Hiranaka's body, we found no defensive wounds.

Does that mean he knew the suspect?

We don't know that yet.

The moment of the crime was not caught on security cameras,

but a person carrying a suitcase

was sighted near the marina at the same time.

Is this man Togo?

The motive for the crime was likely the suitcase.

The case the man is holding belonged to Hiranaka.

The contents might be the rest of the gold bars.

It's possible they had a falling out, and he took it.

The robbers were a group of four.

It's hard to believe it's just a coincidence.

It's possible this Yuzuru boy's family name is Togo.

Continue to search for witnesses, and…

Investigate Saki Yokokura as a person of interest.

Yes, sir!

BATHHOUSE

This place hasn't changed.

Man, I'm hungry.

But…

I just don't get it.

Get what?

Why Hiranaka

went as far as to set fire to the house of his childhood friend, Aiko Mizusawa.

Hey.

I'm off the clock right now.

Maybe he was told to kill her, to be forgiven for running off with the gold.

I just felt refreshed, don't bring up such heavy topics.

And then he was betrayed and killed by Togo.

Did the gold bars destroy the relationship the four of them had?

We just have to find one of the people in that photo.

What about Saki Yokokura?

She vanished.

When First Division went, the room was ransacked, and bloodstains were found.

- Check the security cameras. - Yes.

That might be Togo's doing as well.
