Case File N° 221: Kabukicho (歌舞伎町シャーロック)

"Three Days Have Passed Since Jack's Murder"

"Revenge For His Sister? The People of the Moran Murder Incident"

"Tragic Hero? Ward Mayor Moran's Son James"

My son... James... has done something unforgivable.

But... he just wanted to avenge his sister!

"Jack's True Identity Was..."

"Disguised Himself as Hokari Maki (A woman)"

A teenager killed Jack the Ripper? Holy shit.

James is super hot!

Suspect James Moran killed the man who killed his sister...

James avenged Alex, huh?

Irene-san...

Did you know Moriarty from before?

Yes.

I was Alex's tutor.

I brought you some tea!

Thanks, James!

She was sick and frail. Almost never left her room.

And the one day she did leave the house, Jack killed her...

It always seemed weird to me.

That's why I thought Moran might be involved with Jack.

So you stole the USB drive.

Yes.

You were right. Moran was hiring Jack to do his dirty work.

The USB had the data proving it.

But Jack destroyed it, and now any way of proving Moran's guilt is gone.

Alex got caught between the two of them, huh?

Yeah, probably.

Okay, I'm heading back inside.

Thanks.

This cleared up a lot of things.

It's me. Good to talk to you again.

Yes. Yes.

Why don't you tell Irene-san and the rest of the row house what really happened?

Moriarty wanted to hide the truth.

Please, Sherlock Holmes.

Ward Mayor Moran really wanted to kill Moriarty.

I can't believe a man would want to kill his own son...

We'll never know the truth.

I'm sure that Moriarty didn't want to know.

Hey, old man. What's with the gloomy look?

It just doesn't make sense. How Moriarty killed Jack, I mean...

Well, he had a knife to the throat of the man who killed his sister.

He wasn't thinking straight.

Maybe...

So you're worried about Moriarty, huh?

Worried? No, I'm not...

It's fine. I understand.

You've known him a lot longer than me.

I'm not worried, okay?

Your best friend just vanished...

I can't even imagine how you must feel.

--No, list-- --I still can't believe Moriarty would...

You're still not going back to the West Side?

Jack is dead. The USB drive is gone.

There's no reason for Moran to go after you now.

Well, maybe you're right, but...

There's a new job.

Pipe...

Pipe is...

I can't believe it!

Pipe... Pipe is...

"No More Nyan-Nyan" ...missing since yesterday!

He's never done this in his whole life!

Maybe this guy cat-napped him!

He's been going around Kabukicho

kidnapping people's pets and selling them for a lot of money!

Would he go for a cat that big?

To be honest, I feel like I've got bigger problems.

Moririn is...

I can't forgive Maki... I mean, Jack!

He got what he deserved when he died!

I'm hiring you to find Pipe!

Everybody in this room is taking the job, whether you like it or not!

We have to do it?

When the sun sets in other towns,

in our town the neon lights turn on.

You may want gold and silver,

but find my goddamn cat!

A light shines in the detectives' eyes.

This row house is filled with the strangest of men,

and people call it "The Detective's Row House."

This is a special A5 rank job!

"A5 Top Grade Meat" This is a special A5 rank job!

Top grade meat awaits the one who brings back my Pipe!

Ready... go!

This is bullshit.

Thanks.

I hope they cheer up a bit...

This can't be true... Maki-chan is Jack?

It can't be...

Tell me it's not true, Maki-chan...

Maki-chan!

You're not going to look for Pipe?

I can't believe Moririn lost his sister...

I didn't even notice at all!

How has he felt this whole time?

She's the only sister I have.

You have a sister too, right? So you know how I feel.

Yeah, I guess.

When he gets back, I'm gonna have something to say to him.

"You idiot, why didn't you talk to us?"

You can still help him when he comes back.

For now, we've gotta do our job. Let's look for Pipe.

I'm not wasting my time on a job that doesn't pay a single yen.

Right? You think so too, right?

Another win.

Hey, Michel.

Seems like you're making money today.

I guess, yes.

So, is it true that Jack the Ripper was a regular at Pipe Cat?

Moran's son, the guy who killed him, went there a lot too, right?

Yeah.

The Ward Mayor's got it tough, with a son like that.

The news is saying he was trying to avenge his sister.

But he's still a murderer.

What?

I ain't a fan of Moran.

But I know what it feels like when somebody kills your daughter.

And his son took vengeance for him.

How is that not being a good son?

It's raining money!

Stop! Hey!

That stupid cat!

I'll turn it into a shamisen.

What's this baby carriage?

It looks so dumb.

This is the only one Pipe could fit in.

I'm not doing this because I want to.

When's the captain coming back?

I'm bored.

Hey, you kids!

Stop your whining and get to work!

It's up to the Irregulars to protect Kabukicho while Morairty's gone!

Until Moriarty gets back, Yoshio, I appoint you acting captain!

Acting captain?

Kobayashi. Mrs. Hudson's got you looking for Pipe, right?

Right.

Mrs. Hudson's pretty down after what happened with Moriarty and Maki.

The least we can do is find that cat.

Okay, this is my first order as acting captain!

Let's find Pipe before Kobayashi does!

Yes! Yeah!

You're not helping me?

"Thomas Shomaru Retirement Performance"

Sherlock, you're not going to go looking for Pipe?

It's time for Thomas Shomaru's last performance before his retirement!

"Sold Out" I got the last ticket before it sold out!
