Watashi No Kirai Na Tantei (The Private Detective That I Don't Like / 私の嫌いな探偵)

Eureka!

You've cracked it? Ukai

Yes.

Want me to go through it all?

Do it. - It'll take time but?

I don't mind just do it.

Alright.

The culprit is...

You

Hahaha.

Where's your evidence that I did it?

The one who pierced Mr. Yoshizumi's chest

with a bow gun last night wasn't an

outside intruder. It was you.

Don't be stupid!

When the incident happened

I was here eating at this table with everyone.

How could I possibly shoot a Bowgun?

You used ice.

You tied a thread to the trigger

and then the thread to ice and when the ice melted the bow gun shot.

After the shooting you were the first to go "look" for the criminal

but you actually hid the bowgun.

What a classic method.

But the seating wasn't decided yet?

If I had sat there I might have even died?

Actually there was a trick put in place to make Mr. Yoshizumi sit here...

And what was that?

On the night

lobster soup was the entree, right?

The one who ordered it was you, wasn't it Komori-san?*

How do you know that...

In the house

what the master wants to eat is wrote down

and handed to the butler Mr. Miyata right?

Yes.

And sometimes directions are left on paper in the kitchen?

Yes, that's right.

You saw your chance there.

You added to the note the master left.

You added "prawn" to where it had soup written, right?

You did it because you knew Mr. Yoshizumi

had a crustacean allergy.

By telling Miyata-san that

one soup without prawn was brought out

and the seat it was left infront of

automatically became the seat -san would take.

But you have no evidence!

This is the menu paper that looks like its always being thrown away.

Well, I'm sure it looked like

Mr. Miyata was always throwing the menu requests away but

that box that looks like a bin

is actually used to store the menu requests.

And the "prawn" part you added

is still on it.

So what do you want to do? Should I send it in for hand-writing analysis?

You're amazing. - I give in detective.

Great work Ukai.

There was no helping it.

It all started 10 years ago.

Life was going smoothly.

Ahh, I don't need to hear about that. - Huh?

I don't really care about you situation or anything.

No way!? - Well, Otsukaresamadesu.

Otsukare! - Hey wait! Wait a minute!

But the detective is meant to

listen to the criminal's sad past usually, right?

Well I don't. - You don't?

Those kinds of detectives exist!? - You're arrested.

No way...!? - Well, see you later detective.

How about you detective? Will you listen?

C'mon...! I've gotta go home

and put my kids in the bath.

Why're you talking about family matters? What kind of climax is this?

Well...Real life isn't like drama. This is reality.

Shut up you murderer! - Ee-!

My name is Morio Ukai. I'm a private detective.

It's been around three years or so

since I opened my office in this town, Ikagawashi.

The Squid sales here are ranked 9th in Japan

I guess you could say it's kind of

a mediocre town.

For some reason crime rates have risen,

and this town has become a crime town like Chicago was.

Well...I'm sure even Chicago has alot of crime now...

But murder cases are a pain.

No matter how troublesome they are they don't even yield a single yen

The victim's wife put some

big money up so I took that case.

But I never want to do it again.

Ah this thing again...

No way

Even if this is kind of a B-grade town...

An office this big is going for 10 000 yen?

I can't believe someone would pull this

kind of scam on private detectives.

Is what I first thought, but I still took the bait.

Well well, I wonder what kind of old bastard the landlord will be...

I guess I should listen to whatever he has to waffle on about.

Otsukaresama desu. Nice to meet you.

I'm the landlord.

Landlord? - Yes.

My name is Ninomiya.

I'm Ukai.

So what do you think of the place? Good?

Yes. Um I was wondering about the rent...

Is it 10 000 yen? - Yes 10 000 yen is fine.

Ee...?

And with that I moved.

Uwa...!

It looks great in here!

Thank you.

Wow this looks just like a detective's office

It's wonderful! - Thank you.

Ahh, I brought some soba over to commemorate your move.

I made it.

Jyan! I call it Kamatama Soba Udon.

Ahh...It looks like udon but its actually soba.

Wow...You really shook things up.

Yeah. Well I hope that you get lots of clients!

Oh don't say that...I don't want to get flooded.

Oh yeah, right.

Sorry for jinxing you.

That's okay...

Ah, do you need anything else?

Oh sorry, I'll be going now.

Thank you.

The phone doesn't ring very much.

Ahhhh, yeah it doesn't ring constantly...

Oh of course.

I have a bad feeling about this girl...

Wait a minute!

Yuki! Are you really...

serious about breaking up?

Damn it..!

But you said you liked me!

I'll kill you!

Go ahead, try and KILL me.

Don't forget those words!

Wow this guy is heavy.

It's just like he's in a TV drama or something.

Shutup!

Moro-Senpai...I wish that girl would die.

Ryuhei you've got really bad luck with girls.

Every girl you've dated has been a dud.

You should just give up on women.

What do you mean by 'give up on women'?

Damn it...!

Next time I'm definitely gunna snag a girl like Michiko-san.

Michiko-san? - Yeah Michiko-san!

**Just means someone who really likes fishing in Japanese

She's the wife of Tsuribaka** magazine's Hama-chan.

Aa~! - There are no girls like that in the world.

No wife would see you off smiling when you said you're-

going on a business trip but it's obvious you're going fishing.

Your fantasies about girls are ridiculous

Moro-senpai...Show me tsuribaka.

Let's watch this one today.

"Genocide Palace?"

Isn't this renowned for being a really, really shit movie?

No, everyone's wrong. It's really, really good.

Okay? So let's watch it. - Ee.

Wow this is pretty long.

Wow it's 8 already. We should watch it quickly before we get sleepy.

This is pretty interesting. - Right?

Wow that WAS good.

And it went for 2 and a half hours?

Didn't feel like it at all.

It's good, hey? - Yeah.

Ahhh...I'll go get some snacks.

10:30? They're probably JUST still open.

Alright I got some pistachios and sakiika.

Thank you.

Oh yeah. - Hm?

At the mansion next to this one there was a roof jump suicide.

Huh? - Yeah there was a crowd and

everything over there.

Please get out of the way. I'm here to work.

Ahhh why'd they have to jump off the building at this time of night?

I'd just got my kids to sleep damnit.

Hmm...? She's been stabbed!?

I'm gunna go take a bath.

Okay.

Wow Moro-san takes his time in the bath.

Moro-san?

Senpai?

Are you okay?

Ee...?

Senpai? Senpai!

This one's closed too.

This one too?

Why?

I'm locked in?

Sometimes my bad feelings are wrong.

Actually no,

Phone!

they're always right.

Hello?

Sorry for making you wait. - Oh, you came?

It's rare for you to come so quickly. - I have my reasons.
