Enmadou Sara no Suiri Kitan (The Mystery Collection of Enmado Sara /閻魔堂沙羅の推理奇譚)

You're a dog.

Where am I? This is not the hospital.

As expected of an incumbent detective. You're very calm, aren't you?

Could this be what's called the "afterlife"?

I got stabbed near my house and I already kick the bucket?

You are correct. Welcome to Enma Hall.

This is the place where souls are decided whether they go to heaven or hell.

- Enma Hall? - My name is Sara. I am the daughter of Enma.

Stop screwing around! Who is it? Who stabbed me? What's his motive?

Well, well, well, don't get so upset,

and look back at the time when you were about to die.

Takebe Kenji, aged 43.

Your cause of death was stabbing.

The Mystery Collection of Enmado Sara

What the hell! Hey! Hey! You!

Hey, you. Hey, you.

Hey, you.

I want you to retract your testimony, damn it!

- Apologize! - I'm sorry...

- You, wanna take a few swings at him? - No, that's okay. I'm good.

Now, don't be standing there like a fool, and go over there!

Hey, that witness in the main street injury case has recanted his testimony.

- Oh, I see. - That should get us an arrest warrant.

- I'm always thankful for your hard work. - No, no.

The way you stared intensely at me, Takebe-san, I felt like I was being threatened.

Ah, really?

Um... am I still slowing you down?

Sure, I can't do it as well as Mr. Takebe yet, but...

Morino.

You, don't have enough poison in you.

Is that what's called "controlling poison with poison"?

When dealing with criminals, detectives can also use threats or violence...

I just like to hunt, that's all.

You may learn a lot, but don't follow his example.

Takebe is the type of person who will go off track if he makes a mistake.

That's right.

The chief was right.

If I hadn't become a detective, I might have become a criminal.

That's why my marriage didn't last more than two years.

The next day, a murder took place in an apartment building within our jurisdiction.

So I started a new hunt again.

- So what are you to the victim? - He was a colleague in my English conversation school.

He didn't show up today, so I came to check on him...

What did you see when you checked on him?

His head was... smashed.

Morino.

- She's the one who called the police, look after her. - I will.

Idiot!

You... Hey, you. What the hell did you do!? What the hell are you doing here, you idiot!

- Hey! Hey! - I'm sorry, the patrol just arrived downstairs...

- They arrived... - I'm sorry!

The victim was a 27-year-old English teacher, Enami Hayate.

The possible murder weapon, an ashtray, was missing from the scene.

And there was only one item left at the scene.

The piece of metal found

at the site was part of a chain used in a necklace of the foreign brand VFV.

- I'm sorry. It's my fault. - Yes, it is your fault.

Why do they have to remove me from the main investigation?

- Um, where are you... - I've said it before, haven't I?

I love to hunt.

"I joined the New Star English School in April of 2016..."

Suspect 1

First to discover the body

Tamahashi Yukina

34 years old

- Okay, good work.... - Takebe-san.

Tamahashi-san. I heard that you had a sexual relationship with the victim.

- But you have a husband. - We have a split relationship.

- Did he threaten to tell your husband? - No way...

- Takebe, that's enough... - In our industry,

the theory is to suspect the person who discovered it first.

Suspect 2

Enami's ex-girlfriend

Shimizu Maho

26 years old

Shimizu Maho. I heard you were really violent when you broke up with Enami.

- Takebe-san, you can't do that. - At that time, you yelled

"I'm going to kill you!" - I just lost my temper back then!

Is that why? Is that why you lost your temper this time?

Ah.

Suspect 3

The girlfriend he was in a relationship with

Yoshine Mika

20 years old

She was just questioned by the police a while ago.

Ah, you're the sister. Well, I was wondering what your state of mind was when you

found out your boyfriend was murdered. - State of mind...

That Enami guy is a womanizing bastard.

Didn't you also feel that you couldn't forgive him?

That day, this girl came straight home after school.

I stayed with her and she never went out after that.

The testimony of relatives is not accepted as an alibi.

- My sister's not a suspect, she's a person of interest, right? - That has nothing to do with me.

How is that even relevant?

I'm getting a lot of complaints from the site because of you scurrying around.

I heard that you're forcing Morino to investigate the missing item as well.

I would like to express my apologies. I'll be careful from now on.

That looks like it's not convincing.

Yes, this is Susaki.

Really?

It was a call that the murder weapon had been found.

It was at the station locker that the first discoverer, Tamahashi, always uses.

Is Tamahashi the culprit after all?

What do you think? I don't get it at all to begin with.

But the first discoverer was suspicious...

What if that was a cover-up...?

I'll check in with Shimizu again tomorrow.

Eh? Didn't the chief already told you not to do that?

This has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it.

The piece of metal found at the site was part of a chain used in a necklace of the foreign brand VFV.

I killed Enami-san. I am deeply sorry.

Good job.

Everyone was talking about you, Takebe-san. They said, "You beat those at HQ for that major achievement.

Takebe-san?

Why was the murder weapon, an ashtray,

found in the coin operated locker at the station Tamahashi usually uses?

That was... a cover-up by Shimizu, wasn't it?

I still haven't found the connection between Tamahashi and Shimizu.

Why would someone who was trying to frame her commit suicide?

Takebe-san, why are you so stuck up on this?

The pieces of the puzzle do not fit into place.

Morino. Get me a copy of Shimizu's autopsy report.

I'm going to have another look around Yoshine.

- Hey... - What?

- Would you like to go out for a drink today? - Huh?

If you'd like to review the case, I'd be happy to help.

Dumbass. You don't need to worry about me, just go on a date with your girlfriend.

I saw you guys flirting the other day. You little bastard.

Okay, then.

No. I have no idea who stabbed me and why.

It doesn't matter even if you know it now.

Now whether to send you to heaven or hell

is honestly a bit tricky. - Tricky? Why is that?

Aside from being a detective, I've never really admired your way of living.

And besides, you made a huge mistake at the very last moment.

A huge mistake? Hey! What is it?

At the last moment? Are you talking about that Enami killing?

A huge mistake, huh? So Shimizu wasn't the culprit after all?

You are dead and it is no longer your business.

How is that not my business?

I was just about to review that case!

Even more so if it's a false accusation!

You're getting on my nerves... You're really a dog, aren't you?
