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

The East Side... Kabukicho...

The city of chaos, huh?

"Hello Detectives"

That's strange...

Hey, mister. You a boss outside, or a boss at home?

I said, are you a boss outside, or a boss at home?

-A boss at home, I guess?

--A boss at home! --A boss at home, I guess?

I've got some good girls.

I've got just the girl for you, you terrible husband.

No, I'm looking for Pipe Cat.

A job?

Yes.

Is this the place?

Follow the cat's paw prints.

We're waiting!

Okay, that was perfect!

Keep it up during the performance tomorrow.

Oh, I've never seen you before.

"Bar Pipe Cat, Owner" I'm Mrs. Hudson.

Hello. Um...

I heard there were detectives here.

Is everyone here?

"Kyogoku" "Sherlock" "Michel" "Kobayashi"

"Kyogoku" "Sherlock" "Michel" "Kobayashi" It was sudden, so only three made it.

Now, why don't you sit down and relax?

Um...

Hey, buy me a drink!

"An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (2)" Hey, buy me a drink!

"An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (2)" No, I didn't come here to drink.

"An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (3)" "An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (1)" "An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (2)" Aww, come on. Right?

"An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (3)" "An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (1)" "An 'Onee' Who's a Regular at Pipe Cat (2)" Y-Yeah...

Come on, sit down here.

Come on!

"Pipe Cat Waiting Room"

Get started, Inspector Lestrade.

"A Detective with the Shinjuku Ward Police"

"A Detective with the Shinjuku Ward Police" There's been another one, you see.

There's been another one, you see.

Another victim of Jack the Ripper.

An hour ago, a body was found in an empty condo.

You're sure it's him, Inspector?

Yeah. No doubt about it, given the MO.

But you police have been keeping us away from the Jack case.

Why the change?

Righteous rage!

I don't want to see anybody else dead.

And the police force's pride can go screw itself!

Ahem.

So it's Ward Mayor Moran?

He lost his daughter to Jack six months ago.

He got tired of the police's incompetence and decided to turn to us detectives.

You can't fool my eyes.

Now, let's go see the body before the press finds out.

What's the rank for the pay?

Sherlock, with a bonus, of course.

Ten million yen.

When the sun sets in other towns,

in our town of Kabukicho, the neon lights turn on.

If you want coins of gold and silver...

...then solve the mystery before your competition!

This row house is filled with the strangest of men,

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

Now, let the race begin.

Ten million yen for the one who finds Jack the Ripper.

Ready...

Go!

That's your problem, you know!

Sorry.

I'm sorry...

No...

Has it started already?

The target's Jack the Ripper.

Seriously?

-That's the biggest case we've had in forever!

--Jack? --That's the biggest case we've had in forever!

Um... are you Holmes-san?

How rude!

Don't mistake me for that pervert!

Sorry...

Now, time to make a fortune and move to the West Side!

The case calls. I have to go.

Creepy.

What's his deal?

Um, are you Sherlock Holmes-san?

No.

"Class 2-3 Sherlock Holmes"

Please!

Can you just hear me out?

Just give me five minutes...

Please! You're Holmes-san, right?

Hear me out!

Um... Boss Kaneko told me about you...

Um...

Watch where you're walking, moron!

Sorry.

I looked at your engine and the spark plug had come out.

I can drive for you.

"Client" My name is John Watson.

"Client" I work for a university hospital on the West Side.

I've got a case, or it's more like weird things have been happening to me...

I've got money.

I'll pay whatever you want.

Even though you're broke?

That kid...

"Bizarre Detective" This is Shinjuku Ward's east side. Kabukicho.

One step outside the bright neon lights, and it's darkness.

"Murder Scene"

The victim's name is Sayuri Onoue.

"Neat Freak Detective" We found fingerprints we believe to belong to the murderer,

"Neat Freak Detective" but nothing matched in our database.

but nothing matched in our database.

Okay, move.

Her genitals were cut off.

And an angels' wings were drawn in her blood.

That's Jack's usual MO.

It's been about four, maybe five hours since death?

No, from the way rigor mortis has set in, it's been six hours.

You can't deceive the eyes of Kyogoku Fuyuto.

"Former Cop & Gambling Detective" Poor girl, dying so young.

Buddha preserve us...

Inspector, where's the victim's cell phone?

Bring it.

"Search Results" "Mattsun: Morning! I'm waiting!" "Mattsun: I made it home! I'm lonely!" "Mattsun: My wallet says it's cold! Warm it up..."

Sherlock-san, go ahead.

You're late.

And who are you?

His driver.

The region from the uterine cervix to the uterine corpus has been removed.

But it wasn't done very cleanly.

Do you smell something?

I think it's Bahamas!

Say Baha-what?

--Was that supposed to be funny? You're so dumb.

--Who's he talking to? --Was that supposed to be funny? You're so dumb.

--No idea. Hatsu-san or Kuma-san, probably. --Was that supposed to be funny? You're so dumb.

Where's the victim's cell?

I just gave it to Kyogoku-san.

"Deleting 135 Messages"

"0 Messages"

Oh. Apologies.

Here.

Nobody's living in this room.

And it's hard to imagine she came here by herself.

Her message history didn't show anybody telling her to come here,

so Jack probably brought her here.

Hey! What are you doing?

Hello, gentlemen!

Welcome to White Rose!

To make a reservation, give us the date, time, and number of people...

Please don't do that, Sherlock-san!

She took that off herself. So it was consensual.

It's likely the criminal knew the killer.

I see.

I can already see how this case ends!

Excuse me.

Now then...

Of course, we're going, right?

What's this place?

You don't know the White Rose?

It's the biggest cabaret club in Kabukicho.

The owner is a former host named Masaya.

He does the interviews with the girls himself

and sleeps with any that catch his eye, they say.

There are other bad rumors...

Hello there!

Okay, put it all on this.

Got it!

When it's a case with a special bonus,

the client pays for all expenses.

We can put it on a tab!

It's a great job perk!

Hey, let us make that!

Can we have some, too?

You know a girl named Sayuri Onoue?

No, we don't know each other's real names.

Bring someone who would.

Hey, let's talk about something that's more fun.

What?

Blepharoplasty on the eyelids, as well as 1mm of hyaluronic acid under the eyes.

A bit of a nose job, too.

--Hey! --You got a good doctor.

Mixed in with your body smell is benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine gluconate, too...
