Big thanks to \( -o _ o- )/ for the raw! Great quality as always !

Episode 1 - Fold of Darkness

1996 Spring North Kokubunji Police Station

Please take care of it...

Thanks for your hard work.

Take care on your way home!

The damage of the theft from the stand alone vegetable stall is about 900 Yen.

At best it's only children's mischief.

Even if that's the case its continuity makes it malignant.

Once it's resolved there won't be any incident left.

It wouldn't be much of an achievement.

That's not what I am aiming for.

So it's fine guarding a box like this one...

...forever?

Known for peaceful questioning, nothing will ever change like this.

Speaking about change,

Looks like section chief Ito from safety control has been promoted to the head office.

Who did you hear that from?

From Omura.

That guy is just section chief Ito's follower isn't he...

Can't be helped he was Omura's first boss after all.

That can't be all. There must be some deal in it as a real purpose.

But Omura is not interested in stepping ahead.

He says being on duty in a police box is more than enough.

Sounds like sarcasm to me...

Using flattery as a definite plan...

[Radio report from the Metropolitan Police Department to the Kokubunji police station...]

Isn't that very close by?

-Excuse us! We're passing by. -Excuse us, sorry.

Kizaki TM arrives to the scene of crime at 3.56 from now we are going in.

Kizaki TM arrival on location at 15.56 roger.

Anyone who has reported the crime?

No, not us..

Just now, a policeman went to the room on the second floor.

Who could have arrived sooner than us?

You go and cordon off the crime scene.

Yes.

Excuse me it's dangerous here please step back.

Police here!

It's safe, come in.

Kizaki?

Oh it was you Omura.

I reported it.

What do you mean by that?

Whilst I was on patrol in the neighborhood I heard a gunshot.

As I searched for its origin I saw a man running away on the main street.

So you saw the gunner?

I can't be conclusive, but I saw him running towards the station.

By the time I found this room and entered...

...this man was already dead.

It's the first time I see a body shot to death.

Good work. The crime scene is on the second floor.

We are not stepping in, just watching from here.

The first discoverer was Omura police sergeant who was out on patrol...

...he witnessed a man running away on the road outside.

Understood. I will speak to him later.

-Open it I'm coming in! -Still more of them to come!

Please don't cause an uproar.

What did the man look like?

Around his twenties or thirties wearing jeans and a black jumper.

His facial features?

I did not see that close.

Please stand back a bit further.

So Omura saw was the culprit right?

We can't jump to conclusions yet.

Kisaki,

...the earlier theft was from this stall.

There are other things to deal with. Do this tomorrow.

You said in your previous police box that you wanted to climb higher?

Yes.

So you will take this opportunity for a criminal investigation?

Starting tomorrow you will be a member of the special investigation HQ.

Myself in special investigation?

Hello? Hang on a moment..

No one can take it from here.

You will be commanded by our local chief so starting tomorrow come in a suit.

Understood. I shall be under your care.

Excuse me.

Section chief! Good work.

I hear there has been a criminal offense in your area?

Must be hard work.

Omura was the first to discover.

So I hear.

I have been assigned to special investigation.

Since things are busy here I couldn't let any of my members to join.

So you have been the one chosen...

...sorry about that.

Don't mention it.

At lest it's experience.

Looks like they have arrived.

Take them in.

Following the secret investigation the issue has been resolved.

Preparations for interpretation have been completed.

Put it all in the investigation report. Preparations for interpretation have been completed.

Put it all in the investigation report.

Understood.

Roaring celebrations of a raid?

Do you mean the section chief's?

Women from some sort of bar visiting here is a great annoyance.

We have just met.

My name is Kizaki from community affairs.

I am Hirata from prosecution.

Have you come as reinforcement?

Details are coming up later.

The victim of this investigation is Koike Motofumi ,31 years old, his address is in Azashino city, case number is 404.

We already know of his part time activities as a fellow gangster of the Yamato - Okuyama group.

Believed to also have connection with the Ninomata gang.

Now report on the case so far.

There were two bullets shot into the victim's body one from the back and another from the front the latter one on the left side of his chest entered his heart and caused death.

Near the entry hallway we found the prints of a male sneaker believed to belong to the suspect...

...its maker and other details are currently being analysed.

Fingerprints of unknown people believed to have been residing there have been found and are also being analysed.

The room is registered under the name Uehara Maiko...

...her whereabouts are currently being confirmed.

Based on the lack of furniture inside...

...our guess is that the residence was for personal use.

The gun carried by the suspect and used in the crime possibly has remaining bullets...

...be careful whilst investigating. That's all.

Understood.

Excuse me.

Yes?

We are from the police could we have a few inquiries?

Do you recognise this man?

I have not seen him.

I see. Thank you very much.

Thanks.

It's hard to gather valuable information with only shopping housewives and school children everywhere.

Even so, this is the task we have been assigned to continuing the search here is our job.

This is what our investigation is like.

I saw the crime scene before the forensics entered.

Probably seeing the corpse too,

...was right after the culprit escaped.

What other impression did you get?

It felt somewhat strange.

There was a complete lack of daily existence...

Why would a gangster like Koike be in that room?

Thanks for the wait, here is the orange juice.

Fingerprints of unknown people believed to have been residing there have been found and are also being analysed.

Wasn't Koike managing prostitutes in that room?

...that room was for women on standby.

Explains the lack of daily existence.

I see.

That's why there were multiple fingerprints across the place.

So we should search for the women.

Uehara, why did Koike use the room under your name?

Formalities were annoying him.

I only lent him the name.

Don't feign ignorance!

If this room was related to some sort of gangster trade...

...a simple apology won't do from you.

Is it alright if I report about Koike's room alone?

I don't mind but the it's best not to mention about the women whilst it's only a speculation.

All we know about the gun is that the bullets are 38mm.

Chief clerk next please.

Report on questioning Uehara Maiko, the registered owner of the crime scene.

Yes.

We have confirmed that they room was used for prostitution.

Uehara herself was recommending services to potential guests.

Collections from the crime scene next.

it was real after all.

Good work!

Is there anything wrong?

I was nearby and thought of warming up a bit.

You can go inside.

-Here is fine. -You can go inside.

Here is fine.

Where is Kizaki?

He is partaking in the special investigation concerning that case.

I hear that some profit from the vegetable stall was stolen?

It's only 900 Yen though. Whilst taking in the damage report I made Kizaki upset.

The amount of the money doesn't matter a theft is a theft!

You are right.

To be honest, I remember to have seen a suspicious man around that seller.

Really?

Do you recognise this man?

I wonder...

Have you ever seen this girl?

No, never.

Have you ever seen this girl?

I don't really know...

-Please look very closely. -I don't really know...

Please look very closely.

Sorry I don't know.

Have you ever seen this girl?

-Do you know her? -Never seen her.

What are you doing?

She has not come home.

Chief Ito is worried...

...please go home and rest.

For now let's go to the police box.

Omura?

What happened?
