You're Kisaragi-san from MPD right?

Yes.

I'm cheering for you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

We got a case. We're heading to the crime scene.

Yes.

Kimura Fumino

Tokyo MPD to all units. A murder has occured at West Fukagawa.

Aoki Munetaka

Emergency deployment within the jurisdiction.

I want to go.

Dad has to work.

Areas involved are West Fukagawa, North Tsukishima.

They won't run out of tickets so next time...

Suspect is believed to carry a knife. Units are to look out for suspicious subjects.

Repeat. Suspect is believed to carry a knife. Units are to look out for suspicious subjects.

Tokyo MPD to all units. A murder has occured at West Fukagawa.

At this time, No.1 Keihin Street will be blocked.

Use Sakurada Street to cross Tsukuda bridge and enter Monzen Nakacho.

Good morning.

Kisaragi. -Good morning.

Early, aren't you? As expected from Kisaragi-san.

Of course, I can't be a rookie forever.

Shunin, good morning.

Shunin refers to person in charge.

Don't tell me, again?

Good morning. -Good morning.

What's the situation?

The crime scene's house no.316. The forensics are still working.

Let's go. -Yes.

Watanabe Ikkei

Ishikura-san, your plan's ruined right? -Huh?

You said you're going to bring your family to the amusement park.

Toshiyuki Kitami

Yeah, if I don't solve this case ASAP, I'm gonna be in deep trouble.

Takahiro Fujimoto

Koyanagi Yu

Why are we taking this? According to the roster, it should be Section 4 or 9.

Section 4 is sent to support the Kamishakuji abandoned corpse case.

Yuki Furukawa

Section 9 is handling the robbery case at Kitasenji last night.

Kanno Misuzu

We're gonna need 30 Sections before we can dream of getting a day off.

Katsumura Masanobu

Even I was planning to visit Minowa Castle ruins.

Minowa Castle?

Ah...I haven't told you, have I?

Toku-san's hobby is touring castle ruins, right?

I say that but ever since being assigned here I never got the chance.

Do you know what hobby is most common among police?

What is it? -Pachinko.

Makes you wonder if they're reliable upon sudden work calls.

So you're saying they have to either quit their hobby

or quit being a cop to have meaningful day off?

What were you planning today?

Doesn't matter, does it?

Nakamura Toru

Oh...okay, fine.

This place doesn't feel right.

What is this?

Could it be correct and wrong signs?

That's obvious but what do they mean?

This smell...

Morning. -You're here.

They just finished collecting evidence.

Can we enter? -Yeah.

Just be prepared.

It's not blood, is it?

It's paint.

You should know from the smell. -They're commercial spray and lacquer paint.

The same thing was used to write the signs outside.

As you can see, most of the interior was painted red.

And...

Victim's name is Kiuchi Sashi.

According to the neighbours, he lived alone.

There are cut wounds on the neck. Is that the cause of death?

Probably.

The killer must have poured the paint over the dried bloodstain after killing the vic.

The weapon?

Didn't find any.

But we suspect the killer left behind a raincoat and a pair of boots.

They're analyzing them now.

Raincoat and boots?

Must be to avoid his body from getting dirty.

In short, the killer must have planned this.

Could the killer be looking for something?

At the moment, we can't find the victim's wallet and phone.

The laptop too.

Most likely the killer took them.

Not a simple robbery then.

How did he enter?

The front door's lock had been picked.

There are footprints from there till the bedroom.

So...

The killer waited for the vic to fall asleep,

entered through the front door and

stabbed Kiushi-san who was sleeping in the bedroom.

The killer then searched through his personal belonging and stuffs.

After getting what he wanted

he painted the whole apartment in red.

Then he took off the raincoat and boots.

Went out

and wrote the signs.

I don't get it.

Why would the killer do that?

What's the date today? -Hm...26th.

It's still September 26th. So why is the calendar already October?

4 more days till end of the month.

So why did he tear it off?

Could it be the vic's impatient character?

Or...

Something important to the killer was written on the calendar?

Kamo-san.

Check for any pressure markings. -Yes.

It'd be great if there's something.

This case is baffling as it is.

One thing's for sure.

Next week's holiday, we can forget about family time.

Kiba 7-chome Murder Case

Again with that superstition.

That watch is a memento from your father right?

Yes.

This way, I feel like my father's lending me strength.

It calms me down.

Ah...that's blanket syndrome.

Kinda like those kids who get anxious without their comfort towels or plush dolls.

Are you saying that I'm a kid?

Don't be angry. Just saying your father would be happy to know his daughter's feeling.

Good morning! Let's work together.

Good morning.

Good morning! Let's work together.

Good morning.

Good morning! -Good morning!

Attention!

We're going to begin the investigation task force for the murder case at Kiba 7-chome.

I'm Hayase from Section 11, First Division of Tokyo MPD. Let's work together.

Let's work together.

At ease!

The short name for the case this time is 'Kiba Case'.

Director Teshirogi from First Division will lead the task force.

My name's Teshirogi. We'll solve the case within a week.

Put in your best effort for the case. Understood?

Yes!

First, I'll explain the case.

It began at 7.23am.

The residents at Kiba 7-chome, Koto Ward called in to report suspicious activity.

When the patrol checked the place

signs similar to 'correct and wrong' were written in front of the apartment.

There was a thinner-like smell coming from inside.

When no one replied, the officers decided to check the apartment.

Victim's name is Kiuchi Sashi, 43.

Ishikura from Section 11.

He worked at a cram school called 'Susu-me' next to Ryogoku Station.

He taught Science and Mathematics.

He didn't have any bad reputation at the workplace or among the neighbours.

He didn't seem to have any trouble.

Next, the evidence.

Takano from Section 11.

After investigating the route of acquisition of both raincoat and boots left at the crime scene

we found that they were imported from overseas.

It's going to take some time before we can track the suspect.

Maybe he left them behind because he knew that.

This suspect is a very intelligent and cunning person.

If that's the case

is it possible that he was trying to disguise the robbery by making it look like a bizarre murder?

According to the documents, the entire apartment was rummaged.

Considerable amount of stuff were taken.

May I?

What is it, Kisaragi?

Kisaragi from Section 11.

According to the documents

Kiuchi-san's annual income was about 4 million yen, middle-income range.

If we consider the psychology of the suspect

since the risk is the same for any money-related crime

shouldn't he target a higher income group?

The laptop was taken

but he left behind the adapter.

If he wanted to trade them for money

he should take both.

As to why he didn't do so.

Maybe what's important for the suspect is the content of the laptop.

Information that connects both suspect and victim.

So it's a matter of grudge?

Yes, for example the other items too.

Things that are usually present.

Photo albums, notes, memo and notebooks.
