A murder swap game had took place without my knowledge.
Among them, persons who got killed with smiling face where Nana-chan,
Akaike-san,
Ukita-san,
Kojima-san,
Kamiya-san...
...and the other one...
...is Kono-san.
A man named Uchiyama had confessed after killing them.
It's bullseye!
I will tell you about...
...the crimes I have committed!~
However, the video has many inexplicable spots.
I don't think everything there is true.
And another man, named Minami, is hiding something.
I was following the actions of Tatsuo Uchiyama for the past week.
I found that he was in meeting with someone on the apartment.
- Who was it? - It's Minami-san of Room 502.
You killed someone, right?
Answer me. Have you killed someone?
That is... You look anxious... Eh?
...It's really Kuroshima-san.
That woman had killed...
...Tezuka-san's wife.
There's no time left.
Though this is not right, but I'll forcibly go with this!
It's now a wound that can be cured with adhesive bandages. What will you do?
Eh? Huh?
Have you killed someone?
The evidence... The evidence is there!
That man...
A man?
Eh?
Minami-san!
I have something...
...to talk with you...
It's good that you've came.
What was that just now?
Please listen first.
This guy...
...is a murderer.
Episode 18
A murderer?
Furthermore, a serial killer.
Ah, no...
Then, how many people have you killed?
- I... That is... - Let me explain if you have forgotten it.
5 years ago,
August 2, 2014,
at Konan City, Kochi Prefecture.
At that time, there was an incident...
...in which a third-grader girl went to...
...her friend's house and disappeared.
Typhoon No. 12 approached and the storm was recorded.
The family earnestly searched for her,
but two days later, from inside the farmer's shed,
her body was discovered.
Her cause of death is...
...that her carotid artery was cut using a sharp blade.
Resulting to hemorrhagic shock.
Maybe, that is...
Few people just went out during the typhoon...
...and there were no sighting information.
There was a power outage...
...near the site. With just few security cameras,
the culprit was not yet identified even after several years.
- The incident is still on it's labyrinth. - As expected, that is...
...the case of Honoka-chan, am I right?
You!
Don't say my daughter's name!
Daughter?
The monkey from that day...
I'm sorry for the bother. Thank you.
In the past, I was good at climbing trees.
I was called "monkey"...
I guess you were that person.
- Have you reported it? - No.
Not a police car was called but instead an ambulance.
Eh?
Hang on, Minami-san! This is no good!
What did you do to my husband!?
I must misjudged you!
I remembered much that heavy-rained day at Kochi.
That person was in the branch of the bank where he's working.
- You're lying! - I'm not lying!
Since the whole area was flooded,
the second floor of the bank was opened as an evacuation site.
He was in-charge for the whole night!
He was given an award by the fire department.
Have you seen it?
[ Appreciation towards Aoi Bank's branch manager at Konan City, Kochi Prefecture ]
I have remembered... that day well.
During that day,
I went around to meet the borrowers...
And along the way...
Ah!
Here.
Thank you so much.
It's just a small happening that will be forgotten right away.
But, the day after the incident, on TV and on newspapers,
Honoka-chan's photo appeared there, isn't it?
And I realized after, "Ah, it's that child"...
Since then, you watched the news and got worried every day, right?
Right.
This is shit...
I'm sorry, Honoka.
Papa... was wrong too...
I'm sorry...
I'm really sorry!
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
I know well how desperate you are to catch the culprit who killed your daughter.
Yes.
So, why did you go all the way from Kochi?
You didn't follow Tamiya-san from the beginning, right?
The main reason I wanted to go here...
...was because I got information...
...that the victim in Room 502 was smiling after she was killed.
After that, when I heard that the residents in Room 201 were smiling after got killed,
I have decided.
Honoka was also smiling.
This is Honoka.
Since my daughter was killed, I've been working here and there...
...and always look for the culprit.
Well, originally, it wasn't selling at all.
But still,
if I won't get up myself, I will never find the culprit...
...and came up as "an entertainer who thrives after the incident".
I looked into similar incidents and actually lived in the place where they happened.
I have gathered information while earning for a living.
How did you able to collect those?
You're getting your teeth onto it.
I also looked for information of the past murders.
And the primary source of information...
...is the detective who was in-charge of Honoka's case.
A detective?
Even after his retirement, he continued to investigate the incident...
Was it about May, this year?
In an apartment in Kuramae, Tokyo,
a corpse with a smiling face came out.
More people were dying as I continued to investigate,
so I moved in thinking that there was absolutely something.
What does it mean to not fall into the trap?
You...
...were looking for materials as an entertainer...
...and afterwards, you went to Uchiyama, am I right?
Yes.
You don't have just only tailed him, but you also talk with him at a coffee shop.
Why have you concealed it?
I heard from the police.
I'm talking about this as your wife is also a victim of this case.
Okay.
I met Uchiyama...
...to investigate Kuroshima Sawa.
Kuroshima-chan?
That girl is from Kochi too.
Eh?
If she went to Tokyo for further studies,
wouldn't that mean she was in Kochi five years ago?
The people who were in Kochi before 5 years ago...
...and who lives in this apartment now...
...were Tamiya and Kuroshima.
They were more suspicious.
So, I thought of...
...confirming this with Kuroshima's parents.
Excuse me. I'm sorry to ask this,
but do you live in Kochi?
Yes.
I mean, I accidentally heard you from inside the ward. My bad.
I lived from Kochi too.
Ah, is that so?
Yes.
Oh? Kuroshima...?
Eh? Do you have a daughter?
Ah... Yes.
This looks like a coincidence.
There was a heavy rain in Kochi 5 years ago.
At that time, my daughter said, “I borrowed an umbrella from a kind elder sister".
When she came back home, she brought the umbrella...
...with the name of "Kuroshima" on it.
Kuroshima-san, who lent that during heavy rain, must have...
...went back soaked and wet. I got worried for her.
Ah... My apologies, but that's not my daughter.
Oh?
Is that so?
Yes.
That day, my daughter's tutor came at our house at noon.
Ah. That's right. It's Matsui-sensei, isn't it?
Before attending the trial, he seemed to have studied until morning.
So, if Kuroshima was not the culprit,
I turned to Uchiyama-san.
Thanks for you help.
No, Ma'am. Don't need to mention it,
I knew that Uchiyama was also from Kochi,
so I investigated him for a while.
I don't know what that means...
Never mind about that. Prove it to me fast.
Ah... Mom?
I mean, you know...
