Detective Designated for Assignment (Senryokugai Sosakan / 戦力外捜査官)

"Cut the round cake three times

and make eight equal pieces."

Eight equal pieces...

One time.

Second time.

This makes four equal pieces, right?

Third...

Your task is

to not get the career officer involved in the investigations no matter what.

My name is Umizuki Chinami. Nice to meet you.

Both of you are unusable assets.

Me too?

The real culprit are you guys that tried to hide the bullying!

- Huh? - What...

Hey!!

Hey!!

- Sensei? - Are you all right?

Th... This concludes today's training.

Thank you very much.

Inspector Umizuki didn't put the handcuffs on the culprit

but on the headmaster that was there.

We were lucky that the headmaster handled this as an adult.

But this could have become a big problem otherwise.

Oh my, that's not a good thing.

Superintendent General, do you realize what this means?

This was about to become a big problem if this was to leak to the media.

You're right.

Please,

take care of this.

Thank you~

Yes.

- Please, excuse me. - Oh, Inoue. You've finally arrived.

Asking for me to come means that this must be a difficult situation.

Yes.

These were sent to me from my parents. They're very popular in Osaka lately.

Would you like to have one? I just microwaved them.

"Takoyaki Cream Puff"?

They combined Takoyaki and a Cream Puff.

The Takoyaki tastes better by itself.

Hello, the 18th squad.

Yes. Yes. Understood.

A body has been found in an apartment in Setagaya-ku Ooba.

Oh...

- Inspector Umizuki! - Yes.

May I also go into the field when I'm finished with cleaning?

No. Listen up everyone, Director Inoue would like to say something to all of you.

My name is Inoue. I have been stationed here as of Today.

Nice to meet you all.

Then, Director Inoue, please take care of things from here on.

Shitara! You should just take care of Inspector Umizuki.

- Let's go everyone! - Yes, Sir!

Inspector Umizuki, I have an important task that I would like you to do.

- An important task? - Yes.

All right!

Hello?

Oh, okasan? It's me.

Let's be careful!!

"The okasan, please help me, con."

Huh? Who is this?

- It's me. Me. - Huh?

Is that Yoshio? Are you Yoshio?

Yes, this is Yoshio.

All right, the first point! Right here!

Don't ever say the name of your child from your side.

The victim's name is Hirano Yuri, a 24 year old nurse.

It's exactly what it looks like. Her wrist is slit in the bathtub.

She most likely also took sleeping medication.

So, there's a possibility that this is a suicide.

Wouldn't there be some cuts that indicate hesitation if it was a suicide?

You're right. In a mystery novel, this is a typical case

where someone made a murder look like a suicide.

This is Yoshio. Kasan, I need some help.

What's the matter? What happened?

Kasan, please help me. I dropped and lost money from my company.

What! Oh my!?

All right, take note of this here!

It was around 8 o'clock yesterday evening.

I heard a man and a woman shouting at each other.

- Shouting at each other? - Yes.

Could you hear what they were saying?

I couldn't hear it so well...

But the man said "You absolutely can't", or something like that.

And the woman was crying.

Are you Yoshio-san's mother?

I'll take responsibility in bringing this to him.

Oh, please.

All right, right here~!

Never hand over the money to a stranger!

Continue.

Where's Yoshio? Where's Yoshio now?

Two cups.

- Could it be the person that she was arguing with? - That could be the case...

It would be good if we can get fingerprints from it.

Futaba-san.

Have a look at this.

There's another cake here...

It's the same kind of white cake.

I wonder why she threw one away?

Thank you for your work.

- Thank you for your work. - Inspector Umizuki, you were excellent.

Oh, well...

Shitara-san. There is this scene where you shout "Kasan, help me", right?

Please put some more feeling into that.

- I'm sorry. - All right then.

Then, see you again tomorrow.

What? Do we have to do this again tomorrow?

Huh? Didn't Director Inoue tell you that?

He told me that you're available until the end of the month.

- It's really a big help. - What?

The second investigation division doesn't have any spare people at the moment.

- Then, please excuse me. - Oh, um...

Until the end of the month?

"Kasan! Kasan, help me!" That's not it.

"Ka... Kasan. Kasan! Kasan, please help me".

Killed!?

Did Hirano Yuri-kun get killed?

Yes, her body was found this morning.

Killed?

I'm sorry to ask but...

This is Ryuichiro, my son.

He's also a doctor at this hospital.

What kind of nurse was Hirano-san?

What kind, you ask... She was a very passionate nurse.

This is the hosomen.

Inspector.

Should we go over the script for tomorrow?

I'm having a hard time understanding how a con artist should be.

I want to be able to act it out more realistically.

What is it?

I want to get out into the field.

All right.

Please, excuse me.

Hello, this is Inoue.

Yes, this is Shitara.

I'm counting on you to do the same for tomorrow.

It'll be your responsibility if Inspector Umizuki would show up in the field.

Yes, I understand that. Leave it up to me.

You said the exact same thing to Director Kuroki, didn't you?

You don't want to leave the first investigation division, right?

You won't get a second chance at this.

I might be mild when I'm talking to you but I'm very serious about this.

Are you not going to eat?

I had enough.

Metropolitan Police Department

"Investigation Report"

"Akase Hospital"

Two no-bake cheesecakes.

Good morning.

So, the one that got killed was a nurse.

- All right Inspector, let's go! - What?

Today I'll go with a V-Cinema style bad guy.

- Huh? - Shitara-san.

Today's costumes and props.

What? Costumes and props?

What is this for...?

Director Inoue said that the second investigation division

will be more pleased with these.

I had to franticly get a hold of all of this because he suddenly came with it. He's so bad at treating people.

Hello, the 18th squad.

Hey, is this Shitara?

Yes.

Why are you still at the 18th squad?

Hurry up and go already.

Understood! Right away. Right away...

- Ouch... It hurts. - Huh? What's the matter?

- My stomach hurts. - What? Are you all right, Inspector?

- I'm not all right. - What?

- It hurts, it hurts... - Should we go to the hospital?

Yes! Let's go to the hospital.

What?

Please, take care of this.

What!?

It hurts around here.

When did it start?

Um... About one week ago.

Oh, one week ago. That's not good.

Are you an office worker?

Huh? Well... yeah...

Could it be the stress?

Hmm... We don't know yet, we need to examine you first.

Examine?

Should we do that?

Yes, please.

Hello, is that Yoshio? Are you Yoshio?

Yes, this is Yoshio.

All right, the first point~! This is important here!

All right, hold your breath.

All right, let it go.

- We're going to examine you with this. - What? What are you going to do with it?

- We're going to insert this camera. - What!?

- Where? - It's going to be all right.

Is this really necessary?

We're doing this examination, just to be sure. Go ahead Kobayashi-kun.

- Did you investigate the chairman's office? - Why...?

That's because... Oh, excuse me.

We would like to go to the chairman's office.

I'm sorry to ask but who might you two be?

Why, why, why? Why are they here?

Oh!

Thank you very much. Please, excuse me.
