TAGUSARI bros. (田鎖ブラザーズ)

I wanted a job where I could make things.

Like my dad.

The pain the victim felt,

and the pain the perpetrator feels…

Now, they're equal.

They're even.

Nice and even.

MINORU - CALL ME TSUDA'S NOTEBOOK IS MISSING

Excuse me, please don't look.

Hello, sir.

Mr. Tagusari, where did you go?

Who is the body?

Takamichi Uno.

Uno recently submitted his resignation letter.

So he did this to be with his wife.

It's too early to jump to conclusions.

Uno was caught on a surveillance camera near Ayaka Nishiura's apartment.

There is no doubt that Uno killed her.

- What? - Really?

After finishing his revenge, Uno…

Hello.

- Hello. - Hey.

A fatal fall?

Yes.

Takamichi Uno, 50 years old, male.

We got a report of him falling around 6:00 p.m.

We secured the scene and…

It's a suicide.

This one has no foul play.

- I'm taking a look at the roof. - Okay.

Oh, Dr. Kiritani.

Please handle the autopsy procedures.

Yes.

Don't add extra work for us.

However you look at it, it's suicide.

I'm just doing my job.

Uno's revenge is over. That's why he…

I told you before.

I'm only interested in the truth.

- Uno jumped from the building! - You want it to be suicide that badly?

- That is the truth. - It's not.

Minoru.

This isn't suicide.

It's murder.

All of this began three years ago.

Ms. Ayaka Nishiura was driving a car,

when she struck Yoko Uno, who had jumped out into the road,

and killed her.

And the other day,

Ms. Nishiura was murdered inside a moving car

by carbon monoxide poisoning.

The suspect is Yoko's husband,

Takamichi Uno.

CCTV footage confirmed that the man who tampered with Ms. Nishiura's car

was Uno.

We believe he held a grudge over losing his wife, and did it for revenge.

However, yesterday around 6:00 p.m.,

Takamichi Uno fell from a building.

He was found dead.

Examiner Tagusari!

Normally, in the case of a jump,

the body lands directly beneath the building.

On the other hand, if a person is pushed,

they fall in a parabolic arc,

so the landing point tends to be a certain distance away from the building.

The body was found directly beneath the building, right?

Takamichi Uno struck something before landing.

He struck something?

There were abrasions on his head,

which matched the bloodstains found on the wall of the adjacent building.

It is likely that Uno hit the neighboring building,

then landed directly underneath this one.

Based on the above,

it is highly likely that this fatal fall was a homicide.

We have to find witnesses, trace his steps after quitting his job,

and recover the data from his damaged smartphone. Hurry!

Yes, sir!

What is it?

May I check the alibi of Takumi Agatsuma?

Ayaka Nishiura's fiancé?

Agatsuma has more than enough motive.

It's pointless.

It hasn't been made public that Uno killed Nishiura.

But, if we consider people who may have a grudge against Uno,

I think he is the most likely candidate.

True, we can't ignore Agatsuma.

However, drop your preconceptions.

If you label someone a suspect, that's all you'll see.

Understood.

Anyone checked the cameras?

Yes!

But we haven't found a suspect yet.

Mr. Agatsuma,

where were you yesterday around 6:00 p.m.?

Yesterday, I went with…

My parents to the real estate agency to cancel the lease on my place,

then went home.

After that, were you alone?

Yes.

That's enough.

Excuse me.

Mr. Tagusari.

WELFARE OFFICE CONSULTATIONS COME TALK TO ME ANYTIME!

KANAGAWA POLICE

RECOVERED DATA FROM APPS TELESEEK

Mr. Tagusari!

Ms. Kudo is here to see you.

It's about Detective Tagusari.

Don't you think he has been acting weird lately?

Lately?

He is often unreachable and abruptly cuts investigations short.

I know he thinks of things as a hassle, but this feels different.

When did it start bothering you?

After he went to the city hall, I think.

The city hall?

The welfare consultant there doesn't sit right with me.

Now, three of her consultees have become murder suspects.

Takumi Agatsuma,

Takamichi Uno, and Atsuko Narita.

Narita?

The mother from the case of the AI grading error.

The one I'm stuck on is the mother.

I saw a TeleSeek notification on her phone.

That app that doesn't store message history?

Could it be that the consultant urged the three of them to commit murder?

What is her name?

It's Sayoko Hatano.

WELFARE CONSULTANT

Only the bereaved who have lost their loved ones…

Why?

Why must they be the ones to continue suffering?

KANAGAWA POLICE MAKOTO TAGUSARI

- Ms. Hatano. - Yes?

A Mr. Tagusari is here for you.

Okay.

So you are Minoru, his younger brother?

I heard from Makoto that you work as a forensics examiner.

You're so talented for your age.

What did you talk to him about?

Are you curious?

Yes, I am.

You majored in criminal psychology. What could he be talking about with you?

I'm sorry, I inquired with your university.

Could you tell me?

I can't disclose my consultation...

This is also a consultation.

I am consulting about my brother.

I listened to what was at his core.

I'm sure those are things he could never tell anyone, not even you.

What's at his core.

But…

You have them too, don't you?

Things you can't tell your older brother?

I don't. Not really.

If you want my counsel, you must not lie.

COME TALK TO ME ANYTIME!

Hatano might have been inciting the murders.

Even if she led them to commit crimes,

it would be difficult to build a legal case.

I'll probe into her background with First Division.

Please do.

Oh, where is Tagusari?

He's not feeling well.

Since that day, Makoto has always protected you, right?

You were still so young.

It's no wonder you shut yourself away, Minoru.

But, you knew…

Didn't you?

What your brother, who was only seven, had been carrying since that day.

Aside from the incident,

Makoto had to fill the void left by your deceased parents.

His daily life,

his studies and future.

He prioritized you over himself, didn't he, Minoru?

And you began to feel guilty about that.

Thinking that you couldn't do anything for your brother.

It's almost like

you saw my whole life story.

But…

There is something you can do.

There are things that only you can do.

However, I'll be the one to do it.

I will carry him at the end.

This time,

won't you tell me what's at your core, Minoru?

You should take it.

All right. Excuse me.

Oh, they hung up.

It's an unknown number.

A spam call?

- I see. - Right.

There are a lot of scams lately, so be careful.

Oh, sorry.

I'll go get a cloth.

Makoto?

What are you doing here?

What about you?

We need to talk.
