Watashi No Kirai Na Tantei (The Private Detective That I Don't Like / 私の嫌いな探偵)

Understood.

And could I ask for your name please?

My name is Tadokoro.

Tadakoro-san, what a nice name.

Thank you.

...And your dog who went missing, what's her name?

Ahhh...Her name is Stephanie.

Stephanie, what a great name.

She has really beautiful fur too. - Yeah...

Oh and what were you willing to pay for the investigation?

You can name a price. - Thank you!

Okay well, that's all for today. I'll go over to your house tomorrow morning.

Before then please prepare her favourite foods

and toys too.

Okay. I really hope you'll be able to get her back for me...

DOn't worry! We'll definitely find her.

Thank you for your assistance.

Leave it to us.

Thank you.

Oh by the way, why do you have a band-aid on your face?

Ahh I fell over when I was looking for Stephanie.

Oh really? Try to be more careful.

See you tomorrow.

Please watch the steps on your way out.

Thank you.

Kuu! You can take as much as you want for your success fee!

Don't get so excited about that kind of thing Ryuhei-kun!

It's unprofessional!｡ - Wow you're shaking.

Why'd you take that case?

What're you gunna do about the case Detective Sunagawa gave you just before?

I've told you so many times Ms. Landlord.

I don't do murder incidents.

Some politician was just given a death threat, who cares.

That's not very detective-like of you. All you care about is money.

When did I ever say anything about money?

You saw the old guy before, right?

To him Stephanie is like a family member.

I want to search for an old person's only family member

even if it's a dog. It's not about the money.

I just want to help out a senior citizen. That's all there is to it.

Excuse me.

My dog Shasha suddenly disappeared and...

What breed is it? - It's a mix.

Go home please!

Eee-!

So where is Tadokoro's mansion then?

Ahhh the houses around here

all look the same so...

That's why we should've taken a taxi here.

You usually never use taxis though?

It's all about running costs. This time doesn't matter

so much in that department. - If only we could find this

Yumemidai Real Estate place we'd almost be there.

Ah, isn't that it?

Ahh! Yep, that's it.

So we go in here and

It's just ahead up there. - Ouou.

OI~!

Wow...This place is nice.

This is a pretty typical rich-person's house. - Wow there's heaps of snow on it.

Snow fell because you're here. - But I'm more of a clear weather guy?

Ahh! There's an umbrella here. Let's borrow it.

He won't come out because you're ringing it.

It makes the same sound no matter who buzzes it.

He lives alone right? - Yeah that's what he was saying.

Maybe he went shopping?

He looked like a pretty reliable guy though...

Tadokoro-san! Tadokoro-san!

It's Ukai from Ukai Private Detective Agency!

How strange. - Yeah...

Tadokoro-san...Tadokoro-san... Are you here?

Does this mean he wants us to investigate ourselves?

Nah, I don't think that's it. - Ee?

Is it okay if we just walk in like this?

Tadokoro-san!

Tadokoro-san!

N?

What's the matter, Ukai-san?

Un.

I wonder if he made this himself?

It's cold.

Looks like he just went shopping somewhere close.

I wonder about that? - Ee, you don't think he is?

I mean the TV has been left on and

The nabe is kind of cold but it might be left over from yesterday...

That's true but you've overlooked

something very, very important.

Ee...What?

Ahh... How about that his house is really clean

for a single, old person?

No, not that. Look around you!

It's the lights...

The lights have been left on, Ryuhei-kun

Ms. Landlord, what are you here for?

What's so weird about the lights being on?

Have you ever heard of a person who turns their lights on in the morning?

Especially in a house with this much natural light?

N? Which means...

Tadokoro-san left last night and hasn't come back yet.

Ahhh... He left the lights on and

went out into the neighborhood where he was involved in some kind of incident.

Or maybe I'm over thinking this?

Let's go.

The client isn't here so there's nothing we can do.

Ukai-san, this is definitely a murder.

That's ridiculous. Even if it were I'd want nothing to do with it.

This is really obviously an incident why

are you leaving it? You're meant to be a detective!

I'll leave it be. If it's OBVIOUSLY an incident you should report it the police.

Our job was to find his dog, that's it. - Let's investigate!

No. - We're gunna!

No, we're not. - He probably has a lot of assets to leave behind...

I'm sure of it. - Let's do it then!

Listen Ryuhei-kun. This bird woman thinks that

Tadokoro-san has been killed.

But I don't think that's the case at all.

I don't either. - So I'll leave Stephanie to you.

Roger!

I'm not thinking about what his family will give me if we

find him at all either,

I just want to make sure that Tadokoro-san is safe.

Which is why I can't ignore all of these

discrepancies. You understand, right?

Yeah. Don't worry I'll definitely find Stephanie!

Thanks.

Ukai-san, when you're lying you actually talk a lot.

Lie? Just when did I lie about something?

Alright, where should we start investigating this murder from?

Hey, can you not just

decide it's a murder without any basis?

Otto! It's looking a little more likely now!

I don't think you should get too excited yet.

I know, I know! I won't let the police steal our thunder.

I'm definitely solving this one. Fufu!

Did you hear any car breaks going off or anything?

Nah, I didn't hear a thing. - Oh, I see...

Thanks for your co-operation, sorry for interrupting.

No problem.

Detective Sunagawa! - Oh, hey Akemin!

Why are you around here so early?

The same goes for you Detective, you must be busy. - Yeah I really am.

Apparently at night there was a hit and run here.

Hee A hit and run?

Who was the victim?

It was my old man.

This is Detective Ukai from Ukai Private Detective Agency

And that's his office's landlord.

Landlord?

This is Yumemidai Real Estate's oldest son, Eisuke Fujiwara.

Is your father alright?

I'm completely fine!

I told you we didn't need to call the police.

Hey~... - It's natural to call them!

I won't feel right until we find the criminal and make him pay your medical bills.

I told you it doesn't even need medical attention!

All of you hurry up and leave.

It doesn't matter if your injuries are minor sir,

Hit and runs are a very serious crime.

Fine, do whatever you want then.

Wow he's cranky.

He's like a male Matsuko Deluxe.**

** Extremely popular cross-dressing Japanese Talent

Matsuko-san IS a man. - Ee?

Can you give us any more details?

Ms. Landlord, this has nothing to do with us!

This all definitely has something to do with Mr. Tadokoro being killed.

Why is the landlord doing all the questioning?

That's a very good question. - Actually this girl is

a landlord and university student by day but she's

also an assistant at Ukai Private Detective Agency!

Nice to meet you~!

It was at around 3am.

I was using the computer upstairs and

I heard some breaks go off outside.

Then I heard my Dad let out a yelp

and when I went downstairs he said a car had hit him.

Just here.

The driver realized they had hit him and stopped once but

Instead of getting out and apologizing

they backed up and drove off.

Oh...Do you know the number plate?

My dad was pretty drunk when he came back so

he doesn't remember...

And what type of car was it?

He said it was just a sedan.

Ok, got it. I'll investigate the tire marks too.

I'll also see if anyone in the area witnessed it.

Thanks. Ah, excuse me.

Have you got an allergy? - Yeah.

And you're left handed?

Yeah!

Okay well, I'll leave the investigation to the pros.

Nee nee. What was that about?

The allergy and the left hand thing?

What are you talking about?

I bet this'll come up at the end of the episode again.

I better write down those two things.

Oh...By the way Detective...

N? - What happened with the death threat to the politician?

Ahhh it sounded like a prank so I left it to Miki.
