Naniwa Junior Detectives

If I catch you You won't escape

The sad story of an abandoned child

A maddening destiny, confronting Teacher Shinobu

I'm Teacher Shinobu

Mom What did you do?

I'm sure we can glue the pieces

Glue?

You don't glue this

I'm 25 now

I left our cramped home To live on my own

Mom, what are you doing here all the time?

You abandoned the shop And your family

You're neglecting your responsibilities as a housewife

What is ...

Please don't come here anymore

You understand get out of here - Shinobu-chan

Mom, get out of here - Shinobu-chan ..

Get out

I got it

I won't come back again

Get out

Everyone has something

Very important to protect

In the case of my mom This DVD

In the case of my dad His remaining hair

As for Tanaka And Mr. Honma What is precious

What are you doing I was here before

Don't lie I was here before

And for this kid The popular Ranger Uo

No I want Dragon Hunter - Yes, please

Wait ... It's all right like this

Excellent

Your change

I'm gonna tell

I'm going to tell Teacher Shinobu You are that type of man - Teacher Shinobu?

There's no need for such ...

...That Mr. Honma is such a small man

How is Teacher Shinobu going to consider you?

Hey, wait

Someone stole your game?

You're all alike ... Dumb

But, he was very swift

He snatched it in a flash ... then he was gone

That shop in front of the station?

No way ... teacher

Such a cute, depressed student I can't remain indifferent

You can count on me, I'll catch him

But Ms. Shinobu That brat..

Well ... that child Is a really fast

Mr. Honma Who do you think I am?

I'm the big Shinobu

No one can match my speed

It's like a maze around here Are we safe?

Thinking about it He probably went that way

Teacher, turn here right

Teacher Shinobu ... it's him

Darn He is fast indeed

Teacher Shinobu and the homeless kids

Excuse me

Sorry ... what's going on?

Teacher? Leave some space

Mina-chan's parents Are renting to a person

Who was killed? How did you guess?

Because it's their specialty

My stepdad is talking to them there

Your stepfather? - My mother's second husband

His 20 years older than her He is all fat and sweaty

He's not very determined

He's the landlord?

Well, you could say that it's only $250 for two apartments

Teacher Shinobu

Teacher, he is beckoning your darling of love

Teacher, let's go quickly

A woman should not stay in such a dangerous place

You too girls go back It's not a place for you

The victim is Toshio Arakawa Unemployed, 38-year-old

He moved here Six months ago

He didn't officially fill the documents

He bled to death due to a stab wound in the belly

It's the stab pattern of a single-edged knife

What kind of single-edged knife?

You know that? The usual type

Sashimi knife, kitchen knife type

And then, there's only one stab wound

You found the murder weapon?

We looked all around Couldn't find it

The murder took it with him

How long ago was he killed?

Judging from postmortem lividity and rigor mortis

He's been dead for 40~50 hours

It means he's been killed about 2 days ago

The neighbor found him

Kids were playing, driving nails in the wall

The mother came to apologize she saw the victim lying in his blood

That was today at 12:30 - The key?

It seems it wasn't locked - Did anyone see or hear anything?

A housewife next door said someone came

at about 16:00, 2 days ago

She heard voices and loud thud noises

That's all she remembers

But the walls are thin

I wonder if the sound of the nails could've been heard too?

It's not a question of what is heard inside But from outside

And I hear you too much from the outside

Does he have kids?

He divorced six months ago He was living with two kids

Until recently a boy was seen here

What you mean "was seen"?

He disappeared 2-3 days ago

He disappeared?

Mr. Urui the landlord is waiting

He was like 3 months late on the rent

You didn't go ask him?

I went there, he promised he would pay

When is the last time you went to see him?

I think it was about a week ago

His little boy was there?

Not at that time

We just got in touch with his divorced wife

When my stepfather and my mother fight

Even when it's not his fault, he apologizes

In most cases, he apologizes

If surrounded with inspectors He won't know what to say

Teacher, do you think what I say is strange?

It's all right, your father is not the only one like that

He's not my father he is my stepfather

Hi mom, I'm back

Welcome back Where have you been?

Wait

Hi - Teacher

Mr. Arakawa was driving long-haul trucks

About a year ago

He had a drunk driving accident

The company fired him

You mean he was fired because of the accident

Then he didn't have the energy to work anymore

He was loafing around the house all day

You divorced six months ago

I had no choice

He said he was going to keep our son no matter what it takes

I just couldn't forgive him that

What happened is terrible

What is your occupation?

I'm an insurance salesperson

Where were you at around 4 pm the day before yesterday

At around 4 pm?

Well ..

Hirano Ward, I had to meet a customer

I see

Thank you

One more thing

Do you know where his son is?

He does appear 2 or 3 days ago

Would he be at your place? - No, he's not there

What do you mean he disappeared?

Do you know where he could be?

No

Teacher, I've had enough

What are you saying? Don't you feel bad he ran away like that

The truth is you feel bad

What did you say? - Nothing

Mr. Honma, you're not working

Grown-ups have paid holidays you know

Darn I'll catch him and defeat the police

If he lives in this neighborhood

He probably goes to Higashioji school

That's a great insight

We can go there and talk To the teacher's colleagues

I'll pass on this

Maybe he stole just once stupidly

Before reporting to his school It turns into a serious educational issue

What?

Teacher Shinobu you are great

Right now I was thinking just the same

It's just the kid's mistake We should help sort it out

That's the way I feel too

Mr. Honma, I'll help you with all my heart

Even Teacher Haruna ... how come?

It's my way to thank you for the bouquet of roses

They're beautiful are they for me?

Not exactly

The fact is

Teacher Shinobu

Such coincidence to find you here

What are you doing here the "elite salaryman"? You should be at work now

It's a day off How about you? Lazing around

Obviously I'm working

You are working on this murder? At Minako's apartments

Right ... you guys Do you know this boy?

We know him

So, he is the son of the murder victim

It seems he disappeared Around the time of the accident

It is quite possible this kid knows something

We need to find him absolutely

He is probably at Higashioji school We should ask them

We did ... he doesn't go to school

It seems that since they moved here

the father did not even fulfill the proceedings for his schooling

What kind of parent ...?
