Tokusou 9: Season 3 (Tokusou Nine: Season 3 / 特捜9 season3)

Here we go.

We are here again for this week.

Magicians Lie...

Look through the magician's trick for 1 million yen!

This week's challenger is still the one from last week...

Egami Shuhei!

To continue with,

he is the one who was defeated last week!

Will he able to take his revenge!?

With a marvelous cosmic power...

Here is Mysterio Tono!

With a marvelous cosmic power...

Amazing!

Mysterio Tono.

Amazing! It's really amazing.

Every future is written here.

It's the book of ancient Solomon.

Can I see that?

Be careful.

If you touch the wrath of an ancient document,

it will be a disaster...

Water.

I got it.

Egami-san...

Egami-san!?

Hang on... What's going on!?

I don't know!

Are you okay!?

Are you okay?

Record it.

Are you okay!?

Egami-san!

Are you okay?

Call an ambulance!

Please call for an ambulance!

Are you okay!? Egami-san!

Egami-san!

What is this!?

What's wrong?

Eh...

It's getting interesting.

Oh, over here!

Thank you for the hard work.

Oh? Look at you.

A citizen is not allowed to enter here.

No, I'm Shindo.

I know that.

Oh! What's with your clothes? Did you mother choose that?

Pardon? I bought this for myself.

What? Is this how you look during your private matters?

You think it's weird? This is relatively expensive, though.

It's not the matter of price here.

Well, I mean, I don't think my style goes well with anyone.

You shouldn't wear like this.

I think... it's good for you.

What is it this time?

Thank you for the hard work.

Thank you for the hard work.

Oh?

Did your mother choose that?

What? Are you in a time loop?

Hey, Shindo. Where is the crime scene?

Oh, this way, please.

You shouldn't wear that.

What's this? Are you in a time loop?

What's wrong?

A Murder In The Castle

The victim was Egami Shuhei-san.

He was working at Maruya Security Agency.

What's the situation at the time of his death?

During the showdown with magician Mysterio Tono,

Egami-san suddenly started to have pain.

What? A showdown?

I mean, not that one.

A program which if you find out the professional magician's trick, you'll get 1 million yen.

So it's that kind of showdown.

I wanted to appear in this program, too.

Finally, I was able to see it...

Enough of that. Just keep going.

Last week...

Mysterio Tono's magic was discovered by Egami-san.

Today is the revenge plan...

...and the prize money was 5 million yen.

But Mr. Egami coughed violently during the showdown,

so he drank water.

And smoke came out from his mouth.

What? Smoke from his mouth?

He suddenly drank water?

Yes.

Who gave the water?

Did you give water to Egami-san?

During break between recordings,

I always have prepared water plastic bottles.

Oh, then it's one of those?

Yes.

Can anyone go in and out during the production?

Yes.

It's not locked...

What?

Does that mean someone might have...

...invaded the production studio and poisoned it?

That is...

Before the program started, I went to call Egami-san...

Egami-san?

You wait!

Are you okay!?

Was it an intruder on the dressing room?

Egami-san didn't know that stranger.

But he was not physically afflicted, so I didn't worry.

That invader poisoned Egami-san...?

When Egami-san died,

you looked right in front of him, weren't you?

Could you tell us the situation?

Curse of ancient Solomon's book...

What?

A curse?

You see...

Please provide us a serious answer.

Aoyagi-san.

He found out your trick last week, right?

Hey.

Don't tell me you're trying to say that I killed him?

Oh, he's angry.

Is that what you really are?

I didn't do anything.

Suddenly, that old man fell down.

I heard after he drank water, he exhaled smoke and fell down.

Didn't you do something magic on it?

What's up? What's wrong with you?

Don't touch me.

- Did you see it just now? - No.

What kind of magic did Tono-san plan to do?

I haven't heard about that.

What?

You're the producer of this show, aren't you?

You didn't have a meeting in advance?

Hey, you. Please put that down.

I mean, there are many access to our program's social media.

I don't care about that now.

Someone was dead, right?

Did you find anything different or worrisome from last week?

We just receive complaints on our program, I think.

A complaint?

I mean, it's not really a big deal, though.

After all, someone use magic to put poison in the water?

But even if someone could do that,

anyone...

That someone can just kill anyone as many as it wants.

What are you doing since a while ago?

I have a bit stomachache.

What?

Hang on.

Excuse me.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.

The clean smoke had really gone up.

Call an ambulance!

Please call for an ambulance!

Are you okay!? Egami-san!

That startled me!

What is it?

Should we stop the investigation again?

It's the opposite.

What?

The murder was broadcast live all over the world.

The public is paying attention to this case.

That's why I'm hoping for it to be resolved as soon as possible.

Tell me about the progress.

Here are the data from the forensics.

Here's the autopsy results.

It was found out that Egami Shuhei-san died from suffocation.

What?

Suffocation?

When he released smoke that much?

Wasn't he was poisoned?

To be exact,

acute upper airway obstruction due to inhalation burn.

Inhalation burn?

The throat got burned, edema occurred after,

then the airway was blocked.

The throat?

Why?

Egami surely fell down after drinking water.

No. There were no poison detected in the water.

Would it be possible to burn one's throat just by drinking water?

We'll check about that again.

- We're asking you. - We're asking you.

I will also check for some things.

We're asking you for those.

Shindo-kun.

Yes, sir.

Did you see it in front of you?

Notwithstanding,

you didn't know how the crime was committed.

We don't know the trick yet, but we've been eyeing for the culprit.

What?

Amazing cosmic power, wasn't it?

Do you doubt Mysterio Tono?

When Egami was killed, he was on his side, wasn't he?

He used that so-called amazing cosmic power.

You concluded him as the culprit without solid evidence?
