AKITO

You're saying my mother was killed by someone from the Yagami?

Perhaps mother-in-law knew what that something valuable was.

What is it you're looking for?

I'm going to Koizumi's house

but I want to see who's using that vacant lot now.

Brother-in-law, that's what's in that picture...

It's the house where my mother died.

Dad and I are the only ones who knows that it's still here.

Brother, I want you to find out who killed our mother.

I'll hunt the culprit down. I will make sure Akito is rescued.

Makio-san.

What are you doing here?

It's mine,

and no one else's.

So you were the killer?

You... kidnapped Akito

and killed my mother in this house, didn't you?

I want you to tell me

what people say to each other right before they die.

I...

love Kaede-san.

So do I.

Ah... Ah...

Huh?

There's no way that's going to happen.

Not really.

Who the hell are you?

Hey! Wait...

H... Help me, please. Ow! Ow! Ow!

Why are you doing this to an old man?

I'm not doing it that hard, you're exaggerating.

W... Who the hell are you people?

And who are you?

I'm the one who's in charge of this house.

Huh. Who gave it to you?

"Who?" Of course, Yagami-san.

Huh? Are you by any chance

Teiko-chan's son...

Yes, I am...

Hey, it's me. Imoto, I live behind this house.

You know, I used to go stag hunting with you.

Ah, could it be you, old man-Imo?

I see, so you're a veterenarian.

I see, I see, you've become a man.

Resident behind the Koizumi house

Imoto Masanori

My mother was supposed to have

taken care of this house after my grandmother died.

Teiko-chan came to clean the house once in a while,

but she couldn't do it all the time.

So she asked me to check on it from time to time.

After my mother passed away, were you always in charge?

Yes, I am.

You said earlier that you were asked by Yagami-san,

but who in the Yagami family?

That would be Teiko-chan's husband.

Because he wanted to keep this house.

He asked me if I could continue to manage it.

Did he say why he was leaving it to you?

Hmm... It seemed to me that Teiko-chan's younger son

had more of an attachment to her

than Yagami-san had intended.

Akito...

Yes, yes, Akito-san.

He showed up here unexpectedly once before.

- Eh? You've met him? - Yeah, maybe three or four years ago.

When I saw the lights on in this house a while ago,

I thought it would be Akito-san,

but I was surprised to find out it wasn't him.

By the way, young lady, that was impressive.

Next thing I know, I'm being pinned down.

- I didn't know what I was doing. I'm sorry. - No, it's okay.

I can't believe I'm being grabbed by such a beautiful woman.

It's not often you get that.

You're a lucky man.

You've got such a pretty lady.

- No, she's Akito's wife. - Huh?

My name is Kaede.

Ah, yes, I see.

Akito-san's handsome, so they're a perfect match.

Thank you very much.

"Am I not a good match for you?" I'll have to put up with those words.

So what was Akito doing here?

I'm sure he was thinking about Teiko-chan.

He was just staring at me with a blank look on his face.

I saw him in the bathroom where Teiko-chan was found dead.

Was there anyone else in the house besides father-in-law, mother-in-law,

and Akito-kun?

Teiko-chan's sister, Junko-chan, used to come here a few times,

but I haven't seen her since Teiko-chan passed away.

Did anyone else come by?

Well, let's see.

A person who claimed to be a relative of Teiko-chan's came to visit the house once.

- Who was it? - Yagami...

What's her name again?

A beautiful woman.

Is it Namie-san?

No.

Aunt Shoko.

Not her either.

- Sayo-san? - Yes, yes, that person.

Someone named Yagami Sayo-san.

- When was she here? - Before Teiko-chan passed away.

She said that Teiko-chan asked her to do something for her.

To do what exactly?

Well, I didn't ask for any details.

I lent her a duplicate key that I had.

She came back about an hour later.

You lent it to her!? I can't believe you just let her in without asking.

No, no. The day before, Teiko-chan called me and said,

"Someone named Sayo-san is coming to visit, please lend her the key."

You're gonna be okay.

Wow, amazing!

Eh? Did you find any hints?

Ah, no. It's not a hint, but

This is brother-in-law's father Kazukiyo-san's work, isn't it?

- Yes. - It's all one book.

- What? That's what this is about? - Even the painting of that hat. Look.

Son

So what else did you find?

No, nothing specific to the case.

Was mother-in-law and Sayo-san that close in the first place?

No, I've never even seen those two talked to each other.

When she borrowed the key from Imoto-san,

Sayo-san must have been able to make a duplicate key.

Yes, using the duplicate key,

she could have killed my mother and locked up Koizumi's house from the outside.

She's suddenly become the most likely suspect, isn't she, Sayo-san?

Yes, but why did my mother lend Sayo-san the key to that house?

- Is this Sayo-san's? - Yes.

I got it at the family meeting.

Konosuke-san's mistress,

who, according to Aunt Shoko,

killed Konosuke's second wife and joined the Yagami family.

If that's true, then Sayo-san is really something, isn't she?

What do you want to do? Do you want to go to her club and ask her directly?

And asked "You killed my mother, didn't you?"

No, let's not do that yet.

Now that we have a possible suspect,

we need to be discreet. - Yes, you're right.

I'm sure the high-end clubs in Ginza are going to charge a lot of money.

- There's that too. - But then what are we going to do?

There's someone I need to talk to before I see Sayo-san.

EPISODE 7

"The Adopted Daughter's Secret"

- I'm sorry. I know it's early in the morning. - You want to see my brother.

Are you now worried about the parents who raised you?

Well, something like that.

Please don't eavesdrop.

I would never do anything so tactless.

Yasuharu-san.

Yagami-san. Yasuharu-san.

Please wake up. It's me, Hakuro.

Do you recognize me? I'm Teiko's son.

Can you hear me?

There's something I'd like to ask you.

I saw the Koizumi house. Was my mother killed?

Was it Sayo-san who killed my mother?

Did you give my mother anything "of value" beyond the 3 billion inheritance?

Please wait, don't sleep yet, last question.

Eh?

Hmm?

Yasuharu-san, what do you mean by this? Yasuhara-san!

Don't hold a grudge, Akito

Don't hold a grudge, Akito

Did you get what you came for?

What are you talking about?

You wouldn't come alone

to visit my brother without a purpose.

Would it be considered cynical to think so?

Every human being has their own whims.

Well, let's just leave it at that.

Have you found Makio-san?

No.

Now you care about my younger brother, too?
