Kansatsui Asagao (Medical Examiner Asagao / 監察医 朝顔)

You must record properly!

I got it!

- Will it really appear? / - Stop it!

What's that? What's that?

Turn over it.

Bones... Bones!

- Let's go! - Hurry!

You may kiss the bride.

- Congratulations! - congratulations on your marriage!

- So beautiful / - It's great

- I feel like I don't want to get married. - I don't wanna.

Beautiful

- So beautiful. - Look over there!

- Itou-san, congratulations! - Maki-san, congratulations on your marriage.

He was caught by her like that though.

We promise we'll live happily together

You may kiss the bride

It was a really good ceremony

- Kuwahara-kun, you were crying too much/ - Somehow I was deeply moved by that.

Nee, we should do that too.

- I think Asagao would look good in a wedding dress - I would feel embarrassed.

I wanna see it! I wanna see it!

Your tension is too high.

Taira-san, you want to see it too right? How Asagao's wedding-dress would be?

That's not my business

Take a seat

dad also didn't do the ceremony, right?

After all, Asagao may choose a simple dress

And im sure you will take off the fluttery part of the wedding dress

- Right Taira-san? - Don't involve me

- Let's eat! - Let's eat!

This baumkuchen is really good!

Itou-san said that his wife told him to give us this as a treat.

- Taira-san you can eat this too. - Thank you.

Thanks for the meal.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Ah. is this Asagao's? Her height chart from when she was little?

Dad's is also there.

Taira-san. did you live here since you were young?

Look! There!

- When did you make that scratch? / - Middle school 3rd year.

- Middle school 3rd year!? You were that big! / - You should say sorry.

- I'm sorry. / - Ah. I want a drink

No.. no.. Asagao sit down. I'll get it for you.

- Ice coffee in the refrigerators front side. / - Okay.

- Barley tea for me. / - This?

- That's mentsuyu / - It's confusing.

So when will you move?

MOVE...

- We must register our marriage first. / - Register your marriage as soon as possible.

- We're busy / - We'll submit it next week

We'll submit it on August 8th so that will be easy to remember.

- August 8 / - Yes.

It's number 8 in one row that's mean the wedding will be prosperous, and also 8/8 is father day.

You said "Suehirogari" you said such old saying again.

Because the two of us have a day off only on that day.

Have you already found a place?

If you think about children, we should find a house, but the rent is high.

- You must decide soon! / - We got it.

Hello! This is Kuwahara.

I found another one.

Eh? Itou-san? Why are you here?

Ah. they called me. I came here in hurry. This way.

You better take a day off.

0-5 Ah.. I haven't said it yet to evenyohe, I will quit from this job during this month and take over my family house in Okayama.

This way.

I think this is my last case.

That's why I really want to do this job with everyone.

- This way. / - So that's why you were here?

It'll feel so lonely.

Huh.. Taira-san.

This. This way.

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

Probably two years have passed since this body died.

Two years...

- Is that? / - It was something that was attached on the bones.

Some of the clothes this body wore.

If this is the case. we don't know the identity yet.

Yeah. have animals scavenged it? There are no bones in some places.

We should contact forensics.

- You're right. - Okay.

It would be difficult to identify the cause of death, if we have only the bones to check;

It could be an unknown death.

- Unknown death? / - Yes.

We don't know what the reason behind the death is.

We just only know the fact that the body died, without knowing the cause.

When it becomes just white bones. we can't really know the cause.

I see.

Can't you find anything that can lead us to the identity of the body?

We have no choice but try to find it.

Certainly it seems to be difficult, we have only bones to check, right?

But there are many things that can be identified from the bones. Like gender or race

We can identify approximate age and height too.

Well, the only thing that we have to find the identity is from the teeth.

If you say about the teeth...

Sorry, I'm late one of my lectures ran for an-extended period of time:

Finally you came Emi!

Oh? Is it my turn?

- Eh? Asagao sensei. is it okay for you to be in here? / - Yeah.

We only have skeletal remains..

We don't use formalin, so I think it won't have any effect on your child.

- I'll stop right away if you feel sick. / - Okay.

If Mitsuko becomes a forensic doctor, Asagao-sensei can rest.

I 1000% won't be a forensic doctor I want to be a dermatologist in the future.

- You haven't given up yet? - Obviously.

I'm sorry, are these all bones that were found at the crime scene?

This isn't the bones of only one person.

- Eh? Really? / - As expected...

There are a mix of skeletal remains with very small bones.

Small bones? Does that mean a child's bones?

Okay, at 4:25 pm, we will perform autopsy number N634

Please tell us.

I'm counting on you.

Okay. let's start.

Todo sensei, please identify the unknown types of these bones.

It's about using the treatment marks on the teeth to identifying the identity, right?

- Yes / - It's not only that;

Teeth have information left over like a resume.

Yeah, when we identify the age of the body, teeth are more detailed than-bones.

Like the condition and the size of-the-nerve.

- Mitsuko-chan. - Yes!

We will arrange the remains to find out which part of the bones are missing.

Eh? We will arrange all of these?

And the dirty bones we must clean and remove the mud;

- Right, Okajima-san? / - Right, we're doing it now.

All of these?

-Thank you for your help / - Okay.

- There are quite a lot of small bones - Are the a child's bones?

Also based on the size they were about 3-4 years old?

If you say 3-4 years old, that's mean kindergarten?

I think younger than that.

And why did they come to such place?

Honestly...

This is a video posted on this site a year and half ago.

The first discoverer seems to have this video.

This video is being taken close to the body discovery site.

Also, it seems quite close to the estimated time of death.

There is a possibility that the body is this person's.

Don't decide it by yourself, Kuwahara!

There must be something that we can do until we get the results from forensics.

- Kuwahara-kun/ - Yes.

The vicinity of the site in cooperation with forensics. / - Okay.

- Then Miyazawa and Suzuki. / - (Okay.

You find eyewitnesses...

- Asagao-sensei, I'm counting on you / - Okay.

- Todo-sensei - What happened?

This is the left rib and the left tibia, right?

Both look as though they have had bone fractures.

Ah, that's right

I wonder if the leg got twisted?

But I think it's rare to haves leg fractufe just-from twisting it?

- You're right. Let's look Into it / - Okay...

- Is there any small bones like this? - Can I see?

Ah, as I expected.

Isn't this an animal's tail? Tail bone.

Tail?-/

- Tail? / - Oh, was that so?

Takahashi-san, can you identify what animal's bones these are with a DNA test?

Roger.

It's such a relief. That it's not a child's bone.

Excuse me, There's something I want to ask you about.

How far back can the recording of security camera go?

Hm.. I think“

I'm a police officer. Would you mind.

Do you know of anyone who was missing around here...

- I don't know. / - I don't know~

Excuse me, I would like to ask you something...

Have you heard any rumors about someone recently missing around this area?

Excuse me. I am a police...

Does that security camera over there still have recordings from two years ago?

I understand. Thank you.

Taira-san, as I expected, we can't get much information.

There isn't any footage remaining in any surveillance camera that I've checked

I see. Let's go around here a little bit before we go back to the office.

Okay. Taira-san, if you like, this is for you.

- Thanks. How much? / - No need. Ifs just a can of coffee.

- No. no. tell me how much is was. / .- 120 yen...

Is Asagao doing well?

YES.

Is she doing okay with morning sickness around this time?

Everyday she still goes to work.

Tell her to not force herself too much.

Please tell that to her directly.

I can't say that properly.

You will understand if you become a father to a daughter.

It feels like that?

You don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl yet, right?

We choose to not ask about our child's sex before delivery

Hence, we are having a trouble thinking of a good name

Look, we put a lot of tags in this.

Lately. there are many unique names. aren't there?

Taira-san, why did you chose Asagao for you daughter's name?

- Did you like morning glories*? / - Nope.

Asagao's name means morning glory

So. is it because of the number of strokes in the kanji? Or because you like its meaning in the language of flowers?

I didn't choose that name. Satoko named her.

She said she chose that name as soon as she looked at her newborn baby's face.

She immediately chose "Asagao"

At first. I opposed that, said, "now about name her with the more ordinary name?", but she insisted that she immediately wanted to name her baby Asagao

I think maybe there was another reason besides that.
