The first 200 lines.
This world is filled with vermin.
Look at this!
Look at all these people lined up!
This is Ristorante Minegishi,
the restaurant that everyone's talking about right now.
Luxurious French cuisine at a reasonable price has proven to be a winning combination!
Kunitachi Kenji, Chef at Ristorante Minegishi
The popular Ristorante Minegishi
featuring surprisingly low prices
This is a large, grilled beef fillet in truffle sauce, right?

Maesaka Beef Fillet in Truffle Sauce
The Maesaka beef fillet costs 1,500 yen.
Ise Shrimp Terrine
The Ise shrimp terrine is 600 yen.
It's the owner's policy.
Even if the ingredients are expensive, use them plentifully.
But also work as hard as you can to lower the price.
The results are these dishes.
And this is that owner,
hailed as the revolutionary of French cuisine, Minegishi Kunio.
I always tell my chefs to use more and more expensive ingredients, without limits.

But I also work hard to lower prices, without limits.
Delicious food makes people happy.
It is not only for wealthy people.
I'm doing my best to let everyone fully enjoy luxurious tastes,
without limits.
Thank you.
Yes? Yes.
I'm still at home.
No, I'm not slacking off.
Not with work, but the way I live my life?
Right. Understood.
I hate this. I wanna die.
The scum of society that prowl under cover of darkness,
can be encouraged to reform.
Corrective Enforcement.
And there is a department solely responsible
for everything from judgment to execution.
That is...
...the Police Agency Special Crime Prevention Section.
Or "Tokubou" for short.

Episode 1
Yoshioka Tsutomu, twenty-six years old.
Employed at an automobile parts factory.
Cause of death?
Unknown.
When the owner of the apartment, Tsumura Ai, woke up this morning,
he was apparently already dead.
Well, it was probably from some illness.
I don't think there's anything for us to do here.
There are no exterior wounds and nothing points to foul play.
"The cause of death was an illness, so there's no case."
Not necessarily so.
Who the hell are you?
This room is off limits to everyone but police officers.
Oh, it's okay. This man is an inspector from headquarters.
An inspector?
Metropolitan Police Department
Toshima Police Station
Criminal Investigation Division
Captain Takashimizu
Sergeant Bushizawa Yoshihito
Officer Tsuji Keiichi
Inspector
And you're from headquarters?
Asakura Souhei. Good to meet you.
I apologize for my rudeness. I'm Sergeant Bushizawa.
I'm Officer Tsuji Keiichi!
I'm sorry to bother you now,
but would you tell me what happened yesterday?
Yes.
There was a restaurant Yoshioka-san wanted to try,
so we met up there at 5:00 PM.
They don't take reservations,
so it seemed like he was waiting in line for the longest time.
Cheers!
It was our first date.
And then this happened...
This must be hard for you.
Excuse me, but what's the name of that restaurant?
Ristorante Minegishi.
I know that place. Right now, it's—
Was the food good?
What did you eat?
We started with wine.
We had a scallop and caviar salad,
Ise shrimp terrine, butter-roasted whitefish,
and then Maesaka beef fillet covered in truffle sauce...
Grilled?
That's right.
Did it look like Yoshioka-san also enjoyed the food?
Yes. But...
After dinner, he drove me home...
But he didn't seem well.
Are you okay? You seem really sick.
I just need to lie down.
And when you woke up, he was dead.
Did Yoshioka-san have any conditions that you know of?
He said that he had severe asthma when he was a child.
Any allergies?
He said he couldn't eat soybeans.
A soy allergy...
He had an allergic reaction when he was a baby,
so he's always very careful not to eat soybeans.
But he asked the waiter about it when we ordered.
So he didn't eat any.
He didn't eat them at the restaurant...
Just because he didn't eat them,
doesn't necessarily mean he didn't eat them.
Right.
Do you know of a good ramen shop in this neighborhood?
Our most popular item: Chashu Ramen
The chashu ramen is good here.
Two chashu ramen!
Yes.
Take the chashu pork out of one of them.
Then that makes it regular ramen...
I don't eat meat.
Instead, add two soft-boiled eggs, please.
Sure.
You should've told me before.
Why ramen?
I've got it! Yoshioka-san ate soybeans at a ramen shop, didn't he?
Then it had to be miso ramen!
He ate that?
I don't know. Isn't that why you asked me about a ramen shop?
No. I was just hungry.
You're kidding me.
I wanna die.
That's just something I say. Think nothing of it.
Impossible. I can't understand him at all.
Um... Your name is Tsujita-kun, right?
It's Tsuji.
Tsujita-kun, right?
Tsuji.
Do you think there are a lot of evil vermin in this world?
Vermin?
Vermin that run rampant in society.
You mean criminals?
No, they don't necessarily have to be criminals.
But vermin...
...are vermin.
Metro Police Department, Toshima Police Station
According to Yoshioka Tsutomu's autopsy,
there were traces of soybeans in his stomach.
So it was a soy allergy!
Cause of death was an allergic reaction to soybeans.
Apparently, he ate them without noticing
and died because he dismissed the reaction as an illness.
Strange.
The girl insisted he didn't have any at the restaurant.
Then that raises the possibility of someone slipping it into his food.
Tsumura Ai (25) dating Yoshioka Tsutomu (26)
Was it murder?
Tsuji, about today,
you're partnering up with the guy from headquarters.
Help with their investigation.
You mean Inspector Asakura?
That's right. He requested you personally.
I have no idea what's going through that man's mind.
Tsuji, you've become a key person to the Toshima Police Station.
What are you talking about? That's an exaggeration.
Idiot. You don't understand the nature of an organization.
If the people upstairs hate you, none of us have a future.
Bushizawa is right.
For the sake of our department, and the sake of everyone here,
win Inspector Asakura's trust!
Do whatever he tells you. Do not defy him!
The future of the Toshima Police Station is riding on your shoulders.
Okay.
Speak of the devil! There he is.
Why did we come to Ristorante Minegishi?
According to Tsumura Ai's testimony, he didn't have any soybeans here.
Never mind.
For now, just line up.
They don't take reservations,
so the only way to guarantee we can eat here is by lining up early.
I'm busy, so I'll see you later.
Um, they don't open until 5:00 PM.
That's seven hours from now!
Please.
It's bitter.
Too bitter.
You can't even make a decent cup of coffee?
Sorry.
Should I put in milk?
I'll get fat, so forget it.
Bitter, bitter...
But that's all you've got, so I'll drink it.
When I drink something bitter,
I get a craving for Theimel's sachertorte.
Asakura-kun, go buy me one.
Sure.
