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

After eating, they didn't clear the table.

Is this place a kindergarten?

Yes. From the SIT.

Yes.

I understood. Okay.

There are nail marks.

Right. She seemed to have strongly resisted.

Excuse me for a moment.

- Oh, thank you for the good work. - Thank you for the good work.

Was she strangled?

Right. A housewife discovered this first while she was out for a walk.

The estimated time of death is between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. yesterday.

How about the victim's identity?

We're trying to find it out now... Oops!

Hey Murase. Why took control of this place?

Well, well, well. Let him be!

We found out the victim.

She was Aizawa Reimi-san, an employee of Central Security.

Oh, this was in the victim's jacket.

- What? A ring? - Is this a diamond?

373,920 yen.

What? Why does it have a price tag?

- There was no box in her belongings? - No.

- She didn't have? - Yes.

Is this a stolen item? Even when she was an employee of a security company.

- Oh no! - Komiyama-kun.

- Diamond. - Got it.

Let's go!

Oh, they're going right away.

Oh?

By the way, what about Shindo?

I was looking into the call log of the victim's phone.

The last incoming call was at 7:07 p.m.

I see. It's the same as the estimated death time.

I'm heading to the caller's office now.

Hang on! Wait a minute!

- Don't move until I arrive. Wait for me. - Okay.

With that, I'm going with Shindo.

- I'll leave this to you. - Oh, okay.

- He's going there. - Please take this.

What are we going to do?

Well, we'll go too.

But where?

It's already decided.

Don't you realize it?

Where are we going?

Over there!

Aizawa-san was a G-men.

It was her rest day yesterday,

but I didn't thought such thing happened to her.

How was Aizawa-san's everyday work look like?

She was excellent.

She always has the highest number of arrested shoplifters.

Oh, that could mean...

Perhaps, there were many people who have grudges against her.

Did she had any problems or anything?

Not really...

Oh, speaking of which,

a man came to visit her about two months ago.

He was in a ghastly threatening attitude...

Aizawa Reimi, get out from there!

Do you know who that person is?

Maybe, if you look up the visitors' record...

Then, can you show us that one?

Right. Did Aizawa-san had a list of shoplifters she caught?

She had it...

But do you have a search warrant?

You don't have to make it tough for us.

It's personal information, you know.

We can't do anything about it, right?

That's surely...

Try to do your job properly, hey you.

Okay, I understood. We'll bring it later.

But is it okay to borrow this one?

Oh, please go ahead. It's quite well done.

Shindo!

You're late.

You went ahead.

Aren't we a good combination from Showa and Reiwa?

You're from Heisei, aren't you?

- Certainly... - Then?

Sorry to disturb you during your work.

Are you Ikura Akiyo-san?

That's right, though.

You know Aizawa Reimi-san, right?

Why about that...?

Aizawa-san is dead.

Just after you called her yesterday.

What? No way...

Could you cooperate with us in the investigation?

Is there anything you know about Aizawa-san?

It's just gossips.

Pardon me for asking this,

but what kind of relationship did you have with Aizawa-san?

She was acquainted with my son.

Then, we would like to talk with your son,

so can you tell us his contact info?

He died...

...12 years ago.

Thank you for waiting. I'm Miyasaka, the manager.

Murder of a Shoplifting G-Men

Without further ado, is this ring came from here?

Yes. Certainly it's from our store.

What about it?

Oh, here.

A woman who passed away had it.

She was Aizawa Reimi-san.

Did she come here yesterday?

Well, I'm mainly in-charge of quality control.

Oh, but you can look at the surveillance camera.

- By all means! - By all means!

Skip it more.

Oh, stop! Rewind it for a bit.

- It's the victim. - Right.

- Yes, play it. - Okay.

She stole it just now.

Oh, it really is.

Whoa! They went out. Was she chasing the shoplifter?

Let's have this woman checked by face recognition.

Okay.

A shoplifting G-men has spotted one customer.

The man had left the store.

The shoplifting G-men called him out.

- Excuse me. - What the heck?

Aren't there any products that haven't been paid for?

You haven't paid for this yet, have you?

Aizawa-san was excellent to see at the live TV show.

- She seemed to have been the ace. - Right.

Oh! Again! I've made it again! Shit!

Put your trash in the garbage bin.

Oh, I see. I'm sorry.

The garbage bin is here.

A trash is placed into the trash can, Yasushi.

I'm sorry.

When I was in high school, a bookstore I used to go to was closed due to shoplifting.

That is the reason...

Senior, this one.

Shindo, give me the data.

Okay. Oh, where is it?

- That one. - What's wrong?

Thank you.

I mentioned about Ikura Akiyo-san before,

she said she lost her son, Yuma-kun, 12 years ago.

He died 12 years ago.

He got an accident on his way home from school.

What's interesting is I found out...

...that Yuma-kun had shoplifted at a bookstore...

...and when he tried to escape, he fell down the stairs.

Why Aizawa-san thought to become a shoplifting G-men was a bookstore got shoplifted.

Is this just a coincidence?

Shall we try to go at that bookstore?

- Shindo, let's go! - See you!

See you!

All right!

Oh, I'm done!

Can I just throw it away?

Oh, will you?

I'm sorry.

Thank you so much.

He's surprisingly a good person, I guess.

He's just pretty simple.

Is it here?

Yamamoto Bookstore...

As expected, it has been closed.

Oh, Yamamoto-san.

- Let's call him. - Okay.

Excuse me.

What do you want from me?

- From the forensics. - It's already out?

The woman who stole the ring had a criminal record.

This Omori Tsukiko has been arrested four times for theft,

and she was the last person arrested by the victim Aizawa Reimi-san.

If so, it wouldn't be strange...

...if trouble occurred after the jewelry store was opened.

- Oh, wait a second! - What?

Isn't this the husband, Omori Soichiro?

Omori Soichiro, you say...

The educational critic who often appears on TV?

A shoplifting addict and educational critic...

What an assortment is this couple.

And so, what business does the police has with us?

It's a bit complicated,

but we would like to talk something about your wife.

No need to worry.

We don't have anything to hide.

Right?

Yes...

I understood.

Then, the wife.

Do you remember this woman?

She was the security officer, on plain clothes, who arrested you before.

I don't remember her.

She was killed by someone last night.

You went to a jewelry store...

...called Bridge in Ginza yesterday, didn't you?

I'll go straight to the point.

You stole the ring in this store, weren't you?

Then, Aizawa-san looked at it and found the trouble.

I don't remember it.

After leaving the shop yesterday between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.,
