Bitter Blood (ビター・ブラッド)

- He's my partner? - He's my partner?

I don't want to see people get hurt.

- I grew up seeing my mom cry everyday. - Stop.

Don't act according to your emotions.

You aren't cut out to be a detective.

You are coldly pushing him away because you don't want to put your son in danger.

He is too kind to look back and see the risks he takes.

I'm the daughter of Maeda Shuichi.

Maeda.

I'm not a hero. I couldn't save your father.

Is it true that the perpetrator hasn't been caught?

A bomb was placed in the food court of this mall.

Like father, like son, huh?

Maeda could be communicating with Kaizuka.

Maeda Hitomi's entire life all depends on your actions.

What is your intention?

I want Shimao Akimura to be in despair.

You killed him?

I won't forgive you no matter what.

This is the worst humiliation.

Kaizuka.

What time do you think you can get off today?

Because I put you in danger the other day, I'm saying I will treat you to dinner.

I am truly sorry about yesterday.

Kaizuka, huh?

Yes, something is bothering me.

I just can't believe that he died so easily like that.

You are thinking too much.

I hope that's the case.

I'm the son of Kagiyama Kensuke from the Crime Investigation Division.

Inspector's?

A high school boy has been attacked by a man with a knife.

He is Inspector Kagiyama's son.

I think being a detective is cool.

I want to be a detective like Sahara-san.

Sahara. Thank you.

I'm not kidding.

You people...

Be careful.

Father.

Grandpa.

- What? - What is going on?

Are you okay?

- Stop the bleeding. - Yes.

Grandpa. Grandpa.

Grandpa. Grandpa.

Hang in there, Grandpa. Hang in there, Grandpa.

Be quiet.

Don't panic.

Let's go inside. We need to start an investigation.

You are bleeding.

Father, leave the investigation to us.

The initial investigation must be carried out promptly.

It's a basic rule of being a detective.

You've retired already so just sit quietly.

How can I sit quietly after letting the perpetrator escape?

Oh... the former detective...

Sahara Tominari, the Immortal Man.

He is Kagiyama-san's old partner.

What?

Should we go?

We should. Let's go.

The ambulance will arrive in five minutes.

I see. I will finish it in three minutes.

But father, you are bleeding badly. Don't push yourself.

The man who stabbed me is named Jonouchi Toshiya, 42 years of age.

He robbed an armored truck and took two hundred million yen three years ago.

He is a heinous criminal who stabbed the two men on the truck to death.

He was the last suspect I was chasing.

I saw him near the Ginza train station.

I called to him, and he stabbed me with a knife.

I thought Jonouchi fled overseas and the money's whereabouts was unknown.

Is there any reason why he showed up in Ginza where he is easily noticeable

- after hiding for three years? - There is.

His girlfriend from back then lives in Ginza.

Excuse me. Here is your order.

Sekine Ayako, works at a restaurant part-time, 28 years of age.

Then Sekine Ayako is involved in the two hundred million yen robbery case.

Or she might know the whereabouts of the two hundred million yen.

If Jonouchi is contacting her, she is likely to have some involvement in the case.

Father.

First, search for Jonouchi around the Ginza area.

We will keep an eye on Sekine Ayako.

We will stakeout Sekine's apartment around the clock.

- Yes. - Yes.

Now, regarding the stakeout...

Natsuki and Akimura-kun will be in charge of it.

- What? - What?

- With him? - Stakeout?

Ugh, what is this place?

A trash house?

It is really awful.

Couldn't they find a better place than this?

Supposedly this room has the best view to Sekine Ayako's room.

Why did you bring so much stuff?

Hey, what's this? What's this?

Inagi-san told me to take them just in case.

He is making a mockery of us. I know he is.

Are you stupid or something?

Do you want me to peck you with this beak? Hey, I'll peck you with this.

See what happens?

I'm sorry.

What is the most important thing when you are on a stakeout?

- To stay attentive? - Wrong.

It's the living environment.

The living environment?

You can do a high quality investigation only if you are in a comfortable room.

So clean up the room.

Sekine is so pretty.

Oh no. What are you doing?

I'm cleaning the floor.

Why are you doing that?

You are supposed to clean the tables and shelves first and then the floor.

The basic rule of cleaning is from top to bottom.

- All the dust falls on the floor, you see? - So anal.

See? It's dirty again. You will end up doing it twice.

Look at this. You will need to do it again.

- Look at this. - I can't look at it.

- I'm monitoring her. - Look, it's really bad.

- What happened? - Don't look.

- No, we can't. - We shouldn't look.

- You are looking. - No, I'm not. Huh?

Huh? Where did that thing go?

- What are you doing? - I'm not looking.

I see. So the two really are in charge of the stakeout.

You pushed yourself too hard.

I couldn't help it. We are dealing with Jonouchi.

You should leave him to us since you are already retired.

You don't have a police ID anymore, so you should live a quiet life.

'Live a quiet life?'

Are you playing safe since you are the inspector now?

- If you are a detective-- - Oh please, please, please.

I know your passion is immortal too. Just take it easy.

- Keybo. - Yes.

Don't you have a detective's soul anymore?

You and your 'detective's soul' again, Tomi-san.

You haven't changed.

Do you think a soul would ever change?

No, a detective's soul would never change.

Right.

Tomi-san, you didn't come to Tokyo only to follow Jonouchi's case, right?

Are you still searching for Satoe-san?

She isn't a smart girl, but she is my daughter.

Thank you, Keybo.

For what?

For making Natsuki and Akimura-kun become partners.

No problem. They are doing great.

I'm glad to hear that.

I hope they will become closer by being on this stakeout together.

Don't tell me that you came all the way to the police station...

to make them do the stakeout together?

Absolutely not.

All right.

Perfect.

By the way, why am I the one cleaning after all?

It will take forever if I clean the room while you tell me to do this and that.

- Oh! No! - What is it?

- Potato chips. - You don't like chips?

That's not what I'm saying.

I know. I made sure not to make a mess.

- That's not what I'm saying either. - Then what is it?

Throw away the bag when you are done eating.

Don't you feel disgusted seeing trash everywhere?

I was going to throw them out all at once later.

- 'Later?' That's how your room gets dirty. - I understand.

- Oh no. - What is it this time?

- You touched it with your greasy hands. - I cleaned them.

- Nonsense, that's not the point. - You are too anal.

- I'm not anal. I am just clean. - You are anal.

If you pay attention to hygiene regularly, you don't catch a cold.

That's just your imagination. You will catch a cold no matter what you do.

I haven't caught a cold even once since I became a detective.

Ah!

What is it? Is she changing her clothes?

Sekine is going out.

It's our chance.

We have witnesses who saw him in Ginza.

The owner of the bar that Jonouchi used to go to saw him at Ginza 6-chome.

We received information from four more witnesses who saw him.

So Jonouchi is staying in Ginza.

Is there any report on Sekine Ayako?

So far it doesn't seem like she's been contacted by anyone involved in the case.

Taka and I will switch with them at 10 am tomorrow.

Yes, we have been monitoring her apartment 24 hours a day.

Inagi-san is monitoring her at the restaurant where she works.

Excuse me.

Here's your tomato and basil pasta.

Ahh... Ahh... This is Shimao, can you hear me?

This is Sahara, I can hear you.

I will carry out our plan.

Roger.

I'm finished.

[I forgot to tell you. Sekine Ayako left the restaurant a little early. Inagi.]

Sekine left the restaurant? Huh?

Hey, Sekine's back.

Do whatever you can to avoid her from seeing your face.

If you fail, you won't be able to sneak into her place.

I understand.

I can't do it.
