Museum (Myûjiamu / ミュージアム) (ミュージアム)

Haruka...

Shouta...

Welcome home, papa.

Welcome home.

I'm back.

Sorry 'bout that.

Okay. I'm off.

Take care.

Is that a picture of papa, mama and Shouta?

Yup. That was when we went out for a walk.

He said he wanted to eat with you.

The next time I take my leave...

You haven't been able to celebrate his birthday with him.

Work's piling up, you see.

You...

...are the worst father there is.

Hello?

Were you informed already?

Yeah.

Don't let it bother you.

Okay.

Be there in a moment.

MUSEUM

You're vomiting yet again, Nishino?

No.

Thanks for all your hardwork.

The crime scene? Over here?

Yes.

I will soon return to the scene.

Over here

Okay.

Thanks for your effort.

Thanks for your hardwork.

You lot! Can't you do your job properly? Aren't you policemen?!

Sawamura-san...

That's the murder weapon used by the criminal.

What?

Sawamura-san...

This is terrible.

Devoured by a dog?

Yeah.

What's worst...

...is that she was eaten alive.

The body is expected to have rot here for a day now.

The culprit who did this...

...bounded her in chains...

...and left her with a starving dog.

Three large dogs attacked her until she was beyond saving.

Just a matter of time before she became meat, huh?

No wonder that Nishino would vomit from this.

Fuji-san.

Do you know the victim's identity?

No identities found in the victim's body.

That'll have to take time.

You go with Nishino and check around.

Okay.

After you're done taking pictures of the corpse, report any findings to me.

What are you doing ?

You...

Don't you see it?

According to eyewitness accounts...

They saw only a rain-jacketed man walking back and forth around the scene.

It was raining yesterday, after all.

It's very difficult to know what happened in the vicinity.

Sawamura-san...

Still can't manage to sleep?

Over worrying about me, you should be able to adapt yourself to every crime scene you go.

If you can't, you won't be able to do your job properly.

I'm sure I'm not cut out to be a police.

What are you talking about?

Yes, this is Sawamura.

Okay. Will be there immediately.

Where's the place?

So? What did the dog vomit?

Here it is.

I immediately contacted you because there are strange writings scribbled on it.

There's a possibility that this may be related to this case.

What is this?

"Dog Food Punishment."

Thanks for all your hardwork, Division Head.

Can we do this program?

Division Head.

This is an indispensable data.

The killer holds grudges and impose penalties to the victim as their punishment.

To punish?

That's just scribbles on a piece of paper!

Don't twist such an important case like this!

I'll go and gather other pieces of clues like this.

The identity of the victim has been found!

Uehara Akemi. Female, 26 years old. A factory worker.

Just three days ago, her boyfriend filed a missing person report.

I can't believe it.

Please allow me to see her corpse.

We're currently still investigating more about this case.

I understand how you feel.

We're very sorry for the loss.

Did you just move here?

A week ago...

We just started living together.

Akemi...

Just what in the world happened to her?!

Please tell me!

We are sorry...

...but we're still on the middle of investigation, so we still can't tell you anything about the case.

Are you okay?

Excuse me, but I want to ask you something.

When you hear the word "dog," does it ring a bell for you?

Dog?

Tsu-kun...

Mom's off to work.

I left the food at the same place, as always.

Don't get in my way...

...you old hag!

She hasn't eaten yet?

What a bother! Go home!

Die!

How annoying could he get?!

Die!

Tsutsumi-san! You have a delivery!

Tsutsumi-san.

There it goes again! What a bother!

Time to slaughter me some dead corpse.

Fucking garbage.

What's his problem?

Oh, come on! You looking for trouble?

Come on, give me a break.

Even when someone's at home?!

There's someone here, you know?

It's impossible to open the door.

There's someone here!

I'm here!

There's someone here, you know?

I'm home!

I'm in the house!

There's no way he's hiding behind the door, right?

I am.

Hey. Are you awake?

I've been secretly snooping over your life.

Tsutsumi Yuichi, 28 years old.

You were still a child when your father died and ever since then, it's been just you and your mother.

But, you do not work. You're always at home.

Your daily activities: just eat, drink and sleep all day.

And the results of the assessment is...

You're guilty.

The guilty must be punished at all costs.

Mother, mother!

I have determined the appropriate penalty just for you.

UNDERGO A MOTHER'S PAIN

Now, you will both taste this judgment that will be instituted upon you.

Save me! Mother!

Someone! Help me!

Mother! Help me!

Mother!

I'll help you get back to when you were born.

Help me!

It's dangerous here!

It's fine.

Come on, hurry.

It's fine, I tell you.

Come on! I don't like it here!

The old hag's at home...

Then, the hotel, it is!

I don't have the money for it, idiot.

You just said I was stupid!

Come on. Over here!

Seriously! You can't be contained!

Who's the victim?

The victim's name is Tsutsumi Yuichi, 28, unemployed.

Living with his mother.

He's been reported missing this morning...

...as someone who was missing from his home.

Missing from home?

Yes. Reports say he was just at home.

Without any warning, he suddenly disappeared.

Excuse me.

The lights on his room and the computer was left on.

No sign that the door was damaged.

At home, we found traces of shoe print from the offender.

He left the weapon and the note right where it is.

Trail of shoe print is also apparent.

Doesn't it pique your interest?

He specifically targeted someone who was at home

with a clear plan to kill.

Are there similarities between the victims so far?

Still under investigation.

"A Mother's Pain."

Is it a birth weight?

Might be so.

The mother is working everyday to finance his life.

He was cut to measure the exact weight he weighed when he was born.

So, he was punished to make him undergo the same pain his mother went through?

What goes on in an investigation is just like a puzzle.

One by one, if you connect one piece to the other...

Broadly speaking, all will be revealed.

But still...

Getting someone's birth weight isn't a data you can just easily acquire.

That's the point.

The culprit must have definitely checked up on the victim.

He knows well.

What's with that limited food intake?
