Woman of Maruho (Maruho no Onna / マルホの女 / Hoken Hanzai Chosain / ～​保​険​犯​罪​調​査​員​～)

Kashiwagi Natsuko.

Speciality: logical reasoning.

Extremely unyielding.

Extremely fastidious.

Tohno Aki.

Speciality: intuition.

Former female biker.

Equally unyielding.

You both know about the case of Igawa Masumi-san,

who was murdered by a stalker?

If the police leaked the information,

this will be a nasty case.

Half the blame for her death lies with the police.

You heard using the wiretap.

That's why I killed her.

Truly protecting someone

is actually a very lonely thing.

Not understanding that,

you're no true policeman.

Fool!

This is a story of the wide variety of insurance mushrooming in modern society.

These two insurance adjusters battle against

those committing sophisticated insurance crimes, and attempt to uncover the truth.

Maruho no Onna English subtitles by Candylemon

If anyone murdered him...

...it was you two!

What are you saying?

Amateurs shouldn't play detective.

Based only on circumstantial evidence, you forced him to confess.

He had an emotional breakdown and killed himself.

What's wrong with calling that murder?

We are confident he killed Igawa Masumi-san.

That's right, he confessed in front of us.

He denied the crime under interrogation.

There's no conclusive evidence he was guilty.

Wiretapping her room

was done simply as an act of kindness.

That's sophistry.

That's crap.

Innocent until proven guilty.

That is the law.

I'll be blunt.

Regarding any future incidents,

please do not attempt to report them in the media or on the internet.

If you promise that,

I will overlook your behaviour this time.

After all that's happened,

are the police still going to hide the truth?

Well?

What will you do?

"What will you do?"...

There's no way we'd agree to that.

No, we'll agree to it.

See, even this woman...

Eh?

Kashiwagi-san?

However, there is a condition.

Condition?

Please show us the investigation notes for Kuki Saeko's case.

Huh?

From four months ago,

the case of the murder of Kuki General Hospital's director.

If you agree to that condition,

I will agree to yours.

Thank you.

It was a short walk here, but I'm perspiring.

Soon it will be summer, your favourite season.

Your colouring looks good today. I'm glad.

Saeko, are you angry?

Are you angry?

It's not like me to make conditions.

But I have to know.

What happened to you?

That's right, I have to know, no matter what.

What happened to Saeko on that day?

Natsuko, what are you going to bring for the party next week?

Surprise!

Okay, I'll take it.

Saeko...

It began with an email from Saeko.

Dear Natsuko, It's been ages. How are you? There's something I want to discuss with you. Saeko It began with an email from Saeko.

Dear Natsuko, It's been ages. How are you? There's something I want to discuss with you. Saeko

Saeko, who had married a hospital director Dear Natsuko, It's been ages. How are you? There's something I want to discuss with you. Saeko

and should have been living happily. Dear Natsuko, It's been ages. How are you? There's something I want to discuss with you. Saeko

and should have been living happily.

I took some time off, and headed to Japan.

Excuse me.

Could I wait a little longer to order?

As you wish.

On the day of our appointment, the normally punctual Saeko

still hadn't arrived 30 minutes after the arranged time.

I tried calling her many times,

but she didn't pick up the phone.

Excuse me.

It's Kashiwagi.

Saeko?

Saeko?

Saeko?!

It's still wet.

Is that the police?

Afterwards, the police contacted me

later that same night.

In the mountains of Chiba,

Saeko had been found unconscious

in a car that had slipped down a cliff.

Saeko!

Saeko! Saeko!

Speak to me, Saeko!

What's going on?! What happened!?

Let go!

Excuse me, who are you?

I'm Kuki Saeko's friend. Let me through!

I can't do that.

I'm from the police.

Kuki Saeko-san is suspected of a serious crime.

A serious crime? What?

What? Tell me!

Murder.

Murder?

Kuki Saeko-san is suspected

of the murder of her husband, Kuki Takaaki-san.

Unbelievably,

in the trunk of the car Saeko had been driving,

the body of her husband was found.

The subsequent investigation

also identified the blood in the living room as his.

The trophy lying beside it was identified as the weapon,

and on it, Saeko's fingerprints were found.

The trophy had been held upside down,

and he'd been hit on the head with the base.

Thinking about the case again?

Just before the incident,

Takaaki-san's life insurance was increased from 50 million to 100 million yen.

Any insurance adjuster would think that's suspicious.

Saeko-san.

Hello.

Tohno-san, you are not Saeko's friend,

so you needn't visit her.

I may not be her friend, but I'm the one in charge of her case.

I will solve Saeko's case.

I wonder if you should take that attitude.

I've brought you some good news at last.

Good news?

That Senior Superintendent Kujihara has been in touch.

He says he'll show us the notes

from Kuki Saeko-san's case.

Excuse us.

What sort of room is this?

I am not obliged to answer your questions.

I know! The secret base of the public security police.

I am not obliged to answer your questions.

If you keep saying unnecessary things,

you won't learn anything today.

Understood.

I'm not interested in anything unconnected to Kuki Saeko.

Ah!

Is this a magic mirror?

Tohno-san.

Is someone watching from the other side?

Somehow, that's exciting.

Hello, everyone over there!

Anyone who wants to marry me, raise your hand.

- Oh? Everyone? - It's an ordinary mirror.

- Really~? - Tohno Aki.

Sit down.

Alright, I get it.

Let's look at these investigation notes.

Come on!

Here.

These are Kuki Saeko's case notes.

Let's get started.

Viewing time is one hour.

Taking notes, photographs or copies is forbidden.

Hey.

What can we do in that time?

I want you to understand that just showing these documents

to members of the public is exceptional.

- Huh? - Understood.

Acting like a good girl on your own like this.

- What the hell? - Eating and drinking are forbidden.

Seriously...?

I can't work without those, Nat-chan.

I'm hungry~.

- Come on. - Just a bit...

Sit!

These are the documents from Kuki Saeko's case.

The injury on her forehead was still there from that day...

Upstart! Upstart! Upstart...

Say somethin'!

Ah!

Saeko!

Yet never once did she blame me for what happened.

Ouch!

- What was that for? - Why are you spacing out?!

I kept calling you, over and over and over.

What were you saying?

This is all stuff we already know,

but I asked if your pile had anything.

This is roughly the same. Nothing new so far.

Hey!
