There's no reason to live...
He left a note.
Suicide, huh?
Even though he was so young...
Tominaga!
Y-You know him?
Tsuji?
Tsuji?
Tsuji!
Yes!
Get a hold of yourself. You're a detective.
Sorry.
Tominaga Shouta.
We were friends in middle school.
Oh...
Um, what did the note say?
"I've lost all hope. There's no more reason to live."
That's all.
In middle school, he was really cheerful and optimistic.
The workers found the body this morning and got him down.
Asakura-san?
Asakura-san!
Tsuji-kun...
You're late.
I was just questioning the co-workers.
Why are you here?
As always, you question a uniformed police officer about his duties.
You're here to gather evidence for corrective enforcement, aren't you?
What's going on at this factory?
What's the problem?
Aren't you the enthusiastic one?
Take him.
Right.
Tominaga Shouta was a friend of mine in middle school.
He was an only child and lived with his mother,
so I can't believe he'd leave her behind.
Does you investigation have something to do with his suicide?
Who knows?
The only thing...
The only thing?
Tominaga-san had apparently quit his job here recently.
Can I ask you a few questions?
Why did Tominaga quit?
About two weeks ago, Tominaga-kun made a big mistake operating the machinery.
Tominaga-kun, what happened?!
Hurry! Call an ambulance!
His mistake fouled up the machine, too,
which held up the production line for a while.
That pushed back our delivery date considerably.
Was he fired because of that?
No, I heard he left on his own.
On his own?
He resigned.
Before the accident,
did he complain about anything or seem to be struggling?
Not that we could see. Right?
Was anything troubling him?
This work is hard, but we take pride in it.
The parts that we create help people in need all over the world.
That's admirable.
The president is a great man.
President Kujou saved me!
I didn't have any confidence in myself until I started working here.
He treats everyone the same,
whether they're full-time employees or temporary workers.
This is a good company.
Tominaga-kun said the same thing.
Then why did he quit?
I don't know.
But I guess he felt responsible.
You have value. Kujou Electronics
Let's make our work have meaning. Kujou Electronics
Let's find the meaning in our lives. Kujou Electronics
Let's find the meaning in our lives. Kujou Electronics
Thank you.
Tominaga...
Why?
Shouta! Shouta!
Tominaga-san,
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I never imagined we'd meet again under these circumstances...
Tsuji-kun...
Even though it was middle school,
it feels like it was yesterday...
Shouta and I often had silly conversations in his room...
Was something troubling him?
I know he caused an accident,
but to quit the company over it...
He didn't quit.
I have to heal up and then get back to work.
Everyone's waiting for me.
Is that true?
Yes.
Since starting at Kujou Electronics,
he would work hard and come home late every day.
He would even work on his days off,
but it seemed like he was having fun.
He had a lot of respect for the president, Kujou-san.
Did he say anything about the accident?
That it was his fault for nodding off.
He said he had to work even harder to make up for it, so...
So why?!
Don't you think it's strange?
The workers said he resigned, but his mother said he never quit!
He could have lied to his mother.
If he did quit,
why would he go to the trouble of dying in the factory?
The place would have nothing to do with him.
There has to be a reason he chose the factory for his suicide
instead of his home or somewhere else!
Asakura-san, is something going on at Kujou Electronics?
Not especially.
You went to Kujou Electronics for corrective enforcement, right?
No, I didn't.
You're kidding!
Then why?!
I wanted to confirm it.
Kujou Electronics is a good company.
The workers said so, remember?
Everyone even respects the president.
If it's such a good company, why was Tominaga driven to his death?
The reason for that must have something to do with Kujou Electronics!
Perhaps Tominaga-kun was just weak?
Enough. I've misjudged you!
Excuse me.
I wanna die.
The scum of society that prowl under cover of darkness,
National Police Agency Special Crime Prevention Section, Inspector Asakura Souhei
can be encouraged to reform.
Corrective Enforcement.
And there is a department solely responsible for everything from judgment to execution.
Metropolitan Police Department, Toshima Police Station Officer Tsuji Keiichi
National Police Agency Community Safety Bureau Chief Superintendent Kashiwagi Yukio
Metropolitan Police Department, Investigation Division 1 Inspector Date Tetsuto
That's...
Special Crime Prevention Section Senior Superintendent Kanou Miyuki
...the National Police Agency Special Crime Prevention Section.
Or "Tokubou" for short.
Tokubou
Kujou Electronics
They're not recruiting. Crap.
Episode 5
What? Are you thinking of switching careers?
No!
Then maybe Inspector Asakura is thinking about it?
I wish.
What are you mad about?
Maybe I'll sign up with a staffing service after mandatory retirement from here.
I could be a security guard.
Staffing service...
The bigwigs have it made.
They have somewhere to go after retirement.
After I sign up, can I start working right away?
That's right. What's your name?
T-T-Tsuda.
Tsuda
You said you'd like to work at Kujou Electronics?
Yes.
Can you start training tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
I can start that soon?
Business is booming right now for Kujou Electronics.
They're looking to hire dozens of temp workers.
I see.
A little more. Yes.
I'll make sure it goes well.
Wow!
Asakura-kun, what are you doing?
I'd like to ask you the same thing, Date-kun.
Oh, there's just something I want to give Kanou-san.
Cow tongue?
Yes. It's my favorite food.
Does Kanou-san not like cow tongue?
I should've gone with something else.
Giving cow tongue as a present?
Yeah, I found this tasty-looking cow tongue,
so I thought I'd get some for Kanou-san.
Maybe for Kanou-san, you feel...
No, no, no. No way. No way.
What are you talking about?
I don't like that kind of thing.
Well, here. Give this to Kanou-san.
Thank you.
Cow tongue.
Is this like hate mail?
I don't know.
Does he still hold a grudge?
When we were at Harvard,
he said "Marry me!" even though we'd just met, and I refused.
Naturally, right?
Date-kun proposed to you?
Why would he propose in English when we're both Japanese?
Everyone made fun of us.
Of all the things I don't want to recall, that's at the top of the list.
I didn't know...
Really?
Shut up!
What about Kujou Electronics?
My current report and findings are on your desk.
