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

Is it around here?

Yes.

I left it at that curve mirror over there.

I see.

So you lost that suitcase?

Yes.

Isn't this the Lost-And-Found Office's job?

Does it make any difference, though we are police officers?

I understood!

It's over there, right?

Yes.

Yes, Murase-san.

What's wrong?

What?

There's a body in a suitcase!?

Right.

At the request of support from the Adachi Station, we have our presence at the scene.

Making necessary arrangements helped us.

The other party has contacted us immediately.

I see. As what I expected. How is the situation?

Wait for a minute.

The victim was Shibayama Satomi-san.

I guess she was a journalist.

Have you known the features of the suitcase?

Yes.

It's a large silver suitcase.

And then... What?

I sent Yazawa and the others to the place where the victim worked.

Is this enough, Asawa?

This is our case, you know.

We'll definitely solve it.

I guess you're fired up.

- Hatta-san. - Yes.

Do you know about the features of the lost suitcase?

It was a large silver suitcase.

The handle has a wolf mascot...

Did you find it?

Can you give us some information?

I'm not convinced...

Well, isn't it okay?

Why were our works being divided by Murase?

It can't be helped, you know.

This is the editorial department of "Weekly Boom" in which the victim worked.

That hurts...

Shibayama is dead?

Who killed her?

Please wait a moment.

Why did you think she was killed?

Well, you see, she had grudges here and there.

A grudge?

What kind of?

Recently,

she had able to pull out Kagami Ryohei's suspicion of obscenity.

She is our ace.

Thanks to her, our sales have risen sharply.

What kind of material were you following up now?

Well... Shibayama was pretty secretive.

Oh, could it be a follow-up for this?

Say, detectives.

If you find Shibayama's manuscript, please let me know immediately.

The reward will come in a spur of the moment.

Kadokura-san.

You don't have friends, right?

Pardon?

I beg your pardon. Thank you.

I mean, you're not friends, right?

Satomi was killed?

Yes.

She was your ex-wife, right?

You said you got a call from her.

What were you talking about?

Yesterday evening,

she suddenly...

I want to talk with you. Can you come now?

No, it's impossible.

Our team is about to have a social gathering from now on...

Then, come over after it's finished.

Wait...

Hello?

Goodness.

I arrived in her room after 10:00 p.m.

But the electricity went off.

Satomi.

Satomi was away from her home.

I wonder why she's not answering my call.

There was only a suitcase.

Before every sudden business trip,

I had to carry her luggage to the hotel.

I thought of it again.

Usually, on the cork board in her work room,

she places some notes which said to carry her luggage to the hotel and others.

So I was careful bringing it there.

All right.

I thought I would be able to carry it,

but it was very heavy.

I have no choice but to put it on the roadside,

and went to look for a taxi.

Oh?

But...

When I went back,

it's already gone.

Don't you think it's strange?

In the first place, why did you go to your ex-wife's house?

Even after we broke up...

Somehow...

We still continued our relationship as friends.

Is that true?

You got divorced because you had some trouble, right?

Shindo!

I beg your pardon.

Can you tell us about it?

The reason you divorced.

She was cheating on me...

...with that guy.

Sorry to ask this,

but who is the other party?

If you find it a waste,

then it's just useless.

Don't be conceited!

This is an order!

Oh?

It's nothing. Excuse me.

The cause of death is a brain contusion due to a depressed skull fracture.

The occipital area has been hit with a blunt weapon.

The estimated time of death is about 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. before it was discovered.

Would it be possible to narrowly identify the weapon?

There was a laceration on the right occipital area,

and a small quantity of glass fragments were detected in the hair,

so probably it's something made of glass.

Made of glass...

- All right. Let's go, Komiyama-kun. - What!?

He's getting enthusiastic.

He did too much in the previous case,

so he wants to clear his reputation.

He's even aiming at the position as the new team leader.

Oh...

What's wrong?

Well, it's nothing.

What?

From the business card case of the victim Shibayama Satomi-san,

I found a gripping business card.

I have a note of the date.

Makimura Yuji...

Is he a secretary of a Diet member?

Kaito Seiichiro.

PM's nephew and former deputy minister of MLIT.

The hope of the young.

I got it!

Huh?

See, this Diet member is having an affair with a popular idol,

so he thought it will be scooped up and then killed the victim, right?

The victim seemed to have a lot of enemies.

It seems that the persons who were scooped up by the coercive coverage have grudges.

Is that so?

It's like a boom gun, right?

The Weekly Boom's article is really famous.

Look here!

Ryohei Kagami's suspicion of obscenity suddenly appeared.

It appeared in "Kazoimo".

- It didn't appear in "Kazoimo". - It came out.

Say, isn't a penalty for breach of contract a big deal?

I heard that it costs about 200 million yen.

I wonder if this might have urged Kagami to kill her.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

What have you seen at the victim's apartment?

The blood stains in the living room and the DNA of the body matched.

After all, the crime happened at the victim's apartment?

It seems that the laptop and its files s were taken out from the scene.

Neither the victim's phone or table can be found.

Thank you, Sakuma-kun.

Excuse me.

- Good job! - You've done well.

As expected, is the motive to retrieve the date on her laptop?

We may think that the person who was scooped could have a grudge on her.

From the surveillance cameras in the elevator,

no suspicious persons were shown except Hatta Yoshikazu, her ex-husband.

But there was no camera on the stairs,

anyone can go in and out.

Then, it's highly possible that the ex-husband is the culprit.

In the first place, why was he with you, Asawa-kun?

Oh, that's right.

When I went to the Meguro West Station to deliver documents,

Hatta reported something to the Lost-And-Found Section,

so I asked Senpai to find it with us together.

Well, I mean...

He carried a suitcase in the middle of the night,

and was a bit worried that it was stolen.

Let's talk more about that later. All right. Shindo, let's go.

- Be careful on your way. - We're leaving now.

Well then, we'll be the performers.

All right!

I'd like you to take a two-shot photo with Kagami Ryohei.

- What? - Take care.

Then, shall we go at Makimura Ataru, a Diet member's secretary?

I guess you like this authoritative system.

What? Authoritative system?

Oh, bring your bag!

What!? You're going to use mine!?

Okay! Get it right back!

Pass it fast!
