Where do people go when they die?

I was involved in an incident where I was shot in the head.

The bullet swerved inside and lodged between an artery

miraculously saving my life.

But the operation to remove it is dangerous

so I've decided to live with it for now.

As a result...

I can talk to the dead.

It's really horrible working on Saturday.

It's fine. It's part of the job.

What's this?

Ahh...I thought I'd make some balloons for the children.

Good idea! Hahaha...!

Stop disappearing like that.

Something will happen to you!

Buy me this!

You have a lot of toys like that though?

Let's go!

Hey...

Get your Dad to buy it next time you come with him.

Okay?

I need to pee. - Huhhh?

Cool right?

Yeah.

Do you want one?

Yeah... - Okay...

I have to get this one to someone so I can't give it to you

but there's some display models in my car how about one of them?

How about it? - I want it.

What's your name?

Hiroshi Amakawa.

Hiroshi huh...

If someone finds out I gave you a display model

my boss will get mad at me so I want to do it in secret.

So can you follow me to

the car park really sneakily?

Okay.

Where'd he go?

Hiroshi!

Hiroshi!

Hiroshi!

Hiroshi...!

Hiroshi...Hiroshi!

Where are you!? Hiroshi!

We're doing our best trying to

search for Hiroshi right now.

I still don't understand why

they kidnapped our child.

We're not rich or anything...

I took my eyes off him.

This is my fault...

Just trying and keep it together for when

the kidnapper contacts you.

I'm Hiroshi Amakawa.

I want to go home.

There's no security cameras around.

Plus people couldn't see you from far away.

The killer probably knew that

and planned to dump the body here from the start.

So I guess it wasn't a spontaneous murder then.

The distance between here and

the place he was kidnapped is around 40 kilometers.

It would have been pretty risky moving a child that far.

He must have been confident and had a good plan.

Yeah.

Let's get psyched. - Yeah.

How is it?

Judging from his pupils and the body's stiffness

I'd say around 20 hours have passed since he died.

So that means he was killed on around yesterday afternoon?

He was kidnapped at 1pm so

he must have died hours later.

What's the cause of death? - His hyoid bone was broken

he died from loss of oxygen.

So he was choked then?

There's no traces of choking.

There's a really small print near his hyoid bone.

The killer must have rested a stick or his thumb here

and applied pressure to break the bone.

Whoever did it must have had some reasonable medical knowledge.

I guess they didn't want to leave evidence on the body then.

Do you think the killer has priors?

It's possible. Find anything else?

There's a lot of curious things but

I can't say anything until I've actually done an autopsy.

Okay. We're counting on you.

Yeah.

Hey is your head okay?

Yeah it's on my body. - I'm talking about the bullet.

I know. Everything is fine.

Why didn't you get the operation?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

None of the security cameras caught

Hiroshi on that day.

We've had no witnesses reports either.

How many cameras are set up?

20. - That's a lot.

So this must mean he

chose somewhere that wouldn't be caught on camera

and directed the kid.

Do you think it's possible to direct an 8 year old though?

You'd have to use hypnosis or something.

We're investigating people who know the camera positions and

all of the employees of suppliers

that come into the mall as well.

That's a lot of people.

Turn the lights off please. - Okay.

I'll have a look around. I'll catch up with you guys.

Was it scary?

I'm going to

catch the bad man who did this to you.

Really?

Yeah.

I promise you that.

So who was the guy that hurt you?

A man from the toy store.

He said he'd give me a toy so I followed him.

Even though my mom

always tells me not to follow strangers...

It's not your fault.

It's the man from the toy stores fault.

Do you remember anything else about him?

He was really kind and seemed like a good person.

I can't do it...

Let's confirm the body.

It's something that only we can do.

I'm so sorry!

Sorry...!

There was no evidence of sexual acts on Hiroshi's body.

There weren't any big wounds either.

Then what was he kidnapped and killed FOR?

Look at photo 8.

This alphabet letter A was drawn on the body

with saliva.

It didn't match with Hiroshi's DNA so

it must be the criminal's.

Maybe it was A for Amakawa...

So what about the data? - There's no results in here.

The result showed that

it was the saliva of a non-secretor** blood type.

** Look I was never good at science but I googled this and apparently you can't easily tell what blood type a non-secretor is just from their saliva. You can with secretor-types though.

Because of that we couldn't get any DNA or the blood-type.

And the killer knew that and

that's why he drew this on the body?

I think so... - Bastard!

Usually when a body is carried somewhere

sweat and skin of the carrier sticks onto the boy but

none of that at all was found on Hiroshi's body.

This means that the criminal must have taken huge care

to ensure no evidence was left behind.

There's two toy companies that have been

into the mall.

There's Star Toys and

Marukawa Toys.

Marukawa mostly sells play kitchen stuff so...

You're probably looking for Star Toys.

There was a delivery recorded one hour

before the kidnapping occurred too.

Got it. Thanks.

We don't need it this time.

Just make sure that you catch the killer.

Definitely.

I'll definitely catch him.

Ango is kind of strange today.

Yeah. Do you think he's okay?

The one who delivered to the mall on Saturday

was definitely Ando from here.

Is he at work today?

No...He suddenly quit yesterday actually

without any notice.

He was a really dedicated good worker too.

But he said he found another job he wanted to do...

I don't understand young people these days.

Are any of his belonging still here?

Is one of these Ando's?

Yeah...This.

Here are the results for the saliva on the coffee cup.

Just like you thought they were a non-secretor.

Who's saliva was it?

Is it someone being investigated?

I can't tell you yet.

Either way

all this proves is that they were a non-secretor blood type.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Non-secretors make up approximately one third of the population.

So at this point

one third of people are suspects.

I know that.

Wait. - What?

Are you seeing weird things?

What do you mean "weird things"?

Like...

Dead people.

Should a scientist really be saying that?

Don't get me wrong.
