Goth (GOTH)

The water looks nice and cool.

She's missing a hand!

You there! Excuse me!

Listen! Excuse me!

She has no hand.

No way!

Here's a policeman.

Is something wrong?

Look! It's frightening.

What's the trouble?

Not me. Her!

Is she dead?

Everyone, get back. Get back.

This is patrol reporting a possibly drowned victim.

Scene of the crime is Ikoi-no-sato Park, Mishigaoka.

A murder in this quiet neighborhood...

has left the residents and the police stunned.

Look at all these curious onlookers!

It's so hot.

The body was found by a couple of housewives.

It seems the body was left there sometime before dawn.

The park with its flowing water garden...

was built five years ago for the residents in the area.

The park is usually filled with families...

The victim is a young woman, as in the murder...

that happened two months ago, close by in... Sekinogawa.

Detective.

She was just sitting here.

The police believe the two murders may be connected.

Back to you, studio.

You're late.

Where's Dad?

He had to be at the airport by 7:00 so he left before 5:00.

He's going to Paris.

How come he always gets to go!

It's not a pleasure trip.

Yui Nagasaka, who was found dead yesterday...

had her left hand cut off at the wrist.

Itsuki.

Did you go out this morning?

I went for a walk.

Unbelievable.

That's an awfully strange time for a walk.

Are you a zombie?

Want toast?

No, I'm already late.

Where did you go?

Good morning.

The victims died of cardiac arrest...

caused by intravenous injection of potassium chloride.

So, where did you go?

You aren't telling me?

You'll be late.

Gosh, I'd better go.

Have a nice day!

Hey, wait!

Don't go anywhere secluded. Stay with friends.

I'll be ok.

Why did the murderer leave the body where it would be found?

I think we can say that the murderer has...

strong desires to be recognized publicly.

He's exhibiting what he considers to be pieces of art.

As you know, he displayed the two victims...

in beautiful poses, as if they were alive.

You're saying the murderer has aesthetic sensibility.

I think we can say that.

But then, his artistic sense is far from normal.

The police seem convinced that the two women were killed...

by the same person, but...

Hey, Kamiyama. You're late.

Hurry.

I went to sleep this morning and couldn't get up.

What were you doing?

Notice about the murder in Mishigaoka

As you know, there was a murder...

in our neighborhood yesterday.

For real?

Be quiet!

Quiet!

There was a similar case two months ago.

I want you to be careful.

If you see anyone suspicious, report it right away.

Especially girls.

The victims have been girls, so be careful.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Stop it, guys.

Put the notice away.

Get out your textbooks.

See ya!

Hey, great.

Have fun.

Wanna go out?

Mail me.

Here you are.

Can I get your mail address?

I don't have a cell phone. Sorry.

Hey.

Tell me, how do you put on that happy face?

"All I Saw Were Dead Bodies" by Megumi

I've been looking for this.

"Works of H. P. Lovecraft" Volume 8

Have you read it?

Give me your thoughts on it.

You two.

Go home unless you have work to do.

We will.

Does anyone else know about your "hobby"?

About the hand-cutting murders.

I'm thinking about looking into it.

See you tomorrow.

Potassium chloride.

It's easily accessible.

Hey, look.

Pictures of the victims.

Welcome.

This is my usual seat.

The usual.

Coffee for me.

Sure.

Are you a regular?

Only the strangest people come here.

You'd fit right in.

I got mail.

Neither of the victims were sexually assaulted.

So?

The murderer is an artist.

He kills them beautifully and exhibits them beautifully.

He collects their hands as a record of his work.

It's so touching.

I don't think the police will catch him.

Normal people couldn't ever understand his motives.

But you can?

This is Mie Ando.

This is Yui Nagasaka.

They look alike.

Beautiful with long hair.

And cheerful.

Picky guy.

You look like them.

Are you making fun of me?

No.

Here you are.

Can I borrow this?

"Theory of Murder" by Fuboku Kosakai

You don't have a cell phone?

There's no one to call.

Oh.

Do you want one?

"MORINO" "No fliers!"

The murderer stood right here.

Is this your first time here?

No.

Me neither.

He brought the body all the way out here to exhibit it.

The victim was...

this girl.

Mie Ando, a 19-year old college student.

Her left hand was cut off from the wrist.

The second case.

Yui Nagasaka, a 19-year old student.

Her left hand was cut off from the wrist.

Hey.

Do me a favor.

Lie down there for me.

Right there. Lie down.

Yes, right there.

Lie down.

Are you going out with Morino?

Why do you ask?

It's nothing to hide.

We saw you two together.

Oh, I met her accidentally.

I don't buy that.

She doesn't talk to us, except for yes or no.

She tried to kill herself back in junior high.

For real?

She cut her wrist.

That would hurt.

She is kinda gloomy.

She never laughs.

Really weird.

But you like her, huh?

Well, she's cute.

That's for sure.

"Hand-Cutting Murders Possibly Related"

"Motive Unclear. No sign of sexual assault."

"The killer is enjoying his game."

Hey, Yuka.

Yuka.

Yuka.

Wait up, Yuka.

You're late.

Sorry.

This makes three.

The victim is another pretty girl.

Pretty, eh?

Ah, wait.
