Hello. Ron?

Yeah, I just finished work
and I'm on my way home.

What's up?

Do you remember Spitz Fire?

Well, how could I forget him?

About that matter he wanted
me to look into...

He wanted you to look
for his missing family, right?

Exactly.

Toto, do you think I should?

Well, he's been helping
with our investigations,

and when I think about his family,
I figure someone's gotta do it.

I thought you'd say that, Toto.

Please tell him you think we should do it.

You want me to tell him?

He's currently tailing you.

What? He's tailing me?

That's a crazy place to be watching me from!

Sorry, Tototo. I've got you bugged, too.

Oh?

He seems frail...

#12 The Case of the Yadagami-sama Murders (Part 1)

Thanks for having us.

Huh? There's furniture in here!

I'm not done with the place yet.

But this way, we can invite clients here,
or anyone other than the two of us, right?

And our inaugural first client...

is Spitz!

Nandan

You seem kinda out of sorts today.

Oh, no, not particularly!

He's freaking out because I've proposed
absurd terms of exchange for this case.

Terms of exchange?

If he can get his hands on the Bloody
Training Incident file from BLUE for me,

I'll start looking for his family immediately.
That's my proposal.

The case file?

But the police should have that, right?

I've already obtained Scotland Yard's
files on the case.

But a crucial section was removed

by an unknown actor.

How in the world did you get that?

That doesn't matter!

The important thing here
is that vital files are missing.

The investigation was a joint operation
between BLUE and the police.

BLUE should have everything they did.

I want Spitz to get the complete,
unadulterated case file

by breaking into BLUE,
and then bring it to me.

Can you prove your innocence with it?

That's also important, but I'm
most interested in something else.

Mofu-sensei said my culprit-killing disorder

may have been caused by some
kind of medical intervention.

And I have an idea about that.

There are three hours
I don't remember at all from

when I was being treated after the incident.

And the records of that time
were removed from the file.

So that's when it was done?

If we can find out what happened,

maybe we can figure out a way to deal with it.

And most importantly,

we should begin to get a sense of who it was
that stole five years of sleuthing from me.

To that end...

If you promise to get that file for me,
Spitz, I'll look for your family!

Enough, Ron!

Whether you get the file or not,
you should look for his family anyway!

Don't take this so lightly, Toto!

The odds of finding
his family are incredibly low.

We aren't doing volunteer work here!

Even so, you should still do it!

When someone's in need,
you give it all you've got!

Spitz has helped us!
He's our friend, isn't he?

That's all I needed! Thank you, Tototo!

I'm ashamed of myself for hesitating!

What?

When a friend gives their all for me,

giving all I have in return is my motto!

That's not what I was going for...

I accept your conditions, Ron-kun!

If you'll look for my big brother,
I'll go get that file!

Well, if you insist, then sure.

Don't do this, Spitz!

Ron is deftly setting us up
to do what he wants!

It's all right, Tototo.

I think I was waiting for him to do this.

Besides, after hearing Ron-kun's tragic past,
it's the least I can do!

You're a real pushover when it matters most!

Welp, with that decided, it's time to go!

What? You're starting now?

Hang on! You can't just up and go
to Europe or wherever.

Actually, we're going to Yamanashi.

In Japan?

My big brother went all over the world
researching folk beliefs.

He was an ethnologist.

This village we're going to, Yadamura,

is one he visited a number of times.

He disappeared eleven years ago
over the summer.

I happened to be on school vacation,
so I came with him.

Oh, so you were in Japan at the time.

A-A snake! A white one!

Shh!

I hear something.

This way!

Hey, Ron!

Oh, a waterfall.

It's amazing!

What's she doing?

That's... a hokora folk shrine.

Is it?

Wh-Who's out there?!

Sorry. My hand slipped.

That nearly took your head off.

That's dangerous!

I'm sorry. I'll be more careful.

If you plan on going any further,
do be careful, won't you?

Once we trek down this slope,
we'll be in Yadamura.

This is the village where my brother vanished.

I'm against it!
Yadagami-sama won't stand for it!

That's right!
There'll be more disappearances!

Are they arguing about something?

Hey.

And you would be?

Hello, Mayor! It's been a long time.

Oh! Now, if I remember correctly...

That's right. You're Spitz-kun!

I've brought some friends with me today.

Sorry to impose.
We came to look for my brother more.

If I might ask, Mayor,
what's the commotion about?

You caught us at an embarrassing moment.
It's about the dam construction.

A certain outsider is demanding
that everyone in the village move out.

Calling me that casts me in a negative light.

I'm a government representative.

Yadagami-sama won't allow you
to build a damn and drown the town!

Yadagami-sama's divine wrath
will strike again!

Yadagami-sama?

It's written with the characters
for "night snake god."

It's a deity said to have protected
this village since ancient times.

I see.

Ah, I'm an ethnologist. My name is Muroi.

I came here to research Yadagami, but...

given the uproar over the dam,
this isn't the time for it.

Firstly, let's all calm down, everyone.

They're not going to flood the village
today or tomorrow, you hear?

Exactly. I've only come
for the initial surveying.

If we let you do that,
it's like giving you approval!

Before we know it, we'll be
at the bottom of the dam!

Dear, dear. You need
to instruct them better, Mr. Mayor.

Instead of just teaching them
to have faith in Yadagami,

you should be teaching them to have manners.

I'll start work tomorrow.

If you interfere, I'll sue you.
Keep that in mind.

That jerk!

Will you stop?

Enough already. Scatter! Disperse!

E-Excuse me, Mayor!

If this place ends up underwater,
I'll be in a real bind too!

I feel the same way.

But it's what our country is asking of us.

Even so...

Now then, all of you will be
staying the night, won't you?

Yes. Would it be all right
if I borrowed the guest hut again?

That official you saw just now
is staying there.

I'll take you all to my house.

Wow, that really came out of nowhere!

It was clear just a second ago.

We call this sort of rain
Yadagami-sama's rage.

There are times when even gods
can't suppress their anger, you see?

Now, do come in.

Thank you for having us.

Why are you here...?

Oh, Mii-chan! It's been a while!

That was you at the waterfall, right?

You know her?

Yes.

This is the mayor's granddaughter, Mii-chan.

I haven't seen you in a while, Spitz-kun.

He's letting us stay the night here.

Really? Please make yourselves at home.

Here's my big brother.

This photo is from the day
before he disappeared.

We were going around asking the
villagers for legends about Yadagami.

After this, we went back to the guest hut
across the river to sleep.

When I opened my eyes the next morning,

I couldn't find my brother anywhere.

I thought he'd just gone out,
so I went looking for him, but...

You never found him?

I asked all the villagers,
but everyone said they hadn't seen him.

I went to the police immediately after.

The villagers helped them search
deep into the mountains,

but there was no sign
he'd ever left the village.

It was like he'd really vanished.

Like those tales of getting spirited away.

I've been wondering, Ron-kun, is that...

What?

Tofu, tsukemono, and wild vegetables.

And enough black sugar syrup to drown them!

May I try some?

Down it in one big bite!

They seem like they're having fun.

The rain's letting up.

The mayor went to the trouble of giving us
a room with a view of the river,

but at night, the scenery
isn't very impressive.

So that's the guest hut that
the official is staying in, huh?

Wait.

What?!

What's wrong?

What is that?

A giant snake? It's glaring right at us!

It's wrapped around someone.

Let's go check it out.

We're going out for a sec!

This is the only entrance to the guest hut!

Wait!

The ground is muddy from the rain
and there are no footprints.

No one has gone in or out here.

It's unlocked.

We're coming in!

What was that sound?

There's no one here.

The bathroom's empty, too!

They vanished?

The following morning,

in the pool of the waterfall near the village,

they found the official
dead of unnatural causes.

On his neck was bruising
that resembled the scales of a snake.

The cause of death appears to be

a blow to the head
from falling into the basin.

He has rope-like strangulation marks,

but no weapon has been found.

Don't worry. I'll avenge you.

So tell me everything, won't you?

The marks on his neck really
do look like snake scales.

Strangled by a snake? That can't be.

What you three saw was Yadagami-sama!

Yadagami-sama took the official
from the guest hut!

But there was no evidence of anyone
entering or exiting the guest hut.

Yadagami-sama would've had to whisk him away.

And you think that's not within a god's power?

That's...

Grandpa!

Why aren't you doing anything?!

Outsiders aren't supposed
to enter the waterfall!

Circumstances being what they are,
I gave them permission.

Mii, Spitz-kun is a sleuth now, and that man
next to him is a detective from Tokyo.

My! A police detective?

Meet Detective Isshiki. People
in the know consider him a great detective.

I see. Is that so?

And who is that?

I believe this gentleman is...

Oh! He's, um...

Ron-kun is a friend who shares my interests.
We collect rare wrapping papers together!

That's a very niche hobby!

By the way, Mii-kun,

what were you doing up there
by the waterfall yesterday?

I was...

I was leaving an offering for
Yadagami-sama at the shrine.

This waterfall is where we show our gratitude
for the village's protection.

It's tradition for a villager to visit
every day to make an offering.

All of you truly believe
that Yadagami-sama exists?

H-How dare you ask such a thing?
Of course he exists!

Just as he has until now
and will continue to for ages!

That's right! The divine punishment
visited upon the official is proof!

Don't you all think so?

That's right! He suffered
Yadagami-sama's wrath!

This is why we hate outsiders!

When did they show up?

I thought they were gonna attack us.

When beliefs are coupled
with an exclusionary attitude like that,

it can sometimes present as a
state resembling mass hypnosis.

That's exactly what we saw here.

I wonder what's driving them
to such fanaticism.

How were things at the waterfall?

Oh, you're that ethnologist.

Muroi.

And I heard that you're a detective.

Outsiders aren't allowed at the waterfall,
you know, so I got curious.

Is the rumor that Yadagami-sama
killed the official true?

We don't know if it was
Yadagami-sama or not, but...

So there really was a death...

I've studied legends of gods passed
down all throughout the countryside,

but Yadagami-sama is unique.

His legends are still alive, you see.

There are even reports
of his power of vanishment.

Power of vanishment?

There was a plan to build
a dam fifteen years ago, too.

But when it came time for construction,
all the heavy machinery disappeared.

What?

And your older brother disappeared
here eleven years ago, right?

Y-Yes.

When you spend time here in this village,

it's impossible not to
feel Yadagami-sama's power.

I once fell down the mountain here
and lost consciousness.

But when I came to,
I was no longer on the mountain.

I found myself lying at its foot instead.

Are you serious?

To be honest, lately, I...

I feel so enthralled by Yadagami-sama,

I'm thinking of moving
to live here in the village.

Muroi-kun, yesterday when it rained,
what were you doing?

D-Do you suspect me?

I went to the temple where
Yadagami-sama is enshrined!

Oh, I've been there.

It holds the shed skin of a huge snake.

They also have eyes and fangs,

plus hanging scrolls and old manuscripts
depicting Yadagami-sama.

It doubles as an impressive
museum and archive.

I see.

Temporarily Closed

But for some reason,
it was closed yesterday.

I had no choice but to go back
to Suzuki-san's house, where I'm staying.

What is it?

It's just that conversation from earlier...

Something about it is nagging at me.

Then why don't we try sorting out
the sequence of events?

At dinner, when we looked outside
from the mayor's house,

we could see a snake wrapped around someone.

We hurried to the guest hut,
outside of which was muddy,

but there were no footprints.

All of the windows there have bars over them.

Meaning no one got in or out.

When we entered the hut,
we heard a loud bang,

but there wasn't anyone inside.

What do you think that noise was?

The sound of Yadagami teleporting?!

That's on the table?!

I love a good occult story myself.

But, unfortunately, I've never
encountered the real thing.

Then you think there could be
some other culprit here?

Of course, I can't say
I'm a hundred percent sure...

I'm two hundred percent sure!

He went over a hundred!

Sorry to keep you waiting. Please come in.

It's a fact that we saw
Yadagami-sama in this room.

How did it manage to disappear?

Oh! Could there be a hidden room
or something somewhere?

Well, we searched the whole place.

The dust beneath the roof was undisturbed.

No sign anyone had been up there.

The walls and bars are sturdy
and can't be removed.

We turned over all of the tatami mats too,

but there's nowhere to hide.

I see.

But we did find one clue.

What?

This, here.

Nandan
Black Sugar Syrup

Ron's black sugar syrup!

So this is where it was!

I had it in my mouth when we rushed out
yesterday, but it disappeared at some point.

Look at that! You got
the tatami mats all dirty.

I'm sorry. That's something he dropped.

I see.

In that case, we have no other leads.

No... other... leads...

Huh?

So Yadagami really does exist...

And my brother...

He would've been powerless against a god.

Big brother...

You tend to be a bit of a baby, but you have
a talent for getting people to like you.

Find yourself some good friends
and take a path that lets you help others.

I expect great things from you.

Why...?

What's wrong, Spitz?

A white snake in the river!

It's Yadagami!

What? I don't see anything.

When you officers got here, where
was the bottle of black sugar syrup?

We replaced the tatami mats
after we removed them,

so it was right where it is now.

Detective Isshiki...

your expression says that you've seen
through Yadagami's disappearing act.

What?

You solved it, didn't you, Ron?

Living legends are created by the living.
