Finally. We can travel to any destination we want.

Boss, I don't think that's true.

Really?

Then stamp these numbers on the lottery postcard sheets

Lucky investigation numbers: "87" and "15"

Do we have to?

Yes we must.

My name is Hanamori Ichiko.

I am a detective of the 8th Metropolitan Police Department, Section 13 of Murder Crimes investigation.

Everybody here..

Wanko. -Calls me by that nickname.

What is it, Kiri-san?

Aren't you sending me New Year postcards?

Is it ok to do this here?

We do it because the Chief is not here.

The detective of the central government office, goes to work without checking the company employees. -When there is nothing for us to do, I just wait for the right call.

Because there's nothing else to do at the Central Government Office on a slow day.

It's so boring....

Who are you talking with?

You're acting like a senile old man!

-That's supposed to be my line.

-Coercive investigation gives birth to a false charge.

-False charge? When have i been mistaken? Tell him Yana.

Never. -See?

You're always uncertain.

What if you're mistaken next time? -I can say the same thing to you.

-Let's run! -You will ruin someone's life. Am I right, Yana?

Uh, right.

And you say that to me? After you "talk to the sky", you act like a fool! Right Yana?

What I do is to decieve the suspect,to decieve! -Decieve? Just say it clearly...

What's the problem with Koma-san and Shiri-san? -Always fighting about things too hard for me to understand.

Answer our prayers. Answer our prayers.

Does this really work?

[Note: This is a statue of Taro-san; not a religious deity]

Hmm, but you know, I get my strength for the day here.

Hey Kotomi,let's buy some dango (dumplings). -I just ate some recently.

Looks delicious right? -It is not candy, you know?

I could eat this all day. -You like them that much?

Omawari-san! ["Police"]

Help us please.

"Help us find Sakura"

So sorry, little kids.

This girl is an actual detective, and her job is to find out things.

I have a job to do but she will help you. Sorry i have to go.

Ah, wait! Kotomi!

There.

Here.

Sakura,Sakura!

It's close.

It's very, very close!

Here by the grass. -Really?

Really! -Call him.

Sakura,Sakura!!

Sakura!!

Sakura!

Sakura... -You're amazing, Onee-chan! (Sister)

Take him home and feed him. He must be hungry.

Ok, go, go.

Good job. -Thanks.

The victim is Sugita Ichiro, a teacher at the East Tokyo Elementary School.

He was stabbed in the chest, the murder weapon is still missing. -Ok.

Wanko.

What the heck are you doing?

I was the first one at the crime scene!

Then why are you lazying around on your bum?

Because I fainted when I saw the dead body!

My heart wasn't ready for that kind of view.

Is it ok to leave early? -You fool!

Don't underestimate the detective's job.

I know that now.

Police dog has arrived!

Mikhail von Alt Oppenbauer-son.

Mikhail!

Mikhail...

Please go after the criminal's scent.

Mikhail, search for it.

Is this the criminal's footprint? -Yes.

Mikhail, smell it.

Smell it.

It's amazing! He got the smell from a footprint. -The smell? -That's right,the smell.

The smell.

Wanko! what are you doing?

Deiku, go with her. -I'm Duke. -Look around for any cars in the area...

Does 'Wan' in Wanko come from "wan-wan"? ["woof-woof"]

This smell...

The smell of blood.

Blood?

Wanko, what are you doing?

What's that?

This is knife.

Yes.

Mikhail had been tracking the smell of the criminal.

We followed it up to the elementary school where the victim worked.

The pursuit stopped there because the scent disappeared due to too many different smells.

That's all.

During the investigation, a conference is carried out twice, in the morning and at night.

We talk about the results of the investigation of the day.

We asked the school workers for a possible suspect.

One possible suspect is Sakuma Shoujo, 43 years old.

He could have killed Sugita-san who was in charge of a 4th Grade class.

Sakuma-san was his assistant supervisor.

Sugita-san owed Sakuma 300000 yen,and it seems that he didn't pay.

He was having trouble with money.

I see.

His alibi is ambiguous.

Sure looks like our guy, isn't it?

It's too soon to say that.

Detective Kirishima.

Yes.

There's a another possible suspect at the school.

Fukazu Tsutomu.

His son was caught shop-lifting by Sugita.

Despite Fukazu's pleadings to spare his son, Sugita called the police.

Because of that, Fukazu threatened him and was heard saying

"I'll kill you if that's the last thing I do."

That's just weak. -Well, he has no alibi.

Um, Detective Yanagi, your report please. -Yes.

Excuse me.

According to a witness

Around the time of death, the victim was seen talking to a suspicious man wearing a knitted cap

who was sitting at the railway station.

The man with the knitted cap was of medium body size, age is unknown.

Average in appearance.

Looks like 2 different people.

Boss boss!

Excuse me...Excuse me.

The weapon was a- -In Japanese!

What a fool.

The murder weapon is a knife, with a length of 15 cm.

It was found 500 meters from the scene in a trash pile

Detective Hanamori found it...

Yes, it was me.

With this nose. -The knife was made by Cordhound Fall Anderson Co and according to the internet...

Sorry but there's one more thing. -Ok.

A witness heard the suspicious man say, "Do not interfere."

"Do not interfere?"

Yana. -Yes.

Let's go to the school. -Hey Yana!.

Yes? -Let's go.

Detective.

You're here again?

Sakuma-san.

Excuse us for meeting with you again.

That teacher treated my son like crap.

But shop-lifting is a crime!

What did you say!?

You people.

I won't cooperate with the investigation anymore!

Why are you being so difficult! -Kiri!!

Please tell us your alibi again.

I have nothing to hide!

Huh? Hey, what the heck's this??

Excuse us, but it's our job.

Can you just tell us one more time.

You people.

Chanko-san!

The smell of that guy doesn't match.

Looks like a 'Monpe', huh?

"Monpe?"

Wanko, you find out more about the knife.

"Monpe?"

[Monpe - garden pants for women"]

Not THAT 'monpe!' They meant 'Monster Parent.' -Monster Parent?

It's that kind of troublesome parent.

Oh, I get it!

Despite being a smart teacher, Sugita-sensei seemed to have been in trouble.

Did you know about him, Kotomi? -Yes.

Sugita-sensei started the free bicycle class at the school.

I attended those classes and saw him in meetings.

Is that so?

Is there anyone who hates Sugita-sensei?

No.

But somehow, I sensed that he and Sakuma-sensei don't get along well.

I'm going now to the meeting for the bicycle class. Wanna come?.- -Sure.

I'm sorry that such a thing happened to Sugita-sensei. --Thanks for the hard work.

I'm alone dealing with the classes now.

So I would be needing some help.

I'm Sakuma.

I'm Aoki. --I'm Hanamori.

Stop it Ichiko!

This girl is a police officer?

She's not in my department.

Sakuma-sensei, just a second. --Yes.

Excuse me just a second.

Sakuma-sensei, would you accompany us to the office.

I'm under arrest? --No, this is a request.

If it's optional, can I refuse? --It doesn't matter.

But just to let you know that there's a problem with your alibi.

Come on.

Koma-san, Yana-san.

Ah, what are you doing here?

Let's go.

That man is not the one!

Ichiko, what's wrong?

It's wrong, the smells don't match.

When Sugita-san was killed, you were at a friend's house right?

Yes.

You've already check that right.

Yes, it's confirmed.

But we think that you're lying to us.

That's a lie.

Because he owed you money is not enough reason right?

It's true I lend him money, but...

I didn't do it.

If you didn't do it, then why is your alibi seems fake? --That's because...

Koma, just a sec.

Koma.

Let me take care of this. --You must be joking.

I'll handle it from here.

Why can't i do it?

Uhm...

Boss, Fukazu's alibi has been confirmed.

What!

That means...

That Koma is on to something with Sakuma-sensei..

I told you so. --You're wrong, Sakuma-san didn't do it. --Shut up!

Shige-san,let Koma do this. --OK?

What can i do to make them believe me..

If this continues, Sakuma-san is going to jail.

What's that?

That's right.

I'm gonna find the real criminal.

Ok, it's time for you to eat.

Oh no.

It's empty.

No food left.

Excuse me. --Yes?

Do you have any dog food.

Isn't there any on the shelf?

Excuse me.

Obayashi-san, you killed Sugita-sensei didn't you?

What did you say?

Don't say weird things. -Or I'll report you.

To whom? -To the police.

Damn, I'm in civilian clothes.

Thank you, please leave.

But I'm a po-.... -Thanks for coming.

...And that's my report.

Fine. If there are no other reports...

We can just.. --Boss.

What is it, Hanamori?

I know who committed the crime.

He's Obayashi Takashi, 29 years old, employee at a local supermarket

Hanamori, what do you mean?

The smell left in the scene and the one from Obayashi Takashi is the same.

Was it from a crime lab report? --No.

I solved it, thanks to this.

You're an embarassment, sit down.

The time when Sugita-san was killed matches his work shifts at the store.

And I also confirmed he didn't go home after work that night.

He was also doing delivery services, and makes constant deliveries to the school where Sugita-san worked.

That's why Mikhail was able to track his smell back to that school.

Boss, what do you think?

Well, if they did match...

Maybe, he was in the wrong premise. -Premise?

Does she have nose just like that of a police dog? --That's right!

I competed against Mikhail in a "smell" test.

Igarashi-san knew about it. --Right. And Igarashi is now suffering in jail.

Meeting's over!

Everybody, please believe me!! --Duke.

The info about the knife is ready?

Almost. --Koma.

Please go with them since you're the one in charge of that jurisdiction.

Huh, me? --Looks like I'll be handling Sakuma after all.

Whatever. Let's go, Deiku.

I told you, it's Duke!! --Shut up, so annoying.

Yana. --Yes.

I get it now.

Please let me go now.

Not yet, 2 cards left.

I see.

What is it?

Oh, no.

Bad...bad.

. -What is it??

What the hell? --Looks like he's using the Tarot Card attack.

First time I've seen it.

The power of your smell is something nobody wants to believe.

I was thinking the same thing.

But even the smell can't be taken as evidence.

It's not enough to prove it.

You say the same thing that everyone says.

What should I do?

It's a fact that every crime has a motive.

This is not the case of an impulsive murder. There is a motive behind it.

Motive.

Focus on that.

According to a witness, they heard a man say "Don't interfere."

So, there was a person who heard the killer.

I wonder what would be the thing Sugita-san shouldn't interfere with?

Do not only think about it.

Find out using your nose.

and not only that.

Eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet.

Use them all to investigate - over and over again.

Then use your head to think about all of these.

Yes.

There's not enough teachers to watch the kids on both sides.

It's ok if they all be on the same side?

It's going to be difficult to watch them all but it's safer this way. --Really?

Can we move it this way, teacher?

So you've noticed him, too, huh?

Yes, I've seen him.

You have any cool theories about him?

Well, he seemed like a creepy kid.

Hmm...

I've seen him doing his deliveries at the school.

And he's always there during bicycle class periods. --Seemed to be always staring at me.

Stalker?

I'm such a sinful woman, right?

I got it!. --What?

The criminal was heard saying, "Don't interfere!"

Maybe he got too close to me at the school.

And Sugita-sensei found out, and warned him.

"Leave that beautiful woman alone!"

That's why he was told not to interfere. Now I get it!

Thank you for the food!

You're welcome. --It was good...

You visited Igarashi-kun, right?

Yes.

He said "Say hello to the Chief for me." --Is that so?

Yes. --Well, then.

Oh, you want to come in? --Yes.

Please do.

Chief. --Yes.

What's up with Koma-san and Shige-san?

Komatsura and Shigemura?

They're always arguing about nonsense things.

Those 2 always had been that way. --They started out as cops at the same time, right?

But Shige-san got promoted early. And Koma might be a bit jealous...

I don't know about that. --Even if Koma-san is smaller, he's not afraid to stand up to him.

It is a wonder.

You think those two will be alright? --Don't worry about it.

For some reason,when I speak with you, Chief, I feel like everything will be ok. --Hmm.

You smell like lilies as always.

Do your best at the investigation.

Yes!

Koma.

Are you sleeping?

Just taking a break.

I'm not like you who's always busy working.

Sakuma got released.

His alibi was proven.

But he wasn't at his friend's house. He was secretly meeting up with a married woman at a hotel that time.

Really?

Chanko took him home.

Where are you going?

Back to the investigation.

Keep an eye out on someone.

I'm concerned about Wanko.

Wanko, where are you?

I'm tailing someone.

Who?

Sorry. But he may hear me. --Wait, just a...

Fertilizer?

So he lives here.

Guess this is where I'll be doing my stake-out.

This one!

This one? Here you go, thank you! --500 yen..

Yes, thank you.

Ah, Koma-san! --Don't 'ah!' me.

Thank you very much! -Change please.

What are those?

Your afternoon snacks?

For my stake-out.

Stake-out food should be sweet bean bread and milk.

So.

That man has a motive to kill Sugita-sensei? Who was it... that police woman.

Aoki Kotomi from the Transportation Department.

Maybe because Sugita was stopping him from pursuing her.

Yes, he was Kotomi's stalker.

I see.

Aren't you going on a stake-out with me?

Koma-san is acting strange today.

Found her...Aoki Kotomi.

Doesn't look like a stalker's prey.

I'm back. --Good job.

Good looking woman isn't she? -What's your relationship with her, Koma-san?

I'm glad I'm wearing warm clothes.

First day of stake-out: complete.

I should take some evidence.

Where did he go?

A home farm?

You're really an annoying woman.

Do you wanna die

Just like Sugita-sensei?

Is that..a confession?

That's right.

Obayashi Takashi,you're under arrest for the crime of murder.

Under arrest?

By who?

A detective dressed like an otaku? You don't even have a gun.

We can dress anyway we want. And we bring guns only

when we need to... --I wonder, if you had a gun, would you kill me?

Let me go. --Not until tomorrow ends.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is the Bicycle day at the East Tokyo School!

Tomorrow, I will make that person mine forever.

"That person..."

What do you mean "make that person mine"?

We're definitely gonna catch you!

Somebody?

Can anybody hear me?!!

-Your call will be forwarded to a voice mail.-

"The one who commited this crime is 29 year old Obayashi Takashi."

"Aren't you going on a stake-out with me?"

Thanks for coming!

What is it?

Wanko's missing.

She didn't come back from last night.

But we tracked Wanko's cellphone with GPS.

Where is it? -Got it!

I want you to search the owner of this phone. -Yes.

Mikhail, sniff!

What's wrong, Mikhail? What's bothering you?

Whose phone is this? --It belongs to Hanamori Ichiko.

Oh, that's why..

What's wrong?

Mikhail seemed concerned about her.

About Hanamori? --Yes.

I know how you feel.

But her life may be in danger.

Please search for her.

Mikhail! --Great!

Go!

Search!

Search!

Wanko!

Wanko!! --Oh, good morning!

I overslept! --Forget about sleeping!

The guy from the store did this to you?

Yes, and he even confessed that he killed Sugita-sensei.

Damn. To think I was with him at that store!

Please untie her. --Yes.

Hey, Kiri.

I got Wanko. Go and arrest Obayashi at the Eastern Grocery Store.

This is an urgent matter!

Don't go by yourself, get some back-up.

Hurry!

Is there a man named Obayashi working here?

That's me.

Can we have a word with you?

Is this about that weird detective girl?

You're trying to mess with us!!?? --He's admitting it.

What's so funny, you bastard!! -Stop it!

Shut up! What's so funny?!

Come on, get back.

Koma-san.

Aren't you going to interrogate him? --Hmm, maybe so...

Good job.

I'll leave it all to you.

Koma-san. You're going to hand this over to Shige-san? --Might as well...

Everybody, be sure to listen well.

Don't play dumb with us!! --Kiri!

I..

Killed Sugita-sensei.

Motive?

He was interfering with the relationship I had with that person.

That person?

Who is it? --Kiri!!

Calm down. -She's a goddess.

Great, good job.

Hanamori-kun.

You did it all by yourself.

But somehow, it's odd. --Odd?

Yes.

Odd indeed.

Why did he confess that easily?

Wait, wait, wait..

He even confessed when we talked to him at the store.

Normally, you would run away after being suspected.

But instead he went back to work at the store.

Yeah, you're right.

I wonder what's he's thinking?

Just a sec, you guys already arrested him right? Bicycle class is gonna be ok. Ok!

Once you see the blue flag, raise your hand and walk.

Good job.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

It's about the house where Wanko was locked up? --Yes.

I feel that something's off.

Yeah.

Indeed.

Charcoal fertilizer..

Sulphuric powder...

Nythric acid potasium.

Chanko, cancel the Bike class and evacuate all the people right now!!

Obayashi, where's the bomb?

Bomb? --Don't lie!!

With all the chemicals that were found at the house in the farm!

All those ingredients can be used to make black powder!!

Finally you guys found out.

Where is it?

Is this kind of violent interrogation ok, Shige-san?

Many lives are at stake!

I'm looking forward to the explosion. --Where did you hide it?!

Boom.

You bastard..

Is everyone out?

Almost done. --Hurry with it!

Koma-san, Wanko left awhile ago and hasn't come back. --Got it.

Where are you, Wanko?

I went back to take a look at the shed where I was locked up.

Hold on a sec.

What is it, Shige?

Obayashi hid a bomb at the school.

Such a familiar smell....

Where did I smell this before....

Wanko, get out of there now!

What's wrong, Koma-san?

Don't ask, just get out! --Yes.

Oh, I think I found something. Hold on a sec.

It's a bomb! --Ruuuuuuuuun!!!

Wanko...

Wanko!!

Yes...

Wanko here.

Koma-san..

That really surprised me!

I'm more surprised than you!

Hurry up and go back to the school.

Yes.

Let's go.

Ok, I got it.

I'm feeling dizzy. --Kotomi!

Ichiko...

Thank God, you're ok.

Police dog has arrived.

Let's go.

First, please go check over there.

Yes.

Ok,let's go.

Yana.

Take care of Police Officer Aoki.

Yes!

The bomb was made with black gunpowder.

Understood.

Mikhail. --Chanko-san

I'll help search too. --It's dangerous.

Let Mihail take care of it. --Don't worry.

Wait, it's dangerous.

Don't worry.

Let's search.

Search.

There's no bomb in this car. --Yes, no bomb here.

Search for it in all possible places.

Yes. --Mikhail.

W-..wait a minute.

"I'll make that person mine forever."

"That person is a godess."

That time he wasn't looking at Kotomi..

Koma-san!

Are you ok? --Yes.

Obayashi's target is Takahashi-sensei. --Come on.

Takahashi-sensei!!

Chanko, take care of the teacher. --Yes.

This way.

Where's the bomb?

Mikhail..

Where could the bomb be?

Mikhail, let's find it.

Mikhail, go!

Here it is.

Careful!

That's dangerous! Leave it to the bomb squad.

Hey it's over here!! --Don't worry, I just need to choose one.

The blue wire or the red wire. Which one will I cut?

Yellow? Green? Orange?

Which one? --Move!!

We did it!

Mikhail...

Thank you.

Everything's fine here.

Shige.

Don't hold back on that damn Obayashi.

You don't have to tell me, I'm doing it anyway.

Check mate!

Let's play again. --Game over.

You were too slow --Next time run faster.

Better to reduce the soles of your shoes. -What am I, a wild boar?

Easy for you to say since you always stay in a safe place.

You're being too over the edge. Am I right, Yana?

Think what you want but you don't know anything about style.

What do you think of this color?

He thinks it is so cool? But it's not!

Chief! --What do you think of the Section 13?

Yes.

I smell trust.

Good.
