Chapter 3

Good work.

Good work.

What?

Need to talk. Come over.

Yukawa Manabu

Naoki has not come back.

Excuse me?

He got involved in some kind of trouble.

What? - I'm saying, save Naoki.

Naoki?

Kanzaki Naoki. My sister's husband.

She's asking you to find her husband. - Who is she?

Older sister of Murase-kun over there.

I know. That's not what I meant.

Musase-kun is taking my research seminar.

I know that, too. I am off today after a night duty, -

but I came since you said you needed to talk to me.

I wanted to ask you to help her.

She should just go to the police.

The police won't help me. Even if I ask them to look for him, -

they won't help me, saying that there is no indication of foul play.

I don't know what to do.

But even if you ask me personally... - You're a detective, aren't you?

Is she really a detective?

I'm not lying.

I have a class now.

Yukawa sensei.

It's not like I want to rely on someone like her!

Someone like her?! - I'll leave the rest to you.

Hey, hey, wait a minute.

I'm always helping you. Now it's your turn.

Isn't she younger than me in the first place?

We can only ask an underling with a lot of free time to do this kind of thing.

This is my husband.

He disappeared a week ago.

He went to work and never came back... can't get him on the phone, either.

I waited till morning and called his company, and -

I was told he went out for a sales visit and hasn't come back.

They can't get hold of him either.

Where does your husband work? - They manufacture nursing equipment.

On that day, he went to a nursing home in Kugahara.

But...

Thanks for waiting.

My name is Kanzaki. Sorry for dropping by without notice.

Don't worry.

We don't know where Kanzaki-san went after that.

I see.

But I have an idea...

Where?

Near that nursing home, -

there is a home of a customer who he sold a wheelchair to.

She is an old lady named Takano Hide-san.

It seems he used to visit her whenever he was nearby.

He said he was worried about her because she was disabled and had a bad heart.

Umm...

My name is Yayoi.

Sorry. Yayoi-san, you went to that house?

I did.

And?

Hide-san had passed away.

What?

She died of a heart attack on the same day he disappeared.

On the same day?

Yes.

But... My husband must have visited here! (She is at the Takano residence)

Like I said, I don't know any Kanzaki.

Anyway, I'm busy taking care of things after Grandma's funeral.

Please leave.

Who were those people?

The person I spoke to was Hide-san's nephew.

Nephew?

I don't know about the other three.

The neighbors told me they started living there about a month ago.

They're suspicious.

In what way?

They leave the house at 8 p.m. every day.

What? You spied on them?

Of course!

They're definitely hiding something.

Hurry up! - Ok.

For what do they go out?

Depends. Going for a dinner, -

or playing Pachinko and going back home.

Anyway. For six days, every night they left at 8 and came back at 9.

But just because of that, assuming that your husband got involved in an incident...

There were sounds!

Last night, I sneaked up to that house.

What?

Naoki?

Are you there?

Naoki?

Naoki!

Naoki!

He must have been tied and could not talk.

So he made the noises asking me for help.

Please help him quick.

Even if you ask me... - You're a detective, right?

I don't have a search warrant.

Useless.

I told you I would only listen to you.

WHAT?

She can't jump to a conclusion that he's been -

confined just because she heard some sounds.

Our Community Safety officers say there are no signs of foul play.

We can't just go ahead and do a search.

Are you listening?

I'm talking about the case you pushed on me.

Failed again...

Please take me down.

Okay.

First of all, you only think about yourself, -

and yet, why are you so concerned about someone else?

When climbing, if your first step is wrong, consecutive steps will also be wrong.

It's essential to find a way to break the chain of troubles.

So what?

If she's troubled, her brother Murase-kun will also be troubled.

If he doesn't come to my research seminar, it will affect the progress of my research.

I need to try a different route.

You are worried about yourself after all.

She's deeply worried about her husband.

Are you going to leave her be?

- I'm ready. - Okay.

Why did you become a detective?

Okay!

It's not "Okay"!

Poltergeist

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Criminal Minds Team in @ viki

Looks like she was taking medication for her heart.

Takano Hide

There's nothing unusual in the death certificate.

As expected.

Missing persons cases are difficult.

In reality, they sometimes disappear of their own will.

She said it's not possible.

Maybe he went to another woman.

She said that would never happen.

Men... They just disappear one day.

When I came home, I found a letter.

It read: "I'm tired of you. Don't look for me!"

Do you understand how much it wore me out then?

I don't.

It will be hard for you to investigate this alone.

Indeed.

How can I help you?

We're from Kaizuka-kita police station.

This is Takano Hide-san's house, right?

Hide has passed away.

How can I help you? - Forgive us.

There was a report that someone heard weird sounds from this house.

Sounds?

You are her nephew, Takano Masaaki-san, right?

Who are the three people staying with you?

You have looked into it already?

My wife and our friends. They came for a visit.

Even though someone died in your house?

Please let me have a look inside. - Please wait.

You can't go in without a warrant.

Are you looking for this Kanzaki person?

I said I knew nothing about him to a person from your station.

What?

What are you talking about?

She was satisfied with my response, wasn't she?

Like I said, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Forgive us.

Utsumi, come with me!

Why are you acting on your own?

This could be a case of confinement.

Kanzaki-san disappeared, and his wife is really worried.

Community Safety Section must have looked into it already.

I came along since you said it might be a DV case.

Don't do anything that is not necessary!

You're saying you couldn't do anything?

I'm sorry.

You're really useless.

But... There's no proof your husband went there.

You still don't believe me?

I do.

Maybe he had some reason to disappear?

Impossible.

Did you have a fight?

No! - Did he secretly have a debt?

If you have time to be talking, then go search that house!

I can't do it just like that!

It's because you're just an underling, and you can't convince your bosses?

That's right, I'm an underling.

But it doesn't matter if foul play was involved.

That is if foul play was really involved.

I met an old person.

Old person?

At the nursing home where he visited last.

Your husband is a kind person.

Eh?

He always comes to talk to me -

and tells me I look healthy.

He remembers everyone's name.

He takes care of everyone as if we are his own family.

It was then that I became convinced.

There's no way he didn't visit Hide-san.

That's the kind of person he is.

You went to Seika Women's College?

Yes. My mother and grandmother studied there.

So, you're quite wealthy?

Everyone says the same thing.

"Weren't your family against your marrying a guy who was not elite or rich?"

They were strongly against it.

They even gathered relatives to discuss it.

But I wanted to marry Naoki.

If I can be with him, even If I didn't have any money, -

I would be totally fine.

What do you like about your husband?

There's no other person who has such a good heart.

Healthy Pregnancy Charm

Yayoi-san... Are you pregnant?

Yayoi... Are you pregnant?

Currently, I'm in my fourth month.

Exactly 8 p.m.

A rosary?

Don't touch anything inside.

Understood.

What's this?

Paper amulets?

Naoki?

Yayoi-san, you can't.

Naoki?

Where are you?

Answer me!

Kanzaki-san, where are you?

Naoki? - Kanzaki-san?

Earthquake?

It was a poltergeist!

It's true! Yayoi-san was with me!

'Poltergeist' is a German word that means noisy ghost, -

but you're much noisier.

Of course!

I'm still shaking.

Eh?

Aren't you going to say something like "I haven't the slightest idea"

or "This is really interesting"?

Draw a rough sketch of the house.

What?

Sketch?

Sketch...

The gate is here...

The entrance...

Eh?

Ah! The back garden...

Forget about it. - What?

Poltergeist have been reported from long ago, but most of them sound fishy.

That thing was real.

Actually, they moved things by themselves or just thought things moved on their own.

The whole house was shaking.

There was a case that turned our to be -

a children's prank after papers blew the story out.

There were no kids. It was psychic phenomena.

That's right. It must have been late Hide-san's ghost...

Old house.

There were many paper amulets inside.

That's the nephew.

He looked very alert.

His face was like "Cut it out!"

Go to the public office for me.

Public office?

This is a map from 1970.

Hide-san's house is here.

Is there an older map?

There is.

Why do you want to see an old map?

I want to see what was there before Hide-san's house was built.

Perhaps... There was a cemetery there?

Just give me the map.

This is from 1965.

Any others?

And... This is from 1958.

Older?

This is from 1952.

Hide-san's house had not been built yet.

That was a poltergeist!

Just as I thought.

What?

The poltergeist is related to Kanzaki-san's disappearance.

Eh?

First of all, the phenomenon that you saw -

started after Hide-san's death.

How do you know that?

If it had happened while she was alive, she would have told her neighbors about it.

But you haven't heard anything about that.

I haven't.

And now, the four people who live there are afraid of the phenomenon.

That is why they put amulets everywhere in the house and -

leave the house with rosaries in their hands every night.

I see. They ran away.

Why are they so afraid?

Why? Normally, ghosts are scary.

They might get cursed or haunted.

It's because they did something that would cause it.

And they don't want others to know about it.

That's why they use rosaries and amulets without telling anyone.

Hide-san died of a heart attack. There were no suspicious signs.

Why would they be afraid of Hide-san's ghost...

But we still don't know what kind of people they are.

And it's not Hide-san's ghost they're afraid of.

What?

They're afraid of...

Kanzaki Naoki-san's ghost.

What?

Mother and Child Health Handbook

Poltergeist...

- What? - It's a ghost. A ghost!

It's not there.

We've been looking all over the place, where the hell is it?!

It's definitely there.

It must be hidden somewhere.

It's almost 8 p.m. We should be leaving soon.

Let's go.

You're still on it?

It may be more serious than expected.

What?

The list of ex-cons? Criminal Database

I'm checking the identities -

of those people who are staying in the house.

Checking?

You don't even know the nephew guy's name, right? - I remember his face.

Face? How many entries do you think there are?

20,000. You won't find anything.

Now, we'll do an experiment to see how joule heating -

decreases electrical resistivity in substances.

Glass is an insulator, so even if you connect the wires...

Current does not flow.

Right?

Takano-san? The couple who did a moonlight flit?

The husband got into debt from gambling, right?

Now, I'm going to heat it up.

Takano-san did?

Yes. He said he knew a rich granny, so he could pay back the debt straight away.

Can you tell me about his drinking buddies?

What are the main ingredients of glass? - Silicon and Oxygen.

What happens when the glass starts melting?

The bond between the two will weaken.

And then?

When the glass melts, the number of electrons -

in silicon's conduction band increases.

So, the current is able to flow.

Correct.

As a result, this happens.

That granny has hidden her whole fortune somewhere in the house.

Whole fortune?

What I heard was Takano was being chased by a debt collector.

Debt collector?

Those guys won't leave until they get their money back.

What will happen if I stop heating the glass?

The resistive heating caused by the current flow -

will make the glass stick keep generating heat.

So, the current will continue flowing even if the flame is removed.

Exactly.

Sensei...

This is the same as your involvement with the police.

You were reluctant but helped them at first.

But they now take it for granted that you help them.

Just like this electric current that keeps flowing.

Look. In the end, it overheats and breaks.

I see.

So... It's important to decline their requests at the right time.

That was a good speech!

Okay. Let's go to the next experiment.

Okay.

But this time, it was me who got her involved.

Excuse me?

I can't leave her alone.

I wonder if Yukawa sensei has a girlfriend.

He does not. - He is so quirky, you know.

Then who was he talking about?

It must be the detective.

Didn't it sound like there was more to it?

Perhaps...

No way! No way!

He's an eccentric Galileo.

I wonder about that...

What they are afraid of is Kanzaki Naoki-san's ghost.

His remains are probably somewhere in that house.

Stop saying such bad jokes!

In your job and my research, we sometimes have to expect the worst.

But we can't stop.

We have a duty to throw our emotions away and find the answers.

There's no other person, who has such a good heart.

Currently, I'm in my fourth month.

Found it!

Your eyes are red.

I couldn't sleep.

Your cheeks look hollow, too.

I don't have an appetite.

Maybe I'm not suited to be a detective.

Sorry, it would trouble you to listen to this kind of talk.

I don't think it doesn't suit you.

But if you don't want to know the whole truth, -

you'd better let someone else handle it.

You wan't to know the cause of the poltergeist, don't you?

I'm not going to leave it to someone else.

If your theory is correct, -

a serious crime is going to be exposed.

Hello?

This is Tanaka from Teito Shinkin Bank.

I would like to discuss Takano Hide-san's inheritance we have here.

Inheritance?

Who is it?

Shinkin bank.

Who said that the old hag didn't trust banks?

Shall we go?

I would like to discuss the details in private, -

so please come to our branch at 3 p.m.

When you come, please bring a proof of identity and the personal seal.

I have no idea what's going on.

They're out.

May I help you?

Police. Please let me have a look in the house.

Wait, please! You can't...

Hey, what are you doing?

Just as I expected, all the conditions are coming -

together, like wear-and-tear and structure of the house.

This is a cement bag. What did you use it for?

I know nothing about that!

What did you come here for? - It's about time.

Call the police. - Um...

Hurry up! - Yes!

It's coming.

No way! - Why at this time?

Go outside! Hurry up!

Sensei!

This is the cause of the poltergeist.

At first, I only had a small debt.

But the sum increased before I realized, so -

I went to my aunt's house to borrow money.

However, she refused to help me.

And then one day, he came to get the money.

I'm going to repay you! Please...

Please!

Please...

Granny...

They're asking you this much, why don't you give them the money?

Give them the money!

Stop it, please.

Please stop.

Tell us where you hid the money.

Get the money!!!

Get the damn money! Hey! Hey!

Stop it please!

Where the hell is the money?

Aah!

Wait. Move!

Aunt!

My aunt had a weak heart.

I didn't know what to do, -

then that guy came...

Granny! Granny!

Ambulance... You called an ambulance, right?

Granny, can you hear me?

Granny!

Kanzaki-san was killed by Kondo, too?

I'm so sorry.

I caused such a thing to happen.

Physical objects have a natural frequency.

If the frequency of an external force matches it, -

the object starts to oscillate violently.

Resonance, right?

When I looked at the old map, -

there was an old manhole where Hide-san's house is now.

That manhole connects to an underground sewer pipe...

that is also connected to a nearby parts factory -

And that factory...

releases hot water every day between 8 and 9 p.m.

The steam coming from the hot water -

caused vibrations in the manhole -

and the house started to shake.

But this phenomenon only started after Hide-san's death.

Why?

I can only think of one reason.

The surrounding of the manhole changed because someone dug a hole or something.

As a result, the frequency that caused the manhole to vibrate -

matched the natural frequency of the room in the house, -

and it caused the phenomenon.

That's the cause of the poltergeist, right?

Because they buried the corpse, -

They thought it was a ghost.

On the day they were arrested, I called the factory beforehand.

I asked them to release the hot water at 3 p.m.

Excellent.

Yukawa senssei, you're marvelous as usual.

I want to be like you.

I see. Resonance...

This is the key to a safe-deposit box that Hide-san was using.

The fortune that the suspects were looking...

for was stored in there.

We found this.

In the pocket of your husband's suit.

Hide-san had entrusted Kanzaki-san...

with this important key.

In her last will and testament, -

that were found in the safe-deposit box, -

she wrote that she'd leave all her fortune to Kanzaki-san.

Eh?

The seal was not broken, -

so Kanzaki-ran couldn't have known.

Indeed, -

your husband was a really good-hearted man.

Thank you.

I'm glad I asked you to help me.

At some point, I prepared myself to face this.

At some point, I began to think -

that maybe he would not come back any more.

The tremor we felt at that time -

must have been a message from Naoki -

to say "I'm here."

Naoki.

I'm going to raise... our child responsibly.

So...

Rest in peace.

I didn't have the heart to tell Yayoi-san -

that it was not caused by her husband's ghost.

I guess it doesn't interest you, right?

Sorry.

Sensei...

Can I stay here a bit longer?

Then... I'm going to go out.

There's a shop nearby that sells delicious rice balls.

I'm going to be back in an hour or so.

Do you have any requests?

Eh?

You haven't eaten anything, right?

Salmon and okaka. (okaka: Bonito flakes mixed with soy sauce)

You and I have the same taste.
