Teito University

General education classes are very boring.

I wonder when we will start practise surgery.

It's like holding a fork and a knife.

We're the music club! Go ahead.

Please join us! Thanks.

Aren't you going to join any club, Koshiba?

Ah, yes. Let's go take a look around.

- Oh, sorry. I can't today. - Well, see you later.

Hypotheses are only validated when they are proven.

Where is Yukawa-sensei?

- I'm giving the lecture today. - But where is he?

You can discuss that later. I'm in the lecture right now.

Well, where was I?

- Sorry. - Okay.

- You have an error. - What?

This formula does not match the spectrum of black body radiation with the infrared range.

The power must be discontinuous according to Planck's law.

You must add -1.

I knew that.

I wanted to know if anyone would notice. Why did you...

Did you understand? Got it?

Wake up your friend.

The fan is ready, the smoke is ready.

Please, Sensei.

Good, let's get started.

The experiment failed.

This is really interesting.

Under current conditions, there is an inability to generate enough air current.

This is an incomplete creation of downwinds.

From 2009 to 2010,

conducted in the US by the VORTEX2 project,

there is a lack of a horizontal vortex tube, which is believed to be the source of tornado's rotation.

Let's try pattern 5 for each parameter in the front end.

Yes, Sensei.

Welcome to Teito University.

I apologize for not greeting you earlier.

I am surprised you are a medical student.

You told me that you wanted to be a great scientist like your father.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

I wasted your effort for teaching me science.

Don't apologize.

A talented person like you

will make major contributions to the medical field.

Sensei,

has science really enriched humanity?

The biggest drive behind science is war.

I think it kills people.

A well-established example of this is nuclear physics.

The current advanced nuclear power generation is planned to

develop nuclear weapons during wars.

This is absolutely true.

Science and technology will have this aspect forever.

They are not only used for good.

It becomes a forbidden magic in the hands of evil people.

Scientists should never forget this.

Science exists to create the future and enrich the world.

I'm doing a tornado experiment right now.

Come and have a look if you have time.

Can I do that?

I am looking into the unexplained mechanism of tornadoes,

in addition to disaster countermeasures.

We also investigate its application to efficient ventilation systems.

Hello, sister? I met Yukawa-sensei at school today...

Hello... I am from Azabudai Police Station.

Koshiba Akiho, she...

4 months later August 2018

- Ah, did you do that? - Yes, I did.

- This is fishing. - It's kind of fun.

Right?

- Who was that? - It is a friend.

She's your ex-girlfriend!

- Show me then. Come on. - Why don't you trust me?

Do you not remember?

- Hey, what the hell is this... Oh, my god... - You'd better not betray me...

Seriously, who did this?

Scary! Oh, no!

One month later 20th of September 2018

The 13th Physics Research Laboratory Yukawa Manabu

- Yes? - Oh, excuse me.

I am Nagaoka, a freelance writer.

Is Yukawa-sensei there?

Yes, go ahead.

Sensei, you have a guest.

Thanks for coming. It's on the second floor.

Well done.

With no greeting?

Oh, young people these days.

Thank you for coming, sir.

- Ah, Kusanagi. - Victim ID?

Nagaoka Osamu, 38, is a freelance writer.

Hit with a blunt instrument on the back of the head.

Murder weapon?

We believe it's an ashtray the suspect took with him.

His wallet, phone and other valuables are also missing.

It's definitely the work of a thief.

Maybe the victim saw the criminal when he returned home.

That possibility is slim.

There is evidence that the prints have been erased.

If it is thief's work, he would've prepared gloves.

But there are thieves who don't wear gloves.

The victim also took off his jacket and socks.

So it's hard to imagine that he came across it when he returned home.

Thieves can break into a home even if the owner is present.

Wouldn't he have prepared a weapon in that case?

This was a recklessly committed crime by his acquaintance and tried to make it look like a robbery.

I see, but you don't have to be so quick to judge, Makimura.

Isn't that right?

Investigators are looking at all possibilities.

It is certainly an unlikely hypothesis, but the possibility is not zero.

- Sorry, Kusanagi. - You... You're just guessing.

Utagawa, you should call me Makimura, not "you".

Hey, someone bring a computer!

It's dated September 8th. This footage is from two weeks ago.

What is this?

The victim is Nagaoka Osamu.

Northern Kaizuka City Police Department.

He was recently investigating the "Super Technopolis" scheme based on the reports we have.

Super Technopolis?

It is known as the "ST" scheme in Mitsuhara City, Ibaraki Prefecture

It is a national public project to create a base for research institutes that deal with

the latest science and technology in Japan.

This scheme will save the future of Japan.

Former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology,

MP Ohga Gensaku, who proposed the idea, paved the way for it.

The victim is from Mitsuhara City.

He appears to have been a central figure in the movement against this plan.

Maybe he was mining for information.

It puts the scheme in a vulnerable position.

Let's investigate Nagaoka's friends.

- Okay, sir. - What happened to the video?

I know the warehouse where the video was shot.

But we were unable to explain the phenomenon.

But there is an interesting piece of information.

A similar phenomenon happened a month ago.

A motorbike suddenly caught fire in the Tama riverbed.

The motorcycle owner testified that he had entered the restricted area

in order to fish at night with his girlfriend.

Kusanagi, where are you going?

- Ah, just somewhere. - Teito University?

I've heard rumors about Yukawa-sensei.

I wanted to meet him at least once.

- Don't you have other plans? - He's a super genius, right?

- He's also an eccentric. - An eccentric?

He is only interested in the phenomena, not the details of the perpetrator and his motives.

He is not interested in investigations or individuals.

He does what he wants, he doesn't listen to what others say.

He scribbles on the wall and only annoys those around him.

Now I'm more interested.

If a stubborn person like you came with me,

it will get more complicated. So go back and do your thing.

I am interested in the clip.

He is here.

The investigator has arrived.

Hey, haven't seen you for a while. This is his assistant, Kuribayashi.

Nice to meet you, I'm Makimura Tomoka of the Northern Kaizuka Police Department.

No need for formalities, you're both looking for advice on a case, aren't you?

How provocative that you come whenever you like.

What? Moving again?

Sorry, I'm busy preparing for a trial. Come by later.

Don't be like that. Hey, Makimura...

What?

Ah, I'm Makimura. We won't take much of your time, Yukawa-sensei.

Ten minutes will be enough.

A minute passes like an hour when you put your hand on a hot stove.

Whereas when you sit with a beautiful woman, an hour passes like a minute.

In short, time is relative.

There is a difference between what you call 10 minutes and what I call 10 minutes.

Einstein's theory, right?

Is it okay to say that you're referring to me as the beautiful woman?

You brought another weirdo.

Yukawa, I have a strange footage.

I want to hear what you think. Makimura, show him.

Hey! Police business is police business.

- A hole has suddenly appeared on a warehouse wall. - A hole on a wall?

Yukawa-sensei, this...

Kuribayashi, put these things in the box, please.

What?

Put those files in the box, please.

Oh, alright.

- Go ahead, Makimura. - Yes. There were no traces of bullet and

no sign of firearm used at the scene.

- Is it a laser beam? - Laser?

Remember that case when a guy's head caught fire?

Lasers can't make a hole on the wall like that.

So what phenomenon is this?

Where did you get this clip from?

What is the issue related to?

It is not usual for you to be interested in police investigations.

I'm not interested in the case, I just want details about the clip.

Someone named Nagaoka Osamu.

- Killed few days ago. - That information is confidential.

Uh... sorry.

Actually, a month ago,

another similar phenomenon occurred.

Motorcycle caught fire.

There was a 3 cm hole in the fuel tank.

No bullets were found at the scene either.

A hole appears suddenly without the use of a firearm.

- A phenomenon like this... - Impossible, right?

Show me the crime scene.

Kusanagi?

Ah...

Mitsuhara Nature Conservation Society

"Forbidden Sorcery"

"Galileo"

- What an interesting character. - What?

How would you describe him as eccentric? He is also cooperative with the case.

He doesn't usually act like this.

To the next site.

It appears that this repository has not been used for a year and has been left unattended.

I believe the suspect used chalk to draw the target markers.

But please look around.

There is no sign of firearm used.

It is not impossible to shoot from the other side a kilometer away.

But this requires a massive weapon.

It is likely to leave traces.

This is indeed true.

The environment here is identical to the motorcycle site we saw earlier.

What do you think created the hole?

Let me check that out later.

I will accompany you.

- No need. - Let me leave with you.

- The station is far. - It's not necessary.

What? How will you get home?

The number you dialed is out of range.

Or the phone is not turned on.

Koshiba Shingo

Super Technopolis project

Nature is more important than science

Against Super Technopolis project Protect our valuable resources

These were also harvested from the planned construction site.

The smell of fresh vegetables is really different.

Mitsuhara City is rich in wildlife such as golden eagles and dragonflies

and other scarce resources.

We have lost a lot of natural areas due to large scale development happening here.

So Mr. Nagaoka joined the anti-movement

- to protect the environment. - That's not the only reason...

By the order of MP Ohga Gensaku, construction of a research facility began

dealing with radioactive materials.

Rumors started to spread.

This place was recently renovated, but it's still that way.

Joining the opposition will not make any money.

Until then, Nagaoka had been desperately trying to protect this city.

What kind of information did Nagaoka collect?

Recently, I heard that he was mainly focusing on Ohga's dirty work.

Did you hear anything about that information?

Did he have information that could force the project to be cancelled?

I don't know.

He would call us if he had anything.

Has there been anything different about Nagaoka lately?

There are no more protests or problems now.

Correct.

He missed a protest meeting last week.

Ah, he told me he had an urgent interview.

But this is not strange to him.

You must know who was going to be interviewed?

It was someone

named Yukawa from Teito University.

- Yukawa met Nagaoka? - Yes.

They met 3 days before the September 20 incident.

Why did Yukawa-sensei keep silent about it?

- I'm going to Teito University. - Wait, wait.

Continue your interrogations in Mitsuhara.

But...

- I'll take care of Yukawa-sensei. - Got it.

I'm going to eat mushroom ramen.

I'm leaving.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, you, wait. Do you doubt Ohga?

- My name is Makimura, not "you". - Sorry.

But he's a tough politician, you know.

- Just give up, okay? - Nagaoka was investigating MP Ohga.

We might get some clues if we interrogate him directly.

We have to make arrangements and follow procedures, you know.

Ah, let's try the mushrooms here.

It will calm your nerves! Hey!

A moment, Igarashi.

Yes, sir.

Find the link between Nagaoka Osamu and Yukawa Manabu of Teito University.

Concept.

The curse.

- Hey... Yukawa-sensei. - What?

By keeping quiet about Nagaoka,

- wouldn't the investigators suspect that there was a reason for this? - But they didn't ask me.

Why didn't you tell them the truth?

- The truth? - When you saw the video...

- you said you didn't know... - I didn't say that.

I just didn't say anything extra.

Understood.

I'll go out for a while.

I'll see you later.

Research Institutes Super Technopolis project for Japan's Future "He who controls science controls the world"

Sorry to make you wait.

- Oh, sorry for the inconvenience. - No, don't worry.

When I asked MP Ohga about this man,

- he said he didn't know him. - Oh, that's how it is.

He also has no idea about the accident either.

Naturally. Thanks for giving us your time.

Excuse me, but we'd still like to question him if possible.

Ah, for what reason?

There must be something that only he knows.

I have been working as a secretary since the time of MP Ohga's parents.

Mr. Okai, you know all about MP Ohga then?

Of course. More than he knows about himself.

Please don't...

No! Let's go, Makimura.

Do you have evidence?

Don't accuse people without evidence.

Even elementary school students know this.

- Do the Japanese police... - Uh... I...

I really apologize to you.

Let's go.

At this point, the flag nation revival is

still a dream.

First, we have to create the right environment.

You are... If something happens, I'm the one responsible.

But by saying he doesn't know Nagaoka,

- he's obviously lying. - I know that.

- So why? - Listen.

When Okai said he doesn't know him, he meant to say "get out of here".

Have mercy on me and remember this.

With this project, Mitsuhara City and then Japan

will get rich. That's what I believe in.

Your impulsiveness causes some problems.

Don't do anything like that again, please.

Great job what a great turnout.

- What about those people? - Those people?

Detectives who were here.

Ah, no problem at all, sir, mind your politics please.

Koshiba Shingo, a first-year medical student?

Yes.

He dropped out.

Drop out? Since when?

Since May this year, not long after admitted.

Looks like he already had a job.

Reason for withdrawal: May 2018 Kurasaka plant

Kurasaka Industry (Limited Company)

What do you want?

Sorry for the intrusion, where's Koshiba Shingo?

Are you from the police?

No, I'm Yukawa from Teito University.

Koshiba quit.

I see...

May I ask who are you?

I am Yurina Kurasaka. This is my father's plant.

Do you know what Koshiba intends to do after his resignation?

I don't know, we were not close to each other.

- Is there anything else? - No, thanks.

If Koshiba calls you,

please tell him that Yukawa from Teito University wants to see him.

- Okay. - Another request.

Don't tell the police about me if they come.

Towa High School

Physics Research Club I haven't seen Koshiba lately.

Do you know where it might be?

I think he met one of the teachers at the school.

Oh, didn't you hear that? He dropped out.

What?

How did you hear about that?

He came here once in May.

Koshiba didn't return the experimental equipment, right?

Right. He needed help because it was heavy.

But he looked unusual and frightened.

- Afraid? - He lost his sister.

So he left school and had to find a job.

- Makimura. - Yes?

- May I have a moment? - What is the matter?

I heard you went to an interview without an appointment.

- What? - Ohga Gensaku.

- No, it was an accident. - We have orders from senior management to stop.

I'm sorry... but MP Ohga is definitely involved in...

Don't jump to any conclusions.

Then allow me to speak to Yukawa-sensei.

You can't. He needs to focus on his research.

I apologize for disturbing.

- But I also... - Take this.

This is the call log of the mobile phone that was stolen from Nagaoka.

Get it right, I'm counting on you.

Okay, sir.

Shingo?

Cosine of 2x equals 2 cosine squared of x -1.

- Final exam? - Yes, can you solve it?

Let me see.

After all the effort you put into teaching me...

Frustration contributes to human maturity.

You'll definitely do better next time.

- Please correct this for me, master. - Okay.

Good.

All correct.

- Truly? - Yes.

What? Truly?

I am so happy!

Yurina, can you come with me?

Good.

Excuse me.

This is my daughter.

Do you know this man, Nagaoka Osamu?

I do not know him.

On September 12th at 2:28 pm, Nagaoka

contact this manufacturer and we want to know

who answered his call.

- Maybe it was me. - What are you two talking about?

I think he called to confirm the whereabouts of one of the employees.

Who was this employee?

Koshiba Shingo.

What else did he ask about?

He hung up right after that.

He is 19 years old and lost his mother at the age of five.

Then his father had an accident four years ago.

He also lost his older sister in April due to illness.

He subsequently dropped out of college and took a job at a Kurasaka factory in May.

However, he abruptly resigned on September 25.

- On September 25th? - Two days after Nagaoka's death.

- How is he related to Nagaoka? - The day before the accident,

someone saw a person who looked like Nagaoka arguing with Koshiba near the factory.

Also, take a look at this.

He was also a former student of Teito University. Is it a coincidence?

- No, I don't think it's a coincidence. - What?

Seems like it's time to ask him questions.

An important witness has emerged.

A young man named Koshiba Shingo.

He was seen arguing with Nagaoka the day before the accident.

We don't know his whereabouts either.

I have no comment despite your question.

He was a student at Teito University but dropped out after only a month.

Don't you know why?

No.

He was graduated from Towa High School.

That means he was your protégé.

Do you know how many protégés I have in this university?

It'd be strange if I remember every details.

- Where and what were you doing on September 20th? - I dont understand the question.

You've met Nagaoka Osamu, right?

Do you suspect me?

No, I'm not.

I will cooperate with the investigation, but the situation is different when it comes to interrogation.

I have no obligation to answer any question.

I apologize.

- Mr. Kuribayashi. - I don't know anything.

Yes.

Excuse me... Wait...

Kusanagi.

Mitsuhara Nature Conservation Society

This is Nagaoka Osamu for sure.

20th of September

Inevitably, he met Nagaoka.

- Does this make Yukawa-sensei the culprit? - Of course not.

Because he is your best friend?

If he is the offender,

he will not leave a single trace for police to suspect him.

What happened to "Don't jump to conclusions"?

Anyway, he was lying. I will speak with Yukawa-sensei.

Hey, wait.

First, we need to know what he is protecting.

We need to know all about Koshiba Shingo.

North Kaizuka Police Department

Did you stay up all night?

What is wrong with you? I will complain.

Seriously!

I was looking for something that interested me.

What is this?

The cause of the death of Akiho, Koshiba's sister.

Her body was found in a hotel room...

but she was being treated for an illness at that time

Blood loss due to ruptured fallopian tubes.

- Was she pregnant? - Her partner is unknown.

This is definitely something that interests you.

Akiho was also a reporter in the Department of Political Affairs

and she was investigating the Super Technopolis project as well.

What?

Anyway, I'm going to the hotel.

What? Hey, wait. What about the mushrooms... Hey...

Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait!

Yes, her body was lying on the bed.

There were two glasses on the table when the body was found, but they had not been used.

Someone was supposed to meet her.

But he didn't come because that was too much of an inconvenience for him.

Isn't this too much a coincidence that he couldn't come the day she was dying?

What are you trying to say?

If that person was here, he'd have called the ambulance.

Yes, but what if he didn't call an ambulance on purpose?

Why?

In order to hide his true identity, he let Akiho die in order to escape.

You are overthinking.

I'm sure one of the staff saw Akiho with an unidentified man.

I saw them, but it was on a different day, when I saw them talking in the hall.

Was this man?

Yes, I think so.

After graduating from high school, Koshiba was

the only remaining member of the Research Club.

Koshiba felt the club was in danger,

so he asked Yukawa-sensei for help.

Ah...

Ah, yes. Yes, there it is.

They did an interesting experiment at the welcoming ceremonies.

New students under the supervision of Yukawa-sensei.

Thanks to this, the club was saved.

Do you know Yukawa-sensei?

Yes, Yukawa was my student too.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

They are so similar they made an excellent team.

It was the first time I saw Yukawa so excited.

Uh. Even my students couldn't make something like this.

Thank you but I had to give up some ideas too.

Frustration helps one grow. You can always do it again.

This is correct.

I look forward to your future.

Please let me know if you have any dreams.

What are you ashamed of?

Our late father was also a scientist.

Is that correct? Why didn't you tell me that?

You want to become like our father, right?

- Sister... - Become a great scientist like our dad, okay?

"He who controls science controls the world."

That's what my dad always said.

The Olympic Games are a good example.

Whether it is training or necessary equipment.

"Only those who master mathematical science can win."

"Even if you persevere with all your might, it all depends on the science of the brain."

He always said this when he drank too much.

He rarely spoke about his work.

There are many factors that led to the development of science,

but the biggest driving force is the spirit of inquiry and hope,

seeking to enrich the world.

"He who controls science controls the world."

What a wonderful phrase.

Yes.

Yukawa was a true student.

But that's what worried me too.

I've been around this area.

I want to drink your coffee.

What are the advantages of instant coffee?

It tastes the same no matter who makes it.

The cup is dirty as usual.

It's just old but it's clean, don't worry.

- I went to Towa High. - Really?

Yukawa, why don't you speak frankly?

What are you hiding?

I wanted to avoid this.

Obviously, I can no longer do so.

If I answer your questions now,

you will know all about Koshiba's involvement.

You know...

When did you realize Koshiba's involvement?

From the beginning.

Nagaoka came to me on the 20th of September.

That was about the video.

Do you know any such phenomenon?

I will answer after you turn off this recorder.

I don't remember promising to have an interview with you.

Sorry, it's my habit as a reporter.

I can't tell you much based on this information alone.

I know the name of the person who created this phenomenon.

It's Koshiba Shingo.

I've been a mentor to Koshiba before.

He was using experimental equipment at the time.

I saw a picture of something in high school. What was that?

Electromagnetic gun.

It's a launcher that uses Lorentz forces, and the principle is very simple.

Ah, wait a minute.

Can I borrow a pen?

Oh, sure.

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

If you put a conductive material between two balanced metal rods and emit a strong electric current,

a conducting substance is transformed into a plasma by Joule heat.

The projectile's plasma shoots several kilometers per second,

and it is quite possible to hit a target a kilometer away.

You are kidding.

Koshiba must have used that railgun, right?

I found traces of the shell in the warehouse.

Shell?

The projectile in an electromagnetic gun is usually made of non-conductive material.

For this reason, no metal bullet-like fragments were left at the scene.

What else did you talk with Nagaoka?

He asked me one last question.

Can you kill someone with this tool?

The weight of an electromagnetic gun of this power is at least 100 kg.

It cannot be moved.

It is impossible to shoot a moving target.

What about a stationary person?

It would be best to use a knife or something similar.

The railgun is not a weapon.

It is an experimental device.

Why didn't you tell me this from the start?

Koshiba is not implicated in the crime.

- He was just doing an experiment. - An experiment?

He used the Kurasaka factory machinery to improve the accuracy

and the power of the electromagnetic cannon he created in high school.

Factory and motorcycle was one of those experiences.

I don't think it was just an experiment.

Last April in a hotel,

Koshiba Shingo's sister Akiho is found dead.

And...

the person she was waiting for may have left her to die.

This person was most likely Nagaoka.

Akiho became independent after her father's death.

Somehow she succeeds in getting her brother, Shingo, into university.

Not surprisingly, Shingo is angry with Nagaoka for letting his sister die.

You are exaggerating your speculations.

So why did Koshiba Shingo disappear right after the accident?

Why was he arguing with Nagaoka the day before the accident?

It makes no sense to treat him as a murderer based on this.

- Doesn't make any sense. - He made the murder weapon.

The electromagnetic gun is not a murder weapon, it is an experimental device.

But it can also be used as a weapon.

It is impossible for Koshiba to use science as a killing tool.

Impossible?

It doesn't make sense to treat him like a good person just because you were his mentor and know him well.

Honest people turn out to be killers all the time.

I have seen it with my own eyes many times.

Listen, Yukawa.

People change.

Put the cup in the sink when you've finished your coffee.

No need to wash it.

- Welcome back. - Thank you.

Unknown number

Hello, Shingo?

The police have come recently and Yukawa-sensei too.

What did you say to them?

Hey, Shingo. Did you kill Nagaoka?

Is this why you ran away?

The police are looking for you.

I'm sorry to make you worry.

This is the last time, so listen to me carefully.

What do you mean by the last time? Why are you apologizing?

Shingo, please. I beg you to give up what you intend to do.

I...

Yukawa-sensei.

- What is the matter? - I am really sorry.

It's my fault that Detective Kusanagi...

No, it's my fault, I should have told you the truth sooner.

Ah, honestly, I knew there was something fishy about Nagaoka.

Do you remember, when he asked to borrow my pen?

Can I borrow a pen?

Oh, sure.

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

But before that...

Sorry, it's my habit as a reporter.

I saw him carrying another pen in his suit pocket.

I was wondering why he didn't use that pen.

I'm sorry it is no longer useful to point that out.

I apologize.

What happened?

I have a hypothesis that I want to prove.

In here.

What happened to the pen that was in Nagaoka's suit pocket?

There was no pen. Why?

Nagaoka had borrowed a pen from Kuribayashi when he visited our research lab.

But he had a silver pen in his suit pocket already.

Why didn't he use it then?

The question is not why he didn't use it,

but that he couldn't use it.

Was this the pen?

Kusanagi!

Hey, where did you go without permission?

- I know who the culprit is. - What? Isn't it Koshiba?

I found this in Nagaoka's room.

A voice recorder pen.

Date, September 23, 9:34 pm

It coincides with the estimated time of Nagaoka's death.

More careful? Why?

What do you mean by why?

No problem if this article is published...

Ah!

I am sorry! Forgive me!

- This voice... - Yes, that's right.

Do you know this person?

What happened between you and Nagaoka Osamu?

Nagaoka called me that day.

I have a story that can crush Ohga.

The proof is here.

We can stop Super Technopolis with this.

Understood.

Nagaoka was in a rush to write an article with that information.

Nagaoka was your ally, right?

Why did you do this then?

Satan has defeated me.

The restaurant has gained a bad reputation from poor management and we got into debt.

So I provided information about the anti-Okai movement.

This is the reason for the weakness of the opposition movement.

But I still got into more debt...

I needed more money.

What will we do if I consult with everyone and the information is leaked again?

But you should be more careful when posting articles.

More careful? Why?

What do you mean by why?

No problem if this article is published...

Ah!

I am sorry! Forgive me!

It happened and I thought I was going to get money from that information.

Where is the evidence?

I gave it to Okai.

What kind of information did Nagaoka have?

Nagaoka had information about MP Ohga's affair.

- Affair? - He had an affair with Koshiba Akiho.

That means he was the one who let Akiho die.

MP Ohga.

- Look. The "J" is Ohga. - Uh.

Nagaoka seems to have gotten his hands on the emails exchanged between the two parties.

- I'm waiting for you in room 1960. - I'm here, I'm coming now.

Knowing all this, why don't you arrest Ohga?

Katsuta's testimony alone cannot prove the crime.

There is no other evidence.

But you have the real culprit now.

Which means that this issue has been resolved, right?

I'm sorry to suspect Koshiba.

You saved us, Yukawa-sensei.

Also thanks to Kuribayashi's observation to details.

You see? You'll be in trouble if I'm not around the next time.

It's not over yet, it's just the beginning.

But Koshiba Shingo has now been proven innocent, right?

Why did Koshiba create an electromagnetic cannon?

Why was he arguing with Nagaoka?

Also, why is his whereabouts unknown?

What are you trying to say?

It is not easy to get close to Ohga.

That's why he made an electromagnetic cannon to shoot from a distance.

Koshiba Shingo's target is Ohga Gensaku.

Not possible!

It's possible...

The reason why Nagaoka came here and showed you the video

was to see if a crime was possible.

Can a person be killed with this tool?

Nagaoka knew how serious Koshiba Shingo was.

But he failed in trying to persuade him to abandon his plans.

This explains why Nagaoka rushed to publish the article so that he could prevent the crime.

That means he's still in hiding

because he has not given up on the idea of revenge yet.

Hold on, Yukawa.

Are you going to act alone again?

There is a missing piece in your conclusion.

How did Nagaoka learn of Koshiba's revenge plan?

It's hard to believe that Koshiba gave evidence of the affair and the warehouse footage to Nagaoka.

- That's right... - So how did he know?

There is another person who knows about Koshiba's revenge plan.

Why do you think she knows?

She asked me if I was the police when I visited the factory.

She knew Koshiba was trying to commit a crime.

Understood.

We want to ask questions about Koshiba Shingo.

I don't know anything.

Koshiba did not kill Nagaoka.

Don't worry, they caught the culprit.

Koshiba is planning to avenge his sister's death,

isn't it?

We don't want him to make a mistake.

He called me yesterday.

This is the last time, so listen to me carefully.

What do you mean by the last time? Why are you apologizing?

I...

I will kill Ohga at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Groundbreaking ceremony?

Please stop Shingo from killing.

Shingo is not that kind of person.

I beg you!

- We understand that. Calm down, please! - Please!

- I beg you! Please. - Okay, don't worry.

- Please! - We know that.

Please!

When I saw the device for the first time...

What is this, Shingo?

Don't tell anyone what you just saw.

What are you doing? Why can't I talk about it?

"He who controls science controls the world."

This is a phrase often repeated by Ohga Gensaku on TV and so on.

He stole this phrase from my sister.

That's when Shingo told me.

About Ohga leaving his sister to die.

And his plan for revenge.

I met Nagaoka after a short while.

If he publishes an article about Ohga, we might be able to stop Shingo.

That's what I thought, so I took the data from Shingo's computer.

Why do you think this person is Ohga?

Shingo called the number to verify J's identity.

This is the audio file when you check it out.

Hello.

Hello? Who is this?

This is Azabudai Police Station.

Azabudai Police Station? What do you want from me?

It's definitely Ohga's voice.

There is this too.

- What is this? - I don't know.

He said that Yukawa-sensei was his mentor in high school.

Then Nagaoka was killed and Shingo disappeared.

I don't understand...

Koshiba was a bright student of mine.

Koshiba aspired to be like his father, a scientist.

However, he gave up science despite his intense enthusiasm for studying it.

And now he has chosen to use science as a killing tool.

"My father betrayed me."

This is what Shingo told me.

That was when Shingo...

I want you to trust Shingo.

Many people have used science for the wrong motives.

However, humans have a strong will to overcome their mistakes and walk the right path.

That's why I want to trust Koshiba too.

Go ahead! Congratulations on your admission to the university

Ah.

- Wow. - Really?

Yes, thank you.

"He who controls science controls the world."

"He who controls science controls the world."

These were my father's words.

My sister was serious about her relationship with him.

She wouldn't be talking about my dad if she wasn't.

He let my sister die.

I don't have any other choice.

Leaders are currently communicating with those responsible for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Understood.

- He's a really good guy. - What?

I'm talking about Yukawa-sensei.

He's not just grumpy.

Rather, he has a lot of trust and sympathy towards his student.

Yukawa is not affected by the emotion.

If anything is motivating him, it is...

- a sense of responsibility. - Responsibility?

Or should I say a sense of mission?

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Sorry to come at this hour.

I came to ask about Koshiba Keisuke.

Participate in the groundbreaking ceremony? Why?

Tomorrow's groundbreaking ceremony seems to be a very important event.

But someone's life is at stake.

- We can't say no because it's order from the top! - That's crazy!

- Utagawa? - Yes, sir.

Go to Ohga's office and get tomorrow's schedule.

Yes, sir.

- Igarashi? - We'll need cooperation from the Ibaraki police.

Regarding our security system...

Why do I have to work with you?

Don't act weird, okay?

- I know, be observant. - Remember you have a disciplinary record.

If a rumor like this gets to the media, it's all over.

Make sure the security team stay low profile.

If the offender is identified,

you should arrest him quickly.

We will do our best.

I did not tell MP Ohga that his life was in danger.

But it would be a problem if there was a dangerous person on the loose.

We will try to solve this issue soon.

Thanks for giving us your time.

Don't blur the truth here.

MP Ohga's life was in danger the moment he left his mistress

dying in the hotel, right?

- Say what you want. - Katsuta, the man you bought with money,

- confess everything. - It's baseless talk.

- How can you say that? - Makimura!

Let's go.

I said before, everything needs evidence.

If you don't have proof,

your words are nothing but sheer slander.

This is totally annoying!

You have already destroyed the evidence.

Just kidding.

Ha, ha! Let's go.

Excuse me, let's go.

Let's go, excuse me.

We're done!

My life as a policeman is over... Damn it!

But this is entirely your fault!

I'm sorry.

Damn, you give me goosebumps.

The curse!

Did you call anyone?

- I was going to call an ambulance. - You can't.

Please leave that room immediately.

But...

It must look like no one was with her.

Okay... did I made the right decision

back then?

She couldn't have been saved even if you had called an ambulance.

You made the best decision.

Sir,

you can't back down now.

Akatsuki Heavy Industries Koshiba Keisuke

Political Department, Koshiba Akiho, Age 28 Whoever controls science controls the world

Kusanagi Shunpei

- Hello. - Hey, it's me.

I couldn't stop Ohga from participating in the groundbreaking ceremony.

Where is Koshiba?

We still don't know where he is.

Tomorrow we'll work with the local police on security details.

This means that I will also be in the field.

- If that is the case... - You will accompany me, right?

After we settle the case, I'll treat you a coffee.

It's just going to be instant coffee anyway, right?

Didn't you come here last time because you wanted a coffee?

Ah, right.

We find something in Koshiba Shingo's room during a search.

It's a projectile blueprint.

Yukawa.

We will find him and stop him for sure.

Trust us and help us.

Am I under your surveillance?

What do you mean by that?

Orange peel...

- What? - Nothing.

Have you seen this man?

- No, I haven't seen him. - Let's go.

Foundation stone laying ceremony

This is a good location for shooting from a distance.

Good morning.

Thank you for helping us, Yukawa-sensei.

Where is MP Ohga's seat?

He will be in the middle of the front row.

Does MP Ohga plan to participate in other groundbreaking ceremonies later?

These are the only groundbreaking ceremonies planned today.

You will be delivering a speech after the groundbreaking ceremony.

This is the speech notes.

After the groundbreaking ceremony,

you will salute the Mayor and Director of Planning for the ST.

You will stop for some photos and then we will head to Mitsuhara Stadium.

And then...

The anti-movement is very active.

They will turn you into a villain again.

It is important to protect the beauty of nature.

But that just wouldn't satisfy humans.

This country has no choice but to sell its science and technology.

It's too late to regret it after all these decades.

Somebody has to throw mud at me now.

"He who controls science controls the world."

What?

It is a phrase to make everyone happy.

"He who controls science controls the world"?

What is this?

My brother is a medical student at Teito University.

- And this is his gift. - That's really cool.

It may be useful to you in the future.

I'm looking forward to it.

There's a social gathering after we meet with the ST.

- Then we'll go back to Tokyo at night. - Okay.

Let's don't go to the groundbreaking ceremony.

The police secure the place well. There is no reason to worry...

I am not afraid of being killed.

I don't want Akiho's brother to become a criminal.

If you're still feeling guilty,

there are even more reasons to attend the ceremony,

knowing that she supported the ST.

You can consider this as a memorial service.

They have arrived!

Everyone, be alert.

What do you do in a situation like this?

Now, we will proceed.

Ceremonies for laying the foundation stone for the construction of the ST.

We'll start with the ritual.

We have no way to prevent bullets fired from a kilometer away.

Make sure you find Koshiba Shingo before he shoots.

Ritual of the Gods. Please stand up.

20 minutes left, I hope nothing happens.

Bless the Mitsuhara Super Technopolis project!

Hey, have you found it yet?

No, not yet.

Anything?

And now the last rites, Mr. Ohga Gensaku, member of the House of Representatives.

Really? I will be there soon.

The electromagnetic cannon has been found.

Kusanagi, here.

- What is the situation? - Koshiba Shingo

must have given up on his plan when he saw the police.

Give up?

Yukawa-sensei.

The groundbreaking ceremony should have completed.

- We have avoided the worst. - I know.

Not really.

What?

- This railgun is fake. - Fake?

This is the electromagnetic cannon that the kid made in high school.

A device of this size cannot shoot a hole on the warehouse wall.

This means that Koshiba has another railgun.

Koshiba is not targeting the groundbreaking ceremony.

What? What do you mean by that?

If he try to aim the railgun from a distance of one kilometer,

he need at least one hour to prepare.

If he did not know the position of MP Ohga's seat in advance,

Koshiba can't target him.

There are also many people around MP Ohga.

It is impossible for Koshiba not to put others in danger.

He won't hurt innocent people because of revenge.

But he plotted to kill MP Ohga in the groundbreaking ceremony himself.

He took advantage of Yurina to mislead the police,

in order to transfer the security team to another location.

Makimura, where is Ohga now?

He will participate in the Youth Baseball Tournament celebration.

So he is heading to Mitsuhara Stadium now.

- A map? - Yes.

Over here.

MP Ohga, who previously played baseball, will be a pitcher.

He will play the kick-off against a former professional player from Mitsuhara City.

Kick-off...

Hey!

The map?

Koshiba put the railgun here.

There's no doubt that Koshiba targets a kick-off, right?

The thrower must stand in his assigned patch.

Only one person can stand on that board.

No other human being will be harmed.

It's the perfect place then.

- Stop. - What?

What's the matter?

I don't want to watch Koshiba being arrested.

I will leave the rest to you.

Hey!

- Let's go, Kusanagi. - Okay.

There is a possibility that Koshiba Shingo will target the kick-off.

We will remain vigilant for safety.

Please keep this confidential.

Yes.

Haven't you found the electromagnetic cannon yet?

We are unable to find it no matter how hard we search.

Is he really here?

Expand the search area. It must be nearby.

We can't find any area where someone can target the field.

What should we do?

That guy...

- What? - Hold on tight.

What's the matter?

- We will be back. Yukawa deceived us. - What?

The railgun is at the location where we left him.

He's trying to sort it out himself.

It's time, sir.

- Okay. - Yes, sir?

You have served me well.

Watch me, please.

Now, let me introduce you to our special guests.

Please clap!

We have a former professional baseball player, Hirosawa Katsumi, from Mitsuhara

and former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, MP Ohga Gensaku.

Do it, MP Ohga.

First strike!

Can an electromagnetic gun be used to hit a target from a distance of one kilometer?

This is a very interesting experience.

But it is not if the target is a human.

Yukawa-sensei.

I had to rewrite the main program.

I control the railgun now.

I took a good look at your railgun.

It really is a work of art.

Have you embraced the fan idea that I abandoned over a year ago?

Yukawa. Where's Yukawa?

He's there.

It is a spherical glass covered in resin.

Cast in resin at a 120 degree angle with shaped cutouts.

The resin begins to flake off in three directions as soon as it's fired due to air current resistance.

Like an orange peel.

The exfoliated resin acts like the blades of a fan.

It rotates the entire projectile.

This is how the orange skin can be torn off instantly.

It increases steering by means of residual rotational motion.

It also reduces airflow resistance.

Even so, based on my calculations, the probability of hitting the target is only 50%.

This is correct.

But I had no other choice.

Successful throw.

I am aware of your predicament. You are not a saint.

Yukawa!

- Yukawa-sensei! - Yukawa!

Thank God! We've come at the right time, right?

What were you planning to do?

Koshiba, I want to tell you something.

It's about your father, Koshiba Keisuke.

I think you already know, but

he had been involved in the development of landmines in the United States for twenty years.

Landmines?

I found out about it last summer... That's why...

After you know the truth,

as someone who really wanted to be a scientist,

you must have felt betrayed by both your father and science.

But there is more to your father's life.

More?

After retiring from the American company, your father went to

work for Akatsuki Industry.

I went there yesterday and asked about your father.

When the mines were being developed, he didn't realize

the extent of the real danger of landmines and what threat they pose

to the future of this world.

But one day, because of a landmine left in the war zones,

your father saw a child with both of his legs blown up.

It was then your father realized the grave mistake he had made,

and he felt very ashamed.

Out of shame, your father worked for the Akatsuki Industry and

participate in sensor technology research

in order to make machines to detect and remove landmines.

Something was written in your father's notebook while he was working at Akatsuki Industry.

"Landmines, as well as nuclear weapons,

are the worst things scientists have ever made."

"Science exists to save people."

"No matter what happens, science and technology

should not be used to harm or threaten life."

"He who controls science controls the world."

When we think of nuclear weapons and mines,

the meaning of this phrase becomes completely different

I'm sure your father used that phrase as a warning to himself.

He didn't want to forget those words.

Now let me talk about your sister.

You mentioned in a newspaper article, "It's a phrase to make everyone happy."

She must have understood the essence of science very well.

False throw!

What now, Koshiba? Whatever you are trying to do

do you think your father and sister in heaven would approve of it?

I did not teach you science to perform such an act.

But I don't want to force you to give up hope.

- What? - I will help you,

if you still want to achieve what you want.

After all, this railgun was my creation.

And I'll be the one to finish it off.

Sensei, what do you mean?

Give me the signal

when MP Ohga's head is in plain sight.

And I will fire the railgun.

Yukawa! What are you talking about?

He has two successful shots and two failed shots.

The round is ending soon. Hurry up if you want to do this.

You're kidding, right?

Do you think I'd be joking in a situation like this?

- Hey, stop... - Don't come near me.

If you approach me or the police try to contact Koshiba,

I will fire the railgun.

- Yukawa, do you know what you're doing? - More than ever.

You will kill a human being!

I am ready for that.

This is my punishment for not teaching science properly to my students.

I have to take responsibility as a mentor.

Kusanagi...

Move away from the electromagnetic cannon.

Move away quickly!

Yukawa, I'm serious too.

If that's what you want, as a detective, I'll have to shoot you.

I beg you, Yukawa.

Do what you wish.

Sorry, don't worry about us here.

Will you give me the signal?

- Yukawa! - What's wrong?

Are you giving up?

Well, looks like the game will be over soon.

MP Ohga's head is now in plain sight.

This is your chance if you give me the signal.

Yukawa-sensei.

Sensei...

Sensei...

I...

The ball appears to be a strike right in the center.

Looks like he got MP Ohga before you did.

Ladies and gentlemen, a standing ovation for MP Ohga and Mr. Hirosawa.

Thank you...

Now the tournament will begin.

Earlier, a car with MP Ohga Gensaku inside had arrived

at Wangan Central Police Station.

Suspect Ohga turned himself in last night.

He was arrested on the suspicion of leaving a crime scene.

The deputy submitted his resignation as a member of the House of Representatives.

Teito University

What? New York?

What? Didn't he tell you? He's doing research there.

He probably won't be back for a while.

I see...

I wanted to greet him, what a pity...

So what's the matter for coming today?

- Don't tell me it's... - No, it's not what you think.

I have news about Koshiba.

- He was accused of property damage. - What?

But it was a suspended sentence.

The head of Kurasaka factory offered to become his guarantor.

That's cool.

It appears that next year he will retake the entrance exam for the Faculty of Science here.

Also, I have a message for you from Yukawa-sensei.

"Kusanagi, I am grateful for what you did with the last case."

This doesn't sound like him.

And for you...

- Ah, what? - He said, "Even if a complicated case arises,

don't come to New York and look for me."

How could he say that... Damn it.

- This sounds exactly like him. - And also...

he asked me to make you coffee.

Didn't he say something like "taste is guaranteed"?

- Hey, what about me? - Why am I offering you a cup?

He only asked me to make for Kusanagi.

What? Can't you offer me a cup too?

- If you want to drink, go make your own. - What?

The taste is the same no matter who prepares it.

You shouldn't talk to me like that. Do you know TPO: Time, Place, Occasion?

Your concept of hierarchy is completely wrong.

Isn't that why you're forever an assistant?

How can you say it so bluntly like that?

Why are all the female detectives from Kaizuka acting like this?

- Shut up! - Make me a cup too!
