West Aoba to Kanagawa Headquarters.
Police officers arrived at Seike Soichiro's residence in Shirano town, Aoba district, Yokohama.
A man in cardiorespiratory arrest has been found in the living room.
Lodged in his back, is an eyeleteer, believed to be the murder weapon.
It's probably Tozaki.
12 Hours ago
- Good evening, father. - Hmm.
It seems there was a robbery.
I know. They say he was stabbed with an eyeleteer.
Eh, is that so?
Is there any change in my daughter's situation?
- Yes, they're getting along. - She's keeping her vow, isn't she?
Of course.
Now then, can I get this month's payment?
You're wearing a ring.
It's a recent purchase. I bought it on impulse.
Let me see.
You can't see it.
I'm asking you to let me touch it.
Ouch, ouch, ouch... ouch!
Poor thing.
- Eh? - Amagi-kun.
Did you count the contents?
Oh, that's right.
I was so drunk I forgot about it.
You promised 500,000 yen, right?
- You're 10,000 short. - That's funny...
Oh, here it is.
I think Tozaki did it.
He broke into the room in the previous case too. Maybe he's gotten bolder.
- Thanks for your hard work. - Amagi Yasunori, 37 years old, unemployed.
#11 The Punishment of Divine Retribution
He is married to the daughter of Seike Soichiro.
Mr. Seike lives in this house.
The first person to find him and report the crime was Mr. Seike.
He reported that “my son-in-law appears to have been murdered in my home”.
- Why did he say "appears"? - Because he's visually impaired.
He's a professor of organic chemistry at the Chikushi University of Engineering.
He lost his sight two years ago in an accident during an experiment where he was exposed to toxic chemicals.
He's semi-retired now.
His wife passed away and he lives alone.
Thank you very much.
- Who are you? - I'm the daughter, Saki!
You're Amagi Yasunori's wife, right?
Yes.
Where's my husband?
We're still working on the forensics, so please wait for the coroner to arrive.
- And my father? - He's upstairs resting.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
This way.
There were signs that someone broke in and escaped.
- We'll compare it against Tozaki's. - What's the golden rule of investigation?
Suspect the people closest first.
Excuse me. Good morning.
I'm Hayata with the Prefectural Police's Investigation Department.
Professor Seike.
I'd like to ask you how you found Mr. Amagi.
Yesterday... Yes, around 8:00 p.m. was it?
Amagi-kun came.
He doesn't work.
I was giving him 500,000 yen every month for living expenses.
He was here to collect it.
He kept drinking, so I left first and went to bed.
It happens all the time.
Is there anyone else here?
- This is my instructor. - My name is Kazama.
- Are you a detective too? - Yes, I am.
- Professor. And then? - I got up in the morning.
I went to the living room and I tripped over something.
It seemed to be Mr. Amagi. I could tell by touching his ring.
Thank you.
Does Ms. Saki have any idea who the murderer is?
I don't know.
Excuse me, Professor.
Could you take off your sunglasses?
Can you open your eyes?
The autopsy results are in.
The victim is confirmed dead.
Thank you very much. That's all for now.
Do either of you know a man named Tozaki Haru?
He is 35 years old. About 175 centimeters tall.
No.
- Did Mr. Amagi mention him? - I think I've heard of him...
- Where and when? - That's enough.
You look tired.
Thank you for your time. Excuse us.
Thank you very much.
- Professor Seike couldn't have killed him. - Tell me why not.
If you're blind, if he dodges or grabs your hand, you're done for.
Then what about his daughter?
I don't think she did it.
When the forensics declared the victim was dead,
she was audibly surprised.
It wasn't an act.
Please go ahead first.
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm going to arrest Tozaki for sure.
We need your support too.
Cheer up.
Yes.
There's no new information on the whereabouts of Tozaki.
We are expanding our deployment to wider areas,
and thoroughly conducting checkpoints and interviews at major train stations.
- Focus on the case at hand. - Judging from the circumstances,
There's a good chance that Tozaki did this.
- Don't assume anything. - What are you saying?
He used an eyeleteer.
The 500,000 yen the victim received is missing.
Were there any fingerprints found on the murder weapon?
Whose footprints were found at the crime scene?
Any witnesses?
Don't you want to catch Tozaki?
Mr. Kazama doesn't deny every possibility.
Ms. Hayata, you heard a lot of what he said, haven't you?
Think for yourself and come up with an answer.
Didn't you notice?
There's something unnatural about it.
Everything you see and hear, is relevant.
The one who is hurting the most is Kazama himself.
Tono was right in front of him...
Cheer up.
I apologize for earlier.
Allow me to report.
The murder victim, Mr. Amagi, had been arrested for fraud and served time in prison.
He was arrested for the so-called "dating scam".
It's a method where he gets involved with a woman and asks her to invest in him
and cheats her out of her money.
There are several victims who all hate him.
Remember the woman in front of his house? She was one of them.
She laughed when I told her about the incident, saying it served him right.
His wife Ms. Saki is an ophthalmologist.
She's been on leave for 3 years and the couple have no income.
- What about Professor Seike? - From what I heard at the university.
He's like a Buddha.
A few years ago when a co-researcher fabricated a paper,
Rather than accusing him,
he took responsibility too and offered to reduce his pay.
He's reputed to be a man of considerable character.
Do you think Tozaki's the culprit?
We don't have any evidence.
Is the professor white or black?
I can't say he's white.
I have my doubts about Ms. Saki.
She had scars on her face. Maybe her husband was abusing her.
It's Oyama and Tanimoto, we're coming in!
Excuse us.
The victim and Tozaki are connected.
While Amagi was serving his sentence, Tozaki was in the same prison.
They once worked in the same workshop.
So Tozaki must have known about Amagi's recent situation.
Mr. Kazama, the culprit is Tozaki for sure.
I don't think we should assume anything.
What?
Ah, it's so noisy.
Focus.
Are you going to catch your teacher's enemy?
Yeah... I want to catch him.
My teacher is kind of a weirdo.
He doesn't want to go after the culprits who hurt him or his friends.
Huh?
Why?
I wonder why...
- Oh, sorry. Focus. - Okay.
It's hard.
Which one? Let me see, Yukarin.
I'm fine.
What I can do, I do alone.
That's right.
What I can't do, we do together.
What about other problems?
Everyone.
- Focus. - Yes!
Let, let, let... let me explain.
The condition of the eye shortly after chemical burns is here.
It is characterized by acute symptoms such as corneal opacity and conjunctival hyperemia.
The killer must have been holding it with an ice pick grip.
To stab the heart from behind,
you have to grip it like this and swing down with force to reach it.
But in this case...
It's being stabbed from the bottom up.
That's right. If you hold it like this with a knife grip...
It doesn't have enough force to reach the heart.
So the victim was stabbed when he was in a strange posture?
- Strange posture. - For example...
No. This is also a stab from the top down.
- Well, there's no way his posture was like this. - What if they were facing each other?
Facing each other...
- No, expose your back. - Oh, my back.
Maybe a little lower.
It might work.
- I'll give it a try. - Okay.
- Here I go. - Okay.
Hah! A little to the right...
Right, right... and a little higher?
- Which way is up... - This way.
Here, here... ouch, ouch.
No matter how you look at it, aiming at the heart and hitting it after all, is...
That's right~.
Hmm... The angle is good, but...
Take off the blindfold.
That's right, you can stab him too.
After thinking about it calmly,
Professor Seike may be the one who killed him.
What kind of person is he?
He must have known about Ms. Saki's abuse.
- That's why he was trying to protect her. - What else?
He doesn't want Ms. Saki to become the daughter of a murderer.
He has no intention of turning himself in for murder.
That's not enough.
As long as he committed murder, he would want to be punished.
A fair and honest person who would not let anyone take the blame for his crime.
- Instructor. - Did you see it?
- Mizoguchi... - What?
Over there.
Kanagawa Headquarters to all stations.
The day before yesterday, a murder took place in which a key witness is believed to be a suspect.
Tozaki Haru was arrested at Minami Tomifuku Shopping Arcade.
According to his driver's license, there's no doubt it's him.
- We're nearby. - We have our own work to do first.
- But we're just... - What is it?
This is going to prove that Tozaki
is not the culprit in this case, right?
Thank you.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.
This way please.
Excuse me.
- How many people are here? - Four.
Professor Seike.
We are requesting
that you willingly turn yourself in.
- Mr. Kazama is it? - Yes.
Aren't you all after a man who used an eyeleteer?
We believe you are Mr. Amagi's murderer.
But we do have some sympathy for your motive.
Ohh?
If you're going to go that far, let's hear it?
Ms. Saki.
Me?
It seems you have an injury on your face.
Yes, as you can see.
Your husband struck you with his ring, didn't he?
- Is domestic violence a regular occurrence? - Yes, but...
When I told him to get a job and work, he immediately got angry.
You can’t see patients when you have a noticeable injury.
That's why you avoided the hospital.
You think I'm a suspect?
You have an alibi.
At the estimated time of your husband's death,
a psychiatrist testified that he was counseling you.
The women who were swindled by his scams also had an alibi.
All of them.
The only one who can't prove his alibi
is you, Professor Seike.
That's the only reason you think I killed her?
What is he doing?
Mr. Kazama?
Professor.
You are like Buddha and want to bring peace to people's suffering.
I heard others mention that.
- All this is conjecture from this point. - Let's hear it.
I'm sure you warned him repeatedly.
Mr. Amagi's violence against Ms. Saki did not stop.
Judging from when she stopped working at the hospital, it started 3 years ago.
You decided to eliminate Mr. Amagi before Ms. Saki was killed.
In order to do that, you had to clear two conditions.
Ms. Saki cannot be the daughter of a criminal.
Another...
As long as you committed a crime, you had to receive punishment as well.
And then, I found it. A way to kill him that satisfies both conditions.
I will now recreate how you stabbed Mr. Amagi in the heart.
Please.
I can't see.
Ms. Saki, please describe it.
One person is in front of you diagonally to the right.
I am Seike.
The other one is sitting opposite from you.
I am Amagi.
Dad took something out.
He dropped it on the floor and
He stabs Amagi's back as he tried to pick it up.
What is that something?
Something that the victim is so attached to that he wants to pick it up.
For example... Some of the 500,000 yen that is missing.
- You're 10,000 short. - That's funny...
Oh, here it is.
What are you doing?
If you do it this way, the angle of the wound will match up.
The footprints on the floor leading to the back door do not match those from Tozaki.
Using the eyeleteer was a way to distract the investigation.
I do not accept everyone's conjecture as the truth.
How could I stab him in the heart?
My eyes look like this.
Yes. You are blind.
Now.
2 years ago you were exposed to a toxic chemical in an accident during an experiment.
Who treated you?
Ms. Saki. It was you, wasn't it?
You were injured, but you didn't go blind.
Professor, you asked Ms. Saki to write a false medical report.
And then, you waited for the right moment to carry out the murder.
That's why you were able to kill him in a way that only a sighted person could have.
You lost your sight right after you murdered Mr. Amagi.
That time, you really....
When I was checking the professor's eyes
I should have noticed that the sores on your eyeballs were brand new.
At that time, when Ms. Saki gasped,
I thought it was because she heard about her husband's death. But it wasn't.
It was because she saw your eyes.
She saw your blind eyes for the first time.
Can you open your eyes?
The autopsy results are in.
The victim is confirmed dead.
You seem to have gotten used to dealing with sunglasses.
When we spoke to you the day after the incident,
you weren't used to it yet,
so you took your hands off your sunglasses.
Mr. Kazama.
You're the one giving instruction?
Could it be that your eye...?
Yes.
I lost one eye.
I knew it.
A long time ago,
During World War II,
Fighting against the Nazis,
within the French Resistance
there was a blind member.
The job he was assigned was to train recruits.
The loss of sight had left him with other senses that were extraordinarily developed.
He was amazingly accurate.
He found those who were not suited for the organization and sifted them out.
You
may be his reincarnation.
I'm sorry.
I made you a daughter of a criminal.
Saki, bring me my jacket.

Dad...
I'll ask you one more time.
You know a police officer named Kazama, don't you?
He's the detective who arrested you 15 years ago.
Is that why you hate him?
Why did you continue to stay in this town after you got even with him?
Why did you go after Mr. Kazama's eyes?
May I ask you about your family?
- Something's not right. - What's that?
When we secured him.
Normally we'd ask him to accompany us to the police box voluntarily
and wait for a backup vehicle to arrive.
Why the immediate arrest?
Excuse me!
These are the police officers who arrested Tozaki.
- I'm Fukutome, with Tomifuku Region Police Department. - I'm Mizoguchi, from the same department.
- Tell me what happened when you arrested him. - Yes!
I was on patrol around town.
That guy came walking in front of us.
I recognized him right away from the photo.
I chased after him from behind...
I'm with the police. May I talk to you?
I'm sorry. Excuse me. We're on security patrol.
Do you have any identification?
- Do you have something to prove your status? - Hey.
Excuse me... Ah!
Ah... Ouch!
Interference with a public servant!
Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel!
- Cuff him! Cuff him! - Got it!
Let me see your hands!
It was a piece of cake. Right?
Yeah.
Did Tozaki attack you?
We didn't give him the chance.
Did he threaten you or verbally abuse you?
No. - What about it?
Didn't they teach you how to do interviews at the police academy?
Excuse me.
It's all over the Internet.
We had a hard time finding you.
A month ago,
You went to deliver flowers to a building in Sakura district.
It was a rainy day.
That's when you bumped into a man running down the stairs.
Right?
Yes. Uhm...
I didn't think it was worth calling the police.
A police officer was injured on the rooftop at the same time.
I wondered what I should do when I found out later.
Eh? Uhm...
Eh? Am I under arrest?
Is this the man you saw?
What do you think?
- It looks like him... - Look closely.
If we have your testimony, we can get a warrant for his arrest.
Yes. Instructor's office.
Yes.
I released Tozaki.
His lawyer protested to the Public Safety Commission.
He said he was physically assaulted during his arrest.
The prosecutor's office concurred.
As for the murder weapon,
they can't be certain, only that it is similar to the case from 15 years ago.
The other victim and witness who saw him on the stairs,
didn't get a clear view of the killer's face.
Did Tozaki have an eyeleteer?
He had it.
In his jacket pocket.
If Tozaki had wanted to,
those two would have been killed.
As of today I'm parting ways with all of you.
I give you these final words.
Be one with the way of the sword.
In order to win, you must have the right mind.
- Yes! - What is right,
what is not right?
From now on.
I hope that you will find your own sense of justice through kendo.
Yes!
Kazama Sensei. Thank you very much!
Are you planning to step down from the frontline?
The full-time investigation will continue.
I'll be pursuing Tozaki as one of the investigators.
I intend to devote all my remaining time.
Oh, Kazama.
I have one last thing to tell you.
Don't resent
the police.
I'm going after Tozaki.
Excuse me! Mr. Kazama, are you serious?
Are you really leaving the Investigation Department?
I know you guys have been helping out our rookie detectives.
You encouraged them and gave advice.
You did get in the way at times.
From now on, you will take over.
- We will? - Understood.
We'll carry on your will. We'll teach them how to conduct investigations...
All you have to do is encourage.
Yes, sir.
- Hmm? - Yes.
Excuse me.
May I have one?
No problem.
That day...
That rainy morning.
Tono told me.
He was overwhelmed with the case he was facing.
He wanted to cry more than once.
But with the instructor...
he saw hope.
Where did you get transferred to?
I'm going to retake the exam
and become a police officer.
Are you ready for that?
I'll definitely
bring down the killer.
Excuse me.
- Good morning! - Good morning.
When I heard you had left the site, I thought maybe you came here.
You have good instincts.
So what happened this time, is a problem before coming to the field.
That's why you're trying to fundamentally reshape the police officer.
I'll continue the investigation on Tozaki.
Leave the full-time investigation team.
Go back to the juvenile section and work on child abuse prevention.
It's your mission.
You sympathize with those who are in the same situation.
Is that your kindness?
If you're an instructor, instruct me!
Close your eyes.
Think of all the possible ways for the victim.
Your weaknesses are also your strengths.
Your instruction ends here.
You've been investing every single minute of your time?
Your weakness... is not admitting your weakness.
I... pretended not to notice.
You have a lot of work to do when you get back to juvenile division.
There are children suffering from abuse, parents in distress,
and all of them are in need of you.
He turned his back on the criminal.
You don't seem to be aware of it,
but you're paying attention to people's feelings.
So I thought... I have to become a detective.
Women like that don't show their true feelings easily.
Having a technique you're good at, can also...
be a fatal weakness.
Do you want to start over at the police box?
Please fire me.
You have an antenna that gives you a unique sensitivity of the emotions of men and women.
Somehow.
Can you or can you not?
You still hate the kidnapper, don't you?
You don't know where to channel that anger!
I was able to put my feelings into words.
From now on I can control my emotions.
On behalf of the detectives who received your guidance, I would like to thank you.
Thank you very much.
The flowers have arrived.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
- Then let's go. - Yes, sir.
Uematsu's class students, please assemble at Classroom 3 immediately.
Attention!
Good afternoon!
Bow!
- Good afternoon! - Good afternoon!
- At ease. - At ease!
Everyone gathered here,
your instructor-in-charge, Uematsu,
got sick and was hospitalized last night.
Until he returns to work,
the assigned substitute instructor will introduce himself.
Excuse me.
I'm Kazama Kimichika.
What would make a person tremble?
You learned this at the police academy.
If you can't give an answer, you'll go back to the police box.
What is a detective's job?
It's to suspect people.
...to learn how to conduct investigations from the instructor.
This is not a classroom.
I'm not going to hold your hand like an instructor would.
Is this a class?
If you don't like it, go back to the police station.
It's a race against Forensics.
If you lose, give up on becoming a detective.
Why did you come back?
...you're going to need proof, right?
You knew that would be the key piece of evidence.
Do you have any evidence?
Can you say that in front of your son?!
Show me the proof!
That's a ridiculous accusation.
I don't have to prove your alibi.
Am I not able to be a detective?
Where is my sister?
