I've seen those eyes before!
He's the one who killed my parents 15 years ago!
Akari-chan?
Are you okay?
Does Kumokawa know about this?
I don't think Shinno has told him.
But...
I was looking for you, Onodera.
Kumokawa!
They seem to know each other.
I see.
Let me take care of Onodera.
Any complaints?
No.
But--
how much do you know about
that case from 15 years ago?
What am I exactly doing--
All of this is
to find out the truth.
Ryo.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Black?
It's the first time in these 15 years.
The culprit was supposed to have died.
So, why?
Human emotions are very complex and versatile.
There could be many people with emotions so strong
and complex that they appear black to you.
Strong and complex?
For example,
a murderous impulse.
Let's start with your name and age.
Maruyama-san?
Me?
Yes, please tell us your name and age.
Maruyama Sougo, 42 years.
What's your profession?
Flower arrangement.
Three days ago, at night,
you were driving on the national highway in Ominae City.
Trying to avoid a bicycle that suddenly came in your way,
you crashed into the guard rails.
The policeman who rushed over for help,
found a lot of bloodstains,
a flower arrangement blade with blood on it,
and a soiled shovel in the trunk of your car.
Is this all correct?
Seems like it.
So let me ask you,
what exactly did you use them for?
I don't know.
Your fingerprints were found on the blade.
This situation tells us that
you possibly killed someone.
And buried their body.
That can't be true!
Maruyama-san,
you really don't remember anything?
Yes.
I'd rather want you to tell me.
Whom have I killed?

Amnesia?
When you partially lose your memory due to trauma.
It falls under dissociative amnesia.
I feel like he's lying.
It's too fishy that he forgot only
about that certain period.
But the doctor has diagnosed him.
I don't think he's faking it either.
During the interrogation,
he showed the emotion of 'anxiety'.
Whom have l killed?
He's probably confused and anxious
ANXIETY
because he doesn't remember anything.
But if he doesn't remember anything,
how are we even supposed to interrogate him?
The doctor said that his memories
might return due to some trigger.
So, we need to shake his memories by interrogation.
But what else do we know about the victim
other than the bloodstains?
We know the last person
Maruyama called before the accident.
Hishida Yoshiro?
This is that Gossip ViewTuber Hishi-chan!
Hishi-chan?
Hello, I am Hishi-chan!
Let me tell you about when the
agency of idol Rindo Mako
crushed my story about her
passionate love and sleep-over.
He's a former magazine journalist.
He reveals all the scandals he found out about.
Have you talked to him?
We can't get in touch with him.
Do you know this person?
Yes.
I think he's named Hishida?
What about him?
We think he might be the victim.
You have a reason to a resent him.
And you remember that, right?
Three years ago, when he was a journalist,
Hishida revealed your affair with a number of women.
That thing.
Due to this, your wife divorced you.
And since you dishonored the family name,
your sister was made the head of the family school instead.
Indeed.
Also, due to excessive stress, you suffered from ischemic stroke.
At one point,
you couldn't arrange flowers at all.
That's a nasty article.
I hate this photograph.
You reap what you sow,
but due to Hishida,
you went through a hard time.
That's right.
But why would I kill him after all this while?
Because he found out something else about you.
Don't you have any idea?
I don't.
This is the emotion of 'fear'.
He probably doesn't remember that Hishida-san
found something, but remembers something
that could cause him trouble.
And he's scared of that being found?
Yes.
And we will find what that was?
To bring back his memories?
Yes.
But a detective playing a gossip journalist is--
I want to know what emotions forced Maruyama-san to do this.
To find that, I'll do anything.
When your brother, Maruyama Sougo-san,
was caught having an affair, he was forced to step down.
And then you took over.
Yes.
It's not like I really wanted to.
It's really a nuisance.
On the day of the accident,
Maruyama-san was in contact
with ViewTuber Hishida-san.
Do you know anything about that?
No.
But I don't think there could be any more scandal.
Why is that?
Ever since he returned from the hospital,
it's like he's a different person.
Forget women,
he became quite a misanthropist.
Misanthropist?
Yes.
He wouldn't arrange flowers in front of anyone.
I see.
The only one who could enter his room
while he was working was his apprentice, Misumi.
I think it's normal to not like people.
He stopped arranging in front of anyone because
he said that the curious gazes of the
people around him were disturbing him.
I see.
But thanks to that,
he attained more freedom in his work.
Did Maruyama-san arrange that?
Yes.
Kazehaya-san.
I am thinking of arranging flowers.
Will you do it too?
No, I'm good.
I was looking at Maruyama Sougo's account.
Doesn't this look cute?
That's cute.
Right?
Please show it to me.
I think I got it.
Your works for the last few years,
was it really you who arranged them?
What are you trying to say?
That someone else was doing it for you.
After the scandal,
you stopped arranging in front of people.
Yes.
But that's--
To focus on the flowers?
But would that change your style so much?
You never used Red Chinese Lanterns before.
A fan of yours commented so.
Tastes often change.
And if not me, who--
Misumi-san.
You might not believe this
but I can see people's emotions as colors.
When we met Misumi-san,
I could see--
the color of 'regret' coming from him.
He said the curious gazes of people disturb him.
When I asked him if the flowers kept there were arranged by you--
Were these arranged by him?
Yes.
I saw the color of 'fear'.
Misumi-san regretted arranging for you,
and was scared of it leaking out.
Colors of emotions?
So, you base your investigation on that?
What exactly is this investigation--
It is to help bring your memories back.
Hishida-san found this secret of yours.
Is that why you killed him?
I really can't recall.
Please stop now.
Are you okay?
The red Chinese Lanterns
were Misumi-san's choice.
In the language of flowers,
it means 'false'.
He was trying to tell everyone about your lies
in his own way.
How could that--
Maruyama-san, please tell me!
Maruyama-san, what's wrong?
Maruyama-san?
I recalled it.
I killed Hishida.
So you got your memories back?
Just like you said,
he found out this secret.
And so I killed him.
I killed him just for this?!
Are you okay?
I killed him!
Are you okay?
Shinno?
It's nothing.
Maruyama-san!
Maruyama-san, where's the body?
You haven't found it yet?
Do you remember where you buried it?
Sorry.
I am sorry.
The doctor examined him.
Some part of his memory really came back.
Then it's great that you got him to confess.
The victim did turn out to be Hishida Yoshiro.
Hishida went for a blood test.
That sample and the one on the weapon are a match.
The case will be changed to a murder.
What about the body?
We know where he stopped his car
thanks to the GPS navigation system.
But he could have buried it anywhere on the mountains.
It won't be so easy to find it.
And,
when he confessed to the murder,
I feel like I saw the color of 'admiration'.
Admiration?
He respected someone?
Yes.
But it could
have been my mistake, since it was just for a second.
I see.
But it's rare for you to make a mistake.
But Maruyama-san is still hiding something.
I'll go talk again.
Are you okay?
Sorry.
Go home for today.
But--
How can you even investigate like this?
I think you should focus on the cases you have right now.
For Shiori-san's sake as well.
Maruyama-san,
did you bury the body here?
I told you I don't remember.
Then here?
What is wrong with--
Here?
I said--
How about here?
I said I don't know!
Are you that scared of
the entire world finding your secret?
No, I just can't remember.
But your emotion of fear is getting stronger.
The green color is getting darker.
Colors of emotions again?
See?
The fear and color keep getting stronger.
Stop joking!
Give this to me!
Calm down!
Such a thing!
What are you doing?
Stop!
The hell is color?
The hell is green?
Today's investigation got canceled.
Is that so?
Hey, Shinno.
What are you getting so impatient about?
I am not.
I just want to know Maruyama-san's emotions.
Is it really that?
You really think Onodera killed your parents?
Wasn't that culprit already dead?
The files--
We don't know it yet!
There was never any conclusive evidence.
I still have a lot of things I need to know.
Strong emotions that make you kill someone!
Their meaning!
I know I'll learn everything this way.
The culprit who killed my parents
and a way to bring back my sister's emotions.
What's the use of it if you wear yourself out?!
Stop being so fixated on emotions.
But I don't have anything else.
Thank you for your hard work today.
She seems pretty eager recently.
You act like it doesn't concern you.
Kumokawa-san,
how do you know Onodera-san?
Why were you looking for him?
He was my partner.
But he quit after the Shinno Family Case.
His name should be in the files though.
Could you please answer one more question?
Kazehaya.
Who do you want that answer for?
What do you mean?
If you can't answer that,
I can't tell you anything either.
Judicial Police Inspector: Onodera Daigo
I was looking for you, Onodera.
I'll take care of Onodera.
Any complaints?
Who do you want that answer for?
I still have things I need to know.
The strong emotions that make people kill others!
And their meanings!
I'm sure I'll learn everything this way.
The culprit who killed my parents
and the way to bring back my sister's emotions.
This is to find the truth, Ryo.
Excuse me!
You scared me.
Sorry.
I am Shinno from East Kanagawa Station.
Excuse me!
Did you see this person five days ago at dawn?
I distribute these everyday but
sorry, I haven't seen him.
I see, thank you.
I come here often, but I've never seen him.
Thank you.
Not at all.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I am okay, thank you!
Don't go breaking out of your character.
You were the one who asked me not to fixate on my emotions.
During the last interrogation,
when I pointed at this area,
I saw 'caution' in his eyes.
What about here?
I said I don't know!
Then tell this to the other investigators.
If you think they won't believe you,
just use me.
This is what partners are for.
It is because you helped me tell them.
Thank you.
Looks like so.
Thank you.
Shinno-san! Kazehaya-san!
According to the forensics,
other than the stab wounds,
there are marks of a rope around the neck.
What does this mean?
Don't tell me you're doing it here!
Whom have I killed?
Did he find something else about you?
He stopped arranging in front of people because
he said curious gazes disturbed him.
Are you so scared of us finding the body
and the world knowing your secret?
The hell is color? The hell is green?
I killed him!
When Maruyama-san confessed,
I saw the color of 'admiration' for a second.
I saw the color of Maruyama-san.
Maruyama-san.
Do you know what color is this?
You want to say I'm scared again, right?
Must be green.
It's not.
It's red.
Sorry for deceiving you.
But this clears it.
The thing you were scared of.
You are color blind.
You can't differentiate between colors.
So, you can't tell red and green apart.
How do you--
Whenever I talked about colors,
you showed 'fear'.
Colors of emotions?
You base your investigations on that?
The hell is color? The hell is green?
You suffered an ischemic stroke.
The after-effects include color blindness.
It's the same time period as when you stopped
arranging flowers in front of anyone but Misumi-san.
Only you two knew about this.
And so Misumi-san also showed 'fear'.
Did Maruyama-san arrange those?
Yes.
Hishida-san found out about
this, right?
Seems like detectives can find scandals like journalists too.
That's right.
I was scared of this leaking out.
And he--
You don't know which one is red.
If this gets out,
your flower arrangement life is over.
This time for sure.
So, I killed him.
Then I buried the body in panic.
So, where's the body?
I can't recall it.
Just as I thought.
Maruyama-san, we've already found the body.
According to the autopsy,
Hishida-san's death was caused by suffocation.
This means, he was stabbed after death.
That was probably to create evidence of the weapon and bloodstains.
What you were really scared of
was the body being found and us learning that.
What you were really scared of
was the body being found and us learning that.
What is--
Maruyama-san.
You're trying to protect someone.
What are you saying? I killed him!
But you can stop now.
He has already admitted to it.
Beneath the nails of the body,
skin fragments were found.
Probably from when he was fighting with the culprit.
And they weren't yours.
It was me!
I killed him!
Sensei told him that
he didn't care.
Please do as you like.
Wait!
Damn it!
Stop! What are you--
Misumi! Misumi!
What have you--
Sorry! I couldn't forgive him.
I couldn't let this man snatch away your flowers from you!
I'll turn myself in.
No!
Don't!
I killed him.
No!
I killed him!
You didn't!
After burying the body,
you intended to give yourself up.
But unfortunately, you met with that accident.
When we met Misumi-san,
the regret I saw from him was because
he let you take the blame for his crime.
No! Misumi didn't do it!
I did everything! I killed Hishida!
So it was 'admiration' after all.
When your memories came back.
I killed him!
Among the color of fear,
I felt like I saw another emotion.
'Admiration'
for someone you respect and find important.
I can see the same now.
I should have noticed this earlier.
You were scared because you wanted to
protect someone precious to you.
Maruyama-san, please tell me.
The reason behind that emotion.
Misumi was the only one.
When my affair was reported,
and my position was taken away,
when I couldn't see colors anymore,
he never abandoned me.
'One can feel the force of flower's life'
'Bold and unrestrained'
He told me that this was the real charm of my arrangements.
'You can compensate for any color'
'You can arrange them more freely now'
'I will be your eyes.'
Did you know?
Chinese Lanterns in language of flowers is not only 'false'.
But also 'peace of mind'.
Misumi put my mind at ease.
That was enough for me.
He has a future ahead of him.
He can see the colors I can't.
He has a lot to enjoy in his life.
There's already an article about this?
Yes.
I knew this would happen one day
But not many are sympathizing with the victim Hishida.
Getting his just deserts Serves him right
Even though he had so many subscribers.
Hard times.
There's a lot of things I still need to know.
I will definitely bring your emotions back.
I chose to believe in what you saw.
Onodera was an investigator in that case 15 years ago.
I don't think that and what you saw are just a coincidence.
Let me investigate that case too.
I want to find the truth in my own way.
For you and your sister.
Thank you.
Then let me ask right away, if Onodera is the culprit,
then the police are probably involved in this case.
Do you remember anyone who was investigating it back then?
Yes, there's one person.
He has been helping me since then.
He was the chief of the station my father worked at.
His name is Hirayasu-san.
I can't see any emotions.
Emotions must be tiring.
What's most important right now are your own emotions.
Do you prefer being like this?
Don't you want to see?
I do.
The story of a family that lived a happy life 15 years ago.
And their future together, which didn't happen.
Nee-chan, please answer!
Streaming on Hulu after this.
