We received a tip that there was a detective who was trafficking drugs.
That was Kumokawa Kohei.
Follow Kumokawa. I'm positive you'll find Onodera too.
What are you doing here?
Where is Onodera Daigo?
What will you do when you meet?
We'll just talk about old times.
We're former partners after all.
And, you're carrying that with you?
My bad. My bad. Didn't think it was you.
It was Onodera, right?
About the drug diversion case fifteen years ago.
Is that why you are meeting up with him?
Kumokawa!
Fifteen years ago, at the time of Shinno's parents incident,
I was also in charge of investigating the scene.
I got hooked into the case.
And then now, a year ago, Shinno became a detective,
and was assigned to our station.
That time, that guy...
I heard Deputy Director was looking after Shinno.
It was surprising.
I get that Shinno is the bereaved family of his comrade,
still, I can't believe he would care about her to that extent.
What do you mean?
There, I remembered.
Onodera often met with Deputy Director Hirayasu.
At that time, I thought they were only talking about the investigation.
But, it seemed they were closer than that.
The one involved in the drug trafficking case was
Onodera.
And, there was one more person.
It wasn't me.
It was Deputy Director Hirayasu.
That was probably why Onodera suddenly quit.
Before Deputy Director Hirayasu became a higher up,
he voluntarily resigned.
I see, Deputy Director Hirayasu also noticed my movements.
I guess I should be careful now.
He already assigned a watcher for me.
You, his son.
Were you investigating me?
We did it on each other.
If it's you, his son...
He must have thought you would do a good job.
That person must have accused me.
You suspected me and came here.
Your father has been covering up the case for fifteen years, and now,
he is second in position in the National Police Agency.
Kazehaya!
The one you should be confronting now is
your father, don't you think?
This is all for the sake of revealing the truth, Ryo.

Why? Am I not guilty?
I hit so hard. That's why that senior got seriously injured.
What do you mean I could go home now?
Earlier, we were informed that a settlement had been reached
between the victim and Ms. Toda's lawyer —
It was my aunt who settled with him. Not me.
Why did you hit the victim, Yamato?
What is your motive?
Drink before it cools down.
I dislike it. The smell.
The smell?
Until now, whenever I smell coffee,
I get to think about that person.
That person?
My father. Head of Toshinori household.
If you look it up, you'll know right away.
Fifteen years ago, he was wanted on suspicion of murder.
He is still on the run and his whereabouts are unknown.
I received a letter from my father.
A letter?
Is it okay if we take a look at it?
Here it is.
I'm taking a look now.
"How are you, Yamato? I'll be seeing you soon. Father."
And this?
My father ran a coffee shop,
and he often made paper folds for his customers.
Oh, Yamato? Are you folding?
Yes! Leave it to me!
Then, I'll leave these to your care today!
All right!
The mailing address is unclear.
We'll have to look into this more. Is that okay?
Please, you can throw it away after.
What?
I don't care about where he is or what he's doing.
He's a stranger now.
My mother died shortly after giving birth to me.
And so, I was taken into my relative's house after.
I got my last name change as well.
But...
Wherever I go, I encounter things about that person.
So, I guess it's only natural.
What do you mean?
I thought that after I hit that senior.
Hey, Takumi! Are you okay? Hey!
Stay strong, Takumi! Call ambulance! Ambulance!
Ah, as expected,
I'm the son of a murderer.
Is that why you think you should be guilty?
Isn't it the worst? To have such a father
who committed crime and ran away for fifteen years.
Your father has been covering up the case for fifteen years, and now,
he is second in position in the National Police Agency.
Find that person from that letter, if you please.
And, let him know that the son he abandoned
has become a person who hurts people too.
Kamoi Kei, president of a real estate company, and his wife Miho,
were murdered in their office and home,
and the fingerprints of the murder weapon matched those of Toshinori.
However, when investigators headed to perform the arrest,
Toshinori was nowhere to be seen, and since then, his whereabouts are unknown.
What a coincidence.
It was on the same day.
We're home!
Don't come here!
Sister! Sister!
The day my parents were murdered.
Two murders on the same day.
Must be only a coincidence.
We're back.
Any progress?
During the interrogation, I saw the emotion "anger" from Yamato.
The son he abandoned
has become a person who hurts people too.
Anger?
Yes.
Must be his feelings towards his father.
Anger at his father for betraying him and becoming a murderer.
Right.
The letter has been handed to the forencics. We're waiting for the results now.
Thank you.
Reporting. I graduated from the police academy.
I see. You are now officially in the police.
Yes. I would like to follow your footsteps, dad.
Wait.
Don't call me that.
What "dad"?
Don't call me that again.
Are we clear?
Yes, sir.
You found him? Toshinori?
Yes. But, it's quite a mess.
He couldn't be reached, that's why we're here.
But, I wonder if we'll see him here.
He's the type who doesn't want to stand out.
Right after the incident,
I think he got a lot of attention.
Wait. Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
I already said that I don't care about that person anymore.
So, leave me out of it now.
Whether he's dead or alive, I don't care.
Please leave!
We found your dad.
What?
But, he's already dead.
The body has been dead for about fifteen years now.
It is most likely that your dad died
right after the Kamoi couple's incident.
So what?
What?
For the past fifteen years, I've been passed around relatives.
Some even cut their ties with me because of the incident.
Good to hear that he died.
It only means I'm done with this.
Two days ago, in a forest within our jurisdiction,
a skeletal remains of a male was found.
The tooth profile matches that of Toshinori.
There's a high possibility that it was murder.
A shovel, concluded as the murder weapon, was found together with the remains.
However, no fingerprints have been detected.
Never thought the suspect in the murder case fifteen years ago would have been murdered.
Now, I am curious about that letter.
Given that Toshinori had passed away fifteen years ago,
the letter must have been sent by another person.
Who would do that and why?
I borrowed files about the Kamoi couple's case from Ueshima Central Police Station.
Let's look into this case again.
Good to hear that he died.
It only means I'm done with this.
Niwaki Yukako.
Your husband, Motoharu,
passed away three years ago, is that right?
Yes. It was stomach cancer.
According to the files, at that time, there'd been a dispute between
your husband and Toshinori.
Can you tell us what exactly happened?
I'm sorry. I have no idea.
I see.
Yukako, were you close to Toshinori?
We friendly greeted each other, that's all.
Your children were in the same class, right?
Toshinori was a single father
and often participated in PTA and school events.
I was able to talk to him a few times, but...
What was your impression of him?
I think he was a very kind and gentle parent.
That's why I was surprised when I heard an incident like that happened,
and that Toshinori also passed away.
What about the son, Yamato?
He used to be cheerful and got along well with my daughter, but...
What happened after the incident?
Their coffee shop had been plastered with horrible posters and even the interiors had been vandalized.
He was standing alone in front of it, and it was a very pitiful sight. It was hard to look at him.
I'm sorry. I can't be much of a help.
No, it's alright.
It was the feeling of regret.
What I saw from Yukako.
We friendly greeted each other, that's all.
It was the feeling of regret.
Regret?
Yukako has some guilt
about the incident fifteen years ago.
Well, it's been fifteen years.
But, it seems like going here won't be in vain.
So what's with that man?
Shouji Ryuzo runs a tool shop nearby.
He must know something about Toshinori and Niwaki.
Want me to talk to him?
Yes, please.
Yes, I was surprised.
I heard from the news that a body was found, and so,
I came to see how things are.
How things are?
What's that?
Oh, candies.
Ah, it looks delicious.
Want some?
Can I?
I thought the stupid media
would start making a fuss again.
You guys are detectives, right?
Yes.
These are good!
Do you remember Niwaki and his wife?
It seemed like the husband had a dispute with Toshinori.
Ah, sure, sure.
I often saw him arguing with Toshinori.
I don't know why though.
What about the wife? Yukako.
She, too, visited the coffee shop with her daughter.
Ah! I remember there was one time her daughter was outside the shop alone
while the two, the wife and Toshinori, talked inside.
There's nothing more I can say aside from that.
- The two of them? - Yeah — Oh!
You stepped in after all.
I mean, Toshinori...
Well, he lost his wife early, right?
I'll say this once.
I think those two were together.
What?
What about the police at that time?
What about them?
Ah, they did quite good.
Yes. Yes.
I only know her as my classmate's mother.
I don't know her relationship with that person.
- But — - Are we done now?
Nothing is done yet!
Especially the things about Niwaki and your dad.
Yes, you told us before.
Your dad is dead, so now, it's all over.
But, tell me honestly,
where should you throw your anger towards your dad now?
Have you thought about that?
Dad here. Dad that.
What "dad"?
You're not even listening to what I am saying!
What father are you talking about?!
Yeah, it suits you.
I wonder what happened to Kazehaya.
Something feels different than usual.
Let's take a picture of you, sister.
Oh, look! It looks good on you.
Soon, you'll get to wear this and we'll go out together.
What "dad"?
You're not even listening to what I am saying!
The one you should be confronting now is your father, don't you think?
Follow Kumokawa.
Are you complaining?
Be very careful with your undercover.
You and I are good, right?
This is all for the sake of revealing the truth.
Understand, Ryo.
What "dad"?
Don't call me that again. Are we clear?
Dad!
Yamato.
I'll ask one more time. Is there anything you can remember?
Please leave me alone.
You're different from me!
They say children can't choose their parents,
but that's not true.
Children can choose their parents.
That is what you are trying to do now.
That's very strong of you.
But,
is it really okay to let things stay this way?
Is it really okay with you not knowing anything about your dad?
Let us solve this case and then you can go on.
Same goes for me.
I really have nothing more to say.
Sir!
Please leave Toda alone!
Ah.
Is it okay to do that just because you're a police officer?
No, I —
Kazehaya.
Shinno.
Why are you here?
You weren't at the station, so I asked Kitamura. She said you are here.
Good thing you're here for the same reason.
Same?
Kazehaya, you came to talk to her too, right?
What?
You're Niwaki Sara, am I right?
Yes.
I would like to ask you about your story at that time.
Huh? What is this about?
About your dad, Niwaki Motoharu.
Look into my eyes, please.
Isn't it the worst?
To have such a father who committed crime and ran away for fifteen years.
Good to hear that he died.
It only means I'm done with this.
You're not even listening to what I am saying!
There'd been a dispute occurred between your husband and Toshinori.
About Niwaki Motoharu.
I think those two were together.
We friendly greeted each other, that's all.
That's why I was surprised when I heard an incident like that happened,
and that Toshinori also passed away.
I saw it.
I see it now. The color of Yukako.
The day Kamoi and his wife were murdered fifteen years ago.
Were you really with Toshinori that day?
Some of the people involved have suspicions about the relationship between you two.
It was past six in the afternoon when you talked.
Right after the estimated time of death of Kamoi and his wife.
If you have told the police about it,
it would have been Toshinori's alibi.
But, you didn't speak.
You were afraid your husband
would find out you ran to Toshinori, weren't you?
You asked Toshinori for help, didn't you?
To escape from your husband's abuse.
We're already close for today.
I'm sorry.
I don't know anymore what that person will do soon!
Calm down. Calm down, Niwaki.
We'll do something about it today.
It happened at the time when the two of you talked.
Your testimony
would have been able to clear all suspicions.
I don't remember well.
I couldn't say a thing.
If I told them I talked to Toshinori for help,
my husband would do something unimaginable to me and my daughter!
The dispute between your husband and Toshinori
was because he found out you were talking about your situation, right?
How did you know?
Niwaki Sara.
Your daughter told us.
When I showed her this picture, I saw
the emotion "fear".
Sara was the only one who
I haven't yet heard the story out of all the people involved.
Toda and I happened to enter the same university.
But because he doesn't want to remember the past,
I don't talk to him anymore.
That's why when Kazehaya...
I'll ask one more time. Is there anything you can remember?
Sara seems to remember that time until now.
However, Sara is also silent about it.
She might have thought, if she said something, what would his dad do?
She was trying to protect her mom.
Let's go do the next bangs!
It's tickling!
Dear customer, please stay still.
I was relived when my husband died.
My daughter and I have just started our family without him.
That's why I couldn't talk about Toshinori.
I know I am to be blamed for being silent about it until now.
Mom!
Sorry for making you wait.
I'm sorry.
Because of that, Toshinori...
And, Yamato is still...
Mom.
Dad.
To protect her daughter. To protect her mother.
The two of them decided to hide what happened at the night of the incident.
But, that continues to be a regret for Yukako.
However, there seems to be another reason
why Yukako didn't testify.
There was another person?
There was a cup there that wasn't yet put away.
- Bye bye! - Bye bye!
When I asked, he said he had a customer he served until a while ago.
If that person testified, it would have been Toshinori's alibi.
And so, she thought she didn't have to testify herself.
That if that person was found, he would be able to prove Toshinori's innocence.
But, it didn't end there.
The culprit who killed Toshinori remains unknown.
We need to find that customer who came before Yukako.
Maybe, he knows something.
What we want to ask this time is about the customer
who came before Yukako.
He was a staff working in a nearby factory.
If that was the person, then maybe I remember.
Really? Do you know the name?
I think it was "Ryoma".
Ryoma?
Was it Kondo? Kondo Ryoma?
Yeah, that's right!
He was proud that his name was Kondo like Kondo Isamu and Ryoma like Sakamoto Ryoma.
Hey, he said Kondo Ryoma.
It was an alias used by that person.
His real name was Watanuki Takeshi.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
That's not all.
The murder of my parents and Kamoi couple's case
happened on the same day, nineteenth of July, and both timelines were close too.
In other words, proving Toshinori's alibi...
Will also prove Watanuki's alibi in the Shinno family case.
And that, he was innocent too.
So, the real culprit was...
Onodera Daigo.
Shinno.
There's something I have to tell you.
So, you are working undercover.
Yes.
I reported everything about you, Shinno, and Kumokawa.
Under Hirayasu's orders?
I was assigned to the East Kanagawa Precinct by the order of Deputy Director himself.
But, why did he choose you, Kazehaya?
Deputy Director Hirayasu is my father.
What?
It's strange, yes.
I should have hated him for a long time, but now,
I am a police officer like him.
But, I think it really has to be this way.
I want to solve this case so that I can face that person.
I feel like I have to.
All this time,
I was betraying everyone.
That was awful of me.
You don't have to feel sorry about it.
I understand that you had your reasons, Kazehaya.
No, that's not enough!
I have...
I have always wanted to feel guilty enough,
for me to be able to tell everyone about it someday.
You're feeling it now.
Regret.
Even without looking, I can tell.
Your feelings right now, Kazehaya.
You don't need to apologize.
I know how you feel.
But, let me tell you this.
I will confront them all no matter what.
Even my family.
I will investigate it thoroughly.
Everything from fifteen years ago.
Okay.
