I heard one girl was kicked out because Arimoto saw hers. 441 00:28:37,910 --> 00:28:40,060 That's scary! 442 00:28:40,060 --> 00:28:43,570 I'll be careful. - That's not what she meant. 443 00:28:43,570 --> 00:28:47,240 Is it, Moriwaka? It will get in the way at work, 444 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,710 and it could be lost or stolen.

She was caught cheating! 467 00:30:41,290 --> 00:30:43,220 When I went to her office earlier... 468 00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:47,460 So you're suspecting me of fraud, Mr Niijima? 469 00:30:47,460 --> 00:30:52,760 We sent those products to Mikado Inn six months ago. 470 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,970 But the order slip you gave to Accounts for them 471 00:30:55,970 --> 00:31:03,480 was dated 4 days ago, and the cash payment was dated yesterday. 472 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,670 Please explain. Why did you change the order date from six months ago to four days ago? 473 00:31:08,670 --> 00:31:12,080 And why was the payment six months late? 474 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,950 Was it Moriwaka? - What? 475 00:31:15,950 --> 00:31:20,430 Moriwaka told you about that email, didn't she? 476 00:31:20,430 --> 00:31:24,510 What email? - Arimoto left a note on my computer yesterday, 477 00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:27,480 asking me to delete an email she'd sent by accident, without reading it. 478 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,940 Never mind that. She altered an order form? 479 00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:35,280 The order form Arimoto gave us yesterday was probably a fake. 480 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,340 What? - On what basis? 481 00:31:37,340 --> 00:31:40,750 She said it came by post, but it didn't have any creases. 482 00:31:40,750 --> 00:31:43,610 But if it came in a big envelope, there wouldn't be any, right? 483 00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,950 Exactly. That in itself isn't the problem, 484 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:50,880 it's how Arimoto reacted when I pointed that out to her. 485 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,630 I read information from her face that wasn't shown in the figures. 486 00:31:55,630 --> 00:31:59,560 I understood what you meant. 487 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,720 Also, the handwriting was different, 488 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,240 but the order form was written with the same kind of fountain pen as Arimoto uses. 489 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,110 You can only buy those ink cartridges in specialist shops in the city or by mail order. 490 00:32:12,110 --> 00:32:15,430 I think it's unlikely that the owner of a country inn would use one. 491 00:32:15,430 --> 00:32:17,450 You could tell that just from the writing? 492 00:32:17,450 --> 00:32:19,580 I used to work at a stationery import company. 493 00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:22,380 I was in charge of fountain pens. That's when I started calligraphy. 494 00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:27,260 Huh... - But why did she do that? 495 00:32:27,260 --> 00:32:35,100 Maybe she threw away the real order form she got from Mikado Inn six months ago. - But why? 496 00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:37,030 To pretend there was no transaction 497 00:32:37,030 --> 00:32:39,760 and keep the cash payment for herself. 498 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,940 Exactly. 499 00:32:41,740 --> 00:32:43,650 So then why did she pay it in now? 500 00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:46,940 Oh! Aren't they going to take inventory next month? 501 00:32:46,940 --> 00:32:50,750 She must have thought her embezzling would be found out and paid it in a panic. 502 00:32:50,750 --> 00:32:54,620 But even then, there would be no need to fake the date. 503 00:32:54,620 --> 00:32:57,120 No, for cash payments, 504 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,890 the rules say you have to pay it in within 2 weeks. 505 00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:02,390 Mr Niijima did well to notice it. 506 00:33:02,390 --> 00:33:06,060 I told him. There were issues with the order form, 507 00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:08,350 so I asked him to check it. 508 00:33:08,350 --> 00:33:11,700 As expected of the tiger! - Tiger? 509 00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:14,240 Ah... - Anyway, I wonder what was in it? 510 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,910 I mean, that email. - I suppose we can't restore it now. 511 00:33:18,910 --> 00:33:22,150 Oh!
