Wings! That's the fire of the volcano!

Ron?

Fly through the Cretaceous, Pteranodon!

What are you doing?!

I'm playing dinosaur.

When you said you'd go crazy from boredom
without a case, did you really mean it?

Help me, Dr. Mofu!

What are you talking about? I was just
recreating memories from when I was three.

From when you were three?
Of the Cretaceous?

I told you Dr. Mofu's medicine
brings up old memories, didn't I?

Some parts of those memories were unclear,
so I was sorting them out.

Then I realized my memories
before I was six were spotty.

Isn't that normal for everyone?

Actually, I remember everything.

Everything?

That's why the gaps
in my memory bother me.

For example, when I was three,
on April 11th, at 11 a.m.,

I was playing dinosaur with Max and Molly

someone else was sitting next to me,

but my memory is foggy.

So I thought recreating that time
might help jog my memory.

I guess ordinary people don't get that.

Well, I'm glad
you didn't go crazy from boredom.

But I'm still bored!
Where's the case, Toto?!

Oh no!

Come on, hurry up!
Give me a case! A new, fresh case!

That's your job, isn't it?

Hey now, a police officer's job
isn't to go out looking for cases!

We're not reporters!

That's it! Good idea, Toto!

Let's go ask Chikori!

Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

TO-KYO UNIVERSITY

Chikori is here
to do an interview with this lab.

I didn't think we'd see her
so soon after yesterday.

Isn't that a good thing? It's important
to stay in touch with crime reporters.

Detective Isshiki!

Oh, Chikori!

It's like a dream to be interviewing with
the ace detective of the Tokyo Police!

Ace, huh?

That's a lot of pressure.

But why is Mr. Kamokyuu
from the café here?

Well, you see, Chikori…

Inspired by your
esteemed Detective Isshiki,

I decided to pursue a career
as a brilliant detective too!

What?

So I came along to learn
from Detective Isshiki.

That kind of lie is…

That ambition is truly admirable!

If that's the case,
then I'll give you my full support!

Thanks. I really appreciate it!

I knew it would turn out like this!

Thank you for taking
the time to let me interview you.

Not at all. We don't have any experiments,

and it's important for researchers
to have the public interested in our work.

Thank you for letting us join
on such short notice!

I'm also very interested in your research.

That's nice to hear.

MARUYAMA LAB

This is our research lab.

Professor Maruyama
is at a conference in America,

so I'm in charge today.

Our focus is cognitive psychology.

In other words, we study
cognitive functions in human psychology.

We're here with the students to study
mechanisms like emotions and learning.

Feel free to look around
and ask any questions you may have.

In that case,
I have a gap in my childhood memories.

Do you know what the cause could be?

As it happens,
my specialty is memory research.

That's reassuring.

There are a few possible causes,
like dissociative amnesia,

where a strong shock
can erase memories from that time.

I see. I suspected as much.

Assistant Professor Aoe, it's almost time
for your meeting with the UK.

Oh, right!

I'm sorry, my schedule is packed.
Please ask Himeno if you have questions.

She's very capable.

Well, I'll be off. I'm counting on you.

Yes, Assistant Professor Aoe!

Good luck!

He seems very busy.

Yes, he's incredible!

He's published groundbreaking papers
in international academic journals,

and there's no one better
in the field of memory research.

He's our young ace.

Ace! That's a great word!

Come to think of it,
we have an ace here too.

Himeno, I understand how you feel
respecting him so much!

Huh?

For me, Detective Isshiki
is the amazing person I look up to!

Is that so?

It's inspiring to watch an ace at work,
isn't it?

I'm glad you understand!

Would you like to chat about our two aces?

I'd love to!

They're bonding over something so odd…

-The word "inspiring" fits them perfectly!
-Indeed!

-Detective Isshiki is…
-They're so loud.

IN USE

This is a shielded room, right?

-You're quite knowledgeable.
-A shielded room?

It's a lab for psychological experiments.

It's built to block out external noise,
radio waves, and magnetic interference.

-Wow, that's impressive!
-It's my first time seeing one!

They measure brainwaves
and eye movements here.

The collected data is only stored
on lab computers, for security reasons.

You certainly have the equipment!

We're also proud of managing an MRI
in collaboration with other labs.

That's what hospitals use to look
at cross-sections of the body, right?

You even have that?

It's quite costly, but Professor Aoe's
experiments are highly regarded.

He must be really amazing.

The budget was approved thanks to
the assistant professor's excellent work.

I'm truly, truly grateful!

I feel the same way Detective Isshiki,
so I can relate, Himeno!

What's with this twin vibe…?

-I didn't hear about this!
-Neither did I!

What's going on? Imai, Oigawa…

My reservation for the lab
this afternoon is clashing with his!

I reserved it first!

-That's a lie! I reserved it first!
-What did you say?

Stop fighting.

Oh, be quiet. Do something, Himeno.

Do something?

Go suck up to the assistant professor
and ask him to mediate or something.

"Assistant Professor, you're so amazing!
Please help!" Isn't that your specialty?

Niki…

I'm sorry you had to witness
such an embarrassing scene.

Oh no, don't worry about it, Himeno!

Everyone's pushing hard to achieve
good results, so things can get tense.

It's normal to feel stressed sometimes,
so don't let it bother you.

You're very kind.

I understand now
why you admire Detective Isshiki so much.

Right?

My school was really competitive,
and people often picked fights with me.

But if you hone your skills and put them
in their place, they stay quiet.

That just makes things worse!

You're funny, Mr. Kamokyuu.

Yes… I'll do my best to hone my skills
as you suggest,

and try to make a difference,
like Assistant Professor Aoe!

I'll cheer you on, Himeno!

Thank you!

Would it be okay to meet up privately
to talk more about aces?

I still have so much to say!

You're welcome anytime!

Well then,
here's my personal contact info.

-Really?
-Of course!

Wonderful! Just a moment, please.
I'll show you.

Thank you.

-See you later.
-All right, see you.

I was worried about yesterday's interview,
but it was fun.

Yeah, seeing how similar
Himeno and Chikori were was amusing.

They were like perfectly in-sync sisters.

By the way, Chikori actually thinks
you're aiming to become a detective.

What's wrong with that?
I solve cases just like a detective.

Speak of the devil.

Hello?

Detective Isshiki…

An explosion in the lab?!

Chikori, calm down…

Someone was in the lab…

Himeno… is dead…

TO-KYO UNIVERSITY

MARUYAMA LAB
POLICE

Amamiya!

Isshiki? I didn't call you.
What are you doing here?

Someone I know
got killed in the explosion. So I…

You mean Himeno?

According to forensics, the shielded room
was filled with combustible gas,

and the moment the door opened,
it ignited from an external heat source.

Combustible gas in a psychology lab?

Yes, it's unnatural.

Apparently, they've never used
gas in experiments before.

The most likely heat source
is the heat gun used in experiments,

but according to the students,
they would never leave it on unattended.

Then the explosion…

We believe someone intentionally
caused the explosion. It was murder.

It can't be…

To kill Himeno in such a cruel way…

Amamiya, please!

Let me take charge of this case!

You're too involved. I can't put someone
so emotional in charge of this case.

Okay.

It's a call. Hold on.

Hello?

What? I see.

I'll be right there.

There's another case.
You'll have to handle things here.

She wasn't on the phone…

If you mess up,
I'll take over immediately.

Understood!

Thank you!

You're in charge of the case,
Detective Isshiki?

I'm so relieved.
I know you'll make sure to avenge Himeno.

You're my… You're our ace.

I'll head over as soon as I'm ready!

Don't push yourself, Chikori.
I'll let you know if we learn anything.

Okay. See you.

Toto…

I know… I'll do what I can.

-Let's start with questioning.
-Right.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AOE

Why did it have to be Himeno,
of all people?

My sincere condolences.

I'm sorry, but what did you do
after your meeting yesterday?

It's just a routine question.

I was in the research building until late,
conducting experiments on the MRI.

When I passed by the lab on my way out,
the lights were off.

I see.

Did the explosion cause
significant damage to the lab?

We can replace the equipment,

but the computer containing ten years
of experimental data was damaged,

and that data is invaluable.

Still, that's nothing
compared to Himeno's life…

To think how her parents must feel,
I'm at a loss for words.

Why did this have to happen?

We'll have experts check
if the data can be recovered.

Did you notice anything else?

No…

There was something
I wanted to discuss with you.

It's a letter addressed to the lab.

It was sent by an anonymous person.

-The postmark is from yesterday.
-We'll take a look.

HIMENO KANAE!
YOU'LL GET DIVINE PUNISHMENT!

A threat!

Someone bore a grudge against Himeno?

If so, it was a premeditated crime.

The killer knew that Himeno would
enter the shielded room this morning.

LECTURE ROOM

According to Assistant Professor Aoe,

the use of the shielded room
was left up to the students.

Did anyone know Himeno
would be using the lab this morning?

Yes. All three of us knew.

We all wanted to use the lab this morning,

so we decided by drawing lots
on a messaging app just after midnight.

Did anyone else know about this?

No, it's just the four of us in the group.

So, sometime between
the lot drawing and the early morning,

one of you snuck into the lab
and set up the explosion.

What did each of you do
after the drawing until morning?

It was late, so I went to bed right away.

I woke up around 9:00 as usual,
and came to university.

Same here.

Me too, but are you suspecting us?

So, because we have no alibis,
we're suspects?

Are our futures being ruined over this?

Oh, I know, Oigawa seems suspicious!

What?!

Himeno reported him to the university for
deleting her data from the lab computer!

How do you know that?

I saw Himeno consulting
with the assistant professor.

Didn't you think she was in your way?

Imai!
You have a pretty strong motive yourself!

What did you say?

After she dumped you, you kept showing up
at her place and got labeled a stalker.

You even said,
"I'll make her pay one day!"

Creep.

Shut up, Niki! You hated Himeno the most!

Whenever she complained that you canceled
MRI experiments, you wished she'd die.

No, that's completely different!

This morning, you said, "I'm more shocked
that all the research data is gone!"

What? That has nothing to do
with this case, you creep!

What did you say?

Hey, please calm down!

What do you mean she complained
about cancellations of MRI experiments?

MRI maintenance costs are huge,

so we need to maximize its usage.
Last-minute cancellations are forbidden.

Assistant Professor Aoe
is especially strict about that.

He places the utmost importance
on efficiency and reliability.

I see. Thank you.

Ron?

You said the police already obtained
the lab's entry records, right?

Hey, hold on!

That's all for now! Thank you very much.

We may call you back later.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Why did you leave so suddenly?

Something feels off.
I wouldn't normally do that.

Huh?

Why did the threatening letter
arrive after the incident?

What do you mean?

Since the letter arrived
after Himeno's death,

it couldn't
frighten her anymore, could it?

What is it?

You're right.
No one would think like that.

It's almost like
you understand the killer's mindset.

People have told me that for years.

Also, the postmark on the letter
was from yesterday.

Why did the killer send
the threatening letter targeting Himeno

before it was even confirmed
that she'd be coming to the lab?

Good point.

Do you have the records
for the lab entries?

Yes.

Until a month ago, Professor Maruyama
and Aoe were frequent users.

But Professor Maruyama's name disappears
partway due to his trip overseas.

Assistant Professor Aoe hasn't used it
at all for the past week either.

Instead, Himeno and Oigawa's
names show up more often.

Niki and Imai often borrowed it
together in the afternoons.

Let me see that.

Himeno must have had a hard time
in a lab filled with so much hostility.

Who could the killer possibly be?
I have no clue at all.

Honestly, everyone seems suspicious.

The exact motive remains a mystery.

But I have a good idea who the killer is.

I won't let them escape.

The ruthless murderer
born from the hostility in this lab.
