Original subtitles

The victim is Kawabe Takao.

He's an importer but he was also doing well as a moneylender.

Beaten to death by a blunt object it seems.

That's correct.

We assume the murder weapon was a vase.

And where is it?

About that... it's missing.

Then how did you assume it was a vase?

The victim's wife said, "A vase is missing."

I think it was around 8 o'clock...

The criminal took the vase?

What for?

Because of the finger prints, of course.

This was left by the criminal.

He brings the murder weapon but forgets his scarf?

Maybe.

It was left on purpose or by mistake?

This muffler... is hand knitted...

What's wrong with Yana-san?

Who knows, something personal, I guess.

Better if we leave him alone.

What's up, Yana?!

This guy can be so stupid. -Hey!

Yana-san, Yana-san!

Hey Wanko!

Wanko is at the office.

Right, I forgot.

Boss, please let me go to the scene!

I've already told you.

You'll just drag the case. You'll only be a nuisance!

I'm ok!

These kind of thing is usually cured in a week though.

This isn't an ordinary police drama.

Tea.

But I'm hurt.

It's 'rehabilitation.'

Bring me tea.

You're a selfish man.

Aaah, I'm sorry!

Don't worry, it's ok.

Yes?

['breaking the criminal' - finding the culprit]

Breaking something is a sign that will lead to "breaking the criminal."

Take it easy today, I'll clean this up...

I get it... "It's truly great achievement of the injury," right?

You're using it wrongly.

I see.

"Breaking the criminal.."

Don't break it on purpose.

File 4: "How does a lie smell like?"

Was it because I broke the cup? The arrest was done quickly.

You're wrong. The suspect denied the charges.

You don't believe the evidence is enough?

I only believe in the abilities of a detective.

Please,let me observe today.

Allow me to watch up close Shige-san's interrogation skills.

It'll be 'a truly great achievement of the injury'... Did I use it correctly?

Here's Hiroshi Suzuki.

Have a seat.

I ...

Didn't do it.

No matter what the reason is.

Just tell us what happened on that night--

What are you doing?!

Please.

We'll be standing by.

-Kiri.

Yes.

-Please record the minutes.

Yes.

Wanko.

Yes.

Today you'll do the interrogation.

You've done this before, right?

Of course, I've done it.

Shige-san, that's a reckless decision. Please let me do it instead.

Wanko.

Yes!

[MPD - Metropolitan Police Department of Tokyo]

I'm MPD Police Detective, Hanamori Ichiko.

I will be in charge of your interrogation.

Despite my looks, I'm a full-fledged detective.

Your name is Hiroshi Suzuki, isn't it?

You have the right to remain silent and to appoint legal counsel.

Letting Wanko do the questioning?... Is Shige planning on something?

I bet he has something in mind.

Seems you chose to remain silent, huh?

You broke into Kawabe-san's office around 10pm.

Then, you hit him on the back of the head with a vase from the office.

which led to his death.

A witness see you enter the office building of Kawabe-san.

Also we have your fingerprints... they were found on the doorknob.

And this...

It's yours, isn't it?

It's useless to deny it.

It has your smell all over it.

Please say something...

Fine, then..

[katsudon - fried pork cutlet]

-Kiri-san, bring katsudon. -Huh?

I wanna test if it could help open up the suspect.

Such cliche doesn't work on real interrogations.

Wanko.

You can't offer the suspect katsudon,let alone a cigarette.

Accommodations become invalid during an interrogation.

What if Suzuki-san pays for it with his money?

Do you want to eat?

If you're hungry, you may not care to talk much, right?

-Let's switch now.

-Cutting me off in such moment.

-For how long are you gonna act like this?

Ok, let's begin.

I did it...

So you did it--

Eh?

You mean... what?

Just that, I killed Kawabe.

What technique did Shige-san use?

Who knows...

You're confessing?

Yes.

Hurry and give me the death penalty.

Wanko, this case got solved in record time.

'Deka Wanko' as a 15 minute drama, huh?

-Looks like the 'broken cup' sign worked out fine. -Yes!

Did Wanko really solve this one?

-It's pretty odd. -It sure is?

The cup-breaking works, she proved it.

What about the motive, he still hasn't talked about it yet?

Yeah. Also his association with the victim remains unknown.

Importation and debt also were not related to his work.

What about they met on the street and got into a fight?

If the investigation is still ongoing, how would you make an arrest?

Will you be able to continue?

About that..

You must get permission from 10 pm to 8 am.

At this point if the weapon isn't found, it's useless no matter how long it takes.

About the murder weapon, "I threw it into the river" he said, right?

It's their jurisdiction, they're gonna stay up all night looking for it. They're gonna find it by tomorrow morning.

I think there was a moment I found odd.

-Odd? Why? -Don't ask.

-I'm also intrigued. -Eh?

Why did Suzuki confess that easily?

It's because of Shige-san's aura.

Listen to me.

Suzuki-san's scent had changed.

Scent?

The scent he had when he entered the interrogation room was different from the smell when he confessed.

Something like that can't be true.

Wanko's sense of smell is very sharp.

Sense of smell?

-What is it? -Where are you going?

[udon - noodles made from wheat flour]

Today's special is udon.

-Of course not, idiot! The special for today is porridge of rice and vegetables, for sure.

-Sorry for the delay. -Udon?

It's just a coincidence.

What's this? We asked for the long rice.

-Long Rice? -Who ordered udon, was it Wanko?

Me... was it a good choice?

Are you dumb!?

-Why?!

Ordering long noodles

is bad luck because they will 'prolong the investigation!'

We never order it when we're handling a case.

It doesn't matter anyway.

-The culprit is already in prison, the case is solved.

-Tomorrow we continue as usual, please everyone, do your best.

-Yes! -Let's eat then.

Pour in more broth.

-I'm going this way. -Good work!

Good work!

-Koma-san, today I...

I ate too much udon.

-Wanko. -Yes.

Wanko, you think Suzuki-san is not the culprit?

He's not the criminal?

Don't you think so?

Didn't the criminal admit it?

An admission could also be a lie.

Ah, is that so...

Then, what about that change of smell you said before?

Yes, it's a mystery that his body scent changed all the sudden.

Is that so..

Why do you ask?

It's not important.

See you then.

Good work!

Feels good...

Uh? Alisa-chan What are you doing?

Someone took the hamburger I bought for my lunch,

It was gone by the time I finished cleaning.

I didn't eat it!

Eh? Then...

There are two suspects...

Grandpa, Grandma.

Good morning Ichiko-chan!

Good morning.

Who ate the hamburger?

What's wrong with the suspender?

It was you, Grandpa!

The smell gave you away.

I didn't eat it..

Liar, liar.

Grandpa, don't play dumb.

Really, it wasn't me.

Don't play dumb with me, I know you very well.

Grandpa!

I got it.

The smell of a lie!

What? The scent changes when they're lying?

The body odor changes when they're lying.

Is that true?

Suzuki-san's scent was different when he entered the interrogation room

from the scent he gave when he confessed.

Uhm, so?

How do you know which one is the lie or truth?

Which is which?

You can't tell them apart, can you?

Yes.

I leave it to you.

'sup, killer!

How does it feel to kill someone?

-Shige-san! -Feels good?

They say it feels great, did he die instantly?

How did you know he was dead, did you check him?

Did his head explode? I wonder when you hit him on the back, were there lots of blood?

Please teach me, tell me how to do it silently!

-Did he suffer?.. -Shige-san, excuse us..

-Please leave Shige-san. -Teach me! Teach me!

-Shige-san. -Let me go, let me go!

I just want to hear you talk about how you killed him!

-How did you do it? -Shige-san, calm down!!

-Let me go!! -I'm not letting you go!

Please let me go.

Eh?

It was just an act.

An act?

You were really believable.

I was scaring him, so he talked the truth

But you two screwed this up.

Ah, sorry.

I'll go change my clothes.

That bastard!!

-Koma-san -He was lying after all.

Hey you!

We didn't find the vase you said you threw in the river!

Don't play with me you bastard!

-Where did you throw it?! -This ain't right!

Ouch!

Did I hit you? Sorry Wanko.

I.. I'm fine.

See what you caused? Just confess already!

You had enough? you're wasting my time.

Let's go Wanko... We need your nose.

-But.. -Huh!?

Kiri.

Please..

This means....

Right.

We're here.

Wanko?

What are you doing?

Good morning! I fell sleep.

-It's not "good morning" anymore.

Huh? Your foot...

-It's healed. -I can see that!!

This smell...

Ahh, Mikhail!!

What are you doing here, Mikhail? I'm happy to see you again though.

Mikhail~

He's working. Please don't interrupt.

Yes, sorry!

-We're relying on the police dog's sense of smell. -Yes.

Mikhail, search!

Wanko, you too, do your best.

-Yes. -Sniff!

How is it? Can you follow it?

The smell from Kawabe-san is very strong.

But I already know Suzuki-san's scent.

But there's this one thing....

-There's another scent... -Who?

I'll follow Kawabe-san's blood scent.

Over there!

You followed the same path as Mikhail, Wanko.

Yes, I will not lose.

Chanko.

Koma-san, the track seems to stop at this park.

-Ok, do a deep search. -I'll call for backup.

Boss, Kirishima here...

Mikhail, don't give up.

Koma-san, Kiri-san.

The smell came from there.

That stinks, it's obvious.

-Go take a look. -Go.

-Go quickly. -Yes.

Damn...At least flush it...

-How was it? -There was nothing.

-Also nothing. -Did you check the water tank?

I did.

-The smell came from the roof. -The roof?

Ok, Kiri.

Yes.

I'm borrowing your bike just a sec.

-I'm going up. -Yes.

Here it is.

-Bingo! -Ok.

Nice Wanko.

Don't feel bad.

Your nose will find the next one.

Mikhail.

Wanko, great job back there.

-Thanks. -That's it for today.

-Thank you. -I'm going back to HQ.

Kiri, you treat yourselves to something good.

Thank you!

-Selfish. -Cheapskate.

-What do you want to eat? -Maybe chanko hotpot?

-Or maybe the one that boss likes. -Eh? like rice omelette?

Ichiko-chan!

-Alisa-chan! You're passing by here? -Nope.

Patrasche...

Because there were many people, I guess he got curious.

This guy, is he your boyfriend?

-Of course not! -That's my line!

-He's my partner, Kiri-san. -3 years your senior!

Detective!? He doesn't look like one!

See you later.

Hey, have you tried our monjayaki?

-Eh? -Try it!

Kiri-san, it seems Alisa-chan likes you.

Wait a sec...

Right? Woof-woof!

I'm home.

Our monja is really delicious.

Huh? Commissioner!

'sup, Hanamori-kun.

The Commissioner of Police?

And you are Kirishima-kun right?

[Note: Kiri is using very polite terms]

Yes, sir, I am Kirishima Ryuuta.

At ease, Private. Relax.

-Yes. -So cute~

This is ready, go ahead and eat.

-Looks delicious. -Aren't you guys eating?

Yeah, let's eat Kiri-san. Here you go.

-Itadakimasu~ -How's the Sumidagawa police incident? Is there any progress?

Yes, we've found the murder weapon.

I see.

You are working for the group of Shigemura-kun?

Yes, he let me do the interrogation.

-But.. -But?

He's a strange person.

Wanko!

Because of his changing characters.

He's a real detective.

He knows how to get to the truth.

Is that so?

We found the murder weapon.

It's being analyzed in the lab, as we speak.

You look troubled.

I know it now.

What?

That you...

Didn't kill Kawabe-san.

Eh? Shige-san believes that Suzuki-san is not the culprit?

Judging from the current facts, it is possible to think so.

The scent from Suzuki-san changed when confessing, that meant he was lying.

I think Shige-san knew about the change of smell, too.

No. Don't you think that maybe he saw the color?

Color?

"Hide the color as I may..."

[from a 10th century poem by Taira no Kanemori]

"On my cheeks yet it appears- My fond secret love..."

"Til people smile and say: 'Where are thy thoughts today?'"

[Hyakunin Isshu - An anthology of 100 poems by 100 poets]

Hyakunin Isshu.

The thoughts that you hide in your heart,

can emerge to the surface without you even noticing it.

The change on your opponent's face shouldn't be overlooked.

That's a true condition of an excellent detecive.

We will study it!

Now, it's time for me to leave.

-Can't you stay for a little while? -It's not that late.

Thank you, I'll come by next time.

Oh, I almost forgot this.

I have a lot of these refreshments, I thought of giving him some.

Can you give these to him for me?

-To Gara-san, right? -Yes.

Tell him to keep this in a warm place.

Understood.

So...

-I'm leaving now. -Thanks for coming by.

-Come by again. -Good job.

Wanko, what was that all about?

-Do you want some yakisoba? -I want, I want!

-Yes, Kiri-san do you want some, too? -Looks delicious.

Excuse me... I'm Yamamoto Sayuri.

I'd like to speak with the person who was charged

for the murder of Kawabe-san that occured in Chitose.

You mean, Hiroshi Suzuki?

Yes.

I'm in charge of the investigation, I'm Yanagi, Yanagi Seishiro.

Can I have a word with you?

Yes.

Are you two dating?

Yes.

He's not the kind of person who can commit a crime.

But we have a confession!

It's a lie.

We have a witness who said he saw him going out where the murder took place.

It's wrong!

We also found something that belongs to him at the scene.

The one who killed Kawabe-san was me.

So what happened to her?

She's still at the police station.

Mmmm? -Eh?

He's asking about the alibi.

There's no alibi.

But it's really questionable, isn't it?

Why?

Because there's no way she did it.

No way?

What's your rationale?

She doesn't look like a murderer.

Yana, why are you insisting that much?

Yana, is she a beautiful woman?

Beautiful woman!?

Ouch!

Hey Deiku, is it possibly THAt type of girl?

Yes! Like this, like this.

-What does that mean? -You know...

Aaaaah!

Yana, sorry but it's hard to back you up on this one.

Here you go.

The fingerprint found in the vase matches the ones from Suzuki-san.

There's no doubt now, he's our guy.

But before Suzuki touched it, it seemed that the vase was wiped clean.

This means.. What does this mean?

Means there's a possibility that Suzuki-san is protecting Yamamoto Sayuri, don't you think?

What should we do?

But if assuming that the woman who is in love with the suspect...

who had already admitted his sin,

and entered the police in a dignified manner.

Does she have a motive?

She doesn't but..

There's monetary trouble between them and Kawabe-san.

Yana!

Sayuri-san was the co-signer of the debt of a friend

but it seems like Kawabe-san was asking for the money too persistently.

I see.

And Suzuki-san knew it and went there to protect her.

Exactly!

One week ago Susuzi-san made a mess at Kawabe-san' office.

That time, the employees had been driven out because of the mess.

Uhm, I don't really know if Suzuki-san is a criminal or not

But Sayuri-san is not a criminal.

-You're right! -Why?

There was no scent of her left at the scene.

Scent..

Looks like Chanko doesn't understand what Wanko's nose can do.

That nose found us the murder weapon.

There was no track of Sayuri-san's scent on the vase either.

Only Suzuki-san's scent was on the vase?

No, there was another person's scent, but it was weak.

But there was the same scent at the crime scene as well.

So, there's a chance there's another suspect.

Please.

You, you didn't kill Kawabe-san.

The murder weapon had my fingerprints on it.

The entire vase was checked for fingerprints.

What kind of fingerprint would stick and make the most durability?

The ones that are placed on purpose.

But hear this,

Sayuri-san's fingerprints also came up.

That's impossible!

-Uhm. -Shige-san!

"There's no way they came up because I cleaned them," you say?

Even if Sayuri-san's fingerprints came up,

They can be from another time.

She was worried about her friend's debt,

She just talked to him that day.

Wait just a second.

Shige-san, it's ok to lie to him?

Did Sayuri-san's fingerprints really come up?

-They did.

Didn't you read the report that just came up?

You're lying!

Shige-san is disillusioned.

We are the allies of justice.

An ally of justice never tells a lie. This doesn't happen on TV.

You two get out.

I don't want to.

Shige-san, just a sec.

Ehm, sorry about that.

Ah, it's ok.

Suzuki-san, you just want to protect Sayuri-san don't you?

Sayuri-san feels the same way.

"I killed Kawabe-san," she said.

We have witness confirmation.

There was a woman who entered the crime scene at the time of death.

There's a face confirmation?

Yamamoto Sayuri, there's no doubt now.

Suzuki-san.

Can you tell us the truth now?

He knows.

Thanks to the honesty of this detective,

I can speak honestly too.

Please tell us about that night.

Sayuri-san became the co-signer without even knowing it,

and she gained a huge debt because of that.

I wanted to speak to him, just the two of us,

so I visited his office late that night.

The door was open.

Kawabe-san?

I went in as I called his name.

Kawabe-san!!

I found her cellphone's strap.

A tiny bell.

A bell?

The scarf you found

I placed it near his corpse,

then, I took the bell and the vase.

Where's that bell?

I have it with me, it's in my wallet.

Thanks.

For speaking the truth.

Earlier..

Sayuri would not have admitted it.

If you had killed me first.

Sayuri... will she get the death penalty or not?

Please.

Please...

I beg you!

Suzuki-san.

Eh? A lie?! -Yes.

Yamamoto Sayuri was not seen at the scene.

That's mean! Suzuki-san trusted us,

he even told us the truth.

The important thing in any investigation, is to get to the truth.

-Even if you lie to achieve it. -But..

By believeing Suzuki-san's lie,

the true culprit gets away with it

However, Sayuri-san is not the culprit.

Are you sure?

Her scent wasn't on the

vase or in the crime scene at all.

Wanko's nose may smell the truth.

But that's not enough evidence.

Please review witness information.

As for me, I'm gonna talk with Sayuri-san about this.

That means that....You set this all up.

Set up?

He made us angry by telling us about

the witness who see her at the scene, so he buy that and talk the truth.

You got me.

The first attempt failed because of you two, so I had to try it again.

There's love tied with a lie.

Shigemura-san is pretty cool huh?

Kotomi, don't you used to think that Koma-san was the cool one?

They're both cool.

-What about Yana-san? -Yana-san?

You know the guy who smells like iron.

I don't remember him...

Excuse me.

The woman the witness saw was not Sayuri-san.

Are you sure?

There's no doubt about it!! The body type doesn't match.

The criminal is a skinny woman.

Yana said "it's a skinny woman."

That means it's a regular woman?

This... is it yours?

Let me see..

No, it's not mine.

Ah, it's Shige-san.

Yes, it's Hanamori.

Where are you right now?

Akane bridge, East town.

Come here to Chitose right now.

Chitose? The victim's home?

Shige-san!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Let's go talk to Kawabe-san's wife.

-Yes. -You know what you gotta do right?

Yes.

Excuse me.

We need you to confirm some things.

No problem, but I don't have much time.

You said you need me to clear some things...

Wha.. what's this?

I'm sorry but... can you come with us to the police station?

Police station?

Looks like you're treating me like a suspect.

You're a prime witness to Kawabe-san murder,

We'd like to hear your side.

This bell belongs to you doesn't it?

I know nothing about that.

Mine is attached to my cellphone.

That's the second one you bought from a Ginza shop called "Zion".

Besides, I didn't say anything about a phone strap.

You killed Kawabe-san didn't you?

I didn't kill him!

She's a stubborn one.

I wonder what kind of technique he's gonna use today.

What's he doing?

What is he doing?

Success!

So, this is for the brand new Shige-san, good job!

This could't be possible without Wanko's nose.

Thanks for the help.

You were incredible...

Because yours is an incredible nose.

Shige-san, here you go.

Thanks.

But I'm so happy. That Suzuki-san and Sayuri-san.

are free of guilt at the end.

They're a couple of liars.

There's no human being who doesn't tell a lie.

No way!

There's also love that starts as a lie

no matter what the lie is, love will pass through in the end.

So true...

But, it's weird...

Shige-san's scent didn't change, even when you told a lie.

What do you think about this Yana?

Hey, where's Yana? -He's not here yet.

Yana.

Do you want to cry?

Yes.

You can cry on my belly as much as you want.

By the way Shige.

What did you say to the wife?

Please tell us. -What is it?

About that..

That was... a trade secret.

Lying again?

That lie is between that interrogation room and the bed.

Huh? Bed?

Don't worry, we got it.

We'll get the meaning of that later.

Excuse me.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

The priority goes to the investigation above all.

And to solve it safely above all too.

Shige-san is amazing after all.

No matter who he appear to be.

He has a good understanding of the human heart.

I wonder if I could become a detecive like Shige-san.

-There's no need for that. -Huh?

That's because you have a sharp sense of smell.

What you should be doing is focus

and polish that ability of yours to its maximum.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Now I seem to get the smell of a lie too.

When there's a lie, the odor from the underarms smell diferent.

I guess that's the reason why the smell is so faint.

Is that so. -I think.

It's an advantage among the normal people.

I almost forgot, thanks for the present.

Ah, no, that's from the commissioner.

The commissioner?

Though, he said it was nothing,

how come you get along with the Commissioner?

Even during the time you were arrested...

he still seems to like you?

"A detective was giving information to the yakuzas"

"All the members are suspects?"

"I'm extremely sorry about what happened..."

But why?

The comissioner is open minded, that's why.

At that time..

"I'm the culprit, arrest me."

"Cuff me!"

There's something weird about your scent at the scene...

somehow at that time, I did not understand it.

But...

Wanko.

Perhaps Gara-san...

didn't kill Nanba-san after all?

Gara-san... Even through the glass I can smell the same scent...

The smell of a lie.
