Takeru-san used it... 330 00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:51,100 ...to climb up the second floor window and entered the house. 331 00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:53,940 But it's just because it was wet...? 332 00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:57,290 - There were several other evidences. - Like what? 333 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,780 - The dead bee. - Eh? 334 00:24:00,780 --> 00:24:02,800 It seems to be a hornfaced bee... 335 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,690 ...used for the pollination of apples. 336 00:24:04,690 --> 00:24:08,850 Then it must have flown from the apple orchard, right? 337 00:24:08,850 --> 00:24:12,740 The foraging radius of a hornfaced bee is very small... 338 00:24:12,740 --> 00:24:16,510 It only flies about 40 meters, or at the utmost, 70 meters. 339 00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:18,310 - So? - The Nishino house... 340 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:21,910 ..is located 100 meters from the apple orchard. 341 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,160 The chance of a hornfaced bee flying all the way... 342 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,320 ...to Nishino-san's house is extremely small. 343 00:24:29,730 --> 00:24:33,320 - Then, where did it come from? - The apple orchard. 344 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,320 - Eh? But... - Do you remember... 345 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,990 ...parts of the dead bee's belly had been crushed? 346 00:24:38,990 --> 00:24:40,930 - Ah, yes. - I think after it died... 347 00:24:40,930 --> 00:24:44,900 ...it got stuck to something and was transported to the Nishino house. 348 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,670 On something...? 349 00:24:46,670 --> 00:24:50,760 Based on the three indentations left on the ground, it is obvious. 350 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,270 - Ah. - That's right. 351 00:24:55,930 --> 00:24:57,990 It was the step ladder. 352 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,540 In other words, it is sufficient to say that Takeru-san may have... 353 00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:10,790 ...killed Manami-san. 354 00:25:10,790 --> 00:25:14,300 So please release Nishino-san and let him return home. 355 00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:16,530 Three days without allowing him to return home... 356 00:25:16,530 --> 00:25:18,870 ...has clearly gone too far. 357 00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:21,600 Thank you very much. 358 00:25:22,130 --> 00:25:25,900 We'll go back to Tokyo for now but we'll continue to investigate the case. 359 00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:28,040 Once we find something, we'll contact you right away. 360 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,310 Thank you. Please be sure to catch Takeru. 361 00:25:31,310 --> 00:25:33,280 It's still not yet certain if it was Takeru-san. 362 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,940 Ah, sorry. 363 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,350 The train will be departing soon...

I just arrived at Narita Airport this morning. 367 00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:22,670 Thank you for waiting. 368 00:26:25,030 --> 00:26:28,570 Huh? Where's the scale model? You didn't make one? 369 00:26:28,570 --> 00:26:31,680 We just came back last night... So there wasn't time. 370 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,300 I see... No scale model. 371 00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:39,040 - Were you expecting it? - It's not that but... 372 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,800 You see, I didn't get to see the actual scene. 373 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,690 Please try to imagine it... 374 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,370 As soon as you enter through the front door, there are stairs right down the hall. 375 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,700 - Ah. Amazing. - What is it? 376 00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:56,260 Then, let's examine it. 377 00:26:56,260 --> 00:26:59,890 Still, one possible escape route is... here. 378 00:26:59,890 --> 00:27:02,030 - What's 'here'? - The only open window... 379 00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:04,620 ...on the first floor at the north side. Can't you see it? 380 00:27:04,620 --> 00:27:06,140 - I can't see it. - How did the culprit... 381 00:27:06,140 --> 00:27:09,710 ...escape without leaving footprints in the mud? 382 00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,270 I wonder if he used the stepladder? 383 00:27:14,270 --> 00:27:17,660 The culprit could have stretched out the ladder from the window and onto the grassy ground... 384 00:27:17,660 --> 00:27:21,660 ...Could he have escaped by crawling on to it? 385 00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:26,660 When the crime happened, Tsuji-san was using the stepladder. 386 00:27:28,990 --> 00:27:31,780 Could there be any other method? 387 00:27:40,730 --> 00:27:43,090 I cannot see anything. 388 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,690 - Yes. This is Aoto. - This is Endo. 389 00:27:48,690 --> 00:27:51,390 We just received a call from the police. 390 00:27:51,390 --> 00:27:53,360 "Was there any new lead on the case?" 391 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,290 Yes. They found out where Takeru was staying. 392 00:27:56,290 --> 00:27:58,420 - Where is it? - "In an apartment in Tokyo." 393 00:27:58,420 --> 00:28:01,520 - "Although they didn't find him there." - Please tell me the details. 394 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,710 This morning, the room's... alarm system, is that what it's called? 395 00:28:05,710 --> 00:28:08,710 There was a report of the alarm being set off... 396 00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:12,730 ...so the police and security company staff rushed over to the scene. 397 00:28:12,730 --> 00:28:15,510 The door was locked so the building caretaker tried to use a duplicate key... 398 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:19,140 ...but the lock had been changed without permission. 399 00:28:19,140 --> 00:28:21,130 So they weren't able to open it. 400 00:28:21,130 --> 00:28:24,590 They tried calling but since there was no response, they had no choice but to forcibly open it... 401 00:28:24,590 --> 00:28:26,660 ...and entered inside. 402 00:28:33,660 --> 00:28:36,670 They found a gold ingot inside the room. 403 00:28:37,290 --> 00:28:40,330 "So when they checked the identity of the person who rented the room..." 404 00:28:40,330 --> 00:28:44,380 They found out that Takeru had rented it using an alias. 405 00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:46,460 - An alias? - Takeru... 406 00:28:46,460 --> 00:28:50,320 ...had acquired a large amount of debt from a nasty consumer loan... 407 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,510 ..and it seems he had been fleeing from the collectors. 408 00:28:52,510 --> 00:28:56,690 And along with the gold ingot... they also found large amounts of drugs... 409 00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:59,690 They suspect he was dealing drugs, too. 410 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,210 How was it? 411 00:29:06,210 --> 00:29:09,700 As suspected, the one who reported it was the security monitor person from our company. 412 00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:11,960 Did you find out anything? 413 00:29:12,410 --> 00:29:16,230 The one who placed the gold in the room... 414 00:29:17,950 --> 00:29:21,640 ...might not have been Takeru-san. - What? 415 00:29:26,670 --> 00:29:30,110 The security system in that room is the type that you'll set the alarm when you leave... 416 00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:33,510 ...then the next time the door is opened, you must disarm it within one minute... 417 00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:35,930 ...or else, the alarm will go off. 418 00:29:35,930 --> 00:29:38,520 That means, if it was Takeru-san who placed the gold ingot... 419 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,250 ...the first thing he would have done after he came home... 420 00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:43,250 ...was to disarm the alarm system. 421 00:29:43,250 --> 00:29:45,440 Couldn't he have simply forgotten it? 422 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,130 Even then, he should have stopped the alarm once it started ringing. 423 00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:53,680 Perhaps the person who entered the room, hid the gold in the closet... 424 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,220 ...and left the room within one minute. 425 00:29:56,730 --> 00:30:00,390 He may have heard the sound while he was outside... 426 00:30:00,670 --> 00:30:03,690 ...but maybe he didn't understand what the sound was about. 427 00:30:03,850 --> 00:30:05,420 Why? 428 00:30:05,790 --> 00:30:10,700 That person never heard the the sound of an alarm before. 429 00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:14,630 Or he didn't even know such a thing as an alarm system. 430 00:30:15,270 --> 00:30:17,920 - "Didn't know"? - Yes. 431 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,640 Because he was born and raised in a place where you never see those things. 432 00:30:23,940 --> 00:30:26,650 Don't tell me that you're suspecting Nishino-san? 433 00:30:26,650 --> 00:30:29,650 I feel that is my most reasonable deduction. 434 00:30:33,170 --> 00:30:37,220 In short, it was Nishino-san who opened the window... 435 00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:39,840 He was going to frame Takeru for the crime right from the start... 436 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,510 ...It all fits. - But Takeru-san was seen... 437 00:30:42,510 --> 00:30:44,480 ...in the village the night before the incident. 438 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,340 Is it possible that it was... 439 00:30:46,340 --> 00:30:49,430 ...Nishino-san in disguise pretending to be Takeru? 440 00:30:50,110 --> 00:30:53,150 For the villagers, Takeru is seen as a symbol of fear... 441 00:30:53,150 --> 00:30:56,050 It wouldn't be strange that Takeru is the first thing that comes to their minds... 442 00:30:56,050 --> 00:30:58,330 ...when they suddenly see a suspicious person. 443 00:30:58,330 --> 00:31:00,020 You have a point... 444 00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:02,720 But that evening, Nishino-san was staying... 445 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,690 ...at Endo-san's house so he had an alibi. 446 00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:08,820 If ever Nishino-san was the culprit... 447 00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:12,690 ...then who was the one at the house when Manami-san returned home? 448 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640 I thought of something... 449 00:31:24,610 --> 00:31:27,640 ...Could it have been a ghost? - What? 450 00:31:27,790 --> 00:31:31,640 Manami-san might have seen a ghost. 451 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,470 Surely that house is being haunted by a sinister ghost... 452 00:31:35,470 --> 00:31:39,650 ...and robbed Manami-san of her life. 453 00:31:45,940 --> 00:31:48,560 Alright, let's call it a day. 454 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,660 Eh? Oh. W-Wait. Please wait a minute. 455 00:31:51,660 --> 00:31:54,500 I don't believe in paranormal stuff. 456 00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:56,180 You weren't in the house.... 457 00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:59,760 ...so you don't know it. I really saw a ghost light! 458 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,490 Whether it be a ghost or a UFO... 459 00:32:02,490 --> 00:32:04,290 ...such a thing can be explained by science! 460 00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:05,840 As long as you're deluded by such things... 461 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,130 ....you'll never see the truth! Right? Enomoto. 462 00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:12,280 - I see. - What? 463 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,260 ("Chronology of Science and Discovery") 464 00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:47,530 Could it be that what I said... 465 00:32:47,530 --> 00:32:49,950 ...was helpful? 466 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,660 Yes. 467 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,190 The locked room... 468 00:33:03,070 --> 00:33:05,670 ...can't be unlocked. 469 00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:22,590 I know who was the real culprit who killed Manami-san. 470 00:33:22,690 --> 00:33:26,590 Really? Who was it? 471 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,140 It was Manami-san's brother... ...Takeru-san. 472 00:33:38,390 --> 00:33:41,610 "Ah. Who're you?!" 473 00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:54,630 I knew it was Takeru. 474 00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:59,630 So how did he escape from here? 475 00:34:03,210 --> 00:34:07,120 - He didn't go anywhere. - What? 476 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,150 After repeated validation... 477 00:34:11,150 --> 00:34:14,650 ...I wasn't able to find the escape route of the culprit. 478 00:34:14,650 --> 00:34:20,580 That's because when the incident occured... 479 00:34:20,580 --> 00:34:24,090 ...this house was truly in a locked room situation. 480 00:34:24,150 --> 00:34:26,590 What do you mean? 481 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,810 Let me give you a step by step explanation of the incident. 482 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,660 On the night before the incident, Takeru-san came back to his hometown for the first time in 4 years. 483 00:34:44,610 --> 00:34:48,610 When he arrived, everyone was out and the house was empty. 484 00:34:48,610 --> 00:34:51,160 So Takeru-san decided to break into the house... 485 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,130 ...by loosening the stripped thumbscrew lock on the second floor window. 486 00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:10,970 He secretly took out the stepladder from the apple orchard... 487 00:35:10,970 --> 00:35:14,640 Afterwards, he unlocked the front door from the inside and went out to return the stepladder. 488 00:35:14,830 --> 00:35:17,250 Then, Takeru-san spent the night in this house. 489 00:35:17,250 --> 00:35:22,710 The next day, Manami-san chanced upon him when she came home. 490 00:35:33,060 --> 00:35:35,090 "Ah. Who're you?!" 491 00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:38,830 "Yo." 492 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,120 "Onii-chan." 493 00:35:42,210 --> 00:35:44,600 At that moment, something must have happened... 494 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,600 ...and he impulsively killed Manami-san. 495 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:49,500 "Manami?" 496 00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:54,590 Shortly thereafter, Nishino-san arrived home. 497 00:36:01,510 --> 00:36:05,620 Takeru-san who killed Manami-san... 498 00:36:08,210 --> 00:36:10,970 ...was in turned killed by Nishino-san. 499 00:36:30,410 --> 00:36:34,580 "Manami? Manami!" 500 00:36:36,350 --> 00:36:42,590 "Manami? Manami? Manami! Manami! Manami!" 501 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,150 "It was her fault." 502 00:36:53,150 --> 00:36:57,230 "She said it was my fault that she was bullied and told me to never come back." 503 00:36:57,230 --> 00:36:58,860 "She was just so annoying." 504 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:05,110 "You killed her for that?
