Matarai-kun, how's that Bluebeard case coming along?

I'm checking on it now.

Saneie, could you pass me that cannon ball?

I'm busy right now.

It'd only take you a second!

Kiriyama-kun, you got a cold?

Well... it looks that way.

At a glance,

you're working hard

regardless of your cold,

but I know you're just looking for another case.

Busted.

Did you find a good one?

None of them really pop out at me.

I see...

Then maybe I should pop one out for you.

Yeah, we should.

I think so, too.

You'll help me?

What are you guys doing?

Everyone's helping me out with my hobby.

Kiriyama must be the luckiest guy on earth.

You flatter me too much!

Ouch!

Maybe I could help out, too!

Is that okay?

Sure thing!

You're like a nimble flying fish.

Oh... is that so?

[Sherbet Arson Murder Case]

What about this?

I'm not sure about that one.

[The Mozart Murder Case]

How about this?

Surely, Savier had to have done it.

You mean Salieri...

Ah~!

I found the perfect one!

Oh?

Wanna see? Wanna see? Here.

Oh, this is a good one!

That would be perfect!

"The Case of the Mysterious Death of Takashi Hongou"?

What's so great about that?

What?!

You don't know?!

Huh? No.

Kiriyama, 15 years ago you would've been in junior high, right?

Yes.

How can you not know about this case then?!

Uh...I'm not sure.

Just let it go.

Everyone leads a different way of life.

All right!

Listen up!

As your elder, I shall take it upon myself to educate you.

Yes, please!

The case's formal name was...

"The Mysterious Death of Takashi Hongou."

However, at that time, not a single person called it that.

Every citizen knew it by a different name...

"The Killer Kiss."

"The Killer Kiss"?

Strangely,

he died immediately after kissing.

On top of that, Takashi Hongou was an extremely popular singer at the time.

It was bound to make a commotion.

~Being born as a man~

He would sing of life as a man to bear his soul.

All of his songs were done solo.

He captured the hearts of all generations,

and influenced a large portion of the population.

Ugh~

I gotta take a piss.

Well, it's no wonder staking out like that!

Hachi-san...

A real man needs the cold.

I'm talkin' about those geta! (geta = old-fashion Japanese sandals)

Today's the anniversary of the day a certain special person died.

You mean Takashi Hongou?

How'd you know?

I was such a big fan!

I broke 3 guitars trying to be like him!

Really?

Takashi Hongou really taught me what it means to be a man.

His dying words were "Osu!" (Osu = informal greeting used mostly by men)

He's become a legend as being a true man to the very end.

Is that so...

Osu!

Osu~

Osu!

Osu.

Having that said,

allow me to tell you all about the case.

I'd like to tell you all about how Takashi Hongou influenced my life,

but before I can...

He investigates cases which have reached the statute of limitations as his hobby,

Shuuichirou Kiriyama.

Jikou Keisatsu Episode 5

Kill with a kiss!

The killer kiss

may have been sweet.

Now, on to the show!

Omitting the part of how much Sergeant Kumamoto was influenced,

the case occurred 15 years ago on February 14th.

Hongou gathered some new talent that night,

and played the "Ousama" game in a hotel suite. (A game where the "Ousama"/King gets to tell others what to do)

"Ousama" says No. 4 and No. 6 have to French kiss for 20 seconds!

You gotta think big.

Make it 3 minutes.

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Oh, they're really goin' for it!

O

O.

O..

O...

O...su

Based on the circumstances, the police determined his cause of death to be poison.

They continued the investigation due to the high probability of murder.

They shook down the 6 suspects who were with him at the time,

placing special attention on Rina Natsukawa, the one who kissed him.

However, during the autopsy, no poison was found in his body.

So they decided to check on those with the biggest motives.

Among them, Yukie Hongou was especially suspicious.

Before she married Hongou, Yukie was a medical student.

Her sudden marriage to the music superstar was a huge surprise.

However, even while married, Hongou was seen with other women,

and news of affairs were all over the tabloids.

The police found out that the date of his death, February 14th, was their wedding anniversary,

and thought that his wife, Yukie, may have killed him

for his riches after no longer being able to stand his affairs.

They thought that with her medical knowledge

she may have been able to poison him.

But since they could find no evidence,

they questioned Hongou's friend who knew about their marriage,

Masayoshi Oikawa, who said that they hadn't seen each other in over 10 days.

From his testimony,

the police gave up on Yukie with her perfect alibi.

With the method of murder of Takashi Hongou still unknown,

the case went unsolved.

That's how the case goes.

I know!

Everybody knows about that!

Look!

Hongou-san...

So?

You're gonna do this one, right?

The case of the killer kiss.

Uh huh...

Don't you think it's amazing that someone died from a kiss?

I bet the criminal...

is like a pansofarent.

What the heck is that?

But, you know...

What?

"The case of the killer kiss"...

Couldn't they think up something better?

Like what?

"The Poison Pucker" or something.

Try again.

License to kiss. (License to kill)

- Kiss the bucket. (Kick the bucket) - Next.

- Tulip (Two lip) Murder. - Next.

- Cir-kiss... of Chinese acrobats. - Next.

- Smooch du jour. (Soup du jour) - Next.

Cream shi-chuu (Cream stew). (shi = death, chuu = kiss)

How about "Killer Chuu-n"? (Killer Tune)

Nah... "The killer kiss" is fine.

Kiri...?

Kiriyama-san, do you have a cold?

Just a little.

I see...

You've got a cold.

Uh huh.

Did you notice any lumps?

Not really.

I can carry it.

You with the cold and all...

Ahh!

So heavy!

This is too heavy!

Hey!

Could you get one side of this?

Hey!

Excuse us.

I'm the one who contacted you yesterday, Soobu Pol...

There's no need for an introduction.

Have a seat.

Oh, okay.

Well then, these are the personal items we took for the case.

Please feel free to check them.

Oh... uh..

Sorry.

Yeah.

They seem to be in order.

Thanks.

Our work is done, but

I have a personal favor to ask.

What's that?

Well,

actually as my hobby,

I search for the criminals of old crimes.

I'm sorry?

I was wondering if I could I have your cooperation in my investigation.

Hmm...

My name is Shuuichirou Kiriyama.

Kiriyama-san...

I want to forget about my husband.

There was all that talk and doubt surrounding me in this case.

When I started working here, I was even called "Dr. Poison."

I'm sick and tired of this business.

You're absolutely right! Forgive us for our selfishness.

Well... I guess it's okay.

It's okay?!

If you keep it short.

Thank you very much! I'll get straight to my questions.

I heard that the day he died was your wedding anniversary.

How did you spend that day?

I made dinner and waited for him.

At that time he had so many affairs going on.

He hardly even showed his face at home.

But I thought he would at least show up for our anniversary, so I spent time making a special dinner all day long.

It was all finished at about 7:00 that night.

After that I just sat and waited.

Then at about 10:00 p.m...

Thinking it was Hongou, I opened the door,

but it was his friend Oikawa.

He just came for my husband's change of clothes as he always did.

What did you do with the dinner?

I waited until 12:00 and then threw it out.

I see.

Forgive me if this is too personal, but

about how many times did you kiss your husband per month?

Well, when we were still close I think we did it regularly,

about the same as any other couple.

She can't be the criminal.

Why's that?

Women stare straight into your eyes when they lie.

But Yukie-san was glancing all around.

I waited until 12:00 and then threw it out.

If she were the criminal, she would lie, don't you think?

By the way, men's eyes, on the other hand, get shifty when they lie!

Mikazuki-kun, your deduction is brilliant as always!

Liar!

Don't cry over spilled milk!

You're men, right?!

Osu!

Don't sweat the details!

Osu!

Hey, Yoshida. We're gonna drink tonight!

Osu!

We'll have a blast!

Osu!

Go ahead, ask me anything!

Even if it is just a hobby, for someone who's looking for Hongou's murderer, I'll do all I can.

THANK YOU!

Nice.

Very masculine.

I thank you!

THANK YOU!

TO GET TO THE POINT,

I THINK YOU KNEW THE MOST ABOUT HONGOU'S SCHEDULE!

FOR STARTERS, PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE DAY OF HIS DEATH!

GUTS!

Very nice.

On that day,

we finished recording at about 9:00 p.m.

Osu!

Osu.

Then we drove to his place.

I got his change of clothes,

uh... and then at about 11:00 p.m.,

I dropped him off at the hotel where it all happened.

That was the last time I saw him.

Did you notice anything strange about Yukie-san on that day?

Her face looked like she was extremely pissed.

Sorry about this but,

it seems as though the recording is going to last longer than expected again,

so I came to pick up his clothes.

Not until you eat all this.

Eat it!

You ate it?

Of course I did. It's the principle of the thing.

I felt bad making Hongou wait, though.

Really? Yukie-san said she threw it out.

I'd like to show you something.

Hey!

Osu!

Don't waste food. T. Hongo

Do you understand now why I had to do it?

Ye... Yes.

By the way, Oikawa-san,

what is your job now?

Oh... we deal in towels and geta.

Ever since Hongou passed away, we've been selling the "Hongou towel and geta memorial set".

It's been a huge hit,

and now it's our main business.

Is that one of the towels?

Yeah.

Can I see it?

Sure.

Oh...

Wait a sec...

This is a little larger than a regular towel.

You noticed!

You know what?

These are specially made.

Can I have it for a sec?

You raise your foot,

swing the towel, and throw it over your shoulder.

This is the "Hongou style".

It can be a scarf, too.

It's even got a message written on it.

We've got lots of messages. Wanna see?

Oh, no. I don't need to.

How about something like this?

"14 Real Men." (Otoko Juu-yon Hiki)

There's a touching story behind this.

Hongou-san was like

trying to write "Otoko Ippiki" (A Real Man).

But he wrote "4" instead of "hiki" by adding an extra stroke. (the kanji are only one stroke different.)

I really didn't know what to do, but...

"THAT'S IT!" I thought. We should just make it "14 Real Men"!

See?

Pretty touching, huh?

Oh, yeah...

Oh, I just remembered!

Takeda!

We also got these.

Here they are.

We call them "Fight Geta".

How about these with the towel as a set?

No, I'm really more of a pacifist.

Oh, really?

I really think a "14 Real Men" towel and Fight Geta

would look good on you.

Yukie-san and Oikawa-san said things which contradict one another.

She says she threw it out; He says he ate it.

How did she manage to poison him?

Huh?

We're still working on that.

What are you so mad about?

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Wha... What is that?

Kiriyama-kun, I'll show you as your reward for asking.

A box full of Takashi Hongou stuff!

Oh, thank you!

Take a look at these. They're autographed!

Oh, some "Fight Geta", huh?

Mikazuki-kun, you know your stuff!

I suppose.

Look at this!

It's a towel with his message!

Kiriyama-kun, you wanna buy it as a set with the geta?

No, thanks.

I think it would look great on you!

Oh, no, no.

I still have much more!

Yeah, this one!

Old tabloid clippings of his affairs!

Oh! This is valuable stuff!

A video of when he was married!

Yes, this should be good!

Kiriyama-kun, you're such a lucky guy!

Oh?

Kiriyama~!

Don't sweat the details!

Yo! It's Takashi Hongou.

Hey, hot hunk! Check out those pecs!

You like these?

Your nose is running.

Huh?!

Juumonji-kun...

Sorry to bother you,

Hachitsuka Hachio-senpai.

That's not my real name.

That's a real man!

He could probably blow out a candle with that.

What's going on with that case of yours?

The Chocolate Ball...

Serial Beating Case?

Fighting over tiny little chocolate balls?

They ain't "tiny"!

The person randomly attacks people and flees the scene, right?

That's right.

At the scene of the crime there are always chocolate balls scattered all over the ground.

That's the real mystery.

Maybe they wanted the toy?

What toy?

Oh... I mean...

Maybe the criminal wants the toy that comes in the chocolate ball box.

I don't think so. The chocolate balls have to be some sort of dying message!

But no one died.

Don't sweat the details!

This case probably has some dark secret.

Shuuichirou Kiriyama...

I mean, Kiriyama...

I'm not bound to the rules of The Man.

Don't cramp my style.

Just some advice from one man to another.

You gotta think big!

Osu!

Oh, hello!

Your chart says "Ameyama-san". ("Ame" in kanji looks somewhat similar to "Kiri")

Really?

Maybe they were just being lazy.

So what are you here for today?

I suddenly thought of something to ask you.

But since it's hard to fit it into your schedule,

I came now.

Then, please take off your shirt.

Huh?

Ah... The other day you said that

since it was your wedding anniversary

you made dinner and waited for Hongou-san.

But Hongou-san didn't come back, so you threw it out, right?

And?

When I asked his old friend Oikawa-san,

he said you made him eat it all.

Why would he say that?

Kiriyama-san...

Yes?

Be honest with me.

Do you think I lied?

Huh?

Me think that...?

you lied?

Why?

Men get shifty eyes when they lie.

Really?

When Hongou died, I wasn't anywhere near the hotel.

How could I have killed him?

If there were a way, I'd like to hear it.

You want us to kiss?

Please, for the picture!

The problem is what and how...

Oooh!

Can someone die from a kiss?

If it were a murder.

In the past there was a case where someone passed a poison capsule into another's mouth.

But no poison was ever found.

Ah, I got something I wanna show you.

["Someone Else's" Chinese Food]

What do you think?

The name is definitely out there.

But the owner is such a nice guy, and the food is great.

Did you ask why he named it this?

I was afraid what his answer would be

and kind of chickened out.

We found the place of Rina Natsukawa,

the one who kissed Takashi Hongou immediately before his death.

Woah, watch out!

Isn't this it?

Huh? In a place like this?

[Rina Natsukawa] [The Killer Kiss Show]

Yes, thank you.

Thank you very much!

Finally it's time for Rina Natsukawa's Killer Kiss Show!

Let's give her a round of applause!

Hola mi amigos!

It's me, Rina Natsukawa!

EH?!

Ousama Game!

Is there someone here brave enough to try my kiss?

You, come over here.

I said get over here!

No need to hesitate!

I look different, don't I?

Women change from a hard life.

Ask me anything you like.

Okay, I have a few questions.

On the day of Hongou's death, did you notice something out of place?

Oh yeah. I told the police at that time, too.

Hongou-san seemed like he had a cold.

He kept sniffling and coughing.

I really didn't want to catch anything.

That day you were the only one who kissed him?

That's right.

Why don't you...

try a kiss with me?

Uh...eh...

I'm good at it.

My only problem is I can't kiss myself.

When Rina-san chews gum, her jaw muscles tighten up and her face returns to its younger shape for 10 seconds.

This is hard!

The gum keeps sticking.

It's hard for me even though I'm so good at kissing.

Don't give up!

Okay.

Oh, wow!

How lucky!

You must've had something good happen to you!

Eh? Really?

I bet she did!

Pretty cute, huh? I found her on the hood of my car.

Huh? What's wrong?

What's wrong with you?

Stay away! Stay away!

I can't stand it!

I'm allergic to cats!

Ah...

Hongou-san seemed like he had a cold.

He kept sniffling and coughing.

That's it!

What's that?

This is the reason.

An allergy.

Huh?

It can be harmful for one without affecting others.

Oh~

Wait right there!

I knew you were amazing!

Kiriyama, you certainly are the clever one.

I was just thinking the same thing.

But you're slightly off.

The technical term is...

anaphylactic shock!

Huh?

Shinoya Maximum Chop?

A-na-phy-lac-tic Shock!

What's that?

Simply put, it's a severe allergic reaction.

For example, due to a food allergen.

If you take a food allergy lightly,

you'd be in big trouble.

At its worst, it can mean death.

If it were a relatively unknown food allergy 15 years ago,

they might have missed it on the autopsy.

Hey! You wouldn't happen to have an allergy, would you?

Oh, no.

It seems I just caught a common cold.

They can be hard to sort out, so watch yourself!

Take care.

Thank you.

Hello.

You again?

Actually, it seems as though I caught a cold.

Uh... I wanted to know if Hongou-san...

You can put them down now.

Did Hongou-san have any kind of food allergy?

Hmm, I'm not sure.

Soba, eggs, cats--there are lots of kinds of allergies, don't you think?

Yeah.

But as far as I know, he didn't have one.

Oh, I see.

Thanks.

Anything else?

No,

that's it.

Then open your mouth, please.

Huh?

As part of the examination.

Oh...

Ah~

What?

It's a cold.

I already knew that!

I'll give you a shot.

A shot?

You don't have any allergies, do you?

No.

Sometimes they go unnoticed.

Kiriyama...

Get to work!

Hmm... It's just so odd.

Hu..Huh?

What's that?

The girls are all so different.

You think so?

They don't look so different to me.

By the way, these pictures were always in the same tabloid. Right?

Yeah, now that you mention it.

I looked forward to that every week.

The scoops on Hongou?

Yeah.

About that...

Since the case is already over with...

I guess I could tell you.

Tell me what?

Our tabloid always getting the scoop on that huge star...

pretty weird, huh?

Well, kind of weird, yes.

Actually, we had...

A LEAD!

We always got a phone call from an anonymous caller.

Whenever we went to the place at the time he told us about,

we always ended up getting the scoop on Hongou.

Did you have a hunch who the caller was?

Nope.

He was so different.

The people who usually give us leads

are mostly annoyingly sticky like laundry in June,

but that guy

was like a refreshing morning in May, giving us a soothing lead.

Well, I guess that's about all I remember!

Sorry for not being much help!

Not at all!

Repetition is important!

Oh yeah!

There was a strange rumor going around.

What rumor?

Karapii (rice cracker and peanut snack) would always show up on the doorstep of the girls in his affairs.

Karapii?

You know, the one with peanuts and spicy senbei (rice crackers).

Peanut allergy.

In America, around 100 people die yearly from adverse reactions.

Hmm...

But how?

You got caught in an unexpected place, didn't you, Kiriyama-kun!

What the heck is that?

One of the toys in the chocolate ball boxes for the case Juumonji has been working on.

They're so cute I had to have one!

It's a police woman figurine. Everyone here is into them.

Take a look around!

They have a figurine for each position.

From the police chief to the meter maids.

Too focused on the toys...

What?

The kiss was the toy of this case.

I don't understand at all.

I'm saying that Hongou wasn't killed by the kiss from the Ousama game.

Then...

who?

Two are suspicious.

You mean the physician Yukie who's cold like the moon in February

or Oikawa who's refreshing like a morning in May?

Huh?

Just a thought.

Yes?

Oh, hello again.

You know...

You're being quite a nuisance by coming to my private residence.

Yeah, I thought so too.

So I brought a gift...

to make up for being so troublesome.

[Tokyo's Famous Karapii]

It's for you.

Thanks for the great gift.

Oh, it's nothing special.

May we come in?

Sure.

Come on in.

How cute!

Wait a sec.

Weren't you allergic to cats?

Yeah, so what?

These are dogs, not cats.

Ah~

Tonchinkan (Freak)!

Uh... were you talking to me?

Oh, no.

It's their names.

Tonkichi, Chinpei, Kanta.

You three, wait over there!

So what did you want to know today?

I was wondering why you married Hongou-san.

We fell in love like a normal couple would.

What was it that you liked about him?

Let's see...

I guess his refreshingly masculine side.

Like a morning in May?

I don't like such cheesy cliches.

You're rather unemotional.

Dresses with frills and ribbons,

stuffed bears,

girls who always look so cute...

I've always hated those things.

That's why I was always somewhat boyish.

But 15 years ago,

a frilly dress surely would've looked good on you.

I suppose.

That's why all the guys who hit on me were total pedophiles. It made me sick.

One shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I guess.

That's right.

You shouldn't judge based on one's appearance.

You mean...

A pretty girl isn't necessarily girly.

I see.

But Hongou understood who I really was.

It must've been a blow when he died.

Yeah, but I soon got over it.

I hate mulling over things which can't be changed.

Unemotional to the end, isn't she?

Um...

If you're so hungry, would you please leave?

Ah~ What a bitch!

Hey!

Why don't you say anything?

Huh?

What is it? All of a sudden,

What are you doing?

You smell.

Huh?

You smell like dog piss.

You're kidding, right?

Well, you were playing with those dogs, weren't you?

I guess so, but it's not like I licked the dog's butt!

I got it!

You listening?

You were licked by one of the dogs: Ton, Chin, or Kan.

For now, let's suppose that Tonkichi licked you.

But maybe before we showed up, Tonkichi licked Chinpei's rear end.

Dogs confirm each other's identity by sniffing butts.

So Chinpei's urine reached your face by way of Tonkichi's tongue.

That's why you smell!

I can't take any more of this.

The kiss was the key after all!

The kiss?

Huh?

Hey! Where are you going?

The place where a May morning runs into the February moon!

Kanta wanted a role, too.

Right Kanta?

Bark, bark!

You got a cold, sergeant?

Is it a cold?

Juumonji-san had a runny nose

and Kiriyama-san had a cough.

Maybe you caught it from them.

Tonight I better open some canned food.

You eat canned food for a cold?

When I was little and I caught a cold, my mom

would always give me some canned food.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

In my family when someone got a cold,

they were stripped naked and sent out to the beach.

You'd die if you did that!

In my family, we would put a broom in front of the bathroom.

Did that help your cold?

Not a bit.

Did you figure out something new?

Thanks to Mikazuki-kun,

I figured out almost everything,

but a few details still remain.

That's great.

By the way, how's that cold of yours?

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about it with the case and all.

Now that you mention it, I still feel a little sick.

You should take it slow when you're sick. You know, eat some canned food or something.

Now I feel a fever coming on.

Can I go home early?

Well, there's nothing we can do about a cold.

Sure, go ahead.

Thanks, I'll be going then.

He'll be opening canned food tonight.

Nope, he's gotta put a broom in his bathroom.

What are you talking about?

When someone gets a cold,

it means they want someone at their side.

That's what we're talking about.

Uh... can I go home early, too?

You're not even in our department.

Do you think you have to ask me?

She already left, you know.

Oh...

Oh, Oikawa-san...

I wanted to ask you something about Hongou-san.

Ask anything you like.

He kissed Rina Natsukawa right before he died, right?

Could he have kissed anyone else before that?

What do you mean?

Hello?

Kiriyama-san...

Sorry about that.

It seems I caught a cold.

A cold?

I'll meet you there then.

I'd like to talk more about this.

Oh, you don't have to...

Are you sure? It's pretty late.

"When someone has a cold, you run to their aid"

was a saying in my family.

Oh, I see. Well, thanks then.

I'll be waiting for you.

Hee hee!

For my little boy with a cold,

I'll deliver this hot oden. (oden = dish with boiled foods)

The distance between the two...

will become close to nothing!

Wow!

Sorry for the trouble!

Don't sweat it.

I may not look it, but I'm pretty handy around the house.

Here, drink it down.

Thank you.

Itadakimasu.

Woah, this is good stuff!

Yeah,

this has to be the best tamagozake I've ever had! (tamagozake = boiled wine and egg, usually for colds)

Please don't make fun of me.

When you say it like that, I might actually believe it.

No, no. I'm not. It's really good!

By the way, Oikawa-san...

Did you know if Hongou had a peanut allergy?

No, not at all.

But now that you mention it, he always threw away the karapii he got from his fans.

What a waste.

Did you ever eat them?

I hated everything Hongou-san did.

So I would never eat them.

The night Hongou-san died,

do you remember the food Yukie-san forced you to eat?

Hmm... let me think...

It was all rather fancy.

Oh, yeah!

It all seemed quite oily.

Did it smell like this?

[Peanut oil]

I'm not sure.

Not sure, huh?

Could you just try some from my finger then?

You don't mind?

Go ahead. You might remember if you taste it.

Okay.

Ah...

It does seem to have the same flavor as her cooking did.

You've got a good memory!

Kiriyama-san...

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You have to keep your body warmer.

You're right.

Sorry but I gotta do this.

It's okay.

I'm just trying to warm you up.

Uh...what are you...

It's okay!

Don't worry, just relax!

Ki~ritan! (cutesy nickname for Kiriyama) I got a special delivery!

Huh?

Huh??

Huh?!

Huh??

No way!

Uh~~

It's not what you think!

[The next day]

I've called you here to explain the result of my investigation.

Just to let you know,

what I will tell you is simply part of my hobby.

The case is already over with;

so no matter who the real culprit may be, I can do nothing about it.

The one who did it...

is among us.

Huh?

Of course, Mikazuki-kun and I are excluded.

That should go without saying.

Did you do it, Yukie-san?

Why would I do such a thing?

In order for the truth to come out,

a confession made in good will is necessary.

Good will?

Yes.

Will you?

Will you confess?

It appears you won't.

Well then, I will explain my own deduction.

Yukie-san...

on the night of the crime,

you forced Oikawa-san here to eat the food you made.

In that food, you used peanut oil liberally.

Pea...nut...oil?

Hongou-san was allergic to peanuts.

Without knowing so,

Oikawa-san who had consumed large quantities of peanut oil

returned to meet Hongou-san

along with his oily lips.

Osu.

And then when dropping him off in the hotel,

I'm going now.

Okay.

Oh you!

I don't need to explain this any farther, now do I.

Huh?

So you mean that I...

You mean my lips... killed him?

No, no... You were simply the middleman.

You know, like in spring

bees looking for honey

fly from flower to flower in their search.

At that time the honeybees

unknowingly carry pollen from one flower to the next, thus pollinating the flowers.

It's all a part of nature.

Aniki. (nickname for Hongou. "Big brother")

Aniki!!

Woah, woah! Slow down there!

What are you...?!

Aniki!

It was you, wasn't it? Yukie-san.

15 years ago,

I was a little girl who knew nothing of the world.

My parents were doctors, so we were well off,

but we also had little time to spend together.

In order for them to express their affection towards me,

they dressed me up as if I were a doll.

But no matter how much they were around me like that,

I always felt all alone.

That's why I always hated cutesy clothes.

That's how I became like this,

allergic to cute things.

Allergic to cute things?

When I see something cute, my whole body starts itching.

I met Hongou at the hospital where I was a resident.

He also had problems with his peanut allergy, which was a relatively unknown allergy at that time.

At that time I already knew about the rumors of his flings,

but since we both had problems which only we understood,

I thought we would get along well.

But his cheating never stopped,

and every time there was a new scoop on his love affairs,

I would send karapii to his lover to punish him.

If he kissed a girl who ate the karapii,

I thought he would suffer because of his allergy.

But he didn't.

That's when I thought something wasn't right.

I thought that maybe he had an even bigger problem.

Aniki!!

That's when I saw something really strange.

Hello? Yeah, tomorrow night...

Takashi Hongou is going to be at...

Hongou was the one giving the leads to the tabloids.

On top of that...

I couldn't believe my eyes.

In any case,

I thought he'd at least show up for our wedding anniversary.

Having faith in that, I waited.

But then who should dare to show his face but his lover, Oikawa.

Something inside me snapped,

and I decided to put peanut oil in the food.

I didn't think such a thing would happen.

O

O.

O..

O...

O...su

It didn't matter to me

if who he fell in love with was a man or a woman.

It was just painful for me not to be loved.

Being betrayed even on our wedding anniversary...

I'm the one...

who killed Hongou.

Thank you.

I feel relieved.

Please get one of those.

What's that?

It's my "I won't tell anybody" card.

My only desire

is to know the truth.

Once I know, I move on.

What has been said here today,

I promise not to tell anybody.

Here.

[Yukie Hongou: I won't tell anybody about this case. Shuuichirou Kiriyama]

But still,

there's one thing I don't get.

What's that?

Well,

I don't understand Hongou's last words.

If I remember right...

they were "Osu!"...

The reason is right in front of your eyes.

Aniki!

Surely you don't mean...

Hongou's last words...

weren't "Osu",

but "Oikawa suki datta yo". (I loved Oikawa)

Oikawa suki datta yo...

Oi..suki... O...su...

O...su... Osu?!

Doesn't that seem a little unlikely?

Aniki!

He betrayed me to the very end.

I hope the season of honeybees comes soon.

You're making me sick!

That's going a bit too far, Matarai-kun!

Kiriyama!

Ah, Juumonji-kun.

You look so cool in that trenchcoat, don't you.

I bet he feels more comfortable that way.

Hi guys.

Kiriyama, would you like to know the truth behind the chocolate ball case?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The criminal was after...

these!

Ah! The police chief!

This is last one I need!

Are you trying to steal my happiness?!

That's when it came to me.

The criminal wasn't after the chocolate balls.

He was after the toy!

Wait a sec...

Oh... I see.

The important thing is

to not be fooled by appearances.

I see what you mean.

Your teachings always bring tears of joy!

You think so, too?

My time as a Hongou impersonator is now over.

From here on out, I'll return to my former self.

My one of a kind, uninfluenced, unique self.

Hachi-san, let's get going.

Okay.

Ah!

Kiriyama!

I've got a little secret for you.

Crimes don't happen in the boardroom! (Famous quote ripped from Odoru Daisousasen)

See ya!

Birdbrain...

Next time on Jikou Keisatsu...

The next case will reach the statute on Valentine's Day. Whether it goes unsolved is up to you!
