4 真犯人が天杉 優作であることは、美しきスイリが我にささやく真実。

7a. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 1
Episode 1 - The Reversal of Memories. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 1.
The scene opens on a rainy night. You see a body laying face down on the
ground with someone else looking over. He is wondering what he just did. A
flashback occurs that shows a man with an umbrella telling you not to see this
woman ever again. It is for your own good. Something bad will happen to you
if you don't listen to him. He is about to tell you something, but you don't
believe him. The next thing you know, the guy you were talking to is dead.
This episode takes place 5 years back. It is the second time the lawyer
Chihiro Ayasato appeared in court.
April 11. Chihiro is a little nervous. You play the role of Chihiro in this
episode. Your boss, Hoshikage tells you to calm down. He is here to she how
well you do in your first time out. You tell him it is your second time.
Hoshikage is surprised you wanted this case only since last night. Your
client is Ryuuichi Naruhodou, at the time he was 21 years old. At this time,
he is a third year Art Student at Yuumei University. He also has a cold, so
he is wearing a mask to cover his mouth. His coughing can get a little
annoying. Naruhodou is the suspect is the murder of Kikuzou Nonda. Kikuzou
is a fourth year pharmaceutical student at the same school as Naruhodou. This
is the story of Chihiro Ayasato, the rookie lawyer. The first time she stood
in court was a year ago. That trial caused enough damage for her to dread
coming back to court. Today, she will try once again, this time to win.
10:00 AM, Courtroom # 2. The trial of Ryuuichi Naruhodou is now in session.
Both sides are ready. The judge asks you that the original lawyer assigned to
this case was Hoshikage. You say Hoshikage had urgent business to attend to,
even though he is sitting right beside you. The judge worries that if you
are all right. The judge asks Prosecutor Auchi to present his opening
argument. Auchi says the crime happened at the campus of Yuumei University.
The victim was Kikuzou Nonda. Auchi then presents a photograph of the crime
scene. The picture shows Kikuzou laying face down on the ground, with a
broken umbrella beside him, and a cut power line overhead. A student found
the body, and reported it.
The suspect was seen running away from the crime scene. After taking the
picture as evidence, the judge asks, what was the cause of death? Auchi says
the victim died in an unusual way. He asks you to answer to the judge what
killed the victim. It should be an easy question to answer if you look in
the evidence file. Look for the file named Autopsy Record of Kikuzou Nonda.
It says the cause of death was electric shock. Then the prosecution brings up
another important point, the motive for the murder. There was trouble between
the victim and the suspect. Auchi says if you are a lawyer, the you should
know what the trouble was. The judge asks you to show the proof. Remember
that you can show a person's profile as evidence too.
Show him the profile of the person named Chinami Miyanagi. Auchi says, good.
This Chinami is the lover of the accused one, Ryuuichi Naruhodou, but a half
year ago, Chinami was also seeing the victim. This case must have something
to do with her. Hoshikage mentions that's Auchi style, to create an
impression to the judge before hearing the testimony. For the prosecution's
first witness, Auchi calls Ryuuichi Naruhodou to the stand. The judge asks
you if that is all right. You think to yourself, it is fine, since you
believe Naruhodou is innocent. You say, no objections. Auchi asks for name
and occupation. Ryuuichi Naruhodou is the name. Occupation is suspect.
Before the arrest, a student.
The judge orders him to testify about the connection between him and the
victim. In the testimony, Naruhodou says he was there, but he didn't kill.
He just found the victim's corpse. He didn't know the victim that well and
he never talked to that wearer of the Great Britain. The judge understands,
but Hoshikage points out that it is not that simple. Auchi says you are
forgetting one thing. You must cross examine the statement made by the
witness. The key is to look for any contradictions between the statement and
the evidence. However, Naruhodou is your client. Even so you still must do
your duty. You just hope the witness isn't lying.
In the cross exam, at the part where he talks about the victim and the
Great Britain, probe deeper to ask how he knows that if he didn't know the
victim so well. The judge tells the witness to add to his testimony, the
reason he knows. Naruhodou says, there was a huge Union Jack on the back of
the victim's shirt. Now show him the crime scene photo as evidence. There is
nothing written on the victim's back! Naruhodou explains that's a leather
jacket the victim is wearing. The Union Jack symbol is on the shirt. You
mention that if the witness just passed by the scene, then the witness would
not know what the victim was wearing underneath the jacket. The witness cries
and says he is sorry.
Auchi says you just proved the defendant didn't just pass by the crime scene.
Auchi asks why doesn't the witness take any medicine for his cold. Naruhodou
says he does, and the prosecution wonders if this 'Kazegoroshi Z' product is
the one he is taking. The answer is yes, Auchi wonders if the defendant
still has this medicine. The answer is that he dropped it somewhere. Auchi
asks if he knows where that bottle is. Then Auchi shows the judge another
picture of the crime scene. The second picture shows the victim gripping the
bottle with his left hand. The victim is also wearing a watch, the kind with
a hour and minute hand. You object, saying that medicine is common. Auchi
responds with, this bottle has the fingerprints of the accused, Ryuuichi
Naruhodou.
Auchi then says it's likely that Kikuzou sensed the murderous intent of the
defendant, so he grabbed the bottle and hid it in his hand. This was to be
used to accuse the real killer, Naruhodou. The judge pounds his hammer to
restore order in the court. The prosecution enters the new picture and bottle
as evidence. Auchi says the victim's watch was broken. The watch stopped
after the strong electrical shock. Now the defendant must explain. You hope
the witness won't throw out any more lies. In the testimony, Naruhodou says,
the victim wanted to meet him. The victim was a pharmacist after all. We met
in the backyard of the school building at around 2:45 PM. We talked, then at
around 3 PM, we broke off. When the witness returned, the victim was down on
the ground. Naruhodou drank the Kazegoroshi Z medicine for the last 2 to 3
days, but on the day of the murder, that bottle was missing after lunch.
In the cross exam, probe at the part where he says they met at 2:45 PM, You
wonder if that's the time Kikuzou proposed to meet. Naruhodou says yes. The
judge asks to explain the victim's role as a pharmacist. The witness explains
how they mix chemicals and such as experiments. They are the alchemists of
Yuumei University. The laboratory has some strange stuff in it like machines
that produce high voltage currents. Ask him more about the Pharmacy
Department. The witness doesn't know much, except the fact that high voltage
current uses voltage higher than the standard. It uses it's own machine.
There is an electrical pole planted in the school yard. The wire runs
overhead.
You think to yourself, you are starting to see where this is going. Now probe
at the part where he says the bottle was missing the day of the murder. He
says he ate lunch with Chii-chan, like always. The judge pounds the hammer
down and says that's enough to the crowd. The defendant and victim met near
the time of death, and the defendant returned to the crime scene. Auchi
couldn't explain the bottle, but the judge won't believe the defendant's
testimony. There is one problem still remaining. The method of murder. The
murder weapon hasn't been presented yet. You think to yourself, how did the
victim die? If you can prove this, you can escape this crisis. You will
attempt to do this by showing the Crime Scene Photo # 1.
The judge says he can't see anything that resembles a murder weapon. Show the
judge by pointing to the dangling power line spark in the picture. Remember
the testimony how the lab uses high voltage wire? It is being carried over
special lines. It is natural to think this is the cause of the murder. Auchi
says, that may be true, but what does that mean? The one who could use that
power line is the defendant. The prosecution then says, he has one more piece
of evidence. It is the proof that shows Ryuuichi Naruhodou as the murderer.
It is the fingerprints. Look at the picture again. The victim is wearing a
leather jacket. There are fingerprints on the leather. On the chest area,
the palm of the defendant is clearly printed on there!
The only way that could happen is that the defendant pushed the victim into
the electrical wire. The judge says there is no doubt. Hoshikage says it is
over. Maybe it is time to give up. The defendant looks guilty. You believe
the defendant is innocent. There is no need for anymore debate. The judge is
about to hand down the verdict, but you tell him to wait. You ask Naruhodou
to tell the whole truth. He can't, but you tell him to trust me. No matter
what he says, you will believe him. Auchi objects, saying it is already
proven that the defendant is guilty. Naruhodou then agrees to tell what
really happened.
Naruhodou says he did push the victim. A flashback to the time the victim is
still alive. Kikuzou tells Naruhodou not to see her again. Naruhodou
disagrees. Kikuzou responds by saying, it's for your own good. Listen, that
woman... Before he could finish his sentence, Naruhodou pushes him down and
calls him a liar. Is that true? Asks the judge. The defendant says yes. It
doesn't matter since he is already is a suspect. Naruhodou begs for another
chance to give the truth in testimony. In the testimony, he says the victim
talked bad things about Chinami. Naruhodou shoved the victim to the ground.
He thought he heard a loud sound. After walking away, he got concerned. When
he returned to the scene, the victim was dead.
Auchi says it is simple. When pushed, the victim touched the electrical wire
and died of the shock. There was light rain at the murder scene. A wet
victim would conduct electricity well. Naruhodou says when he pushed the
victim, no electrical wire was dangling. Even he would notice something like
that. The judge says, if the testimony doesn't reveal anything new, he will
hand out the verdict. In the cross exam, when he talks about some loud sound,
probe deeper to find out what it was. It was pretty loud, something like...
Like the sound of being shocked. Auchi finishes that sentence for him. You
object. You ask for more detail. When the defendant pushed the victim,
Kikuzou's umbrella dropped. Kikuzou fell on top of the umbrella and broke it.
That's the sound he heard.
The judge asks if that statement is important. Of course it is. It is the
new information you were looking for. You ask that statement to be officially
added to the testimony. The judge does so. Now you have something to work
with. Auchi says it is fitting for a cheap lawyer to have cheap information.
In the revised testimony, at the point where he says the victim fell right on
the umbrella, show him the Crime Scene Photo # 1 again. You wonder why he
didn't mention this earlier. You could have used this to counter-attack much
earlier. Auchi asks you to explain. Look at the picture. See what conflicts
with the testimony? The victim is not on top of the umbrella. It is sitting
next to the electric pole. This means after the defendant left, the victim
was moved from the original place.
So, this means the victim wasn't dead when the defendant pushed him! After
settling the crown down, the judge asks the prosecution the whereabouts of the
umbrella in question. It was recovered, so it is now evidence. Auchi says
the wind could have blown the umbrella away. You object and say the body of
the victim was on top of the umbrella, so it's impossible for the wind to move
it. As long as there is doubt, the judge cannot make a ruling just yet. The
judge is surprised that a hole like that was found. You take Naruhodou's
testimony as written evidence. Auchi gives a laugh and says he knew the
defendant's testimony would not be enough. He has another witness prepared, a
substantial witness at that.
Her name is Chinami Miyanagi. She witnessed everything. Chinami was there at
the scene of the crime the moment the murder took place! You have been
waiting for this moment. The judge orders a 20 minute break. After that, you
shall hear the testimony of Chinami Miyanagi. Same day, 11:52 AM, Waiting
Room # 3. Naruhodou is sorry for what he did. The next witness is Chii-chan,
right? She will save me. Why do you say that? Naruhodou claims Chinami is
the person of fate. You want to know more. Naruhodou says about a half year
back, the two met in the courthouse. He was studying to be a lawyer and one
day he met Chinami in the underground reference room. He believes that was
fate. She gave him this heart-shaped pendant. It is the symbol of love.
That day Chinami had it dangling around her neck, but she wanted Naruhodou to
have it. This present also has a small bottle in the middle. Naruhodou was
so excited. He showed it off to everyone he met. You take this pendant as
evidence. However, Chinami did seem intent on getting that pendant back.
Strange, huh? You think for a moment, then check to see if the date the two
met was August 27 (8-27). Naruhodou was shocked that you knew that. On that
day, in this courthouse, something happened. It was a case that made the
newspaper. The article is titled, "The Murder Case in the Courtroom?". When
Hoshikage reads it, he understands why you took today's case out of urgency.
The case now and the case then are connected. It is something you want to
finish. Hoshikage admits it is not much to work with, so he will search the
Reference Room for more clues. Time's almost up. Court is about to start.
End of Part 1.
7b. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 2
Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 2. 12:13 PM, Courtroom # 2. When court resumes,
Auchi calls Chinami Miyanagi to the witness stand. In his long life, many
witnesses fooled the judge, so he never thought he could trust
anyone. This witness though, he feels he can believe in anything she says.
He tells the witness not to be afraid. If anyone says anything bad, he will
pound the hammer down. She introduces herself as Chinami Miyanagi, a third
year literature student at Yuumei University. Auchi and the judge are charmed
by this witness. Chinami tells them there is a mistake somewhere. Ryuu-chan
would not kill anyone. The judge orders her to testify what she saw the time
of the murder.
Chinami testifies that after her studies were over, she went to see Ryuu-chan.
In the backyard Ryuu-chan and Non-chan were talking. Suddenly Non-chan
wobbled, then fell. At that moment, Ryuu-chan noticed her. She went to
inform another student of what happened. Afterward, the judge says this means
the defendant didn't do anything. Objection! Auchi says he understands the
love between couples, but we are looking for the truth. You want to
cross examine the statement. Chinami says to you, nothing's changed. Auchi
wonders how you two now each other. You tell him we have met somewhere
before. So, at the point where Chinami says Non-chan wobbled then fell, probe
deeper to find ask if the victim fell by himself. Chinami says yes. You
confirm if the defendant didn't touch the victim. The witness insists that
Ryuu-chan did nothing.
You point out the contradiction by showing how the victim's jacket has the
fingerprints of the defendant. It has already been proven that Naruhodou
pushed the victim. You tell the witness, she doesn't need to cover for the
defendant anymore. Chinami revises her statement, and says she didn't see the
moment of the pushing. She didn't see any sign of struggle, and she didn't
hear any noise. Now show her the written testimony of Naruhodou as an
objection. Naruhodou heard a loud and dull sound. If she was nearby, then
she should have heard something. Auchi objects, and says it was a noise that
wouldn't remain in her memory. You argue back that the statement by the
defendant, the loud noise, would make her remember.
Chinami says, wait! There is a reason she didn't hear anything. She was
wearing headphones and listened to a song. Both ears were plugged and it was
raining. The thunder went wild that night, and the witness is not fond of
thunder. To prevent from hearing the noise, she put on the headphones. Auchi
then says this eliminates the contradiction in her statement. You think to
yourself, there is an important point here that can turn the tides in this
case. That day, thunder was crying. That is electrical energy. The cause of
death of the victim was electrical shock. The next thought is the victim
could have been struck by lightening! Even the judge hadn't thought of that.
The victim died by accident!
Auchi objects and says the prosecution side searched out the weather forecast
that day. At the time of the murder, there were no lightening strikes in the
area. Furthermore, the electrical line in the picture shows proof of having
something to do with the case. The proof is the testimony of the students
inside the chemistry laboratory. They say on that day, around 3 PM, all their
equipment lost power and completely stopped. That lab used high voltage
wires. They lost power due to the severed power line you see in the picture.
The time the machines stopped was 3 PM, the same time the victim was killed.
This means the victim was killed by the power line's electrical shock.
According to the students, that power line was getting pretty old. They
planned on repairing it sometime soon.
It wouldn't be surprising if a little shock caused the line to go down. You
take this information and put it in the evidence file. The judge says the
line was delicate, so if there were no shock, then the line would still be up.
The judge asks what you think the cause of the line going down was. You think
to yourself, the situation doesn't look good. There is only one chance for
retaliation. Show the judge the profile of Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Remember his
testimony? The loud sound around 3 PM. The machines stopped around 2:55 PM.
Naruhodou's shove caused the power line to go down. The prosecution agrees
and the shove resulted in the victim's death. You object and tell him, that's
not the case.
The place the victim was pushed, was the spot of the umbrella, which was near
the electrical pole. The victim crashed into that pole when pushed. The
resulting shock cut the power line. However, this wasn't planned. If the
victim crashed into the pole at far end, he wouldn't be shocked. This means
the one who shocked the victim was someone else other than the defendant.
What to you have to say, Auchi? Chinami interrupts and says what she saw was
different than what the lawyer side is suggesting. She wants another chance
to testify. The judge gives her the green light to go. So, it looks like the
real Chinami has appeared.
Chinami testifies that Ryuu-chan pushed the victim twice. The first time he
pushed the victim into the pole, knocking the power line down. Then as
Non-chan tried to escape, Ryuu-chan gave chase, and body rammed the victim
from behind. From the time the power line was cut down, to the time the
victim was shocked, no more than one minute passed. In the cross examination,
at the statement about no more than one minute passed, show her the evidence
marked, Crime Scene Photo # 2. Chinami says that medicine is Ryuu-chan's
favorite. You respond by saying, that's not the point. The important thing
is the wrist watch. This watch stopped when the victim was shocked. At
around 3:05 PM, that's the time of death.
Remember when the power line was cut? At 2:55 PM. Can the witness explain
the 10 minute blank period between the cut power line to the victim getting
killed? The defense believes there is someone else out there, the real
murderer. Auchi doesn't think so. You object and say, the 10 minutes of
blank space does exist. Then who else could have done it besides the
defendant? There is one who could have done it. After the defendant left
the victim, a chance existed for someone else to come in. The judge asks you,
who are you accusing? You will tell, but the judge warns you, if you accuse
someone not related to the case, he will hand out a penalty.
Show the judge the profile of Chinami Miyanagi. Auchi objects, but you
explain there was 10 minutes between the time the line was cut and the
victim getting shocked. Where was the witness during this time? If Chinami
didn't call for help, and was listening to songs on her headphones, then she
must have been rooting for one side! Order in the court, order in the court.
You say the witness saw the two fighting. After Naruhodou left the scene,
Chinami pushed the victim into the power line. Chinami still claims she
didn't do anything. Naruhodou says, wait! The defense will take back their
statement. You disagree. Naruhodou says Chii-chan wouldn't do something like
that. The judge warns him not to get out of the defendant's chair at free
will. Naruhodou has to be dragged off by court officials.
Then a voice tells you that you shouldn't be involved with people like that.
It is Hoshikage. He made it back in time. He has the information on the
Chinami Case from the newspaper. The materials are from police records.
Looking at the notes, the case happened in an underground cafeteria on 4 PM,
8-27. The victim was a lawyer named, Souryuu Kaminogi, 28. The suspect was
Chinami Miyanagi, 19. While searching a certain case, the lawyer Kaminogi
arranged a meeting with the suspect. While interviewing in the cafeteria,
he was poisoned. The poison was found inside the lawyer's coffee. The
poison was not found anywhere near the crime scene nor from anywhere near the
victim's body. The route the poison got to the cup was also unknown. This
case will come into play in the present time, so it's worth remembering.
Back to the trial, Chinami says she wouldn't pin the crime on Ryuu-chan.
Where's the motive? The answer hides within the police report. Naruhodou and
Chinami met the same day the murder in the courthouse occurred. There must be
some connection. So, you demand a testimony, one about the time the witness
met Ryuuichi. Auchi objects and says that's not relevant to the case at hand.
You object back and say the witness claims she had no reason to pin the crime
on the defendant. The defense has a right to dispute that claim. The judge
agrees. It is time to win or lose now. In the testimony, Chinami says she
met Ryuu-chan about a half year ago. The spot of destiny was the underground
reference room located in the courthouse. It was pretty much "Love at first
sight". They had been seeing each other ever since.
For the cross exam, at the point where she says it was the spot of destiny,
probe deeper to ask what a strange place to meet. Chinami says it is not
strange. Ryuu-chan is studying to be lawyer. You say it's not about the
defendant, but about the witness. What would a literature student be doing
in courthouse reference room? Auchi objects and says that's irrelevant to
this case, but you manage to get Chinami to add to her testimony. In the
revised statement, Chinami says she came to the courthouse to look for
materials on a report she was working on. Now on this statement, show her the
Police Report. Chinami wasn't there for the materials. She had more
important matters to attend to.
You explain that a half year ago, there was a murder case in this courtroom
as shown in this report. It is the one with the lawyer being poisoned. The
suspect in that case was Chinami Miyanagi. She was the main suspect in that
case. Auchi tries to speak, but Chinami interrupts him. Chinami explains,
in that case, the police did cast a look of suspicion on her. She wants to
testify she had nothing to do with that case. You think to yourself, you have
just connected the two cases together. Now it is just a matter of pressing
the issue, and continuing the attack. Chinami testifies that she met with a
lawyer in the cafeteria and they talked for awhile. She left her seat, then
the murder happened.
The poison was liquid, and a lethal dose of 10 milliliters was detected.
Furthermore, the poison used in the crime was pretty special. Chinami claims
to be innocent. There was no way to get her hands on that kind of poison.
Auchi says, this witness has no relation to that case. You disagree as you
will prove in the cross exam. On the part where Chinami says she couldn't get
her hands on the poison, show her the profile of Kikuzou Nonda. Chinami could
get her hands on poison anytime, if she went to that person's lab. The victim
was seeing the witness a half year ago. He was in the Department of Pharmacy.
The laboratory he was working in was used for scientific experiments. That's
the route the criminal used to get that special poison.
Chinami did get that poison, waited for the right time, and placed it in the
cup. Chinami explains that the amount put in the coffee was 10 milliliters.
In order to carry that much, you would need a container. When Chinami was
searched, they found no such container. You say that could have been
destroyed anywhere. Chinami responds by saying if she did dispose a medicine
container, show the proof. The judge says as long as you don't show the
evidence, your argument is void. Here's your chance. You think to yourself,
the container disappeared after the murder. The witness and courthouse was
searched, but nothing was found. So where did it disappear to? Show the
judge Chinami's Present.
Chinami had to get rid of the container in a hurry. That's why she pushed
upon an innocent person. It would be someone who wouldn't be searched. The
judge asks who. The answer is Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Auchi asks if the
defendant and witness are working together. You say no, the poison was her
present. Chinami stutters when she sees that pendant. The small glass bottle
in the center. That is suspicious. The witness gave away this bottle on
8-27, the same day of the murder in the courthouse. That was the only way she
could hide that piece of evidence! You continue on and say, there is no more
poison in that bottle, but analysis should show some traces. Naruhodou throws
out an objection in defense of Chinami.
You wonder why he would cover for the witness. He is devoted to her. You ask
if he knows why Chinami is seeing him. Naruhodou thinks it is his devotion.
You plea to him to wake up. Anybody can see by now, the real reason why
Chinami tried to get close to you. For your pendant. In the waiting room
during the break, Naruhodou said so himself, Chinami kept asking for that
pendant back. This pendant is a fatal piece of evidence against her. That's
why she fought to get it back. Naruhodou says it is a lie, but the fact is
Naruhodou didn't return the pendant. On top of that, he showed it off to
everyone he met. So she... Naruhodou cries and runs out of the courtroom.
The judge says, the court officials caught him, and will return shortly.
You notice the pendant is missing. It must have been taken on Naruhodou's
way out. The judge says this is unheard of. Naruhodou says he is sorry upon
return. Where is the evidence? Naruhodou says he ate it. You don't
understand. He crunched the pendant to pieces with his teeth. The crowd gets
excited, but you tell the judge to stop the trial. You worry if Naruhodou's
stomach is all right. He could have ingested poison. Auchi objects and says
see what you just proved? There is no poison in that pendant. The defendant
ate that pendant, yet he is fine. Poison? That's just the delusions of a
rookie lawyer.
Chinami says there is no more poison in that bottle. The poison is gone,
so... Auchi interrupts her and says, it is good to trust the defendant.
That's the same for him. He trust what the witness Chinami has to say with
his life. The judge says he won't accept the defense's plea. A rookie may
not understand it yet, but evidence is what makes the law. You think to
yourself, you came this far, you can't run now. The judge says the doubt on
Chinami is gone, but Naruhodou says wait. He is sorry that he forgot.
Chihiro did believe in him, and there is something he hasn't told yet. The
day he met Kikuzou Nonda... Nonda said last night, someone stole some poison
from his laboratory. Also, a half year ago, another sample was missing too.
During that time, that certain someone visited. That someone had to have
stolen it!
You ask if that's really what Nonda said. Furthermore, on that day, after
pushing the victim away, he returned to the scene. Chii-chan was there.
She sat beside the body. Chii-chan told Naruhodou not to testify about
that fact. He is sorry. Auchi has doubts, but Naruhodou pleas that
Chii-chan is not the murderer. You think to yourself, Chinami did steal
that poison a half year ago. Along with Naruhodou's testimony, there is
only one answer. According to that testimony, the poison was stolen the
night before. The purpose was to murder someone. You think carefully.
Chinami had to get something back. Who was Chinami Miyanagi planning to
murder?
The answer is Ryuuichi Naruhodou! He was a hindrance to her. Auchi says
that's outrageous. Kikuzou was the victim. You agree, that's what ended up
happening. However Nonda's cause of death was electric shock, not by poison.
Chinami planned the poison for Naruhodou. Isn't Chinami the lover of
Naruhodou? You say there was something more important for Chinami. The
evidence, the pendant. Why murder? A half year ago, in the cafeteria where
the lawyer was killed, Chinami could think of only one thing. How to quickly
get rid of the pendant. She thought it would be safe with Naruhodou. A
problem arose, however. He didn't return the pendant after the case cooled
off. That's why Chinami planned to kill Naruhodou, in order to get that
incriminating piece of evidence back.
Naruhodou will not believe it, but Chinami tells him to get off the seat. She
says he is unreliable to the ends of space. She told him to be quiet. Now
Chinami says it looks as thought she is the murderer, but do you have proof?
The pendant became a snack of that crybaby. Chinami tells the judge, don't
just stand there, say something. Without proof, a good witness is not a
murderer. She is about to leave, but you tell her to wait. Hoshikage says
if you don't have the evidence, you could be hit with the worst punishment.
You couldn't wear that lawyer's badge ever again. The judge asks if you can
provide the conclusive evidence to prove Chinami did the crime. You can't
miss here.
If you were to run, you would rather throw away that lawyer's badge. Chinami
calls you a stupid girl. The judge will allow one piece of evidence, and one
only. Chinami will humbly watch as the flowers won't bloom, but scatter away
beautifully. You know the poison must be these... Show the judge the
evidence marked Kazegoroshi Z. The medicine of Naruhodou. You say if you
caught a cold, you would never take this medicine, since it is poisoned.
Remember the defendant's testimony? The one where he said the bottle was
missing since lunch. He always ate lunch with Chinami. She stole the
medicine bottle, put poison in it, and waited for Naruhodou to take it.
Auchi objects, and says the victim, Kikuzou, held that bottle. You say
remember the case from a half year ago? Where did Chinami hide that
evidence? Inside the pendant. Chinami gave that present to someone. It
happened to be someone in the reference room, Ryuuichi Naruhodou. This time
it is the same concept. After pushing the victim, Naruhodou left the scene.
Chinami appeared. She held the poison filled Kazegoroshi Z bottle. It was
to be used to poison the defendant. She saw what happened and heard the
quarrel between the defendant and victim. The broken power line. Leaving
Nonda alive would be dangerous to her. Chinami used the power line to cover
up the mouth of Kikuzou.
Something happened that made things more difficult. Ryuuichi Naruhodou
returned to the scene unexpectedly. The machines for the experiments stopped,
and students started appearing at the scene. Chinami was sweating, since she
held the poisonous bottle. If the police searched her body, it would be the
same situation as a half year ago. She disposed the poison the same way as
before... By pushing it on someone else, this time in the hands of Kikuzou
Nonda! Silence in the room. Chinami says that is all the delusions of an
idiot. You ask if Chinami will drink this bottle. Naruhodou ate the pendant.
If she's lucky, she could be saved. If Chinami is innocent, prove it by
drinking this medicine! Chinami grows mean and repeats the name, Chihiro
Ayasato, Chihiro Ayasato. It is not over yet. For today she'll give you a
flower.
It won't end like this. We will meet again. Farewell. It's over. Auchi
still can't believe it. The judge says, the witness admitted to it. You ask
if Auchi would take the medicine. He did say he trusted Chinami. It should
be alright. How much do you really trust that witness? Auchi pauses, then
loses all his hair due to shock. As for Chinami, she has been arrested. The
judge asks, how you know Chinami? You say it has no relation to the current
case. The judge hands out the verdict for Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Not Guilty.
Case closed. Same day, 3:16 PM, Waiting Room # 3. Hoshikage congratulates
you. It got him thinking about the true meaning of trust. Maybe even the
veteran can lose sight of such things.
Naruhodou wonders if that really was Chinami today. The Chii-chan he knew
wouldn't talk like she did today. You say it would be best to forget about
her. That and calm down a bit. Naruhodou says he is studying to become a
lawyer. You are puzzled, since he is an art student. Yes, but there is a
friend he wants to save. If he hurries, he might make it in time. Can it be
done? You say you are still a beginner yourself, but you believe he can do
it. Naruhodou promises he will become a lawyer. We may meet again. After
that "Not Guilty" verdict, 5 years passed. Naruhodou became a lawyer, and
saved his friend (Mitsurugi). Chihiro is no longer in this world. Naruhodou
talks about how this case was a powerful reminder for him. At the same time,
an important memory.
He never thought he would look back at this particular memory. Chihiro is
not present, but she will talk to him time to time. 5 years after that case,
he will bite her words once again. Just a little more ahead. End of
Episode 1.

8a. Day 1 Detective Phase
Episode 2 - The Stolen Reversal. Day 1 Detective Phase. A reminder at 1:00
AM. Ping. Someone is talking to a detective. Time of the advanced notice
has passed. It seems like the Jewel is safe. Looks like we scared them
off. By the tone of voice, it looks like Detective Keisuke Itonokogiri.
Just to be sure, let's check the safe. After opening the safe, the detective
is shocked to find a card in place of the supposed jewel. It reads, "The
appearance of the Mystery Person". The detective orders an immediate search
of the area. A mysterious caped figure laughs and flies off into the night.
"We'll meet again at the next full moon!".
September 11, 3:24 PM, at the Law Office of Naruhodou. Back in the present
time, you now play the role of Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Mayoi tells you to
listen to something. You can clean the bathroom later. Mayoi says only
today you can talk like that. We will become big. Hami-chan and I. Harumi
Ayasato is here for something special. She shows you a poster. It is an
exhibit of the secret treasures. One of the items on display is the Kurain
Village Treasure, the Pot with the letters for "Children". Mayoi says they
can go tonight. The exhibit begins next week, but the sponsors got a special
pass for a sneak preview. You think to yourself, this is Mayoi Ayasato, the
younger sister of Chihiro Ayasato, your mentor.
You know Mayoi from two years back, the time Chihiro was killed. Now Mayoi is
the assistant leader of this office. She is training to be a first rate
Spiritual Mediator. The other girl is Harumi Ayasato, the cousin of Mayoi.
Harumi's spiritual power rival that of Mayoi. Both of their homeland is the
Village of Kurain. It is the main headquarters of the Kurain Style of
Spirit Mediation. Mayoi is the daughter of the head of the family. It seems
like a joke, but it is for real. Many times this spiritual power caused
unbelievable things to happen. Mayoi tells you to snap out of it and get
ready. Harumi is excited about the exhibit. You take the poster as evidence.
7:18 PM, Takabishiya, Exhibition Hall. The Takabishiya Department Store, the
town's finest shop. Mayoi is stunned by the view. Even junk looks like
treasure here. Mayoi says the person in charge of the exhibition is waiting
in the underground warehouse area. Let's pay a visit. Over there, a voice
greets you. Mayoi thinks it is a ghost, but it is someone who looks familiar.
The person recognizes you and Harumi. Her name is Kirio Kamiya. She is the
manager of this secret treasure exhibit. That and the overseer of security.
It seems Kirio's demeanor has changed since the last time you saw her. Kirio
says the valuables are still stored here. Talk to her to find out more.
Kirio says it's been a while. Mayoi has no clue what you are talking about.
(Mayoi was kidnapped in episode 2-4, that's the time you first met Kirio.)
That was a half year ago. Mayoi doesn't seem to remember. Kirio doesn't
seem to mind. Thanks to you, she changed and she is happy now. As for the
department store, it is nearing its 200th anniversary. The objects on
display are all of the highest quality. Mayoi is excited as is Harumi.
The security seem exaggerated. Show Kirio the Exhibit Poster. This will help
make the Kurain Village famous. Search the room to find a camera on the wall.
Kirio explains that every time someone enters or exits the room, a picture is
taken.
In the room on the right side, there is a statue. It is a statue of Kyouko,
the founder of the Kurain Style of Spiritual Mediation. Kirio borrowed this
gold statue from a member of the branch family. It just came in today.
Take this as evidence, then you notice it has something in its hand. Mayoi
doesn't know what it is. Kirio says it is the Kurain's "Shichishitou", a
blade that is used in ceremonies. It is not a weapon, so the blade isn't
sharp at all. Mayoi is disappointed, since she wanted to cut something with
it. Why is she looking at me when she says that? Kirio notices it is past
8 PM. How about dinner? She put in a reservation at the restaurant located
in the 12th floor. Let's go together. You think to yourself, now it is just
a matter of waiting until opening day. No one could imagine what would
happen in the coming days.
September 12, 10:04 AM, Naruhodou's Office. Mayoi warns you something
terrible has happened. Harumi switches on the T.V. The announcer talks about
their continuing coverage of a theft. The police say the criminal is the
Mystery Person, Kamen Mask. The Takabishiya Department Store had been
receiving advanced notice for the past ten days. This mystery person aims for
secret treasures, and this will be the fifth one hit so far. You recognize
the store as the one you went to yesterday. Mayoi's treasure has been stolen,
the Pot of Kurain. Talk to Mayoi. She says the Kurain Pot is the Kurain
Village's biggest treasure. It is on the poster, if you care to look. Inside
the pot, a spirit is sealed inside. It is the spirit of Kyouko, right
Harumi?
Harumi stutters then agrees. Mayoi thinks it is strange. Kyouko's name
should be written on that pot. When asked about it, Harumi stutters again.
You do know the story behind that. About a year ago, in Mayoi's hometown,
a murder case happened. That pot played a part in it. Take the pot as
evidence, then ask for Mayoi's input. Before you head off to the crime scene,
talk about that case from a year ago. Mayoi got arrested after her spiritual
mediation ceremony. The victim was murdered during that time. This pot
helped prove Mayoi's innocence. Harumi says don't tell Mayoi about how she
broke the pot during that time. It's a miracle nobody's done the math for
the past year.
Head off to the crime scene, the Exhibit Show. The exhibit hall looks
undisturbed, but someone tells you not to go in here. The voice is Detective
Keisuke Itonokogiri. Itonoko for short. He wonders why every time a case
comes up, you are always there. You wonder the same thing for him. Is there
no other detective? You argue a bit, then Mayoi breaks it up. Talk to
Itonoko about the case at hand. The object that was stolen was the Pot of
Kurain. The criminal is the Kamen Mask. Harumi already knows this. Mayoi
says, tell us something we don't know. Itonoko thinks a bit, then says the
crime occurred last night at around 1:30 AM. He received an emergency call
from the security guard on duty that night.
The place of the theft was not here, but in the underground warehouse. That's
where the pot was stored. Itonoko is mad, since the guard did let the mystery
person escape. This "guard" calls himself a great detective. You then ask
about the Kamen Mask. Is this person popular? Mayoi is shocked you don't
know about Kamen Mask. The mask could be anyone. The target is mainly
expensive art objects. Counting yesterday, this is the fifth time the Kamen
Mask has struck. Itonoko thought with the store's help, he could catch the
thief this time. He knows the pot was the target, since the thief left an
advanced notice letter. About the Master Detective, Itonoko says Kamen Mask
has struck five times. That detective managed to recover a stolen object on
the fourth time the thief struck.
The strange thing is, Itonoko's crew waited at the intended target, but he's
never actually seen this so called great detective. Harumi wonders how the
detective got the stolen goods back. Right now, this detective is skulking
around the crime scene. As for the letter, Itonoko warns you not to show this
to anyone. This letter has a mark, the Kamen Mask Emblem. It is printed on
every card the Kamen Mask sends out. This is secret information. A real
Kamen Mask note always has this symbol. Take this note as evidence, then go
to the crime scene, which is the Warehouse Area. You notice the place looks a
little different from the last time you were here. A voice welcomes you to
his "Banquet of Chaos".
A man with a magnifying glass as an eyepiece appears. He is dressed in a bow
tie and wears a shiny red ring. He seem to know what you are. It doesn't
matter how he knows. We are the travelers in the flow of time, like a
transient dream. He says the firm condition of a gentleman is to give the
name to the rival. His name is Aiga Hoshiidake, the master detective. You
introduce yourself as the lawyer Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Mayoi and Harumi do the
same. Aiga says the game has begun. Ask him about the role of the great
detective. He is surprised you still don't know the name Aiga and Kamen Mask.
They are the town's two biggest rivals. Aiga says he began his own
investigation since the second time the Kamen Mask struck.
At the last hit, Aiga struck glory. The Mask's trophy, was the "Lady Magina
Statue". Aiga managed to recover it from the crime scene, all by himself.
Mayoi heard about that on the news. He got a reward, a wonderful jewel from
the art museum. Aiga admits it is not as good as the recovered item. As for
this mystery person, Aiga claims that his rival spread the decisive fireworks
of battle last night. Then Aiga was here last night? Yes. Aiga is there
wherever the Kamen Mask is. You want more detail about last night. Aiga says
that he received a request to guard the store about 20 days ago. The Mystery
Person's advanced notice came in about 10 days ago. Mayoi is shocked the
request came before the letter.
The requester was cautious. It was Kirio. Ten days after beginning his guard
duties, Kirio had a bad feeling. The note arrived, telling what will happen
soon. Aiga set a trap in this warehouse, then waited alone for the mystery
person to show up. Mayoi wonders why he didn't call the police. Aiga says
they can't do anything about it. Aiga hid in a place where no one could see
him. Even that detective that's hanging around doesn't know about it. Aiga
says, "To deceive thy enemy is but a friend". Aiga waited here last night.
He claims no one passed through the door you see over there. Even so, the
Kurain Pot still disappeared. How? If he knew, they wouldn't be here, now
would we?
It is now time to search the crime scene. On the floor, you find an open box.
It is stained in pink paint. However, Aiga won't let you search the area
unless you show some proof of something he doesn't know. Show him the Advance
Notice of Kamen Mask. The emblem printed on this letter gets his attention.
He realizes you looking for this mystery person too. Mayoi wants the pot
back. He understands, then leaves. If you find anything interesting, visit
his office. Now search the floor to find that box you were looking at. This
box carried the Kurain Pot. Beside the box is the Shichishitou blade, but it
looks bent. Harumi mentions that yesterday, the Kyouko Statue held that
blade. It could have been used last night.
Mayoi says it could have been Aiga who whacked the intruder like this. Take
this as evidence. Search the computer to get a printout of the camera data.
It looks like the camera took one picture last night. This is good evidence.
On the right side of the room, you notice the gold statue has moved. Search
it and revise your evidence file with the new information on this object. On
the spot where the statue used to sit, there is a pink stain of paint. Upon
closer inspection, you see a square corner that is void of paint. Harumi
notices the paint is already dry, like it had been here for several days. As
you wrap up your investigation, return to the Exhibition Hall. Your cell
phone rings. Detective Itonoko is calling to tell you he beat that other
detective.
Itonoko caught the elusive Kamen Mask. Well, more precisely, he gave himself
up. As for the Pot of Kurain, Itonoko says come on down to the Detention
Cell. Kamen Mask wants to talk to you. Return to your office in order to
make your way to the Detention Cell. Itonoko welcomes you, but Mayoi seems
more interested in the pot. Itonoko says you are the victim. Ask the person
himself. Usually it is a murder case with a dead body, but this time it's
different. Someone is trying to get your attention, but Mayoi is not
listening. You see a guy in a flashy outfit. He claims to be the Kamen
Mask. His name is Yuusaku Amasugi. About the Kamen Mask, even he is not
sure. You wonder why he turned himself in. Mayoi thinks the reason is he
couldn't bear the burden of stealing an important treasure.
Amasugi has a plea. Would you meet my Mareka-chan? Before that, Mayoi wants
the pot back. He will, but then he changes his mind. He admits to losing
that pot. Amasugi says the reason you're here is because Mareka said so. He
wants you to go to his hideout to meet with his wife. He gives you the
location. Inside the hideout, you find the costume of Kamen Mask among other
things. You meet Mareka Amasugi. She knows who you are. She saw Mayoi on
T.V. once. It said, Mayoi was a lawyer's assistant and was doing some strange
training. Yuusaku usually gets the wrong impression. She doesn't know why he
confessed. Why would he steal the pot? It seems Mareka doesn't know who
Yuusaku is.
As for Mareka, she lives on thrill. She likes riding motorcycles at full
throttle. Running at the brink of death is more fun than the boredom of
ordinary life. Yuusaku is not so thrilled about that, however. Yuusaku is
mysteriously wealthy for a guardsman. Ask about the night of the crime and
she says, with the help of Mayoi, the crime happened about 1:30 AM.
Mareka says she got caught speeding last night. She returned home at around
3:00 AM. Yuusaku's alibi that night is unknown. Show her the profile of
Kamen Mask. She knows who Yuusaku is. He's a big fan of the Kamen Mask.
The problem is, Yuusaku thinks he is the Kamen Mask. The articles in this
room seems to fit, but Mareka says the real Kamen Mask wouldn't live in a
place like this.
Yuusaku is fond of heroes, after all. If he did steal it, the pot should be
here. Maybe you should ask him. Mareka believes someone placed a trap on
Yuusaku. She gives you a letter for you to give to Yuusaku. Return to the
Detention Cell and show Yuusaku the Letter of Mareka. After reading the
letter, he says the letter asks of you to be his lawyer. The trial is
tomorrow. Mayoi objects, since she is the victim. According to Mareka
though, Yuusaku isn't the Kamen Mask. Mayoi says that could be a lie.
Yuusaku promises a treasure out of his collection if you do accept the offer.
You decide to become his lawyer. Mayoi and Harumi are shocked. Harumi runs
off, and Mayoi follows. Mayoi returns and says Harumi will be at our
office. Yuusaku leaves to be questioned by the police.
When you return home to your office, Harumi greets you. She is still mad you
are defending Mayoi's enemy. Talk to Mayoi to find out more about Harumi.
The first time you met Harumi was about a year ago, in Mayoi's hometown.
Harumi seems to have a small misunderstanding about you and Mayoi. Mayoi says
it's a custom in the Kurain Village. Harumi seems to care about Mayoi. She's
got only one cousin. Remember last year's case? Harumi's mother Kimiko is
now... In a isolated cell in a penitentiary, awaiting punishment. Mayoi is
the only family for Harumi, and the other way around is true also. About the
Kurain custom, Mayoi says there are only a few men in the Kurain Village. She
has said this before, but the Ayasato Family's bloodline has strong ties to
the spiritual power.
However, only the women in the family can inherit that power. Naturally, the
society of the village becomes predominantly female. Nothing can be done
about it. It is a special world. Mayoi says, as a result, many couple's
marriages don't work out. Most of the males leave when they don't have a
place in the village, especially if a girl is born. So you're saying Harumi's
father left too? Right. He did leave. Harumi grew up in that environment,
so she's sensitive to that issue. As for Mayoi's mother, Mayoi doesn't know.
Maiko Ayasato is the name, and she was the Ayasato Clan's leader. Her
whereabouts are unknown since that incident 17 years ago.
Mayoi believes Maiko is still alive. If not, then Mayoi would be the new
leader, since there is no one else with the bloodline of the main family.
After that, Mayoi wants to get back to the present and continue the
investigation. Harumi apologizes for her actions. Harumi will make it up to
you. She runs out again to get some evidence. Take a trip over to Aiga's
Office. It looks like no one is here. Go to the Exhibition Hall once more.
Kirio appears and she seems to be in trouble. Kirio apologizes to Mayoi for
doing something to the important pot. You tell her to calm down. She says
she's skillful with her fingers, all for another pot.
Kirio then says she received the advanced notice from Kamen Mask about 10 days
ago. She was going to hand that note over to the police, but Detective Aiga
prevented her from doing so. Mayoi wonders if Kirio requested guards for
Aiga. Kirio says yes, about 20 days ago. Aiga supposedly knows more about
the mystery person than the guards. Kirio was confident in bad feelings.
As for the surveillance equipment, the Takabishiya Store provided that.
She thought she was prepared. As for the guards, Kirio is sorry. She put a
name like "Secret Treasure Exhibit" on such a trivial event. However, you're
not so sure if the stolen pot was really valuable. Kirio agrees and says
according to the results of an appraiser, the monetary value of the pot is
close to zero. She did her best to shine it, nevertheless.
She goes on to say the guards were handled by Aiga, but about 5 days ago,
new exhibits started pouring in. As a result, many people went in and out of
the warehouse. Kirio did check for herself. Now it is time to pay Aiga a
visit. At his office, he greets you. Ask him about the night of the theft.
Aiga says he was alone, and this was the fifth meeting with his rival. Mayoi
wonders if he has known the Kamen Mask since the first hit. Aiga says yes,
the first item stolen was the "Tear of Emanon", a blue jewel that is tear
shaped. That was the miracle meeting of the rivals. As for the pot, Aiga
claims to have set an elaborate trap using materials from the store, like the
surveillance camera. Aiga guarded the room himself, but the pot still got
stolen.
About the pot, Aiga says he, the great detective, only focuses on one thing
and that's Kamen Mask. The pot is irrelevant. You say the pot was the Mask's
prey. Aiga says his name is "Hunter". Things like a pot is nothing more than
bait. Do you ever remember the shape of a bean that has been thrown to the
pigeons? Mayoi is getting frustrated over the riddles, but manages to ask
about the tricks of Kamen Mask. He must have met the mystery person. Before
you know it, the Mind Lock appears. Remember the Psycho Lock? Mayoi doesn't,
so help her out. The Magatama Jewel's power can see the closed heart.
Successfully unlocking it will open up the secrets hiding behind it. This was
Mayoi's jewel, but Harumi gave it life last year. You think to yourself, this
is going to be the next leader of the family?
Showing the jewel starts the process. Aiga was guarding the place. So he
must have seen something. Aiga says he watched the door. No one passed
through. You don't know why, but he's lying. Show him the Camera Data from
the evidence file. That camera automatically takes the picture of people
passing through. It took one picture last night. Aiga's eyes didn't see
anything. It could be a computer mistake. You say it's Aiga's eyes that are
mistaken. He did meet Kamen Mask, there's a reason for hiding that fact.
Aiga couldn't see. The reason was, he was knocked unconscious. The proof is
the Shichishitou. Before the theft, that blade was in the hands of the
Kyouko Statue. It wasn't bent at the time. There is only one answer.
Aiga got hit on the back of the head with that blade. Well done, says Aiga
as the Psycho Lock breaks. Aiga admits to being knocked out while looking at
the computer. Other than the door, the ducts could have been another way in.
With this information, you rewrite the data on the Shichishitou blade. Aiga
was hit in the back of the head and was knocked unconscious with this. Now
one thing is for sure. Aiga didn't see the criminal. It is possible Kamen
Mask wasn't the thief. Aiga says wait, there's a reason for the camera. He
shows you a picture the camera took. The picture shows Kamen Mask by the
door, with a box in arms. The time stamp on the picture reads, 00:58:43
(about 1:00 AM). Take this shot as evidence. So the criminal is Kamen Mask.
There's a reason for all the hits by the criminal. Yuusaku Amasugi as Kamen
Mask had a reason to steal. There is a green sealed envelope in his hideout.
Go check it out. Return to Amasugi's Hideout and search the chair. There is
a green letter, like Aiga said. How did he know? Mayoi opens it and reads
it. "If you don't want the world to know who you are, come to the KB Security
Company. On the 12th of this month at 1:00 AM. Bring 5 million yen." It
looks like a blackmail note. Take this for your evidence record. Before you
can blink, the door bell rings. Mareka answers the door. A familiar voice
says he can't leave a lady in distress. It is Yahari. You haven't see him
in two years. He hasn't changed much. Still chasing after the ladies, huh?
Yahari Masashi. You've known him since grade school and he was your first
client in your debut as a lawyer. Surely, Yahari is in the shadows of every
case. One thing you do know is nothing good ever comes out when you get
involved with him. You notice the uniform he is wearing, but before you can
ask, Yahari says he doesn't trust women anymore. Well, Mayoi is the
exception. As for the reason for being here, Yahari says he picked this up
while working the guard shift last night. It is a wallet. It had a license
inside. That's how he found this place. Yahari came to return it. Take it
as evidence. Note that it is Yuusaku Amasugi's wallet and it was found at
a Security Company... Yahari is a guardsman at a security company (any
relation to that threatening letter?). Yahari then says he found this wallet
at around 1:00 AM on the first floor of the building.
Yahari says it's not strange. Yuusaku is an employee there. That's a first
for you. Look in the wallet. It has a Key Card, with a serial number as
proof. Take the card as evidence. Now show him the threatening letter.
How do you know about Emiko? asks Yahari. No, this is addressed to Yuusaku.
The KB Security Company catches his attention. That's the place Yahari is
working at, part time. So what is Yahari doing here? The president is out
of the office now, so he thought he could rest a little. The place is 30
minutes away by car. It would take an hour to return. If Yuusaku Amasugi
was at KB Security Company the time of the crime, he couldn't have stolen the
pot.
Show Yahari the Key Card. According to the serial number, it is the card to
the President's Office. It is required in order to enter. When used, a
record is kept. Who and when entered and exited the room is all there.
Yahari can't reveal the data to outsiders. If he gets fired, his plan to get
to Mareka will blow up in smoke. This is a time lawyers are weak, you think
to yourself. Rewrite the data on the evidence. The Tonosaman melody plays,
signaling your cell phone ringing. Harumi is calling. She was going to the
Takabishiya Store, but she got lost. Mayoi grabs the phone away from you.
Harumi tells her she ended up at that person's office. The one who is wild,
the great detective Aiga's office. Mayoi tells her to wait right there.
We will come shortly.
Yahari says, that was a cute girl's voice over the phone. Is that yours?
You tell Yahari to stick with Mareka (besides, Harumi is 9). Return to Aiga's
office. Harumi is there. She says Aiga wasn't here when she came in.
Something is different since the last time you were here. Search the bag on
the desk. Mayoi tells you to open it. You reluctantly do so. It feels
smooth and hard. Before you can see what it is, Aiga comes in and stops you.
Aiga says you are ignoring the rules of society. The more important things
is, what are you wasting time here for? Aiga says, with confidence, at
tomorrow's Court Hearing, it will be a fierce storm. The lawyer side has one
mistake. Aiga will appear on the witness stand tomorrow.
However, your biggest enemy is far stronger. If you are a lawyer, you have
surely heard the name "Godo". As for the identity of Kamen Mask, you say
Yuusaku hasn't been proven to be Kamen Mask yet. As for Godo, it's not a
name you have heard before. In the prosecution office, he is second to none,
a lone wolf prosecutor. He is wrapped up in mystery. Mayoi says your
greatest enemy is Mitsurugi. Aiga says Reiji Mitsurugi is not in this
country. It seems today's search has come to an end. Aiga says the stage
is set. The only thing left to do is dance! End of Day 1 Detective Phase.
8b. Day 1 Courtroom Phase
Day 1 Courtroom Phase. September 13, 9:36 AM, Waiting Room # 4. Mayoi is
there. Today's courtroom is packed. Mayoi bought a Kamen Mask Bromide from
one the vendors in front of the courthouse. You take this as evidence. A
voice shouts, he wants to be guilty. It is Yuusaku. He says he's the
culprit and he sent the advanced notice to the store. You point out that he
doesn't have the pot. Mareka appears to support Yuusaku. She believes he's
innocent. 10:00 AM, Courtroom # 6. The trial of Yuusaku Amasugi begins.
The defense is ready. You now have your first look at the new prosecutor,
his name is Godo. He's wearing a red three lined visor.
Godo says, it's worthless to prepare. He asks the judge if the verdict is
prepared. The judge wants to hear out the case before deciding. Godo says
"You shouldn't ask people of something you can't do yourself. That is my
rule". He is Godo, the legendary, undefeated prosecutor. The judge has heard
about the rumors. What kind of cases has Godo done? Godo says, none. This
is the first time in the Prosecutor's Chair. But he did say undefeated. Godo
says, in the beginning, every prosecutor is undefeated. Even the big guns
were rookies at one point. The judge says it is rude to wear a mask in the
courtroom. Godo says, don't you know? Every person wears a mask over their
heart. You think to yourself, are all prosecutors like this?
Godo says, we finally meet, Ryuuichi Maruhodou. Is he mocking you? Mayoi
asks if you know him. No, all your associates call you Naruhodou. Who is
under that mask? Godo says he must fight you. He returned from Hell just for
that purpose. The judge tells prosecutor Gotou... Godo corrects him and says
it is not Gotou, it is Godo. He tells Godo to give the opening argument.
Godo says, even a dog couldn't eat that. Just one, you Maruhodou. Godo says
there is something called, "The size of a person's vessel. The prey I eat for
lunch, can it be served on your platter?" You have no response. Then the
judge orders to bring the first witness to the stand. It is detective
Itonoko. As he speaks, Godo interrupts him and says, nobody asked for your
name. The important thing is what you know. That's all. Talk to me. I'll
listen.
The judge tells the witness to explain the circumstances of the Mystery
Person. In Itonoko's testimony, he says the Kamen Mask appeared about a half
year ago. Before every crime, the mystery person always sends an advanced
notice of where the next target is. Counting this case, this is the fifth
time struck. As expected, a letter came to the Takabishiya Department Store.
The intended target was limited to the most expensive art objects only. From
all the above, he concludes the Kamen Mask was the perpetrator. The judge
asks who is the Kamen Mask. You, Godo? A cup of coffee slides into Godo's
hands. Godo takes a sip. The judge warns him they are in the middle of a
trial.
Godo says, "Filled to the brim with darkness deeper than night, the bitterness
hotter than Hell, that's coffee. Let me be and I'll let you be." In the
cross examination, you figure you need to prove the one who stole the pot
wasn't Kamen Mask. On the part where Itonoko says the target is the most
expensive art objects, show him the Pot of Kurain. In this case, it is not
the most expensive item. This pot's monetary value is zero. The judge asks
for Godo's opinion. Godo says, according to the art appraisers, no value
could be put on that pot. Of course in a bad way. You say it is unnatural
for the Kamen Mask to go for a pot like that. The judge says, the defense
believes the thief is not Kamen Mask. The judge asks for Godo's opinion.
After taking a sip from the cup, Godo says, "This coffee is Godo's Blend
Number 107. Should I take the stingy sourness, or should I take the
entwining bitterness? That's all that concerns me, Maruhodou." Godo goes on
and says, "If you are a man, then you wipe your own ass." You don't
understand what he means. Godo tells you that if Kamen Mask didn't steal the
pot, then it is a fake who is trying to impersonate Kamen Mask. Godo says,
before I solve my coffee problem, prove to me, the one who appeared in
Takabishiya the night of the crime is really a fake. The judge agrees.
Show the evidence marked Security Camera Photo. There is something wrong
with this picture.
Godo says to show him where. Point to the chest area of Kamen Mask. Look at
the bromide Mayoi bought this morning. Notice the emblem on the chest? The
crime scene photo shows the Kamen Mask without that emblem. The one who
appeared at the scene didn't wear the emblem. That means this Kamen Mask is a
fake! After the judge restores order in the court, he tells Itonoko about yet
another one of his misses. Itonoko is sorry. Godo says, let me in the party.
The judge scolds Godo for missing that fact. Godo responds with, the thing
you are searching for, (sips his coffee) could it be this? He shows an
emblem. Where did he get that? Godo says evidence is lonely. It always
hides at the scene of the crime. This lady was dropped behind a large statue.
Godo kept this piece in his pocket. That is the safest place, after all.
Mayoi is shivering, but Godo tells her it is too early for that. On the
emblem, a hot kiss mark was left behind. Kiss mark meaning the defendant's
fingerprints. The judge orders Godo to enter that piece into evidence. Godo
says, take care of my lover. The judge looks at it, and notices it looks to
be torn off a costume. The threads cut off on the back side prove that.
Godo surmises there was a fight that night at the crime scene. You think to
yourself, this case has turned to the worst. Godo smirks and says, don't
underestimate him, otherwise you'll get burned. All of this is following
Godo's calculations.
Now Godo is ready to call his next witness. Itonoko says, it's over already?
He hasn't proven anything yet. Godo tells him that Itonoko proved how
worthless he was. That's good enough. The next witness is brought in. Godo
says, every second of time is a drop of coffee. Let's hurry and begin. Aiga
tells him to be quiet. He has seen it. You must like coffee. Godo says
very good. You are the first to notice. The witness is Aiga Hoshiidake, the
great detective. Mayoi is interested to see the conflict between Aiga and
Godo. The witness was the lone guard the night of the crime. Aiga says yes,
his eyes are a hundred times better than Itonoko's. The question is, why was
he alone? The judge orders the witness to testify what he saw the night of
the theft.
In the testimony, Aiga says, that night, when the day changed around 1:00 AM,
Kamen Mask appeared. The moment he turned around, he was hit in the head.
Regrettable he didn't have a chance to fight back as he lost consciousness.
30 minutes later, he called the police on the emergency phone. In the cross
exam, at the point where he says he couldn't fight, show him the Emblem as
evidence. His eyes did see this emblem. It was dropped on the floor of the
warehouse. It was pulled off a costume. That night, the mystery person
fought someone. That's how this emblem got torn off. The only one who was
there was Aiga! Aiga explains he was confused with all the other cases in his
mind.
Godo says, "An able man is decided by the number of sensible work done. That
is my philosophy". Mayoi says you have only one job. The judge asks if the
witness did fight with the mystery person. Before he can answer, Godo stops
him. Godo says, important things should be heard in testimony. That is my
rule. In Aiga's testimony, he admits to taking his eye off the door.
However, that's not enough to restrain him. The mystery person took a
nearby weapon and came at him. A gentleman's weapon is his fists. A single
blow by the person was all it took. Aiga must have confused his 3rd meeting
with Kamen Mask with this one. In the cross exam, at the part where he says
a single blow is all it took, probe a little deeper.
Aiga says it is tough facing an armed opponent with just fists. He used his
special tactic, but was blinded by a flash of light. That let to checkmate.
Ask about this special tactic. Aiga says it is fighting with your back to
the wall. That way, you won't be struck from behind. The judge asks what do
you think? You say this statement is important. The judge says he will
remember this tactic if he gets jumped on a night road. Why is he staring at
me when he says that? You think to yourself. The judge orders the witness to
add that part to his testimony. Now's your chance to show the contradiction.
Show him the Shichishitou as evidence on the newly added part. Yesterday,
Aiga said Kamen Mask hit him in the back of the head. Today, Aiga said he was
hit in the forehead, since his back was to the wall.
That's not all. It's unnatural to hide the Advanced Notice from the police,
like you were afraid to put the police on guard. Aiga says a genius is
hard to understand in any time period. Here comes Godo's first objection!
Godo says everyone makes mistakes. Human behavior cannot be fully explained
by reason. That's why people throb and glitter. You say it's not like that.
Godo says doubts should be pursued thoroughly. That's my rule. Here's your
shot at a counter attack. The judge wants to know your opinion. You say,
Aiga is the Kamen Mask! The crown gets excited. Order in the court, order
in the court. The judge frantically pounds his hammer.
Detective Aiga has too many unnatural points. He was "hiding" so there was no
other witness. He was alone at the crime scene. He didn't inform the police
and he retrieved the prize from the last heist. Aiga says it's all deductive
reasoning using past data. It's about getting ahead of the police! You
disagree and say it's a more simple answer. Aiga is the Kamen Mask. The
judge asks about the picture of the crime scene. He couldn't have
crafted this picture. You say he didn't need to craft one. Aiga Hoshiidake
as a detective pretended to guard the warehouse. Then he became the mystery
person Kamen Mask and stole the pot! Aiga just laughs. The witness is about
to admit to being the Kamen Mask, then Godo objects. Godo throws his coffee
mug at your face.
Godo says, "That is Godo's Blend Number 102, on the house." Coffee drips from
your face. The great detective equals the mystery person? That's just a
neat fabrication. However, reality is not that beautiful. The defense's
opinion is scattered. If the witness is the Kamen Mask, show the proof.
A proof as perfect and as hot as the coffee on your head! The definitive
proof Aiga is Kamen Mask. You don't have it. Godo says yes, a man must
rise his face, even in misery. If you stop now, you may never get a second
chance to accuse this witness. Your mind is a blank. The judge says the
doubt on the witness is gone.
Then Mareka interrupts the trial. She has the thing you are looking for. The
bag, more precisely, the contents of the bag. It is the Kurain Pot! It was
found in the office of Aiga. You notice the pot is spotted pink and it has
the correct letters for Kyouko. Remember this for later on. Aiga is...
Objection! Godo says how shameful. "Long ago, man used to talk with spine.
Now, there's no one to catch those man's words. A sign of the times." The
problem is with the lady who brought the pot. She is the wife of the
defendant. Godo says, I could cry. The way you're trying to save your
husband. The wife of the criminal could "find" the pot anywhere. Yes,
even from the detective's office.
Godo continues on, so you find the pot. How? The problem is where was it?
Mareka says it's from Aiga's office. Godo says, this town is flooded with
sad lies. There's no need to go on any further. Ryuu-chan can prove it.
You ask to check the fingerprints on the pot. Aiga says that's ridiculous.
His fingerprints on the pot are natural, since he did guard the pot. Besides
that, Aiga is wearing gloves. The witness's fingerprints on the pot has no
meaning. You think to yourself, "That pot was brought in yesterday. There is
one person who put their fingerprints on the pot." Show the judge the profile
of Ryuuichi Naruhodou, yourself. Aiga doesn't understand. Remember
yesterday?
You put your hands into the bag and touched the pot. That's when Aiga stopped
you. It was smooth and hard. You ask the judge to search the pot. If your
fingerprints are on there, then this pot was in Aiga's office. Godo objects
and slams down his coffee mug. He says even if the fingerprints are on the
pot, can you prove when? Yes. The exhibit's manager, Kirio Kamiya said she
polished the pot the best she could. By doing so, all fingerprints were
erased. The only chance for me to touch the pot was yesterday, in Aiga's
office! Godo says this Godo's Blend Number 107 is a little too much bitter.
You see smoke coming out of Godo's visor. The judge agrees with the defense.
Aiga says there's no need to search the pot for prints. That pot does have
the fingerprints of that lawyer. Aiga laughs like a maniac. In search of his
rival, he himself dirtied his hands in crime. Aiga says he was the Kamen
Mask. Afterwards, Godo says Aiga is still laughing in the waiting room. Godo
would like to laugh like that. The judge pounds the hammer. It is settled.
Yuusaku says, wait! He claims he is the Kamen Mask. He pleads for the guilty
verdict. You say the identity of Kamen Mask was established. The verdict
now. Godo takes a gulp from his coffee. He tells Yuusaku, if he is a man,
then he should wipe his own ass. Yuusaku doesn't understand. Godo says to
explain how he is the Kamen Mask. Yuusaku will, happily.
Godo says, good boy. However, you only get only chance to become a man. Go
ahead and talk. I'll listen. In his testimony, Yuusaku says he is Kamen
Mask. Can you explain how he is not? The night the pot was stolen, he
doesn't have an alibi. That night he dressed up in the Kamen Mask outfit,
and dropped in on the crime scene. See. That's him in the picture. As for
the emblem, it got caught by the door on the way in. Godo then says, if
you try, you can do it. As promised, the testimony is good only once. If you
protect this testimony, then I'll protect my promise. The promise to hold you
as Kamen Mask in custody.
For the cross exam, on the part where he says he has no alibi for that night,
probe a little deeper. The judge says that's a first for him to see a witness
admit to no alibi. You think to yourself, if you can prove where Yuusaku was
that night, it would prove he wasn't Kamen Mask. Godo asks if you can prove
it. Yes, you can. The judge is surprised at your strong will. Godo says
yes, in miserable times, a man must be strong. Show the judge the Wallet of
Yuusaku. The witness admits that is the wallet he dropped. Yuusaku dropped
it the night of the theft. You say this wallet was found around 1:00 AM at
the KB Security Building. There is only one conclusion. Yuusaku Amasugi went
to the KB Security Company! If the defendant was at the building at 1:00 AM,
that proves his alibi. By the way, the distance between the company and the
store of the theft is 30 minutes by car.
The judge asks for the prosecution's thoughts. Godo tells Yuusaku, here's
your chance for a rebuttal to the defense's claim. Yuusaku says it's not
strange to drop his wallet there. Someone could have put it there. You take
a stab into darkness and ask if using this security card was the time he
dropped the wallet. This card is to the president's office of the company.
Godo says, well done Maruhodou, but there is one thing you fall short on.
The reason. The mystery person had no reason to be in a security building
that late at night. The judge asks for proof. Show him the Threatening
Letter. It says to bring 5 million yen. At the time of theft, Yuusaku
Amasugi was bargaining with the intimidator at the security company.
Smoke comes out of Godo's visor. Then he chugs down on a whole cup of coffee.
After the judge restores order in the court, he agrees with the defense.
Godo objects and says that perfect proof wasn't as good as this Godo's
Blend Number 107. The president of that company threatened the defendant?
Did you search out this president yet? No. Godo says you should
not call someone an intimidator without getting acquainted first. You think
to yourself, what about calling someone the Mystery Person, without being
acquainted first? The judge asks if there is a witness who can testify
Amasugi was there at the building. Mayoi asks if you will seek out the
president. You say that's not necessary. You know someone who can testify.
Show him the profile of Masashi Yahari. The judge almost recognizes who this
person is, but the judge probably sealed that memory away. The night of the
theft, Yahari was the guardsman at the security building. Look at the Key
Card. When entering and exiting the room, a record is made. Search the data
of the key card. Godo then spits out his coffee (my favorite reaction). Godo
then says, the name of the President of KB Security Company is Kurobei
Busujima. It is not possible to get in touch with him. The data on the
key card is here. The serial numbers of the card, and record are in
agreement with each other. The card was used the night of the theft at 1:00
AM. You rewrite this information for the record.
The judge says the one in the photo couldn't be Yuusaku. Godo agrees. In two
minutes, there is no time to make a delicious cup of coffee. So Yuusaku was
at KB Security Company in the president's office that night! The prosecution
will accept that as the truth. Yuusaku was not the Kamen Mask. Mayoi says we
won. The judge asks if there is any objections? None from both sides and
none from the witness. The verdict for Yuusaku Amasugi is, Not Guilty.
Court is adjourned!
Same Day, 2:24 PM, Waiting Room # 4. Mayoi says you were right. So does
Mareka. Harumi comes in and celebrates. Then Harumi gives you the cold
glare when she sees you with Mareka. Harumi slaps you on the face. You feel
it is useless to try to explain to Harumi. Everyone is happy now, except
Yuusaku. Then Godo comes in and says it's too early to celebrate. "Yes,
that's the blues of life, right partner?" What is he doing here? Godo came
to give thanks to his partner, Maruhodou. Before calling me partner, maybe
you should learn my name first, you think to yourself. Godo says play time
is over.
This morning, the corpse of Kurobei Busujima was found. Yes, the President
of KB Security Company. Godo says the estimated time of death was on the
12th of September around 1:00 AM. That's the same time of the theft at the
Takabishiya. Godo is here since you helped prove Yuusaku Amasugi was at the
murder scene at the time of the murder. The threatening note called the
defendant there with murderous intent. Yuusaku was an employee of that
company as a pro guardsman. Thanks to today, now Godo's got a reverse alibi.
Yuusaku was not at the store stealing the pot, but he was at the building
where the murder occurred. That's what you help prove today in court.
Godo takes Yuusaku into custody for further questioning.
Now this changes things. Yuusaku will now be tried for murder. Godo says,
don't disappoint me, Mr. Lawyer. Show me what you got. Today, you didn't do
you best. Godo reminds you how he came back from Hell to fight you. Let's
make it more fun. You wonder, who is this guy? You sense a quiet, yet deep
hostility from Godo. Now that Yuusaku is a murder suspect, and we were the
ones who proved his alibi, what will happen next? End of Day 1 Courtroom
Phase.
8c. Day 2 Detective Phase
Day 2 Detective Phase. September 13, 3:02 PM, Naruhodou's Law Office. Mayoi
says they got the pot back, but Yuusaku was caught. He becomes the key
suspect in the murder case. Harumi mentions that it was you who proved the
alibi of Yuusaku. You decide to search the area of the murder scene. Harumi
will return to her village. She will take the Pot of Kurain with her.
Harumi insists on going alone. Consult with Mayoi and she says we should go
to the crime scene. Maybe Mareka would know the location of the company. We
should also hear Yuusaku's story. As for the pot, Mayoi notices something
strange. The poster has the pot with the letters for Children, but now it is
returned to the proper Kyouko. Also, the pot she knew didn't have all these
pink spots. What happened here? Mayoi wonders if the pot is a fake.
That's were Harumi went to find out. As for the Kurain Village, Mayoi is
still training, but lately she hasn't been doing that much. Maybe she'll find
a nice doujou and get serious this year. She must still thinking about last
year. When a mediator calls a spirit, the caller herself loses consciousness.
Calling a spirit with strong thoughts can be dangerous. Back to the present,
make a visit to the Detention Cell. Yuusaku is there, saying he didn't do it.
He is still being questioned, so come back here later. Now go to the Hideout
of Kamen Mask. Mareka is there. She is distressed. She was supposed to save
Yuusaku, but the opposite happened. You will save him, won't you? Yes.
About Yuusaku, Mareka says he couldn't murder anyone. Mayoi agrees. He still
believes he is Kamen Mask. That's just his imagination. You say it's
Mareka's imagination. She claims to know all about Yuusaku. As for the
reason for loving Yuusaku, he is her life's benefactor. One time she was
confronted by two robbers. She resisted, and was kidnapped as a result.
They held a knife to her as she cried. Yuusaku, dressed as a guardsman saved
her. Ask about Aiga and she replies, she's not too fond of him. Mareka was
worried the day of the trial, so she went to Aiga's office to gather
information. That's when she found the bag.
As for KB Security Company, she says it's about 20 minutes from here, if you
floor it on the bike. She'll give you the location. Now head on over to that
place. Once there, you catch up with Detective Itonoko. He knows what
happened in court today. Ask him about the murder case outline. After a
little persuading by Mayoi, Itonoko says Kurobei Busujima is the victim's
name. He was a middle aged man, and the president of this company. They
found his corpse at around 9:00 AM this morning. He was killed around 1:00
AM on the 12th of this month. The cause of death was a figurehead from the
room. It was used to strike the victim. Itonoko gives you the Autopsy Record
for your evidence file.
Mayoi wonders why it took a day to find the body. Itonoko says the body was
found inside that large safe you see over there. They couldn't get a hold of
the president, and when they opened the safe this morning, the body rolled
out. As for Aiga, he is being held in the detention cell. When that advance
notice arrives, that Aiga always appears. During the actual theft, Aiga
always disappears. He claims to hide at the scene, but he's really the
criminal himself. However, on the first hit, there was a witness. Itonoko
shows you a newspaper article. The guard in the article looks familiar. Take
this as evidence.
As for prosecutor Godo, Itonoko says Godo let you do that in court to damage
you. Godo is a mystery. Itonoko never heard about him until recently. One
day Godo appeared at the Prosecution Office like the wind. "It's my first
time as a prosecutor" were the words. Record wise, yes, but Godo is no
amateur. Itonoko asked around, but nobody knows and nobody's talking. Now,
search the book on the desk. The file contains information on Kamen Mask.
The last page has a list of the stolen items. Search the button on the wall.
Mayoi pushes it without thinking. An alarm sounds. It is an emergency
buzzer. It connects directly to the guard room that's downstairs. According
to the guardian, the buzzer didn't ring the night of the murder.
That and there are no fingerprints on the buzzer. The victim Busujima didn't
wear gloves. Take this as evidence. Now go visit the guard room of the
company. Yahari is waiting there. He has some information for you. He can't
give it away for free, however. Mayoi could persuade him otherwise. Yuusaku
Amasugi was an employee here. He was fired about a year ago, with no warning.
How is life as a security guard? It's tough but he manages. Yahari mainly
looks at the monitors you see in the background. There are surveillance
cameras placed in the building. If he sees anything suspicious, he alerts the
team. As for the night of the murder, Yahari was here. You have a bad
feeling about this.
Two Psycho Locks appear to confirm your suspicions. Let's unlock this now.
Show him the Magatama Jewel to begin the process. You wonder if Yahari
really was focused to the job. After all, yesterday, Yahari was playing
hooky to go see Mareka. Yahari says this and that are two different things.
At the time of the murder, Yahari was not in the guard room. The proof is the
Wallet of Yuusaku. Yahari says he's never seen that wallet before. Of
course you have. You brought it in yesterday. He found it at 1:00 AM, so
Yahari wasn't in the guard room. One lock broken. Yahari says his shift was
was from 10:00 PM. The criminal could have been inside the building before
he came on duty.
If that's the case, then it wouldn't be his fault. You say the criminal
entered well after 10 PM. Show him the President's Key Card. It has a record
of the time it was used. The time was 1:00 AM, the time of the murder.
Someone used it to enter the president's office and it was someone during
Yahari's shift. Unlock successful! Yahari says that night, Emiko had
something to tell him. When he met her, she was with some other guy. Yahari
got punched by the other guy. Wait, that's the reason you left the guard
post? Yahari wonders if he can do anything right. Mayoi suggest you show him
something. Show Yahari the Emergency Buzzer. Mayoi just rang it recently.
Yahari heard it.
Why didn't he come? Yahari says that's on the first floor. We're in the
third basement. It was better just to wait. What about the night of the
murder? Yahari will check. When he returns, he says the buzzer did ring once
at around 1:00 AM. Take this as evidence. Return to the president's office
then go to the Treasure Exhibit. Go to the warehouse to find Kirio. She seems
worried about the pot. About Kamen Mask, Kirio says she saw the news. Aiga
was the mystery person. About 20 days ago, she hired Aiga, then 10 days ago,
the note came. Was Aiga really after the pot? As for the night of the
murder, Kirio says Kamen Mask was here. Aiga hid at the warehouse, so she
didn't see him.
Ask her about the Kurain Pot. Although it was recovered, it seemed different
than before. Kirio says she knows nothing about the pot, but then two Psycho
Locks appear. You don't have enough evidence for now. Now, go back to the
President's Office. Show Itonoko the profile of Kurobei Busujima. Looks like
the victim didn't have an eye for money, although he seemed to profit from
dirty deeds. He knows the secrets of other companies and bought and sold
using that knowledge. The victim also was involved with guarding the Kamen
Mask. After the failed attempts, he lost the trust of the industry. Now
go back to your office and visit the Detention Cell.
Yuusaku is done being questioned by the police. He begs not to leave him.
That night, at the department store, the Kurain Pot was stolen. At the same
time, Yuusaku was called to the President's Office of KB Security Company.
That's where the president was murdered. You want to know where Yuusaku was
that night, for real. About the Kamen Mask, Yuusaku says he is that person.
In court today, though, Aiga admitted to being that person too. Yuusaku says
he didn't steal the pot. Then the picture taken at the department store must
be Aiga. As for the night of the murder, Yuusaku says he was at the Security
Company, waiting for the promised time. He used to work there, so he knows
where the president's office is.
He knocked on the door. No answer. So he used the Key Card to get inside.
That's when he dropped the wallet. Inside the room, someone was standing
there. That someone hit Yuusaku in the head. Was it Busujima?
Yuusaku doesn't know. While he was dazed, that someone got away. When
Yuusaku came to, he saw the president's body laying on the floor. So Yuusaku
dragged the body into the safe. He was the chief security officer, so he
knew how to open the safe. Then he took off and ran. He knew of the
surveillance cameras placed around the building. He carefully made his way
out.
About the time he got fired, Yuusaku says don't tell Mareka. She wouldn't
like it. The reason Yuusaku became the Kamen Mask was that Mareka was a
free spender. Show him the newspaper article. That was the first time he
was Kamen Mask. He got away by switching clothes. A guard uniform was in
a nearby trash can. Yuusaku changed clothes and acted like a security
officer. Rewrite this fact for the evidence record. Yuusaku says, Aiga
caught him by discovering the Kamen Mask uniform inside the trash can.
Aiga must have taken that costume home with him. As a result, Yuusaku had to
make a new costume. A few days later, the first of many letters of threat
began pouring in.
Ask for details, and Yuusaku says the last letter received was the first to
tell him to meet somewhere. The first letter came just after his first heist,
the Emanon Tear. Someone knew who he was. The letter said the intimidator
had solid proof. Yuusaku's jewel was confiscated. Yuusaku wouldn't worry.
When he put the jewel in the predetermined safe, he got paid one million yen.
After that, Yuusaku got a note of instructions. About the plan, it had
directions on how to steal. Crowns, paintings, art objects and such. It also
showed the guard's patrol routes, blind spots, escape routes and other tricks
like a training manual. So from the second theft onward, someone else was
planning the heists. You think to yourself, is Yuusaku really the Kamen Mask?
If so, then who's the one behind the planning?
After stealing the goods as planned, Yuusaku would place the goods in a safe
deposit box determined by the planner. After that he gets paid. Mayoi asks
about the Kurain Pot. Yuusaku says he's never seen that pot before. He only
stole the items listed in the plan. You ask if this testimony is true. Yes,
but don't tell Mareka. Take this as evidence. One more thing. You ask if
Yuusaku killed the president. Yuusaku says no, he didn't. He admits to
putting the body in the safe, but he didn't kill. Amasugi thought if he was
guilty as Kamen Mask, that would take him away from the murder scene. Soon
after the conversation, Harumi shows up. She returned from her village.
For sure the Kurain Pot is genuine. Just one problem. The pink spots on the
pot seem recent. Go back to your office, then make your way to the warehouse
area of the department store. Search the pink paint on the wall. It looks
like the same color as the spots on the pot. The area where the paint is
missing is interesting. So is the box nearby. That box carried the pot.
It's also got the same paint color on it. Take this as evidence, then search
the pink wall again. The box is a fit to the missing area. Now you are
starting to see what happened here. It's time to challenge Kirio's Psycho
Lock. Show her the Magatama Jewel to begin.
The pot from before and now are different. Kirio says that pot could be a
fake. Show her the Kurain's Pot to prove to her the pot is real. It seems
like this pot was broken once again. It was broken once by Harumi, a year
ago. It happened again, this time more recently. Show her the Treasure
Exhibit Poster. The poster is recent. The pot in the picture is cracked and
and has the Kanji characters for "children" written on it (子供) . The
pot now has the characters switched around to read "Kyouko" on it (供子).
The pot now has pink spots. The pot must have been broken and repaired once
again. One lock down, one to go.
Kirio didn't know. She claims she didn't break it, maybe another staff
member did it. Unless, that is, you can prove it was broken here. Show her
the Paint Marks. The pot is spotted pink. That area of the warehouse is also
pink on the floor and wall. The pot was broken there. Kirio says pink paint
can be found anywhere. Show her the box that held the pot. The box is also
pink on the bottom side. The missing area of paint on the floor matches the
shape of the box. Psycho Lock unlocked! Kirio says she did break the pot and
she tried to hide it. About two weeks ago, after finishing the photo shoot
of the pot, she brought the pot down here to the warehouse.
When she brought the box for storage, she tripped on a pink paint can. She
dropped the box, and after hearing a crack, her blood nearly froze. When she
opened the box, the pieces of the pot dropped out from the bottom side onto
the wet pink paint. Kirio tried her best to fix it. She didn't know the
original characters of the pot, yet she did repair it back to the correct
form. She says no one else has seen it since she stored it away. Rewrite
the data on the pot for the evidence file. Mayoi says when we first came
here, the paint marks were not there. Kirio says she used the gold statue
you see over there to cover up the paint spot. The night you first came here,
was the night the pot was stolen.
There was no paint marks then. Kirio says around noon, she received the gold
statue. The size of that statue was perfect to hide the paint stains. That's
why she put the statue over there. Harumi says it's strange. The day after
the theft, we came here. The statue was moved, revealing the paint stain.
Kirio doesn't know who moved the statue. She had no reason to. She was
trying to hide the paint marks, not reveal them. You think to yourself, the
day before the theft, the statue was close to the door. The next day it was
moved. It seems like the stolen pot and murder case are connected. The real
Kamen Mask, Yuusaku was at the Security Company. Then why would another Kamen
Mask be doing here, in the department store warehouse? It looks like that
mystery person will appear in court tomorrow. End of Day 1 Detective Phase.
8d. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 1
Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 1. September 14, 9:41 AM, Waiting Room # 4.
Mayoi is amazed at how much attention this case is getting. No she means the
trial next door. Aiga is being tried today as the Kamen Mask. Harumi will
return to her village. She couldn't afford to rest from her training any
more. You welcome Yuusaku today. You feel like you must end this trial
quickly. 10:00 AM, Courtroom # 6. The trial for Yuusaku Amasugi is now in
session. The defense is prepared. Godo says, preparation is just an excuse,
a way out for cowards. The judge asks for the prosecution's opening
argument. Godo says, Yuusaku Amasugi was too young to come on to the
battlefield. The judge doesn't understand. Godo says, what a group of
annoying company.
Godo says, life is a battlefield. That's why there needs to be rational.
Understand? The judge does. He goes over the case summary. The victim is
Kurobei Busujima, President of KB Security Company. The body was found in a
safe at around 9:00 AM on the 13th. The time of death was 1:00 AM the night
before. Godo says, on that time, a stray cat cried out at the crime scene.
That is the defendant. Godo is ordered by the judge to bring the first
witness out. Godo says, he decided, the coffee he drinks in court, the limit
is 17 cups. The real cup is only the first one, however. Godo's first
witness is Yuusaku himself. Is that alright with the defense? Putting the
defendant on the witness stand can be risky, but you remembered that Chihiro
believed in you when you were the defendant.
The defense has no objections. Godo sips his coffee and casually asks, did
you do it? Yuusaku says yes... I mean no! That would have been a court
record if he didn't correct himself. Godo wants to know what the defendant
was doing at the scene of the crime, if murder wasn't on the agenda. Yuusaku
can't explain, but the judge orders him to testify. In the testimony, Yuusaku
says at around 1:00 AM, he went to the president's office. He was doing as
the note said to do. He was an employee there until last year, so he knew
where the office was. The judge says 1:00 AM, the time of the murder. Godo
says, "The weak get swept away by the currents of fate, while the strong
drink that up. (Godo sips his coffee). Ah... Today is also bitter, my fate."
For the cross examination, start probing from the beginning. Yuusaku is sure
about the time. Godo says, that's too late to drink coffee together. As for
the letter, that was a first for Yuusaku. The letter asked for 5 million yen.
Godo says, money. That's a good motive for killing. Yuusaku didn't plan on
paying. Even if he were threatened, it wouldn't bother him. The judge orders
him to add that statement to the testimony. As for a year ago, Yuusaku says
he was the chief leader of his team. Godo says, resentment from being fired.
That's good motive. You wonder why he was fired. Godo says, things you
shouldn't have asked. The world is full of these.
Yuusaku says he needed money. Mareka spends a lot. His pay wasn't enough, so
he stole company data. KB Security gathers information on security from
various other companies. He was the team captain. Godo says, data you
later sold. Yuusaku says the president found out and Yuusaku was dismissed
on disciplinary measures. He kept is off the record, and resigned himself.
Mayoi wonders what is the disciplinary discharge. Godo says, anybody that
brings harm to the company will be fired as punishment. You, especially you,
should remember that. The judge orders the witness to add that part to the
testimony.
Now the situation has changed. For the worse. Back to the part about not
being scared about revealing his character, probe again. Yuusaku says it
probably is about Kamen Mask. Godo objects and says, that won't pass anymore.
The victim had no proof the defendant was Kamen Mask. However, the defendant
did steal company information. Yuusaku says that part was settled. You say
it would be troublesome for this information to leak. Godo says, a man
grows from facing bad times. Then I shall give you bad times, Mr. Lawyer.
Prove your point. Show him the profile of Mareka Amasugi. Godo wonders if he
has to do your job. The victim threatened Yuusaku. The victim would
have told Yuusaku's wife about the incident that got Yuusaku fired.
Then the victim was murdered. You curse to yourself when you realized you
fell into the prosecution trap once again. Only 20 minutes into the trial and
you are already at a disadvantage. Godo says, the motive has been
established. To the next step we go. What happened the night of the crime
scene? Tell me, I'll listen. In the testimony, Yuusaku says when he entered
the room of the president, a shadowy figure stood in front of him. That
figure struck me on the forehead. If he didn't put "that" on, he would be
dead. When he came to, he saw the body of the president on the floor.
Yesterday, Aiga claimed to be hit in the back of the head, but that proved
to be fake.
Godo says, a lousy lie, that's poorly imitated, nobody's fooled. Right
Maruhodou? It's your client, don't get sloppy. If you do show signs of that,
he will treat you to that coffee. For the cross exam, probe the part where
he says, if he didn't wear "that". He's talking about the Kamen Mask costume.
Yuusaku was dressed in that outfit at the scene. Mayoi says that's the first
time she's heard of that. Same with you and Godo. Godo mentions how this
witness likes to hide things. Godo says the 6th cup of coffee is staring at
him with cold eyes. The judge orders the witness to revise the testimony.
On the revised part, probe again. The judge says, Kamen Mask is the guy in
the courtroom next door.
Yuusaku says it was tough getting the costume on. It took time. The cape got
stuck in the safe's door. That was about the time he hid the corpse. The
judge asks if that's true. Why did you do that? Godo says, "When does a
person throw their underwear into the washing machine? The answer is, when
they take it off." As usual, the judge doesn't understand. You say, "I hid
the corpse in the safe because I'm the criminal". Is that what Godo is trying
to say? Godo says, you do understand. Mayoi still has trouble understanding
Godo's fables.
The judge orders Yuusaku to add this fact to the testimony. Yuusaku says it
took ten minutes to hide the body. Show him the Emergency Buzzer Record.
This button alerts the guards. It rang once at 1:02 AM, according to the
record. If Yuusaku is the criminal, he should have ran immediately when the
buzzer sounded. Godo objects, and says the defendant didn't know there were
sentries posted at the building. You argue that Yuusaku was a commanding
officer a year ago at that place. He should know. Godo argues that no guards
ever did show up at the crime scene. You say that's a coincidence. One of
the guards (Yahari) was attending to personal matters on the job. Yuusaku
would not know that.
Godo objects for a third time, with mask smoking. He says, the guard or
defendant didn't notice the buzzer ringing. You continue the argument by
saying the buzzer makes an extremely loud sound. It's impossible to miss, if
Yuusaku was conscious. Godo says, let's hear it. You say, remember the
testimony of the defendant? Someone struck him the moment he entered
the room. He was out cold for at least a few minutes. Yuusaku didn't hear
the buzzer. That's why he took his time. The buzzer rang while Yuusaku was
knocked out. This means someone else was in the room. It was the one who
knocked out the defendant and rang the buzzer. Godo objects, saying Yuusaku
has to be the criminal.
You argue back, who rang the buzzer then? Godo says, the victim. Can you
prove it was not the victim? Yes, show him the Buzzer itself. There is
nothing on the button. Godo says, do you want to rephrase that? There is
nothing there, that's the point. There are no fingerprints on the button.
If the victim did push it, there should be fingerprints on there! Godo spits
out his coffee, then objects, saying the defendant wiped the fingerprints off.
You argue, why? The guards could come any minute. Godo says the defendant
also pushed the button. You object and say the defendant was wearing the
Kamen Mask costume. That suit had gloves. There's no need to wipe off
fingerprints.
Order in the court, order in the court! After restoring order in the court,
Godo says he has had enough to eat. If there was someone else there, why was
the buzzer rung? Godo says you are all out of magic tricks. You think to
yourself, sort everything out. The real criminal killed the president at 1:00
AM. Yuusaku, dressed as the Kamen Mask, came in soon after. The criminal
knocked out the defendant, then rang the buzzer. The guards could come soon.
Wait. "If the guards came?" Time's up, says the judge. He wants to hear the
counsel's thoughts. Godo is impressed with the look in your eye. Why did the
criminal push the buzzer? You say, to call in the guards. That was the
criminal's intent.
As it turned out, no one came. Godo says, that's a criminal that could make
him cry. Turning yourself in to repay the crimes done? You say, no. There
were three people in that room. The victim was already dead. The defendant
was unconscious. Then the criminal in question makes three people. Now, in
this situation, if the criminal ran away, then what would happen? There would
only be two left in the room. If the guards came, what would it look like?
The defendant would look like the killer. That's the plan of the criminal,
to frame the defendant. Godo shakes his head, sips his coffee, then spits
it out. Godo then says it seems like he's been betrayed. The question is,
who is this criminal?
Someone who knew Yuusaku, someone who knew Yuusaku would be at the Security
Building that night. The judge asks, who is it? You say it is Aiga
Hoshiidake that is the real criminal! In the courtroom next door, the trial
is not about Kamen Mask's identity. Aiga should be tried as the killer of
Kurobei Busujima! You see, the crime of stealing or the crime of murder.
Which is the heavier crime? The judge says murder. Under the current rule,
murder is considered a capital punishment. Now, think back to yesterday. The
time when Aiga confessed to stealing the pot. Godo says the great detective
is also a great thief. That would stir up the audience. Aiga would be guilty
on stealing instead of murder!
That's Aiga's intent, to get off on a lesser charge! The Kamen Mask alibi was
used to cover up the murder. Being guilty to stealing would craft an alibi
for Aiga. Godo says it's almost time. The verdict for Aiga. It's not that
difficult a case. Now's the only time to stop trial and delay that verdict.
That is if the defense can prove Aiga is the killer. If you stop Aiga's trial
now, then fail to prove the murder here, then Yuusaku's verdict won't change.
Godo says, the only gamble you can bet with is, only up to your own life.
Yuusaku believes in you. Do it! Can you? While pondering the situation, you
hear Chihiro's voice. She tells you don't be lost. For the sake of your
client, take the path you believe in. You tell the judge to suspend trial for
now. The judge allows a 20 minute break. Call forth Aiga during this time.
The same day, 11:58 AM, Courtroom # 5. Auchi is the prosecutor talking to
Aiga. The judge there says there is no need to go any further. The verdict
for Aiga is... Wait! You make it in time to stop the trial. You accuse
Aiga for murder. Aiga is sweating. End of Part 1.
8e. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 2
Same Day, 12:14 PM, Waiting Room # 4. Mayoi is surprised to hear you got
advice from her sister. She's still alive in your mind. Mareka calls for
you. She wonders if it is true, Aiga's a killer. You admit you don't have
definite proof, but there can be no one else considering the circumstances.
Wasn't he at the department store? What motive would Aiga have to kill?
Break time is over, it's time to get back to court. 12:21 PM, Courtroom # 6.
Yuusaku's trial resumes. Aiga is now on the witness stand. You couldn't let
Aiga get a perfect alibi in the name of Kamen Mask. Aiga doesn't understand.
He was in the courtroom next door, since 10 AM.
The judge asks if he was in the defendant's chair all day to be tried as Kamen
Mask. Aiga says, yes the world is easily fooled. They asked me to guard and
they didn't know who I was. For a whimsy prize to get back, it would be an
outrageous fee. He's talking about the shiny red diamond ring on his finger.
You say to Aiga, if he still believe he is Kamen Mask. Yes. The judge
explains that at 1:00 AM on the 12th of September, Kurobei Busujima was
murdered. Where were you at that time? Aiga says, the unintelligent don't
have the wisdom to be ashamed of their ignorance. Godo tells Aiga to talk
about the night of the murder. He will listen.
In his testimony, Aiga says as the Mystery Man, he stole the pot, like the
advance notice predicted. He had plenty of time to prepare. It was, all
together, an easy job. There are no words for the picture. That is the
witness that never lies. The time the camera took the picture of Kamen
Mask, and the time the murder happened are in agreement. You think to
yourself, there is something in that picture that's hiding. Aiga says he's
done, excuse me while I await my sentence. You say, wait! You're not
finished with him yet. In the cross exam, probe everywhere you can. You say
the person in the picture is wearing a mask. You can't see who it is.
Godo objects and says, do you think the person in the picture is not Aiga?
Do you claim there is an accomplice? You say no. Elsewhere, you say the call
from Kirio came about 20 days ago. The notice came 10 days ago. The notice
was sent after Aiga began guarding. As for the picture, that's evidence of
Aiga stealing the pot. It's seems like this picture was intentionally taken
for this purpose. Godo objects and says his own trap caught the witness.
Aiga says yes, "A perfect crime is nothing but a short lived dream. Life is
irony itself. A blue and mellow melody." Continue probing to find out if the
picture's time stamp could be forged. Godo says, it can't be crafted.
The Takabishiya staff provided the surveillance camera, so was the printout
of the photo.
There's no room for crafting. After that, return to the statement about the
picture. Shake and probe him again. Godo says you know by now, the picture
couldn't be crafted. Without an accomplice, murder is not possible. Think
about this picture and the scene you saw the night you were there. There
should be conflict. Something is amiss in that photo. The judge asks you
to show him. Point to the painted area. The judge says that's blood stains.
You correct him and say it's really just pink paint. The point is, the
important part is not the paint. That warehouse should have something that's
not there in the photo. What is it? Show him the Golden Statue of Kyouko
Ayasato. Kirio said, that afternoon, she received that statue.
She put the statue there to cover up the paint spill. You saw for yourself
before the crime, the statue right there over the paint. This statue should
be in the picture, but it isn't! Godo objects and says the next morning, he
went to the crime scene. The statue was moved to the corner. You say there
is no reason to move it there. Godo says can you prove who and why that
statue was moved? Yes, Aiga moved it! The only person down there that night
was Aiga. Why did he move the statue? Look at the picture for the reason.
Mr. Aiga, you were the Kamen Mask, to create an alibi you were at the
Takabishiya that night! There's a big lie in this picture. If the statue
showed up in the picture, the lie wouldn't stand up.
That's why he moved the statue. Godo says, tell me where this lie is. On the
photo, point to the time stamp on the photo. The defense stands by the fact
Aiga murdered Busujima. The night of the murder, at this time, the witness
was not at the department store! When was the statue placed by the warehouse
door? Godo answers, the day of the crime, the statue was brought to the
warehouse. It was put there to cover the paint. Right. Aiga planned ahead
the time he would murder his victim. To make an alibi for that time, he took
this picture a few days before the crime. During that time, the statue was
not there.
On the day of the crime, Aiga became worried. Something that wasn't there
when the original photo was taken was now there. Aiga had to move the
statue, so the place would agree with the photo from a few days earlier!
Aiga says you are forgetting one thing. The data on the computer shows the
camera took one picture. You agree. The camera may have been supplied by the
staff, but the person using the computer was Aiga. Godo takes a drink from
his mug and says he is on cup 11. His limit is 17. He then says, we are
travelers on a ten thousand mile road. This picture was taken beforehand. The
statue was moved to compensate. There is just one thing he won't laugh about.
That's all just possibility!
Godo says a man bound by "maybe" cannot chase the big dream! Godo tells Aiga
there is no contradiction on his actions as Kamen Mask, so there's no
problem. Tell us about the plan to steal the pot. In the testimony, Aiga
says he received the request to guard the place 20 days ago. The pot was
stored in a box and was put away for storage. Therefore, he couldn't see the
pot until the day of the theft. He read how valuable it was, so 10 days ago,
he put out the advanced notice. To ensure a smooth operation, he guarded the
place alone. On the 12th at 1:00 AM, that's the time he touched the pot.
For the cross exam, on the part where he says, the night of the crime was the
first time he touched the pot, show him the evidence marked, Kamen Mask's
Advance Notice.
If he was the Kamen Mask, Aiga wrote this. Godo asks, what is wrong with that
note? In the note, there is a line that reads, "Spotted Pot". This refers to
the pink spots on the pot. There is no way Kamen Mask would know of those
spots. The pink spots are paint. Those spots were there after being in the
warehouse. Godo says this joke is not funny. On the day the pot entered into
the warehouse, someone (Kirio) tripped on a paint can. That's why the pot got
stained. However, the advance notice shows these spots. So, Aiga must have
seen the pot prior to the theft! It was the time he created that fake
picture. Godo spits his coffee out. This picture is fake, so Aiga's Alibi
crumbles to null.
Mayoi says it is too early for the celebration. Godo says, nobody has faith.
Yesterday's trial showed this witness to be the Kamen Mask. Today he is
called a killer. How unfaithful. Godo continues on to say, if Aiga did kill
Busujima, then what was the reason? Aiga says he has no motive to kill the
president. A fake alibi, and pinning the crime on the defendant. For a plan
like this, there must be strong motive, says the judge. Godo says the one to
have a motive in stock would be the defendant. The judge says, without
motive, there is no point in the murder trial. Tell the court about the
motive you know.
In the testimony, Aiga says he himself had absolutely no contact with the
victim. Busujima investigated the Kamen Mask, but got the wrong identity.
Busujima, addressed to Yuusaku Amasugi, wrote the blackmail note.
The victim did have resentment aimed at the defendant for betrayal. However,
the defendant thought he was Kamen Mask, so he murdered the victim. Godo says
the blackmail note was found in the defendant's hideout. According to the
results of the handwriting analysis, Busujima was the one who wrote this
letter. Write this down for your records. In the cross exam, on the part
where Aiga says, the letter of threat was addressed to Yuusaku, show him that
very same letter as evidence.
If that letter were addressed to Yuusaku, there is a flaw in the logic. Godo
says, how do you say that, when your very own existence is a flaw? Godo says,
a man talks with his fist. Let's see what your fist have! Show him the
Newspaper Article. The Emanon's Tear, the jewel that was stolen. See the
picture of the jewel? Look at the color. Godo says color. That's a subject
he dislikes. The Emanon's Tear is blue. In the blackmail note, a line reads,
"If you don't have the money, bring the Red Diamond". So the red diamond is
not the Emanon's Tear. Godo objects and says, then you are saying this letter
is addressed to someone else? Yes you are. Show me who! Show him Aiga
Hoshiidake.
He was involved in all of Kamen Mask's affairs. The case before, Aiga
recovered one of the goods. As thanks, Aiga received a jewel. Like the red
jewel on Aiga's finger. That's what the letter was talking about. The
victim was threatening Aiga! Godo objects. The victim threatened the
witness, are you serious? Yes. Then answer this. In the letter, it reads,
"Your identity, if you don't want it to be public..." Busujima was going to
reveal Aiga's identity. What was that identity? Here's the big question.
You say, Aiga's identity is a person who also made threats! Objection! Godo
says you said earlier, Busujima threatened Aiga. So you say it goes further,
Aiga threatened someone else? Mayoi says that's weird. You say it's not
weird.
It is the only thing left! Someone also threatened Yuusaku. Yes,
Aiga! Yuusaku began receiving threats after his first heist. Someone planned
to get the treasure without dirtying his own hands. That was Aiga! Aiga
says, in grade school, your report card must have read, "Careless and jumps
to conclusions frequently". If Aiga did threaten Yuusaku, he must have know
Yuusaku was the Kamen Mask. The plans came in for Yuusaku from the second
heist onwards. So Aiga knew who the thief was on the first heist. Godo says,
show me the hot and bitter evidence. Show him the newspaper article. You
say, on Aiga's grade school report card, it must have read, "The effects of
mischief are weak".
In the newspaper, Aiga and the defendant, dressed in a guard uniform, are
there. Aiga chased Kamen Mask into the alley. Aiga figured out Yuusaku
changed clothes by throwing the Kamen Mask costume in the trash. That's how
Aiga knew who Yuusaku was. The crowd gets noisy. "He's no Kamen Mask, not
even a great detective. Just a dirty intimidator!" Aiga denies it. You say
he's an intimidator and killer. Aiga laughs like a mad man. The judge is
about to put Aiga away when Godo objects. He says it's too soon to pound the
wooden hammer. Godo says, one thing. He'll be the judge. Godo says you
have proven many things. Aiga's an intimidator. He wasn't there the night
at the department store.
However, there's one thing you haven't proven yet. Just because the witness
wasn't at the warehouse, doesn't put him at the murder scene. You haven't
proven this bastard was at the office of President Busujima. Until that is
proven, the verdict cannot be declared! Mayoi asks if you can do it. Godo
asks, so what will it be, Maruhodou? Aiga was there in the security building.
The defense cannot prove it. You want more testimony, but Godo shoots it
down. Remember, Aiga is being here, while another trial is suspended. You
have failed to prove Aiga is a killer. This witness will return to trial, to
be found guilty as being the Kamen Mask.
Mayoi says you have until tomorrow, but you say that is too late. Godo says,
do you know about the basic rule of law, called "Double Jeopardy"? The judge
says, if a person is on trial and is found not guilty, then that person
cannot be put on trial again for the same crime. That is the main principle
of Law. Godo says, this witness will be guilty as the Kamen Mask, so he will
be innocent in the murder of Busujima. You couldn't prove the murder was done
by Aiga. So Aiga won't be tried again. You hold your head down on the desk.
The path to victory just sealed shut. Even if Yuusaku is not guilty, Aiga
will escape.
The judge rules there is no more testimonies. Any objections? None from any
party. The cross examination of Aiga is over. Someone throws out an
objection. The voice tells the judge that his grade school report card must
have read, "Mishears a lot". Naruhodou, raise your head. Did you forget?
When a lawyer is in a pinch, the best thing to do is laugh. Chihiro's spirit
has taken over Mayoi's body. Chihiro says, let's go! The testimony is not
over yet. She tells the judge, he did say all the statements have been
cross examined. Not all. After the final cross exam, Aiga did say something.
Aiga said, "Love wins in the end, I am the great detective and the mystery
man. That's the words behind the verdict. Yuusaku Amasugi is the real
killer. As the great detective, I say this with full confidence."
The judge doesn't see the importance of that statement. Chihiro says that's
for the cross exam to decide. The defense has the right to examine all
statements. What do you say, Mr. Prosecutor? Godo is speechless. (He looks
like he seen a ghost). After stuttering a little, Godo says it can't be
helped. The witness did talk. He will allow one last cross exam. The
subject is the reason Aiga believes Yuusaku is the real criminal. In the
testimony, Aiga admits he wasn't at Takabishiya that night. He had a more
important case to attend to. He knew the date beforehand, so he prepared that
photo.
His reasoning whispers the truth that Yuusaku Amasugi is the real criminal.
The wallet and key card clearly shows the defendant at the crime scene. As
for the buzzer that rang only once, he says why wouldn't there be fingerprints
on the button? If the victim rang the buzzer, fingerprints would be left
behind. So the real criminal rang the buzzer. He wore the Kamen Mask outfit,
so no fingerprints were left. As for the blackmail letter, the victim made
the mistake of putting the wrong color. Conclusion. All the evidence points
to the defendant as the criminal. You think to yourself, that testimony looks
solid.
For the cross exam, the judge gives you one chance. Godo says the party has
started. Chihiro reminds you evidence is not the only way out. Godo says it
is cup number 17. The last one. Trial is almost over. Now, at the part
where Aiga says the defendant wore the Kamen Mask costume, to avoid leaving
fingerprints, probe there and there only. If you try to probe anywhere else,
then it is instant game over. Aiga just admitted he was at the crime scene,
in the office of KB Security Company. He said, there was no fingerprints
left behind on the button, since the defendant was wearing the Kamen Mask
costume. Why does he know this? Godo says he is getting thirsty.
Yuusaku wore the costume to the crime scene. When did we know that fact?
Godo says, reluctantly, a few hours ago, just after his 6th cup of coffee
stared at him. The defendant never told anyone else. The only people to
know this are the people in this courtroom. Aiga couldn't have known.
Today, Aiga was on trial for the crimes of Kamen Mask. Godo says, there
must have been a chance to know beforehand. You disagree. The only
chance to know is only one place. Yuusaku saw a shadowy figure when he
entered the room of the office. Godo says Yuusaku didn't see who this figure
was. You say, turn that statement around. The criminal must have seen
Yuusaku. Aiga must have seen Yuusaku at the crime scene.
Aiga killed Busujima, then knocked out Yuusaku. That's the only chance to see
Yuusaku wearing that costume. Aiga laughs like crazy. He calls himself
the pathetic clown that dirtied his hands by resorting to crime. The judge
says Aiga, who in turn was threaten by Busujima, threatened Yuusaku.
Aiga killed Busujima, then pinned the murder on Yuusaku. Aiga tried to get
off on a lesser charge by attempting to be guilty for the crime of stealing
instead of murder. The judge admits he almost made a rush to judgment. The
verdict for Yuusaku Amasugi is, no wait! Yuusaku still says he is Kamen Mask,
but since yesterday he was found not guilty on that charge, double jeopardy
is in effect.
The verdict for Yuusaku Amasugi is, Not Guilty. Court is dismissed. 3:35
PM, Waiting Room # 4. Chihiro says well done. It's been awhile. Mayoi
hasn't called her much. She says Mayoi is lost in becoming the leader of the
Kurain Style of Spiritual Mediation. If Mayoi does, that would mean parting
with her mother. We'll meet again. Yuusaku doesn't know what to say. Except
thanks. Mayoi appears and tells him to cheer up. He's no longer a murder
suspect, and he was found not guilty of the crimes of Kamen Mask. Yuusaku
admits he lost everything. He did the things he did for Mareka. She would
hate to see Yuusaku as a criminal. A broken bowl won't come back. You say it
will. Show him the Pot of Kurain. Mareka found this. She believes in you.
Mareka wonders why Yuusaku didn't tell her. She wanted to be part of the
Kamen Mask Adventure. She likes riding on her bike. She doesn't like unfair
people like the great detective Aiga. Yuusaku plays fair and square. Mareka
is glad she had you to defend Yuusaku. They won't forget this. Harumi comes
in and congratulates you and Mayoi. There's one thing, however. Harumi says
you are being "unfaithful" to Mayoi. So the case ends as you grow dizzy as
Harumi slaps you. Yuusaku said the broken bond can't be fixed. You beg to
differ. The broken pot returned to normal. End of Episode 2.

9a. Day 1 Detective Phase
Episode 3 - Recipe for Reversal. Day 1 Detective Phase. The trial has ended.
The defendant is found guilty of poisoning the victim's coffee. The defendant
claims to have seen another person who is the criminal. The verdict is
Guilty. January 6, 10:03 AM, Law Office of Naruhodou. Mayoi tells you how
she has the New Year's feeling. She's had too much mochi to eat. Itonoko
comes in and he doesn't look happy with you. Sit down and talk. Can you
look at this and laugh? He shows you a magazine. Mayoi reads it. "Murder
by Poison Case, the Verdict, Guilty. The Lawyer Naruhodou Loses". You read
on. "In yesterday's trial, he seemed like an amateur."
The defendant was guilty because of you. Itonoko says, don't tell me you
don't remember. You don't recall. When was this magazine published?
December of last year, about a month ago. On December of last year, you
didn't have a case. Itonoko says, if that's not you, then there is an
imposter floating around. So, what are you going to do about it? You say,
nothing, but Mayoi says a client was found guilty because of you, fake or
not. Itonoko says you will apologize now. Get a re-trial! You wonder,
this case did already get a guilty verdict, how are you going to turn the
tables? Itonoko will go to the courthouse. If you need something, visit
him at the Police Station.
The name Ryuuichi Naruhodou has become somewhat famous. Clients do come in,
knowing what you are. You do have a responsibility. Who could this imposter
be? Consult with Mayoi as to what to do next. You say, go to the Detention
Cell and hear the client out. Mayoi says you're the one who put this client
there. You say you don't have a twin brother, at least not to your
knowledge. Mayoi noticed today, Itonoko look a little agitated. Maybe the
first son born does that to him. Maybe it is because of the client. Head on
to the Detention Cell. Who could the client be? A woman in a waitress
outfit appears and tell you how disappointed she is for throwing her away.
She seems familiar. She is Mako Suzuki. She was your client when you
defended her in the murder of her fellow police officer. She was found not
guilty then. You then explain it was an imposter in the case a month ago.
Mako says bad luck always seems to follow her. Since the real Naruhodou has
shown up, she'll do her best to help. Talk to her to find out she is a
waitress. It's a small French Restaurant, but really cute. As for the case,
she says it happened on the 3rd of last month at the restaurant called the
Torebian (Tres Bien). Mako saw two men drinking coffee. Then one of guys
put something in the other's coffee.
It was poison. The victim died shortly after drinking the cup. Mako herself
fainted. Mayoi say, wait a minute, do you know the victim? Mako says no,
that was the first time she saw him. So she wouldn't have motive to kill.
Did you see the other guy? Mako says yes. So why were you guilty? She
doesn't want to hear that from you. She explains that no one else saw what
she saw. The manager and customers all say they only saw one guy at the
table. Nobody would believe her. Furthermore, something wicked came out of
her apron pocket. A bottle of poison. When the victim died, Mako fainted.
She believes that's when the criminal stashed the bottle in her pocket.
Mako says she brought the coffee over to the table of the two men. When she
saw them, she thought they must be into music. One of them wore an earphone.
There was a sample CD on the table. In ink, there was a band name written on
the back of the CD case. Clea... something. Mayoi asks about the criminal.
Mako doesn't recall. He was about the same size as the victim. Show Mako
the Magazine Article. Tell us about this so called lawyer. Mako says the
next morning after being arrested, he came into the visiting room, suit and
all. Yes, you. Mayoi asks if there was an imposter of her. Mako says no.
Mayoi looks disappointed. This guy had an overwhelming force of intensity.
He promised to defend her.
You ask why she didn't notice he was a fake? She says now that she thinks
about it, he was a little strange. He was a little taller, and the eyes had a
mean look to them. The voice was cracked and he had a Kansai Dialect... You
say that's not even close to you! She says the hair was pointy and he did
have a blue suit. Nobody in court said anything? Even the judge? She says
everyone did look confused, but the atmosphere was thick. Mako asks if a
trial can be held once more. You say yes, since she didn't have a lawyer to
represent her, at least a real lawyer that is. Mako asks if you can win this
time.
Mako says the life of Suzuki is a full course meal in bad luck, with a dessert
of defeat included. Six months after she was born, she fell of a nine story
mansion and suffered bruises. She got attracted to rides, food, and failed
exams. She experienced just about all the disaster in the world. Now she
ends up framed for murder, and a fake lawyer to defend her. So she will
continue to live on to seek happiness. You won't allow someone to use your
name for someone else's benefit. Mako tells you the location of the Tres Bien
restaurant. Go there. Mayoi is amazed at the sight. This place seems heavy
on the perfume. The place seems empty.
Search the magazine rack. It holds a bunch of fashion magazines. You notice
there's something in the back. It looks like a sports newspaper. There is
something written in pen. It says "Cleaning Bomber" and an arrow is pointing
to a crossed out figure of 10 million. Another thing you notice is that the
paper is dated 12-3, the date of the murder. Take this as evidence. Return
to the holding cell and show Mako this paper. When you tell her this was
behind the magazine rack of the Tres Bien, she says that's not right. That
restaurant doesn't carry newspapers. The head of the restaurant doesn't like
them. Then a customer left it behind?
When Mako sees the drawing on the paper, she says, that's it! Cleaning Bomber
is the name of that CD! So the 10 million must have been the down payment.
That CD was on the table of the victim, so the paper must have been his too.
Return to the restaurant. This time someone is there. A guy in pink offers
Mayoi some perfume, or more like oil for the bath. He offers you some
perfume. He gets you a seat, but you decline. You are not here to eat, you
are here investigating. This guy seems to know you. Apparently, you bullied
him in court about a month ago. That must have been the imposter. The man
introduces himself as Kaoru Hondobou.
As for the restaurant, the place serves authentic French Cuisine. It's not
for everyone. With Mako gone, they do have a shortage in personnel. He runs
the place alone. Hondobou is the head of the restaurant and the chef. About
the murder case, about a month ago, the 3rd of that month, just past 1 PM, a
man drank some coffee. Then he doubled over. There was poison in the drink.
Mako did bring that cup over there. Hondobou was in the kitchen when he heard
the sound of someone falling. When he went to check, it was too late. Mako
was passed out. You ask if there was just one guy at the table. Hondobou
says yes, only one.
Mako claims there were two. The police have already been here, asking the
same question. The old man also didn't see two people. At the time of the
murder, there was one other witness, a customer. A regular customer. That
man was here that day as usual. That person witnessed the moment. There was
no one else at the victim's table. You couldn't prove there was two people
there in court. Once again, that was your imposter. Show Hondobou, the
profile of Mako Suzuki. He has heard about her previous case. He gave her
some perfume, the Belgamont, but now she's been arrested and found guilty of
the crime.
It can't be helped that she's a suspect. That thing happened before his eyes.
So maybe Mako does have motive. When Mako brought the victim's coffee over...
Ah, it's nothing important. Mayoi says Mako didn't know the victim. Plus the
prosecution should have given the motive. Tell us. Three Psycho Locks
appear. You are about to challenge it, when you discover the Magatama Jewel
is missing! However, seeing the Psycho Lock means the jewel is nearby. You
confirm with Hondobou that at the victim's chair, there was only one person
sitting. He says ask the old man. That guy is always playing around the
park. It's located at the back of the restaurant, in Vitamin Plaza.
Take a visit to this Plaza. Once there, you see a man feeding the pigeons.
More like throwing beans at them, if you ask me. When you try to talk to him,
he ignores you and says he is busy. He starts throwing beans at you. Search
the large orange beside him to find a magazine. It is a post for albeit. The
old man asks what are you doing with that thing he threw away? He asks for it
back. Take this as evidence. Return to the Tres Bien and show Hondobou the
Job Search Article. He asks if Mayoi is interested in working here. Mayoi
won't say, but he hires her anyway. She will stay here for now.
Return alone to the Detention Cell. The police are interviewing Mako,
so you decide to come back here later. Go back to your office. You think it
is better to let Mayoi stay there at the restaurant. Now visit the Police
Station. In the Detective Division, Itonoko appears. He wonders if you have
anything for him. You say no, you're just begun the investigation. Itonoko
is willing to leak out anything he knows. Itonoko dropped his other cases to
work on this one. He tells you there will "officially" be a re-trial at 10:00
AM tomorrow morning. The prosecutor in charge is Godo. Itonoko says, if
Mako is found guilty again, he will arrest you.
About Mako, Itonoko was her guidance when she was an officer of this station.
Oh, so that's what is going on. Maybe I should tell Mayoi about this, later
on you think to yourself. Itonoko says, no! You ask how does he read your
mind? Itonoko says, instead of your mouth, your eyes tell all! Ask him
about the victim of the case. Itonoko says the name is Takao Oka. He was a
computer programmer at a small computer office. Itonoko doesn't see how he
could be connected to Mako, other than that day when she brought him the
coffee. According to the Chef, it was Takao's first time at the restaurant.
Nevertheless, the motive was prove in court. Itonoko didn't have time to find
out more.
As for the status of the investigation, only Itonoko is actually on the case.
After all, it is a case where the guilty verdict was issued. The evidence is
already gathered perfectly. Mako's testimony conflicts with the "truth".
Itonoko says he has his hands tied tomorrow, so he won't be able to look over
the case material. Itonoko believes Mako wouldn't lie. What is the
discrepancy between Mako's statement and the truth? Itonoko says the
strongest one is the number of people at the table. You know. She says there
was someone else. The Chef and customer say there was only one person. One
more thing. The problem with the CD. Mako said there was a sample CD on the
table, but none was found at that table or the restaurant. The victim was
wearing earphones.
The victim also had a small radio in his chest pocket. This discrepancy, your
imposter could not explain it in court. The chef never said anything about a
CD. He could be hiding something. Show the detective the Sports Newspaper.
He pauses a moment. When he sees the words, "Cleaning Bomber", he asks if he
can have this paper. He will analyze the handwriting on that paper. Do so.
Now show Itonoko the profile of Kaoru Hondobou. Itonoko says, when he met the
chef, he received a bottle of juniper from the chef. Just one thing about
her, I mean him. Give me details. Itonoko doesn't know how to say it, but
the chef may not have anything to do with this case. Itonoko asks to search
out more on the chef and the Tres Bien in his place. If you find anything
suspicious, then report to him.
Return to the Tres Bien via the Detention Cell. You see a woman dressed in
black with bandages over her head. She soon disappears. A voice welcomes
you. She stops when she sees it's you. Mayoi is dressed in a waitress
outfit. She says you are the first customer. What about that dark lady
that was just here moments ago? Mayoi tells you to eat something. How is
it going? Well, she hasn't had a chance to practice. As for lunch, she says
there is a special going for 2980 yen. It's called the "Ni-ku-hachi Set"
(298 set). Too high for you. Mayoi is disappointed. This was going to be
her first chance to practice. She still orders for you anyway.
You look at the menu. Drink, salad, and dessert, 6400 yen? You try to stop
her, but Mayoi is gone. She comes back with the "Mu-shi-rei Set" (640 set).
You ask if Mayoi is hungry. She says very. Give her some to eat. Mayoi
takes a bite, then nearly doubles over. She decides to go clean the
bathrooms. You take this set as evidence. You wonder how do they make such
awful food. Mayoi says you can look in the kitchen. Mako did say there was
something in the kitchen. Mayoi leaves, but you call her back. Take me
there. Once inside the kitchen, search the kitchen counter in the middle.
You find Mayoi's Magatama Jewel laying there. You put it back in your pocket.
Now search the group of boxes you see on the bottom left. It is a whole case
of bottles for aroma therapy. There are 100 small bottles in the case, but
upon closer inspection, there is one bottle that looks different than the
rest. No label, no smell. It is filled with liquid. You take this bottle as
evidence. Return to the restaurant, then go back to Vitamin Plaza. The old
man is gone, but there is a scooter parked nearby the pigeons. Search it to
find out the tire cover and headlights are busted up and dented. Someone
yells at you to get away from his bike.
The guy has pointy hair like you, and he his wearing a gold necklace and he
sports a tiger jacket. He also has a deep tan. He blames you for ruining his
bike. He laughs when he hears you are Ryuuichi Naruhodou. This guy claims he
is the lawyer with that name. Then he rides off on his scooter. You think to
yourself, this guy was the one with the impersonation. Not even close to
being me! You write down the scooter's information for the record. Then the
old man appears again. He was in that strawberry over there doing some
thinking. He still won't talk to you much. Try asking about Mako and the
Tres Bien. He says the food over there is bad. Yet he still goes over there.
As for being a regular customer over there, he just throws beans at you and
three Psycho Locks appear. You don't have enough evidence for now, so return
to the restaurant, then go back to the Police Station. Itonoko says you came
at a good time. He finished the analysis of the handwriting on the paper.
The results say the victim Takao Oka was the writer. This sports paper was
brought in by the victim the day of the murder. Take this as evidence.
Itonoko says he heard it from somewhere, the name Cleaning Bomber. Anyways,
show Itonoko the evidence from the restaurant like you promised. Show him
the Small Bottle that you found in the kitchen area. You explain it has no
smell. It was mixed in with the other aroma therapy bottles and the design is
different from the rest.
You give this bottle to Itonoko for further testing and analysis. Itonoko
says the Chef is suspicious. Itonoko has the lowdown on Hondobou. Let's hear
it. Have you ever ate the lunch special over there? Yes. That's the reason
customers are staying away. The chef is in deep debt. According to this copy
of the borrower, Hondobou is 5 million yen in debt. Take this piece as
evidence. Return to the Tres Bien, then go to Vitamin Plaza. Show the old
man the Magatama to challenge the Psycho Lock. If you hate the restaurant,
then why do you keep going there? He says for the food. You disagree. Show
him the Lunch Special. It is expensive and lousy tasting.
He claims to have money stashed away somewhere. You disagree. Show him the
Job Search Article. He was looking for work, since he needed money. One
lock broken. He claims he comes to the restaurant for the coffee. It is
980 yen. Too much for you. He claims he can read the paper there for free.
You are sorry to say, but he couldn't have read the newspaper everyday. Show
him the sports paper. This was behind the magazine rack at the Tres Bien.
This was the only paper and the date is a month back. There are no papers in
that restaurant. A customer left this behind. Another lock broken.
He claims he isn't hiding anything. Show him the profile of Mako Suzuki as
the real reason he keeps coming to the restaurant. Maybe he didn't look at
the face, but he looked at the waitress's outfit! Psycho Lock broken! The
old man calls himself, Shouhei Igarashi. That's all he would say. If you
could only exploit his weakness, you could get him to talk. You have an idea.
Go back to the Tres Bien. Show Mayoi the profile of Shouhei Igarashi. She
wonders if he's still feeding the pigeons. You tell her no, but you want her
to come anyway. She agrees and is about to change clothes, but you stop her.
You want her to come dressed like that.
When Igarashi see Mayoi, he says... Just a kid! Go play with that slide over
there! Mayoi says, how about this? This gets the attention of the old man.
Mayoi called the spirit of Chihiro. She tells him to talk with her. Igarashi
behaves obediently. Chihiro asks about what he saw. Igarashi says he saw
the customer drinking coffee then later died. He was shocked. The victim was
dressed up funny. A waitress brought the coffee over. She asks if the
customer was alone. Igarashi says yes, there was one person sitting at the
victim's table. After the victim drank the coffee, the victim collapsed. You
believe his telling the truth. He didn't see this "other guy" either.
Chihiro asks about the Tres Bien. Igarashi says eating there reminds him of
his days in London. You think to yourself, London is England, not France!
Chihiro then asks about being a regular there. He says be careful around the
chef. Hondobou has a criminal record. Chihiro asks what it was. Igarashi
says that man has a habit of taking things from customers. Usually petty
stuff like gloves, and handkerchiefs. Hondobou got caught one time and was
arrested. The Igarashi writes something down for Chihiro. It's a note
warning that the cook is a habitual stealer. Take this as evidence. He
leaves. Chihiro says her work is finished here. Chihiro is concerned for
Mayoi, wondering why Mayoi would call her at a time like this.
Return to the Tres Bien restaurant. Mayoi says today's investigation is
almost over. No more waitress? Yes, since there are no customers. The
Chef Hondobou appears. Now it is time to challenge his Psycho Lock. Show
him the jewel to begin. Hondobou says the lottery. The victim had it for
sure, a ticket for 5 million yen. The victim hit the jackpot, but after the
murder, the lottery ticket was gone. That was the reason given in Court as
the motive of Mako. Hondobou didn't tell you this earlier, because he had
a reason. You say this person may have stolen the ticket. Show him his own
profile, Kaoru Hondobou. One lock down.
Hondobou says he is not Kamen Mask. He wouldn't steal. Show him the memo of
Igarashi. It's not a poem, read it seriously. Hondobou did steal things from
customers and even got arrested once. He asks to show the conclusive proof he
did steal from customers. Show him the Magatama Jewel. His habits haven't
changed. You found this jewel in the kitchen. Another lock broken. Hondobou
admits to liking small objects. However, 5 million yen is an extreme amount.
He doesn't need something like that. You say he does. Show him the Loan
Paper from his borrower. Hondobou borrowed 5 million yen. If he got that
lottery ticket, then he could pay off his debt. Psycho Lock Unlock
successful!
As for the ticket, how did the chef know about it? He says the victim was
listening to the radio while wearing earphones. The victim was listening to
the news. The winning numbers of the lottery were going to be announced.
The victim shouted out "I won 5 million!" Hondobou saw some tickets on the
table. The chef needed money so... you put the poison in the coffee?
Hondobou says, no, no, no. He just pulled one ticket from the table. The
victim collapsed, Mako was passed out. He thought it would be alright to
take one ticket. He is about to explain, but someone stops him. It is
Prosecutor Godo. What is he doing here?
Godo says it is a first to taste coffee this sour. Godo tells Hondobou the
victim did hit the jackpot on the lottery. The chef got the wrong number.
Hondobou picked the ticket next to the winning one. It was worth something
like 100 yen. The winning ticket? Godo doesn't know. Godo says,"I never
watch a movie preview. That is my rule. Save the fun for tomorrow."
Godo leaves. Hondobou tries to cheer you up. You throw out the unneeded
evidence, Igarashi's memo. Mayoi has a bad feeling about that money.
Now you have to break the bad news to Mako a second time. End of Day 1
Detective Phase.
9b. Day 1 Courtroom Phase
Day 1 Courtroom Phase. January 7, 9:48 AM, Waiting Room # 1. Mako knows the
odds are against her. She still sticks to her original story that there were
two men at the victim's table. Itonoko comes in to see Mako. He says she
should eat. Itonoko says you will get that Not Guilty verdict. If you
don't, then Itonoko will wring your throat. Itonoko says he will be the
first witness of the day. He'll do his best. Mako says that's the detective
she admired. 10:00 AM, Courtroom # 4. The trial of Mako Suzuki is now in
session. The defense is ready. Godo just drinks his coffee and says it is
bitter. The judge tests you to see if you are for real. He immediately knows
you're not the same guy as the one in the trial of last month.
The judge is satisfied. Now for the opening argument, the floor is yours, Mr.
Godo. Godo says, Maruhodou, whether you are real or fake, today's trial shall
prove it. You say you are the real Naruhodou. Godo says, that's not what he
means. Is this man, called Maruhodou, for real? That's all he cares about.
You can sense it. A strong sense of hostility behind the mask. The judge
reminds both sides that a verdict has been reached in this case previously.
This time there will be no unnecessary sidetracks. The first witness called
to the stand is Itonoko. Godo asks for name and occupation, for the public
record.
His name is the detective, occupation, Keisuke Itonokogiri. Godo says it's
the other way around. Itonoko seems unusually nervous. He became the lead
investigator on this case since yesterday. The original detective assigned to
this case was busy with another case. The judge orders the witness to go over
the basic data of the case. Itonoko says the victim is Takao Oka, a
programmer. He was an employee of the Computer Software Company, Bagudasu.
Here is the autopsy record of the victim. A glance at the autopsy reveals the
victim was poisoned to death by potassium cyanide. The estimated time of
death was around 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM. Now Itonoko directs your attention to
the bird's eye view map.
Out of the four tables, two on the top and two on the bottom row, the victim
was sitting on the upper right corner, on the right hand chair. The coffee
came in from the kitchen and was brought in by the waitress. The waitress in
question being the defendant, Mako. The victim died of poisoning soon after
drinking the coffee. During that time, the ones who were in the shop were,
Chef Hondobou, and Igarashi, the regular customer. Those two. You take the
map of the Tres Bien as evidence. Godo drinks his coffee then tells Itonoko
to put the final nail in the defendant's coffin. In his testimony, Itonoko
says, when the murder occurred, only the victim was at the table. Takao Oka
was listening to the radio.
The poison was detected in the coffee cup. Potassium cyanide, a powerful
poison. Furthermore, the defendant had motive to kill. Godo says, a stylish
woman, to hide the poison in the darkness of the cup. The judge says there is
no room for doubt. For the cross examination, probe right at the beginning.
You say, the defendant's statement conflicts with the witness's testimony.
She saw two guys. Godo objects and says, they would say anything to escape
the crime of murder. Too bad the chef and customer's testimony are like that.
Itonoko says the statement between the two match. Only one person at the
table. You say the witnesses could have missed it due to the shadows or
something.
Godo says how sad, Maruhodou. Here's a ticket... Your present is a ticket to
the Guilty Verdict. Godo says this picture was taken at the entrance to the
kitchen. This is what the chef witnessed the day of the murder. The picture
clearly shows there is only one person at the table, and that's the victim.
Godo asks how could you miss something, looking at this? Take this picture as
evidence. Now probe at the part where the victim was listening to the radio.
You ask what the victim was listening to. Itonoko doesn't know. Inquire
about the poison. Was the poison only found in the cup? Is the poison liquid
or powder? Itonoko says powder. You say that could have been put in sugar,
salt or pepper.
Objection! Godo asks if you put salt and pepper in coffee. Itonoko says the
victim drank his coffee black. You ask if the victim did drink from the cup.
There is no proof the victim drank from the cup. Godo objects. He says that
objection was directed at the witness. Godo slams his coffee and does his
impression of Itonoko. "Ah, Naruhodou!" That's not the way it is. If you
have the time to be impressed, then show that! Yes, that. Like this! Godo
throws his coffee in your face. Itonoko remembers. The coffee cup used by
the victim. Godo says look closely at the lip of the cup. There are marks
of coffee stains to indicate it was used to drink out of.
Godo demonstrates for the court. He takes his cup, and chugs down his coffee.
Itonoko says, on the cup, the victim and defendant's fingerprints are on
there. Take this piece as evidence. Probe at the type of poison. How
potent is the poison? Godo says a lethal dose would be 0.2 grams. Now probe
about Mako's motive. Itonoko says it's just a minor thing. Godo objects and
says to the witness, my rule... Throw away lousy coffee and get a refill.
Itonoko has trouble understanding. Godo says, your refills, any amount is
needed. Tell us the motive. Itonoko says the lottery ticket. That ticket
disappeared from the scene of the crime. Godo says not just an ordinary
ticket, the jackpot is 5 million yen. Mayoi says that's what Hondobou
admitted to yesterday, but he picked the wrong ticket.
Does this mean Mako has the real ticket? Dig deeper. Just because the ticket
is missing, doesn't mean the defendant stole it. Godo says he has the ticket
right here. Itonoko says an officer found it during her search of the crime
scene. When Mako was searched, the ticket was found in her pocket. Order
in the court, order in the court! The judge has to pound the hammer to
restore order in the court. Godo says, what a lucky gal. The judge orders
that ticket into evidence. The judge has seen this the last trial. It's more
heavy this time. Godo says it's a scrap of paper. The important thing is
where that paper was found. On Mako, that's where. The judge says that's
enough.
The case is clear. The defendant had the chance to commit this crime. Godo
says smart man. The judge goes on to say the 5 million yen lottery ticket
provides motive. Godo says, a man lived by the powers of money, I like that.
Mayoi says the evidence is not in our favor. Godo says, it's time to pull the
plug on this re-run, with the conclusive evidence of course. Godo shows a
stained apron. He says, this is the apron worn by our Madonna. The apron
looks like it is stained with coffee and blood. Godo says, that's an absent
minded waitress. She must have spilled the coffee. You say that's not the
point. Godo says, right, the problem is the other thing on the apron. The
pocket.
After the murder, something came out of that pocket during the body search.
A bottle of Potassium Cyanide, the poison used in the murder. The defendant's
fingerprints are on that bottle. Order in the court, order in the court!
After settling down the crowd, the judge takes in the new evidence. The judge
says one thing is strange. Why is there no explanation of the blood stain on
the apron? Godo sips his coffee and says, blood stain? What are you talking
about? The stain right here on the apron. Godo says, that's absurd. He's
never heard of that. Godo asks Itonoko about it. Itonoko says the stain on
the apron is ketchup. It got on there when Mako carried the Morning Set.
The judge says, why didn't you say so earlier?
Godo says to Itonoko, "If you do that again, I'll make you drink 17 cups of
ketchup!" The judge says the last verdict of this trial was right. Chance,
evidence, and motive are all here. Godo says it seems, Maruhodou, you are
a fake after all! You can do nothing except curse to yourself. The judge
orders the witness to continue the testimony. This time, it's about the
findings of the case, and the ensuing investigation. In the testimony,
Itonoko says he got the report from an old man at around 2:26 PM. Mako was
passed out on the floor. The victim didn't have personal identification.
The good thing was, they soon found out who the victim was, so the
investigation went smoothly.
Mako was body searched. A lottery ticket and poison bottle was discovered.
There was nothing else missing from the crime scene. Godo says, it's your
last chance to show the difference between real and fake. This could be the
last cross exam, so make it fun, Mr. Lawyer. In the cross exam, about the
part where he says he soon found out the victim's ID, probe there. Itonoko
says on the table of the victim, there were lottery tickets and a medicine
bag. Godo says, before coming to the Tres Bien, Takao Oka went to the
doctor. The bag provided information on the victim, says Itonoko. Ask more
about the medicine bag. Namely what was inside? Itonoko says there was
nothing inside. Empty, huh? Take that as evidence.
Godo says, are you happy with your journey on the empty trail? With this
new piece of evidence, show it at the part where Itonoko says nothing else
was missing from the scene. There was something missing, the victim's
medicine bag, or more precisely, the contents of the bag. Itonoko never found
the medicine. You say the victim received the medicine from the doctor before
coming. The bag shouldn't be empty! The judge says in the last trial, there
was no mention of the bag. You say the victim was killed by poison. The
victim's medicine is missing. The missing medicine could have been the
poison! What is Godo's opinion of this?
Godo says read the name of the doctor on the bag, carefully. "Ear and Nose
Specialist?" The judge asks what kind of illness did the victim have? Godo
says it's not really sickness, but more like the bitter spoils of war. The
day before the murder, the victim got in an argument with someone. As a
result, Takao's eardrum was busted after the fight. As for the prescribed
medicine, it was to be taken externally into the ear itself. It is not a
medicine to drink, says Godo. Godo then says, it's all written in the
autopsy, in fine print. Traces of the medicine were found inside the victim's
left ear. It seems Takao Oka used the medicine inside the Tres Bien
restaurant.
It wouldn't make sense to drink it. So this medicine is not related to the
case, says the judge. You are sweating heavily now. You decide to pursue
further into the matter. Godo did say that Takao used the medicine in the
restaurant. So why did the medicine disappear? If there is even a little
doubt, then the defense will continue trial. Godo says you know the medicine
is meaningless. You and I both know that. A medicine prescribed by a
doctor would not contain poison! You argue, coffee brought a waitress also
shouldn't contain poison! It did, so the possibility doesn't change. The
judge asks if the detective is the only witness planned by the prosecution.
Godo is speechless for a moment. Itonoko says he brought a witness with him
this morning.
The old man who was there at the scene of the crime. The judge issues a 10
minute break. The prosecution shall prepare the next witness. Godo says
it seems like the decision will be made within 6 cups. Same Day, 11:03 AM,
Waiting Room # 1. Mayoi says that was close. Mako calls Itonoko a traitor.
He said he would rescue me, but instead he choked my neck! Mako says she is
used to lies and betrayal, but this crosses the line. She doesn't want to
see Itonoko's face again. As for the next witness, it's Igarashi, the lover
of waitresses and beans.
11:15 AM, Courtroom # 4. The trial resumes. Godo says, the next witness is
a lucky old man. He can just sit back and watch the show while drinking
coffee. Godo asks, who are you? The witness says, Shouhei Igarashi. He was
at the crime scene that day. Godo says, tell the court what you saw, I'll
listen. In the testimony, Igarashi says the customer was reading the sports
section of the newspaper. A waitress brought the coffee over to the customer.
Prior to that, she put something in the cup. The moment the customer drank
the coffee, he was in pain, then he collapsed. The waitress was the
defendant, he remembers it well.
For the cross exam, start probing at the beginning. In the restaurant, a
divider separates the tables. So if the witness saw the victim, then the
witness was sitting on the other side of the victim, on the bottom right
corner, according to the map. Igarashi claims to be at the shop for coffee.
He doesn't remember where he sat. He did see the waitress put something in
the cup. Dig deeper to make him add to the testimony. What exactly did she
put in the drink? Igarashi says white powder. About the victim, he died
after taking a sip. Igarashi says his coffee went sour after seeing this.
Godo understands the feeling.
As for the defendant, what was she wearing? He wouldn't know, not even the
uniform? Any other characteristics? Add this to the testimony. Igarashi
says there was a ribbon tied to the hair, and the strings to the apron was
untied. Probe deeper to ask about the face. Godo objects and says the
witness saw the cords to the apron, the face wouldn't be far off. The ribbon
was red, says Igarashi. Godo says, yes, there's no problem with the witness's
observation. Now what about the back? The witness didn't see from the front.
Godo agrees, the witness saw what he saw. You say, when asked for
characteristics, the normal answer would be the face. The witness says the
strings on the back and ribbon.
Igarashi says he did see. The judge says add that to the testimony. The
characteristics from the front. Igarashi says, looking at the front, there
was nothing strange to catch his eye. Now, show him the apron. This is the
one worn by the defendant. How could the witness say there was nothing to
catch his eye, when there are coffee and ketchup stains? So this means the
witness only saw the back of the waitress! Godo says it seems this trial is
finally becoming a reality. Listen Maruhodou, there is one truth here. At
the time of the murder, there was only one waitress at the restaurant. The
defendant, Mako. The moment she put the poison in the coffee, this witness
saw it.
Tell us only the things you clearly remember. The judge orders the witness
to testify about the victim. In the testimony, Igarashi says the victim was
a young man, wearing strange sunglasses. He casually flipped the paper with
his right hand. He also was listening to the radio. That's when a waitress
came with the coffee. The young man took the cup with his open hand and
drank. For the cross exam, on the part where he says the victim drank from
the open hand, show the Coffee Cup. This testimony was to test the memory of
the witness. The victim turned the newspaper with the right hand, while the
open hand, the left hand, held the cup. Easy math, huh? The problem is, on
the cup, the coffee stains are on the front lip, with the handle to the right.
The victim drank from the right hand! Igarashi says, listen to me, he is
certain the victim drank from the left hand. Godo allows him to talk some
more. Just remember, this coffee is cup 16, there is no next cup. In the
testimony, Igarashi says, the victim had the radio's earphone in the ear
that held the glasses. Then he adjusted the earphone. He adjusted it before
drinking the coffee. Using the same hand, he drank the coffee, the left hand.
The judge says the victim is wearing a strange eye piece in the left eye.
Godo says that's not a broken eyeglass. It is a miniature monitor. On the
inner lens, it displays computer information.
For the cross exam, right at the beginning, where he says the radio's earphone
is in the same ear as the eye glass, show him the profile of Takao Oka. You
don't know what this contradiction means, but this is unnatural. The
earphone was in the same ear as the mono spectacle, the left ear. That cannot
be. Remember, the victim's eardrum was torn! The medicine he took was
detected in his left ear. So why would someone put a earpiece in a ear that
was deaf? Is this true, admiral? asks Igarashi to Godo. Godo says yes. The
witness promised to sing if he was wrong. You say, this witness's testimony
is a mess. He only saw the back of a waitress, and the victim put a earphone
in a ear that couldn't hear. Godo's mask is smoking up.
Godo says, the best way to muddy the darkness in the cup is to add a drop of
milk. This witness is that milk. Igarashi says don't call me a drop,
Admiral! The judge offers the cup that showed traces of poison in it. It is
clear the right hand used it. Igarashi still insists it was the left hand.
Godo says, probably the victim used both hands. He drank with the right, then
switched hands. That's what this witness saw. Objection! You say it has
been said over and over in the testimony, the victim died soon after drinking
the coffee! Godo argues the hand that drinks the coffee is the same thing
either way. The one important things is, the victim drank the coffee like
this! Godo chugs down his own cup of coffee.
You argue, that's not true. The testimony's objective was to test the memory
of the witness. The results are clear. This witness's testimony is not
applicable! Godo spits out his coffee. The judge says today's trial has gone
as far as it should be. The witness doesn't seems to be lying, but the
testimony seems messed up. The judge orders the defense and prosecution to
continue the investigation. Trial is closed for the day. Igarashi says,
wait! There is something he kept quiet about. He admits it may not be much,
but he wants another crack at it. Godo says, sorry, he's already finished
his 17th cup. Igarashi says, then come to my store, you can drink all the
coffee you want.
In the final battle of the day, Igarashi testifies that first off, it
probably isn't a big deal. The moment the victim drank the coffee, the
victim fell on the desk. Doing so, he also knocked over the flower vase.
The vase broke, causing the tablecloth to get soaked. How's that? Try
turning this over! For the cross exam, in the part where he says the flower
vase broke, show him the Crime Scene Photo. See the victim's table? The
flower vase is standing. The witness remembers something. The broken
flower vase was his own table! He tries to tell more, but the judge orders
the court officials to move this witness off the stand. Then he says there is
not enough evidence at this point to make a ruling.
The waitress that poisoned the cup. The identity is not certain it was the
defendant. Plus there are two major conflicts. The left hand drinking the
coffee plus the coffee mug stains, and the earphone in the left ear. Further
investigation is required. Before ending the day, the judge takes Igarashi's
Written Testimony, and enters it into evidence. Godo says, do what you like
with it, the prosecution side won't need that. You take the evidence.
Court is adjourned! End of Day 1 Courtroom Phase.
9c. Day 2 Detective Phase
Day 2 Detective Phase. January 7, 12:52 PM, Naruhodou's Office. Mayoi
mentions about today's trial. It seems it has gotten unnecessarily
complicated. What are you going to do about Igarashi's statement? Let's
head on over to the Tres Bien. Don't forget about Mako too. Mayoi wonders
about your imposter. You have some idea. Head on over to the Detention
Cell. Mako is being questioned, so go to the Police Station. Itonoko is not
here, but something feels different. The officers here seem to be in
distress. Go to the Tres Bien Restaurant. No customers are here, but Itonoko
is here. He seems to be listening to something. Come on number 8! No, 8
is only 500 yen. Itonoko is eating the 298 set.
As for today's courtroom appearance, he says he can't bear to see Mako's face
again. Itonoko wonders what Mako said. When he hears the comments, Itonoko
bashes his head against the wall. About the lunch, he says it is a first for
a meal this expensive (compared to his regular diet of Somen noodles). It has
a strange taste. Is it that awful? Itonoko says yes, that's the word he was
looking for. Mayoi wonders if the victim came for the lunch set. Speaking of
the victim, you want more information. As for the radio, Itonoko says he was
just listening to the exercises. Psycho Lock appears. Show him the Magatama
Jewel to begin unlock process.
You have some idea what Itonoko was listening to. Show him the Victim's
Lottery Ticket. Itonoko was listening for the winning numbers of the lottery!
Unlock success! That was quick. Itonoko thought he could hit it big like the
victim did. Itonoko did get 50 yen. You wonder what time it is now. Itonoko
says, it's just past 1:30 PM. The lottery numbers are always announced at
this time. Itonoko has a pamphlet he got at the ticket stand. Take this
leaflet as evidence. Show Itonoko the profile of Takao Oka. Itonoko says
this man is known as the walking computer. It would seem the victim and
defendant have nothing to do with one another. There's nothing to connect the
two. Itonoko does know the location of the company the victim worked at
before his death.
It is called Bagudasu Company. It is close to this restaurant. Go there now
that you know the way. At Bagudasu, you sense a feel for the high-tech. A
robotic woman greets you. She is Keiko Koike, president of this company
(her name is an palindrome, just like the victim). She's wearing the same
kind of eye piece the victim was wearing. About this company, they analyze
data system management. The programs they make are burned to CD and sold.
As for the night of the murder, Keiko says the police were here. The waitress
in question doesn't seem to be related to this company. She saw the disk of
the victim.
You can look around here. Search the drawers to find a bunch of tickets.
These are all horse racing tickets. None seem to be winning tickets. Take
this as evidence. Search the victim's desk to find a calendar. On December
3rd, there is a red mark. That's the day the victim was killed. It says,
"Meet with Zenitora". Take this calendar as evidence. Show Keiko the
profile of Takao Oka. She says he was a superior programmer, it's just the
personality leaves something to be desired. Some trouble... When you ask
about this trouble, she denies it at first. She did say his loose attitude
was the cause of some trouble. Psycho Lock jumps out at you. You don't have
enough evidence yet, so continue your search by returning to the Tres Bien.
Enter the Kitchen Area. The chef is talking with someone. It's that lady
dressed in black. She says she will be back next month. If she doesn't get
it the next time, the place will burn. She likes seeing fire. She warns
the chef not to betray her. She is watching. If he dares to talk, she
threatens to stab him with a knife. Chef Hondobou offers her some Sandalwood
Perfume, but she says she likes sashimi. She leaves with her distinct giggle.
Talk to the chef about that lady. Oh, so you saw that. She seems graceful.
She likes chopped fish and fire. By the way the conversation went, you have
an idea what the conversation was about. Show Hondobou the debt papers. He
has to make his monthly payments, and he helped with "that".
Chef Hondobou can't talk, or else he is chopped fish. Ask again about that
lady. He wonders how he got into this mess. As you guessed, that lady is
from the Loan Company. It's the place where he borrowed the 5 million from.
The place is called "Kariyoze". The chef tells Mayoi if you are going to
borrow from them, make it only 1000 yen. About that company, he owes this
guy 5 million. The chef cannot disobey his loaner. This guy is the
Zenitora of Naniwa. He is the company president and scary too. When he
yells at you in his Osaka dialect, the ringing in your ears can last 3 days.
Just the sound of that scooter can make Hondobou cry. Does this remind you
of somebody you know?
This guy wouldn't happen to look just like me, would he? The hair looks
similar. You figure it is time to visit this loan company. Hondobou says the
Loan Company is just beyond the Vitamin Plaza. Mayoi asks if you would loan
her some money, say 300 yen. When you return to the dining area, Itonoko says
he will return to the police station. He's got a meeting to attend to. Not
Mako's case, but another big case has popped up. After saying bye-bye, he
leaves, then comes back. He has a favor. Give Mako this. Itonoko shows you
the Bentou he made. Wieners and rice. Next time you see her, you'll deliver
this to her.
Visit the Vitamin Plaza. Igarashi is not here, but the scooter is. Move on
to the Loan Company Kariyoze. The place looks empty. A voice greets you.
It's a dark voice that could kill. It's the black lady you saw at the Tres
Bien. She thinks you're here for a loan. The head of the company is out,
please wait. She leaves then returns with some tea. She tells you not to
touch the desk. On cue, as soon as she leaves, search the desk to find a CD
player with a shiny gold disc inside. Mayoi wonders what kind of music this
Zenitora listens to. The lady returns and asks if you finished drinking the
tea. Mayoi is scared at this lady's sudden appearance and disappearance.
You say the tea is fine. She says you drank it? If you touch anything else,
she'll make you drink another cup.
Mayoi says her stomach aches. Take a look at the CD. It's a sample. The
band name is written in label in pen. "Cleaning Bomber". This must be the
CD Mako was talking about. Mayoi wants to hear the rock and roll, but you
don't want another cup of tea. Write this for the evidence record. Search
the floor to find an overturned ashtray. Nearby, there is a box of matches.
It has the letters for Tres Bien written on them! Take this as evidence.
Return to the Vitamin Plaza. Igarashi is here. About today's courtroom
appearance, Igarashi says don't mind me. He still sticks by his original
statement. As for his work as a crest painter, he says his ancestors were
craftsmen. Mayoi is similar. Igarashi's complaints have grown into the
force of a tidal wave.
You decide to hear him out. He feels like a courier, doing this and that.
He understands buying toufu, but feeding beans to the pigeons? What the
hell is that? He talks about how he has a shop of his own. That day when
the victim died, he had an errand to run. At the Tres Bien that day, when the
victim and defendant were down, he broke the flower vase. His head was blank
with white. The chef called him. Hondobou asked Igarashi to call the
police. Igarashi shot back, call them yourself! Igarashi then called the
police using the public phone just outside the restaurant. It took about five
minutes to find. So in that time, at the Tres Bien, the chef was watching the
place alone.
You ask why didn't he say this in court today? Igarashi says he was going to,
but he was forced off the chair. With this information, there is a blank
space in the time interval before the police arrived. In the restaurant, the
victim, defendant and the chef where the only ones there. Igarashi was
ordered out of the place. You decide you need to see the chef and defendant.
Go back to the Tres Bien Kitchen. The chef is not here. In the few minutes
after Igarashi left the building, the chef was alone. Now go to the Detention
Cell. Mako is at the visiting room. She is pleased with today's trial. She
will stay up all night to write her diary. Mako admits her views clash with
the other testimonies.
Mako swears there were two sitting at the table. The other man put powder in
the coffee. Igarashi says the waitress put the powder it. Mako then talks
about the CD that disappeared. As for what happened afterward, when she woke
up, the place was swarming with cops. That's when she was arrested. So the
time after the murder to the time she was arrested, there was a blank space.
The witness Igarashi was driven out of the restaurant during that time to call
the police. Only the chef was there. Show her the profile of Shouhei
Igarashi. Mako says one thing is weird with his testimony, When Mako brought
the coffee to the table, there was one more customer in the restaurant. It
was someone other than Igarashi.
It was a lady. She laughed in a funny way. Sound familiar? Show Mako
Itonoko's Bentou. From you? No, Itonoko made this for Mako. Mako says too
bad, no food is allowed in the Detention Cell. Rules are rules. Do you want
to get arrested? No, besides, Mako hates sausages. She says Mayoi can eat
it. You hate to see it spoil. Now head on over to the police station. The
officers here are still in distress. It seems like the computers have gone
haywire. Itonoko appears and greets you. He says now's not a good time.
A computer virus has spread throughout the network. Ask Itonoko about the
Loan Company Kariyoze. He says don't even think about borrowing from there.
No, you're not interested in a loan. You want more information on the
company.
Itonoko says, in the financial community, they are a shady company. Recently,
they have been strapped for money. It's better not to stick your head in
their affair. If she glares at you, it's all over. Who is she? As for the
virus, Itonoko doesn't know much, so you explain it's a program designed to
destroy computers internally. The police station's computers have records on
cases. Now they are crippled and gone. Now it's spreading like a disease.
Who would create such a program? Itonoko jokes that if you sneezed on Godo,
maybe you could give him a cold. Itonoko says this virus has a name, but he
can't quite remember it. Show Itonoko the Cleaning Bomber CD.
Itonoko says yes, that's it! The scribbles on the sport's paper and the CD.
Cleaning Bomber, that is the name of the computer virus! That's the one
that's spreading around the place. About the virus, information has been
circulating for some time. The higher ranking police squad got involved in
some group. The group demanded to bargain, otherwise the virus would be
released into the wild. The group was some underground society. So now the
infection has exploded. It's now a festival. A skilled programmer must have
created this. Itonoko is desperately searching out the black market to find
out who sold this product. This program was well made.
In terms of money, this program could command money in the hundred million
range! Rewrite the information on the CD for your records. Return to the
Kariyoze Company. Search the blue coat you see hanging on the rack. It looks
like your own suit! (I forgot to do this earlier). The lady brings some
senbei crackers for you to eat. Mayoi found something on the collar of the
suit. It looks like a lawyer's badge. The thing is, this badge is made out
of cardboard! Take this as evidence. It looks like a cheap imitation of your
own badge. Then a loud voice freezes you. Mayoi hides under the desk.
Zenitora is here. This is his office. He blames you for staining his carpet
with ashes. The lady with the bandages returns and apologizes to Zenitora.
She knocked over the ashtray. You think Zenitora is about to explode, but he
is nice and calm to Urami-chan. She brought some biscuits and poured another
pot of tea. Now back to business. Ryuuichi Naruhodou. He is impressed the
real one is here. Then he abruptly leaves. The lady shows up with some tea
and biscuits. Talk to Urami-chan about the company. She says they are
friends with small to middle sized companies. It is one of the brighter
companies in the dark financial world. Mayoi admits, our own office is in
need of a little help. You ask what will happen if the payments are late.
Urami says you will drink some really thick tea.
As for the case, about the guy that was killed by poison. She says she
was there with the leader. The leader was Zenitora. Yes, Toranosuke
Shibakuzou. Show her Zenitora's profile. She says first have a biscuit.
She baked it for you. Mayoi says you go first, but you say Mayoi should eat
it first. Urami says they are lovers. Tora-sama is her life's benefactor.
You mean Zenitora? Urami says please call him Tora-sama, otherwise... Okay,
okay. Tora-sama. Urami says her body was weak from the beginning. She died
once, about 4 months ago. The doctors said it was hopeless. That's when
Tora-sama came to the rescue. Mayoi says that's hard to believe.
As for the head wrap, this was post surgery. Urami had a fatal wound. It was
sustained at the time of her first death. Four Psycho Locks appear. You
don't have enough evidence for now. Return to the Police Station. Show
Itonoko the profile of Urami. Itonoko says stay away from her, if possible.
Her name is Urami Shikabane. The grand-daughter of Gonta Shikabane. Gonta
is the leader of the feared Shikabane Clan. Even the police are powerless
against them. They are a scary group. They hold absolute power in the
underground society. The Shikabane Group has many assets. So much so,
Itonoko can't reach them.
They pretty much gathered all the companies in the dark financial world, and
now they are profiting off it. Itonoko almost forgot the most important
part. The Bentou. Mayoi says it is delicious. Itonoko says good, he made
some more. He can't wait to see Mako's face. Mayoi holds it. Go to the
Detention Cell, then go to the Tres Bien Restaurant. From there, visit the
Bagudasu Company. It's time to challenge Keiko's Psycho Lock, Takao's
Trouble. She says there's no trouble. Show her the Horse Racing Tickets.
Keiko's says, so Takao liked gambling, but so does everyone. There's
something else other than racing. Show her the Lottery Ticket of the victim.
It was bought in quantity, and lost in qualities of money. One lock broken.
So the victim hit the jackpot, where's the trouble? There's proof the victim
was short on money. Show her the Calendar of Takao. On the day of the
murder, Takao met with someone, like it says on the calendar, meet with
Zenitora. Then who is this Zenitora? Show her the profile of Toranosuke
Shibakuzou. He is the president of a loan company. The victim met with
Zenitora to discuss a loan. Second lock broken. Keiko says, the gambling
caused the victim to be in debt. About 10 million yen in debt. He hit the
50 million yen jackpot. What if he didn't hit the jackpot, what would he
do? A program. Show her the Cleaning Bomber CD. It's the virus that has
put the computer world in chaos. Psycho Lock broken. Success!
The virus called gambling destroyed the victim. He was in debt.
10 million. So he took a risk. The virus he created, the Cleaning Bomber,
that's worth a few hundred million in the black market. The date on this
calendar, 12-3, which was the last day to pay off the debt. You revise the
information on the Cleaning Bomber in the evidence file. You won't need
the horse racing stubs anymore. Now go back to the Loan Company Kariyoze.
Search the Daruma Statue in the room to find a piece of paper. It's a
receipt on a repair done to a car. The car's owner is the Shikabane Clan.
Take this as evidence. It is time to unlock Urami's Psycho Lock. You know
the drill.
The bandage on her head was post surgery. A fatal wound to the head. So she
was injured. You have an idea where it came from. Show her the Repair Bill.
It was a car accident, right? The recipient is the Shikabane Clan. She
doesn't remember introducing herself. How is she related? Show her the
profile of Gonta Shikabane. One lock broken. Four months ago, someone jumped
in front of that car. Some kind of bike. What happened to the one on the
bike? She doesn't know. You have an idea who it was. Show her the profile
of Toranosuke Shibakuzou. Urami says no, not Tora-sama. Another lock broken.
The auto-bike came into contact with our car. However, Tora-sama wasn't
injured. You have proof Zenitora was in an accident.
Show her the Scooter. It wasn't an auto-bike, but a scooter. The one
Zenitora rides on. The scooter was damaged when it crashed into car Urami
rode in. Third lock broken. On the repair bill, the payer is Zenitora.
Urami thought so. Tora-sama did save her life. The surgery was complicated
and expensive. Zenitora paid for it. He did it for Urami-chan. You think it
was not for her. Show her the profile of Gonta Shikabane. He is the boss of
the financial world. He lives for his grand-daughter. The cost of surgery.
If it wasn't Gonta's grand-daughter, then Shibakuzou would not have paid for
it. One hundred million yen. Psycho Lock unlock successful!
Urami says, four months ago, the car accident happened. Surgery came next.
She realized it was not as serious surgery as she once thought. The cost of
the surgery was one hundred million yen. Gonta asked Tora-sama to pay.
The one hundred million was used to settle this problem. Now you start to see
how this ties in with the murder case at hand. Urami wanted to believe
Tora-sama's words. She thought it was her and only her as the reason. From
the beginning, she knew it was going to be that way. To pay off this one
hundred million, Tora-sama did something horrible. So she helped him. She
gives you a medical record. It says the due date for the cost of surgery,
one hundred million yen, was the end of last year. Take this as evidence.
There are two things you won't forgive. The poison and betrayal. It's time
to go, well, after some tea. Return to the Tres Bien. Hondobou is there.
Before you can talk, Zenitora stops you. Mayoi quickly hides under the
table. Zenitora says give the medical records to him. Remember, Urami did
say "help" Zenitora. You refuse to give him the records. So he will take
them by force. 2 on 1. Hondobou is in part of this. The chef says he is
sorry. He can't betray Zenitora. You fall to the floor after they charge
at you. Zenitora takes the medical records. He tells Hondobou to bring a
lighter. Zenitora wants this piece of evidence to burn before it gets to
court. Itonoko comes just in time. He tells you to get out. He'll handle
this. If you don't get out, nobody can save Mako. Itonoko gives back the
medical records. Get ready for court tomorrow. End of Day 2 Detective
Phase.
9d. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 1
Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 1. January 8, 9:46 AM, Waiting Room # 1. Mako
greets you good morning. She asks how today will be. Yesterday's mysteries
have not been solved. It's almost time. Mako leaves to go to her seat in
the defendant's chair. Before that, Itonoko shows up. He has something for
you. A bottle. Mayoi is surprised Itonoko was into aroma therapy. Itonoko
says no, it's the bottle you gave him two days ago. It is the mystery
bottle found in the Tres Bien Kitchen. The results are in for the contents
of the bottle. There is no poison inside. Just medicine. It is one that
is taken externally, for the ear.
It is the medicine prescribed to the victim, Takao Oka for his torn eardrum.
You wonder what that was doing in the kitchen. You have a feeling today's
court appearance will answer that. Take the bottle as evidence. Itonoko
says there are unknown fingerprints on that bottle. The experts only had
time to analyze to contents of the bottle. If he had another hour, he could
investigate the identity of the fingerprints. You say this will have to do.
10:00 AM, Courtroom # 4. The trial of Mako Suzuki is now in session. The
defense is ready. Godo says we are ready... to close this trial. The judge
says yesterday, the witness Igarashi testified Mako put some powder into the
coffee. There were a few spots in it. Godo says, the cup shows that the
victim drank it with the right hand. The witness claims to have seen the
victim drink with the left hand. The judge says furthermore, the witness
says the victim was listening to the radio in the deaf ear. This testimony
has many conflicts. Godo says, "Judge. I'll tell you something nice. The
world turns, and so do we. Yesterday's mysteries are today's mysteries.
That way of thinking is no longer invited. The era shall change. That is
my rule."
The judge asks if Godo has the answers to the contradictions. Godo says the
bean throwing witness also threw out the truth. That is what Godo will prove.
The first witness for the day is Chef Hondobou. Godo says this witness was
in the kitchen of the restaurant at the time of the murder. Godo is not
impressed with the come-ons by the witness. The judge orders the witness to
testify what happened at the Tres Bien the time of the murder. In his
testimony, Hondobou says when the murder occurred, there were two customers.
That day, he was modeling the interior. Between the tables, a large mirror
was placed. Igarashi must have been looking at that mirror. The cup's hand,
earphone, and eye piece all reversed left and right.
You ask incredulously, mirror? Godo says this proves it. The world turns and
so do we. In the cross examination, probe at the part where he talks about
the mirror. Hondobou says, the width is about 4 inches, height about 2
meters. He planned to put it on the ceiling. You say, if the mirror that big
were in the store, other people should have testified about it! Godo objects,
too bad you never asked, Maruhodou. The day before the murder, that mirror
was there at the restaurant. You wonder if the mirror really was inside the
restaurant. While thinking, Godo says, if you are going to stare, do so at
the man in the mirror. For sure he will stare back at you. You wonder,
normally, wouldn't someone notice a mirror like that?
Objection by Godo. Godo says, "`Normally` you say? Do you know the weight of
that word? It is worse than the weeping words of a peace ideologist!" You
ask, what does that mean? Godo says, "Normally doesn't make any sense. If
you believe that, then the spiky haired lawyer, the lady with the knotted
bun, and the prosecutor with the mask. There would be no place for us!"
You can only stare with disbelief. It is time to point out the contradiction
in the testimony. At the point were Hondobou says, everything is reversed
left and right, show him the profile of Takao Oka. The witness claims
everything is reversed. Remember the testimony of Igarashi? The earphone
was in the same ear as the one wearing the eye piece. The left ear.
If that figure were reflected on a mirror, then the earphone and eye piece
would show on the right ear. Here is where the conflict arises. If
Igarashi saw the victim through the mirror, then why is the eye piece the
only thing not switched left and right? Godo objects. After drinking his
coffee, he says bitterness, the sooner you understand this taste, the quicker
you will become an adult, Maruhodou. You don't know this witness's
personality. See Igarashi's statement? The old man has a habit of making
wrong guesses. The victim's outstanding feature is the eye piece. The old
man said "I saw the earphone with the glasses together on the left ear."
So, how was Godo's imitation of the witness? Mayoi says good.
Godo says, mirrors do not eat beans, nor do they lie. So what did the old
man see? Godo will listen to the testimony of the witness. Hondobou says
look at the map. In his testimony, Hondobou says, the mirror was placed
between the two rows of tables. There's only one seat the victim could be
seen through the mirror (That would be the seat in the upper left corner).
That's the seat next to the victim's. The murder happened, then the mirror
was moved. Nothing else was touched. For the cross exam, at the part where
he says nothing else was touched, Show him the Crime Scene Photo. Something
is shown here that shouldn't be. Godo has an idea. The judge asks you to
point to the spot in question.
Point to the flower vase on the left hand side of the picture. The judge does
not see the significance. You say, this vase shouldn't be there. Show him
the testimony of Igarashi. He said, he broke the flower vase at his own
table. However, in the seat beside the victim's, the vase is still there!
Igarashi's seat was not next to the victim's! Godo objects and says that does
not make sense. There's no other seat to see the victim through the mirror.
You agree. Then there is only one answer. There was no mirror in the Tres
Bien! Hondobou's testimony is a big lie! Godo argues the broken vase was
cleaned up. You argue the witness Hondobou said he didn't touch anything
except the mirror.
Godo chugs down his coffee. The judge says we are back to square one. Why
would the victim put the earphone in the deaf ear? Godo says, "Life is a
one shot contest. Re-do is unacceptable. If you are undecided on the mirror,
Maruhodou, answer this. What the hell did the old man see?" You know the
answer to that will bring you one step closer to the truth. This case has
many inconsistencies. Mako said there were two at the victim's table. There
also was a CD on the table. Igarashi's testimony is out of sync with the one
by Mako. There is only one answer to all this. The judge wants to hear it.
You say, the victim was a fake! The case Igarashi saw and the case Mako saw
are two different things!
In the one Igarashi saw, the "victim" was not Takao Oka. Somebody pretended
to be the victim. An imposter whose left eardrum was not torn. That's why
the earphone was in the left ear! Godo takes a sip of his coffee, then spits
it out. The judge pounds the hammer down to restore order in the court. Godo
suggests that the judge leave the court. So the murder the old man saw was
faked, for the witness to see. Godo argues, for what reason? You say, the
important part in Igarashi's testimony is where he says, the waitress put the
poison in the coffee. He remembers who it was. Igarashi was shown the fake
murder in order to create a spot to show Mako's moment of crime.
Godo asks if this Mako Suzuki was also a fake. There was no one else inside.
The chef was. He should have seen something. You tell the witness to testify
to see if it is a fake. The judge favors the request of the defense. In the
testimony, Hondobou says, the victim, Monsieur Takao came alone to the
restaurant. Soon after that, the old man Igarashi came to the restaurant.
There were no other customers inside. Monsieur Takao hit the jackpot in the
lottery and was excited. Five minutes later, he collapsed. There was no
time to create a fake drama. The judge says, so there was no mirror.
Hondobou is sorry. False testimony is a crime, remember. That will be dealt
with later on.
The defense may cross examine the witness. You think to yourself, fake
testimony is only the tip of the iceberg. When Hondobou says, the old man
came in soon after, probe to find Igarashi understands coffee. Godo says he
drank that coffee before, once. Surely it has excellent taste. It's worth a
sip, but nothing more. Ask what time did they come in? Hondobou doesn't
remember. In yesterday's testimony, Itonoko said the call came in at 2:25
PM. Hondobou says from the arrival of the people to the murder took 20
minutes, so the time would be 2 to 2:10 PM. The judge orders that part to
be added to the testimony. Probe the new statement to find out that's when
lunch service ended.
How about that, just the thing you are looking for. Show him the Leaflet of
Millionaire Radio. The victim was wearing earphones the time of the murder,
listening to the radio. According to the Millionaire Radio Leaflet, a weekly
drawing is held. The winning numbers for the 50 million yen prize were
announced. Takao was listening to that program. The judge sees nothing
wrong. So the customer came in at 2 PM right? Yes. This radio program
starts at 1:30 PM and runs for ten minutes. The victim hit the jackpot. It
doesn't make sense to listen to a program that went off the air 30 minutes
ago! This so called victim is acting in strange ways. A radio that couldn't
be heard, listening to a program that already ended. There's only one answer
to summarize the case. It's all an act! One 30 minutes after the real
murder!
That day, there were two of Takao Oka. The real Takao Oka died of poisoning.
The other was there to create a witness out of Igarashi, the fake Takao.
That's why there's a difference in time! Godo objects and says "You are
riding high aren't you, Maruhodou? The thing you are riding on is an
eight-beat, the rhythm of a childish brat!" Godo says, according to your
outrageous belief, at 2:00 PM, the fake victim played his role to create a
witness out of Igarashi. Then where was the real Takao? You say, the real
one was already dead. Godo says you have taken the bait. You can prove
this, right? Where did the body disappear to? Godo says the old man
testified there was only one customer inside. If that customer was the
fake Takao, then where did the criminal hide the real body?
The judge agrees with the prosecution. Godo says show the proof. Now your
back is against the wall. Where is the real body? You say somewhere inside
the Tres Bien. Where exactly? On the map, point to the Kitchen Area. Godo
says prove it. Show him the Small Bottle. Hondobou doesn't know that battle.
This bottle was found in the kitchen of the Tres Bien. This bottle doesn't
have an aroma at all. It is the ear medicine of the victim. Godo doesn't
believe it. This was the medicine prescribed by the Ear and Nose doctor that
the victim went to prior to coming to the restaurant. The criminal hid the
real body of Takao in the kitchen. That's when this dropped out of the
victim's pocket.
Hondobou was in the kitchen at the time of the murder. Hondobou hid the body.
He pretended to help the defendant, but he also made her the criminal!
Order in the court, order in the court, order in the court! After the judge
settles down the crowd, he asks the witness if he killed Takao Oka. Hondobou
says, no! Godo drinks down his coffee. Godo says it was bitter. For every
lie he hears, he will drink down a whole cup of coffee. That is one of Godo's
many rules. As for the bastard who said the lie, he shall drink this empty
cup! Mister Chef, this cups for you! Hondobou says please hear him out.
Godo will ask this only once, did you do it? Hondobou says absolutely no.
Godo then allows him to talk. If this witness lies, then the witness will
have to swallow Godo's Cup and the Judge's Hammer.
Hondobou understands. In the testimony, Hondobou admits to hiding the body in
the kitchen. Some guy ordered him to do it. Hondobou had to help, there was
a reason he couldn't refuse. However, Hondobou says he didn't kill, believe
me. Hondobou can't say who he helped. Then how about the time Takao Oka was
killed, was there only the victim at the table? Hondobou says there was one
other guy there. So Mako's belief was true. For the cross exam, you know you
must get the name of the real criminal. At the point where he says, that guy
ordered me to do it, Hondobou won't say who it is, so you have to tell him
yourself. Show him the profile of Toranosuke Shibakuzou. The judge seems to
recognize this man. Maybe, just maybe this guy stood here in court a month
ago.
This man is the president of the loan company, Kariyoze. There is no need to
hide anymore. The witness couldn't disobey Zenitora as long as he had this.
Show him the loan papers of Hondobou. Hondobou borrowed 50 million yen from
the company of Zenitora. Hondobou couldn't repay the money, so he had to do
what Zenitora told him to do. Hondobou says yes, that's all true. Zenitora
was going to use his restaurant as a meeting place. That day, Zenitora met
with the victim to discuss repayment. Hondobou doesn't know why that
happened. He had to follow Zenitora's orders. He moved the corpse and the
passed out Mako into the kitchen. As for the poison bottle and lottery
ticket, Hondobou says that was not him.
The judge orders Godo to bring Toranosuke Shibakuzou in as a witness. Today
is impossible, so he will suspend trial. Tomorrow we shall... Godo shakes
his head no, then says, 30 minutes. The trial will continue. The next
witness will be ready by then. Godo says don't feel safe yet, Maruhodou.
If this cook is telling the truth, then we still don't know where the verdict
goes to. The judge orders a 30 minute break. End of Part 1.
9e. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 2
Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 2. 1:21 PM, Waiting Room # 1. Mayoi says
Zenitora will be coming. You're almost there to the goal, or so you hope.
Hondobou did say Zenitora ordered him. Somehow, you feel like you
are missing a crucial piece of evidence. Itonoko yells at you. You tell
him to calm down. Itonoko asks if there is something he can do. He can't
stand just sitting around here. Itonoko will run over to the Police Station.
In one hour, he can analyze some fingerprints. In a hour, trial will have
resumed by then. Give Itonoko the Small Bottle. That bottle still has
mystery fingerprints. Itonoko runs off. You hope he can make it in time.
1:56 PM, Courtroom # 4. Trial resumes. Godo says capturing Shibakuzou was
easy as 3 cups of coffee. The prey he caught, be careful you don't get
bitten. Toranosuke Shibakuzou appears on the witness stand. Mayoi hides
under the table at the sight of Zenitora. Zenitora says he has an important
transaction planned for the day. He blames you for bringing him over here.
Even the judge hides under his desk. The judge claims to have dropped a pen
on the floor. Godo tells the witness, "It's useless to scream like that any
further. You are imprisoned inside the walls of this courtroom. I shall be
the punisher, the judge!" You think to yourself, this Godo has got style.
Godo asks the witness if he has any knowledge of the case. Zenitora say no.
Did you see the trial of Mako Suzuki? Zenitora says no, he doesn't have the
time to do that. The judge, under the desk, orders the witness to testify
about the day of the murder. In the testimony, Zenitora says, murder case?
He knows nothing about that. On December of last year, he was busy, at his
office the whole time. Everyday, the Kariyoze creates a line in search of
money. His alibi can be verified by Urami-chan. Zenitora knows what you are.
You poke away little by little. If you try to talk about anything not related
to the case, you will borrow 5 million for every time you do. Godo says this
will be fun to watch.
Godo says this witness is a hungry tiger let loose in the city jungle.
Disobedience will only get your precious little head bitten off. The judge
will penalize you for any unnecessary probing into statements. For the
cross exam, on the part where he says he was at his office the whole month,
probe to ask the day of the murder. Godo objects and says that's useless
probing. As promised... You object back saying the witness alibi for the
day of the murder is relevant to the case. The judge agrees with the defense
and overrules the prosecution. Zenitora says on December 3rd, he was at his
office. He doesn't know this young fellow (Takao Oka). Godo tells the
witness to add that statement to the testimony.
On the newly added testimony, show him the Calendar of Takao. You say this
witness does know the victim. More precisely, the victim knew Zenitora.
In the calendar, there's a memo. Meet Zenitora, dated December 3rd, the
day of the murder! Zenitora says you pass. He was testing you. Zenitora
says he wasn't lying. Godo asks if it is true that the witness never met
Takao Oka. Zenitora says yes. Godo says he will enjoy another cup of
coffee, while the witness continues his testimony. You think to yourself,
Zenitora never met the victim, you know that's a lie.
In the testimony, Zenitora says he never met Takao Oka. That name was on the
list of clients who conferred with the company. He promised to meet, but the
place was at the Kariyoze. Zenitora waited at his office, but the client
never showed up. Zenitora says he never was at the restaurant named the Tres
Bien. Godo says the client never showed up because he was dead. Zenitora
says he won't make the bus on time. He needs a bullet train to make the
appointment. For the cross exam, on the part where he says he's never been
to the restaurant, show him the box of matches of the Tres Bien. These
matches were found in Zenitora's office. How did these get there if he's
never been to the restaurant? Zenitora says he was at the restaurant that
day.
However, he never met that young fellow. Godo says tell us more. In the
testimony, Zenitora says the day they were supposed to meet at the
restaurant, in the afternoon. At the door entrance, the moment he opened
the door, he saw something terrible. That young fellow was sprawled across
the table and the guy did not move one inch. He thought this was bad, so
it came to him. He turned to the right. He heard the sound of police sirens,
so he returned to his office. Godo reminds you, any unnecessary probing and
he will hand out the penalty. The judge says, that's my job. Godo replies,
no, your job is to pound the wooden hammer and say "Guilty". Now, do your
job! Now Zenitora is really late. You will pay for the fare of the special
express train ride.
In the cross exam, at the part where he says, at the entrance, he opened the
door to see a terrible sight, show him the Map of the Tres Bien. Zenitora is
the pro at lending money, and you are the pro at seeing through lies. Look at
the map. Zenitora was standing at the entrance. See the point of view and
range he has? The judge says the victim is in the line of sight of the
witness. Wrong. Remember, between the tables, there's a large divider.
This would block the view of the victim from the entrance. There's no way to
see the victim from the entrance! This witness did meet the victim that day.
Godo objects and says remember Igarashi's testimony yesterday?
There was only one person at the table. You argue it was proven the victim
Igarashi saw was a fake. The real criminal killed the victim, then disguised
as the victim to act out a murder for Igarashi to see. The judge asks for
the name of the real criminal. Show him the profile of Toranosuke Shibakuzou.
Zenitora calls you a fool for picking a fight with him. You hide under the
desk. Godo says, what a pathetic bunch. Remember Igarashi's statement? He
not only saw the victim, he saw the waitress put something in the coffee. So
the victim may be faked, but that doesn't matter. The defendant is on trial
here, remember. You object and say Igarashi saw two people, the victim and
the back of a waitress. So if the victim was faking it for the drama, then
the waitress is a fake also!
Mako says she passed out shortly after the crime. The judge asks who is this
waitress? Show him the profile of Urami Shikabane. She is an employee at the
office of Zenitora. You know who is her grandfather. You may not make it out
of the courtroom alive. The defendant Mako said, when she brought the coffee
over to the table, there was one other customer. It was one that was a little
creepy, and she had a strange laugh, or giggle. There were many
inconsistencies in the case. The only plausible explanation of all this is,
the murder happened twice. One real and the other faked. Zenitora had the
chance to do both!
Zenitora says you would make a good actor. He says his appointment will have
to be by charter jet. You missed one important fact. He did meet that young
fellow that day, but he didn't poison him. Godo says we need one more, piping
hot testimony. In the testimony, Zenitora says he loaned Takao Oka 10 million
yen. That day was not a discussion on a loan, it was the due date on the
repayment of the 10 million. In any case, this young fellow didn't have the
money. Zenitora was about to be disappointed, when suddenly the guy was
celebrating. A lucky guy, he hit the 50 million jackpot. If that waitress
didn't do "that thing", then it would have been all nicely wrapped up.
The judge says the due date on the repayment was on December 3rd, the day of
the murder. Zenitora says he had no motive to kill the victim. In the cross
exam, at the part where he talks about the waitress doing something, probe to
find out he means the defendant, how the lottery ticket deal was going to be
settled. Zenitora revises his testimony and says his reason was the 10
million yen. There would be no other reason to kill the victim. On that
statement, show him the Cleaning Bomber CD. Zenitora wasn't looking for the
10 million, the digits are different. The value of the disk. The Cleaning
Bomber computer virus. The important things is that this program is worth
several hundred million yen.
It wouldn't make sense to loan money to someone who couldn't pay it back.
The victim was a superb programmer. Zenitora loaned 10 million to the
victim, in aid of his project. Godo asks if getting this program was the
motive for murder. Yes. Godo says this witness isn't stupid. He could
have gathered a few hundred million without killing. You say maybe, if he
had the time. Zenitora needed the money now, in an emergency, with no time
to care how it was done. The judge asks to show the reason this witness
needed the money. Show him the Medical Records of Urami. Almost a half
year ago, Zenitora was in an traffic accident.
When he crashed into the car, a lady was injured. She was taken to the
hospital and had surgery. Zenitora wonders how much do you know? You say
there is the medical records of that lady. The cost of surgery was one
hundred million yen. The due date on the payment was until the end of
last year. Looks like Zenitora made the payment on time. Godo says, no
sane person would pay that bill. If that was brought to the Board of the
Medical Association, that hospital would fall out. You say the witness
had to pay no matter what the cost was. His life was in danger. The
injured lady was Urami Shikabane. Godo seems to know the Shikabane name.
The Boss of the Shikabane organization is Gonta Shikabane. He also controls
the underground financial world. Urami is his grand-daughter. Upon hearing
that, Godo spits his coffee out. Zenitora needed the money to settle the
problem. Zenitora was the one who crashed into the car carrying Urami.
The life of Takao Oka was sacrificed to fulfill Zenitora's objective. That
day, Shibakuzou planned to get the CD. A miracle happened. Takao won the
lottery. So now Shibakuzou couldn't get the CD by normal means. So
Zenitora poisoned the coffee of the victim. After killing his victim, he
pinned the murder on Mako. Zenitora proceeded to be the victim. Urami
played the part of Mako.
The two played out their roles to create a witness. The whole play was
fake. Igarashi was the witness of the fake play. Godo says that's
impossible for a plan that big to work like that. The chef would notice
something. You say the chef knew about the plan. Hondobou owes Zenitora
50 million. The chef had to assist Zenitora! Zenitora says it's an art
form for an idiot to come this far. A Loaner should be careful who they
trust. Dressed as the victim, creating a witness, pinning the murder on
someone else. Doing these things would leave evidence behind. Zenitora is
careful, despite the looks. So he had something else planned.
A plan to make Mako Suzuki guilty for sure! Godo says show me. Show him the
Paper Badge. Zenitora not only faked being the murder victim, he also
pretended to be lawyer! A month ago, Zenitora played the role of Ryuuichi
Naruhodou. He did a horrible job, though, to make sure Mako was found
guilty. Only Zenitora's hairstyle is similar to yours. but that's were
the similarities end. Upon closer inspection, the judge says Zenitora
was the one he saw a month ago. Godo asks the judge if he can prove that
Zenitora was the lawyer a month ago. Will the judge take the stand?
The judge pauses to think. Zenitora tries to act nice, but you say this
witness has no pride.
Godo argues, "That doesn't matter. We are in a courtroom, playing the
tug-of-war of life!" The judge believes the witness was the one a month ago,
but he is the ruler of the court. A memory without proof will not sway the
decision. This witness needs no more testimony, since the defense doesn't
have the proof. Godo says, dressing as Takao, dressing as a lawyer, those
things won't prove the crime of murder. There is no proof poison was put
in the coffee. Zenitora says too bad, Naruhodou. You were so close, if
you only had one piece, one piece. The testimony ends for the witness. A
voice says, wait! Itonoko comes rushing in with a sack. He has the evidence.
2:48 PM, Waiting Room # 1. Itonoko says the results are in. The fingerprints
on the bottle. Zenitora's fingerprints are on the bottle. Despite the news,
you admit it probably doesn't matter whose fingerprints are on the bottle.
We have to prove Shibakuzou put the poison in the coffee. We need conclusive
evidence. Zenitora admitted to meeting with the victim. This bottle has no
meaning, even if Zenitora's fingerprints are on it, Itonoko thought this
would be the last chance to save Mako. Mako appears. She asks if Itonoko did
this for her. Itonoko says he's no good and runs off. Still, this bottle
may be of some use.
3:04 PM, Courtroom # 4. The judge asks if you have the conclusive
evidence. Godo wants to see, don't disappoint him. Zenitora says this is
ridiculous. It is his first trial he has seen, but lawyers weren't as tough
as thought they would be. The judge will allow one piece of evidence. You
think to yourself, evidence couldn't prove it. If there is one spot to
attack, it is with the witness over there, the one that thinks he has already
won. For the final piece of evidence, show the judge the Small Bottle. It
is the one you just got from Itonoko. This is the victim's... You tell the
judge not to say anything more. The contents of this bottle is already
known by everyone in the courtroom.
The problem is, there are fingerprints on the bottle. Zenitora's
fingerprints. Godo says nothing while the crowd talks among themselves.
The judge says, those prints have no meaning. You think to yourself, the
people in this courtroom know the contents of the bottle, except for one
person. Zenitora says, that little thing has my fingerprints on it? So
what? You think to yourself, the fake trial, the fake defense, and the
fake clue. Everything about this case smells of fake. To clean
this up, it's only appropriate to present to fake evidence! You tell
Zenitora this bottle contains... The deadly poison, potassium cyanide.
It's the one used to kill the victim.
This bottle was used in the crime. Zenitora's fingerprints were on this
poisonous bottle. Zenitora laughs and says you are funny. Zenitora won't
buy the bluff. Zenitora says that bottle doesn't have poison. The poison
is in a brownish glass bottle, not that little bottle. It's over. He's
talking about this bottle, the brown one with the poison in it. Zenitora says
his fingerprints are not on that bottle. Godo's mask is smoking. Godo asks
the witness if he knows what just happened. Did you realize what you just
said? Zenitora was just introduced to the court. If Zenitora wasn't involved
in the case, he couldn't have known what bottle the poison was in. Zenitora
admitted to the bottle he used to carry out the crime.
You admit the final evidence was a fake. Fake evidence is only appropriate
for Zenitora, the master of faking! Zenitora lets out a yell. The courtroom
falls into darkness. A blackout. You can see the red glow off Godo's visor.
Godo says the 17th cup is for you. When the lights come back on, you find
Godo's cup on top of your head, with coffee dripping from your face. Godo
says, slowly taste it, while looking over your trophy. Afterwards, Godo
says Toranosuke Shibakuzou has been arrested for the murder of Takao Oka.
The judge admits to making a mistake a month ago, for delivering a verdict
without a lawyer present for the defense. A real lawyer, that is. Godo
says there was no proof, if the witness didn't talk. The judge says that was
a fearsome witness. Godo says the true fear was that lawyer over there.
The judge hands out the verdict for Mako Suzuki. Not Guilty. Court is
adjourned!
Same day, 4:10 PM, Waiting Room # 1. Mako is relieved. She admits, a month
ago, she was a victim to you. Now she can forgive you. Itonoko comes in,
then leaves. You drag him back inside. Itonoko says he believed in Mako's
innocence. Mako says she wanted to hear that in the testimony. Itonoko
runs out. Mako says that bottle was useless anyway! So she doesn't forgive
Itonoko yet. Give her Itonoko's Bentou to celebrate Mako's trial. Mako does
look a little thin. Mako says she really does like sausages, despite what
she said before. Mayoi's stomach grumbles. Mako shares the food with Mayoi.
The story filled with imposters is over. Mako's name has been cleared. Now
the real story begins. End of Episode 3.

10a. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 1
Episode 4 - Origins of Reversal. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 1. "Don't
kidnap that kid." A grainy black and white film of a bridge opens the scene.
"Don't move any closer, or I'll kill the hostage." "Too bad. This is as far
as you go." A gunshot rings out. A body drops to the river below. You are
looking over a past case that has been long forgotten. It is the record of
the first ever appearance of Chihiro Ayasato. You look over the case data.
You see a wanted sign of an escaped convict. Name: Michiru Onamida. Crime:
Kidnapping and murder. Sentence: Death Penalty. Data 2 contains
information on the re-arrest by officer Yuuki Miyanagi. The officer was
killed about 8 hours after the escape. The convict escaped to the Godou
Mountains...
Chihiro's first case was defending an escaped convict. This episode takes
place a year before episode 1. The time is 6 years ago, Chihiro's first
court appearance. February 16, 9:24 AM, Waiting Room # 4. Chihiro thinks
to herself, she'll die of nervousness. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
You play the role of Chihiro in this episode. You greet the defendant, an
escaped convict. He claims he didn't do it. Michiru Onamida, your first
client. 5 years ago, he was given the death penalty. Now he is an escaped
convict. You ask why he fled from prison. Michiru says he's sorry. He
doesn't seem to remember anything about a prison break. You tell him he was
arrested again just two days ago.
So he lied a little, but he didn't kill anyone. Michiru says five years ago,
he got the death penalty, but he was tricked. That woman provided false
testimony. The day before yesterday, the truck carrying the prisoners was
involved in an accident. The prisoners escaped. Eight hours later, he was
arrested and a police woman was killed. Michiru is the suspect in the
murder. You ask if the defendant ever met with this officer. He says yes
he did. That's why he escaped from the armed convoy. Onamida insists he
didn't kill her. When they separated, she was still alive, he swears. A
man in a red shirt comes in. He says staring at the defendant won't reveal
the truth. You greet your senior.
He says he came to see the little stray cat that was thrown into the Garden
of Judgment. Let's play together. You ask about Teacher Hoshikage. He says
the man is still in bed, with the empty bottle, talking about Bacchus. Are
you dissatisfied with Souryuu Kaminogi? You are shocked, that the number one
senior at the Law Office of Hoshikage would come here. Kaminogi says this
morning you are number one. Oh, the nerve, your first client is an escaped
convict. You think about running away, but Kaminogi says don't worry. He
just heard today's prosecutor is a rookie also. However, unlike a certain
someone, this prosecutor is considered a genius in the prosecution circles.
It's time little kitty. You think to yourself, the loneliest place in the
world is the isolated cell of a condemned criminal. My client escaped from
there. Every other lawyer left him for dead, but you couldn't. The tears out
of his eyes, the straight words. He must have seen the truth.
10:00 AM, Courtroom # 4. The judge here looks younger than the one we are
used to. The trial of Michiru Onamida is now in session. The defense is
ready. The prosecution is also ready. Today, both the lawyer and the
prosecution are fairly new to the game. The lawyer is Chihiro Ayasato. The
prosecutor is Reiji Mitsurugi! The youngest ever to become a prosecutor at
20 years old. Kaminogi says it looks like the little kitty is not as
famous. (Notice how Kaminogi is holding a cup of coffee. Who does this
remind you of in the present? You are looking at the origins of many of the
characters in this series). You think to yourself, don't lose Chihiro, to
a younger guy.
The judge says this defendant is serving the death penalty. Two days ago, he
escaped from a convoy that was carrying prisoners. Kaminogi says the crime on
trial here is not breaking prison. It is one on the murder of a policewoman
on that same day. Is the defendant responsible for the death? That's the
question, little kitty. Mitsurugi's opening argument begins with, five years
ago, the defendant, Michiru Onamida, received the death penalty from the
court. Mitsurugi says, the charges were abduction and murder. The defendant
pushed a 14 year old girl off a bridge. The judge says that case didn't
have conclusive evidence, so it was a long and drawn out trial. Mitsurugi
says yes, the key was a witness testimony.
The policewoman named Yuuki Miyanagi faced the kidnapper alone. She arrested
Onamida. This was later proven in court. "Onamida threw the obstructive
hostage little girl into the river. The river below the bridge, the Godou
River, is known for the amount of water and it's rapid currents. Any body
swallowed in there is nearly unrecoverable. (The names Miyanagi and Godou
sound real familiar). As for the policewoman, Mitsurugi says she was
murdered two days ago. She's the victim in this case, her name is Yuuki
Miyanagi and she was the sergeant of her patrol squad. It was Yuuki's
testimony five years ago that put Onamida away. Now this Onamida escaped from
prison two days ago.
His target was clear. Revenge against the officer that put him away. The
judge says he could make a ruling right now. Guilty as charged. You fight
to stay alive. You demand to hear the testimony. Mitsurugi waves his
finger and says, youth can be a sad thing. You think to yourself, the
prosecutor is the younger one. For the first witness, Mitsurugi calls forth
the detective assigned to this case. Name and occupation? Keisuke
Itonokogiri, the leader in charge of the homicide division. Itonoko's coat
is a little lighter color than the one you see today. He recently became a
detective just six months ago. The judge orders him to explain the case
outline.
Itonoko says, the victim is Yuuki Miyanagi, a sergeant of the police squad and
veteran detective. The cause of death was a knife stab in the back, and the
resulting loss of blood did the job. This information is on the autopsy
report. Now Itonoko shows an overhead map for the court. The crime scene is
a suspension bridge over the Godou River. It is the Oboro Bridge. The
criminal and victim went on that bridge. The criminal stabbed the knife
into the victim's back, then carried the body over to the car parked over
here. Before the criminal could escape, the police arrested the suspect.
Take this map as evidence.
How about blood stains on the bridge? Itonoko says the victim wore a thick
heavy coat. There were no blood stains on the bridge. The judge says without
that, there is no proof the two were ever on that bridge. Mitsurugi says
listen to the testimony. That should satisfy you. (Notice Mitsurugi's dress,
style and manner all resemble Gou Karuma, his teacher). Kaminogi says,
listen carefully, little kitty. Carelessness only gets you swallowed by the
gods of the courtroom. In the testimony, Itonoko says Detective Miyanagi was
called by phone the day of the murder. She went to the specified meeting
place, the Oboro Bridge. That's where she met the criminal. She was
violently killed.
The criminal threw the corpse into the car's trunk, then attempted to run
away. The inspection of the foot of the mountains let to the arrest of
Onamida. You looked surprised when asked to cross examine the testimony.
Kaminogi wonders if you are all right. If you shake any harder, the waves
will pull closer to his coffee cup. He says the courtroom is a tough
battleground, especially for novices. You say everyone here is a beginner.
Kaminogi will watch over you. You watched video of the court procedures
just last night. In the cross exam, start probing at the beginning.
Itonoko says the someone that called the victim was the defendant, Onamida.
Captain Miyanagi kept a memo of his call. Take the memo as evidence.
In the memo, it says "February 14th, 1:21 PM. Meet Onamida at 4:30 PM at that
bridge. The mark, prepare it as the white muffler. Discussion with Chinami,
this time it will be revealed to the whole world, everything." Kaminogi
says the evidence moves the judge. Any unnecessary probing can
cost your life. Nevertheless, continue probing to ask why the heart of the
mountains as the location. Itonoko says it's a place of value to the
defendant, an unforgettable place. Mitsurugi says five years ago, the
defendant was part of a kidnapping plot. A little girl that was hostage was
killed on that same bridge. Itonoko says officer Miyanagi put the handcuffs
on the defendant.
As for the corpse, it was found quickly. Itonoko caught the criminal within
the hour. Miyanagi didn't report it, but the memo of hers was found on her
desk. If they noticed sooner, maybe she wouldn't be dead. About the corpse
in the trunk, a car was prepared, since they were deep in the mountains. Both
parties used cars to get there. However, the car of the defendant was a
stolen vehicle. He took the car from a young couple, who where waiting at a
traffic signal. Itonoko shows a picture of the trunk in question. You can
see the dead body of Yuuki Miyanagi in the photo. If you look closely, you
will something amiss. Take the photo as evidence.
The victim was stabbed in the back. Kaminogi says, a man's back is always
the target. Itonoko says it's not on the picture, but the knife is poked
in the back. The judge rules this part is important. Anything out of the
ordinary? Itonoko says nothing out of the ordinary. Now show him the
Victim's Memo. You apologize for your sudden actions. Your head was a
blank and it was the first time you ever pointed a finger at someone.
Kaminogi says, do you want to lick the coffee candy, little kitty? Maybe
real coffee is too early for you. You tell the witness about the picture.
Compare it with the memo. "As a mark, prepare the white scarf." She
probably forgot the face of the defendant's. So where did this muffler go?
Itonoko says it was not found in the trunk. You say Itonoko must search it
out. Mitsurugi says it looks like the defense is short on materials.
Mitsurugi presents the muffler. This cloth was found on the bridge. He
searched it out himself. Mitsurugi put it in his own bag. It was the
safest place he knew. Kaminogi says that lad knows what he is doing.
Mitsurugi admits this muffler is not white like that memo suggested, but it
was a close substitute. The muffler looks like it was stained in mud. It
was raining the day of the murder. You realize the prosecution withheld
this piece as a trap. This piece is considered evidence. Mitsurugi says
the defense slipped. So the next testimony is... You feel like squeezing
this guy with the muffler.
The victim and defendant met. The next step is, what happened on the bridge?
He will prove this. This trial is at Mitsurugi's pace. Kaminogi reminds you
the prosecutor is called a genius. In the testimony, Itonoko says there was
a witness to the crime, a bystander happened to take this photo. It shows
the victim wearing the muffler. It was raining lightly during the time, so
the picture is a little blurry. The criminal pushed the victim down, then
stabbed the back. This is when the muffler came off. The judge says the
bridge look high according to the picture. Mitsurugi says the bridge is about
12 meters above the Godou River. A good-willed third party provided us with
this picture.
The judge asks the prosecutor why he didn't present the witness in court.
Itonoko says the witness refused to stand in court. Mitsurugi says the
witness has a delicate mind. This picture is enough. Take the photo as
evidence. Mitsurugi says Onamida had motive, as shown here. The meaning
should be clear. The judge agrees and says he can make a guilty verdict right
now. For the cross exam, at the part where he says the criminal pushed the
victim down, then stabbed the back, show him the Crime Scene Photo (the one
with the victim sitting in the trunk). You say there was light rain falling
at the time. This doesn't match the crime scene photo. The judge asks you
to point out the unnatural spot.
Point to the victim's coat. Remember the situation on the bridge? The Oboro
Bridge was covered in mist and rain. If the victim fell to her stomach, her
coat should be dirty also! Mitsurugi objects and says the place was wet. It
doesn't necessarily mean the bridge was muddy. unless that is, you can prove
the circumstances that day. Kaminogi says if you withdraw now, then you won't
be a man. You accept the challenge. Show him the muffler. There is no
explanation required. Just look at it. The muffler was on the bridge. The
place was muddy at the time. Mitsurugi says beginner's luck. You think to
yourself, that's the same for both of us.
Mitsurugi says the coat and muffler conflict with each other. The important
thing is, what does it mean? There's a reason for this conflict. Tell me
that reason. Kaminogi says you are doing well for a little kitty. No matter
the time, conflict arise out of lies. The victim in the trunk, the witness
photo of the victim and defendant, and finally the testimony of the witness
that saw all of it. Calm down and think about it. Out of the three choices,
one of them has a false clue! You explain to the judge that it was the guy
sitting next to you who said that. The judge won't allow for false clues.
Kaminogi says that fellow over there (the one in the prosecution chair) is
hiding that clue. Bring it out.
You tell the judge the witness testimony is the false clue. The detective
said the criminal pushed from behind, then stabbed with the knife. This is
what the witness "saw". Itonoko says yes. There's something wrong with that
statement. The victim's coat is not stained. Kaminogi says yes, that's
right. If there was a definitive witness, then that fellow would have called
that witness to the stand. You request for the testimony of this witness.
The judge tells the prosecutor that the court needs to hear the testimony of
this witness. Mitsurugi says he's prepared for the worst. He claims he was
not hiding the witness. He was prepared to call the witness at anytime.
You wonder what he means by "worst case".
Mitsurugi calls his next witness. It is a lady with an umbrella and
butterflies dancing around her. (She looks like the Chinami Miyanagi from the
first episode). The judge seems mesmerized by the witness. Mitsurugi
reminds you that the witness has a delicate mind. The witness says she is
Satoko Mukui, a first year literature student. Satoko took the picture of
the victim and defendant on the bridge. She screams when she sees the
picture. The judge warns you that a penalty will be incurred the next you do
something like that. Satoko stares at you. She wonders who you are. You
say a lawyer, name's Chihiro Ayasato. She seems to know you. About the
picture, Satoko testifies that she took pictures of the wildflowers with her
camera. She saw two figures on the bridge standing in the center. A
fight erupted out of the blue. She quickly took a shot of the defining
moment.
After that, she informed the police. At the time, the witness was on the left
side of the cliff, just below the bridge. (It is the flashing red dot on the
map). The scenery was pretty from there. Satoko shows the camera she used
to take the pictures. Take this as evidence. For the cross exam, on the
part where she says she took a photo of the decisive moment, show her that
picture she took. The picture shows the two facing each other. The witness
claims to have seen fighting. Normally that's the decisive moment. Why is
that picture not presented? Mitsurugi says only one picture was presented,
since it was the only picture available. You argue if that moment was ready
to be taken, then there should be a picture of what happened after this.
Satoko apologizes. She cut the film and this photo was the last one.
Mitsurugi says it's true. He checked the photos himself. The other pictures
showed the witness herself surrounded by wildflowers. You ask who took the
pictures then? Satoko explains her camera has a self-timer. The judge says
it's not enough. How about the case burned in the film of her heart? asks
Mitsurugi to the witness. Spoken like a poet. Return to the cross exam.
Kaminogi says, it seems the court had sided with the little kitty sitting
over there. In her revised testimony, Satoko says the victim turned her
her back and ran. The victim was caught after 10 meters, then was stabbed in
the back. On that statement, show her the evidence marked, the bird's eye
map of Oboro Bridge. Two contradictions in one testimony.
Look at this map. The victim and defendant were in the center of the bridge.
If the victim turned and ran, she would hit a dead end. The part on the
right side of the bridge is collapsed. The victim couldn't run 10, not
even 5 meters! You say the situation is simple. The cutie girl's cute lie.
Mitsurugi objects and says he will apologize for this little incident. There
is a big problem with this map. It was created after the murder. After all
it was a bridge in the heart of the mountains. There was little reference
to that place. Was the bridge broken at the time of the murder? Right now
no one can testify to that. The photo by the witness doesn't show enough to
tell.
Incomplete evidence caused confusion in the trial. Kaminogi says this fellow
was prepared. He had insurance from the beginning with that map. Returning
to the testimony, the judge orders the witness to do it again. In her
testimony, Satoko says the victim, stabbed in the back, was quickly carried
by the criminal. The criminal transported the body across the bridge. There
was no other way to hide the corpse other than carrying it away. The body
couldn't be left on the bridge. That's all she saw. Kaminogi says if this
testimony passes through, it's over. Let's go to a cafe on the way home.
He knows a good shop that sells Mocha. You say it is not over yet. In the
cross exam, on the part where she says there was no other way to hide the
corpse, show her the bird's eye map of Oboro Bridge once more.
You say it was unnatural for the criminal to carry the body, especially when
there was an easier, more reliable method. It's clear once you see the map.
There's a river running beneath the bridge. According to the prosecution,
this Godou River is known for the water quantity and the rapid currents.
Anybody that gets caught by the river is usually lost. Five years ago, a
victim was thrown in there after the kidnapping debacle. If there were to be
ten more murders on this bridge, ten bodies would be thrown into the Godou
River! The judge asks for Mitsurugi's opinion. Mitsurugi says, does the
lawyer want to be swallowed by this river again? Before talking about
the unnatural, he suggests that you play with Mother Nature first.
Even if putting the body in a car trunk seems unnatural, that's what the
criminal did. If the reason is inconsistent, then this witness is unrelated
The judge rules the defense's plea is not substantial. Continuing with the
testimony, she revises the part in question. She says the criminal forced
open the trunk of the stolen car and hid the body there. On this revised
part, show her the map of Oboro Bridge again. Did she really see that? You
say that's not possible. Look at the map. In between where the witness
claims to have stationed, and the car, there is a large mass of rock blocking
the view. It's impossible to see the car from over there.
Objection! Mitsurugi says it seems the rock formation is there on the map,
but you don't know if it is tall enough to block the view of the car. The
witness says it wasn't that tall. You disagree, the witness herself
provided a piece of evidence, the picture. On the left side of the picture,
you see part of the rock formation. It extends past the top of the picture.
The witness couldn't have seen the car from that angle! Order in the court,
order in the court! Mitsurugi says the escaped convict stole a car. That
was on the news. The witness was stirred after witnessing a murder. Just
hearing about the car would make her see it.
You argue the witness was warned before testimony, many times. "Testify only
what you saw." Satoko says she was mistaken. Mitsurugi says a person who
doesn't make mistakes, they don't exist, at least not in this world. The
judge agrees. Kaminogi says, now's not the time for a cold sweat, little
kitty. Don't look back until the verdict is reached. Go forward. Think
about the witness's testimony. How does she know about the car, for one,
and the part about it being forced open without a clear explanation? The
witness is still under doubt. Satoko says there are scratch marks on the
trunk. The picture does show scratch marks around the keyhole of the trunk.
What do you think? You say there is a contradiction in that statement. The
witness was taking pictures of grasslands and knew about the scratch marks.
When did she see that? You are starting to see the real figure of this case.
Kaminogi almost got tired of waiting. Mitsurugi wants to hear opinion of the
defense. There is only one answer. The witness saw the trunk's scars. The
reason is, she put the body in the trunk herself! Satoko denies it. She
claims the guy in the prison uniform did it. You disagree. If Onamida did
put the body in the trunk, he would have used the key. Satoko says it was a
stolen car. You say he took it while it was at a stop light. The key should
be there. With information on the scratched trunk, you proved the defendant
couldn't have put the body in the trunk!
Mitsurugi objects and says if the witness did put the body in the trunk,
explain the picture she took. To put the body in the trunk, the time would
have to be the murder moment. She did take this picture. You think to
yourself, here's your chance, go Chihiro! You say it is not that hard to
explain. Show him the camera. The witness had a camera, and it was no
accident. It has a tripod and a self timer. It is as though this camera
was made for the purpose of this one shot. Mitsurugi objects and says the
defense claims the witness was not at the grasslands. Yes. Kaminogi says
here's the crucial point. Where was the witness at the time of the murder?
Once you establish that, you will know what she is.
The judge asks to point on the map where the witness was at the time of the
murder. Point to the victim's spot, the blue circle. The spot were
Yuuki Miyanagi was standing? Order, Order in the court! You explain the
defendant left the "victim" and escaped by car. However, that would not
make it possible for the victim to be placed in the trunk. So if someone did
try to do that, it would have to be before the meeting. Mitsurugi argues
the defendant did meet the victim. In this situation, killing the victim then
putting the body in the trunk, the person would have to be Michiru Onamida!
You argue, the photo of the witness was taken after the victim was murdered.
This picture is not that of Yuuki.
Mitsurugi says, then who is the victim in the photo? The answer is easy.
The witness over there. It's the only logical conclusion. The defendant
didn't meet Yuuki Miyanagi, it was Satoko Mukui. At the time of the murder,
there was light rain and some mist. The defendant thought he was meeting the
victim. Mitsurugi says the defendant knows the victim. She was the one who
put him away. You say that was five years ago. The defendant forgot the
face of the victim. Mitsurugi says, do you have proof? Show him the muffler.
The mark for him to remember was the muffler. Onamida arranged for that
scarf. The victim's memo proves it. If the scarf was worn as planned, the
witness could have become Yuuki Miyanagi. The witness screams, then passes
out.
Afterwards, she is taken to the waiting room to rest. You know what the
what the witness did. She hid the body in the trunk, and then played the
role of the victim. She also made a fake picture. Why? The reason is,
the witness is the real killer! The judge orders a short break until the
witness wakes up. End of Part 1.
10b. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 2
Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 2. 1:14 PM, Waiting Room # 4. Onamida is
thankful. You say there is just one more step. If you can prove she did it,
you can win. Kaminogi says there is another wall to climb. Why did Satoko
Mukui kill Yuuki Miyanagi? There has to be motive. You don't have the
valuable information. You don't have enough evidence on the witness. All
we know is she's a student in literature. The other thing is, the case from
five years back. Onamida claims to have done nothing. He tells you about
that day five years ago. He still sees dreams of that day. The witness's
picture from today reminds him of that time. The bridge was just like that.
It was shabby and close to falling apart. Kaminogi says shabby and close
to falling apart, the feeling is mutual.
Onamida admits to kidnapping his lover, Chinami Miyanagi. Kaminogi says,
stop. The name Miyanagi, the same surname as the victim's! Chinami is the
younger sister of Yuuki. He held Chinami hostage, with Yuuki pointing a gun
at them, and then she fired. Onamida says Yuuki was a traitor. The
kidnapping was a make believe drama. Chinami was an angel, a treasure. He
would do anything she says. So she planned the whole kidnapping? Yes.
Chinami, Onamida and Yuuki were all in on it. Chinami was wealthy, being
a jewel dealer helps. One jewel, and a threatening note. Chinami and Onamida
wrote it. It was addressed to Chinami's father. The demand was a 200 million
yen diamond. The location of the exchange was the Oboro Suspension Bridge.
Yuuki Miyanagi was to bring the diamond ore. She recently became a police
detective.
Kaminogi says it would be advantageous to have a detective in on the scheme.
So the three of them were going to split the 200 million. Onamida says
Yuuki was serious. She shot at both of them. He got shot in the arm, while
Chinami threw herself into the river. Onamida couldn't have thrown Chinami
in the river. He was lost in thought. The next thing he knew, he was
arrested. That let to his death sentence. He can't believe she betrayed
them. Yuuki testified that Onamida threw her sister into the river. For
five years Onamida wanted to hear something before he dies. Why did she
lie? So he called her to the bridge. He forgot her face, so he prepared
a muffler. He didn't plan on killing, he just wanted to listen.
He wanted to hear from her own mouth. Kaminogi says he has poverty
syndrome. He wants to know more about the diamond and it's whereabouts.
Onamida doesn't know. It disappeared along with Chinami. That day on the
bridge, the ransom diamond was in the backpack of Chinami's. It dropped
along with Chinami from that bridge, into the rapids of that river. Break
time is over. One more thing, so the diamond went with her. What about the
body of Chinami? It was never found. She disappeared into the currents.
Kaminogi asks how old is this "angel", or was. She was 14 years old. She
planned a make believe kidnapping. The 200 million yen diamond, wrapped in
arms, disappeared into the rapid currents. Take the diamond as evidence.
Kaminogi says, don't hold back. If the time comes, push if needed. That is
my rule.
1:49 PM, Courtroom # 4. Trial resumes. The witness is fine. Mitsurugi
understands how you want to protect your client, but to accuse the witness
like this. She has no ties to the case. She just happened to be there.
Why would she kill that officer? You will have to prove the motive now.
Kaminogi explains why you still are a little kitty. He says, when a
lawyer is in a pinch, the best thing to do is laugh it off. (Chihiro
used that phrase many times later on, so now you see the origins of that
phrase). In this situation, the one who can crack a smile is a pro.
Satoko will testify she is falsely accused. Kaminogi says this witness is
a pro. See that smile on her face, despite the situation? In the testimony,
she says until two days ago, she wasn't in this country. Until college, she
never went to the Godou Mountains. She has no motive. Five years ago, the
detective who arrested the defendant, would be killed by unjust resentment.
The defendant even kidnapped. How horrible.
Mitsurugi says, you see, there is no motive. Kaminogi says it is time to
smile, little kitty. You know you must tie her to this case. In the cross
exam, begin probing at the beginning. Ask her where she was. She returned
here. She lost both her parents in a civil war in her other country. She
has no other means of identification, so she wouldn't know the victim or
defendant. About the statement about five years ago, probe to find out the
victim's testimony put the defendant away. Mitsurugi says then the
defendant had a grudge. You argue the defendant won't admit to that crime.
Satoko says he seems forgetful. If she wore the white muffler as directed,
she probably would be dead.
You say this statement is important. You want it added to the testimony.
Now on the part she talks about a white muffler, show her the Muffler as
evidence. Looking at the picture the witness took, you can't see clearly
the sign, the scarf. The muffler the victim wore says Satoko. You
caught her. Satoko did say "white". However, the victim's muffler is
blue. Mitsurugi objects as expected. He says it was raining that day and
it was misty. The witness could have missed that. You say no, the witness
just admitted this is the victim's scarf. Why the misunderstanding? There
is only one answer. Show him the Victim's Memo. The witness saw this memo,
despite her denial.
That is secret information. Is it? The memo does have Onamida's directions
written on it. He prepared a white scarf. The witness knew about this memo.
That's the only way to mistake the color of the scarf. Order in the court!
Mitsurugi says the memo couldn't have leaked outside. You say this witness
still knew about it anyhow. There's only a few who would know. Michiru
Onamida and Yuuki Miyanagi, the writer, and one more. Kaminogi says yes,
the one who wouldn't make sense. You noticed too, little kitty. The third
person who knew about the memo, it is... Show the judge the profile of
Chinami Miyanagi. Look at the memo. It says, "Consult with Chinami."
The judge asks, who is Chinami?
Mitsurugi says so, you brought out the dead. Chinami is the younger sister
of Yuuki. Chinami died five years ago, in a certain crime. She was kidnapped
and murdered by the defendant, Onamida. You dispute the claim she is dead.
Officially, Chinami Miyanagi is dead. The currents of the Godo River
swallowed her. However, the actual body was never found. Mitsurugi says
the search has gone on for five years. In terms of law, Chinami is considered
dead. You object, saying the body hasn't been found! Back them, Chinami was
14 years old. If she were alive today, she would be about 19 years old.
Just the right age as this witness, Satoko Mukui. Mitsurugi refuses to
believe it. You say believe it.
The witness is Chinami Miyanagi, the center of the kidnapping five years ago!
The crowd gets noisy again. Kaminogi says you just thrown a bomb into a
burning building. If it ends now, you are just a troublemaker lady.
Mitsurugi makes a confession. He never expected the defense to hang on this
long. He wouldn't leave a witness, whose identity was unknown. It looks like
Mitsurugi knew who the witness was, from the beginning. Until you uncovered
it, he wasn't going to touch that subject. The testimony was needed. That's
called bargaining, says Kaminogi. Mitsurugi introduces the witness as
Chinami Miyanagi. Why did she hide for five years? That's irrelevant to the
criminal case, says Mitsurugi. Shejust happened to witness it.
You say she didn't just happen to witness it. She wore the mask of the victim
for five years. In the present, she did some strange things at the crime
scene. Objection, by the prosecution. Mitsurugi says he know what you are
up to. To get your client free, you are pinning the crime on this innocent
witness. Five years back, she was kidnapped, killed, carrying that
troubled past, afraid. Above all, Chinami is the only sister of the victim.
She had no reason to kill her elder sister! The judge asks if you can
substantiate, the motive for Chinami. You realize you tried to corner the
witness, but now the roles have reversed. You are in the corner now.
Kaminogi suggests he will open your eyes for you. He tells the judge, the
defense will substantiate the motive of the witness. Mitsurugi says don't
try a stupid bluff with me. Kaminogi asks how does he know it is a bluff.
Mitsurugi says that lawyer over there is the one who looks to be in a hurry.
Kaminogi says this looks to be a desperate situation, but it is not. It's
time to win or lose. A pinch? A chance? That's for you to decide.
Mitsurugi says, the recklessness of youth. He can't smile at that. The
judge asks for the motive of killing Yuuki Miyanagi. Show him the Memo of
the Victim. Onamida's jailbreak started it all. He wrote this memo. It
said "Consult with Chinami. This time we will tell."
Yuuki judged Chinami. "Everything will be revealed to the world."
Chinami and Yuuki shared a secret. That's why Chinami killed Yuuki, to
seal that mouth shut forever. Mitsurugi says no one would be satisfied
with that. What was this big secret? Until you prove it... Kaminogi
reminds you that there is one secret that ties the three people together.
You request testimony from the witness, about the kidnapping case five years
ago. The answer lies there. The judge understands. In the testimony,
Chinami says, five years ago, Onamida kidnapped her. The ransom
money was a diamond ore. On the Oboro Bridge, Yuuki shot the right arm of
Onamida after the transaction.
Onamida pushed Chinami in the back in an attempt to kill her. She became
scared of being in the Miyanagi family, so after that, she falsified her
identity and lived that way up to now. Mitsurugi says that event put a
huge scar in the heart of the witness. She left the name behind, and with
the help of her sister, started a second life. He can't think of a reason to
kill her sister. Kaminogi says you have come this far. Hold down the
tactics. We do have one piece of information as the Ace up the sleeve.
You know the kidnapping was make believe. Onamida told you this during the
break.
In the cross exam, on the part where she mentions the defendant pushed her
off the bridge, show her the Oboro Bridge Map once again (This piece of
evidence has gotten quite a workout). Show her why it is impossible for her
to be pushed off from the back. The situation hasn't changed in five years.
The bridge still has a broken section. If she were pushed in the back, she
would fall from the hole in the bridge onto the rocks at the bottom. If
that happened, she would be dead for sure. Onamida couldn't push her off!
Mitsurugi argues the event occurred five years ago. The Godou River's water
level could have been higher than the present.
You say the distance from the bridge to the water was 12 meters. A difference
in water level wouldn't make much difference. Mitsurugi says the witness
testified the criminal pushed her, but she never said the falling point
was from behind. Onamida was shot and he panicked. The witness dropped from
the side. In this case, she would fall into the river. Chinami says she
does remember catching her skirt on a wire while falling. So the witness fell
off the side. You say that's impossible. Show her the Witness Photo. Look
at the wire supporting the bridge. It is as tall as the people on the
bridge! It's impossible to be pushed off that height. Mitsurugi argues
remember the physique of the defendant. A wire like that would be no
problem.
He could have held a 14 year old girl and dropped her off. You argue Onamida
was shot in the right arm. Furthermore, he had a pistol aimed at him at point
blank range. He couldn't have thrown her off. Order in the court! Chinami
jumped off the bridge herself. Mitsurugi asks, why such a foolish act?
Chinami says she was with her sister. Yuuki had a pistol and handcuffs.
Yuuki was saving Chinami. Jumping into that river is suicide. You say,
still, that's what the witness did. She probably had the confidence to swim
in that river. There was a reason for jumping in. The witness is still
alive. This fact is told clearly. Show the diamond as evidence.
Five years ago, something else dropped along with Chinami. The 200 million
yen diamond. It was planned from the beginning. Chinami wanted all the
200 million for herself! With the help of Onamida, he helped stage a
kidnapping. At the last moment, she betrayed the defendant and jumped into
the river, with the diamond in her backpack. Mitsurugi says that's
ridiculous. The witness was 14 at the time. How could she have such a
devilish plan? You say this witness is the devil. There was someone else
who was fascinated with the devil. Yuuki Miyanagi, the elder sister. The
victim was in on the kidnapping. Mitsurugi cannot believe a detective
would assist in her younger sister's criminal plot.
That's what happened. That's why this murder happened now. The victim
called the witness that day and told of her decision. Tell the world
everything. This action sealed her fate. Chinami came up with another
devilish plan. Seal the mouths of the other two involved in the make
believe kidnapping. Chinami killed Yuuki for this reason. Chinami
says, how interesting, Chihiro Ayasato. Can you provide the proof? The
proof she plotted with a convict and a detective. One more thing. What
happened to the 200 million diamond? Prove that as well. You don't know.
Chinami calls you stupid.
There is nothing more about that case five years ago. You don't have
substantial proof Chinami killed Yuuki. The judge says the witness is
still under suspicion. Still, the judge rejects the defense's claim.
Kaminogi says, no evidence, no trial. Who made that rule? Listen little
kitty, a rule is something you decide on. Even without evidence, you still
have testimony. That day, Chinami did kill Yuuki. She hid the body in the
trunk, then met the defendant. Chinami disguised as her older sister.
That's your claim. There is one witness who can verify the crime. Show him
the profile of Michiru Onamida, the defendant himself. You want to be sure
the person in the witness photo really is Yuuki, not Chinami.
Mitsurugi says no objection from him. You know the risk of putting the
defendant on the witness stand, but it is one risk you have to take. Onamida
claims Chinami died and Yuuki was a traitor. You say Chinami is still alive
and he was used to get that diamond. The problem here is, two days ago, who
did he really meet on the bridge? Yuuki or Chinami. He says Chinami told him
until death... Onamida sees the witness and realizes it is Chinami. She
really is alive. Chinami says her fate is in Onamida's hands. Onamida wants
water. His throat is dry. Kaminogi says it can't be helped. Have some
coffee. The words that are about the come out, appropriately, here's the
black coffee bitter than hell.
In his testimony, Onamida says that day, around 4 PM he parked the car at the
foot of the bridge. She wasn't there yet, so he waited on the bridge. From
there, he saw the car. There was no body inside. Finally a woman appeared.
She stopped in front of him. We talked, then broke off. That woman was
Yuuki, not Chinami. You are shocked he would still cover for Chinami. In
the cross exam, on the part where he says he saw the car from there, show
him the Witness Photo. Now, he waited on the bridge, right? The problem is,
who came to the bridge first? This picture shows clearly, the first person
to come on, is the person to the right side. The victim is the one on the
right. So Onamida came after this woman. You want to know the truth.
Onamida is coughing. He says he did arrive on the bridge at 4 PM. He did
have one place of promise to visit first. There was a old mountain temple
about a 15 minute walk from the bridge. That's where he promised to Chinami
five years ago. Until death, never to betray each other. A symbol was given
to prove their worth. He hid it at the foot of a tree in the surrounding
area, five years ago. It was a pendant of memories (It looks like the pendant
you saw in episode 1). The bottle is empty. The witness admits to leaving
the car unattended. He walked the path that took 30 minutes back and forth.
With that time, Chinami could have hidden the body in the trunk!
Before you can continue, Onamida's coughing gets worse. He is coughing up
blood now. He says it's enough. Five years ago, he promised if they don't
believe in each other anymore, then they promised to drink the contents of the
bottle. Mitsurugi says this is absurd, stop the trial now! Onamida admits
he's an idiot for not being able to keep the promise. So he drank the
contents of the pendant. No, you are so close to proving his innocence.
Onamida says he would have no faith if he were innocent. He would be killed
by Chinami again. Thanks for the coffee. Then he collapses to the floor.
This is how Chihiro's first trial ends. No verdict, no winners or losers.
There was one big scar in her heart she couldn't heal. The same for that
prosecutor over there. The real killer, Chinami walked away with a smile.
Kaminogi says he won't take this. The truth was there. They missed the
chance to grab it because we got careless. You think it's your fault, but
Kaminogi says, don't cry. That will only make the coffee sour. Kaminogi
says Chihiro, don't you understand? (not little kitty anymore). Now's not
the time to cry. He squeezes his mug tight with his right hand. The mug
shatters into a million pieces. Holding up his bloody fist, Kaminogi says,
"The only time a man can cry, is when it is all over."
Fade into a grainy movie. No matter what the case was, finally the colors
are put together, filed away, waiting to be forgotten. A year after this
case, I was caught up in that case. Chinami Miyanagi was tried and convicted
of the murder of Kikuzou. She still smiled then. I thought it was over.
Looking back at it, it is not over. Five years past since then. End of
Episode 4.

11a. Day 1 Detective Phase Part 1
Episode 5 - Beautiful Reversal. Day 1 Detective Phase Part 1. A flash of
lightening and the statue with the sword. The treasure of the Kurain
Family, the "Shichishitou". This blade represents life itself. The countless
limbs spread apart. The vision into the vast infinity of our destiny. On
the blade tip, there is one place that cuts through the threads of fate.
Showing no mercy, it strikes the final stab. Then the unavoidable conclusion.
February 6, 9:48 AM, Naruhodou's Office. Mayoi mentions how she has her
spiritual powers. If she doesn't hone those skills, she'll grow weak, along
with you. Mayoi calls Hami-chan over. Harumi shows you a magazine article
about the Spiritual Training Grounds. It's the New Year's issue, a special
winter edition about these grounds. Just one night of rough training can
boost your powers significantly. Mayoi is interested. The place is called
the "Hazakurain Monastery". It is located deep in the mountains. The
Hazakurain seems to be a famous training ground for spirits. It is hard to
get a reservation even for Mayoi. Mayoi took the "Special Course".
With nothing better to do, you decide to tag along. Besides, people over
20 years old need to be present in company of minors. It doesn't matter that
you don't have special powers. The thing that convinces you to go is the
picture on the magazine. The nun in the picture looks a lot like Chinami
Miyanagi. Your curiosity gets the better of you, so you decide to go to this
Hazakurain. Take the magazine with you as evidence. You wonder about
Chinami. She is supposed to be in jail right now.
February 7, 3:24 PM, at the gates of the Hazakurain. It's cold. It would be
considering the snow and Mayoi wearing her usual outfit. A nun welcomes you.
She tells you to come inside. Before she forgets, she introduces herself as
Bikini (phonetically it's spelled out that way). Bikini is surprised
Mayoi went for the special course in the winter. There is time before dinner,
so have a look around. Talk with Bikini to find out more about this place.
This place was made to release the spiritual powers inside. There is a
sacred treasure housed here. If one were to seriously train here overnight,
their spiritual powers would increase significantly.
Mayoi asks about the special course. That is where one sits on spiritual ice
and recites a chant 30,000 times. That, along with the ice cold bath water.
Carelessness will get you frozen. Ask Bikini about the other nun. She sees
the magazine and notices herself on there. Ayame helped her with the
makeup. Yes, Ayame is the name of the nun you see in the picture. This is
a small place. Bikini and Ayame get by just fine. You ask where this Ayame
is. She is in the Inner Temple, preparing for tonight. She should be back
by nightfall. Bikini will be in the Main Temple. Visit the Inner Temple.
Mayoi still thinks it's cold. Harumi smells some curry. Mayoi can't wait
for dinner.
A voice greets you. A lady in a robe, with a book and cane appears. Mayoi
sees the costume and wonders if that is the special course. The lady says no.
Harumi is in disbelief. This person is, is... Ellis Tenryuusai. Harumi
introduces herself. She is a fan of this person. You guess Ellis is a
fortune teller. Harumi has all of Ellis's books. Harumi can't believe you
don't know this person. Ellis is an author of books, and a little of some
picture books. You apologize. You don't get to see many picture books.
Ellis doesn't mind. The books are aimed for children. Harumi loves the
illustrations. It seems to purify the mind. Ellis is happy for her. You
wonder, the eyes of Ellis seem...
Harumi says Ellis won a prize for her book, "The Magic Bottle". Ellis says,
it was just something she wrote casually. It snuck into the press via an
acquaintance. Mayoi wants to do that. Ellis says recently, many people
wanted to be her student. Someone named Mashisu Tenryuusai. Her student is
out there sketching some scenery. As for the reason for coming here, Ellis
says it wasn't for training. She planned to make a new book here. Up until
now, she mainly wrote western stories. She is the dream of the kids. Harumi
notices Ellis is wearing the costume of a trainee. Bikini did provide her
with this.
She is wearing that costume under the robe. Mayoi says she wants that staff.
Ellis says, this crystal is real. Mayoi asks you to get one like that for
her. Ellis must leave now, to prepare dinner. She asks Harumi to help her
out. Mayoi wants to help, but Ellis says no. Ellis gives you a map of the
area, so you won't get lost. The Inner Temple is across the bridge. Harumi
leaves. Return to the gate. Bikini is gone. Go to the bridge. This
suspension bridge looks familiar. A fast river flows below it. You admit
you are afraid of heights. Mayoi says look at the name, it is Onboro Bridge.
You correct her and say it's the Oboro Bridge. (Mayoi's name is not that far
off. The bridge does look old and worn out. By the way, this is the bridge
we saw in episode four!).
You cross the bridge to the other side. Mayoi admits the bridge did sway at
little. At the end, a board was placed on the bridge to cover a hole. Mayoi
will train here for the night. Inside the Inner Temple Training Room, you see
a jail door. There's a chest of drawers to one side and a scroll to the
other. Mayoi will train here. There is someone else here. A nun appears.
Mayoi greets her. She is Ayame. She needs to get the preparations ready.
Mayoi notices something about how you look lost and flustered. Search the
scroll on the right hand wall. Mayoi notices something. It is a picture of
her mother. Maiko Ayasato, the head of the Kurain Style of Spiritual
Mediators. The crest on the top side of the scroll proves it.
Mayoi says her mother disappeared over 15 years ago. If it weren't for that
symbol, she wouldn't have known. Mayoi says she doesn't know her mother's
face. Take this scroll as evidence. Return to the bridge. Your face seems
green. What's wrong with you? Ever since you saw Ayame... A voice calls out
to you. It seems you are in his way. The guy runs off, but you stop him.
He calls himself Mashisu Tenryuusai. He looks like Yahari. He is sketching
the Oboro Bridge. Mayoi says hello to Yahari. You ask why is he Tenryuusai?
Yahari says he wants to be reborn. A new start. The case that just happened,
the Kamen Mask case. That made him want to be less and less of Yahari
Masashi. Then he read the book of destiny, "The Magic Bottle" by Ellis
Tenryuusai.
It's beautiful, friendly and gentle. He was saved. As for Ellis, Yahari says
he will stay with her for life. Here's a picture he took. Well, it was
unauthorized. He gives you the picture as evidence. You find out Yahari is
drawing picture books. Yahari says he doesn't trust women anymore. Yahari
says skill is unneeded to draw. Just a pure heart, that's all that is
important. When Yahari saw her, something ended and something else began.
Who? Ellis? No. Show Yahari the profile of Ayame. Just as you suspected,
Ayame was the one Yahari was talking about. You know this is Yahari's type.
He wants her to be a model for his drawings. For Ayame, he would dream once
more. Harumi announces dinner is ready. Come to the Main Temple. Harumi
will go to the Inner Temple to get Ayame.
7:46 PM, Main Temple. Mayoi says the curry was great. Ellis encourages
Mayoi. Mayoi is off to train her spiritual powers. Bikini tells Ayame
when it is 10:00 PM, ring the bell to signal the turning off the lanterns.
After ringing the bell, come to the training grounds. They leave with Mayoi.
Ellis asks Harumi what she wants to do tonight. Harumi thinks for a moment,
then Ellis suggests her to come to her room. They can read a book together.
Harumi agrees. There are some Kanji she can't read. She wants some help.
Ellis agrees to help. Harumi seems engrossed with Ellis. You ask Yahari
what he is going to do. He will return to his room. Besides, he is not fond
of the cold weather. Harumi asks Ellis to help her read. Ellis shows her
the characters for "karei" and "indou" (華麗、引導). You wonder, what
kind of book are they reading? Harumi leaves to clean up the table.
9:12 PM, Main Temple. You think to yourself, you are not cut out for this
cold. Someone wakes you up. It is Ellis. She asks if you seen Harumi.
You haven't seen her. She was supposed to go to Ellis's room. Ellis leaves
in search of Harumi. Ayame appears. Here's your chance. You ask how long
she has been here. She says since childhood. Bikini would be the closest
thing to a mother. You ask if Ayame has been to college, namely Yuumei
University, as a literature student. Ayame says no, she doesn't need that.
She studies here. Sometimes she goes out to town. She does know what a
personal computer and cellular phone is. As for the Hazakurain, she says
it's not a place normal people would be interested in. Ayame says talking
about the dead is not for everybody. She doesn't like it.
Before you can ask about anything else, Ayame realizes it is time to ring the
bell. It's nearly 10:00 PM. Ayame gives you her hood. It is said that this
sacred hood protects from evil spirits. This ominous night, she prays nothing
bad will happen... Take her hood as evidence. You stop her before she
leaves. Ayame did call you Naruhodou. How does she know? Have we met
before? As soon as you say that, five Psycho Locks appear. It's almost 10,
she'll talk some more tomorrow. The bell rings. You think to yourself, Ayame
does know you. A flash of lightening streaks across, accompanied with a
scream, echoes through the night. You get out of bed, and rush to the main
temple.
11:06 PM, Compounds. The scream came from here. Someone is laying on the
snow with the blade of the Shichishitou in her back. It is Ellis Tenryuusai!
You step on something on the ground. It is Bikini. She was passed out. Call
the police, quick! Even in this area, a cell phone will do. However, you
forgot to bring yours with you. Ayame has one, but you will have to use the
public phone near the Oboro Bridge. 11:18 PM, Oboro Bridge. You worry about
Mayoi. The sight in front of you makes you hesitate. The bridge is burned
down! Yahari is here. He almost scared you to death. You tell Yahari to
call the police. You are going to go to the Inner Temple. Yahari says you
can't cross in that burnt waste. You tell him that a murder has just
happened at the Hazakurain.
The criminal may have ran across this bridge. You can't leave Mayoi. You
push Yahari out of the way, and attempt to cross the bridge. You knew this
would happen. You fall into the river below. In this nightmarish night,
the last scream of the night gets swallowed into the eternal darkness.
End of Part 1.
11b. Day 1 Detective Phase Part 2
Day 1 Detective Phase Part 2. Unknown Time, Unknown Place. A phone rings.
Who's calling at this hour? Mitsurugi answers the phone. Yahari tells
Mitsurugi to hurry. Yahari says it's not Yahari, it is Mashisu Tenryuusai.
Mitsurugi thinks he is having a bad dream. Yahari says Naruhodou fell.
Mitsurugi says it wouldn't be the first time. Yahari says, not an exam,
this is life threatening! Explain. Yahari says he may already be dead.
Yahari wants Mitsurugi to return, he is the only hope. Mitsurugi is on
his way. Yahari will wait in the Detention Cell. Mitsurugi says to
himself, it has been one year since he left that country. He never
thought he would meet that guy again. Not a "long time no see" meeting,
but more of the usual.
February 8, 2:19 PM, Detention Cell. Yahari says you are late. (You now
play the role of Mitsurugi, at least for the day). You say you took a jet
charter to get here. Before coming here, you went to the hospital where
Naruhodou was in. The situation is as dangerous as Yahari said it was. The
picture book artist, Ellis Tenryuusai was murdered. The founders were the
head priestess and Naruhodou. The suspect is Ayame. Naruhodou attempted
to cross the unstable bridge. He fell into the river below. For now, he
is in stable condition in the hospital. Naruhodou has been there for two
days now. Yahari says his beloved Ayame has been captured. There's two
things you don't understand. When you left the hospital room, Naruhodou gave
you these things.
One is this strange jewel. It is said it can see people's hearts. The other
is this badge. Yahari begs you, Ayame's Trial is tomorrow. With Naruhodou
dead for now, only you, Mitsurugi can save her. Yahari wants you to be
Ayame's Lawyer! You say, what? Why do you think Yahari called you here for?
Knitting? No. Listen, you are a prosecutor. Yahari understands. The fact
won't be leaked. Someone did have a cardboard badge and it passed as the
real thing. So rumor says. (Zenitora!) You wonder, what's up with this
country's law system? Yahari says please, pretty please listen to Ayame's
story. So it wasn't a joke. Looks like you will have to take Naruhodou's
place.
You meet Ayame. After introducing yourself, she asks how is Naruhodou? You
tell her he's alive. He wasn't seriously injured, despite the circumstances.
He does have a cold. You think to yourself, have you seen or met this person
before? Ayame says it's just your imagination. She almost never leaves the
Hazakurain. That's the place where people gather to train their spiritual
powers. Ayame says she has no spiritual powers. She doesn't need it. Ayame
says she's there because there is a crime she wants to atone for. Hence the
continued training. As for the night of the murder, she says she cleaned up
the dinner table, then returned to her room. That was about 8 PM. At 10 PM,
she rang the " Lights out bell". She does it every night, like clockwork.
After that, she was called to the Training Room, but she stayed in her room.
She didn't go since she was scared of something. Ayame stayed in her room and
meditated. She did get called to the Training Room. She didn't go since she
was scared. Ayame pauses, then two Psycho Locks appear. You can't believe
your eyes. This must be the "Saikoro Lock" (laugh) Naruhodou talked about.
This Magatama must be the key. You don't have enough evidence for now. As
for anything particular about the case, Ayame says, spiritual forces pulled
everything together. Long ago, there was a tragedy at the Training
Grounds. It's the same thing this time around. You don't believe in
spiritual powers, so you can't agree with what she is telling you.
A human killed the victim. You ask if it was her. Ayame says no,
she didn't kill. No Saikoro Lock, she must be telling the truth. That's all
you can do for now. You tell Ayame you went to the hospital before coming
here. Naruhodou had a favor for you to be the lawyer of Ayame. One more
thing, do you know Naruhodou? Ayame says five years ago, she saw Naruhodou.
It was more like she deceived him. She admits she is weak, so she doesn't
want to show herself again. She wanted to forget everything. Naruhodou is
suffering. If he doesn't know the truth, he will suffer forever. It's not
too late. If she won't tell you, then at least tell Naruhodou the truth.
That's the condition that must be filled for Mitsurugi to be her lawyer.
Ayame promises to do so. Now it's time to go to the crime scene. At the
bridge, you meet Detective Itonoko. Upon hearing the return of Mitsurugi,
Itonoko came out to see for himself. He's got information and he will
accompany you. Itonoko says Prosecutor Godo was supposed to be here too.
You wonder, Godo? Prosecutor? As for the case, Itonoko says it's simple.
There was a substantial witness. Bikini will meet us for more information.
You notice this is the bridge Naruhodou fell off of. It is closed off for
now. On the other side, there's an Inner Temple. Without the bridge, we
can't make it to the other side. Normally, no one lives over there, but
there are a few people trapped over there. One of them is Mayoi.
Itonoko says depending on the weather, it will probably be tomorrow before
they can make it over to the other side. You ask how this bridge got
burnt down in the first place. Itonoko says thunder struck the bridge.
Itonoko says last night, it snowed for the first time in three days.
It's rare, but according to the weather report, thunder did strike. Take
this weather report as evidence. Looking at the data, it says on February
7, the weather report on the Godou Mountain Area. Snow fell from 7:00 PM
to 10:50 PM. Thunder struck from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The Oboro Bridge was
struck by thunder at 10:45 PM. It is estimated the 30 minutes passed from the
time of ignition, to the time it took to extinguish the flame. It wouldn't
hurt to remember this data.
Itonoko will tell later on who witnessed the thunder. What about the
Prosecutor named Godo? You've never heard of that name before. Itonoko says
this guy appeared after you left the country. His the new guy, but no one
will raise their heads to him. This Godo recently became a prosecutor, and
he is good. You think to yourself, if he's that good, then why haven't you
heard this name before? This Godo is the prosecutor for this case. Yes, it
is because of that fellow, Naruhodou. It's strange. Godo seems interested
only in Naruhodou. Maybe a grudge, maybe an obsession. If you show the
lawyer's badge to Itonoko, he will say, a prosecutor with a lawyer badge?
That's like a detective with a license to kill.
Go to the Front Gate Area. Yahari is here, complaining as usual. You think
it was a mistake coming back so quickly. Itonoko is shocked that Yahari made
Mitsurugi the lawyer for this case. Itonoko says Mitsurugi is a prosecutor,
and always will be. Yahari says his heart has turned to sherbet. Ayame is
not the killer. Always the romanticist, Yahari. You decide to do your best,
until Naruhodou recovers. Then you can pass the baton to him. Yahari says
Ayame is cute, don't you agree? What's up with the silence? You wonder, is
that the reason Yahari believes she's innocent? Maybe you came back to this
country too soon. You wonder where was Yahari the night of the murder.
Yahari is shocked that you doubt him.
Yahari says get back on the plane and fly back to wherever you came from.
He hopes the plane crashes and you die along with it. When you ask again,
three Psycho Locks appear. Save this for later. Go to the Main Temple Area
of Hazakurain. Itonoko is meeting with Bikini. She is the witness in this
case. Why didn't you say so earlier? That's why Itonoko's monthly pay goes
down. As for the night of the murder, Bikini says there was a student who
was going to train here. After dinner, they went together to the Inner
Temple. Mayoi was that student. They left around 9 PM. The training lasts
all night. The lead priestess does it all the time. At around 11 PM,
Bikini witnessed the murder in the compounds. Why was she there? She will
tell you in a little while.
About what she saw, Bikini says around 11 PM, (calm down) she saw two people.
One was laying down, the other stabbed with the blade. Ayame was the one with
the blade. After seeing that, Bikini fainted. There was one strange thing
about Ayame. As for the reason for returning from the Training Grounds, her
hip was weak and in bad shape. Especially in the winter. She wanted a hot
bath, so she returned here. Bikini didn't leave Mayoi alone, Ayame came
after ringing the bell. You think to yourself, strange. Ayame claims to have
never gone to the Training Grounds. About Mayoi, she took the special course.
She didn't enter the real test yet. Last night was just preparation.
Bikini says Harumi was supposed to be with Ellis. Bikini hasn't seen Harumi
this morning. Harumi could be with Mayoi over there. Show Bikini the profile
of Ayame. Bikini says she saw Ayame there at the grounds. At 10 PM, Ayame
rang the bell, then she came over to the Inner Temple. Ayame helped Mayoi
start the session. However, Ayame's story conflicts with this one. Search
the circular straw mats that are sitting in the corner. There's a white
piece of paper. Itonoko says it's in a brown sealed envelope. It looks like
an important clue. It is a letter addressed to Ayame. "Tonight at 10 PM,
I'm waiting at the Gokurakuan, if your secret doesn't want to be known, come".
It looks like a note of threat. Take this as evidence.
Take a visit to the Compound Area of the Hazakurain. This is the scene of the
crime. It is preserved the way it was last night other than the body.
Itonoko asks you to be sure. Are you sure you are going to defend Ayame? Yes
you will. If that's the case, then Itonoko can't leak any information he
has on the investigation. You say don't worry. Just leak it out. About the
victim, Ellis Tenryuusai, an author of picture books. Her real name is
unknown. Until her award winning book of last year, her history is also
unknown. According to the Autopsy Record, she died on the 7th of this month,
sometime between 10 and 11 PM. The cause of death was loss of blood due to
a stab in the back (sounds like a repeat of episode four).
A sword was poked through the victim's body. One other thing, there are
marks of body blows all over the body. It looks like the body was dropped
from a second story building. That house over there looks like a likely
candidate. Ellis was staying in that room last night. Take the autopsy
as evidence. About the case outline, Itonoko tries to recreate the events of
last night. Looking at the map, Bikini along with Mayoi, left the Main
Temple and went to the Inner Temple. At 10 PM, Ayame rang the bell, then
went to the Inner Temple herself. Bikini left the training grounds, leaving
Ayame and Mayoi there, to return to the Main Temple. After taking a bath,
Bikini witnessed the murder in the compound area.
As for the trial tomorrow, Godo was supposed to be the prosecutor in charge
of the case. Itonoko couldn't get a hold of Godo, so the office is looking
for another prosecutor. It was always like that. Maybe Naruhodou's cold
made Godo lose interest. You will be the lawyer tomorrow, so you can't be
the prosecutor. However, someone may recognize you as the prosecutor from
before, especially the judge. So you got a different judge for tomorrow.
You only met this judge once. It's a good chance this judge forgot who you
are. What about the prosecutor? Everyone in the prosecution office knows
about you. Don't worry, you prepared someone in case the need should arise.
About the Inner Temple, it is a small room for training purposes. It is
located across the bridge. Itonoko says there is nothing else over there.
The land over there is like an isolated island. It's not a place for someone
to live on. At the crime scene, search the gold statue. The blade in the
statue's hand looks to be the murder weapon. The Shichishitou has the blood
stains of the victim. Another thing, this blade also has the fingerprints
of Ayame. You just stare blankly into space. So this is what Naruhodou goes
through every time he stands in the lawyer's chair. Take this katana blade
as evidence. Search the staff that's sitting on the ground. The victim had
this on her.
Itonoko knows a secret, don't tell anyone. You agree. Itonoko says long ago,
he wanted to be a magician. You are speechless. That's it? Is that the
secret? Disappointed yet again. Any prints on that staff? Only the
victim's. Take this as evidence. Compare the staff to Ellis's Picture.
Notice something different? Return to the Gates. Yahari is gone. Search the
snowmobile. Notice it was covered in snow yesterday. Now it looks like it
was used recently. Remember this for later on. Return to the Detention Cell.
Ayame is here. Remember, you are on her side, so don't hide anything. About
the Inner Temple, Bikini says she saw Ayame stab the blade into the victim.
Another thing. When Mayoi began her training, Ayame was there. Ayame says
she never went there. Show her the Magatama Jewel. It's time to challenge
her Saikoro Lock. You must find the answer to all doubts, after all, you are
in charge of this case. Ayame says she didn't go because she was scared.
You have an idea of what that was. Show her the Memo Addressed to Ayame.
This was found in the main building. She was scared of this letter. Ayame
says she thought the letter was a joke. Even if she had a secret, it
wouldn't concern her if someone knew. Bikini was a mother to her. She'll be
ready for anything. Last night, however, there was one person who she
didn't want the secret to be known.
Show her the profile of Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Ayame says, it is as expected
from the friend of that person. Psycho Lock is broken. Ayame says that
night, this letter was in her room. She became frightened. What is that
place on the letter, the "Gokurakuan"? Ayame says it's a small mountain hut
located near the Oboro Bridge. Nobody goes there, it is old and worn out.
She shows you where on the map. There's a small path from the bridge to the
hut. She thought something was scary there, so she didn't go. You confirm
that yes indeed, Ayame did stay in her room. Take her written statement
as evidence. You say tomorrow in court we shall win. After that, she will
meet with Naruhodou and tell him the secret. Ayame thinks it worthless. She
may know Naruhodou, but he doesn't know her.
Return to the bridge. Now you have the location of the Gokurakuan Hut. Upon
arrival Itonoko mentions how a sad sight this is. It's only a little better
than his own apartment. Someone is here, quick, hide! It is Yahari, or as
he likes to call it, Mashisu Tenryuusai. He says all the girls he likes seem
to distance themselves from him. He chased one to Tibet once, but now he
looks in the prison. Yahari thinks about stealing that detective's wallet,
but Itonoko reminds him he is listening. Yahari wonders aloud if what he did
was wrong. Itonoko objects, which surprises Yahari back into reality. About
this hut, Yahari doesn't know, he found this place yesterday. He was looking
for scenery to sketch.
This was the perfect place. It's quiet, cold, and no electricity needed for
this place. Itonoko says that sounds like my apartment. Yahari asks if you
want something hot to drink. No thanks. As for Ayame, Yahari says please
save her. Yahari has decided to marry her. What would Naruhodou say, if he
heard this? As for the night of the murder, Yahari says, don't you have
any other subject to discuss? That's why you won't be as popular as me,
says Yahari. You have no response to that statement. Yahari is sorry. He
saw something amazing. Psycho Lock appears. Show him the jewel to begin the
unlock process.
Yahari saw something amazing. At 10:00 PM, thunder struck. Yahari panicked
a little, then a flash of lightening blinded his eyes. The bridge was
burning. So he witnessed the Oboro Bridge on fire. Where were you, when you
saw that? Yahari says at his room in the Hazakurain. You say that couldn't
be true. Show him the Map of the Hazakurain Area. The place is surrounded
by forest. He couldn't have seen the bridge from there. One lock down.
Yahari still won't talk. So the next step is, where was Yahari really?
You have an idea. Point to the spot named the Gokurakuan on the map. That's
the place Yahari witnessed the bridge burning. Yahari asks why that place?
The place doesn't need electricity. You ask how he knows that. It's not
even dark yet.
So Yahari did come here when it was dark. Second lock broken. Why was
Yahari here? Yahari says it was a barricade problem. You mean delicate
problem. Yahari was waiting for someone here. Show him the profile of
Ayame. Yahari says show me the proof. Now let's finish him off. Show
him the Memo Addressed to Ayame. Yahari says, hey, give that back to me!
Isn't it embarrassing to threaten a cute girl like that? First off, why
does this letter begin with zenryaku, "Everything Omitted" (全略)? Yahari
says that's the way the book said to begin a letter. Don't you mean,
zenryaku, the "Salutation" (前略)? Yahari made the wrong guess on the
synonym. If you omit everything, then there's nothing to write about.
Psycho Lock unlocked!
So Yahari was here at the Gokurakuan the night of the murder. Then he saw
thunder strike the bridge. Yahari says that note was not meant to threaten.
"If you don't want your secret to be known..." No matter how you look at it,
that's a definite threat! says Itonoko. Yahari says that's a "Love Letter".
Yahari says his hot love can melt the coldest of all snowy mountains.
Then what is this secret mentioned in the letter? Yahari says isn't it
obvious? It is our hot relation to each other. Then why the sealed
envelope? That all he could find, says Yahari. You are silent. This is
what you get for unlocking that Psycho Lock? It's Yahari, you should have
known better.
Itonoko suspects Yahari is still hiding something. This witness did say he
saw something amazing. We got thrown off track. Yahari says thunder hit the
bridge. You say no, it's something else more amazing. Itonoko says to
Yahari, if he hides anything more from the prosecution, then he could arrest
Yahari right now. Five Psycho Locks appear from Yahari. You decide the only
way you can get Yahari to talk is on the Witness Stand. End of Day 1
Detective Phase.
11c. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 1
Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 1. February 9, 9:47 AM, Waiting Room # 1.
Ayame is surprised at Mashisu. It looks like he didn't know about Ayame's
secret. Well, whatever he saw, you will get it out of him one way or another.
Today, the first witness will probably be Bikini, the murder witness. Ayame
insists she didn't kill Ellis. Ayame noticed that you are a prosecutor.
If they find out... You say don't worry. You have this all planned out.
The prosecution's job is to doubt people. Today you are the lawyer. The
lawyer's job is to believe in the client. That's what a friend said to you
once. Watch from the defendant's chair to see if you can handle it.
10:00 AM, Courtroom # 7. The trial of Ayame Hazakurain is now in session.
The judge is the one from episode four. You notice there is no one in the
prosecution's seat. The judge says it seems like the prosecution is not
ready. He doesn't want to waste anymore time. With the prosecution seat
empty, this means they didn't have confidence in prosecuting the defendant.
The judge is about to make his ruling, when a whip crack stops him. The
prosecution is ready. You immediately know who it is. It is Mei Karuma!
She says legends are just the thing of the past. She is just Karuma now.
That's all. Mei is here on special assignment. She flew in directly from
America. The judge seems to recognize the defense. There was a prosecutor
that looked just like you. You tell him it's just his imagination. Mei
says a soft man like this doesn't exist in the prosecution office. Mei
whips the judge into silence. The judge is about to confiscate the whip,
but you tell him, let her be. If the prosecution wants to crack a whip, or
drink coffee, then so be it. There is one truth to be found. Mei says
this ought to be fun, Reiji Mitsurugi. Now begins the dream match of
Reiji Mitsurugi versus Mei Karuma.
Mei says she thought today's opponent would be Ryuuichi Naruhodou, but this
is the time she has been waiting for. The chance to beat Mitsurugi in court.
She whips the judge then says, the stage has been set. Proceed with the
trial. The judge asks Mei to explain the circumstances of the case. Mei
says the victim is Ellis Tenryuusai, a picture book artist. The body was
found in the Hazakurain Compound. The statue's sword pierced her waist area.
The crime scene photo is entered into evidence. Mei continues on,
the priestess Ayame is the suspect. We have a witness. You think to
yourself, it's about to begin. It is the first and last time as a lawyer in
this court.
The witness needs some boxes to reach the proper height of the microphone.
She is the head priestess of Hazakurain, the name's Bikini. The judge says
she doesn't look like her name. Mei whips the judge and says, the courtroom
is a holy garden of judgment. Anybody with an impure heart shall leave!
You tell the witness that you heard she saw the murder. The judge says tell
the court about your actions that night. In the testimony, Bikini says that
night, she helped a student in the Inner Temple. As you can see, she has a
bad hip. She left the care of the student to Ayame and she returned to the
Main Temple. There is no bath in the Inner Temple, and that is what she
needed. Upon her return, she saw it.
Mei says there is one problem with this statement. This guy shouldn't trip
up here. In the cross exam, on the part where she says she left the student's
care to Ayame, show her Ayame's Written Testimony. The witness will be
tested on her observation and memory. So explain this. The defendant,
Ayame says, after ringing the bell, she stayed in her room. This means she
never went to the Inner Temple. Mei objects and says, the defendant and the
witness. Which has the greater possibility of lying? The defendant lied
to save herself! You object and say that wouldn't pass for a plot. The
crime scene was in the Compounds of the Hazakurain. If the defendant wanted
to protect herself, she would have said she went to the Inner Temple.
The judge says this defendant wouldn't seem like the type to lie. Mei gives
him a whiplash. She says anybody can lie. The judge says the witness's
memory is in question. The judge orders her to add to the testimony, about
Ayame. In Bikini's revised statement, she says Ayame was there at the Inner
Temple. She was the same as she was at dinner time. On that part, show her
the Hood of Ayame. Bikini says Ayame was wearing that. Mei asks, how did
you get your hands on that? You say that's the point, prosecutor Karuma.
On the night of the murder, this hood was given to someone as a present,
before ringing the bell. You know by now, if the witness did see Ayame, then
she wouldn't be wearing this hood!
You think to yourself, not bad, this feeling of exposing a contradiction.
Maybe you can get used to being a lawyer. So this is what Naruhodou does.
Order, order in the court! Mei asks the witness if she carried any spare
hoods around. Bikini says yes, there were extras. However, for one person,
only one hood is issued. Ayame's hood was one of a kind. Mei says there
were extras, so it's possible to put one on. There's nothing conflicting
there. You think to yourself, that can't be true. Inconsistency spreads
seeds over the heart. Seeds called doubt. Now tell the court what you saw
after bathing. The seeds of doubt are already growing on the judge's heart,
you think to yourself. Just a little stimulation should make them fully
grown.
In her testimony, Bikini says she finished bathing around 11 PM. She
thought about returning to the Inner Temple. That's when she heard a noise
from the compounds. When she peeked, Ayame stabbed the katana into Ellis.
Ellis resided on the corner room facing the compound. Ellis was dropped
from there, then stabbed. The judge says this would be like witnessing Mei
slicing Mitsurugi in half with her whip. You think to yourself, this judge's
imagination is on the same level as Itonoko's. Mei says, "Idiotic
imaginations is what creates idiots, not what idiots must do. It is settled,
Reiji Mitsurugi." You say, "Can't you do something about that habit of yours,
of addressing everybody by full name?"
In the cross exam, at the part where she saw Ayame stab Ellis, probe to ask
if that really was the defendant. Bikini says there was one strange thing.
The criminal wasn't wearing a hood! However, Ayame did give away her hood to
someone, so it's not strange. Mei says, you've just dug your own grave,
Reiji Mitsurugi, while doing her finger wave. You say this statement is
important. It seems like this is a disadvantage, but you have no other
leads. Add it to the testimony. Mei says, "If you want to strangle your
own neck, I can lend you my whip." After some thought, look at the witness's
last statement. "After the body dropped, Ellis was stabbed." Point out the
contradiction by showing her the Autopsy Record.
You tell Mei to read the autopsy record more carefully. The victim was
dropped from about 3 meters high. However, this drop was after the death of
Ellis, not before. If the defendant did stab the victim at the compound, then
how could the defendant drop the body 3 meters from there? Order in the
court, order in the court! The judge guesses the victim was killed in her
room. Mei says it would appear so. The victim was killed in her room by the
defendant, then the body was tossed out the window! Objection! You say, was
there any traces of blood inside Ellis Tenryuusai's room? A stab like that
would leave blood. Mei says there were no traces of blood in the victim's
room. The judge says, that whip left traces of blood on his face.
Mei whips him again and tells him he knows, in the case of blade stabbing, the
timing of the most violent release of blood is when? Mei says the stab
itself doesn't produce much blood. It is the pulling out of the blade that
causes most of the blood to spill. You agree, saying the blade would act as
a "lid" over the wound. Mei says the final answer has arrived. The victim
was stabbed with blade intact, then was dropped from the window! The judge
says the prosecution claim is valid. He orders one more piece of testimony
from the witness. In the testimony, Bikini says when she looked, the blade
was already stabbed inside. She doesn't recall seeing the defendant the
moment of the stab. It was the first time she saw this much blood. That
caused her to faint. When she woke up, Kyouko's blade was in Ellis. Mei
says, Karuma is about perfection, this amount is expected, right, Reiji
Mitsurugi? You silently disagree.
In the cross exam, when she says that's the first time she saw that much
blood, probe there. You ask if she did see the blood. Mei says when
Ayame was arrested, she was found meditating in her room. Her blood
stained costume was neatly folded and tucked away to one side. You want
to pursue further. So the witness saw blood, but there was a discussion
earlier that not much blood comes from the stab. Bikini says she saw
Ayame pull the katana out of the body. The judge says add that to the
testimony. Bikini asks, was it that important? You say to yourself, "You
couldn't imagine how!"
In the added statement, Bikini says she saw the blade pulled out, all the
way from the base. On this statement, show her the Shichishitou as
evidence. You say Bikini is a reliable witness, but this testimony is full
of contradictions. The witness claims the murder weapon pierced through
all the way to the base. Then it was pulled out smoothly. Mei demands
an explanation. Look at the evidence. Can this blade go all the way to the
base? It looks as though the defendant wouldn't be able to handle this blade.
Mei objects and says "Looks as though" is a nonsense phrase. Look at her.
She could make a man or two cry if she wanted to. The judge sustains the
objection. The judge has a few tears due to the whipping.
You counter with, if the blade was stabbed to the base, then it couldn't be
smoothly pulled out due to the many prongs on this sword. Then there is a
problem with the amount of blood. The stabbing weapon acts like a lid.
A weapon of this shape would widen the wound, causing the blade to not be
able to hold on to the blood. Mei says that's just speculation. The body
was stabbed with that weapon. Even the Shichishitou can be pulled out
smoothly and hold the blood. You say that's not all. If this weapon was
stabbed all the way to the base, then why is there only blood on the tip?
Mei doesn't respond. If the witness if correct, then there should be blood
on the whole blade!
Mei says, just as expected, Reiji Mitsurugi. The ability to find many
contradictions in one piece of evidence, there is only one other lawyer she
knows that can do that. You say there can be only one answer. The murder
weapon that took the life of the victim... was not this Shichishitou! Mei
says that's stupid thinking from a stupid idiot. You say, why is that
blade believed to be the murder weapon? Kyouko held it. Yes, but if you
think about it, that's all there is. That scenery left a strong impression,
one that made us believe the Shichishitou was the murder weapon. The
judge tries to restore order in the court, but Mei whips him down.
Mei says even if that is true, it doesn't change anything. The witness saw
the defendant stab with a blade-like object. You say, then the prosecution
should be able to answer this doubt. Where is the real murder weapon?
Surely the police have gone over the Hazakurain and the surrounding area.
Did they find anything resembling a blade? Mei hesitates, then says none was
found. Bikini says she remembers something. She knows where the murder
weapon could be. Mei says let us hear her testimony. In her testimony,
Bikini says she witnessed the murder at around 11 PM. After informing
someone of the crime, She went out to the Front Gate Area. There were
tracks in the snow, indicating the Snow Mobile was used! It takes 15 minutes
to walk to Oboro Bridge, but if the snow mobile was used, 5 minutes would
be nothing!
When she was unconscious, the murder weapon could have been thrown away into
the Godou River. Ayame can drive the snow mobile? Mei says there were
tracks of a snow mobile around the Gate. Here's the picture. The tracks
start from the Hazakurain and end at the Oboro Bridge. File this photo as
evidence. Mei says there are no more problems. The currents of the Godou
River are fast. Even in winter, the river doesn't freeze. It's an ideal
place to dispose of a murder weapon. With this in mind, begin the cross
examination. When Bikini says see saw snow mobile tracks, probe into that
statement.
Bikini says that's the lone vehicle of the place. It is the main
transportation during heavy snowfall. The snow mobile was parked at the
Front Gate. Ask further about it. The snow mobile was still warm? The
witness, judge and prosecutor all have trouble understanding the question.
You explain if the snow mobile was used, the engine would still be warm.
Bikini says she wasn't there to touch the mobile. However, the vehicle was
not covered in snow. Now thinking about the reason the criminal would go
to the river, makes you wonder. Was there really a need to go there? On
the part where Bikini says the criminal threw away the weapon into the
river, show her the Snow Mobile Track Photo.
The picture shows that the snow mobile was used. That's right. The question
is, why is there only one set of tracks? If the criminal threw the murder
weapon into the river, then on the return trip, there should be two sets of
tracks from the snow mobile! One going and one returning from the river.
Mei says you are forgetting one thing. It was snowing that night. The
tracks going to the river were erased by the snowfall. This way, there is
nothing wrong with the picture. So it snowed on the way to the river, then
stopped on the way back. What do you say, Reiji Mitsurugi? You say there
is a contradiction in that statement. Mei asks you to explain. You say
none needed.
This evidence tells all. Show her the Weather Data as evidence. Bikini
witnessed the murder at 11 PM. So the murder weapon would be thrown away
after that time. Now, look at the weather report of that day. Snow fell
from 7:00 PM to 10:50 PM. So the witness saw the murder at 11 PM, the time
the snow had already stopped falling. The tracks could not have been
erased! Mei recoils backwards. Mei says how pathetic of you to rely on the
weather. The one thing that can't be trusted, is the weather forecast. The
judge says this is report is data, not a prediction. Mei whips him to
silence. She says it is inevitable for error to show up in weather records.
It could have still been snowing at 11 PM at the crime scene. You must
prove it wasn't snowing at the crime scene.
Show him the Crime Scene Photo. Was it snowing in the compound at the time
of the murder? Look at the picture. Everything is covered in snow. Except
for one thing. The victim. There is no snow covering her body. When she
was killed, the snow already stopped falling! To sum it all up, if the
criminal went to the river to throw away the murder weapon, then there should
be two tracks left by the snow mobile! Sorting out the facts, it would be
like this. That night, someone used the snow mobile and left the Hazakurain
Compound. Looking at the tracks, the destination was the Oboro Bridge. At
this time it was still snowing. The tracks made then would be erased by the
snowfall. When that person returned, the snow had stopped, but the tracks
remained on the ground.
Bikini says something is wrong. There is only one key to the snow mobile.
Mei says the defendant possessed that key the night of the murder.
Afterwards, the key was found in Ayame's room. Bikini says that night, the
snow mobile was used by Ayame to go to the Inner Temple. You say if the
snow mobile couldn't cross the bridge, then Ayame left the vehicle at the
foot of the bridge to go to the Inner Temple. Bikini says when she left the
place to return to the Main Temple, there was nothing at the foot of the
bridge. When the witness returned to the main gate, the snow mobile was
there, and it was covered in snow.
You say this doesn't make any sense. What was the snow mobile used for? The
defendant didn't use it to go to the Inner Temple. If she did, then the
mobile wouldn't be at the gate, like Bikini saw it. The mobile was not used
to throw away a weapon. If so, then two tracks should be in the picture.
One thing is certain. When the snow stopped, someone used it to return to
the Main Building. The judge says that is enough from this witness. If
only there was a witness to see the snow mobile. Was there anybody around
the bridge the night of the murder? Bikini can't think of such a person.
Nobody would be stupid enough to be out in this cold, unless it was really
important.
Wait a minute, something clicks inside your head. You know of one person who
was out there that night. This witness may or may not have seen a snow
mobile, but there are two things about this person. This witness saw
something amazing. The other reason is this idiot, I mean person, was out
in that cold night. Who is it? Show the judge the profile of Masashi Yahari.
He was the student of the victim. What was he there for? You could tell
about Ayame, but that could make things more difficult. Instead, you say
Yahari is an artist. He was looking for a beautiful scenery to sketch.
Mei asks, what did this witness see? You say that's what you want to get
out of him. Yahari is here, in the crowd, so it wouldn't take long to bring
him up here. The judge orders a 20 minute break. End of Part 1.
11d. Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 2
Day 1 Courtroom Phase Part 2. February 9, 11:15 AM, Waiting Room # 1.
Ayame is speechless. We only have 20 minutes. There is two things you want
to know. Did Ayame really go to the Inner Temple? Bikini says Ayame was
there. Ayame insists she stayed in her room. The other thing is the snow
mobile was used sometime between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM. Did Ayame use the
snowmobile? Ayame says there is only one key. She did use it. For what
purpose? She cannot tell, five Psycho Locks appear. She cannot tell until
that student is alright. She means Mayoi. Can Ayame still say she didn't
murder the victim? Ayame says she cannot take away life, no matter who it
is. You are here to find the truth. Soon she will understand.
11:36 AM, Courtroom # 7. Trial resumes. Mei says during the intermission,
a rowdy person was held up at the audience seat. The guy was sketching.
Sketching of the defendant is strictly prohibited, says the judge. The
picture was a woman with a devilish face, cracking a whip. (Yahari was
drawing his impression of Mei). Mashisu Tenryuusai is now on the witness
stand. Mei whips him immediately and says that picture was an insult. This
witness tried to run away when presented with the invitation. Yahari came
here and found a great model. Mei whips him several times and says, stop
the chatter, and start providing useful testimony, like a man!
In his testimony, Yahari says he was gazing at the stars from the mountain
hut. He walked around the bridge several times, but there was no snow
mobile in sight. That night, he never met anyone at the bridge. The girl
he was waiting for dumped him and his teacher is dead. Now he's all alone,
help me, Mitsurugi! The judge warns Yahari not to talk to the lawyer during
the testimony. Mei didn't ask for name or occupation. You admit this
witness has been involved in several cases. In the cross exam, on the part
where he says never met anyone at the bridge, show him the profile of
Ryuuichi Naruhodou. So Yahari, he has come one step closer to realizing how
much trouble he can bring.
That night, Bikini told Naruhodou to call the police. At the bridge,
Naruhodou met someone. It is the witness sitting right here! Yahari, maybe
he needs to change. Just tell us what you saw that night. In the testimony,
Yahari says he went to the mountain hut at around 9 PM, so that would be
around 10:30 PM. While laying in bed, something flashed before his eyes.
Looking outside the window, the Oboro Bridge was on fire. There was thunder,
but he immediately went to see. That's when he ran into Naruhodou. Mei asks
what happened to the burnt bridge? Yahari says it completely burned down.
Naruhodou did try to cross that wreck and ended up falling. No serious
harm, just a nagging cold.
Mei says, as usual, she doesn't know if Ryuuichi Naruhodou is lucky or
unlucky. In the cross exam, on the part where he says thunder struck and he
immediately went, probe there to ask how soon? Yahari says about 5 minutes.
Mei asks, how far is it from the hut to the bridge? Yahari says the snow
stopped falling, about 5 minutes. As for the bridge, it was a "Banquet in
Full Swing". It was like grade school kids at a camp fire. You ask him,
why didn't he call for help? Normally, if someone saw a bridge like that,
they would call for help. There was a public phone at the bridge. Yahari
says he was going to. The judge orders him to revise the testimony, on why
he didn't call for help.
Yahari says when he got there, Naruhodou came within one minute. Now, on
this statement, show him the Weather Data as evidence. Can Yahari, who's
own existence is a contradiction, understand the problem of that statement?
The problem is "Time". Yahari admits that's not one of his strong points.
"3 minutes after Masashi leaves, a car follows him. Now, how long until the
car catches him?" Something like that? You say it is much simpler than
that. The thunder struck the bridge. Yahari went to the bridge
immediately, or so he claims. Look at the weather data for that day.
According to the report, the thunder hit the bridge at 10:45 PM. The
distance from the hut to the bridge is 5 minutes. So Yahari was at the
bridge by 11 PM. This doesn't add up. Speaking of 11 PM, that's the time
the murder occurred.
So Naruhodou would still be at the Hazakurain. There's no way Yahari could
have met Naruhodou at the bridge! Yahari says he is Mashisu Tenryuusai.
Mei whips him and says it hasn't been proven the murder was discovered at
11 PM. The head priestess did say around 11. It could have been earlier!
Wrong, Mei Karuma. No matter what, Naruhodou was not at the bridge. The
weather data says it took 30 minutes for the bridge to burn up. It was
burning until 11:15 PM at the least. Naruhodou didn't see the bridge burn.
When he arrived, it was already burnt up. Yahari went to the bridge at
11 PM. Naruhodou came around 11:15 PM. What is this witness hiding? What
was he up to in those 15 minutes?
Yahari thanks you for waking him up. Mei says that blank space of 15
minutes is not important. Yahari agrees. You say it is important. The
bridge was burning, a telephone was nearby, yet he still wouldn't report it.
So Yahari was watching. He was at the bridge after it completely burnt
up, yet he still didn't report it. What was the reason? Yahari says, he is
serious now. He will tell, but are you ready for it? In the testimony,
Yahari he is Tenryuusai, the artist. He was sketching in front of the bridge.
He was caught up in the moment. The sight he saw, he put it directly onto
the paper. When he came to, the fire was gone, and that guy came
stumbling across.
You still have doubt. For this witness that sounded like a proper reason, a
normal testimony. Why did he hide this? The defense shall uncover it.
Yahari says, don't regret it. In the cross exam, probe at the part where he
says he sketched something. Was it the burning bridge? That and something
else. Tell me about this something else. Yahari warns you. You will
regret it. Mei whips him and says, show us the ridiculous sketch. The
judge asks, what do you think? You think to yourself, if you see this
picture, you feel like the end of the world will come. That's how bad a
feeling you have. You take the chance and ask Yahari to present the sketch.
Even Yahari couldn't imagine his debut would be this. The sketch is that of
the burning bridge, with what looks to be a lady figure, flying through the
sky in a blaze. Mei says this is better than she expected. Yahari says it
took time to get the fire color just right. Right now, nobody had the
courage to ask about the strange flying object. You say to Yahari, what is
this ominous thing at the top? Yahari says it is Ayame-chan! She should
take it easy. She could hurt herself flying like that. You have no response.
You tell Yahari to be truthful. Was it really the defendant? Yahari says
yes. (Yes as in, yes the end of the world has come). Mei says this is a
bad dream. Just to be sure she's not dreaming, she gives the judge a whip
crack on the cheeks.
The judge cannot believe someone could fly. Mei says there was one case of
human flight. Yahari says yes, Ayame flew 10 meters high from the bridge.
This witness is your responsibility. Take this sketch as evidence. Yahari
revises his testimony. He says, Ayame-chan was flying, with her white hood
fluttering about! On that statement, show him Ayame's Hood. You say this
flying object cannot be Ayame. Mei says explain. According to Yahari, this
person in the sketch wore a hood. Mei whips Yahari. She says, there is an
idiot more stupid than the defense. You say, that night, Ayame wasn't
wearing a hood, since she gave her's to Naruhodou prior to ringing the bell.
You ask Yahari if he believes this flying object is Naruhodou. Yahari gets
jealous, that Naruhodou has the hood instead of him.
The judge is about to toss the sketch into the trash, but Yahari just laughs.
He has been waiting for this day. He has proof it was Ayame who flew across
the bridge. The judge reluctantly agrees to hear another testimony. Is
this nightmare for real? In the testimony, Yahari says when he went to the
bridge, she wasn't there. He worried about her, so he searched the area.
On the ground, he found this pretty crystal half buried in snow. Surely
Ayame wore a replacement hood. That night, nothing else could have lost a
crystal. Upon closer inspection, the crystal has blood stains on it. It
was found near the bridge. The crystal was half buried, so it still must
have been snowing. Take the crystal as evidence.
Yahari says by tomorrow, you shall call me Masashi-sama. (It would be a
palindrome, a mirror reading from left or right). In the cross exam, at
the part where Yahari says, nobody else lost the crystal, show him the
Photo of Ellis. There was one who lost a crystal that night. Ellis
Tenryuusai,the victim. See the picture? She carried a staff with a crystal
on the tip. Yahari says, give me back my picture! Mei says a crystal like
that is abundant everywhere. Mei has a similar one of her own. You say
look at this. The staff from the crime scene. The crystal is missing from
the staff. You say, if someone did fly over the bridge that night, it wasn't
Ayame. She didn't have a hood.
At the landing point, the crystal wasn't the defendant's. Ellis was the one
flying across the bridge! Mei says, "Idiotic debate between idiots, naturally
leads to an idiotic conclusion." These scribbles that pass as a sketch,
people can't fly. So reject this. Yahari tries to explain, but Mei whips
him and orders silence. She continues on, this crystal, is there just to
blind the eye. Think about it, Reiji Mitsurugi. Ellis was in her room the
night of the murder. She had no reason to go near the bridge. Therefore,
this crystal has no relation to this case. That's all.
Objection! You say listen, Mei Karuma. Only the vain would be satisfied
with that answer (Full name rebuttal!). The victim's crystal was found at
the bridge the night of the murder. There has to be a connection! Mei argues
that the crystal was thrown away, nearby the bridge after the murder. The
crystal does have blood stains. It's natural to believe it was dropped after
the murder. The criminal threw this crystal away to confuse the search party.
For the same reason, a worthless sketch was prepared! Yahari says he's not
the criminal. Mei says, joking aside, when did this crystal appear at the
foot of the bridge? Until that is proven, she won't believe the crystal
is connected to the case.
You think to yourself, you don't have proof Ellis left the Hazakurain
Compound. That night, if the crystal was dropped before being killed, then
the case will have a whole new outlook! The judge wants to hear the
defense's final answer about the crystal. If it is not related to the case,
then this witness would have been a waste of time. Mei says she has a
penalty waiting for you. Can you do it? Prove the crystal was dropped
before the murder, that is. Yes, you can. It is not, "If I can prove it."
It is, "I will prove it." That is the way of Ryuuichi Naruhodou! This
crystal does have a relation to the case. Mei says your eyes, they look
like Ryuuichi Naruhodou's when he is cornered.
Show the judge the crystal itself as proof. This was half buried in the
snow. Yahari agrees. If the snow kept falling, he may not have found this
crystal. That's all you need to hear. It is clear it was snowing a little
when the crystal was dropped. Look at the crime scene photo. There is no
snow on the victim's body. Therefore, the crystal was dropped before the
murder! Order in the court, order in the court! The victim did go to the
bridge that night. Something happened that made her lose her crystal.
There are blood stains on the crystal. There is a real possibility the real
murder location was at the Oboro Bridge!
Objection! Mei says the crime scene was not at the compound? Spoken like
a true idiot! You ask who is stupid and what is stupid. Mei says Bikini
witnessed the defendant killing the victim in the compound. You say
that's different from the truth. What that witness saw, was the murder
weapon being pulled out of the body. Mei says, same thing, as she bangs
her fist on the table. You say, wrong. Mei said so herself. In the case
of blade stabbing, the stab doesn't produce much blood. The pulling of the
blade produces the most bloodshed. If that is true, then the murder scene
could have been at the bridge. The blade was still inside, so there was no
loss of blood!
Mei says you are forgetting something. The body of Ellis was found in the
Compounds of Hazakurain. It would take 15 minutes from the bridge to go over
there. It isn't possible to drag a corpse that far! You come this far,
go as far as you can go! It's time to show her the possibility. Show her
the Track Picture of the Snow Mobile. On that winter night, there was one
way to transport the remains, that's the Snow Mobile! It has been
established that the snow mobile was used that night. Mei claimed it was
used to throw away the murder weapon, but she should be able to understand
a corpse can be transported like that as well. Order in the court! The
judge frantically pounds his hammer to restore order in the court.
Another whip crack from Mei. She won't accept that fact. You have dug
yourself your own grave, once again. Mei says Ayame was the only one to
use the snow mobile last night. The defendant carried the corpse. You
say too late, Mei Karuma. The defense has already established that this
case needs further investigation. We need to know the real place of the
murder, the reason for moving the body and what does this sketch mean?
Mei says there's no need to think. A fool doesn't have the eyes or mouth
to see and speak the truth! She has her whip aimed at Yahari. You say
this witness wouldn't lie to hurt a woman he likes. This sketch is the
truth.
The defense stands by that. The judge says he can't make a ruling now.
You think to yourself, your job here is done. You admit Mei Karuma was
the best partner. The reason you stand here today, is to pull this case
out of the dark, then pass it on to Naruhodou. Yahari says, why didn't you
say so earlier? Mei doesn't want to hear your circumstances. She planned
to crush you today. This witness is no good! She whips Yahari until he
passes out. Court is adjourned! End of Day 1 Courtroom Phase.
11e. Day 2 Detective Phase Part 1
Day 2 Detective Phase Part 1. February 9, 3:43 PM, Hotta Clinic, Intensive
Care Unit. Back to Naruhodou's point of view. While resting, you look over
a past case. The first trial of Chihiro Ayasato (See episode four). A
truth that you don't want to believe was waiting there. Chinami Miyanagi.
Written in the records, she's not the same person you know. You were
swallowed by the Godou River, but was saved. You do have a nagging cold as
a result. You will recover by afternoon. The witness, Yahari, you are sure
Mitsurugi can handle him.
Same Day, 2:43 PM, Oboro Bridge. Mitsurugi greets you. He says your face
looks green. Itonoko is there also. You say your temperature has gone down.
You have gone over the trial records for today's hearing. You're impressed
Mitsurugi held up pretty well. Mitsurugi says the real danger is just ahead.
The main point is the murder weapon. The Shichishitou was not the weapon.
There is a katana sleeping somewhere no one knows about. Itonoko says not
to worry, he will find it. Mitsurugi says he thought about returning to the
office. There is something he will search out. It is about the defendant,
Ayame. Mitsurugi says he is positive he met her somewhere. He is doing this
because he knows he can't get it out of your mouth. Mitsurugi leaves.
Itonoko says, let's go. About this bridge, he has prepared an emergency
repair on it. They want to get to the other side. He will call you when
it is ready. You cough like you did that day 5 years ago, in your first
trial appearance as the defendant. Itonoko leaves. Let's go to the front
gate. You hear someone talking. It is Yahari. He wants a heroine for his
new picture book. Mei says no and whips him. She says, the idiot who
forgives an idiot is more stupid than that idiot! Don't you agree, Ryuuichi
Naruhodou? You can't seem to remember her, so she whips you to jog your
memory.
Yahari says that's no good. Mei-chan. This guy is on the brink of life and
death. Mei says, this country would say "Whip the Dead". Yahari says to you,
tell Mei for him, she should be a model for my new book, "Mei-chan no
Muchi-Muchi Daibouken". Mei whips him. Before asking her to be a model,
first, he should learn how to give a proper testimony! Yahari insists he
saw Ayame fly. He runs off. Mei says it has been a year since our last
meeting. Talk to her to find out Mei was in America this whole time. Back
then, she came for revenge. At 13 years old, she became a prosecutor. Her
father was the legendary Gou Karuma. He's no longer here, after you beat
him about 3 years ago. Mei will defeat you, at any cost.
It is for her only, nothing to do with her father. About today's trial, Mei
says she was surprised, honestly. She planned on fighting against you. She
never would have thought that fellow would be in the lawyer's chair. Reiji
Mitsurugi. He was the student of Gou Karuma. Mei says Mitsurugi told her
this case has special significance to Naruhodou. That's why she came to
crush you. You crack a smile, but Mei whips you. She can't believe that
idiot, did such a stupid thing for this idiot. As for the case, Mei says she
glanced over the materials on the plane ride over here. She laughed at your
foolish actions. What were you thinking, trying to cross a burned down
bridge?
You weren't thinking of anything. You had to cross. Mei says an idiot who
doesn't think is worse than an idiot who does think. Really, you were just
concerned for Mayoi, but you don't tell her that part. It is possible
something happened over there. Visit the Main Building of the Hazakurain.
Bikini is there. She says maybe she made a mistake. Letting Ellis die and
putting Ayame in this situation. The guest is trapped on the other side,
and the little girl is missing. Harumi's whereabouts are still unknown.
Bikini says she is getting old. She has lost confidence. In today's trial,
she didn't mean to deceive you. Bikini did see Ayame pull the blade out
of the victim.
She believed that, until this morning. The witness that came on after her,
said he saw Ayame fly across the bridge. She lost confidence in herself.
You say, don't worry about him. Yahari gets into all kinds of trouble. You
believe Bikini and Yahari are truthful. Who could explain the differences?
About the Inner Temple, Bikini says she met Ayame there. Bikini admits that
she shouldn't have left Mayoi there. This Godou Mountain Area is known for
earthquakes. A big one could cause the Inner Temple to crumble. That place
is the land's solitary island. Across the bridge, there's nothing, except
for that Inner Temple. It is surrounded by river, rocky cliffs, and the
forest. Nobody lives there. If someone did run over there, there's no way
out without the bridge.
About the victim, what was she doing here? Definitely, she wasn't here to
train. You ask why Bikini calls her, Ellis-sama. Bikini says, Ellis is the
elder one. How do you know that? Five Psycho Locks appear. Looks like the
victim was not just another customer. As for Harumi, Bikini doesn't know if
Harumi was with Ellis. After dinner, Harumi was gone. According to the
detective, Harumi didn't come home, so she must be on the island over there.
Now, visit the Compound Area. Search the statue and the staff on the ground.
The crystal was found at the bridge, but the staff is here. What could this
mean?
Return to the Main Building. Itonoko wonders what you are doing here. He
says the bridge can be crossed now. Mei whips the detective. That's her
greeting for Mr. Moustache. She whips Itonoko down to the floor. Mei will
do the investigation. Mei whips you and says she will guide your
investigation. Go back to the bridge. Now you can cross over to the
other side. The place looks different. Mei says the search has begun.
Harumi is here. So, she was here that night. Harumi was lonely here. The
bridge was gone. Harumi notices that's the prosecutor that bullied Mayoi
last year.
Harumi doesn't like Mei. Mayoi didn't do anything wrong. Mei whips your
happy face. Harumi is sorry. She cries, then runs off to somewhere. Mei
whips you for making a little girl cry. Search the incinerator. There's
something inside, or so you think. It's empty. Something is different,
though. Snow did cover the incinerator the last time you came here.
Right, Mei Karuma? Mei says, listen, Ryuuichi Naruhodou, calling me by
full name irritates me. You were just trying to imitate her. By the gate
next to the Inner Temple, there is a small door to a courtyard. Remember
this place for later.
Go inside the Inner Temple. Mei wonders what is wrong with you. Mayoi was
here, but the room is empty. Something is different here. Search the lock
on the door. Two days ago, this wasn't here. Mei says it looks like it is
guarding something. She has never seen a lock like this before. You have.
It is the same type of lock and chain used in the Psycho Lock. Search the
scroll on the right side wall. Mei wonders what this yellow poster is. It
looks to be covered in sauce. Mei doesn't see a woman on the scroll. The
smell of the room, this sauce must be curry. Someone splattered curry over
this scroll. Mei wonders what Curry of India is doing here. This looks to be
the curry from the dinner two nights ago. Rewrite your evidence file on this
item.
A voice tells you that you are too late, Maruhodou. It is Prosecutor Godo!
Mei says, prosecutor? You wonder why Godo didn't show up in court today.
Godo says he heard the same about you. You say you had a cold. Godo says
he had something to attend to that was a little more important. It is
something you'll never understand. Mei says she has read about it. This guy
is the worst prosecutor. This guy failed to show in the Holy Courtroom.
Godo pauses, then asks, "Who is this bitch?" You tell him it is Karuma,
the one who took Godo's place today. Godo says, "Good job. You're relieved
little girl. Dismissed. It's time for the adults to step in." Mei protests,
but Godo says, "I don't like talkative girls. I'll say this only once. Go
home."
Mei whips you for no apparent reason. Godo says a whip is not enough,
Maruhodou. You don't get it, do you? You have done something that you will
never be able to recover from. Godo seems different today. A powerful force
is behind that mask. It is anger, mixed with grief. Now if you try to show
Godo some evidence, he will just brush you off. Godo says, "My eyes are
playing with the seagulls over the horizon. I have no intention on helping a
lawyer." Mei orders him to help, even a little. You think to yourself, not
by you, Mei. To be rejected and dismissed coolly like that, she never knew
how frustrating it is. Mei is probably still pissed off at Godo.
About his rest from court today, Godo says, he told you this once before,
remember? He has to fight you. He returned from Hell to do so. Godo says
he is man who died once. To bring the dead back from Hell, it requires
worthless procedures. It requires periodic, precise inspection of bodily
functions, and adjustment and replenishment of inner bodily materials.
The bothersome thing called modern medicine gives him this shameful life.
That is what Godo is. You ask about that mask. Godo says, this ugly little
thing? He doesn't wear it for fashion. Without this mask, he can't see
your idiotic face. Godo says his eyes are dysfunctional. Even with this
visor, he cannot see completely.
This piece of junk body got an inspection. Mei asks him how he died in the
first place. Godo says, ask that guy over there. Me? Yes, you Maruhodou.
You know when and who did it. You don't understand, yet something moved
inside your head. The case where Godo was murdered. You know do it. Godo
says in time, it will be clear. About the thing you won't recover from,
Godo says, this side of the Onboro Bridge, is the Land's Solitary Island.
Did you know, the police that came here today, they are frantically searching
for the student that disappeared? Godo says, speaking for the head
investigator, Mayoi Ayasato doesn't exist this side of the Onboro Bridge.
That can't be.
Godo says, he won't say it twice. The possibility is zero. There is only one
other place, it's inside this cave. There is only place the police couldn't
search. Godo says in this cave, the temperatures can drop below freezing. If
Mayoi is here, the chances for survival are next to none. Godo says you have
let Mayoi Ayasato die without doing anything about it. Mei asks, why isn't
there an investigation? You can see that lock, can't you. It is a trick
lock. He is making arrangements to unlock it. So Maruhodou, thanks to you,
another woman is dead. You don't understand what he means by another. You
haven't forgotten have you? About 3 years ago, there was a woman who died
because of you. The sister of Mayoi, it was Chihiro Ayasato!
Godo accuses you of killing Chihiro. You deny it, but Godo says 3 years ago,
Chihiro was following a lead on some man. She made an enemy out of a huge
opponent. (You know this case. Chihiro was chasing the lead on Masaru
Konaka, the head of the Information Company, Kona-Culture. Konaka ended up
killing Chihiro and he used his powers over the government, law, money, and
information to cover it up. With the help of the spirit of Chihiro, you
were able to prove Mayoi's innocence. See episode 1-2). You say you put
closure on that case. Godo says yes, the criminal who murdered Chihiro was
captured, but she won't come back. Back then, only you were there by her
side. You should have protected her, but you didn't.
Godo says, "Chihiro Ayasato, your teacher? I could just laugh, Maruhodou!"
You took her life, and now you are about to take the life of her younger
sister! As for the lock, Mei says break it down. Godo says don't. This
area is known for earthquakes since long ago. After the numerous beatings
the land has taken, this cave is unstable. Unnecessary shock will cause
the temple to collapse. Mei says hurry and open it. Godo says this trick
lock doesn't have a keyhole to pick open. It is some kind of puzzle. The
only one who can open it is the one who set this lock. Who is that person?
Godo says the defendant, Ayame. The training is held in this cave. The
priestess locks the door with the trick lock. Mayoi entered here two
nights ago.
You think to yourself, Bikini said she saw Ayame here, Only Ayame can
release this lock. Godo made arrangements for Ayame to come here. Godo
says it is time to get back to work. You ask if it is true about Mayoi.
Godo says he is never wrong. This is the only place she could be in. All you
can do is pray. Your friend is bringing the defendant over here. He means
Mitsurugi. Godo says listen, Maruhodou. He doesn't approve of you. Mei
says you should choose your friends more carefully. Go back to the entrance
to the temple. Someone is talking to himself. Itonoko wonders if he should
wash that thing in water. Mei whips him as a greeting. Itonoko says don't
go in that small door over there. That's the door with the sign "No
Admittance".
There is a courtyard back there. The police are in the middle of
investigating, so don't go there. That's an order! No, more like a plea.
As soon as Itonoko leaves, Mei says let's go inside. Inside the courtyard,
Mei senses a strange atmosphere. Itonoko scolds you for coming in here. Talk
to Itonoko to find out the investigation is on the way. There are two things
that are on his mind. The lantern and the ground area with no snow. In the
examination of that, he can't say it with kind words. As for Mayoi, Itonoko
says the search team is moving independently from the police team. On this
side of the bridge, there's nowhere to hide. We just have to wait for
Mitsurugi to arrive. Ayame should be making her way here.
Itonoko says Mitsurugi wants to speak with you. Don't expect good news.
Mitsurugi's voice was dark as can be. Search the blood stained lantern. The
letters for "Mayoi" is written upside down in blood. Search the little red
object on the ground. It looks like an amulet. Itonoko says it looks to be
the victim's. On the victim's neck, there were traces of several threads.
The leather strings match those found on this amulet. Take this as evidence.
(Wait a minute, the victim's amulet is here? This amulet is worn by the
Head of the Kurain Style of Spiritual Mediators. You have a bad feeling about
this...).
Talk to Itonoko about the blood letters. Itonoko says it is the victim's
blood. The precise examination is not in yet, but he is sure. Mei says you
know what this means. Why are the letters written upside down? Itonoko says
he searched it out. That night, the lantern must have been upside down! Mei
ignores him and says, Ellis must have wrote that with her own blood. Itonoko
says, looking at the evidence, this courtyard was the real place Ellis was
murdered. Itonoko says Ellis was murdered here. So what about what Bikini
saw at the compound? Itonoko says, what do you think, Mei? Mei whips him and
says use your special investigation skills and come up with an answer.
Itonoko says the evidence, the blood letters on the lantern. After the
murder, someone created that scene over there! He says that can't be.
Remember, until now, we couldn't get in here. The Oboro Bridge was down.
Itonoko, helped fix the bridge. No one came here before the police. Somebody
could not have brought evidence over here. Itonoko thought about washing
away the blood letters with water. You think to yourself, if this were the
real murder scene, then we should check out Bikini's case. Return to the
bridge, then go to the front gate. Ayame is here. Mitsurugi says Godo issued
an emergency for the police to act on. You tell them to hurry. Ayame and
Mitsurugi leave to go to the cave. You want to go with them, but Mitsurugi
says no. He tells you Mayoi is in a delicate place. This mission is to
rescue, then search.
He can't allow the public inside. He will inform you of the progress. Ayame
tells you saving Mayoi is priority one. Mei agrees. Mitsurugi will close off
the bridge after crossing it. Mei whips you back into reality. Don't just
stand there, you still have something to do. Go to the Main Building. Bikini
is there. Ayame was here with the red prince. She did want to tell him it
was her fault. Mei says don't worry, she did a fine job as a witness. Bikini
says only Mei has said that to her, but she wishes the guy in blue would say
so too. Mei gives you a good whipping. You say she did a fine job, but Mei
still whips you anyways. It is time to challenge Bikini's Psycho Lock.
Show her the Magatama to begin the process.
In the Psycho Lock, you say it is becoming clear, for Ellis, this Hazakurain
has meaning. Bikini says Ellis is an author of picture books. You did notice
from the beginning, who she really was. Show her the Amulet of the Head of
the Kurain Family. Ellis wore this. It is not just an ordinary amulet.
Bikini asks what it means. It tells who she is. With this amulet and another
piece of evidence, you know what Ellis is. Show her the Hanging Scroll.
Although it is covered in curry, this scroll portrays the leader of the Kurain
Style of Spiritual Mediators. The symbol on the top side proves it. This
amulet has the same symbol. It is the proof of the leader. The new leader,
Mayoi Ayasato was a student here. Bikini says, that was Maiko's daughter?
Yes, the lone successor to the leadership. All five Psycho Locks break apart.
Bikini says Ellis came here about a week ago. When Bikini saw the amulet, she
almost fainted. Nobody had seen this person for 17 years. This amulet is
the Crest Amulet. It identifies the leader of the house. The wearer must
keep it on until death. Ellis Tenryuusai's real name is Maiko Ayasato, the
mother of Mayoi and Chihiro! Why did she appear here, after 17 years missing
in action? Bikini says circumstance. Before she can tell you more, an
earthquake shakes the place. The Inner Temple could crumble! Mei says it
stopped. Let's go. Mei says tell the group Karuma is here, they should let
us through.
You freeze in place. Earthquake. This is the one thing Mitsurugi is afraid
of. When you reach the front gate, Mitsurugi is there. What is he doing
here? He says sorry. He let Ayame escape. She's gone. He couldn't catch
her. It was the earthquake, right? The seemingly invincible Reiji Mitsurugi
has an weak point in earthquakes. When it happened, his eyes went blank and
he lost consciousness. You wonder if he still thinks about "that".
Mitsurugi says that's not the reason she escaped. He let the defendant
escape, but there's no way out of the island. She will come here, we haven't
seen her. Mitsurugi is planning a search team. You ask if he looked in the
Inner Temple.
Mitsurugi says no, it is not necessary. There's no escape from there. You
say the Ayame you know would not try to escape. The rumblings could have
caused the cave to collapse. You believe she is in there. Mitsurugi takes
you there. The good news is, the cave is still intact. The bad news is,
five locks are securing the door now! Ayame is here. What happened here?
End of Part 1.
11f. Day 2 Detective Phase Part 2
Day 2 Detective Phase Part 2. Same Day, Sometime, Inside the Training Room.
Mitsurugi wonders if this is the thing Godo talked about. Yes, the trick
lock. Mitsurugi tells the defendant to start working on the lock. Ayame
says sorry, she can't. You wonder, how did this lock suddenly increase to
five? The increased locks, there is nothing Ayame can do about it.
Mitsurugi is sorry he let this happen. Mei will look after the defendant.
Mitsurugi should get some air. Mei whips Mitsurugi to get him moving. Mei
says she doesn't care how many mistakes Mitsurugi has made, hurry and
recover! Mitsurugi says he will be at the Courtyard. You say Mitsurugi has
pride. He's probably crying in a corner of that courtyard.
Mei says, pride is something that interferes with living, but for good work
to be done it is absolutely necessary. Mei will stay here to help solve this
puzzle. Talk to Ayame. She is sorry for escaping. She heard this place has
many earthquakes. She came here in a daze. She didn't run for freedom. The
cave was safe, but it was as you see it now. Who put this many locks on the
door? Ayame says this trick lock is one of the secret treasures of the Kurain
Family. There are a few hundred possible ways to open this lock. That's why
only the person who locked it can open it. Ayame didn't set these? Ayame
doesn't understand. You say there was only one lock before Ayame came here.
You were here and saw it with your own eyes.
Someone searched this place, to lock Mayoi inside. Ayame should be able to
unlock the first one. Ayame says if they went one by one, it is possible to
unlock it. It would take time, maybe a day or later. Mei says it is better
than nothing. Ayame will now attempt to unlock this door. As for the night
of the murder, where was Ayame? It seems like there were two of Ayame. One
at the compounds, and another here, in the Inner Temple. Psycho Lock appears.
Leave it alone for now. Go to the Courtyard Area. The police are still
searching around. Mitsurugi is here. He tells you to go away. If you came
here to laugh at me, then do so.
Instead, you ask if he searched out Ayame. Yes, but it brought back some bad
memories. Talk to him about the investigation. Mitsurugi says the ground we
are standing on, it is a good chance this is the real scene of the murder.
The blood letters and the amulet contribute to that theory. There's no way
it could be fabricated after the fact. Could it have been Mayoi? Mitsurugi
says he has to doubt everyone. About the earthquake, he says the nightmares
have stopped, but he still shakes and gets shortness of breath. About 17
years ago, while in grade school, Mitsurugi was involved in a murder case.
A severe earthquake rocked the courthouse. That started it all. Mitsurugi
was trapped inside the elevator with his father and a court official. The
air became thin, and in the haze, something happened.
One shot of a gun ended it all. After that day, he became lost. Dreams,
family, and even himself was lost. That case was put to rest 3 years ago.
Mitsurugi knows. You became a lawyer to save him. As for Ayame, Mitsurugi
says when he saw her, something bothered him. He thought he saw her
somewhere. Somewhere as in the courtroom. Mitsurugi looked over his cases,
and he saw something. He did see Ayame's face once, about 6 years ago. It
was his debut and he admits it was his worst case. He is sorry, he can't
leak this information. The face he knows has a Jewel Dealer as a father.
There is no connection between her and Ayame. This person has no relation
to the case. He is sure of it.
You must show him the connection between the two you are talking about. You
don't have enough evidence, but show him Godo's profile. Mitsurugi says
this guy seems to be a legendary prosecutor. Mitsurugi sounds like a third
person talking. Mitsurugi says it is strange. If this Godo was an excellent
person, then it would have reached his ears by now. Mitsurugi says he has
data on all the prosecutors in training. All except Godo. So Godo is not
superior? Mitsurugi says you should know better. There is one possibility.
Godo could have come from another route to a prosecutor. For example, Godo
could have been a former lawyer. That's Mitsurugi's best guess.
Go to the entrance area. It's time to look for other people. Go to the
bridge. No one is here. Visit the mountain hut, the Gokurakuan. Harumi
is here. She asks, where is Mayoi? You try to say not yet, but Yahari yells
at you. This mountain hut is where losers hang out. This is where losers can
find comfort with each other. Get out, you don't belong here! Harumi got a
face painting from Mashisu. Yahari says we are going to gather wood. They
are building a campfire to bake some potatoes. Don't bother us! Yahari warns
Harumi not to listen to this guy. About Yahari's sketch, Yahari won't talk.
He will settle here with Harumi. Us losers must stick together. Harumi
likes the sketches by Yahari.
She admits she can't draw. It seems like Ayame is flying. It is like a
dream. Yahari says it's real. He woke up to the sound of thunder. This
sketch is what he saw. As for the night of the murder, Harumi won't talk.
She says it doesn't matter. You say it does. Harumi was with Ellis that
night. Harumi was on the isolated side of the bridge. Harumi says she is
sorry, she was bad. Five Psycho Locks appear. Her spiritual powers
disappeared. Harumi says it's over. A mediator who can't call spirits is
like a painter who can't draw. Harumi was trying to call a spirit, but
she failed. Yahari yells at you for making Harumi cry.
Go back to the front gate. Enter the main building from there. Bikini is
here. She wonders what happened at the cave. You tell her it's fine, but
another problem came up. It's the five locks on the door. She doesn't know
what to say. Only members of the Kurain Family can use that trick lock.
Let's finish this conversation we had about Maiko. Bikini says, a week ago,
Maiko came here to the Hazakurain. She showed her proof of identification.
Maiko said the bloodline of the Main Family was about to cease. To stop that,
Maiko came here. Bikini says the true successor to the Kurain Style, there
is only one per generation. The house leader and her daughter are the Main
Family.
The others are the separate Branch Family. As a result, the Kurain History
repeats itself. The assassination plot by a separate branch member, of
the Main Family. Bikini says the Kurain Style is real. You know firsthand.
In the 3 years with Mayoi, you have seen her possess the spirit of the dead.
Chihiro came in time of need. This style had an impact on the world. The
power to communicate with the dead. The true spiritual power. In the era's
possession of power, the Kurain Style lurked in the shadows. This authority
was absolute and commanded respect with everyone. In return, their lives
were not so abundant, more like poor. Trust was lost just by one incident.
About 17 years ago, the Kurain Style's authority fell to the ground. Thanks
to a certain case. It is in the records, but it is sealed. The DL # 6 Case,
that's the name! This DL # 6 case, you know all too well. It was a case
you handled about 3 years ago.
Here's a summary of the DL # 6 Case, from episode 1-4. The victim was
Shin Mitsurugi, Reiji's father. The suspect was Kotarou Haine, a court
official. The date was 12-28-2001. While the three were riding in the
elevator in the courthouse, a huge earthquake struck. The elevator stopped.
Reiji, Shin, and Haine were fighting for air. Reiji took Haine's gun just
before passing out. It went off. It was thought that bullet killed Shin, but
what really happened was that bullet went through the elevator door. Everyone
passed out. Someone killed Shin during that time. It was a mystery. So, for
the first time ever, the police used the help of a spiritual mediator.
It was Maiko Ayasato who helped them. Maiko called the spirit of Shin to find
out the killer. Shin himself was unconscious at the time, so he figured
Kotarou Haine killed him. Haine was put on trial. Under the orders of his
lawyer, Namakura, Haine had to pretend to be mentally ill to help win his
case. Haine was found not guilty. Now, doubt started to creep in, and this
"quack" Maiko was considered a fraud. The thing is, the fact that the police
used Maiko to assist was a secret. The public didn't know about it. Soon the
public knew due to someone leaking this information. That someone was
Soranosuke Hoshikage, Chihiro's teacher of law. The point is, Hoshikage
leaked the information about Maiko, but he had to. He was threatened by
Masaru Konaka, Chihiro's murderer. Chihiro found out about this, and ended up
losing her life.
As for Haine, he later on killed Namakura and framed Reiji for it. Haine
called Reiji out the middle of Lake Hyoutan on a boat. Haine pretended to
be Namakura. He shot his gun at thin air to create a witness, then he jumped
into to water, leaving Reiji on the boat with the murder weapon. Haine was
just following instructions on a note given to him. The letter was written by
Gou Karuma, Mei's father. As it turns out, it was Gou Karuma who was standing
in front of the elevator door when the gun went off. The bullet pierced
through the door, and ended up in Gou's right shoulder. Gou opened the
elevator door, took Haine's gun, and shot Shin Mitsurugi, the man who ruined
Gou's perfect record.
Gou Karuma was the real killer in the case, but it wasn't until 3 years ago,
the truth was known. Just before the statute of limitations took effect,
you, Ryuuichi Naruhodou, was able to solve this case. You proved it was
Gou Karuma who did it, when you showed the metal detector to find the bullet
in Gou Karuma's right shoulder. After the DL # 6 Case, Maiko disappeared.
How could you blame her? She can call spirits, but she can't help it if
the spirit didn't know who killed him. Maiko was missing in action, until
now! She is the murder victim in the current case!
Bikini says all kinds of media believed Maiko was a fake. You say, you
know the truth, she wasn't a fake. Bikini says yes, thanks to you, the truth
was known. The Kurain Family's recovery began. With this power, a new leader
would be chosen. That would be Mayoi. Bikini says the spiritual powers of
the Kurain Style lies in the blood. Out of all the daughters of Kyouko, only
one is chosen as the leader. The others not chosen become the Branch Family.
This is the main cause of tragedy. Mayoi did have a sister, Chihiro. Bikini
has heard of that name. Chihiro became a lawyer to investigate Maiko's case.
In doing so, she lost her life. However, the reason Chihiro left the village
was not just that. Chihiro didn't want a fight over the leadership between
the sisters.
After watching what happened with Maiko, Chihiro didn't want the same thing to
happen. Maiko had a sister. That sister chased the seat of the house.
Kimiko Ayasato was the elder sister of Maiko. Kimiko, you know that name.
About a year ago, at Mayoi's hometown, Kimiko tried to get her daughter the
throne to the house. Kimiko's daughter was Harumi. Here is another trip down
memory lane. The summary of episode 2-2. The victim was Dr. Tetsurou
Kirisaki. The suspect was Mayoi. Dr. Kirisaki wanted to call the spirit of
one of his nurses, Mimi Hanaka. Using Mayoi as the mediator, they attempted
to do so. Something went wrong. It seemed like the spirit called killed the
doctor. Kimiko told you to call the police, while she tended to Mayoi.
What really happened was Nodoka Hanaka, the sister of Mimi, was hiding in a
box behind the folding screen of the ceremonial room. If Mayoi attempted to
call the spirit of someone who was still alive, that would cause problems.
Nodoka put Mayoi to sleep, then threw her into that box. Nodoka then killed
Dr. Kirisaki, then pretended to be spirit Mayoi supposedly called. With the
help of Kimiko, Nodoka was able to clean up the murder scene and frame Mayoi.
As for the motive, the real killer was in fact, Mimi Hanaka. She wanted
the doctor dead, since he was the cause of the death of 14 of her patients.
Kimiko wanted Mayoi out of the picture, so the two conspired this plan.
The trick was, Mimi had plastic surgery to take the form of her dead sister,
Nodoka. Mimi gave herself away when she went out the wrong side of the car,
the driver's side instead of passenger's side.
Kimiko wanted Mayoi in jail, out of the way, so her daughter Harumi would
become the next leader of the house in place of Mayoi. Bikini tells you
something new. You did notice Ayame, didn't you? Ayame is the daughter of
Kimiko! You didn't know? Kimiko's other daughter probably knows. You
mean Harumi? You thought Harumi was the only child of Kimiko. Bikini looks
shocked. She didn't know about Harumi. Kimiko is in an isolated jail cell
right now. Bikini says, this means Kimiko had three daughters. Three?
Ayame had an identical twin sister. About 20 years ago, Kimiko lost the
throne to her younger sister Maiko. Kimiko broke down. A few years later,
the authority of the Kurain Style fell to earth, thanks to the DL # 6 Case.
Kimiko's husband knew his wife wouldn't be the house leader. He took the
two young twins and left home. Kimiko's husband was a Jewel Dealer.
After remarrying, one of the twins was dropped off at the Hazakurain
Monastery. That was Ayame. You ask if Ayame's twin sister, could it be...
What is the name of Ayame's twin sister? Bikini says sorry, she doesn't
remember. She only remembers that the father was a Jewel Dealer. Bikini
says this must be the tenacity of Kimiko toward the Main Family. Kimiko
lost her twins to her husband. Even so, Kimiko still pursued the dream
that one day, her daughters would become the leader of the house. The case
you are involved in now, may be the work of Kimiko.
You need more information. Go to the Compound Area, the site of the old
murder. Someone has a cheerful hum. It is Itonoko. He can't find any
clues in his search, but he doesn't mind. You there, what's going on?
Itonoko promised Mitsurugi, he will find the real murder weapon. That
jagged blade over there is not the real weapon. Itonoko doesn't have a
clue. He did find a strange letter. How's the investigation going?
Itonoko says it looks more and more like the real murder place was in the
Courtyard of the Inner Temple. The agency believes those blood letters on
the lantern are important. If Mayoi is not found in the cave, they will
have to assume the worst. Godo said so.
As for the strange letter, Itonoko says instead of a weapon, he found this
burnt scrap. This was in the incinerator of the Inner Temple. Just like you
suspected, that incinerator was used. Itonoko says you can have it. Spirits,
head of the family and such have no relation to this case. Take the cinders
as evidence. Although it is partially burnt, you can make out what seems to
be a set of instructions. About the murder weapon, another blade is out there
somewhere. Itonoko hasn't found it. It is now time for a scientific
investigation. He has a secret weapon. Think about it. The murder weapon
was a katana. In scientific terms, that is metal. Any questions? No.
Itonoko brings out the Metal Detector. He give you a chance to try it out.
Itonoko has been using this, but he had no luck in finding anything
significant. Agree to help him. This thing has been tuned to pick up
almost anything. Itonoko believes the real murder weapon is here. Turn the
switch on. The sensor will detect metal. The closer it gets, the quicker
the pulse. When it hits, the sensor will turn red. Search out anything that
turns red. It will react to things that are hidden to the naked eye.
(This part reminds me of episode 2-4, where you did something similar to
find a mini spy camera inside a stuffed animal inside the victim's room).
Begin the search. It will pick up things like the statue, the ladder, or
the stepladder and the metal railing. It will find spoons, ski poles, the
sled, a 10 yen coin and a laundry pole. The metal detector will also find
a wallet, a ballpoint pen, a metal jaw foot trap, and a 500 yen coin. The
place to search is the Staff left by the victim. Strange, isn't it? This
staff should be made out of wood, but the metal detector is picking up
something. Itonoko takes a look. You grab it and accidentally take the
head off the staff. Inside the staff, a sharp blade is revealed. This could
be the murder weapon you are looking for!
A blade hidden inside a cane. If the real murder scene was that courtyard,
Why is this katana laying over here? Itonoko says no one else knows about
this except the two of you. Looking at the "Shikomidzue", there seems to be
no blood stains. Itonoko's hopes go down. It could have been wiped clean.
The blade length is shorter than the Shichishitou. Itonoko will take the
blade back to the lab. Traces of blood can be picked up even if the blade was
wiped clean. Before Itonoko leaves, you want to hold on to the blade, until
Mayoi is found. You have a bad feeling about this. Itonoko understands.
He says let's keep this staff's identity a secret. You could use this
"weapon" in court.
Return to the bridge, then go back to the courtyard. Show Mitsurugi the
profile of Ayame's Twin Sister. Mitsurugi pauses, then says are you sure?
Yes, but you don't know the name. Mitsurugi says in the records he searched,
there was no mention of sisters. You say Ayame was dropped off at the
Hazakurain Monastery when she was little. Her twin sister was raised by a
father who was a Jewel Dealer. Mitsurugi jumps at the word "Jewel Dealer".
He says he might know this twin sister of Ayame's. You agree. Her name is...
Chinami Miyanagi! Mitsurugi says yes. About 6 years ago, in his first case
as a prosecutor, he admits he was inexperienced. That led to the death of
the defendant, Michiru Onamida.
Yes, you read the records on that case. You wondered about Ayame and Chinami.
This case of 6 years back was in Chihiro's files. Mitsurugi says Chinami
was a witness in that trial. She helped Onamida stage a make believe
kidnapping. Chinami also took the 200 million yen diamond ore from her
Jewel Dealer father. Five years later, Chinami sealed the mouth shut on her
sister, Yuuki Miyanagi by killing her. Yuuki and Chinami were not blood
related. Yuuki was the daughter that was born after Chinami's father
remarried. Then it connects to the case you know, the one where Chinami
attempted to kill you, but instead she killed Kikuzou Nonda.
You ask what happened to Chinami after the death of Onamida? Mitsurugi says
he didn't have to search it out. Chinami has no relation to this case.
Why do you say that? Easy. Chinami Miyanagi is already dead, says Mitsurugi.
You say, give me details. Mitsurugi says now he knows, about your case when
you were a student. Chinami Miyanagi was found guilty, thanks to the efforts
of Chihiro Ayasato. You remember, Chinami did have the look of the devil.
After the verdict, 6 years past. This year, Chinami was executed about last
month. Mitsurugi says this may come as a shock to you, but you understand.
Chinami has no relation to this case. The dead cannot be revived. That
phrase, is it really true? Looks like Mitsurugi doesn't know, or doesn't
want to know who the mother of Ayame and Chinami is.
Kimiko Ayasato, the branch family of the Kurain Style of Spiritual Mediators.
Mitsurugi knows, that fraud from 17 years ago. There was no clue in that
case. The police called a spiritual mediator. The lady was the leader of the
family. The result was an innocent man being tried for a crime. Mitsurugi
blames the mediator. That was the DL # 6 Case. You tell him, he will
understand, one day, if the Kurain Style is fake or not. Go to the cave of
the nearby temple. it is time to challenge Ayame's Psycho Lock. Show her
the Magatama to begin the process. In the Psycho Lock, you want to know
what Ayame was doing that night. She says she stayed in her room, but
someone saw her elsewhere. Show her the profile of Bikini.
This witness saw Ayame in two places. She also says Ayame helped Mayoi begin
her training. Ayame did go to the Inner Temple. One lock down. Ayame says
the training was going to start at 10 PM, so she came out of the Main
Building at around 9:40 PM. You say lies are not becoming of you, Ayame.
Show her the Hood of Ayame. She said so herself, she rang the bell at 10 PM.
Before ringing the bell, a witness was there to see her. Me, Naruhodou. She
gave this hood to you. Second lock down. Now a new mystery arises. That
night, at 10 PM, two of her were in different places at the same time.
Putting together everything you know, the answer is clear. Ayame was in the
Inner Temple, at the same time she rung the bell in the Main Building.
The only answer to this is, there were two of Ayame. She says that's
impossible. The proof is shown in the profile of Chinami Miyanagi, the
twin sister of Ayame. You know where Chinami is. She was executed last
month. Chinami did appear the night of the murder. Ayame says Chinami is
dead, have you forgotten? This is the training ground of spirits, the
Kurain Style. Somebody called the spirit of Chinami that night. Ayame
knew this, so she tried to keep that a secret. Unlock successful! Ayame says
that night, she was in her room. She heard another one of her was spotted
at the Inner Temple. Ayame knew it was her sister, the one who died a month
ago. So the one Bikini saw at the Inner Temple was Chinami Miyanagi.
You ask, why didn't you say so earlier? Ayame says whatever her sister did,
was right. She couldn't interfere with her sister's affairs. Ayame says she
is a traitor. She doesn't care if she's guilty. She says you know, the make
believe kidnapping that happened here about 10 years ago? That event screwed
with destiny. Ayame's sister piled on the sins, then lost her life. All of
it was started by her betrayal, says Ayame. It was no coincidence that
the location of Godou Mountains was chosen as the ransom payoff spot. In the
original plan, Ayame was supposed to help. She got scared and ran away.
You say it's natural not wanting to help. Stealing 200 million from your own
father? That's the worst!
Ayame says, still, she promised to help. Chinami didn't want the 200 million.
That kidnapping was revenge against their father. He fled from mother. That
would be Kimiko. Ayame says they were the twins born as the daughter of the
elder sister of the Main Family. The authority of power of the Main Family
was strong. As the elder sister, Kimiko was promised the throne as the leader
of the family. Ayame's father approached mother to gain that power. However,
Kimiko didn't meet the expectations. She lost the seat to her younger sister,
Maiko Ayasato. Soon after, the day came when Kurain's authority fell to
earth. The new leader, Maiko was considered a mistake. That was the DL # 6
Case. After that, Ayame's father took her and Chinami and the left the
village.
There's no need to stay in this rural village. Ayame came to this monastery.
When her father remarried, the family already had a daughter, Yuuki. Ayame
had no seat in the Miyanagi family. After that, Ayame never saw mother again.
Mother's seat in the family taken away and being thrown away by her family
left her body and mind in shambles, according to rumor. You think to
yourself, now you see what this case is about. Mei comes over and says she
has heard everything. This case is all about the Ayasato Family. One more
thing. Her twin, Chinami poisoned a lawyer. To hide the evidence, she met
with a certain student. What does Ayame know about this student? Ayame says
yes, just one word. "Depressing" guy.
Mei whips you. She tells you to get moving. Ayame will work this lock.
There is one more thing to do. You must break the Psycho Lock on Harumi.
Go to the Mountain Hut Area. Yahari and Harumi are there at the campfire.
Yahari says too late, all the potatoes are gone. Show Harumi the Magatama to
begin the final and toughest Psycho Lock. Now, after dinner, Harumi was
supposed to read picture books with Ellis. She didn't go, or couldn't go.
She had other things to do. She was worried about something. On the map,
point to the Inner Temple. Harumi is not ready to talk yet. She was worried
about something. You shall figure out what Harumi was worried about. If you
are right, will Harumi tell all? Yes. Good. Show her the profile of Mayoi
Ayasato. Mayoi was training in the special course. Harumi was worried and
she felt responsible.
One lock down. Harumi did go to the Inner Temple. You don't know what
happened. What time did Harumi go? She says about 9:30 PM. The training
was to begin at 10 PM. She didn't make it there by 10, thanks to the snow.
How did she know? She heard the bell, faintly. Harumi paid attention to the
bell sound. She couldn't afford to miss it. Why? Show her the Burnt Refuse
as evidence. Harumi was given instructions that night. This burnt letter was
found in the incinerator of the Inner Temple. Harumi followed the
instructions on this note. That's why she listened for the bell chime.
Second lock broken.
This letter of instructions was addressed to Harumi. It is almost burnt up,
but you can read bits and pieces. The last point. "When the bell rings,
call the spirit". Who was Harumi trying to call? If you think about it, the
answer is easy. Show her the profile of Chinami Miyanagi. Third lock broken.
The one Bikini saw at the Inner Temple was not Ayame, but her twin, Chinami!
Does Harumi know who Chinami is? Harumi says no, never heard of the name.
You know Harumi is Chinami's sister. Now the question is, who wrote this
letter? To call a spirit Harumi doesn't even know of, the writer must have
power. Harumi obeyed without question. Show her the profile of Kimiko
Ayasato.
Harumi didn't understand the letter, but she followed it anyway. This was
under her mother's orders! Fourth lock broken. Harumi is crying now, but she
says do you have proof she followed the instructions? Yes, even though the
letter doesn't say so, you don't have proof this letter was addressed to
Harumi. You do know, however, that a child did follow the instructions. If
an adult did follow the instructions, there would be no error. Show her the
Hanging Scroll. Harumi did this. Harumi is shaking. The final words of the
instructions say, "Throw the head of the family, the splendid death!" The
Kanji for Karei and Indou, Harumi couldn't read it. Remember, that night
Harumi read the note to Ellis. Ellis taught Harumi the Kanji for Karei and
Indou.
Harumi knew the reading, but she didn't know the meaning. Harumi thought it
meant Indian Curry, so Harumi threw curry on the Maiko poster. Harumi admits,
even she thought that was a little strange. Harumi thinks she is no good.
She couldn't follow her mother's orders correctly. She couldn't even burn
the letter properly. Psycho Lock Unlock Successful! Harumi says that night,
after dinner she went to the Inner Temple. She brought an extra pot of curry.
Harumi saw that scroll, so she thought that was the leader of the family.
In a way it was. Due to the snow, Harumi got there after 10 PM. She went to
the entrance area of the Inner Temple. She waited for the training to end.
She couldn't go into the cave. Entering is prohibited once the training
starts. Harumi was praying for Mayoi's safety. Harumi fell asleep. She is
sorry. Yahari says that's alright. He was waiting for Ayame and he too fell
asleep. Harumi was trapped. When she woke up, it was morning. The bridge
was gone and no one was at the temple. She thought everyone left her. She
burned the letter, or tried to burn the letter and warmed the leftover curry
at the same time. She cried for a while, then threw the curry onto the
scroll. Yahari says he slept in late and missed school many times. Harumi
says on the note, it said to call the spirit after the bell rang.
When the bell rang, she wasn't at the proper place. She tried to call
Chinami's spirit, but she couldn't! That's the first time that has ever
happened. She tried again and again, but no such luck. Yahari says don't
worry, one day he'll be able to fly. Harumi thinks her powers have
disappeared. There is one other reason, but it is unlikely. If someone
called the spirit before she did, then Harumi wouldn't be able to call that
spirit no matter what. Only one spirit can be called at a given time. Yahari
says you can't rent a video that's already rented out. So someone did call
Chinami before Harumi did.
Harumi says she is pitiful. She didn't listen to her mother's last wish.
This letter, mother said, was the last wish, so do as the note says. Mother
is in jail now. Every month, Harumi gets to visit her. Last month, Harumi
met Kimiko. Mother said, it's time. There's a job for you, Harumi. Before
her arrest, Kimiko hid a letter in her mansion. Read it well, then do as it
says. Do it for the Ayasato Family! Kimiko tells Harumi the location of the
hidden letter. Harumi says mother is always nice. She loves mother. For the
Ayasato Family, she is happy to help. It would help Mayoi too. You hesitate,
then agree. The letter also came with a picture of Chinami Miyanagi. With
it, she should have been able to call that spirit.
Harumi noticed something funny about the letter. It looked like someone
opened it before she did. The seal was torn. You rewrite the information
about the burnt letter. Thanks to Harumi, now you know. What can you say to
this innocent face? Godo appears and says, you finally understand, Maruhodou.
Not knowing, you know how big a crime that is. At the cave they are playing
with a puzzle. It is useless. Mayoi won't be coming back. You were supposed
to protect her. Mayoi and Chihiro. The two got caught up in something huge.
You, and only you were at their side the whole time. Only you could have
saved them. You say you did not know.
Godo says he's said this before, not knowing is a serious crime. Tomorrow,
everything ends. Godo leaves. Harumi asks if this is true. You believe
Mayoi is alive. We'll know by tomorrow. Harumi believes in you too. Now
we see Kimiko talking to herself. Good job, my dear Harumi. You don't
have to know anything. I've waited for this day. The bloodline of the
Main Family has ceased! Harumi shall be the next leader! It looks as
though Kimiko's final wish made it in time. End of Day 2 Detective Phase.
11g. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 1
Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 1. February 10, 9:39 AM, Waiting Room # 1.
Harumi says good morning! Oh, you are alone. Good morning, Harumi. Is
Mayoi safe? You still don't know. The place did have restricted access,
so you couldn't get in. Ayame is still there, working on the lock? No,
she's here, she is the defendant. Ayame isn't in the waiting room. That's
strange. She is in the prosecution's room. Mitsurugi comes in and informs
you of this. Ayame is meeting with the prosecutor to discuss today's
testimony. Ayame will be a witness today for the prosecution. It seems the
prosecution wants a confession, or so Mitsurugi heard. What is Karuma up to?
Mitsurugi reminds you. Mei is not the prosecutor today.
Godo will be your opponent today. Mei is at the cave attending to important
business. Mei is in the process of unlocking the trick lock, with the help
of Bikini. In 3 hours, the locks should be released by then. Hopefully,
good news can be delivered. Mitsurugi says Godo plans to end it all today.
There is no tomorrow, remember that. Mitsurugi notices your cold is gone.
You too have decided it all ends today. See you, partner. Mitsurugi leaves.
For all the mysteries almost none have an answer. The condition of Maiko's
death, the unbelievable thing Yahari witnessed and Kimiko's true intentions.
Today, you shall solve all these mysteries!
10:00 AM, Courtroom # 7. The trial of Ayame Hazakurain is now in session.
The head judge is here today. His younger brother was sick, so here he is.
Godo says, "Never knowing what will happen next, that is life. That is why
people want to settle their past. That is the mission and privilege given
to us." The judge asks for the opening argument. Godo says, "A person's
heart fades away, like a transient dream. In this wretched world, only one
thing never changes. The bitter, black darkness that spreads throughout
this cup." As usual, the judge doesn't understand. Godo says in the last
trial, the defendant wouldn't admit to being involved in this case. Today
her heart changed. Ayame has a confession to make.
You wonder why Ayame didn't consult with you first. Ayame is brought to the
witness stand. Godo says, ask for the name and occupation of any cutie.
That is my rule. Ayame does so. She is sorry, but she couldn't hide it
anymore. She is involved in the case. Not for the murder, but she did
clean up after the mess. Ayame says she took Ellis's body into the compound
and crafted that whole scene. The judge pounds the hammer. Order in the
court! The crowd is already excited. So she admits to being an accomplice
to the murder. 3 minutes into the trial, and you already have a cold sweat.
Godo says everyone is an accomplice. It just happens to be a murder case,
that's all. Right Maruhodou?
So this is the confession. This makes her testimony false, I'm afraid.
Godo tells Ayame to tell the court, who's crime was she covering for? You
can't tell where this is headed. Ayame says she was raised in the monastery
and is thankful for it. Hazakurain is a branch family of the Kurain Family.
She exists to protect the head family. She stained herself to protect "that
person", the daughter of the leader, Mayoi Ayasato! Godo says that's the
way it is, Maruhodou. Order in the court, order in the court! The judge
frantically tries to settle the crowd down. So, Mayoi is the real murderer?
Ayame says she saw it happen. Then she cleaned up the body to cover for
Mayoi.
You say, objection! Overruled, says the judge. He tells the witness to
testify what she saw that night. In the testimony, Ayame says that night,
she went to the courtyard of the Inner Temple. She saw Ellis strike Mayoi
with her staff. Mayoi was stunned momentarily, then Ellis delivered the
final blow. Mayoi dodged it and took the weapon away. That was self
defense. It wasn't Mayoi's responsibility! Godo says if the body were
moved to the compound, doubt on Mayoi would disappear. You think it is
strange. Yesterday, it was proven Ayame didn't go to the Inner Temple.
"She" appeared there.
In the cross exam, at the part where she says Ellis delivered the final
blow, probe there to find out Ellis threw away the staff and took a small
knife out of her pocket. Godo says your face, looks like you drank hot
sauce instead of coffee. Something wrong with your client's words? Yes,
she is your client. Yes you know. Godo says fine, add that to the
testimony. The judge says that's my job! Godo says listen, your honor,
I won't say it twice, I'll be the judge! In the new statement, show her
the Victim's Staff. Ellis couldn't have thrown away the staff. Ayame
says the staff is only good for a blunt strike. You tell her that there is
a blade hidden inside this staff.
If Ellis were to kill Mayoi, then she didn't need a small knife. She had
this fine katana! Godo objects, and says well done, Maruhodou. However,
what does this mean? That short distance, a long blade would be difficult
to wield, so Ellis could have opted for a small knife. The important
thing is, Ellis tried to kill Mayoi. Unless there's something wrong with
that, this witness's testimony stands. You understand. Ellis wouldn't kill
Mayoi. Show him the profile of Ellis Tenryuusai. Ellis is not her real name.
Her real name is Maiko Ayasato. Maiko is the leader of the Kurain Family
and the mother of Mayoi. Ayame asks if this is true. No doubt. The mother
reunites with her daughter after 17 years, then suddenly tries to kill her?
Can the prosecution please explain the reason!
Order in the court, order in the court! Once again, the judge frantically
pounds the hammer in an effort to calm the crowd down. The judge says the
witness's testimony seemed to flow naturally. Finding the truth now makes it
look much different. Throwing away a weapon and some family fighting, that
seems strange. Godo says in this world, nothing is impossible. Except for
one. Prosecutor Godo's No Guarantee Investigation. Godo heard the confession
this morning, just after his 8th cup of morning coffee. (Godo must have a
hole in his stomach). Godo says upon hearing this confession, he sent the
detective to search the place.
Here's what he found. It is a small knife, with blood on the tip. You ask
where was it found? You never found such a weapon in your investigation.
Godo says, did you check the pine tree? This knife was poked in the back of
the tree. After Mayoi and Maiko fought, this weapon flew out towards the pine
tree. The judge says the blood stain must be the victim's. Godo says haven't
you heard? He heard Ayame's confession this morning, at the 13th cup of
morning coffee. (Didn't he just say 8?). He didn't have time to do a blood
test on this weapon. The knife is entered into evidence. While this trial
is going on, a blood test shall be performed on this weapon. Godo says that's
my lover, take good care of it.
The judge says this testimony is the truth. Godo says cuties don't lie.
That's my rule. The next testimony is about the actual fighting she saw.
Ayame says Mayoi was stunned a little when hit with the staff. She avoided
Ellis's attack, then seized the murder weapon. Ellis backed into the lantern,
then Mayoi proceeded to stab Ellis with the knife. Ellis pushed away the
knife, but she finally fell. Ayame says it is possible Maiko forgot the
face of Mayoi after 17 years. In the cross exam, on the part where she says,
Mayoi stabbed Ellis, show her the Autopsy Record of Ellis. You notice how
strange Ayame was acting today.
Mayoi attacked Ellis, but the victim had her back to the lantern. So the
victim was stabbed in the chest. However, in the autopsy record, the victim
was stabbed in the back! How can this happen with her back to the lantern?
Godo says humans have an inner and outer side. The back can't change into
the chest. You object, saying Godo cannot use proverbs to settle a
statement. The witness has many unnatural statements. Ayame says for
sure... For sure you are soft, Maruhodou, says Godo. He sips his coffee.
Godo says, "It is said there are 253 different varieties of bitter coffee.
However, to separate those flavors, one must focus all of one's nerves."
Have you focused on this witness's testimony? The judge asks for an
explanation. Godo says the witness has testified about this and that. The
courtyard was dark. She couldn't see well. For humans to see one thing is
needed. That is light. Did you know? That night in the training room,
there is always a lantern lit in the courtyard. The judge says, so the
crime scene was lit? Godo says it should have been, but according to the
head priestess, that night, the lanterns couldn't be lit. It hadn't been
used in a while, so the place was dark. The only light was from the Inner
Temple. So, this solves all the contradictions. The staff dropped into the
darkness, the daughter's face couldn't be seen, and the beast that lurks in
the night, that's the limit on humans. Isn't that right, Maruhodou?
Order in the court, order in the court! Godo gives the data on the lantern
to the judge. This should light the candle of truth in your head. What's
wrong, your honor? Is it too bright? The judge says there is something
written on the lantern. Blood letters! You forgot, the judge doesn't know.
The even more shocking thing is, Godo doesn't seem to know either! Mayoi is
written upside-down in blood. Ayame understands. Ellis wrote it when her
back was to the lantern, with her own blood. Godo objects, he has no clue
what you are talking about. You say there are blood letters on the lantern.
Godo says that's stupid. Are you saying there is something written on the
lantern?
You think to yourself, "Oh my God", Godo cannot see the blood letters.
Yesterday, Godo did say his eyes were dysfunctional. He couldn't see
completely. The judge says this is important. It was dark at the crime
scene and these letters were left behind. What do you say, Godo? Smoke is
coming out of Godo's mask. Godo's brain is fried as well. He has trouble
speaking. Let's move on! It seems Mayoi did kill Ellis. Next, you appear
there, Ayame. She did something after the victim fell. Tell me, I'll listen.
In the testimony, Ayame says when Ellis died, she called out to Mayoi. She
felt she had to protect the successor to the leader of the Kurain Family.
Ayame dragged the corpse from the Inner Temple, then dragged it across the
Oboro Bridge. Then she placed the body on the snow mobile and took the body
to the compound. That's where she proceeded to hide the scar.
Ayame fabricated the stab with the fake murder weapon. Ayame says that was
her repayment of gratitude to the Hazakurain. After disposing the body, she
planned to return to the Inner Temple, but then Bikini saw her. In the cross
exam, at the point about the snow mobile, probe there to find out she had the
key to the vehicle. She parked it by the bridge. This was covered in the
last trial. Ask about the tracks. There's only one set of tracks. Ayame
says it was snowing when she departed. It stopped falling when the crime
happened at the courtyard. That created the track photo as you see it. This
statement is important, in your opinion, so you want it added to the
testimony.
In her added testimony, probe again. When the murder occurred, the snow
stopped falling. That's the reason for the tracks. Godo says, I see, the
snow. If it did stop snowing, that certain part would not make sense. Godo
says show me your arm, or is it index finger? Ayame is trying to pin the
murder on Mayoi, for some reason. Now on the part where she crossed the
bridge, show her the weather data. According to this, the snow stopped
falling at 10:50 PM. She couldn't have crossed the bridge. Five minutes
before that, the bridge was on fire due to a thunder strike! You say you
don't get it. No matter how well a lie is put together, it won't escape the
eyes of this lawyer!
Order, order in the court! You say, at the time of the murder, the bridge was
burnt down. The Inner Temple was cut off from the world. It is impossible to
carry the corpse across the bridge. The judge warns the witness, false
testimony is a crime of contempt. Godo objects, and says the judge is the one
who is an insult to the court. This testimony of the witness. Is it true or
false? That's petty stuff. The important thing is the truth of the matter.
Godo says, if the snow falls or the bridge burns, there are two immoveable
truths. Ellis's body was found in the compounds. and the other, the head
priestess witnessed Ayame fabricating the remains.
Ayame says that night, she was irregular. Her mind was in disorder. You
argue she's a witness. Godo says, "A person that fibs is also one that makes
the wrong guess. So explain, Maruhodou. At the time of the murder, the
bridge was burnt down. However, the body did make it over to the other side.
Can you prove this, perfectly?" You know you have to, but your mind is blank.
Godo says, you have no right to call this witness a liar! The judge orders
one more testimony. Explain the contradictions of the past statements.
In the testimony. Ayame says there was no other way to carry the corpse, other
than crossing the bridge. She must have made a wrong guess. The snow
falling? That's beside the point. Are you saying there's a way to cross the
burning bridge?
Godo presents a picture of the burnt bridge. This photo was taken yesterday
morning. Looking at the picture, the bridge is badly burnt. The supporting
wires are also cut. It would seem impossible to carry a body across that.
The picture is entered into evidence. Godo says listen, Maruhodou. I'll say
it again. If a human makes a wrong guess, then lying is human. The one to
see through the lie is also human. In the cross exam, at the beginning, where
she says there's no other way to cross, show her the evidence marked, Yahari's
Sketch. Godo says, the possibility is not zero, but your basis is zero. You
say there is a witness. Godo spits out his coffee.
The artist Mashisu Tenryuusai. He was at the mountain hut the night of the
murder. He saw something and sketched it onto this book. The judge says,
are you serious? The victim flew through the air? Godo says you have come
this far. There's no backing down. Now prove it! Your specialty is
reversing the thought process, after all. Do so with these scribbles.
The judge wants to hear the defense's opinion on the sketch. You say there
is something wrong with it. The witness did say he drew it as is. Godo says
this is going to be fun. It's time for that index finger again! Point to
the support wires on the left or right side of the sketch. It contradicts
with reality.
Godo tells you to show him the proof. Give him the Picture of Oboro Bridge.
Compare this photo with the sketch. In the sketch, the wire is raised above
the handrail. In the picture, the wire is hanging below the handrail. Godo
spits his coffee out. The judge says it could be a mistaken sight. Ayame
says it could be a mistaken drawing. Godo says might as well be out of place,
Maruhodou! You know Yahari can mistake some things he's seen. Why did he
mistake what he saw? When the witness saw this, he just woke up from a nap.
He was laying on his back, looking behind him. That's why the wires are above
instead of below. So the correct way to see this sketch, is to turn it upside
down. The victim didn't fly above the bridge. She slipped under the bridge,
like a pendulum! Godo spits his coffee out once more.
The judge pounds his hammer down. Order in the court, order in the court!
Objection! Godo says why a pendulum? You say the bridge was burnt. It was
in no condition to cross. The victim wasn't found in the island side of the
bridge. The criminal had a hit or miss gamble. To bring the body across the
chasm, a pendulum hade to be used! Godo objects and says put your feet on the
ground and think. The Oboro Bridge extends to about 20 meters. That's how
far from the Inner Temple side, to the Main Temple side cliff. For a pendulum
to clear that distance, a rope the length of at least 10 meters is needed.
It's not easy to prepare a rope that long!
You argue, it was an accident the thunder hit the bridge, so the criminal
didn't prepare a rope. There was rope ready in front of the eyes! That's
what was used. Show the judge the picture of Oboro Bridge. The "rope" was
the wire you see dangling in the picture. The bridge caught fire due to the
thunder strike. At the same time, one of the wires got loose. The criminal
had no time to waste, so the corpse was wrapped in wire, then swung across the
river, to the other side. That's the only way! Godo shakes his head, then
gulps down a whole cup of coffee. The judge says it is not impossible for
that to happen. Godo says possible, or impossible, that's not the point. The
important thing is, did it really happen? Show me evidence it really did
swing across like a pendulum.
Show him the crystal. Looking at the picture, one wire was out. Looking at
the overhead map, it is the bottom right wire of the "X" shape. That was the
launching point. So the path would cross over to the upper left part of the
"X" shape. That's the landing point. It seems on the other side, an error
was made when catching the body. On the landing point, remember the autopsy
record? It said, after death, the body dropped 3 meters to the ground. That
was the distance in height between the launching and landing point. The body
loosened from the wire, then dropped 3 meters at the landing point. The
resulting shock loosened the crystal from the victim's staff. The blood stain
on the crystal was on the victim's staff.
Even more important was the location of the crystal. It was found at the
landing point of the pendulum! The judge says the body was moved... As
he says this, Godo throws his coffee cup on your head. Godo says cool off
with that lukewarm coffee. The reasoning is fairly bitter and black,
Maruhodou. There is one thing missing, though. The fragrance. Godo says
the deep aroma that rises up is coffee's greatest accomplice. You don't
understand what he's getting at. Godo says, if the criminal shot the body
to the other side, then there must be someone to receive the package, the
accomplice. The criminal could not cross the bridge. So who did the
criminal entrust the body to? Tell me, Maruhodou!
The judge agrees with the prosecution. Show him the profile of Ayame. To
carry the body that far, the snow mobile had to be used. Bikini had a bad
hip, so chances it was her is slim. Godo objects, and says listen to the
witness's testimony. That night, she cleaned up the remains of the murder
at the courtyard. You argue this witness was seen at the Hazakurain,
creating the fake murder scene. The judge says so, there were two of Ayame?
You ask Ayame, why didn't she testify in the first place? About the
pendulum, you proved it was done this way. Ayame should know this. Ayame
claims to know nothing about that. To receive the body, Ayame must have
helped out.
She had to know about the pendulum. That is, if this witness is the real
Ayame. The judge asks if you are accusing this witness of not being who she
says she is. She's not Ayame Hazakurain? Godo objects and says, you're
not thinking what I'm thinking, are you? Maruhodou? Ayame had to have
received the body. Now you see this incompatibility. This Ayame's attitude
seemed to change overnight. She tried pinning the murder on Mayoi. The
real name of this witness is... Chinami Miyanagi! You never thought this
name would ever come out of your mouth again, especially in front of the
person herself.
You say, Ayame had a twin sister named Chinami Miyanagi. The judge says he
has heard the name before. Godo says, it's not your imagination, your
honor. Here's the data of Chinami. The judge looks over the files. Now
he remembers. 5 years ago, this witness captivated the judge.
According to the record however, Chinami is already dead. She was executed
last month. Godo shakes his head and sips his coffee. He says, "Death?
That thing has no meaning in this courtroom!" He slams his coffee mug on
the table. Order in the court, order in the court! "Ayame" says her sister
is dead. You say you don't need to explain it to her. That body has the
blood flowing through it. The blood of the Kurain Family.
More precisely, this witness is not Chinami, it is the spirit of Chinami
that has taken over a mediator's body. Godo says as a fairytale, it is
interesting, but even so, that's impossible. The night of the murder,
someone called the spirit of Chinami Miyanagi. Her twin, Ayame was at the
Hazakurain. Godo says that accident, is not possible! You say is was no
accident. It was planned all along! This letter proves it. This was
written by the mother of the twins, Kimiko Ayasato. Chinami was going to
be called. That night, in the Inner Temple, a second Ayame was spotted
there. In the instruction sheet, Chinami was to be called at a specific
time, when the bell rings, meaning 10 PM.
Ayame was there before dinner. The real Ayame gave you her hood. So the
Ayame spotted in the training room by Bikini was Chinami Miyanagi! Objection!
Godo says, do you know what you are saying? Chinami was called that night.
The plans are still here, however, one thing is clear. The person on the
witness stand is the real Ayame. Godo says calm down and think about it.
Chinami met Bikini, then was stuck on the island, due to the burnt bridge.
Later, the pendulum carried the corpse across. (This trick reminds me of
the circus episode, 2-3, where the statue hit the victim and the cape
latched onto the statue).
After that, Ayame received the body. The real Ayame, that is. Do you follow?
Yes. Good. Godo says the police received the call and went to the Main
Building of the Hazakurain. That's where they arrested Ayame, who was sitting
in her room. After that, she has been under the supervision of the police.
Ayame is glad you understand now. However, you are not satisfied. This Ayame
in front of you is not the same one as the one that night. Godo asks, do you
believe the real Ayame and the spirit Chinami switched places somewhere? The
judge says, until the identity of this witness is established, trial cannot
proceed any further.
You think to yourself, Ayame doesn't have the spiritual powers to call
Chinami. They must have switched places somewhere. The judge says, from the
time of arrest to the time now, did Ayame have a chance to switch places with
Chinami? You say yes, one chance. Yesterday, there was a few minutes of
blank space. Godo says explain this blank space. You say there was a time
where Ayame could move freely without anybody seeing her. The judge asks,
who allowed that free time? You hate to say it, but it was Reiji Mitsurugi.
Yesterday, there was an earthquake. You met Mitsurugi at the front gate. He
admitted to letting Ayame escape. When you got to the cave, "Ayame" was
there, but the switch had already been made.
The one in the cave was Chinami! The judge says, nonsense, but a voice tells
him to be quiet. The witness says it has been a while, your honor. The
judge recognizes the gesture of flicking the hair with one hand. It is
Chinami. Godo says he must ask, the name and occupation of this cutie.
That's his rule. She says Chinami Miyanagi, occupation, dead. Godo says
there is no need to hide the identity anymore. She is dead, after all.
Chinami says, you people cannot punish me anymore. You never expected a
reunion like this. It's time to settle this, now or never. End of Part 1.
11h. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 2
Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 2. 1:06 PM, Courtroom # 7. Trial continues.
The judge wants to know the truth. He wants the testimony. Chinami doesn't
mind. She says it would be better off not knowing the truth. The testimony
will be about the plan carried out that night. In the testimony, Chinami
says, the plan started with her death. Her daughter would be the leader!
Kimiko's foolish plot. The plan was to assassinate Mayoi Ayasato. Chinami
was to be the killer, then pin the crime on her twin, Ayame. The plan got
screwed a little, but the plan ended up a success. You say, wait, Mayoi
assassinated! Godo says if you have any questions, do so in the cross
exam. That is my rule!
The judge agrees and says that is his rule too. (You have cross examined a
parrot and a transceiver of a hit man. Continuing the tradition, now it is
time to question the dead spirit of Chinami). In the cross exam, you need
more information, so start probing at the beginning. About her death,
Chinami says it was a month ago, She died by hanging. It wasn't easy dying.
How about the meeting with the planner? Chinami says last year, Kimiko came
into the prison. Chinami was on death row, and Kimiko was the mother of
Chinami. It was easy to meet her. Shocking isn't it? The plan called for
Chinami's death to begin with, despite being Kimiko's daughter. This was to
make Harumi the next leader.
Kimiko was willing to sacrifice one of her daughters, for a shot at glory.
Chinami says her mother's mind was already twisted. Kimiko lost the glory
to her younger sister, Maiko. From that day forward, Kimiko plotted this.
At first, Kimiko considered us as candidates. Us, as in Chinami and Ayame.
Lucky for us, we didn't possess the worthless "spiritual powers". So we
were thrown away along with father. Chinami only cared for living by herself.
"My stupid younger sister, I drove her away to that poor old temple." says
Chinami. You mean Ayame? Chinami says, when her father remarried, the wife
had a daughter of her own. There's nothing better than less kids. That, and
the father didn't care for the kids anyway. The worst thing is that Kimiko.
She never gave up. Her tenacity formed a child named Harumi. Harumi has
plenty of spiritual power, unlucky for her. Kimiko gave her dream to Harumi,
to be the leader of the house. What a dumb and trivial little dream. As
for the assassination of Mayoi, Chinami says when the bloodline of the Main
Family ceases, the Branch Family has a chance. This is how Harumi was to
be the next leader. You argue Harumi would not approve of this plan!
Chinami says, Harumi's wishes are unimportant. Harumi is not important to
Kimiko. Only the leadership throne is important to Kimiko. It won't matter
how much sacrifice is needed. Her own daughter and even the life of Mayoi is
expendable.
So, Chinami killed Mayoi? Chinami is glad Harumi doesn't know. Harumi should
have followed the plan and called her spirit only. Chinami was supposed to
finish it. After all, you people can't touch the dead. Godo says so this
crime was pinned on the younger sister, Ayame. Chinami says we are identical.
If someone witnessed the murder of Mayoi by Chinami, then it would be easy to
frame her twin. The witness was Bikini. Chinami didn't expect Bikini to
return to the Main Building. As it turned out, Bikini did see Ayame's crime.
Chinami says younger sister? No, Ayame is a traitor. Chinami doesn't care
what happens to Ayame. Chinami says you will never understand.
Now, for the part about the plan deviating off course, Chinami says it
succeeded. Mayoi is dead. Now the house is Harumi's. You object, saying
Mayoi is trapped behind the locks in the cave. Chinami says as usual, an
idiot, Ryuu-chan. She says she hated you the first time we met. You believed
in everyone. You ask her, what does she think of Kimiko's plan? Chinami says
it's a stupid and worthless plan. It doesn't benefit me. Yes, the world's
worst plan. You say, then why help Kimiko? Chinami says a good person like
you would never understand. The answer is easy. Unlike her, Chinami only
does things for herself. She helped Kimiko for herself. Chinami had plans
of her own.
In her added testimony, she asks if you know the purpose of killing Mayoi is.
It is not for Kimiko. From the day she was born to the day she died, Chinami
never helped one person. Chinami lives only for herself. It was her only
way of revenge. After thinking about it, the answer is clear. You do know
the answer. Show her the profile of Chihiro Ayasato. Chinami is dead, so
you can't touch her. For the same reason, Chinami couldn't get to Chihiro,
the one who helped put Chinami in jail in the first place! Chinami got her
first taste of disgrace when Chihiro proved Chinami was the one who killed
Kikuzou Nonda. Chinami plotted revenge, but gave up.
Godo says the reason being Chihiro Ayasato was already dead. Chinami says
there was only one way to get revenge. A spirit's pride is eternal, long
after the body disappears. Taking the life of Chihiro's most prized, the
prize being Mayoi, was the reason Chinami agreed to this "stupid plan".
You say Chinami is no different than Kimiko! Looks like Chinami inherited
her mother's twisted mind. Chinami says talk all you want, she's dead.
That night, around 9:30 PM, she came down to this world. Chinami quickly got
dressed, with hood and all. Taking the staff beside her, Chinami exited
the Hazakurain. (Wait a second, did she say, staff? That means...!)
Bikini didn't notice her. Bikini left, leaving Chinami alone with Mayoi.
The rest was easy. She cornered Mayoi into the courtyard with the lantern
in it. Chinami pulled out a knife she picked up in the storage room. She
attacked Mayoi. Chinami says the strange thing is, her memory disappears
right there. Chinami felt as though someone stabbed her. Mayoi probably
countered. You disagree. Chinami says she lost consciousness after writing
the name on the lantern. The blood letters of Mayoi, she hoped that would
place doubt on Mayoi. After that everything went black. Chinami doesn't
remember if she really did kill Mayoi. She remembered Mayoi's scared eyes.
When Chinami regained consciousness, she was inside the Shugendou Cave.
There was a strange lock on the door. She was trapped inside. Godo asks
why was she there? That's what Chinami wants to know. She panicked and
sweated. She hadn't seen the corpse of Mayoi. Until she confirmed she
killed with her own hands, she couldn't return to Hell. Godo says how
persistent. Chinami wanted to go look for Mayoi's body, but she couldn't.
She was locked in and didn't know how to open it. She wanted to get out,
but there was interference. It was around morning. Someone entered the
place. She thought it could be Mayoi, but she couldn't see. If a third
person saw Chinami, the chance for revenge would be over.
Chinami hid inside the cave. You think to yourself, only two people could
have entered there. Mayoi or Harumi. Harumi threw curry onto the poster.
Finally, Chinami released the lock, but it was too late. A bunch of
irritating flies crowded around her. The police repaired the bridge and
began their investigation. Chinami couldn't move, so she went back into
the cave and locked herself up again. Now she couldn't see with her own eyes
if she succeeded in killing Mayoi. Then a miracle happened. After the
earthquake, that girl came alone. The real Ayame. Ayame came to check on
the place. What an idiot, says Chinami. Chinami came out of hiding, talked,
then switched places. She locked up Ayame with five locks. That's when she
knew, our plan was a success!
Chinami made a wrong guess. That night, the one who called her spirit was
Harumi. or so she thought. It wasn't. The one who called Chinami's spirit
was Maiko Ayasato! It had to be. Chinami lost consciousness in the
courtyard. What was left of Maiko's body. Mayoi, Chinami couldn't do much.
Mayoi just committed one of the biggest crimes of all. She killed her own
mother! Order in the court, order in the court! Chinami says she did
attack Mayoi, but the one who snatched the weapon away and killed Maiko, was
in fact Mayoi! Objection! You say that's ridiculous. Chinami says think
about it. There is your favorite thing, the "evidence".
Mayoi disappeared. She's not in the cave. There's no escape from the Inner
Temple. There's only one place she could be. At the bottom of the Godou
River! Mayoi felt guilty for killing her own mother. A good little girl
like that couldn't take it anymore. Mayoi committed suicide by throwing
herself in the river! The body wouldn't come up in those rapid currents.
Understand, Ryuu-chan? You have trouble talking. Silence in the courtroom
is broken by the ringing of a cell phone. Someone has Godo's Theme Song as
a ringer! It's Godo's own phone! He answers it. It seems the locks in the
cave have been opened. As for Mayoi, only one lady was inside. Ayame
Hazakurain, the defendant.
Chinami says, naturally. She locked up Ayame there yesterday. Mayoi?
Swimming with the sharks? Godo says there was no one else inside the locked
cavern. You can only hold your head down between your arms. The judge says
the conclusion has come. Her own daughter, Mayoi, murdered Maiko.
Mayoi then killed herself by jumping into the river. Godo says, "Do you
know this saying, Maruhodou? If you eliminate the impossible, then the only
thing remains is the sole truth? Even if it is hard to believe." (Didn't
Sherlock Holmes say something similar to that?). Explain. Godo says this
woman claims Mayoi jumped into the Godou River. Is that the truth?
Remember her testimony? At the time of the murder, the bridge was burnt.
If Mayoi were to jump, it would be from the Inner Temple side. That is
impossible. Listen, Maruhodou. Your heart is shaking, settle down and
think clearly. The judge says show the proof that will overturn Chinami's
statement. Show him the Map of the Hazakurain Compound. Look at it, this
witness should know best! 10 years ago, Chinami herself jumped into the same
river! Look at the map. The Inner Temple side is surrounded by rock. If
someone jumped, they couldn't reach the river from that side. So the
picture of the bridge should have Mayoi's body on it! Godo says you've
finally noticed.
Order in the court! Chinami says stop struggling, how unsightly! Mayoi is
at the bottom of the river, there is no other place to hide. You tell
Chinami of the phrase, if you eliminate the impossible, then the only thing
that remains is the sole truth. Mayoi was not in the cave and she didn't
jump into the river. Godo says all possibilities have been eliminated,
except for one place. Chinami says you are bluffing. Where is her corpse?
You understand now. The forces of life cannot reach the dead. The ultimate
punishment for Chinami Miyanagi is... (Remember the circus episode? Where
was the murder weapon located?)
Mayoi is somewhere in this courtroom! Chinami did make a wrong guess, but
there was one more mistake. Right now, at this moment, whose body is
Chinami possessing? Chinami says Harumi. You say no. Harumi couldn't call
Chinami. She tried all night, but failed. Someone called Chinami before
Harumi could. Show her the profile of Mayoi Ayasato. Harumi couldn't do
it, Maiko was dead. That leave Mayoi. Right now, Chinami is possessing
Mayoi's body! The judge says he can't believe it. Chinami's purpose...
Godo says, the purpose was to kill Mayoi. If Mayoi called Chinami, then
what would happen? Why did Mayoi do this? The answer is, to protect herself
from Chinami!
With no place to run, where would be the safest place to hide? Yes, Chinami
thought Harumi called her spirit. Chinami looked around for Mayoi, but she
couldn't find her. Mayoi hid as Chinami herself! Chinami says she was
tricked by that brat! Mayoi killed herself. You say it can't be. This was
the only other way to disappear. Chinami says, that naive, stupid girl
couldn't have come up with a plan like that! Who gave her that idea? Someone
says, "I did." Chihiro is possessing Harumi's body now! Chinami shakes at
the sight of Chihiro. Smoke is coming out of Godo's visor. So, it was you,
says Godo. Yes. Godo says what a troublesome woman.
Chihiro tells Chinami to think about that night. Chinami cornered Mayoi in
the courtyard, then she lost consciousness. Chinami claims Mayoi did that.
Chihiro says no, Mayoi was unconscious too. When Mayoi woke up, she was in
the cave. Mayoi immediately called Chihiro. She left a memo of what
happened, and it asked, what should she do? Chihiro didn't know the exact
details, but she did know Chinami couldn't be let loose like that. Chihiro
told Mayoi to do two things. Call Chinami's spirit as soon as possible,
and lock herself up until help arrives. The single lock you saw was Mayoi's.
Chihiro had to act quickly, otherwise someone else was going to call
Chinami's spirit, that would be Harumi.
Harumi didn't quite understand the plan, so she tried to follow the orders as
best she could. If Harumi succeeded in calling Chinami, the worst would have
happened. Godo says, in using Harumi's body, Chinami would have killed Mayoi
at any cost. When will you accept that fact, Chinami? Your plan failed.
Chihiro says failed again. Chinami's attempt was unsuccessful. About 10
years ago, that make believe kidnapping was Chinami's first offense. Chinami
got the 200 million diamond, but Onamida escaped from prison. He met with
Yuuki Miyanagi. It was revealed, all of it. Chinami says it's not my fault.
It was that stupid inmate and that indifferent policewoman! A year after
that, Chinami attempted to kill Naruhodou.
You survived, but Chinami killed the wrong person. Chinami received the
death sentence. It's a long, idiotic story, which I don't feel like laughing
about. Chinami says you are a brat. Now Chinami failed one more time, by
letting Mayoi escape! Your prize, was in front of your face the whole time,
and you failed to catch it! All Chinami can do now is repeat the name,
"Chihiro Ayasato, Chihiro Ayasato..." over and over again. If it weren't for
her, Mayoi would be dead. That lawyer over there would have been guilty,
I wouldn't be dead now! Chihiro says, "You finally understand, Chinami.
You cannot beat me! Even if it takes a lifetime, no, even in death, you
cannot win! You shall forever be in shame in front of me!"
You say, "At the beginning of trial, you did say we could not punish you,
since you were dead. Even if the body vanishes, the pride is eternal."
Chihiro says, "This is the punishment you cannot escape from. You are
forever Chinami Miyanagi, the existence that is powerless to win! There is
no escape. The day you were executed, was the day your narrow bridge
burned down!" You don't care what Chinami has to say. You say, "Get out of
Mayoi, NOW!" Chinami's spirit floats up into the air, then burns away.
Mayoi falls to the floor. The real Ayame takes the stand. She was rescued
from the cave. Godo says Chinami has returned to her world.
The judge says Maiko was not the only victim. Mayoi and Harumi were victims
too. The judge says Chinami's spirit should never be called again. You are
surprised the judge knows the ways of the spiritual calling. The judge
says his younger brother, the judge from yesterday, told him he needs to
study more. So, the judge read that occult magazine. The judge has seen
many cases and many backgrounds. To understand the values, we must understand
the world first. Now for Ayame Hazakurain's verdict... Objection! It is
Godo! Godo says it's too early to pound the hammer. Chihiro says the trial
is not over. Godo says, Maruhodou, remember the testimony of the evil spirit?
Chinami said she cornered Mayoi into the courtyard. She attacked Mayoi, then
lost consciousness.
She felt like someone stabbed and killed her. The actual one who died was
the one who called the spirit, Maiko Ayasato. So, who was it? We still
don't know the answer to that! Godo says with no other suspects, the
defendant is still under doubt. There is no evidence to prove her innocence.
The judge says there is no preparation beyond this point. Godo says he will
present the last witness of the prosecution. This will decide it. The one
who killed Maiko Ayasato. Chihiro says, is that all right, Mr. Prosecutor?
Godo says, of course, Mr. Lawyer. The judge asks who is this witness? Godo
says isn't it obvious? There is a substantial, no make that fatal witness.
The one who watched her mother die, Mayoi Ayasato! You say she's in no
shape to testify. Godo wants to know the truth. Mayoi will stand as a
witness. The judge allows it. He orders a recess. Give the witness time to
recover. When the doctors say okay, trial will resume. Godo says, "Listen
Maruhodou, I will not acknowledge you. You are always like this. Never
knowing the underside of a case, the defense that is just enough to tide over.
In time of need, a pretty lady appears and helps you out. That guy is not
an elite! Come at me, this time, with all your strength!" (Godo means no
help from Chihiro).
2:58 PM, Waiting Room # 1. Ayame is sorry, she couldn't tell you about
yesterday, when you went to the cave. Chinami already switched out with
Ayame. You wonder why Ayame helped her twin. Ayame says Chinami, poor little
girl. Mother threw her away, father didn't love her. It was not the same for
Ayame. Ayame had Bikini for a mother. Chinami should have came to the
monastery with Ayame. Ayame liked her sister. She was smart, had movement,
and she never complained when things were tough. Ayame promised to help her
twin sister. That was the kidnapping of 10 years ago. Ayame wanted to help,
but she admits she was a scared coward and ran away. As a result, Ayame's
sister-in-law, Yuuki Miyanagi died.
This was Chihiro's first case. Ayame couldn't end it there. People that
doubted Chinami appeared. Two lawyers. One was Chihiro Ayasato. The other
was Souryuu Kaminogi. Chinami poisoned the coffee of Kaminogi, then hid the
poison by giving it to you, Naruhodou. Chinami planned to kill you too.
One more thing. The night of the murder, the one who cleaned up the body
of Maiko, was Ayame, right? Yes. She says after ringing the bell, she
returned to her room. At 10:30 PM, her cell phone rang. "Something's wrong,
come to the Inner Temple." Ayame took the snow mobile and dashed off.
However, the path to the Inner Temple got cut off.
Another ring on her cell phone. "Leaving the corpse here would be bad, do the
following..." Ayame was there to receive the body via pendulum style. To
hold the blood in, the murder weapon was still poked inside. The staff of
Maiko. That blade cane was the real murder weapon. Ayame took the body to
the compounds via snow mobile. She wanted to hide the fact the staff was the
murder weapon. She put a robe on the dead body, then stabbed the Shichishitou
to deceive the wound. Ayame wiped the staff's katana clean of blood,
hid the blade, then left the staff beside the body. You ask Ayame, who was
the one who called you? Ayame can't say it from her mouth. You rewrite the
information on the staff for your records.
A court official comes to inform the defendant. The judge want to see her in
his office. It is about Chinami Miyanagi. Ayame says she wants to know one
thing. She leaves. You think, Ayame did help the criminal from the
beginning. Chihiro appears. You ask about Mayoi. She's fine, physically,
but mentally, she won't recover as easily. Mayoi knows the identity of Ellis.
Chihiro told her everything. Mayoi will be fine. Chihiro says you will have
to find the answer yourself. The last trial is about to begin. Do you know
the name of the real criminal? You see an outline. The victim was killed in
the courtyard. It's hard to believe the criminal was there by accident.
The criminal must have known about the plan from the start. The criminal also
used the pendulum to move the body. The criminal couldn't cross the
bridge. Someone was stuck there for a day. Chihiro is giving you all the
hints you need to know. Someone who wasn't at the Main Temple side the
morning after. You understand. You will have to fly solo from here on out.
It is time to end this trial for good! What did Mayoi see? Who killed Maiko?
It will be revealed, with your very own hands! End of Part 2.
11i. Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 3
Day 2 Courtroom Phase Part 3. 3:36 PM, Courtroom # 7. Before trial starts,
the results are in. The blood stains on the knife. You forgot about that.
It is the weapon Mayoi used to retaliate. The results of the test, is it
the victim's blood? Due to time constraints, exact details are unknown.
One thing is clear, the blood on the small knife is not the victim's. Now
for the trial... You take the knife as evidence. If it is not Maiko's
blood, then who's? The defense and the prosecution know, this is the last
trial. Both sides must have solid proof. Godo says he heard the witness's
stamina reached the limit, let's go. You agree. Mayoi takes the stand.
Godo asks for name and occupation. Mayoi Ayasato. the occupation is, is...
Assistant Head of the Law Office of Naruhodou. The judge says, according to
the manual, aren't you the spiritual mediator of Kurain? Mayoi is scared of
having Ayasato blood. Mayoi was in the courtyard that night. She did see
the murder of Ellis, right? Mayoi says no, but Godo objects, and says,
"Raise your head. Look straight ahead. Cry anytime. Your mother was killed
in front of your eyes! That's the truth. You can end it now. You've seen it
before, how the other witnesses fell apart, hinted their words. Scrape off
the bodies. It's now your turn. Tell us what happened."
In her testimony, Mayoi says she prepared for training in the isolated room.
She walked past the courtyard. Someone hit her on the head. She staggered
over to the lantern. She screamed for help. The next moment, something
warm covered her body. After that, she passed out. You ask if Chinami hit
her. Mayoi doesn't know. She couldn't see very well. Godo says it was a
night not recommended for ladies. In the cross exam, at the part where she
screamed, "Help me!", probe there to find out it was dark. She couldn't see
the baddie. Mayoi screamed, it was her last hope. Ask about this last hope.
Mayoi says she doesn't know. She yelled at the attacker. The last hope was
not aimed for the baddie.
Behind the baddie, that person was there. Mayoi tries to take back what she
just said, but it's too late. The judge says, is it true? Another person was
there? Yes. Godo says, if you want to hear the real intention, aim for the
most extreme situation. That's my rule. Godo tells Mayoi she is cornered.
There's no room for lies or secrets. The judge says that's an important
statement, add it to the testimony. In the new statement, Mayoi says she saw
a man standing behind the baddie, with the light of the lantern. On this
statement, show her the Lantern as evidence. This guy is the killer of Maiko.
It seems Mayoi knows who the killer is. She seems agitated and confused. She
made the wrong guess.
That night, this lantern was broken. There was no light in the courtyard!
Order in the court! The judge has to settle down the crowd. Godo says,
"Pour the milk into the lucid and serene darkness of coffee, then stir it up.
The heart of the witness is a muddy cafe ole." The judge seems confused.
Coffee? Milk? Godo says, "If the lawyer's words are milk, then you are the
spoon, your honor! You should know, Maruhodou. The witness is mentally
unstable. A little wrong guess is to be expected." You argue, if there was
no light in the courtyard, then something is wrong with her testimony. She
said she couldn't tell the gender or age of the assailant.
However, the one standing behind the assailant, she said was a man! So,
Mayoi saw something in the dark! Godo asks if he heard you correctly.
How could she see in the dark? There were no other lights in the courtyard.
You say, it was dark, that is how she was able to see it. Mayoi saw the
murderer, and now she is trying to cover for him. So, she knows who this guy
is. Mayoi says, no. Godo says what did she see? Mayoi says stop, don't do
it! Mayoi is trying to protect the identity of the murderer, the one who
killed her mother. However, you cannot let this pass by. You're here to
uncover the truth. The judge asks to show him, who did Mayoi see?
Show him the profile of Godo. You decide everyone wants to see what Mayoi
saw. You want the lights in this courtroom to be turned off. The place
turns pitch black. The judge sees something. You can see the red glow off
Godo's visor. Godo says, well done, Maruhodou. This is what Mayoi saw!
Order in the court, order in the court! The judge asks Godo, where's the
rebuttal? Godo says, "Your honor, you are asking the wrong person. Ask the
person who witnessed it. That's my rule." The judge asks Mayoi if that
three lined red light was the thing she saw the night of the murder. Mayoi
says no! That's not what she saw. There is another reason! The judge is
about to talk, but Godo says that's enough out you, judge. Important things
are heard in testimony. That's my rule.
In the testimony, Mayoi says when she came to, she was in the Inner Temple.
When she returned to the courtyard, things looked dramatically different.
The torches were burning and the dead body was missing. The snow around the
lantern was cleanly erased. One person did it, that's why she thought
it was a man. In the cross exam, you must probe all the statements. So, from
the beginning, here we go. Mayoi passed out in the courtyard just after the
murder. The real criminal must have brought her over to the Inner Temple.
The place changed and this was the work of the criminal. Why? Mayoi doesn't
know. We need more information.
A bonfire was lit. It must have been hard to move the body in the dark.
The judge wonders why did the criminal move the body? There's probably no
merit to the criminal. The only merit you see would be for Mayoi. About the
cleared away snow, you always thought that was strange. The snow around the
torch, seemed unnaturally moved away. Mayoi says there was a shovel in the
storage room. It was real heavy, Mayoi couldn't lift it up. The judge
wonders about the actions of the criminal. You say there could have been the
victim's blood on the snow. Mayoi did get covered with blood while
slumped to the ground.
So the criminal tried to hide the snow covered blood. Another question
arises. Why didn't the criminal just take the blood covered snow only? Why
was that much snow carried away? This could be the key to understanding
the mind of the criminal. So, Mayoi didn't see the criminal. Mayoi did say
she saw a man. Mayoi is sorry. You think to yourself, the criminal went
to a lot of trouble. The cleaning of the crime scene, and the transportation
of the body. It could have been for Mayoi. Now on round two, probe again at
the part about how the crime scene changed dramatically. Mayoi sensed
something. She believes the criminal cleaned up the crime scene for her
benefit.
Only she knows this person was there that night. If Bikini came back, she
could think Mayoi did it. The judge tells her to add this to her testimony.
In the new statement, Mayoi says the criminal cleaned the place of all
evidence. On this statement, show her the Lantern. Ellis's body was moved
to the compounds. In the courtyard, the area where blood could have fallen,
the snow was removed. This was done to hide the real murder scene. However,
there is one thing strange. Godo should know, the blood letters on the
lantern. Mayoi is written upside down on it. If the criminal's intentions
were to protect Mayoi, then these blood letters should have been erased!
Order in the court!
The judge says the criminal did try to hide the real murder scene. You say
there is no reason to leave the most incriminating evidence behind. Godo
objects, saying you can explain the reason, can't you? Moving the body and
hiding the bloody snow, yet leaving the blood letters on the lantern, can
you explain? If you think about it, the reason becomes clear. Three
possibilities come to mind. One, the criminal was the one who wrote the
letters. Two, the criminal wanted to pin the crime on Mayoi. Three, the
criminal did not notice the letters. You go with number three, the criminal
didn't notice the blood letters on the lantern. Godo did say, if you erase
the impossible, then the only that remains is the sole truth.
Godo says, keep absorbing the good things. You say the criminal did try to
hide the real murder scene. The blood letters should have been erased! That
is, only if the criminal noticed the letters. Mayoi says, how could you miss
those letters, they stick out like a bonfire? Normally this wouldn't make
sense. In this murder case, there's only person who couldn't notice the blood
letters. (Now it's time to drop the bomb. We save the best things for last.)
Show the profile of Godo. Yesterday, Godo said, "My eyes are dysfunctional.
Even with this visor, I can't see completely." This lantern was presented as
evidence today. During that time, the judge mentioned the blood letters.
Godo acted like he's never seen it before. He asked what was written on it.
So, Godo, there's a color you can't see. The red on white! Godo cannot see
that. Yes, once before this happened. In the Tres Bien Restaurant Case, the
poisoned coffee episode. Godo presented the Apron of Mako. Godo said, it
seems like coffee was spilled on it. The judge said, why didn't you mention
the blood stain? Godo acted like he have never seen it before. The red
stain was really ketchup, but the point here is, Godo said, he had never
"heard" of it before. Godo saw the coffee stain, but he couldn't see the
ketchup stain, since it was "red".
Godo says, "It is weird. If that picture were black and white, then those
blood stains would show up as black. Why am I the only one who cannot see
it?" The judge asks if Godo admits to not being able to see the blood
letters on the lantern. Godo says, "Gee, mister. Don't you know? That's
why I don't drink the "crimson" Koucha Tea!" The crowd gets real noisy.
So it is true. Godo is blind to the color red! So this Godo possibly
could be the criminal. Now you have to prove it. The defense makes an
accusation. Godo is the killer of Maiko Ayasato! Godo says, he won't
drink Koucha to escape the guilty verdict. However, he won't be accused as
a criminal, just by scribbles on a wall.
Besides, the letter written is the wrong name. You argue the criminal
couldn't see red. Godo says, let's hear it. In the crime scene, there's a
big clue laying there. It is snow. Why was that much snow carried away? The
judge knows, only the spot of blood was needed to be carried away. The
criminal couldn't see red, so all the snow had to be carried away! All the
areas where blood could have fallen had to be cleaned up. Godo objects. What
about the possibility it was dark, so the blood stains couldn't be seen? You
say, impossible. The bonfire was burning at the scene. It wasn't dark!
The judge says we reached a new point. Explain, Godo! Mayoi says, wait!
She says Godo is not the criminal.
He came to the Inner Temple two days after the murder, when the bridge was
fixed! Objection by Godo. He says Mayoi couldn't testify about that. Godo
slams his fist into the table. When the murder happened, Mayoi was out of
existence. This witness did lose consciousness after the murder. Mayoi
called Chinami's spirit. Mayoi begs to listen to her testimony. You will
listen, won't you? You wonder why Mayoi is trying so hard to cover for Godo.
You agree to hear her out. In her testimony, Mayoi says in the Inner Temple
side, Harumi was trapped here. Morning came, and she looked for people, but
no one was there.
The next day, the bridge was fixed. That girl was in the isolated room.
That's the first time Prosecutor Godo came to the Inner Temple! He
immediately found Hami-chan and cheered her up. The judge asks, who is
Hami-chan? Mayoi says Harumi Ayasato. Hami-chan is her nickname. Mayoi
heard this story recently, in the doctor's office. The judge says he is
sorry, but words from someone else, don't qualify as testimony. That's
hearsay. Mayoi is stunned. Hami-chan wouldn't lie! Godo says he has no
objections. This witness can be trusted. Now, cross examine it. That is,
if the defense has no objections. None from this side.
In the cross exam, probe at the part where she says, Godo found Harumi and
cheered her up. Harumi said he was a kind man. Mayoi thanks Godo for doing
so. The judge says, and I thought you only liked coffee. Godo says, stop
it, you're making me blush. Godo then says there's not much to see at the
Inner Temple side. The police already seized the courtyard area, so he did
some inspecting of his own. My style! You ask about how he cheered up
Harumi. Godo says, when he found her, the first thing she said was, "Where's
Mayoi?" The bridge burnt down and she was stuck in a hut with no heat.
She was sealed off to spend the night there.
Harumi was more concerned about Mayoi than about herself. Godo says this
witness wasn't on this side of the bridge, but he couldn't tell that to
Harumi. So he gave her his last cup of coffee. Godo sips his coffee and
says, "Milk and sugar to cover up the bitterness of reality." (There's no
one like Godo!). The important thing is, where was Godo the time of the
murder? He had to be on the Inner Temple side. Go back to the same statement
again. This time, ask about Godo's style of investigation. Godo says, "It
seems, my skills as an investigator are on par with Maruhodou's. After all,
I did miss the blood letters on the lantern." You think to yourself, "I
didn't miss the letters!"
Godo says the thing he noticed was the beautiful lady in the cave. Maiko
Ayasato, wearing the kimono and the Indian aroma. You think to yourself,
Godo's last statement, looks like he incriminated himself. You got him!
Now at the statement, "That was the first time Godo came to the Inner Temple",
show her the Hanging Scroll as evidence. Godo came to the Inner Temple much
earlier. He slipped when he talked about the scroll. Mayoi may not know,
but two days after the murder, the scroll was already covered in curry. The
day before, someone threw curry onto this scroll. The person had a reason,
but the point is, if Godo really did come after the murder, he couldn't have
known this scroll was a picture of Maiko.
Mayoi says, wait! She says look at the scroll once more, the crest on the
top. That's the mark of the leader of the house. If that mark's meaning was
known, then you would know Maiko was on that scroll. You shake your head no.
Godo said, "The lady in the kimono, with the Indian aroma." The meaning of
the crest could have been known, but it's impossible to see what she is
wearing, with the state the scroll is in. That day, Godo was in the Inner
Temple, before the murder! Godo says, "Your statement, a prerequisite mush be
filled in order for it to be established. I would have to know about the
murder beforehand!" Mayoi agrees.
You say, Godo knew about the plan ahead of time. Show him the Burnt Letter.
This plan was known well over a year ago. Kimiko wrote this plot for her
daughter. It was hidden inside the mansion of the Ayasato residence. When
Harumi got a hold of the letter, it was already opened. The criminal read
this note, well before the murder. So the criminal knew about the Inner
Temple murder! Godo wonders if that's him. Yes. Godo says the note was
hidden. Mayoi says Godo couldn't have known where the letter was. You say,
there was one chance, during visitation hour. Harumi knew about the location
from Kimiko, from inside the visitation room of the prison.
That's the only time to know about the location. The judge says that's
eavesdropping! A person who has the freedom to go in and out of the prison
can do it! For example, Godo! Order in the court, order in the court! You
say the murder would be impossible unless the plot was known beforehand.
Godo had the chance. Godo says, "People are afraid of the dark. However,
the truth is, the darkness has the mystical power to charm us. That's
the reason people drink coffee." You say you are sorry, please explain.
Godo says everything has a reason. Your claim is, the criminal listened in
on the visitation, then found the instructions. Then the criminal went
ahead and hid in the Inner Temple.
A person died, to protect the witness here. Yes, just like you said it.
Godo says, for what? Godo claims Mayoi Ayasato is a complete stranger to
him. There's no reason to protect her. Godo says he is not a friend of
justice, despite his looks. The judge says the criminal's actions seem
unusual. You argue Godo did have a reason, an important one, to protect
Mayoi. Mayoi says so you noticed. You now know why Mayoi was covering
for Godo. It's the same reason Godo protected her. Godo says let's hear
it. You say, Mayoi is not a complete stranger to him. A certain person
will tell the whole story. Show him the profile of Chihiro Ayasato.
Mayoi was special to Godo. Mayoi is the only sister of Chihiro! You say
Chihiro was his junior, while Godo was still a lawyer. The judge is
shocked. Even the judge should know, "Godo" is not his real name. His
real name is Souryuu Kaminogi! Godo sips his coffee and says, the last
time anybody called me that name, was 6 years ago. The judge is familiar
with that name. It all started on that case. The one where the defendant,
Michiru Onamida committed suicide by drinking the poison on the stand.
Chihiro was mentally damaged in her debut, due to the actions of Chinami
Miyanagi. Chihiro couldn't prove it, so someone else attempted.
Souryuu Kaminogi, Chihiro's senior lawyer, attempted to corner Chinami.
Chihiro thought it was her fault the defendant died. Kaminogi told
"Chihiro", it is not the time to cry. He said a man can cry only when it
is all over. Godo admits to liking Chihiro. Especially the way she simply
believed in her clients. Godo couldn't let Chinami get away with what she
did. He and Chihiro researched the kidnapping afterwards. That fated day,
Kaminogi called Chinami over. It was a half year after the trial, at a
courtroom cafeteria. The judge remembers this case. Godo was the poisoned
lawyer of 6 years ago.
Godo couldn't imagine that Chinami put poison in his coffee. Some newspapers
reported it as a murder. Godo says, however, he didn't die. Officially, he
was dead, but Godo says he was in a deep sleep. A long and useless sleep.
That woman's poison ate away to Godo's nerve center. He lost his eyesight
and the color of his hair would never be the same. Godo says it's a miracle
he regained consciousness. Five years past since he "died". One day, he
woke up one morning, to the smell of coffee, freshly made by the doctor.
What was waiting for him was desperate news. The death of Chihiro Ayasato.
The moment Godo woke up, he lost everything. The woman he loved was murdered
and the woman he hated was already on death row.
Yes, the one who gave him the "hot" cup, was Chinami Miyanagi. As expected
of Chihiro, before she died, she finished the revenge. There was nobody
waiting for Godo to wake up. The late sleeper Godo's only purpose for living
were twofold. That's why he became a prosecutor. The first purpose was you,
Maruhodou. If that worthless poison didn't delay Godo, Chihiro would
still be alive. Only you, Maruhodou were there to protect her, yet she died.
You were just a little brat, who didn't know any better. That's why Godo
challenged you. The other reason was Mayoi Ayasato. Godo couldn't protect
Chihiro, so to atone for his sin, at the least, protect Mayoi.
A year ago, when the Village of Kurain Case was settled, Godo knew Kimiko
Ayasato was up to something. Godo planned to stop whatever it was. As a
prosecutor, he was allowed access to the visitation room, where he
eavesdropped on Harumi and Kimiko's conversation. Godo knew the time was
coming soon. Godo went to find the instructions before Harumi could get
there. He wanted to hide behind the plan. He didn't believe the little
girl would be used for the plan. You think to yourself, the original plan
called for Harumi to call Chinami. The purpose was to give the impression
Mayoi was assassinated.
If Harumi found that out, she would refuse to help. Godo says, the days grew
closer and closer to the operation date. Godo called two people to assist
him. One was Ayame Hazakurain, the other was Maiko Ayasato. The crime was to
be pinned on Ayame, according to the plan. He needed her help for sure.
Mayoi asks how does he know mother? She was missing for 20 years. Godo says,
on the outside, you've heard of it. At one time, the Kurain's and the
government bonded together. Even if influence is lost, the strength is for
real. The police always had their mark on Maiko. That's how he found her,
thanks to being a prosecutor.
Mayoi says mother helped the prosecutor? Godo says don't forget, no matter
how far away, Maiko always thought about you, Mayoi. She would do anything
to protect her daughter. Her resolution was in this staff, the one with the
blade in it. The day came for the plan to execute. The three collaborators
met at the Hazakurain. Godo saw the staff of Maiko and he knew the feeling
she had for her daughter. Maiko planned to guard Mayoi with that katana,
even if it cost her life. The night of the murder, there was one point to
smash Kimiko's plan. Harumi. We couldn't allow the spirit of Chinami
Miyanagi in that little girl.
Maiko asks what Harumi was doing tonight. She called Harumi to her room, to
read together. We thought about confinement for Harumi, but she never came.
Harumi went to the Inner Temple to check on Mayoi. The worst case scenario
just happened, so Maiko Ayasato was forced to call the spirit of Chinami
Miyanagi onto herself. If Maiko called the spirit first, then Harumi
couldn't do anything. Maiko was the leader of the house and her spiritual
powers were absolute. To protect Harumi, Maiko chose to call the spirit
herself. Godo wanted to protect Mayoi, so he hid inside the Inner Temple.
In case of emergency, he would attempt to stop Chinami.
This is as far as he will admit to. Godo says, Maruhodou, you are an
excellent lawyer, but nothing more. The judge says only one question
remains. Who killed Maiko? Two people could have. Mayoi or Godo. Godo
says, listen Maruhodou. If you are for real, for the finale, prove who
did it, perfectly with your own hand! Mayoi heard it all from her sister.
That's why she tried to protect Godo. Mayoi can't testify. The person
did it for her and her sister. You understand, but the crime still
remains. Mayoi will testify. You promise this is the last testimony.
It's useless to hide. You will find it, the truth. Mayoi agrees it is
the best way.
In her testimony, Mayoi says at the time, she thought she saw a reddish glow.
As she called for help, blood splattered over her. The victim didn't die,
she counterattacked the enemy behind her. Suddenly the red light
disappeared, and the place fell into darkness. At that moment, Mayoi
heard a terrifying scream. Finally Chinami Miyanagi fell to the ground, and
Mayoi passed out also. The judge says red light? Mayoi says it appeared,
then disappeared just as quickly. Godo says, too bad, Maruhodou. Who killed
Maiko? It is still not clear. You believe Mayoi is truthful in her
testimony. It's your job from here on out.
In the final cross examination, probe at the beginning. Mayoi doesn't
remember clearly that night. She did scream for help at the light. It
could have been Godo. Mayoi can't recall. There was someone in front of
her. Now at the part where she heard a scream, probe deeper. That moment
was when the three red lights disappeared. So the scream was Chinami
Miyanagi's? Mayoi say no, the scream was from a male voice. So it was the
murderer's scream? Mayoi says probably. Chinami took the staff and
retaliated with it. Then the criminal took the staff back and finished
the job. The judge asks, what do think about this statement?
You say there's a contradiction in that statement. Before the scream, the
witness already had the victim's blood on her. So the staff was already
pierced inside the body. The staff couldn't be used to counter attack.
The weapon used to make the criminal scream, there was something else other
than the staff! Godo says tell me, Maruhodou. Chinami, with the staff
poked inside, used what to attack with? Show him the Small Knife. It was
prepared by the killer. This evidence was found stuck in a pine tree at
the crime scene. It was found this morning. Chinami used this knife to
counter attack.
The criminal's body must be injured! Objection! Godo slams his fist into
the table. Just because a scream is given, doesn't necessarily mean there
was bodily injury. The blood test results are in. It is not the victim's
blood. So that leaves only one choice. It is the blood of the criminal.
The criminal must have an injury somewhere on the body. The judge says,
the blood on the knife is the killer's. You say yes, search the genetic
information on the blood stain. It is Godo's blood! Godo says this is fun.
Order in the court! You believe he can't change the scientific results of
a test.
Godo says, "Hey, Maruhodou. For argument's sake, let's say I'm the
criminal. Would I leave such stupid evidence around? This small knife was
discovered and brought to me. At this time, blood was on it. I'm the one
who took it from the detective and brought it here. So if I'm the criminal,
then I would have cleaned the blade and put someone else's blood on the
knife." Godo says he can guarantee one thing, Maruhodou. This blood stain
does not match my blood. He is sure on that. The judge says it is clear the
killer was injured. Mayoi says wait! Mr. Naruhodou's explanation has a
contradiction in it. A big one. She says, that knife cut the criminal, but
if Godo was injured, his clothes would be bloody and torn!
You say he could have changed clothes. Mayoi says not that, the day of the
murder, the people on the Inner Temple side were trapped. When the bridge
was fixed, the police came. Godo was there. There was no time to change
clothes! You say Godo had a fresh set of clothes prepared. The judge says
the bridge burning down was an accident. You couldn't prepare for that. You
say the killer could have taken off their clothes during the murder, in fear
of bloodshed. Godo objects and says impossible. You know how cold it is
in the mountains at night? If you wore nothing, you couldn't move! Godo
says, "That's all you got? In this situation, Chihiro Ayasato would finish
it off at once. Can you do it, Maruhodou?"
The judge says the defense accused Godo as the criminal. Prove it with one
piece of evidence. You think to yourself, "Can you prove it?" That's not
the point. "You will prove it!" that's all that's left. That is the rule
you learned. For the finale, Godo says one piece of evidence. It carries
a weight. A Penalty of Infinity. The pressure is on, but you don't care.
Godo believes you can't do it. You want to reverse the thought process.
In the last cross exam, one thing was proven. The criminal was injured.
The knife proves that. The judge says it's impossible to hide the scar.
There should be some on the clothes, if someone were cut like that.
You say there is one place the criminal could hide the injury. Don't
think, "Why was there no traces on the clothes?". Instead, think of the
method used by the criminal to hide the injury. Godo says, this is the
end, Maruhodou! Let's see it. Show him the profile of Godo himself.
Godo says he doesn't know what you threw at him, he doesn't need to see
it. Godo says, "You will never be a better lawyer than her! Right,
Maruhodou?" Godo sees something. A momentary flash. He sees Chihiro right
beside you. No way, you're living inside him? says Godo. You say there is a
scar hiding on Godo.
With the image of Chihiro beside you, you both point your index fingers at
Godo! It is under the mask! The red light disappeared during combat. That
instant, a scream was heard. Godo mask was blown off! You tell Godo to
remove the mask. If there is a scar by a knife, then this case is settled,
completely! Godo's mask starts to smoke, then it explodes! Godo sips his
coffee and says, now he saw her in you. He never liked you. Six years ago,
you helped the woman who put me to sleep and hid the poison. Then, while he
was sleeping, you let Chihiro die. He couldn't stand to see your face. You
were the successor to her. Godo couldn't forgive you, or so he thought.
He knew from the beginning, the thing he couldn't forgive most, was himself.
Godo says, the one who didn't protect Chihiro was himself. He avoided
looking at the truth and ran away. Chihiro's death was right in his face,
and he ran. Godo hid his face behind this cold mask, threw out his real
name and even stopped being a lawyer. You say Godo did save Mayoi. Godo
says he tried, up until now. Listen, if he really did simply try to save
Mayoi, there was one person who he should have consulted first. Mayoi asks,
Naruhodou? He didn't. Godo did get Ayame and Maiko to help, but the most
important man was there and Godo chose to close his eyes. The reason was,
Godo wasn't trying to save Mayoi, he was trying to save his empty heart!
Godo couldn't save Chihiro. He let Mayoi in that dangerous situation. Godo
is sorry. You say wrong, Godo put life on the line to save Mayoi. Godo says
he's not so sure. That night, when he saw that shadow, a corner of his
heart knew, this person is not Chinami Miyanagi. Maiko could have been
Harumi. Like a delirium, he swung the blade anyway. What was in his heart
that moment? Was it as simple as protecting Mayoi? Or was it the woman who
took everything from him, six years ago, an unrewarded revenge? Now, Godo
doesn't know. Today, however, he knows, finally. He was the one who was
conceited. Godo was just chasing an illusion. To beat Naruhodou, a non-
existent illusion.
You helped him learn. You didn't run from Chihiro's death, unlike him.
Plus, you learned her defense. That moment Godo knew. Godo says, if you
like, remember this, my name is Souryuu Kaminogi. Mayoi tells Kaminogi
she believes him. He did save her. Kaminogi says thanks, as the blood
tears roll down his face. The blood from the injury. Kaminogi says,
"Did you forget? In my world, red does not exist." These are his tears.
After waking from his long sleep that day, he has waited for this day.
Kaminogi tells Mayoi to remember, the only time a man cries, is when it
is all over. The blood tears of Kaminogi signal the conclusion.
The defendant, Ayame is brought up. The judge says she is not directly
involved in the killing, but Ayame knew what she was doing when she helped
Kaminogi. Anything else you like to say? Ayame has something for you. She
has an apology. The incident six years ago. The judge remembers. Chinami
tried to poison you. You still can't believe she tried to do that. Ayame
says, you didn't know each other. Ayame means, you and Chinami met only
twice. You met Chinami for the first time that fated day. It was the
time Chinami poisoned Kaminogi's coffee. The next meeting was a half a
year later. Chinami stole your cold medicine to poison. It was the day
Kikuzou Nonda died.
You say that can't be. That half year, we were... That half year, the whole
time, you thought was Chinami, it really was Ayame! (My brain is about to
explode!). Ryuu-chan, you were deceived the whole six months. Ayame is
sorry. Why did she switch? That day, that little bottle was handed to you.
Chinami wanted it back as soon as possible. However, there was police
surveillance and investigation, which limited her freedom. So, Chinami
thought of the worst situation. You might have somehow find out the truth,
so she wanted to kill you. Ayame didn't want any more crimes piled on her
sister. Ayame pleaded and then appeared in front of you.
Ayame was to get the pendant back in place of Chinami. Ayame says she failed
at a simple thing like that. A half year past by. Chinami couldn't wait any
longer. That day, Chinami didn't consult Ayame. That was the first time
Chinami acted on her own. You say it's strange. If Ayame knew about the
plan, then Chinami noticed her sister's feelings. If Ayame knew about the
plot to kill you, then Chinami knew Ayame would stop her. That's why Chinami
acted on her own. Even if it did get them killed, Ayame spent a half year
with you. Her feelings changed. You say Ayame was the person you expected.
After Chinami got the guilty verdict, you still believed in her. Ayame says
thank you.
Kaminogi says, "I can't remember how many cups of darkness I drank, but
today, this one cup is the best of all. Don't you agree, Ryuuichi Naruhodou?"
(Kaminogi acknowledges you, by finally learning your name!) You hold a cup
of coffee of your own and drink it down. Yes it is. The judge says the
court is here to judge the defendant as a murder suspect. The defendant will
have to face the other charges. Ayame understands. The verdict for Ayame,
Not Guilty. Court is adjourned!
4:51 PM, Waiting Room # 1. It's over. Chihiro says that was your best as a
lawyer. You admit you couldn't save Kaminogi. He did think about Chihiro.
Chihiro says no, you did save Kaminogi. There was only way to save him.
That verdict? You will understand someday. Don't forget, today as a lawyer,
you did the greatest work. Chihiro has nothing more to teach you. You did
something Chihiro wasn't able to do. She thanks you for all the times
together. Let's meet again sometime. You sit back and remember all the
cases you had. You ask yourself, what is a lawyer? Maybe today's verdict is
one of those answers. Mayoi comes up to you. She says, just like sister
said. Mayoi consulted with Chihiro that night. In the memo, she wrote,
"Naruhodou will save us all." Mayoi tells you to get rid off the dark face!
You wonder how Mayoi could be cheerful, after what happened. Someone gives
you a whip in the back. It is Mei Karuma. Mei says, not good enough,
Ryuuichi Naruhodou. Mitsurugi says good job, Naruhodou. Since she doesn't
know, Mayoi asks, when did Mitsurugi return? You admit Karuma and Mitsurugi
did help you out. On day one, if those two were not there, then you cannot
imagine what could have happened. Mei tells Mayoi of how you fell into the
river and caught a cold as a result. Mitsurugi adds, you were having a
fever and you were wearing Ayame's hood. Mayoi says you need some serious
training. Mayoi thanks the two.
Yahari appears and says there's no place for him. When he was born, he
knew, he would be worthless. Mayoi disagrees. Right, Naruhodou? You say,
after some hesitation, the face paining he made, it was good. Right,
Mitsurugi? Uh... Yes. Yahari says you too, Mei-chan? Mei whips him and
says her beauty cannot expressed with crayon. Mayoi gives her a cold stare.
Mei admits, it was a good effort. With that, Yahari is happy. So, you will
promise, Mei-chan, to be the model for my book, "Mei-chan no Muchi-Muchi
Daibouken"? Mei whips him and says, don't push your luck. Yahari does
have confidence in face painting. He did Harumi's face. Where is she, by
the way? Mayoi decides to go look for Harumi.
Mitsurugi says how strange. Why is Mayoi that happy? Mei can't comprehend.
Mitsurugi understands, she knows she must get stronger, this time. Mayoi
wasn't the only one hurt by this case. For that person, Mayoi wouldn't cry.
You understand. Mei whips you. Tell me! Show her Harumi's picture.
Harumi followed the directions by her mother. For the Ayasato family, that's
what she believed in. For Mayoi, that's how important Mayoi is to Harumi.
Mitsurugi says her actions produced a tragedy. Mayoi's mother is gone and
Harumi put herself in danger. Detective Itonoko comes in. Mei gives him a
whipping. Mei says her hands slipped. He came to celebrate your victory.
He will have a party tonight. His pay dropped again this month, but no
matter. Itonoko put in the reservations to a first-class French Restaurant.
Mei says good job, Mr. Moustache. As a reward, here's a whipping. You ask
is it the Tres Bien? Mako is waiting. Yahari can come too. Yahari passes
on the invitation. He rather eat potatoes with Harumi-chan. Mayoi says she
can't find Hami-chan. She's not home. Mitsurugi says she must have been
hurt. She felt responsible. You tell Itonoko to go on ahead. You and
Mayoi have somewhere to go to. You have a hunch as to where Harumi went.
You will be a little late, but you will be there.
You take Mayoi to the Hazakurain Gates. Harumi wouldn't forget this place.
It all started here. Bikini greets you. She thought tonight would be curry
for two. Harumi is in the Training Grounds. It seems empty. The scroll is
clean. Harumi must have cleaned it. Harumi is here. She cries at the sight
of Mayoi. Harumi didn't want to see you two. Harumi blames herself for the
death of Maiko. Harumi came here to pray for Mayoi. Mayoi says it's not
Harumi's fault. Mayoi is happy, despite losing her mother. Thanks to
everyone involved, she's alive. If anyone were missing, including Harumi,
she would be dead. She has been give life, so she wants to be stronger.
Bikini says this is Maiko's daughter. Maiko told her, she couldn't show her
face to her daughter. She did tarnish the Kurain name.
She will still think about her daughter, regardless. With this body, until
death. The house leader had a rule, to guard the charm until death. There's
something inside the charm. It's a picture. Living things fight to protect
themselves. How strong will they get? That's the measure of an human.
The lawyer is always tested on that value. The picture is a young Mayoi
crying over the broken Kyouko Pot. A young Maiko is helping her fix the
broken pot. At the end of the battle, even if the bonds are cut, they will
revive, as many times as needed. Chihiro, Mayoi, Harumi, Kaminogi, and
Maiko, they taught me that. Let's go, everybody is waiting. Today is a
memorial day, a day when everything was settled.
A big celebration is at hand. Harumi comes along. Bikini has a reservation
for three over here. She'll be waiting. You wonder, the reservation for the
training is fine, but why three people? Mayoi says Naruhodou is invited to
participate. Mayoi says the special course is waiting for you. Harumi says
yes, Naruhodou will do anything for Mayoi. You have one word for them.
Objection! They both like that word. Make it three.
Staff roll. Mayoi must get ready for double duty. One as the assistant to
Naruhodou, the other as the House Leader of Kurain. She doesn't want to be
locked in, or kidnapped again. Harumi is happy. A secret, Ultra Course is
there. She may put a reservation in. Itonoko gets a new coat from Mako.
It looks like the coat from six years back. He won't take this off. Mako
says a dirty coat is more like a detective. Itonoko promises to dirty it up.
Kirio is thankful for Naruhodou again. The Kurain Exhibition is a huge
success. She got a visit from Mei. Kirio learned how to use a whip. She
must show Naruhodou now.
Amasugi begins a new company, "Kaijin Corcentite!" Mareka says they will
destroy the mystery people brought over to town. They are the ones selling
the incentive to these mystery people. Urami is glad. Ryuu-sama drove
away Tora-sama. For that, she gives a loan of 50 million yen to Naruhodou.
She added a tea set, with her very own special blend of thick tea. He'll be
"bald in three days". Urami giggles. Igarashi thinks he's a no one, one
that can't be broiled or cooked to be eaten. Then he went to his
grand-kids birthday party. How embarrassing it was to cry. Koike says
today, there are suspicious secrets here. In place of Takao Oka, a new
programmer, Kazutomo Motoduzka is here (another palindrome). The moment
she heard the name, a boost of energy ran through her.
Bikini says after that incident, all is changed. She needs a visual for
spring time. She'll wait for Ayame to return. Ayame says Ryuu-chan
became splendid. Yesterday, he came to the visitation room. She was so
happy, she could only stare. A little girl did slap Ryuu-chan until his
nose bled, though. So now, our old woman, Obachan returns from vacation.
She missed everything! Her partner is gone now. This room, she's no alien.
These macadamia nuts, maybe she will bring them to Micchan. Or maybe
somebody that likes beans... As usual, she's the machine gun talker.
She takes out her toy gun an fires it. Yahari found his calling in life.
"Mei-chan no Muchi-Muchi Daibouken" will stir a revolution in the picture
book world! Now you see a picture book of all the main characters, living
and dead. Godo is on the dead side. End of Episode 5.
