konna hazu janainda atama kakae
こんなはずじゃないんだ 頭抱え
This can't be happening; I clasp my head in my hands,
houwa shita sekai kara nigedashitakute mogaiteiru
飽和した世界から 逃げ出したくてもがいている
As I struggle with my desire to escape from this saturated world.
sarasara suna no you ni toki ga sugiru
さらさら 砂のように時が過ぎる
Time goes flowing past with the rustling roar of sand,
kawaribae no shinai genjou
代わり映えのしない現状
Things never get any better;
yume no nai asu wo mitsume
夢のない明日を見つめ
I'm gazing on toward a dreamless tomorrow.
mayotte bakari no kinou sayonara shitai
迷ってばかりの昨日 さよならしたい
I want to bid farewell to my days of constantly feeling lost;
aragau you ni te wo nobashitemiru
抗うように 手を伸ばしてみる
I try stretching out my hand in resistance.
nanbyakumankai naite umarekawaru yo
何百万回 泣いて 生まれ変わるよ
We'll cry millions upon millions of tears, then be reborn,
akai me no mama de yukou egaita mirai he
赤い目のままで行こう 描いた未来へ
Let's keep going, with red in our eyes, toward the future we drew for ourselves.
koko made oide te wo narashiteru
ここまでおいで 手を鳴らしてる
Come over to me, I'm clapping my hands,
kimi ha doko no dare?
君はどこの誰
Who are you? Where are you coming from?
yami ni me wo korashite
闇に目を凝らして
I strain my eyes in the darkness.
nanimo mienu wakannai sore demo yuku yo
何も見えぬ わかんない それでも行くよ
I can't see a thing, and nothing makes sense, but I'll go anyway,
hikari ga sasu kimi ga matsu basho he
光が射す 君が待つ場所へ
To the place where you're waiting, lit by a beacon of light.
Episode 6
「Far too Simple of a Code」
From Sakaguchi Ango's 「ANGOU」
Eastern Kantou Social Rehabilitation Promotion Centre
The Social Rehabilitation Promotion Centre.
It's one of the prisons that were built through that private sector initiative.
Not unlike myself, most of the people imprisoned there are first-time offenders.
My speech during the war was labelled as being in violation of the New Information Privacy Protection Act;
I was imprisoned there until last week.
If I remember correctly, Yajima-san, you were Kaishou Rinroku's...
Yuuki Shinjuurou
Detective
Yuuki Shinjuurou
Detective
I'm a friend of his from back in college.
Yajima
Critic
Yajima
Critic
I became a critic... though he tended toward a more technical field.
Yet you're asking for Shinjuurou's help?
A trap! It's a trap!
Inga
Assistant Detective
Inga
Assistant Detective
I can't ask Kaishou.
As a matter of fact, I can only trust you two, who stand in opposition to him.
Yajima-sensei.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I thought I would get the chance to meet you here.
I heard that your stomach hasn't been feeling well.
Yes...
...thanks to that, my release date has been moved up.
I have something I'd like you to look at.
Book: A History of Criminal Psychology
This is one of my personal possessions...
This is quite the rare book.
I actually have a copy myself.
Well, well...
I wonder... does that say Kaishou Rinroku?
There's no doubt about it.
Where did you get this?
At a used book store before I was brought here.
Would you mind if I held onto this?
I'd love to show it to Kaishou and see the look on his face.
Especially since it would be damaging to his reputation, should it become public that his personal books were on the market.
But of course.
Thank you.
Well then...
The fact that you're here must mean... is there something ailing you as well?
It's right here.
It's right here, Sensei.
Right here...
That man gave you this piece of paper?
No. It was most likely stuck between the pages of this book originally.
I know this because...
...it has the printed label of my personalised writing paper.
This is my writing paper.
So then... you wrote this?
Certainly not.
This is a book from Kaishou Rinroku's personal collection after all.
Why was a piece of my writing paper stuck between the pages?
So the reason you hired me is to solve that mystery?
Furthermore, why was it within this particular book?
That's all?
I want to know everything you find out.
Why don't you just ask Kaishou-san directly?!
I can't imagine he'd answer me truthfully.
Excuse me...
Why don't we examine the fingerprints on it?
W-Who is this girl?
Can you do it?
If I can get something electronic, I can manage it.
Sasa Kazamori
You have a cell phone, right?
Artificial Intelligence (R.A.I.)
Sasa Kazamori
Artificial Intelligence (R.A.I.)
Oh! I can feel it! I can feel it!
Bring me the paper.
Okay!
She's not human, is she?
She's human.
She's a R.A.I.
R.A.I.?
Metropolitan Police Dept.
Registered Fingerprint Database
I thought they were banned...
I was able to detect two separate sets of fingerprints matching what was registered with the police dept.
One of those was Yajima-san's.
The other was-
Kaishou Rinroku, right?
Yajima Takako.
Yajima?
She's my wife...
I suppose it makes sense that your wife would sometimes handle your writing paper.
Ah... I guess you're right.
Ah! She broke it, she broke it! Kazamori broke it!
When I broke through security, I accidentally overloaded it.
Hey, Shinjuurou! Kazamori broke it!
So Yajima Takako's fingerprints are in the Metropolitan Police Dept's database...
What are you gonna do?
This could turn out to be interesting...
...if we can catch that Kaishou by the tail, that is.
Are you gonna feed me... Kaishou's soul?
"34-14-14"...
Could this be...
...the 14th character in the 14th column of page 34?
If that's the case, the first character would be "i".
The next one is... "tsu".
And then... "mo"!
See?! It's starting to look like a sentence!
Let's see, the next character is...
I'll be at the usual place...
"I'll be at the usual place"...?
I went ahead and saved you some time.
What's with you?!
If you've already deciphered it, tell me already!
I wouldn't even call it a code.
It's far too simple and straightforward.
Nonetheless, if the paper and book were to be separated, no one would be able to decode it.
That's certainly true...
And so... why was this paper in my father's book?
That's what I'd like to know.
"I'll be at the usual place"...
Kaishou Rie
Kaishou Rinroku's Daughter, Housekeeper
Kaishou Rie
Kaishou Rinroku's Daughter, Housekeeper
Could it be a means of coordinating a rendezvous?
But something like this could easily be relayed through a call or text.
Maybe they couldn't meet with this person if the method of contact left a record.
Are you trying to suggest the writer is involved in something criminal?
No...
By the way, your mother is...
She died when I was three years old.
Why ask me that all of a sudden?
It's nothing...
Well, I see...
By the way, where is that Inga woman right now?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here are your crepes.
Now, don't you dare start complaining about how it's not sweet.
Even though it's a crepe, it's a proper meal.
I figured you've been eating nothing but junk lately, so I decided to invite you to lunch.
Long ago, parts of Southeast Asia were colonised by France.
I've had these more times than I can count.
A used bookstore?
There's simply no way...
...that book is still within this house.
Um...
Hey, where was it again?
Is this the one?
Ah, that's it!
They look exactly the same, but does that mean it's a fake?
It would have to be.
Kaishou Family Maid (Head maid)

Kaishou Rinroku
Kaishou Family Maid
Kaishou Family Maid (Head maid)

If you could make someone believe that it came from Kaishou Rinroku's library,
Kaishou Family Maid
Kaishou Rinroku
any book would increase in value.
You haven't been putting them up for auction, have you?
Hey, let me examine how this fake emblem was made...
Rie...?
"The usual place"...
Yajima-san is... Hey...
Last year, you went out a number of times running errands for father, didn't you?
At those times, didn't you say you were going to Yajima-san's residence?
Why yes, I believe it was a friend of his who had just entered prison;
I went to deliver toys to his children.
Were the only people there his wife and children?
Yes.
Was his wife pretty?
Just forget it...
Kaishou Rinroku says that it's not his book...
What are your thoughts? As a detective, that is...
Something seems terribly suspicious.
Suspicious?
If a book you had no recollection of selling suddenly appeared on the market,
the first thing you would usually do it suspect theft.
But supposedly he didn't seem concerned in the slightest.
What do you think?
Yajima-san.
When you came to me, you'd already solved the code, hadn't you?
"I'll be at the usual place"..., right?
I assumed it was a letter summoning Kaishou Rinroku...
...and from a woman at that...
Pretend to be borrowing and lending books, then sneak codes within each of them;
I can only guess that the two people were collaborating which books they would exchange.
In other words, this copy was originally from my own home.
Then the person who wrote the code on your writing paper was...
Who's there?
Yajima Takako
Is someone in here?
Yajima's Wife
Yajima Takako
Yajima's Wife
It's me!
Haven't I been telling you that I'm home now?
Oh...
Darling!
I'm in the middle of some work. Go get some rest.
Good, be careful on your way back.
How long has your wife been blind?
It happened while I was in the correctional centre...
...along with our children going missing.
Your children?
It was suspected that they were kidnapped...
...but my wife went running off to look for them.
Back then, even in this area, there were terrorist attacks from anti-government organizations.
When my wife returned, she had lost the light of her eyes and her memories of the incident were vague and uncertain.
Following that, my wife called a used book shop and had almost all of my books taken away...
...and all of the pictures our children drew ended up just as you've seen them.
It's as if she thought she'd be able to forget everything.
This book might have very well been sold from my home.
And what about your children?
It seems they were never found.
It's nearly been a year since.
When you sleep with a woman, which side do you sleep on?
Huh?
Are you sleeping with that R.A.I.?
Takako always laid along my right side...
...for as long as we've been together.
I'm left handed.
But after I returned, she would sleep on my left side, my right side...
I thought it was because she'd lost her sight, but eventually I realised...
Kaishou Rinroku is right handed.
What are you doing?
Kazamori said she wanted to look at the camera.
Hey, don't throw me!
Is that the R.A.I. from before?
So?
I infiltrated the footage found in the surveillance camera.
At least six times in the previous year,
Kaishou Rinroku's car was parked outside this house.
I see.
Wait a minute!
Even if she developed that kind of relationship with Rinroku, I don't feel like I can blame her.
I stuck firmly to my beliefs and ended up in prison for three years.
But the children...
Yajima-san?
If Takako, in order to be with Rinroku, did something to keep the children from disturbing her...
I'll find out where your children are!
We can consider that your real request.
No... You've already done what I hired you for.
The souls in this house are about to burst free!
Let me ask her... That woman...
What do you want to ask?
What else?
"Where are your children?!"
Do you think that she killed them? Their own mother?
Kaishou might even have helped her!
If that were to be true, then all of the lies and truths that he's been piling up...
...the entirety of his soul would be laid bare.
Isn't that what you want?
Get away from me!
What's that?
Coloured pencil.
A tool used to draw pictures on paper.
Hey!
Pictures?! I'm gonna draw! I'm gonna draw!
What should I draw on?
Geez... What are you, a kid?
Drawing paper, probably.
Drawing paper? What's that?
Kazamori.
What was used to write this?
Why?
Just answer me.
Man, you're such a slave driver.
Pigment and wax...
The composition of an average coloured pencil.
Where's the nearest used book store?
I'm not a GPS!
Answer me!
Roger...
Yamamoto Books
Sorry!
Every single one of Yajima-san's books?
Yes, we took them all in.
They were all fine items, so they sold easily as a set.
Who bought them?
That's personal information...
Could you do something about it?
I can't! If I did that, I'd be the one getting arrested!
If you're looking for my father, he's not here!
Then I came at the right time.
I came with a request.
Please stop, Milady!
I'm the one who will be scolded for this.
Don't worry about it.
What... Could you possibly... Be you looking for?
Used books. Last year, Kaishou bought a collection of books from a used book store.
They were all books sold from Yajima-san's residence.
If that's what you want, you won't find it there.
Over here.
These are all books too?
Another one?!
Tell me, Shinjuurou... does my father have some kind of relation with Yajima-san's wife?
Shall we solve these together?
If you have the courage to do it, I'm sure you'll be able to find your answer.
Forgive me...
Akio... Kazuko...
You don't have to say a thing, Takako...
...I don't want to hear it.
These are...
"I'll be waiting at the pool. July 10th, 3pm"...
"I have some sweets. Don't tell mum."
"Don't worry about mum".
"Let's play at the usual place. July 12th, 11am".
Akio! Kazuko!
Your children were using your books to play, sending coded messages to each other.
Most likely, they were trying to not worry their mother, who'd started acting strange.
Where might they be then?!
The answer to that was within the code as well.
This is a new play area that Kazuko-san found.
This place is...
It's a difficult thing to consider,
but there have been numerous incidents of children being trapped in wreckage like this.
Yajima-san?
No matter how long it takes me, I'll find them.
I've kept them waiting for a year already...
It seems you've been hanging out with my daughter quite a bit.
I'm Kaishou.
Was the reason you visited Yajima-san's residence so frequently...
...because his wife was acting so strangely?
Neglect.
There were signs of child neglect.

She stopped paying attention to the children,
and the older brother seemed to have been taking care of his sister.
She was lonely.
After all, Takako-san really loved Yajima.
When the children first disappeared, she realised she'd done something terrible.
She blamed herself.
When we received the report from Chairman Kaishou,
we took measures to prevent it from becoming an incident.
So you covered up the evidence of child abuse,
and as a result, the children's lives were...
The same way you covered up your own crime.
After people experience love a number of times,
aside from realising how boring it truly is,
they realise they are really none the wiser.
As a result, they become unable to live without love.
Papa!
Uncle Kaishou!
Thank you!
Papa!
When I saw the slips of paper within the books Takako-san sold off,
I solved the code immediately.
It was so simple, after all.
I then found the children pinned beneath a broken down vehicle.
Their lives weren't in danger,

but considering the mental state of their mother,
we held them in one of our child care facilities.
Let me ask you one thing.
For what purpose do you reveal the truth?
For souls.
Is there really only one, consistent, truth?

What's wrong?
You exceeded my expectations...
Were you the one who imprinted Kaishou's symbol onto the book you gave to Yajima-shi?
As to be expected from the "Defeated Detective".
Or maybe I should be calling you the "Great Detective".
Why do something like this?
I'm a novelist.
A novelist?
I write novels.
Self-Proclaimed Novelist
Prisoner
Self-Proclaimed Novelist
Prisoner
Not with a pen... but with reality.
Following the deductions of the "Great Detective",
all mysteries are brought to light!
I expected that Yajima would kill his own wife.
Why would you try to make that happen?
Because that's the role of the "Great Detective".
No matter how cruel the outcome,
to wait until all of the victims have met their deaths, then bring forth his deduction:
that is the "Great Detective".
No matter how tragic his reasons,
to expose everything in broad daylight;
that is the "Great Detective".
I have chosen you...
...as this world's final "Great Detective".

The next episode is inspired from:
Not "Meiji-era Ango Detective Stories" or even a mystery story at all!
"The Retard"...?
Oh. But I figured we were gonna do this one.
We'd better take this opportunity to do it now,
since it's not a word you can really say on TV these days.
"Retard", "Retard"!
Oh, don't dub in like "idiot".
So anyway, it's not a mysterioso thing, but a war story.
How is this gonna be done?
