I'm gazing on toward a dreamless tomorrow.

Episode 10
「Kaishou Rinroku's Funeral」
Inspired by Sakaguchi Ango's 「Meiji-era Ango Detective Stories "The Sneering Demon" and "The Red Trap"」
This plan isn't very becoming of you.
Of course it isn't!
If I use the same reasoning that Kaishou has come to expect,
Yuuki Shinjuurou
Detective

he'll be able to slip away.
This broadcast is a means for getting him out in the public eye,

so that he has no chance of talking his way out of it.
Are you that bothered by Kaishou Rinroku?
I simply want to bring the truth to light.
Have you ever been interested in the truth?
According to Inga, you became a detective for her sake.
That's wrong!
I became a detective so that I could discover people's truths.
Since it was the only thing I could do.
"People's Truths."
That's what a soul is, isn't it?
You made a promise to Inga to feed her souls;
Isn't that why you became a detective?
With Inga not here,
isn't there no reason for you to seek out the truth?
Kaishou is using Bettennou.
You think I can just ignore that?
Well...
...I agree.

What was it that destroyed the TV station that day?
The most common theory has been that it was caused by a weapon using microwaves...
Witness, Kaishou Rinroku-kun.
Microwaves, or electromagnetic waves, can't be seen with the naked eye anyway, but...
...the power density of microwave transmissions is 23 milliwatts per square centimetre at most.
This is less than a hundredth of the power of what a domestic microwave employs.
Oh, really?
According to the documents leaked by Full Circle-
Ah, and these are genuine, aren't they?
In these, the experimental value is stated to be several hundred megawatts.
That's nothing close to what a microwave uses, is it?
That number is a measure of its lifetime durability;
it doesn't make sense to compare that to its transmission capability.
I'm not too clear on the technical aspects, but doesn't this prove,
as many foreign countries have accused, that the technology could be appropriated as a weapon?
Wait, was JJ Systems a weapons manufacturer?

In 2001...
...people witnessed the scene of passenger jets flying into buildings,
then turned right around and spread rumours of planned explosions.
There were even those who believed such ridiculous theories as hydrogen bombs being used.
Now, in 2011, the influence of those misfortunes still remain,
creating people who think that natural disasters are all caused by some "earthquake weapon".

People tend to believe that the truth is something hidden.
There are subsequently those who believe they themselves will someday learn it.
But there are an innumerable amounts of truths.
If someone becomes satisfied with a single truth,
it simply means that they've stopped thinking any further.
At least that's what I believe.
Is he trying to twist the truth with the power of Bettennou?
I'm not sensing anythi-
Therefore it's acceptable to hide the truth?
That's the way you always do things.
Hide? I'm not hiding anything.
That's the Defeated Detective!
A mysterious explosion occurred at the TV station.
What does he think he's doing?
This is the truth.
Also, at the time of the explosion, Kaishou Rinroku was outside the door of the studio and managed to survive.
But is this also true?
Don't...
What if Mr. Kaishou didn't even come to the TV station in the first place?
What are you saying?!
Kaishou Rie-san...
...on the day of the explosion, what was it that you saw?
He's saying Kaishou wasn't there?!
You're acting strange;
I thought this hearing was supposed to prove his innocence.
Rie... Go ahead and tell him.
That detective believes in you;
Kaishou Family Maid (Head maid)
Kaishou Family Maid
Kaishou Family Maid (Head maid)
Kaishou Family Maid
he believes that you're a girl who cannot lie.
You mustn't betray that trust.
Right after the explosion occurred...
...I saw... My father at home.
What?!
At home?!
What on Earth?!
But just because he was home, it doesn't mean he had anything to do with the explosion!
I examined the surveillance footage from the TV station,
but there was no record of Kaishou Rinroku being there that day.
Could it be the other people involved simply collaborated in saying he was there?

In the first place, the cause of the explosion is still in the process of being investigated by the military and the police.
This is unconfirmed,
but they're rumored to have found fragments of a surface-to-air missile...
A missile?!
Oh my! But now that you mention it, back in 2001,
there was a theory that the Pentagon was destroyed by a missile,
not a passenger jet!
We're not talking about a conspiracy theory... The proof is-
It may even be the same type used in the Public Defense Force's standard-issue rocket launchers.
More than six hundred were supplied to them during the war.
Quite a few, I'd say.
When did she get that information?
Are you implying that the police have been fabricating evidence?
Huh?! They did?!
No, they didn't!
I'd like to call one more witness to the stand!
Inga... Why are you here?
You again?
Answer my question.
Oh my, you mustn't turn to violence!
People have no choice but to answer what she asks.
Just one question...
Tell me the thing that, while absolutely unforgivable,
you have no choice but to hide.
Tell me...
Tell me!
Just before the war began,
the president of JJ Systems at the time, Kaishou Rinroku,
came to the Public Prosecutor's Office,
offering the services of a certain software.
The software was able to alter the last-date-modified of computer files at will...
Furthermore, leaving no trace.
In other words, it is able to change the creation date of evidence and establish proof of a crime.
Hey, somebody stop her!
Why?
She's going to leak something important!
Mr. Kaishou was the only one with the software keys.
This information has nothing to do with this committee!
Most of the criminals during the war were apprehended through his cooperation with the police and prosecutors...

Hayami-kun?
You shouldn't involve yourself with Kaishou any longer.
You should consider your position...
What... What did I say?!
No!
I can't believe it turned out like this... I'm so sorr-
You, who can't lie, said that I was at home.
Therefore,
Yuuki Shinjuurou will certainly infer the presence of Bettennou.
He's a great detective, after all.
Rie... I was at home, wasn't I?
Inga!
Why did you do that?!
I want to eat souls.
But you told me not to kill!
It's too much trouble to eat their souls without killing them.
Are you saying you can't work with me anymore?!
The prosecutors have yet to form a case against that murderer!
Fuwa Juujirou

Fuwa Juujirou

They think they can fool us?!
And it seems they're denying the existence of that alteration software!
Fuwa-san, we've heard reports that you met with Mr. Kaishou that day...
Well, yeah, but... He came late and left his seat almost immediately...
Ah, that's right! Kaishou wouldn't have got up like that;
It may have been a body double!
That unidentified body that came in yesterday?
Are you sure you checked everywhere?
I thought I made a mistake and tried everywhere I could think of...
...but I can't find it anywhere!
Kaishou-san!
Do you admit to your crimes?!
An illegal program... Murder... What do you have to say for yourself?!
Kaishou-san, please explain yourself!
Chairman Kaishou!
You have an obligation to explain yourself to the public!
I have somewhere I need to stop by.
You should go give our thanks to the doctors.
But Father...
Kaishou-san, please answer us!
Kaishou!
Kaishou-san, please answer!
What is your relationship with that female prosecutor?!
Mihara Yasutarou
Member of the Public Security Force Subordinate to Mizuno
Mihara Yasutarou

Have you finished your backroom deal with the prosecutors?
This is flooding all over the net,
along with posts threatening to kill you!
Kaishou-san, what do you have to say?!
Mizuno Sakon

Mizuno...
Everyone, please step away!
The car can't pull out!
Like we give a damn!
Father...
It's dangerous to stand too close...
Chairman Kaishou!
Kaishou-san!
Are you running away?!
Father...?
Whoa, this is bad!
Are they all right?!
Father!
Put out the fire!
Hey... What's happening?!
Once he knew he couldn't escape, he planned his own suicide, huh?
In Mourning
JJ Systems Ltd.
The wake has solemnly begun.
JJ Systems Ltd.
The effects of the role played by Kaishou Rinroku in post-war Japan know no bounds...
JJ Systems Ltd.
If Mr. Kaishou did indeed plan his own suicide,
the fact that he took his driver, Mizuno Sakon,
along with him is unforgivable.
Haven't you done enough already?!
Defeated Detective!
Izumi-san!
You bastard...
...you're the one who killed him!
It was suicide after all?
I don't know!
But the DNA collected from the bodies matched that of Mizuno and Chairman Kaishou!
The ones who killed him... were you and me!
What have I done...?
Wait a second!
Where's Bettennou?
There's no trace of any such thing!
I know she was there with Kaishou!
Shut the hell up already!
I know she was there...
Please, stop it.
Not here...
When I checked, I found out that all of the data on my father's computer had been erased...
...without a single trace.
That's why I think it may have been suicide.
Was he the kind of man to take Mizuno,
his bodyguard, along with him?
What do you know about my father?!
I didn't know anything about him either...
I think I just wanted to understand him...
To know who he truly was,
and that's why I cooperated with you.
But there was no point in any of it...
No point?
It's just as my father said:
There are as many truths as there are people.
Even you...
What about me?
There are any number of truths about you that you haven't shown me.
What does that have to do with-
Just what is that Inga woman to you?
That's... a long story.
It's fine. I have a lot of things that I can't tell you, either.
Father was saying that you would,
"certainly infer the presence of Bettennou".
Huh?
Oh, some blood...
What did he mean by that...?
Once I'm aware of there being two Kaishous,
it would be obvious to infer the presence of Bettennou...?
Wait!
A handkerchief...
Pardon me!
Milady, I'd like to take this opportunity to say I'm really, really, really sorry for your loss.
I only asked him to appear as a witness,
but this detective started saying all these strange things...
It's okay.
Where is it? Where did he leave it?!
If that vehicle explosion wasn't an act of suicide,
the most likely suspects are...
...Fuwa Juujirou, who survived the first explosion,
Mihara Yasutarou, who became commander of the Public Security Force after the death of Mizuno,
and that man we saw leaving the hospital...
Here it is!
How long has that handkerchief been there?
Since when?!
Well... Inga left it there the last time he was here.
But on that same afternoon,
I gave this handkerchief to Diet Member Kuramitsu Mine.
When did Inga get this?
He's been meeting with Kuramitsu Mine...
Where?! When?!
Speaking of Diet Member Kuramitsu,
I happen to have found something interesting.
The Public Security Force's Mizuno Sakon,
who died along with Mr. Kaishou,
was her senior in university, and they were apparently close.
It sure didn't seem that way...
Shall I hack into the university's registry?
Hacking...?
Kazamori!
Do you remember what Mizuno said to me when I first met him?
"Defeated Detective!"
"Are you sure it wasn't you who targeted Kaishou-sensei?"
Not that! Something he said later!
Ah, that noise is a bonus feature.
Just say it already!
"It seems you managed to succeed for once with Yajima-san's request. But..."
That's it!
That's what's been bothering me.
In the end, no crime had taken place concerning Yajima-san's request.
Therefore it wasn't reported on in the news.
Nonetheless, he knew about it. Why?
President's Office
What the hell, man?!

It's either considerably old, or hasn't been electronically recorded...
Well, it isn't too old of a song... it came out quite recently.
It's from that unreleased Yonagahime album.
I really must apologise for what happened last time... What can I say?

Eastern Kantou Social Rehabilitation Promotion Centre Director of Security
Don't worry about it!
I enjoyed my experience here.
'Cause you were surrounded by girls, right?
What could you possibly have to ask him now?
This is a busy time for me to be helping you out.
I expect that he knows more about Bettennou than anyone else.
Bettennou?
Are you still thinking that Kaishou Rinroku had Bettennou in his possession?
If he did, making it appear as if he'd died would be a simple task.
Kaishou Rinroku is alive?
Give it back to me!
These are all records pertaining to Bettennou...
W-Well, yes, we allow the prisoners to write stories at this facility.
Ever since I happened to meet that thing,
Self-Proclaimed Novelist
Prisoner
Self-Proclaimed Novelist
Prisoner
I've been repeatedly running experiments and making records of its abilities.
I tried out everything it was capable of.
That's why it belongs to me.
Give it back!
Hmm?
What's this about "the living and the dead"?
That's really quite interesting.
Say, for instance, there's a living person in this room.
The thing that you refer to as Bettennou would find it difficult to make you believe that person was dead.
Why is that?
A living person talks and moves.
The brain receives influence from those things through the senses of sight and hearing,
creating unbearable frustration through their contradiction with Bettennou's "story".
For instance, if I tried to make someone believe that I am Yuuki Shinjuurou;
Because you're looking at the real thing already,
your brain wouldn't be able to endure that contradictory information.
But if you had the corpse of an explosion victim, with it's general form still intact.
In that case, it would be simple to convince all involved that it was your own corpse.
The necessary part is that they hear your voice.
As people's senses are influenced by Bettennou's power, their brains...
I still can't believe it.
You're seriously saying that Kaishou Rinoku used Bettennou's power to commit murder and fake his own death?
What's that?
A party invitation that was delivered to my office this morning.
The sender is...

So we can come closer together.
But the thing called "truth" doesn't really exist.
Honestly, "truth" is just something that's always being searched out.
People search for the "truth" for eternity,
but the "truth" is eternally ephemeral.
The quest for "truth" brings it into existence,
but it is an object through which its existence proves its non-existence.
When the "truth" occurs in this physical world,
humans have already ceased to be human, you see.
From "I Give Reason".
