Detective Story Page #2

Isn't he wonderful?

"Master of Tragedy. "

There's something strangely

appealing about Aoyama's art.

His art has soul.

It's unusual for a Japanese

artist to draw religious pictures...

...but do you know why?

No.

The wife of Mr. Aoyama

lost her sanity and killed herself.

Really?

Since then, he became an admirer of

a German thinker named Rudolf Steiner.

As a result, his work

became more spiritual.

So, the death of his beloved wife

gave him an outlook on life and death...

...and he decided to draw religious art.

That's impeccable.

My name is Masakuni Nagamine.

By the way, Masakuni is spelled...

...with the kanji "Miyabi" for Masa...

...and "Kuni. "

Masakuni.

I work as a detective for Kazama.

But, Mr. Aoyama's art these

days is somewhat different.

You think so?

I don't know how to put it...

...but something is different from his

previous works, and it's not as appealing.

Manami Inoue...

Yes?

Hello.

I came to ask about Ms.

Manami Inoue who lived downstairs.

I told the cop about it earlier.

What? Yoshio was already here?

Hey! Wait a minute, you!

Please take off your shoes!

Yo! Raita Kazama!

You recognized me?

This really stands out!

Are you serious?

You got me.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing?

I'm working my day job.

Well? What do you

think about this outfit?

Looks good, right?

Not bad.

What are you doing here anyway?

Gathering information.

You're doing work that

doesn't pay, aren't you?

Shut up. Leave me alone.

You should follow my example.

Our business in the evening is making

twice as much sales compared to last year.

I'm sure you'll make more money

if you're looking for missing cats.

Being a detective is only business.

What's wrong with

making extra money?

You know something, Ryoko?

There's more to life than money.

There are more

important things in life.

Did something happen?

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

Hey, you want me to help you?

Since we're in the same

business, I'll make it cheap.

No thanks.

I see. Bye.

Hey.

She's a fine woman

besides that attitude.

Someone was stalking her?

Yes.

Hold on a second.

Someone was stalking her?

Yes.

We were in a different department,

so I don't know the details.

But, we had lunch one time...

...and she started talking

about things like that.

Talking about things like what?

She said she got anonymous calls.

She was thinking of

reporting it to the police.

Is that right?

So it's like that...

She said she got anonymous calls.

She was thinking of

reporting it to the police.

Is that right?

So it's like that...

Looks like this isn't a case that

a worthless detective can solve.

What a waste.
