Detective Story

Synopsis: Raita, a Japanese businessman, just moved into an apartment building where his next-door neighbor is another guy named Raita. But as a private detective, what that other Raita does couldn't be more different from a humble businessman's way of life. One night, in the beginning of a bizarre series of murders, one of the private detective's clients is killed and has her liver removed. The next victim has her kidneys removed, and the third her lungs. The two Raitas follow the clues and meet an eccentric painter, one whose paints are rumored to be made with human blood and organs...

Yuki Aoyama.

Hello?

Hello?

Maho, go take a bath.

Yes.

Why would a rich person

want to live in a place like this?

You can leave it there.

You remember the biggest one?

The really heavy one.

Can you bring that?

I'll put these boxes inside.

Give me a break.

Raita!

Raita!

You better treat me to a barbeque.

Why do I have to

treat you to a barbeque?

What?

What? What's wrong?

Well, Raita, your neighbor...

Are you Raita?

Yes.

My name is Raita too.

Your neighbor is also Raita.

I see.

Well, my name is spelled

in kanji with lightning and thick.

Me too.

Same?

Same?

Yes.

Same?

Same?

Yes.

Yes.

Me too. That's a surprise.

Yes.

You're moving in?

Yes.

Yes.

You're moving in, right?

Yes.

That's good.

I'm Raita, your next door neighbor.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Raita, the next door neighbor.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

DETECTIVE STORY:

Hey.

Was there ever someone who you really

loathed that had the same name as you?

Yeah.

Really?

What did you do about it?

What do you mean?

There's really nothing I could do, right?

Of course not.

What's wrong?

Well, you see...

Takashima.

Were you able to hack

into the OLM server?

No, but I can do it easily.

There are so many flaws.

You're good.

No wonder they call

you the brilliant hacker.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Yes?

We have the same first name, right?

Yes.

Raita.

This must be some work of fate.

Let's celebrate your move-in.

Let's celebrate your move-in.

No, that won't be necessary.

You don't want to?

No, it's not like that...

Right?

Aren't you opening up your boxes?

Ah...

Well, I don't think I'll

be staying here too long.

What?

Well, moving is like my hobby.

Oh...

Um, what is your occupation?

Detective.

Detective?

That sounds like fun.

Not really.

Oh, please.

I've seen it on TV.

They fight bad guys and get into car

chases and sometimes shoot people.

I guess not.

I'm good.

You can't drink my booze?

No...

It's not like that...

You don't like it?

No, I'll drink it.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to disturb

you this late at night.

Mr. Kazama?

Mr. Kazama.

Someone is here to see you.

You should go back.

Who?

I don't know.

Mr. Kazama?

Mr. Kazama?

Are you home?

I'm Kazama.

What do you want?

I needed to talk to you,

so I went by your office.

They gave me this address.

I see...

Who gave you this address?

A person named Nagamine told me.

Nagamine?

What is your name?

Manami Inoue.

Ms. Manami Inoue, huh?

Is this an emergency?

No, not really...

Then, I hate to tell you this...

...but can you come back to the

office tomorrow a little after 10?

You're right.

It's inappropriate for me

to visit you at this hour.

I understand.

I'll come back again tomorrow.

Miss Inoue!

Are you okay?

Hey, Nagamine.

Did you give my home address

to a person named Manami Inoue?

I'm sorry. She seemed to

be in a desperate situation.

Fine.

She's coming to the

office tomorrow morning.

I need you to deal with her.

What? What about you, boss?

Ah, so you drank too much again.

Yeah, something like that.

I'm counting on you.

Kazama Detective Agency...

Boss!

I have bad news! I have bad news!

Ouch! That hurts!

Manami Inoue, that woman

who came here yesterday!

She was found dead this morning!

What!

Well, Manami Inoue, the woman

who went to see you last night...

...was found dead this morning.

What did you say?

On top of that, her liver was missing.

A bizarre murder, huh?

Police are going to trace where she's

been, so they'll be asking us questions.

You're right.

We're going to look

into this case too, right?

Nope.

Our client is dead.

What?

I was really looking forward

to investigating this case.

You're such a

happy-go-lucky person, Mika.

In any case, this is not

something we can handle.

What is that supposed to be?

I just remembered that the

guy over at the barbeque place...

...gave me a piece of liver.

Excuse me.

Welcome.

Mr. Shiobara.

Long time no see.

You look well.

You look well.

Yes.

Yes.

Raita.

Yes.

Raita.

Raita.

Yes.

You know why I

came here today, right?

I don't know.

What the hell is this?

It's a fresh liver.

I know that you don't have the

guts to take on a wild case like this.

You're a terrible cop.

And you're a terrible

detective as well.

Mr. Shiobara.

That's a nasty thing to say.

You know it's true!

You said you were going to

do your best to fight for justice...

...but you quit and make money by looking

into people's extramarital affairs?

I may be a detective now, but

my thoughts haven't changed at all.

Then, why didn't you

help that poor victim?

Isn't that what good guys do?

That victim stopped by your

office before she was killed.

You didn't do anything

to help her out!

It's impossible!

A detective can't prevent murder!

You changed a lot.

Hey, Kazama.

Don't think about

doing anything stupid.

I'm not Kosuke Kindaichi.

I wouldn't do anything stupid.

If you remember

anything at all, give us a call.

Are we done?

Huh?

What's wrong?

My cell phone...

Um, excuse me...

I came here to give

Mr. Kazama his cell phone.

You're the one who called earlier?

Please.

Please.

No, I just...

I just want you to

give him his cell phone...

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Please.

No, I...

Please.

Please.

Thank you.

Please.

Please.

Thank you.

You like the art by Aoyama?

Yes.

You too, Mr. Takashima?

Yes, I really like it.
