Detective Story Page #3

I should've helped.

Hello.

I found this by her feet.

What's this?

What's the matter?

You look depressed today.

There.

No use crying over spilt milk.

Body of a missing housewife

found in the mountain!

San-chan.

Can you raise the volume?

Sure.

We're at the scene of the crime.

This afternoon in the

mountains of Okutama in Tokyo...

That's not far from here, right?

Among the things left at the scene...

Among the things left at the scene...

Nothing good ever happens these days.

The victim has been identified...

...as Ritsuko Asanuma, a housewife

from the Minato district in Tokyo.

Ritsuko Asanuma has been

missing for the past three months...

...and her family had requested

the police to search for her.

The police had been doing

their best to find her whereabouts.

Bartender.

Bartender!

Something wrong?

Something wrong?

It's nothing.

The victim was found hanging from

a tree with her kidneys removed.

It's been determined that...

...she has been dead for a week and

we now await the autopsy results.

Kidneys this time?

The police are tracing her actions that

led to her disappearance three months ago.

Boss? What is it?

Cops are all over my apartment!

They're there too?

Maybe they're after you.

Why are they after me?

Anyway, I got a room

for you at the hotel.

Please stay there until things calm down.

I love you, Nagamine!

Nagamine.

Yes?

Besides, I have no motive.

Plus, I've never met

Ritsuko Asanuma before.

Even Manami Inoue. I only saw her

for one or two minutes at most.

Well, there are many murders

without any motives these days.

The police must've found

something of yours at the scene.

What do you mean

something of mine?

Something that links

me to those murders?

Yes.

But they don't have

credible evidence.

That's why they're trying to corner you

by busting you with a minor offense.

If they're going to bust someone,

then go after the stalker!

Stalker?

It seems that Manami Inoue

was targeted by a stalker.

I'm sure that's why she came to us.

The police don't know about that yet.

I'm sure the police are

going to question me soon...

...so I'll leak that information for you.

Yeah, thanks.

Also, let's try to make a list of

the possible suspects that are living...

...near the victim's apartment.

Thank you.

Are you doing well

with your investigation?

I think I'll manage.

But more importantly, I need to see that

you're cleared of these false accusations.

Thanks, Nagamine.

I'm counting on you.

Oh, don't be like that.

It's not like we're total strangers.

So, tomorrow Ms. Miura of

the art association is coming?

Then, Ms. Kimura can help him out.

What? Me?

I have a hard time

dealing with that person.
