"MODERN CRIME PREVENTION TASK FORCE"
I decline!
I don't think I can be an effective mentor to that man!
Would you like one?
Oh, sure.
Then, I'll have an amberjack today.
Here you go.
Then, I guess you don't have to be his mentor. I'm sure he'll act accordingly.
He's an adult after all.
Oh, Kambe.
Your seat's that one.
Um.
Would you like one?
These Gummy Fish are brand new!
A sea bream! A lucky start to the day!
Shut up, Kamei.
It says she died from a drug overdose.
That centerfold model Akiko Hoshida...
Seriously?
"CENTERFOLD MODEL AKIKO HOSHIDA DIES FROM OVERDOSE"
Kato, she was your favorite, wasn't she?
Wait, why are we learning about this through the media?
Because information doesn't get passed on to us.
Chief, I'm heading over to the Stop Shoplifting Campaign now.
Counting on you!
What?
I'll go with you.
I'll be fine by myself.
So don't follow me.
Take me to the scene, Inspector Kato.
"SHINJUKU STATION"
I'm tired.
Click! Hello, this is red panda!
Wait, what the hell?
Hello, this is red panda!
Why the hell did you repeat that?
Two red pandas combine into a raccoon!
That's a whole different animal!
Wait, where are we?
Let's go.
You can go on without me.
Can it be Earth? All right! I'm finally communicating with Earth!
These guys are desperate to survive, too.
Hey! I made it back!
Let's go.
It's not about money!
By performing where people can see, they're improving their skills...
It's a 10k bill!
Let's go drinking!
All right!
Hey! Your money took away their willingness for labor...
Are you listening?
Mescaline, right?
"INTERROGATION ROOM A"
Who'd you buy from?
"THE NEXT DAY"
Someone I don't know.
No, you're buying from an acquaintance.
Where did you buy it?
Kabukicho.
That's another lie.
When did you buy it?
About a week ago.
Around what time?
Nine o'clock or thereabouts...
Lately around 9:00 PM, you've been mostly in Shinjuku.
However, six days ago, on Wednesday around 8:47 PM,
you got on the subway from Shin-Otsuka where your home is, and disembarked at Roppongi.
And the next time you got on the train was the next day, at 10:24 AM.
You bought this in Roppongi.
Who was the dealer?
How much?
What is?
I'll buy information at the price you name.
It'll be worthless unless you speak up before your partner.
Don't get the wrong idea!
We've been a team together for 10 years! I'm not going to betray him!
"INTERROGATION ROOM B"
How's it going?
then it's about money in the end.
How pathetic.
Getting confessions out is all about two hearts colliding.
He should totally get lessons from Cho-san.
I don't care about scum like you.
But when I think about your Momma who raised you all on her own...
I just can't bear it.
Just spill it all out and start over.
Not for yourself, but for your Momma. You understand, right?
I-It's Mr. Isezaki. From him...
Isezaki?
It's probably that model Yuta Isezaki.
He graduated from Todai and does commentary for tabloid shows.
I'll handle the rest.
Yeah.
Well, you're in charge now.
We got the intel. The guy selling them the drug was--
Some model named Isezaki.
No way! It's already been deposited!
How did you know he lives here?
Everyone should know a Mr. So-and-so.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
Hey there. I'm Mita, from Weekly Bunshu.
"WEEKLY BUNSHU JOURNALIST AKIRA MITA"
He's an entertainment journalist.
Though I'm freelance.
That scoop about Eririn the other day was all my doing.
Why are you assisting us?
Back when I was with bad company, Kato seriously scolded me, so...
I can risk my life for Kato!
Come on, don't exaggerate too much.
Tasty.
You've never eaten this before?
No.
There he is!
You live in an impressive place!
It's not that impressive. It's normal.
But we're in the middle of the heart of Tokyo.
Oh. Yui Arasaki.
Well, it's useful for work and stuff.
What?
MISATO, too! Both of them are centerfold models for Millennium Entertainment!
Are you really living here by yourself?
Are you serious?
I'm definitely going to nab that guy.
Where are you taking us?
That's what they say.
You want to come over?
Jeez, this guy sure has energy.
He's been with about ten girls the past week. One after another!
I'm so looking forward to the party!
It's another girl from Millennium Entertainment.
Have I seen that girl before?
That girl with long black hair, right?
Looks like his favorite. Who is that?
Oh, but you like girls who look more pure and innocent, right?
Kato?
Wh-Wha...
Man. Kato, you're way too innocent.
Shut up.
Okay! Let's go catch them red-handed!
No. Let them stay at large.
What? Why?
If we don't hurry...
The drug that Isezaki sells is over 95% pure.
We're going to leave him at large to figure out who's behind him.
Hey. How do you know that much?
Hey, Mita.
Huh? Where's Kambe?
Who knows? Rich Boy probably got bored of playing detective games.
Did you get a lead?
Yeah.
The one behind Isezaki is the Gondawara-gumi.
Looks like the woman with black hair is one of them, acting as liaison.
I see. No wonder she didn't show up after hitting up the agencies.
Kato.
How about you go home for now? You seriously stink.
That woman...
What is this place? A park?
Huh? Damn it.
Come on, give me a break.
What is this building? A hotel?
Y-You...
What are you doing here?
That would be my line.
Is this a restaurant or something? Members only?
Are you hungry?
Well, that's not what I meant.
Prepare meals for two.
As you wish.
This is a rather pompous joint.
Isezaki is getting the drugs from Gondawara-gumi.
And, their liaison, the woman with black hair, entered this place.
What is this place?
Woman with black hair?
Yeah.
She's been together with Isezaki all the time lately.
A-An armored vehicle? Why is something like this...
You must be Mr. Kato. A pleasure to meet you. My name is Suzue Kambe.
Kambe?
Is this your house?
What's going on with that case?
Isezaki is getting supplied by the major organized crime group Gondawara-gumi.
Why don't you use this occasion to crush them all at once?
H-Hold on a minute.
What do you mean, crush? More like, what the hell are you...
I've been doing undercover work against Isezaki under Daisuke's orders.
Gondawara-gumi's operations are essentially controlled by the deputy godfather, Umezu.
Once you apprehend him, everything would collapse sooner or later.
What's the plan?
There will be a drug party soon, and Umezu will be attending as well.
Looks like all the centerfold models and actresses Isezaki rounded up will be attending.
Akiko Hoshida, whose case was recent, also will be...
What are you planning to do?
If I have two billion or so, I can arrest Umezu and destroy Gondawara-gumi.
I couldn't gather enough information to know about the party. I'll admit that.
But I hate methods that involve slapping people with wads of money.
You can do as you please. I'll do things my way.
Mr. Kato!
Um, what about your meal?
And, if you wish, we can prepare a bath.
I'm fine. I'm still working.
He seems quite the serious fellow.
Please have a look at what I've made!
Looks like that party is really going to happen.
I grilled it out from an underling at Millennium Entertainment.
It's in three days, huh?
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.
"PARTICIPANT LIST"
What's this?
Oh. Everyone is referred to by nicknames at the party.
I think that's the keyword to use when you enter.
Thank you. Sorry to trouble you.
You're not thinking about going there, are you?
That's dangerous.
If they find you, they'll sink you under the bay like it's nothing.
I'll pay you back for this sometime.
"MANGROVE ENTERTAINMENT, LTD. ICHIROU KOUCHIYAMA"
Hi, I'm Kouchiyama. I'm here as Whiskey!
Please enter.
Please check your belongings here.
Hold onto it for me.
Excuse me.
What about your belongings?
Y-Yeah.
Hey, anyone know where my smartphone is?
It's the one with Little Wooper on it! Who the hell took it?
Come on, are you doubting me?
Wow, how did you know?
Found it!
Patrol-kun?
Hey, it's you, right Kambe?
Get those guys!
Hey! Why would you go upstairs?
That idiot is in a panic right now.
Kambe!
Wait!
Why would you head up here to the roof? Damn it!
What the? It's not opening! Did he lock it?
Are you an idiot? The lock is on this side!
Damn, this won't buy us much time.
Hey, Kambe...
Mita? You...
Man, that was close. But I did it!
No, besides that...
Open up, damn it! I said open up!
Hey.
I'll say that I threatened you to do all this, so play along with me.
When will the deposit happen?
Deposit?
Oh, you didn't know?
It can't be...
Kato.
I'm sorry, but I've only got one.
Hey, what the hell is that?
D-Daisuke Kambe!
Purchase of The Tower is now complete.
Balance: Unlimited.
What is this?
Poison gas?
The hell? What is going on...
Yesterday, the deputy godfather and effectively the leader
of the organized crime group Gondawara-gumi Mikio Umezu,
model Yuta Isezaki, and roughly 20 others were arrested for suspected illegal drug possession.
They said a lot came out from Umezu's smartphone.
And other crimes, like enough information about the murder of Akiko Hoshida.
In the case of Suspect Umezu,
once allegations for the murder of centerfold model Akiko Hoshida have solidified,
he will be rearrested for those charges as well.
Come with me.
I don't like it.
Don't like what?
That someone like you is a cop!
Why did you join the police?
To nab criminals, of course.
But without doing something like slapping people in the face with a wad of cash.
I heard you used to be in the First Investigation Division.
However, during a siege incident you misfired, and the target was seriously injured.
You've been unable to fire a gun ever since,
and moved from First Investigations Division to Modern Crimes.
You bastard.
Seriously?
It can't be helped! It's orders from above after all.
Kato-chan!
Yes?
Sorry to ask you this, but can you head to Hong Kong this weekend?
There's a symposium about international crime, and we have to send someone over.
I guess I don't mind.
Wow, thank you!
Okay, just ask Kambe for the details!
Sure.
Have a nice flight.
