Thank you for that meal the other day!
No problem.
How about some sushi in Ginza next time?
Oh? That sounds shady.
It's fine, it's all right. I'm completely harmless.
Please excuse me.
See you!
Sorry about our rascal causing a riot the other day.
Oh, no.
By the way, regarding that case, they want Modern Crimes to come out as well.
Well, we'll try to not get in your way.
That's what I'd like to wish for.
"GIANT DAM PROJECT 300 BILLION YEN ESTIMATE" "REPUBLIC OF POLIADOR PRESIDENT ALVAREZ IN JAPAN"
President Alvarez from Republic of Poliador in Central America arrived in Japan yesterday.
His objective for this visit
concerns the large dam construction project with an estimate of 300 billion yen.
But since the region the dam will submerge has precious historic ruins of indigenous people,
I have some unfortunate news.
it has gathered much criticism domestically and internationally.
We've been assigned security for this thing.
There is indication that the Japanese technicians being deployed
Wouldn't this be too big of a burden for us?
to the construction site may become the target of terrorism.
It's fine, it'll be all right.
It's just for one day tomorrow, and we'll be working with the First Investigation Division.
That gives me a heavy heart in its own way.
They just want more people.
Right?
So I'm counting on all of you!
Director. I'll go, too.
Cho-san, you're off duty tomorrow, aren't you?
It's fine, it's all right. You don't have to strain yourself.
You're almost at retirement age.
I wanted to go to Arita Kinen racetracks, too.
Would you like some?
"FALL HOTLY IN LOVE CHOCOLATE HOT PEPPER CHOCOLATE"
What is this?
A new product, hot pepper chocolate.
Haven't you seen the commercial?
Fall, hotly, in love, choco-latito!
You seem to be having fun.
Hoshino.
This isn't a field trip. Sheesh.
Please do your best to not get in our way.
We're not even here because we want to be.
Come to think, Kambe isn't here.
Apparently his grandmother has suddenly become ill, so he won't be here.
Jeez, this isn't a grade school field trip.
This is somewhat amazing.
There they go in those important-looking cars.
That's virtually a tank.
He must be really scared of terrorists.
And take the current dam construction.
We don't know if it's for the good of the country, or to fill his own pockets.
Isn't that one a bit too big?
Why is he...
Looking sharp!
I might have a crush on him...
Don't worry about him.
I'm sorry. You must be from the Kambe family.
My name is Daisuke Kambe.
Your family's Poliador Kambe Ltd.
has done so much for me, from the Humvee to my SP's equipment.
Well, they aren't cheap, so the feeling should be mutual.
Everyone, check your designated positions.
Oh. That looks tasty.
Go ahead.
Thanks.
This reminds me of the tastes of Ragfan.
Were you born there?
Yeah.
By the way, were there any packages for the security team?
There's been a mistake, and apparently it was delivered here instead.
Yeah. There was one that arrived with the food this morning.
I was wondering what it was.
Let's see.
Yeah. This one.
What is that?
My country still has
so many anachronistic people who are against development, and hide behind tradition.
In order to develop my nation without succumbing to interference from such people,
I most definitely need your assistance.
I am simply here as proxy for my grandmother.
Oh, but you will be picking up the torch of the Kambe family in due time, right?
No. There will not be a day where I succeed as head of the family.
Is that so?
"KYOTO CUISINE BENTO BOX - SANJO"
I heard this place is really tasty.
It's an established Japanese cuisine store! I've never eaten here.
Director's splurging for us!
Mister!
Would you like one, too?
Go ahead, we've got more than enough.
Yes, Kato here.
Oh, Kato. I forgot to take care of your lunch,
so can you buy something at the convenience store and we can pay you back?
But a lunch catering car just--
Oh, make sure to keep it at 500 yen per person, please!
Did you order there as well?
Oh, no. Did you place the order?
I didn't order anything.
The director ordered it, right?
Come on, are you saying some random drivel to steal our lunches?
What was that?
Yumoto.
It was our misunderstanding. Sorry about that.
Come on old man, you too.
Mister...
I'm sorry.
They're done.
Mister!
Which would you like, curry or seafood?
Oh, what's this?
You're wearing such a fashionable necklace!
With this agreement, Poliador will further develop,
and our ties with the Kambe family will become all the more unwavering.
What's the matter?
I am terribly sorry, but we need both of you to relocate to a safer location right now.
This way.
What happened? Where are we going?
From a security standpoint, I cannot give out any details.
Man, I ate so much!
Nothing like aloe jello for a post-meal dessert!
Hurry up! As soon as we're ready, we'll enter the embassy!
What happened?
Moments earlier, First Investigation Division received a request for security escorts
from the embassy.
But the fact you're putting those on--
I have no intention of answering any more questions.
Damn it.
It's fine. We don't have to face any danger.
You got that right.
We're going to do what we can, too.
Please enter.
Ricardo.
That's the only key. Don't let anyone in without my orders.
Understood.
This is the panic room.
It is able to withstand attacks from NBC weapons.
So, what happened?
We found the corpse of this embassy's chef moments ago.
What was that?
Please rest assured.
We have sought assistance from the Japanese police,
and currently chasing the perpetrator with everything we have.
Where was the corpse found?
Tell him.
In the employee corridor near the kitchen.
HEUSC, give me an image.
There doesn't seem to be that much blood staining the floor.
After he was killed somewhere else, was he transported here?
Is there any meaning behind this?
I can't see too well. Lend me your shoulder.
What? Me?
Hurry up!
Don't soil my clothes, okay?
Go ahead.
Hurry up and stand!
I can't.
But you're a police officer, so...
Look!
Hey, you!
Whoa!
Freeze!
This is the police!
With me, Kamei!
H-Hold on!
He doesn't need us, right?
Probably not?
Respond, Ricardo!
No good. Internal comms are out as well.
What's going on outside is--
What?
HEUSC, check the area's communication status.
Currently, with the parking lot adjacent to the embassy at its center,
there is a powerful radio jamming in effect with an 800 meter radius.
What the hell is going on here?
For some reason or another, our communication has been shut down.
What do you mean, some reason or another?
Considering both this and the murder, I cannot deny the possibility of terrorism.
Can you restore it?
I cannot find an effective method.
However, it seems Lady Suzue has noticed the abnormalities on this end.
Her estimated time of arrival is...
...12 minutes and 30 seconds.
Freeze! Police!
Freeze!
All right, we'll split into two and...
Please, take care of the rest!
I'm going ahead, then!
Yes... I'll get backup...
Huh?
But nobody is claiming responsibility, nor making demands.
What do they want to do?
HEUSC, trace the perpetrator's actions before abandoning the corpse.
He was murdered in the storeroom.
That's this room.
What the hell was he doing here?
That's...
...the closet!
This is...
Police.
Why do you run? Do you feel guilty about something?
Come on, tell me your situation.
Kato!
Those who try to sink my homeland under the dam...
...will be in a locked room, unable to call for help,
and drown in terror as they sink to their deaths.
Isn't this a bit bad?
What was that about?
The mass media will talk about overstepping boundaries during investigation and whatnot.
...in a locked room, unable to call for help...
Contact Yumoto or Saeki!
About that...
I've been calling for a while, but I haven't been able to get through.
"OUT OF RANGE"
Let's go!
Again?
This is a cartridge that our country's Security Forces have equipped by standard.
But the color is different from usual.
Can you stop it?
It looks like it's been rigged to release gas if it's stopped.
Analyze the cartridge and the liquid within.
It is a tear gas cartridge manufactured by CXA Security Company.
However, the contents have been swapped with VX gas.
VX gas?
What is that?
A nerve agent of the organic phosphorous type.
I believe this one cartridge can kill several thousand people.
You have to be kidding! Hurry up and stop that thing, or get me out of here!
Say something! Hey!
HEUSC, can you open the door to this room?
The only way to open the door is with a physical key from the outside.
And the key's whereabouts?
I do not have sufficient information.
Please wait.
What?
This is...
This is a declaration of opposition to submerge the ruins in Ragfan, a sanctuary, under the dam.
It must've been this man's homeland, and divine retribution will--
Nonsense!
I don't care about that!
Figure out a way to get out of here or a way to stop this thing!
How many more minutes until Suzue arrives?
One minute and 45...
Estimated at nine minutes, 30 seconds.
Kato!
Where's the president?
Who knows?
What about the guy you were chasing?
He died. After throwing away some puzzling star-shaped thing.
Star-shaped?
Hurry up and get me out of here!
Unfortunately, we have no means...
What did you just say?
Why the hell are you even here? Huh? Do something about this!
Give me the blueprints for the initiator, and how to disarm it.
I cannot answer that.
What do you mean? This is a product from one of our companies, isn't it?
You are not authorized to access that information.
It seems we're currently experiencing a powerful radio jamming around this embassy.
I'm guessing it was intentional.
Yes. Fortunately, the president and any other people
who may be a terrorist's target have already evacuated into the panic room.
In time, the IT team will identify the source of the radio jamming.
Hey, don't come in here!
You guys weren't requested to...
We have a problem!
What is it?
It's Kato's group.
Haru?
Lord Daisuke.
What is he doing?
He plans to prevent the poison gas from diffusing.
But it won't have much effect...
Stand back.
I'm here to save you!
Damn you!
Close it!
Man, they made it in the nick of time!
More like, why did the old janitor have the key?
What about the guy you were chasing?
He died. After throwing away some puzzling star-shaped thing.
Star-shaped? That's right.
I think the president is locked up in--
So how come?
What, what? Tell me!
No way!
So what was the reason?
He said he made a spare key for that room because it's never used
and he's been using it for things he shouldn't have been!
By "things he shouldn't have," do you mean...
I hope you're thankful.
Anyways, why didn't you resolve the situation with the power of HEUSC like you usually do?
Lord Daisuke!
Miss Suzue?
This is probably the thing that was causing the radio jamming.
"GIANT DAM PROJECT FURTHER EXCHANGES WITH JAPAN" "REPUBLIC OF POLIADOR'S PRESIDENT ALVAREZ LEAVES JAPAN"
With the signing ceremony completed anew this morning,
President Alvarez from the Republic of Poliador has departed for home amidst heavy security.
Good work yesterday!
Yeah.
Hello, sir.
Huh? Where's Kambe?
Who knows?
That poison gas was pretty deadly, I hear.
Seems that way.
But that terrorist was planning on dying anyway, right?
Yeah, I'd think so.
I don't think he'd be able to get away in a foreign land like this.
Then he should have spread the gas during the signing ceremony.
Why did he take the effort to lock them up in the panic room to kill them?
It means he wasn't intending to commit mass-murder.
I'm sure he just wanted...
...to protect his homeland.
Most of it has been built in Poliador.
However, the printed circuit board and the cartridge among other parts...
Most of them were made in Japan.
There are a few companies that have technology like this.
Like Mizuo Future Technologies?
Yes. I'm surprised you know so much. They would be a likely bet, I think.
