Perhaps, this is none of my business...
But is there something troubling you?
Maybe something
had occurred here?
Baby...
My baby...

Hey, hey, hey! Then what happened? She fell to your chest and?
She sobbed sorrowfully.
She was crying, crying!
And then, what?
And then, it's censored.
Hey! That's unfair!
You've cut it all so sudden!
If I'll tell you,
my rosy dreams will elude.
"Metropolitan Police Scientific Research Department"
Ah, hello there!
Thanks a lot!
There you go!
You've helped us a lot.
How did it go?
I'll put it in this file.
About that,
as we've heard,
the girl withdrew money from her parents' account and is now in Okinawa.
Navi went to bring her back immediately.
That's good to hear.
It would've been really bad, if it was known that I gave you that file.
You're right.
How about it?
Don't you want to take a quick peek inside?
In my office room.
Please.
What's the matter?
Let's go.
This is the room with rotten corpses, where they reconstruct their faces...
Reconstruct their faces?
- Are they doing something like that to the face? - This is facial care!
Hey.
How old is that person?
Well, about it...
She's somewhere in between 30 and 40 years-old.
If it's that broad, it's not going to be easy to identify her.
The contours are pretty good.
Was she beautiful?
Well, pretty much.
As expected from you!
She looks so alive.
Well, something like this...
What's the matter?
This person...
You know her?
I've met her yesterday!
What!?
That woman, from before...
This is ridiculous!
This is ridiculous indeed.
If that corpse lady and that woman you've met is the same person, what shall we do?
Captain, doesn't that mean that you went on a date with a ghost?
I'm sure you're right...
That's absurd!
The first rule of ghosts is
not to go out with people they are not related to!
It seems to be difficult for them.
There...
It is...
Let's go to my Agency and see what's going on.
It's in Akendai Heights, nearby.
Wait a moment.
She was not a ghost.
She was a real woman.
However...
That woman's corpse...
It reeks...
I can smell a crime.
It's as always, engulfed by a shadow of felony.
And is destined to have lots of money in it!
Ouch!
You're here again!?
What are you here for!?
You've become much better at wearing a suit!
But his face isn't keeping up.
Leave me alone!
Listen up!
Chief Nagumo and Mr. Katsura are both away to Sendai!
I understand.
The only thing I'm sure of, is that I didn't come here to see you.
You, bastard!
Mr. Asou!
This is the report of the team that discovered the body.
Niizuma reports,
the body was found in an unoccupied and rundown building last night.
The demolition workers
were the first one to spot the body.
What was the state of the body when found?
Mr. Asou.
Do you have something on this case?
Why don't you,
please, tell me first?
Overseas tobacco.
One of the limited Arabian ones.
- That's quite rare... - Please, take one.
Keep your hands off!
Is that fine?
- There you go. - It tastes great!
And so?
I can't compete...
against my senior, Asou.
She died four months ago.
The whole body was in a decomposed state.
But, a small amount of productive toxins was detected
in the remainder of her stomach.
Well, given the other circumstances,
we've ruled it as a homicide.
Wait a moment, Mr. Kanazawa!
Aren't you giving too much information to this outsider?
I get you.
You also wanna taste it. Take one.
Alright, I'll smoke it!
This is an unidentified case.
I may be able to help you with it, as you couldn't solve it.
You have some ideas?
No comment.
Excuse me?
Yes?
Hey, you!
You can't park here.
Ah, I'm sorry!
I was just waiting for a person.
Well, many accidents
have happened here.
- Please, be careful. - Thank you.
This woman
was killed four months ago,
after being poisoned by
productivity toxins...
Another person.
One of them switched places...
Somebody benefited from it.
I want to benefit from it too!
A baby...
Be careful, many accidents have happened here.
Accidents!
A baby!
This is it!
I'm back!
How did it go?
I've got some info!
A year ago, on 15th of July, a father and son were hit by a truck, while trying to cross a road late at night.
The mother was only miraculously scratched!
However, a nine-month old baby was killed.
Down there.
There it is!
We need her address!
It's on second street in Oyama.
It's not that far from that footbridge.
Alright!
Darts!
Hang on!
I don't work for free.
He's right!
Captain
What's the point of doing something that won't earn us anything?
Come on, wake up!
The cost of petrol for the car and food
is ridiculous!
But I was lying awake at night worrying about it.
There's definitely lots of money behind this incident!
Well, it's supposed to.
What if that woman on the footbridge has nothing to do with it?
She's right.
Captain, what you are doing, is trying to play some old detective game.
Working for justice and with no pay.
On which side are you on?
Of course!
That's good!
Then, I'm your client.
500 yen per hour!
Here's the fee for two hours!
- Let's go! - Okay!
Can't do much about it...
"Taniguchi"
It's big, spacious, old, all in all a classic mansion!
Perfect for ghosts to live in!
Let's go inside and say hello to a Werewolf.
Wait!
Before that, we have to go around the neighborhood and see if Frankenstein or Dracula will appear.
Let's head back.
What's the matter with these guys?
If they bother you,
I could ask them to leave.
What's the matter?
Did you forget something?
I think,
I've got myself into a trouble...
Why's that?
Didn't I tell you not to go outside too much?
Talk to me, Asako.
Captain!
I think I've got closer to the truth!
You know, the owner of that mansion
is named Taniguchi Tetsuo.
He used to run his parents' business before.
But now it's gone and he's unemployed.
His wife is Asako.
She's 20 years younger than him.
So, where do they get their money from?
What's that?
The hell's that?
You've got 30 more minutes left.
You're so stingy...
Stingy!
- Damn it... - Well?
That is not very clear.
But have you seen that place?
It's going to fall apart any time soon.
No matter how you look, there's no money in it.
But seriously.
At that footbridge,
that's not a very common thing to hear somebody talk about their dead babies.
Hey.
Let's drop this case, Captain.
But you know, I...
Is that your ex-detective's hunch?
Gimme a break.
It was a bad joke.
I've got a bad feeling...
Ouch, it hurts!
Mr. Asou.
Yes?
You forgot this.
Thank you.
Do not worry...
About...
Shall we go together?
Yes.
Well.
Let's go...
Please, right this way.
Mr. Asou, are you leaving?
I've got some business with this person.
You don't have to worry about anything.
Yes...
You didn't see anything.
Inside this car,
Mr. Asou wasn't there.
Am I right?
I haven't seen Darts since the last time.
No, I haven't heard anything.
Okay.
That's strange...
Is he together with Darts?
Listen,
what did Mr. Asou say before he left?
He said that he has to do some research.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it.
This is not even about the money.
You're right.
I'm worried about my salary for this month...
Hey, Mr. Harada!
What?
Did Mr. Asou tell you anything when he was leaving?
We haven't heard from him for five hours!
I don't know a thing.
But he must have returned back already, that's weird!
I...
Did not see a thing!
Dracula speaking.
Cut!!! Cut this!!!
Who the hell put a phone down there!?
Yes, that's me!.
Imbecile! Idiot! Idiot!
Why the hell is there a phone inside Dracula's coffin?
What!?
Our Captain is gone!?
And Darts too!?
Okay, I'll be there soon!
I'm sorry.
- I have to go! - What!?
I'll leave the rest to you.
Then, who's gonna play Dracula?
Mr. Suehiro!
Mr. Suehiro.
This cloak looks perfect on you!
I'm scared!
You shouldn't fight.
Both of you,
are very good friends.
Well...
Now, sit down on that bench.
You guys, seem to be getting into some pretty crazy stuff.
Asou.
Yes...
That woman you met on the footbridge is a nobody.
You seem to be doing a lot of research on her.
Why would you do that?
The face of a reconstructed corpse woman
and of the woman on the footbridge,
bore identical faces.
So, that's why you were checking up on her?
Yes.
You too?
Yes.
That's correct.
That's not good.
You shouldn't do that.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
You must all forget about it.
Forget it all.
Yes.
We will.
This is way too strange!.
Something must have happened to them!
I'll go to Niizuma station.
Maybe Asou is there.
Alright!
I'll go, look for Darts at his disco.
I'm counting on you.
Leave it to us!
We'll get the details!
Yes!
Excuse me...
Is a man, named Mr. Asou in here?
He just left a moment ago.
I see...
This is...
- Who I am. - I see.
President of the Chiba Fisheries Cooperative Association.
Please...
That's fine, come in.
Please, take a seat.
Do you have a request for us?
Yes.
Frankly speaking,
I want to find my daughter.
She left our parents and went to work as a nurse in Tokyo.
However, about four months ago,
quite unexpectedly,
she has disappeared.
Is that so?
Yes.
Then, I'll have to ask you for more details.
"President Sugita Senkichi"
I've told you he wasn't here!
We're not babysitting the Asou Detective Agency here!
Got that?
Didn't you hear what I've told you?
Don't even tell me that there is even a slightest possibility that you arrested Mr. Asou!
What!?
Shame on you! I'm gonna lock you up for offending me!
Offending you?
Lock me up?
Are these the words you say to a lady?
Hey, hang on!
He really didn't come here.
He did not come!
Really?
Mr. Kanazawa!
I've finally finished it.
The facial reconstruction.
Thanks for bringing it.
No worries.
- Hey, it's been a while. - Are doing fine?
Mr. Kanazawa,
please, identify this person as soon as possible.
Okay?
So, this is that woman?
"Could someone identify this woman?"
(On the board, there is a photograph of Megumi Yokota who was abducted by a North Korean agent in 1977)
It seems that he didn't go to Niizuma station.
Darts disappeared when he was cleaning toilets at the disco.
I'm out of ideas...
Hey!
What's that?
A client have come here,
asking to find his daughter.
All I see these days are runaways.
Did you take this job?
Just when we've got this job, both Darts and Captain are gone...
Hey, wait a sec.
- What? - Isn't it her?
That's right!
This is that dead woman!
I've just seen her face back in Niizuma, there's no mistake!
Are you sure?
They do look the same...
I'm getting a bit confused, could you clarify?
There's that victim...
Yes!
Captain!?
Darts!?
Where have you been?
We're back...
Hey, Captain.
Have a look!
What a beautiful lady.
What are you talking about?
We've received a request to find a runaway girl.
And this is the photo of her.
It turns out that she looks exactly like that dead woman!
That lookalike seems interesting...
Interesting...
Stop fooling around, both of you!
Mr. Asou, your initial hunch might be right!
Initial hunch?
What do you mean?
I do not know.
Hey!
Don't you think something's wrong with them?
Look!
Captain?
Darts!
What's the matter?
They seem to be hypnotized...
That's right!
Will they recover from it?
A douse of water surely will do the trick!
No, that's not going to work.
I understand!
In such adverse condition,
one has to stimulate the central nervous system,
to awaken the subject.
So, what shall we do?
In such case,
the subject can be easily awakened by the opposite sex or any other form of stimulation.
For example,
something like a kiss.
But...
Think of this as a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
I wonder if they are actually hypnotized...
If you're not gonna hurry up, what are you gonna do with the unenthusiastic versions of them?
Stimulate the central nervous system...
Stimulation by the opposite sex...
I understand!
- We'll just have to do it! - Great!
Mr. Asou?
Right this way.
Excuse me...
You'll take care of Mr. Asou?
Then, I'll take him.
I'm so glad Navi isn't here...
Because otherwise,
a disaster would've happened.
Crap! This freaking Casanova!
Navi!
Bastard!
- This is a misunderstanding! - Shut up!
Stop this!
- Navi! - I'm not forgiving you!
Oh my... Navi.
Hey! Cap...
Yu! What are you doing!?
He's not coming back...
He woke up!
Mr. Asou! What happened!?
Both of you were hypnotized!
Hypnotized?
Back then, I was cleaning lavatories.
Because the health inspection was coming.
Pops!
The club's not open yet!
I know that
- I've come for you\.N- Me?
What do you want?
Isn't it beautiful?
- Your watch? - Yes.
It's beautiful, right?
Well.
Come along with me.
Yes...
That's him!
That suspicious geezer!
I second that.
He was wearing a kimono back then.
I couldn't have expected him to dance in it.
But why can't I remember?
What in the world was I doing?
And you've got no clue.
Probably you were his target.
Captain.
Captain, so far,
you was working on the assumption that
that dead woman and the woman on the footbridge is the same person.
Reconstructed?
Woman on the footbridge?
What's that?
Here!
This missing daughter is the key.
She has the same face as that dead woman.
Her father asked us to find her.
And paid us 300,000 in advance.
Am I right, Yu?
What's wrong with her?
If the subject is still not clearly awake,
food and other items that are closely related to the subject's life
can bring back clear memories,
and restore a sense of everyday life.
There's only one way!
- Horse mackerel sandwich! - Two pieces!
Bring it up.
Are you sure that she is your wife?
There's no mistake.
She's your substitute.
However,
it felt strange, being
at the crematorium.
I guess that's how villains feel,
when their wives die.
But you know,
it was worth, waiting
for her reconstructed corpse
to be identified and released.
Asako.
Let's go abroad!
Once we receive the insurance money,
it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to travel around European countryside.
You're remembering that again?
When our child died,
he came back in a box just like this one.
It was an accident, forget about it!
But,
if it hadn't been for that accident,
I wouldn't have met
the woman who looked just like you.
That nurse, who happened to have taken care of you
in the hospital.
If I hadn't met her,
I would've never ever be able to come up with such a good story.
But you know, Asako,
this was a present.
For us.
As a filial piety,
given, from our dead Kazuo.
What!?
You identified the body?
Yeah.
The body was handed over to the Niizuma police station.
And certainly, somebody named Taniguchi
confirmed that she was definitely his wife and took her with him.
Taniguchi?
Mr. Asou!
I think, that's the wrong woman.
What a relief!
I'm so glad, that wasn't my daughter!
Mr. Asou.
There's actually one tricky thing...
As far, as I'm aware,
that dead woman, had never ever given birth to a child.
And yet, this Taniguchi,
as I recall, had lost both his wife and child.
And he also muttered about it.
My daughter is single.
Mr. Sugita.
Let's go.
Thanks a lot.
No, but...
Let's go.
Hi!
I've got a great discovery!
Captain, I've got it!
So?
Taniguchi was after the 100 million yen insurance payout.
What I did, was a bit of serious research and I got it right away!
100 million yen?
An insurance fraud?
So, he killed someone, instead of his wife?
Oh yeah.
Alright!
That 100 million
must go to Mr. Sugita.
Our client, whose daughter was killed.
We're taking 100 mil from him!
What about a 5 million reward for us?
One million per each!
Now, it's time for our strategy!
How shall we avoid being hypnotized?
How about being hypnotized from the start?
How about earplugs,
Eye patches
- And medical face masks? - Nope.
We'll wear masks!
Another relative of her have turned up?
Isn't it weird?
And that's probably her actual one.
Who's that?
Who are you!? Hey!
You...
Gramps.
You did it quite well, but where's it now?
You shouldn't use it to fulfill your villainous desires.
Mr. Taniguchi,
congratulations on your
100 million payout.
What?
For that 100 mil,
you've killed a person, instead of your wife.
Shall you let us take it to pay for one's daughter's funeral?
Where is it?
The 100 million.
You...
There's no such thing in here.
All of you,
have just seen a dream.
We won't get tricked once again...
That's right.
Just like that.
Just like that...
Farewell.
Let's move!
Jun.
Darts.
Wake up!
Hurry up!
Asako! Come with me! Let's go!
You've got to stop the bad behavior!
You, bastards!
Naruze!?
Out of my way!
- Darling! - What are you doing!?
Naruze, don't try anything bad!
Sir.
Miss.
I am very sorry,
but I'm taking this money.
Miss, thank you for your help
Hang on, you, man in a hat
That was so dirty, damn it...
Shit!
Wait, you son of a bitch!
It's dangerous! Do you want us to get hurt!?
Hey, wait a...
You're waking up in a detention facility next time!
Farewell.
Jun, just like that!
Money! Money!
- 100 million yen! - One million per each!
Finally, from rags to riches!
I've got a bad feeling...
I'm sorry as always.
You fuckers, again!? Can you ever stop?
- Hand it over. - Do you really think you can just take people's hard-earned stuff?
- Stop talking nonsense! - Thief!
- Asou! - I'm not some criminal! I'm Jun! (or "obedient")
Hey! Stop it!
Give it to me!
Welcome back!
A present from Okinawa!
Thank you!
- Daughter was safely returned back to her parents. - Thanks for your work!
Good job!
You did a great job!
What's that?
What's the matter?
No, I've actually had the most wonderful dream.
What kind of?
I can't tell that to Yu.
To tell the truth,
on a beautiful Okinawan beach,
I kissed Yu!
You've had a really good dream. As for me...
I dreamed of large, muscular rats,
who appeared here.
And I hurried up
to disinfect this place.
That's so disgusting...
- That's quite a contrast. - Well, it was like that...
Speaking of dreams...
Captain, are you gonna try it?
What's the matter?
Hypnosis.
Look into my eyes!
Look very closely!
There is is!
You're gradually going asleep.
Now, all of you
are birds, that are going to take off into the wide sky.
And now, peacefully.
We are
The Angels!

Another man stopped by their Agency.
This is a scary, very scary story on a summer night.
A client appears at the Asou Detective Agency and the whole team is very happy.
But on a closer inspection,
it is a dead man!
As always, Asou is in trouble.
Alright!
Now, the body is found by inspector Gorilla, who holds lots of grudge against him.
And the grudge of a woman, slowly rises.
"We are the Angels!"
"If you're unlucky, you're on death row"
"Stay tuned!" Don't miss it!
