00:00According to our forensics lab, there was a luminal reaction on the skeleton's teeth.
00:19The wound on the victim's leg was also a match.
00:22However improbable, it's safe to conclude that the T-Rex skull was the tool used to cause the dismemberment.
00:28See? I told you I was a lizard king.
00:32Can you not point your spoon at me?
00:33Now that we've confirmed what caused the injury, can you explain how you came to your conclusion?
00:38From the phenomenon itself and my own observations.
00:42Based on the bite mark, an incredibly large creature must have been responsible for the injury.
00:47However, there aren't many animals alive today that would fit that description.
00:52We're too far away from the ocean, so it couldn't have been a shark or other sea creature.
00:56Basically, he had to have been attacked on land by some behemoth that went extinct long ago.
01:02Sounds crazy, right?
01:05But then, I noticed this museum was located nearby and made the connection.
01:09What a truly brilliant deduction, Dr. Amiku. As expected.
01:12No, I don't see how it makes any sense.
01:15Are you saying the skeleton moved on its own and bit off the victim's leg?
01:18I wish! Now that would be really exciting!
01:20If you don't mind, let's put a pin in that for now.
01:24Could you tell us why exactly your patient's blood was blue?
01:27Hold it! I handed over info, so now it's your time to share.
01:31Ah, yes. I do apologize. How could I forget?
01:34Because you're a sneaky tanuki, that's why.
01:37First, tell me more about that skeleton.
01:40Specifically whether it was fully built on Friday or not.
01:43It was just about to be fully assembled, but they had to pause because of the rain in the afternoon.
01:50By the evening, though, they had finished it.
01:53I see. Next, tell me about the victim. Have you ID'd him yet?
01:58Yes. Kosuke Kumade, 23.
02:01He's her time in prison for assault.
02:05When he got out, he was seen entering the HQ of a known gang.
02:09So, a hoodlum, in other words.
02:10How was the body found?
02:13Jiro Manabe discovered it.
02:16He's the construction site supervisor, man in his 50s.
02:20Work halted due to the rain, but he got worried and went to inspect the site.
02:25And there was Kumade.
02:27So, I imagine this Manabe called emergency services?
02:31Actually, no.
02:33The doctor at a nearby clinic was the one who made the call.
02:36Sorry?
02:37The privately owned Hachiska Clinic was nearby.
02:41Manabe rushed straight there.
02:44The director, Dr. Hachiska, is considered a skilled physician.
02:47So, Manabe brought him to examine Kumade.
02:50Why would he do that?
02:52I mean, the victim had a severed leg.
02:54There wasn't anything that could have been done for him there?
02:57That's what Dr. Hachiska thought as well.
03:01So, he immediately called emergency services and began doing chest compressions.
03:05What's wrong?
03:14Dr. Takao?
03:16What in the...
03:17Ow!
03:18Ow!
03:18You could have asked me to move!
03:21Wait, where are you rushing off to?
03:25Duh!
03:25Hachiska Clinic, where else?
03:30I figured.
03:32Dr. Takao, you realize it's almost 10 at night.
03:36Let's come back tomorrow.
03:37Uh, hello?
03:39Uh, that's not the way home.
03:49For the record, I think this is a bad idea.
03:51Stop being a nuisance.
03:57You're acting like you'd get a prize or something if you could ring it enough times.
04:01What do you think you're doing?
04:02That's what I asked you.
04:04What is going on?
04:06Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, Blue Street Cleaner Wrath, Carpenter's Flasher Wrath.
04:10Huh?
04:11You know your tropical fish?
04:14You must be the director, huh, Hachiska?
04:17I am, yes.
04:18But wait, who in the world are you?
04:20The director of investigative pathology at Tedekai General, Takao Amiku.
04:26Tedekai?
04:27You two need to get out of here, now.
04:30Oh, good evening, officers.
04:32I'm very sorry.
04:34We're consulting with her.
04:36You know, about the deceased man with the missing leg that was discovered behind the museum.
04:41I see.
04:42I was curious why you didn't treat that man at your private clinic.
04:45You do have a surgery room.
04:47Because there was nothing I could do.
04:49His leg was severed and his heart had already stopped.
04:52We were closed that day and there were no nurses on site.
04:56Nothing could have been done to save him.
04:58Your hospital should know that.
05:00That explains that.
05:02Let's go, Kotori.
05:04Huh?
05:04So we're done here?
05:06Yeah.
05:06Oh, and Sakurai, have your crime lab take a look around the museum first thing tomorrow morning.
05:13The museum?
05:14For clues?
05:15That's right.
05:16It won't be long now before the case gets solved.
05:19I'm 100% convinced the culprit left behind vital evidence there.
05:22Um, Dr. Amiku, where are you taking us?
05:32You couldn't have chosen a more difficult path.
05:35Explain yourself already.
05:38Why should I explain myself to those who are so stingy with information?
05:42Hmm?
05:42And what does that mean?
05:45Behind this case, there's a much larger one that you're keeping hidden.
05:49I'm not sure I follow.
05:51Kotori, did you happen to notice all the suspicious men around the crime scene earlier?
05:57What men?
05:58Oh.
05:59The ones that look like they were Yakuza.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Do you remember what you said last night?
06:05I'm too busy for this.
06:08The 4th Precinct's been making a real fool of itself lately.
06:12Well?
06:14The 4th Precinct called the Organized Crime Department now.
06:18So it turns out they were actually police?
06:21But why were they at the scene?
06:23Try casting your mind back.
06:25There was another incident here yesterday.
06:27Let me think.
06:30Involving organized crime.
06:31Good work, my pupil.
06:39A dangerous incident that could have involved innocent civilians.
06:42And the shooter was...
06:44Kumade, yes?
06:46Uh-uh.
06:46After the body was ID'd last night, they learned he was the one they were looking for.
06:51Just one problem.
06:53The person he shot was a member of the Yakuza.
06:56Am I correct?
06:58You've lost me again.
06:59The police are convinced the Yakuza are responsible and took Kumade's life out of revenge.
07:04That's why HQ set up the investigation so fast.
07:07If this case isn't resolved quickly, it may lead to an all-out war between two rival gangs.
07:14What can I say, Dr. Ameiku?
07:16You do not disappoint.
07:18Again, absolutely right.
07:19Did the Yakuza member shot by Kumade die?
07:25No.
07:26He's seriously wounded, but still alive.
07:28The guy's second in command of a minor Yakuza gang that's currently at odds with the gang Kumade's in.
07:34Kumade fled after being shot at himself.
07:37The wound must have slowed him down, and he ended up getting caught by the gang, tortured, and murdered.
07:42That's what we believe right now.
07:44You said he was being shot at, meaning a bullet might have hit him and left bloodstains.
07:52There might have been some, yes.
07:55What color were they?
07:56Red.
07:57You know, like normal blood.
08:01Red.
08:02That's right, detective.
08:03Just like normal blood.
08:05Oh, that reminds me.
08:09Weren't you planning on taking a closer look around the museum either way?
08:13For instance, why was the lock on the back door broken, perhaps?
08:19How'd you know?
08:20As I thought.
08:23So you already know how everything played out?
08:27Well, I have a theory I'm not certain enough to say it aloud yet.
08:31That's why I'm confirming my suspicions.
08:33Okay, but where are you taking us?
08:36Uh, the museum.
08:52And there it is.
08:58There's what?
08:59Wait, is that what I think it is?
09:01Yep.
09:03Blood from our victim.
09:05What?
09:06Now hold up just a second.
09:08Are you telling us Kumade was dragged all the way here?
09:11For what reason?
09:12That, my detective, is the biggest clue to solving this mystery.
09:17Good news.
09:18If we follow the blood, it should lead us to the answer.
09:22What?
09:31My word.
09:32Is that all blood?
09:34This must have been where Kumade was murdered.
09:36Dr. Takao?
09:46Dr. Takao?
09:55What do you find?
09:56Come on.
09:56On arrival, patient found unresponsive.
10:15Sleep and patient do it.
10:16It should be better engaged.
10:17That was pretty interesting.
10:35Huh?
10:35First off, let's ask ourselves why his blood was blue.
10:41Also, how did his leg come to be bitten off by the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
10:47For this mystery, allow me to present my diagnosis.
10:52Oh, my God.
11:22Well, good evening, Doc.
11:27What a surprise running into you at this hour.
11:30I can't believe he really came back here.
11:34Now, if you'd be so kind, would you explain all of this to us, Dr. Ameku?
11:38My pleasure.
11:40Before we declare this case closed, we need to carefully consider every event that transpired
11:45and how they connect.
11:46The body with the blue blood, the leg bitten off by a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
11:51the Nerima shooting, the blue stain in the storage room.
11:55Once you put the pieces together, you get a sense of the bigger picture.
11:59Don't you think, Director Hachiska?
12:02First and foremost, we should focus on the victim's blood and why it was that color.
12:11The phenomenon itself isn't that strange.
12:14Coterie?
12:14Yes?
12:15If a patient's blood is blue, what's the first condition that springs to mind?
12:19Well, let me think.
12:22A disease like that would most likely be...
12:25Medhemoglobinemia!
12:28Very good.
12:29Could you explain what that is to a layman?
12:31It's a disorder where the hemoglobin in red blood cells gets oxidized and turns blue,
12:36hindering the normal transport of oxygen.
12:38Symptoms are dyspnea and also impaired consciousness.
12:43It can lead to death in extreme cases.
12:44You're saying Kumide had gotten this disorder somehow?
12:48To be precise, in the short time between when Kumide got shot and when he died,
12:52something else happened.
12:53That something caused the disorder to develop.
12:55Something as in what?
12:57After executing the rival gang's number two, he was hit by return fire and fled.
13:03There's pretty much only one thing to do after that.
13:06Seek out a doctor.
13:08Precisely.
13:10Medhemoglobinemia usually shows up as a symptom after being poisoned by something,
13:15but it can occasionally be caused by drugs like procaine and lidocaine.
13:19And those are what now?
13:21Local anesthetics.
13:23Kumide must have shown signs of medhemoglobinemia after he received them and died from lack of oxygen.
13:29Am I right?
13:31You are.
13:32But Kumide didn't just suddenly die in a hospital.
13:36This wouldn't even be a case if he'd gone to a proper hospital.
13:40What do you mean?
13:42Kumide didn't have a normal injury.
13:45He'd gotten shot during a gunfight.
13:48The bullet was still in his body.
13:50I get it.
13:52He risked being found out if he went to an actual hospital.
13:55His one choice was to seek help from a corrupt medical institution.
13:59A doctor for the underworld.
14:00That's right.
14:02A certain Hachiska clinic turns out his clientele includes organized crime.
14:09During the procedure, a large amount of local anesthesia must have been used on Kumide.
14:15As a result, he exhibited medhemoglobinemia, and his condition immediately became dire.
14:21Fearing others would discover his unsavory ties, Hachiska didn't take Kumide to a fully equipped hospital.
14:28Instead, he came here.
14:31The one place he could continue treatment.
14:33That's the part I'm still not clear on.
14:36Why sneak a dying man in here, of all places?
14:40Because it had the proper drugs.
14:42What drugs?
14:44Kotari, would you kindly explain how medhemoglobinemia is treated?
14:48Huh?
14:49Well, uh, you would need oxygen therapy, right?
14:52Come on, we both know all that would do is take care of the symptoms.
14:55In order to properly treat him, you need medicine that turns medhemoglobin back into hemoglobin.
15:01Which is...
15:02Good grief.
15:03You should know this as a doctor of internal medicine.
15:09Is that Kumide's blood?
15:10No, this is what would have saved him.
15:14Methylene blue.
15:15What is it?
15:17An aqueous solution with a chemical reducing effect.
15:21It can be appropriately used to treat medhemoglobinemia, and administered orally or intravenously.
15:26Just a second, why would the museum have something like this on hand?
15:31It's quite simple.
15:32Methylene blue is used to kill pathogens that cause white spot disease and water mold on fish.
15:38Fish.
15:38Turns out, you knew a lot of breeds, too.
15:44Yellow tang, blue tang, blue street cleaner wrasse, carpenter's flasher wrasse.
15:47Huh?
15:48You know your tropical fish?
15:51Based on the number of fish the museum took care of, you realize they must have methylene blue.
15:57Kumide needed treatment as soon as possible.
16:00That's why you had to drag him to the storage room.
16:03And the large blue stain we found on the floor inside.
16:08This man tried to treat Kumide by making him drink methylene blue.
16:12One problem.
16:14He was already dead by then, wasn't he?
16:18You panicked and accidentally knocked over the container.
16:22Hey!
16:23Hey!
16:23That's the reason we found it in the storage room.
16:26But can we get back to how his leg got bitten off by the T-Rex?
16:30You have to put yourself in this guy's shoes.
16:33If the body had been left the way it was, it would have been obvious he had received medical help.
16:37That's true.
16:39He severed the leg.
16:40After all, the bullet wound would have been evidence.
16:44So that was the location of the gunshot wound.
16:47Removing a human leg isn't the easiest thing in the world, even for a doctor.
16:51How very astute.
16:53And of course, he couldn't use proper tools to do it either.
16:56He wanted to make it impossible for someone to tell he had tried treating the leg.
17:00He could only sever the limb forcefully with some kind of heavy-bladed object.
17:05That's when he chanced upon it.
17:07A head lined with enormous fangs.
17:13The perfect instrument for the job.
17:16The ideal sharpened tool 68 million years in the making.
17:23Afterward, he carried the corpse through the forest behind the museum.
17:28And dumped it at the empty construction site.
17:34Oh.
17:34You didn't expect that someone would find the body right away, did you?
17:39But wait.
17:40Using the coincidence to your advantage.
17:43You gave chest compressions to Kumade, who was already dead by then.
17:47Then called emergency services.
17:50That is smart.
17:51They wouldn't be declared dead if a doctor was the one administering compressions.
17:54By pretending to do life-saving measures, he delayed police involvement.
17:59And the rain took care of the evidence during the wait.
18:02So, there you have it.
18:03Case closed.
18:04The truth has been revealed.
18:07I will say, that part about using the T-Rex skull and giving chest compressions,
18:11it was pretty ingenious stuff.
18:13He would have pulled off the perfect crime.
18:17Too bad for him, he didn't count on one thing.
18:20The hospital the victim was taken to had its own genius.
18:24Now then, do you wish to clarify anything?
18:27You don't have any proof!
18:29Hey, come on now.
18:31Did you already forget what I said when I was at your clinic?
18:34Oh, and Sakurai, have your crime lab take a look around the museum first thing tomorrow morning.
18:40The museum? For clues?
18:44Surely not.
18:46Oh, I surely did.
18:47You panicked and came back here.
18:50For the methylene blue.
18:51After all, your fingerprints are all over the bottle.
18:54Not a sophisticated trap, but you fell for it.
18:57I... So what if my fingerprints are on it?
18:59You can't prove I cut off that guy's leg and abandoned the body!
19:02That's not enough to arrest me!
19:04You really don't get it.
19:06You think you're getting arrested for damaging and abandoning a cadaver.
19:11You're going to be arrested for breaking and entering into a museum with the intent to steal.
19:17Of course, your clinic will be searched after your arrest.
19:20Who knows?
19:21We might even end up recovering some evidence there, too,
19:24including Kumite's fingerprints and blood.
19:27Hey, we might even find a leg in need of a body.
19:32My diagnosis is complete.
19:37Come along quietly.
19:39Thank you for all your assistance, Dr. Ameiku.
19:42The rest is up to you guys.
19:44Koltry, let's go home and have our study session.
19:46At this hour?
19:48It's already past midnight.
19:49It's your fault.
19:50Oh, I know!
19:51We should totally find a way to celebrate solving the case.
19:53What?
19:54You just have to go and interfere!
19:59I'll kill you, you meddling friend!
20:02Get out of my way!
20:03Who you calling brat?
20:25How dare you insult a professional!
20:27You're the brat!
20:28Stop, Dr. Kakao!
20:30Let me go, Koltry!
20:31The law's on my side!
20:32This is self-defense!
20:33That karate of yours comes in pretty handy.
20:42I mean, after training for six years, I should hope so.
20:45You were so fearless, putting yourself between your superior and...
20:48Something wrong?
20:53Oh, Masaru!
20:55Welcome back home.
20:56Sis, isn't it kind of late to be sneaking into people's houses?
20:59I was worried when you weren't home, so I waited.
21:03You didn't answer your phone, either.
21:05What were you doing out so late at night?
21:08Well, uh...
21:09We were helping with a criminal case.
21:11Dr. Takanashi.
21:13Yes, ma'am?
21:14My little sister's caused you trouble again.
21:16Thanks for all you've done.
21:19Sure.
21:20As for you,
21:21you broke your promises.
21:24You've been ignoring my calls
21:26and eating too many sweets
21:28and said you'd only drink in moderation.
21:31Well, like I said,
21:32we were celebrating solving the case.
21:34That's enough.
21:34You see...
21:35Excuse me.
21:37May I borrow her a moment, Dr. Takanashi?
21:40Sure, of course.
21:42Dr. Rei!
21:43You little traitor!
21:44Come with me.
21:44I'll never forgive you!
21:50Guess I'll get some studying in while I wait.
