Anfea: The Answer Page #3

---

He played dumb at...

... his internal inquiry.

Murakami's in league with Yukihira.

We can't allow them to smear...

... the department.

We will apprehend Yukihira.

What were you and Mikami talking about?

Nothing special. Old times.

Yukihira... you don't even trust me,

do you.

Not true.

Then talk to me.

You're hiding something from me.

Find happiness this time.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to involve you.

I don't want you to end up like Sato.

I should've gone with him,

even against his wishes.

I don't know what you're after,

but justice won't win here.

They're too powerful.

Quit the force.

Let's quit and go far from here.

I'll make you happy.

Okay?

When it's over.

When this is all over, then...

take me with you.

Location?

What?

Another nail gun victim.

Going?

Take me.

You want to get caught?

Ichijo, Hokkaido Police.

Mr. Ichijo.

I just finished.

Over there.

Explain.

Beats me.

It doesn't fit the pattern.

Could be a trap to lure you.

I'll be there soon.

Just sit tight.

Hello?

Natsumi Yukihira.

Back seat of a black sedan?

You can't hide.

Who are you?

Did you like the present?

I'll return the pendant.

Yukihira.

Hey.

Osamu Yuuki, 38.

Committed involuntary...

... manslaughter as a minor.

Where does he live now?

Well, I did look that up.

Answer me this first.

Shoot.

You and your ex were sniffing around...

... after the hospital crisis.

We were?

Stop that. We're friends.

Were you lying when you said...

... you trusted me?

No, I wasn't.

The rumor is police secrets were stolen...

... during that crisis.

Police secrets? Like what?

Files about police money...

... laundering and such.

An underground organization...

... we know nothing about.

Ridiculous.

On a USB drive.

USB?

Yeah, like this.

Don't tell me...

you stole it.

Me?

And Kazuo Sato was rubbed out...

... as a result.

By whom?

Those above.

If that story's true...

Go on.

The serial killer is working for...

... the department's top brass?

Would be terrible.

But who's to know?

Then I'll see for myself.

If he's really a serial killer...

... hired by the police.

You okay by yourself?

I'll be fine, Mikami.

Who do you think I am?

Be careful.

Yukihira!

It's Yukihira.

Understood. I'll look, too.

Where are you going, Mr. Murakami?

You're suspended, right?

None of your business.

Excuse me.

Spoiled D.A. brat.

Just does what he likes.

Listen up. Stop what you're...

... doing and follow this signal.

Arrest Yukihira and protect police honor!

Sato's not here.

This is boring.

Scream if you like.

The place's soundproofed.

Ms. Yukihira.

Hold it!

Ms. Yukihira, wake up.

What happened?

Let's get you to a hospital.

Hideout.

But...

I need to give it to him.

Give what to whom?

USB with police secrets.

Police secrets?

USB.

They're heading down Route 20,

Nishifubashi intersection.

Who's in proximity?

Unit 23. I'm on it.

Affirmative. Tail him!

You were right. The incriminating...

... data is for real.

The killer wanted this USB.

With it, you've got the police...

... over a barrel.

We made a deal. I give him...

... this, and he lets me be.

I'll be safe.

You do that and you'll be...

... wanted for sure.

If they know you abetted a killer.

Let me help. I'll lure him out...

... and catch him.

I guarantee your safety.

Ms. Yukihira.

This is reckless!

I will go!

You stay here and rest!

Please.

Okay.

That's probably best.

What's the location?

The location...

The Shiomi Factory.

Yukihira!

How embarrassing for you.

Yukihira?

Where'd she go?

You're back.

I'm impressed.

Did you bring it?

Come closer.

Closer.

Relax. I won't do anything.

You promised.

To leave me alone.

To free me.

Yeah, I promised.

I'll leave you alone now.

What choice is there?

You're free, as promised.

Yuuki.

Give it back.

Your voice.

The one on the phone.

The one with all the orders.

My thankful master.

It was you.

I killed her as you asked.

Natsumi Yukihira.

I didn't order that.

Really?

I was supposed to kill all...

... material witnesses, right?

The USB.

Tell me something first.

Bargaining? What is it?

Who killed Kazuo Sato in my name?

Wasn't her, was it?

I did.

He planned to leave the country.

I couldn't wait for you.

Nice imitation, right?

Who do you think I am? You freak.

So that's it, huh?

What is this?

I partnered with Yuuki here.

Did you kill Kazuo Sato?

No, you did.

Pretty cruel murder.

I didn't kill him.

You tried to copy me.

My signature.

Unforgivable.

You spoiled my work.

You're shameless!

No!

What?

I'd have done a much better imitation.

Nape of the neck last,

body facing up.

Blood drained to lighten the load.

Right?

Not to lighten the load.

The corpse is prettier that way.

The skin...

like alabaster.

Then who killed him?

I came here to find out.

I want to know who murdered...

... Kazuo Sato.

And then put the blame on me.

Help me.

Help you?

There's one way to find him.

I'm not lying.

And if you are?

Do what you want with me.

All for the USB, you tortured...

... and killed Sato.

Sure fooled me by joining...

... forces with a serial killer.

You're no better.

Working with a murderer to...

... protect some data?

Hold it.

I'm not done.

Go. I'm letting you off.

But... only once.

Once for both of us.

Why?

Why do this?

You probably wouldn't understand...

... if I said it was for country.

You don't know the USB's true meaning.

The chosen few secretly guiding...

... the unlearned masses.

That's how it's always been in Japan.

Sustaining that requires funds.

And a few sacrifices to...

... preserve secrecy.

You cozied up to me for the USB.

Yes, at first.

That's why I transferred to Monbetsu.

But things have changed.

I really do want you to be happy.

I mean that completely.

Yamaji, arrest Ichijo.

9:
42 p. m.

Suspect in the murder of Kazuo Sato...

... under arrest.

Who'd have figured?

Catch everything?

So you had it.

It went silent, then suddenly...

... I heard Ichijo's voice.

This is one preposterous scandal.

You let a serial killer go.

Sorry, it was a promise.

A promise?

Don't worry.

Ichijo's pals won't waste any...

... time getting him.

How long were you acting?

When I found the bug.

What happened?

Son of a b*tch.

Okay, where's the USB?

Ichijo has it.

Confiscate the USB.

It's important evidence.

Not on him.

Say what?

The USB.

I don't know.

Take him.

Question him thoroughly.

Check the area.

Ms. Yukihira.

Now it's over.

I can chase it all I want.

The evil won't go away.

But...

with more blindly upright...

... people like you...

there may be hope...

... for the world yet.

Murakami?

I leave the rest to you.

Including Ichijo.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't know how far I'll get.

But I'll do what I can.

Arrested Police Chief Ichijo...

... Commits Suicide

Only made to look like a suicide.

You know why Kazuo Sato...

... was killed, right?

He and I were investigating...

... dirty money in Hokkaido.

It seemed tied to that USB.
