MPD Division 1

What's going on?

Getting a message like this.

Tonight at midnight

I'll blow up the

Ueno Tower Building

I'm in front of the Ueno Tower Building.

As of 11pm, nothing suspicious

has been found here.

The people around are watching anxiously.

At 8.05 pm today,

A message saying, "Tonight at midnight

I'll blow up the Ueno Tower Building"

was sent to the building.

The police still haven't

identified the sender...

Tokyo Empire Museum

A bomb?

Ground Floor

Security Guard Office

Give me a break.

That's scary, right next door.

- Good work.

- Good work.

We only need the minimum staff today.

- It's busy out there, hurry home.

- Yes, sir.

- I'll be off then.

- Good work.

- See you.

- Bye.

Ueno Tower Building

- Kaneda, that way.

- Okay.

27th Floor East Side Corridor

- Anything there?

- Nothing.

How are things there?

33rd Floor Plumbing Passage

Basement 3 Car Park

10 minutes left.

I hope it's just a prank.

Even if it is, it's unforgivable.

- For now, keep focused.

- Right.

Wait, I'm your senpai...

Tokyo Empire Museum

East Area, can you hear me? Respond.

Anything over there?

Everyone evacuate to a safe area.

- Evacuate!

- Evacuate!

Everybody out!

- Ah, damn it!

- Let's go!

- Evacuate!

- We're out of time!

- Hurry!

- Quickly!

The time in the cuprit's warning,

midnight is approaching.

10 seconds to midnight.

9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 -

4 - 3 - 2 - 1 -

Zero!

- What the hell?

- Fireworks?

What's going on?

- What's that?

- E- Explosions?

Confirm the situation.

Yes, sir!

What was all that about?

Huh?

- The security's switched off.

- What?

- Hurry and check!

- Yes, sir!

The 2nd floor Gallimard painting!

What?!

Inspector!

The fireworks at the next building

were launched using a timer.

I see.

It was a prank after all.

But why do something so elaborate?

Shitara-san!

There's a report from

the Tokyo Empire Museum!

What?

Through here!

The Gallimard painting

exhibited here has vanished.

What's this?

I've taken the treasure

"I've taken the treasure, Lupin the 3rd"?

Lupin?

Lupin the 3rd?

D- Disaster!

He's here.

- He was missing, so...

- Ambulance!

Yes, sir!

The international phantom thief

Lupin the 3rd has finally reappeared.

He stole a Gallimard painting

worth 1.5 billion yen

from the Tokyo Empire Museum...

Security guard Hattori Takashi-san

interrupted his escape,

and was apparently killed in the struggle.

The MPD have released a warrant

for Lupin the 3rd's arrest

on suspicion of Hattori-san's murder,

and a nationwide manhunt has begun.

Metropolitan

Police HQ

Lupin the 3rd has finally

reappeared in Japan.

As you know, Lupin the 3rd is

an international master thief.

MPD Division 1 Superintendent

Jogasaki

Hitoshi

However, there are

no photographs of him

and we have no knowledge

of his real face.

This time, he sent a bomb threat

to the Ueno Tower Building

so security would be relaxed

in the neighbouring museum.

He then entered using the PIN key,

distracted the guards with fireworks,

and cut off the security.

During that time,

he stole a Gallimard painting

worth 1.5 billion yen.

But while making his escape

he encountered security guard

Hattori Takashi-san,

and killed him in a struggle.

The surveillance footage is fragmentary

but records Lupin's movements.

Above all, we must catch him.

This despicable criminal, Lupin the 3rd!

You're making a big mistake.

This troublemaker...

Who's that?

Dunno.

Who are you?

My name is Inspector Zenigata,

of the International Police.

MPD International Investigator

Zenigata Koichi

- Inspector Zenigata?!

- Ah~ That's you.

I've heard rumours.

What brings you here?

What "big mistake"?

Where there is Lupin the 3rd,

there is Zenigata!

However...

...this is not Lupin's crime.

Oh?

What makes you think that?

The culprit this time killed someone.

Lupin is certainly a thief,

but he'd never commit

such a senseless murder.

I see.

But even Lupin,

confused by the guard's

sudden appearance,

- might kill...

- I have...

I have devoted my life as a detective

to arresting that man.

Outrageously distracting

the guards with fireworks.

That is certainly like Lupin.

But it's only "like" him.

That it reached the point of murder

is evidence this wasn't Lupin's work.

I see.

You're a full-time Lupin investigator.

I don't know for sure,

since you're often overseas,

but from what I hear

I seems Lupin has escaped you

every single time.

Well~ I won't deny that.

Lupin is a formidable opponent.

But this case has

nothing to do with Lupin.

I can smell it...

The stench of a rogue

using Lupin's name.

We can't let him get away with that!

Right, everyone?!

Shall we throw him out, sir?

In that case,

I'll let you conduct

your own investigation.

Thank you very much.

You'll need subordinates.

Kunikida,

Sakuraba.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Please support the superb

Inspector Zenigata's investigation.

We will!

Ah...

Okay.

I'll expect great things.

Catch the true culprit, who isn't Lupin.

I understand.

We'll be sure to catch this villain.

Leave everything to me, Zenigata!

This man is Zenigata Koichi,

a famous detective who risks his life

to arrest Lupin the 3rd.

He's a stubborn, honest man

who won't forgive evil.

What?

You already knew that?

But I wonder if you know

what he gets up to

when he's not chasing Lupin?

It seems he charges in and

solves cases in his own way.

Shall I show you?

This is a story of

Lupin the 3rd's eternal rival,

the lovable Inspector Zenigata.

Inspector

Zenigata

Are you sure about this?

Letting Zenigata investigate.

I've heard he's like a softshell turtle.

If I'd refused, he'd have

interfered with our investigation.

MPD International

Investigation Section

That makes sense.

But why did you lend him subordinates?

It's fine.

Kunikida has been a liability

since he came here.

I've told the other, Sakuraba,

to report Zenigata's movements to me.

She's an excellent detective.

I should have guessed.

- Let's go.

- Yes, sir.

Excuse us.

Good work.

Here goes.

What are you so happy about?

It's Inspector Zenigata, isn't it?

He also works for Interpol,

and they said he's a superb detective.

I don't know about that.

Lupin always escapes from him.

I know that,

but it's still an honour

to work with him.

I think we just drew the short straw.

Where shall we start?

The crime lab already...

- Report.

- Yes, sir.

It's here.

Now, let's investigate
