Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi (2020) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
1
If you were to die tomorrow,
what would be your last meal?
White charcoal grilled
Kobe beef steak?
Aged sushi direct from
the Sea of Japan?
Chocolate desserts
for the Belgian royal household?
Rich cured pork ramen
in a backfat-based broth?
Or do you think simple is best
raw egg on rice?
And I My last supper was
I can't remember!
What was the last thing I ate?
I wish I had eaten properly
if I'd known this'd happen!
That's right.
You never know what would happen
in your life.
How many people would be aware that
this supper would be their last?
One could be killed by someone
by some chance.
You never know when you'll die.
If I hadn't met this man
Just because I met this man
You asked for it.
I'm doomed!
"Episode One"
"Ichigo Deli"
- Thanks for waiting!
- There you go.
That's the right amount. Thank you!
- I'll come again.
- Please come again.
Next, please! May I take your order?
Hey, Chef. What's today's
main dish and garnish?
Would you check our blackboard
for today's dishes?
I tell him every time!
I just went to
my favourite boulangerie,
and bought a melange of tasty bread.
Oh, boulangerie? Nice!
- Okay, Kurukku.
- Kurukku.
What is boulangerie?
Boulangerie is this.
Just say "bakery" if it's a bakery!
You ignore your customer
and play with your phone?
For garnish, I'd like
the Spring Ribbon Salad
I think he's the private detective
of a detective agency
at the building round the corner.
He wears
a weird haircut, a weird suit,
and a Bolo tie nowadays
for some reason.
But his face is super
inferior?
650 yen, please.
Oh, no. I have no 1,000-yen note.
May I use this?
This customer is
quite a pain in the neck.
We don't accept credit cards.
You can use a 10,000-yen note,
I've got change.
No, I mean I don't even have
a 1,000-yen note.
But I've made this.
Put it on my tab today as well.
Hey, how many times
have you done that?
You'll make us go broke.
- We can't have that.
- That's why
I'll have to look for another
bento shop if that happens.
We can't have that.
- I'm the one who has a tough time!
- It's late. Let's go.
My customers!
They went somewhere else after
seeing how you treat your customer.
But the taste isn't bad.
It's because you're taking your time
to choose the food!
Hey, Akechi.
You trespassed on our turf again.
Whoa! They look dangerous!
He told me everything.
Mr Akechi, I'm sorry!
No need to apologise! No need!
No!
This isn't the right place.
Let's talk at your office.
Let go.
Will you hurry up?
I'm not a panda.
"Edogawa Detective Office"
Leave now!
- Don't feign ignorance!
- Are you trying to kill me?
Kill him?
Please stop!
Hey! I'll call the police!
What?
The police?
To be precise, it's the MPD's CID's
Chief Inspector and Inspector.
To be more precise,
I'm on a career track,
it'll be the opposite
in three years.
Did you do something bad?
How rude.
Even police officers
have no authority to interrupt
an ordinary citizen's lunch.
Now is my valuable lunchtime.
If I can't have lunch at lunchtime,
you might as well kill me!
You went to the bakery just now,
didn't you?
Private detective.
Don't wander around and get in
the way of our investigation.
What happened at the boulangerie?
Its owner was killed
and the body was found
in the mountain this morning.
His head was hit by
a blunt instrument,
a rolling pin was found near it,
and it could be the murder weapon.
"Bakery Kamada"
However, there was not much blood
left at where the body was found.
My hunch is
he was killed at the bakery.
The murderer is
the baker he employed.
They were seen arguing
at the bakery,
the owner's son and his wife
can testify that.
That's not right.
This natural yeast bread
is very fluffy and moist.
Now isn't the time to
talk about bread!
The yeast used to make
natural yeast bread is sensitive.
It's easily affected by moisture.
If the murder had taken place
at the boulangerie,
the murderer would need to
wash away the blood.
In that case, would the bread be
made so fluffy and moist?
Impossible.
Moreover, would a dignified baker
use his own precious tool to kill?
I know, right?
Even if he'd been told the shop
would be turned into a corner shop?
Who told you that?
The son and his wife have been
telling their neighbours that.
Seems that the murderer
Hang on!
He wants to close the bakery to
turn it into a corner shop,
so he fought with his dad
I've realised.
The owner's son and his wife
killed him!
What the heck?
It was just as I thought!
I've gone around and back to
my original answer.
Let's go, Takahashi!
I'll explain the deduction
on the way.
- No, thank you.
- Don't hold back!
I'll give you the credit.
Just kidding.
Dear me. They wasted seven minutes
of my precious lunchtime.
So, what are you here for?
This, and
- Your bento too.
- Thank you for that.
"Ichigou" Deli's lunch is
No, it isn't "Ichigou,"
it's "Ichigo" Deli.
My name is Ichigo Kobayashi.
Ichigou Kobayashi?
It's Ichigo, without a "u"!
Look, it means "strawberry"!
Not bad.
Anything else?
650 yen, please.
That's right. Well
- May I use this?
- I told you, no!
Yes?
You're having lunch?
I'm sorry.
Oh, is it for work?
One moment please.
That's right. I've got some
good Japanese black tea.
Please make me and the lady
some tea.
Sure!
Wait, why am I doing this?
Infidelity investigation?
"Goro Akechi"
Is "Kogoro Akechi"
the private detective you want?
No.
There is a different aroma
on my husband's clothes every day.
Aroma? You mean fragrance?
It's the smell of food.
Food?
Sometimes it's the aroma of spices,
and some days, it's smoky.
My husband does research
at an office, a so-called
I'm sorry,
would you speak up a little?
I'm sorry.
My husband is a so-called
serious science person.
He comes straight home after work
every day too.
Anyway, he is a serious person.
His only hobby is
reading science fiction.
Could he be having lunch
with his gourmet boss
at various restaurants every day?
Impossible.
My husband hates
all kinds of change.
He has rice, miso soup and fish
for supper every night,
he doesn't even eat meat.
Moreover,
his clothes wouldn't smell of food
if he only eats at a restaurant
Would they?
Indeed.
Unforgivable.
You're still here?
You told me to make tea!
- Did I say that?
- You did.
Is she your assistant?
- Well, something like that.
- I am not!
I'm not his assistant, I'm a cook.
But somehow, it's awful.
He does something inappropriate with
another woman during the day,
but he has supper with his wife
like nothing happened.
I wouldn't be able to stand it!
I'm sorry!
It's okay.
All right, then.
I will investigate it.
However, there is a problem.
What's the matter?
Your husband does something
suspicious at lunchtime.
So if I have to do the investigation
at that hour,
then I can't have lunch.
What?
This is work,
but I don't want to compromise one
of my three meals a day.
But I need to know
where your husband goes,
and look for the restaurant.
What should I do?
What are you talking about?
She needs help!
Don't worry,
I'll make him investigate this.
- Are you telling me to skip lunch?
- I'll deliver you a bento!
Of course,
I'll charge you the delivery fee.
If you get the fee for this job,
you'll pay for all the bento tabs
you've stacked up so far!
I see.
Madam, the problem
is totally solved.
Well then, I'm counting on you.
I feel sorry for her.
The wife cleans, does laundry
and cooks for her husband every day.
But the husband
has an affair with another woman!
Darn it! It's unforgivable!
Well
This is quite common.
No doubt, it's him.
So, where will he have lunch today,
and with whom?
Oh? He has lunch alone?
What a retro restaurant this is.
A woman's hunch is terrifying.
Will you give me the bento now
if you've brought it?
You're aware I'm here?
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
I thought I'd be in the way
when you tail him.
Men are really horrible, though!
It's still daytime now.
Here.
It's like the pinchos I had
in Madrid.
You call Chikuwa and cucumber
pinchos?
I made these so that you won't need
chopsticks on your stakeout.
Not bad.
Just be honest and say it's tasty!
By the way,
I wanted to make a crunchy
pickled plum and perilla rice ball,
but it'll make noises
But he already has
such a gorgeous wife!
Then, the week-long investigation
carried out by Mr Akechi was over.
The lady is
a 27-year old waitress who works at
a coffee shop near his office.
Your husband has lunch at her home
every lunchtime,
and returns to his office at 1:30 pm
every day.
That means my husband has lunch
and sleeps with her for an hour?
Can you do that, Mr Akechi?
An hour?
I can
not.
I spend at least an hour to eat.
After that, I spend days－
What about my husband?
30 minutes each?
Or is it 10 minutes,
then 50 minutes?
What's the matter?
Nothing. When it's more likely
that your husband cheats on you,
you become more lively,
on the contrary.
Do I?
Well, even I can't tell
how he allocates the time
when he's with the woman.
But can going to a woman's home
during lunchtime
be seen as evidence of adultery?
That's the problem.
One of my classmates
is a divorce lawyer,
so I'll ask her to help.
A divorce lawyer? That's someone
you'd want as a friend.
Luckily we have no children,
so I'll ask for a large sum of
alimony and divorce him.
Madam, you don't even smile
at my witty joke.
I am smiling.
This is the face I was born with.
Is that so?
What's the matter?
Nothing, I just thought
it was almost lunchtime.
Sorry, I didn't realise.
You must be hungry.
I'll cook with what I've got,
if you don't mind.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Hang on.
I'll take up your kind offer.
I wish I had bought various things
if I had known.
It isn't much, please try it.
It's salmon meuniere?
Well then, I'll help myself.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Sorry, it wasn't good enough.
I'd like to say this to
avoid any misunderstanding.
My "not bad" is one of
the greatest compliments I give.
What's more,
I said that twice today.
That's great.
I don't know if you realise or not,
you look gorgeous with
the smile on your face just now.
Well then,
I've also had the wonderful dessert,
so I'll go now.
Dessert?
It's your smile.
It's truly not bad.
Considering your life so far,
I can understand
why you don't smile.
However,
have you been keeping your true self
away in your heart somewhere?
You should set your true self free
a bit more from now on.
See you.
You've kept your true self
away in your heart.
You look gorgeous
with the smile just now.
You should set your true self free
a bit more from now on.
Mr Akechi, how did it go?
Did the lady cry?
It's none of your business.
They'll really get divorced?
Haven't you heard of
client confidentiality?
You treat me like your assistant
You've got the payment, right?
Please pay for
all the bento tabs now. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I had a full course
Cantonese dinner last night.
The braised shark fin
"Braised shark fin"
wasn't bad.
Braised what?
Anyway. Today's main dish
is fried prawns?
I'm allergic to prawns,
and you must know that my pets
are two cute red bee shrimps!
You saw them at my office!
I don't know that!
How can you be a chef if you don't
know what your good customer likes?
She listened and made me
a fried Chikuwa wrapped in seaweed.
The chef is a bit impudent,
but quite flexible.
Not bad.
It'll be a candidate
on my last supper's menu.
In Koyama's residential area,
a man's throat was cut,
and someone called the police.
- How unsettling.
- The MPD
thinks it could have been done by
a random killer.
The case happened at a block of
flats that is a 10-minute walk
away from Musashi Koyama Station.
As you can see, there is still
a lot of blood left on the ground.
The police are inspecting
the crime scene.
At around 12:46 pm today,
the man was found lying on
the ground bleeding.
A neighbour found him
and called the police.
Hello?
Something like a blade
Madam, where are you now?
Oh? Mr Akechi?
I'm sorry,
I'm driving now.
But I'm talking on hands free mode,
so it's fine.
Moreover, I'm confident
in my driving skill.
More than my cooking skill.
The man whose throat was cut
is confirmed dead.
Where are you driving to today?
You're enjoying yourself.
Why don't you ignore
your cheating husband
and go on a date with me?
Well, that would be lovely too.
I guess
heaven won't punish me for
doing that before I die.
Before you die?
Madam, let's go to Hayama.
I'll take you to restaurant I know.
It's a secret restaurant
that serves only one couple a day.
Only we will be there.
Let's have some good food
and my chosen wine there.
That's lovely.
My last supper.
- Drive, Ichigou Kobayashi.
- It's Ichigo!
- Why should I drive?
- I'll explain later.
Why? I'm not your assistant,
go there yourself.
I have no driving licence!
So lame! But you're a detective?
Someone's life is at risk, you don't
mind being the cause of her death?
I'm the cause of someone's death?
What the heck? It's too scary! No
Get in at once!
Neutral!
So, you
and the victim, Kenji Takezawa,
have lunch together every day
at the flat in front of
the scene of crime?
I can't tell what you say
if you cry.
Our relationship isn't like that.
I didn't say it is.
You did!
Mr Katono!
I swear, I didn't say that.
I don't do such things
with that middle-aged man.
It's my dream to open a restaurant
in the future,
so I only asked him to come
and have what I cook at lunchtime.
A grown man just eats
at a woman's flat,
and leaves without
doing anything else?
You do suspect me, after all.
Excuse me.
I can't get a hold of the victim's
wife, she isn't at home either.
That's suspicious!
Hang on, how could he have killed
just because he went to have lunch?
Assume it's a random killer
and check again.
Good evening, Mr Akechi.
The restaurant is lovely.
Not bad, is it?
Amazingly
not bad.
Please have a seat.
I'm starving too.
I can't see clearly.
Why do I have to
stand by outside on my own?
Faintly
I smell something nice.
Mr Akechi.
Today, our coastal seafood－
I'd like to have meat.
Red, rare meat.
Certainly, ma'am.
Mountain vegetables
The main dish is,
as per your request,
a rare Ishigaki beef steak.
The dessert is
a combination of berries
They're having
an elegant French dinner?
What are they thinking?
Your foie gras terrine.
My husband hated meat,
so we always had fish for supper.
Grilled fish, sashimi
and boiled fish.
We always repeated
the same, fixed menu.
We never said it was delicious,
and we only had supper
to fill our stomach.
I never had doubts,
I continued to work hard,
and made him the boring dishes
every day.
For 10 long years.
Your grilled Ishigaki Beef steak,
ma'am.
We've prepared it rare.
It looks delicious.
Let's dig in.
You couldn't forgive him
for having a young lover?
Yeah.
Whether your husband
had an affair with the girl－
Mr Detective.
Which one is more important to
a married couple? Sex or food?
You stop making love
when you get older,
but food
It continues until one dies,
and it's important to a couple.
I couldn't forgive him.
I am his wife.
He made me make him
only fish dishes and miso soup,
but at somewhere I don't know,
he enjoyed varieties of dishes
with a young girl.
He had wonderful homemade dishes
with lots of spices and herbs added.
It isn't because he cheated on you?
Does the "cheating" you said
mean sleeping with her?
He didn't do it, then.
He's impotent.
That's why we have no children.
So good!
I haven't had such fine meat
in a long time.
When we first got married,
I wanted to improve my cooking,
so I bought a set of German knives.
But they're lying unused
in my kitchen.
That's why I used it
to cut his throat.
I haven't eaten so much
in a long time.
My last supper is
such expensive French cuisine.
How lucky I am.
I've booked a fantastic room
upstairs with a view of the sea.
This time,
it's all my fault.
I should've realised
your inner thoughts earlier.
My inner thoughts
But I told you
where the block of flats was.
I failed as a detective.
I turned you, my client
into a murderer.
I'll at least make up for it.
Spend your last night with me.
Thank you Mr Detective,
for having my last supper with me.
The steak was really delicious.
It wasn't bad.
I'm honoured that I can be with you
on your last night,
my beautiful client.
I'm destined to meet you.
You told me.
Have you been keeping your true self
away in your heart somewhere?
You set me free.
You said I could be myself.
That was
To me, you are the great detective
Kogoro Akechi.
Thank you for solving my mystery.
Good bye.
Gosh, what's wrong with Mr Akechi?
And what am I doing here?
Huh?
Mr Akechi?
What Mr Akechi!
Mr Akechi!
Sleeping pills?
Mr Akechi! Wake up, Mr Akechi!
Oh, gosh What should I do?
Okay, Kurukku. What should I do in
the case of sleeping pill overdose?
Kurukku.
Walk properly!
Master Kurukku saved you!
Go after her.
Go after her? To where?
A place where someone
who wants to die goes.
Where is that?
- Like a cliff.
- This isn't a suspense drama.
And don't ask me, ask it!
Okay, Kurukku.
Hayama, suicide site, ranking.
- Got it!
- Hayama, suicide site, ranking
- Where?
- is this.
A cliff!
Don't do this!
Oh? Was the amount of pills
not enough?
How did you know I'm here?
I'm impressed, Mr Detective.
I know everything about my clients.
Now, come here.
Don't kill yourself!
It's absolutely not okay
to kill people,
but I totally understand
why you can't forgive your husband.
You can start over,
again and again!
Shut up!
Mr Akechi!
That's what happens if you say
something correct on a cliff.
Help me!
You asked for it.
You're horrible!
Now, let's go
and have a delicious breakfast.
I want to talk to you more.
Talk to me?
About the true self
that you found in your heart.
The one who found my true self
is you.
You are the one who found me.
This is the first case
I had with Mr Akechi.
Her body was not found.
The wife wanted a reason to die.
She wanted to kill herself
in the first place.
She used Mr Akechi for that.
Even Mr Akechi
must feel down now.
Horrible.
There is no fried Chikuwa wrapped in
seaweed today? It's horrible.
This guy
Please make me some now.
What are you thinking?
Hurry up.
"Mary Magdalene
To my handsome detective"
Then, a new case happened.
The culprit is among us.
Mr Katono, it's you.
Your right hand is injured,
and the mark left
by the culprit in the crime
shows that a sharp weapon
entered from the left.
Everyone here is right-handed,
only you can't use your right hand.
Therefore,
only you can be the culprit.
Mr Katono.
If you were to die tomorrow,
what would you eat tonight?
You said you wanted to come
no matter what,
that's why I invited you
to the Gourmet Club.
But it seems what I did was wrong.
I can't forgive someone like you.
Nobody knows when he will die,
this could be my last supper.
But you scooped the freshly made
sea urchin mousse at the centre.
I can't forgive such a fool!
I couldn't help myself!
-Bon appetit!
-Bon appetit!
Gourmet detective?
Sounds like he's weird.
He bosses me around
like I'm his assistant.
He made me his driver
and I nearly fell down a cliff!
He's already put 10 bento's
on his tab this month too!
It was so good.
Momoko, taste the food when you eat,
it's rude to the people who made it!
An idea flashed across my mind.
What?
The private detective
is interested in you.
- What?
- He wants to draw your attention,
that's why he does weird things.
I see. Maybe I'm cut out to be
a private detective.
Oh, stop it!
Why don't you date him?
I'm not that desperate!
He is twisted,
fussy about everything
and it's a pain in the neck.
He wears a Bolo tie nowadays
and he has no fashion sense.
This stingy Akechi keeps
putting bento's on his tab!
Maybe he actually has no money?
He acts like a gourmet,
but if your table manners are bad
when you go on a date with him,
he can go on and on and on forever!
Delicious food is also beautiful,
and its beauty has to be kept
when served,
even if it's a buffet!
Yes, you're right.
It's all my fault.
Just give me a break.
Don't talk when you have food
in your mouth!
Mr Katono!
Mr Akechi!
Hey, Takahashi!
How dare you burst in here
when I'm eating!
Right, Akechi?
But it's an emergency.
A case?
It's a murder.
Blimey! You only need to call.
Don't come here for that.
This is the Gourmet Club!
Do you not have any manners?
Your manners!
But the scene of crime is upstairs.
What the heck?
A young couple committed
double suicide in this luxury hotel?
I want to have lunch
with Mr Akechi too.
Focus on the case.
Who found the bodies?
The hotel's staff.
They didn't show up at
checkout time, so he came to check.
They were last seen alive
at eight this morning.
They ordered room service breakfast.
What's the breakfast menu?
Mr Akechi!
What are you doing?
You aren't allowed here.
You didn't check?
You're stupid if you hadn't.
Yes! I'll ask right now!
Hang on!
Why do you listen to him?
He's just a private detective,
not a police officer.
If you categorise it like that,
I'm on a career track.
Shut up! Anyway, outsiders aren't
allowed here.
Hey! We're inspecting
the crime scene!
Takahashi, tell me
when you know the menu.
Yes! I'd be delighted to!
Mr Akechi is calling.
The Showa Period detective.
Maybe he'll ask you out to make up
for getting you involved in a case?
Just stop it!
Hello?
Today is my monthly lunch gathering,
but it was ruined.
I should've chosen your bento
at the beginning－
I don't know what happened,
but we're closed today too.
Perfect.
Come at once.
I've booked a room at Teito Hotel.
What? Go to the hotel now?
I knew it!
This is Teito Hotel, where the dead
bodies of the couple were found.
What should I do?
He said hotel! What should I do?
I'll go to the newly opened
ramen restaurant at the station now.
You're joking! Oh, hotel
What should I do?
They were sent to the hospital
after that,
but they were just confirmed dead.
The MPD suspects murder
Excuse me, Mr Akechi, this
A murder happened here this morning.
It's been on the news.
Murder?
Whoa! It's trending too!
There are many news reporters too!
Oh, my gosh!
I'll be on TV!
You're still here.
Mr Akechi!
I thought you should've found
who the victims were.
Yes, the man is Tsuyoshi Sawada,
23 years old, part-time worker.
The woman is a waitress,
Eri Kawakami, 25 years old!
Don't tell the outsider everything!
Any poison?
It's cyanide.
Hesitate, at least!
And this is the breakfast menu.
They had French toast,
fruits and tea.
Even a memo?
I hope you can find out
what kind of tea too.
I'll check right away!
You are
My assistant, Ichigou Kobayashi.
Assistant? Mr Akechi,
but you've got me
No! I'm not his assistant.
And I'm not Ichigou Kobayashi,
it's Ichigo Kobayashi.
Let's go, Ichigou.
I told you
Where are you going?
Come in now.
Are you a pervert?
A murder just happened
in this hotel, you
What are you thinking?
Hello, I'd like to order
room service.
French toast,
fruits and tea, please.
It's the breakfast menu?
I know, of course.
I want to have
the French toast here now.
You booked a room
just to check that?
Are you new here?
How many years have you worked here?
You don't know who I am?
A troublesome customer!
I give up!
Your training is insufficient.
We've been using this hotel since
my great-grandfather's generation.
I'm Ogiya Department Store's
Daigoro Akechi's son, Goro.
Yeah? Thank you, then.
Did you just say
Ogiya Department Store?
I did.
Okay, Kurukku, who is the president
of Ogiya Department Store?
This is the president of
Ogiya Department Store.
So, he is
"President, Daigoro Akechi"
My father.
What?
What? You're super rich?
Hang on! You're so rich,
but you put my bento's on your tab?
I do that because I have the money.
You're horrible!
Excuse me.
Mr Akechi, I'm sorry about
how rude our new staff member was.
We'll prepare your French toast
at once.
The manager himself is here.
That's helpful.
That's rich people power.
Manager, I'd like to ask a favour
while you're here.
Yes, anything, sir.
Mr Akechi,
please keep this confidential.
Ogiya has been staying here since
two generations ago, that's why
Don't worry, I only browse
the list of guests here,
I won't take it out.
So, did any guest
draw your attention yesterday?
Guests who drew my attention?
Welcome.
Excuse me, you
Why do you pull a long face?
Do sit down.
Various guests have been
booking rooms online recently
Guests you wouldn't think would
come in the past stay at a discount?
Indeed.
Most are booked through
travel websites.
Mr Akechi,
please keep that secret too.
Impressive, Ringo.
You killed both of them at once.
I didn't intend to kill him too.
This is
What's the matter?
Don't worry, what you did was right.
Here. I've opened
one of my best bottles of wine.
Mary Magdalene.
"Ms Mary Magdalene"
It's Mary Magdalene.
Ms Mary.
You are the one
who found me.
Don't worry.
You won't be arrested.
It's a lie that Japanese law
enforcement is capable.
They only investigate murders
that are easy to solve,
to fake a high arrest rate.
Ringo.
Do you know how many dead bodies
are found in Japan each year?
It's 170,000.
Among them, about 21,000
are suspected to be murdered.
8,000 people go missing
and nobody knows if they're alive.
Among them, the murderer is arrested
in fewer than 900 cases.
If you think about it,
maybe the police only arrest
the murderer
in fewer than three percent
of all murder cases.
Only three in a hundred people.
You're only caught red-handed
or if you make a serious mistake.
Dead people don't talk.
If you kill the person,
he won't say anything.
Killing who you want to kill
is more important than not killing.
Why?
Ms Mary, I didn't pay you.
Why did you help a country girl
like me kill someone?
You know,
I was really excited
when I found you.
I've already killed mine,
so even if I want to kill more,
there is no one for me to kill.
That's why I sent you a message
and asked you to let me make
the murder a beautiful performance.
I can't believe it!
That's the only reason
you did something so dangerous?
Well
There is one more reason.
There's someone I want to meet.
I want to meet him once more.
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what would be your last meal?
After she was reborn,
she called herself
Mary Magdalene.
Gourmet Goro Akechi and they
will play
a bloodcurdling murder game,
and this is only the prologue.
Hurry and come to see me.
We'll be in trouble
if we don't catch the murderer now.
Go to Aomori to pursue the truth.
- Why did you kill your beloved?
- I didn't.
Akechi's secret too.
Look who's talking!
How will their forbidden love go?
I have to kill all the people
in the world.
If you were to die tomorrow,
what would be your last meal?
White charcoal grilled
Kobe beef steak?
Aged sushi direct from
the Sea of Japan?
Chocolate desserts
for the Belgian royal household?
Rich cured pork ramen
in a backfat-based broth?
Or do you think simple is best
raw egg on rice?
And I My last supper was
I can't remember!
What was the last thing I ate?
I wish I had eaten properly
if I'd known this'd happen!
That's right.
You never know what would happen
in your life.
How many people would be aware that
this supper would be their last?
One could be killed by someone
by some chance.
You never know when you'll die.
If I hadn't met this man
Just because I met this man
You asked for it.
I'm doomed!
"Episode One"
"Ichigo Deli"
- Thanks for waiting!
- There you go.
That's the right amount. Thank you!
- I'll come again.
- Please come again.
Next, please! May I take your order?
Hey, Chef. What's today's
main dish and garnish?
Would you check our blackboard
for today's dishes?
I tell him every time!
I just went to
my favourite boulangerie,
and bought a melange of tasty bread.
Oh, boulangerie? Nice!
- Okay, Kurukku.
- Kurukku.
What is boulangerie?
Boulangerie is this.
Just say "bakery" if it's a bakery!
You ignore your customer
and play with your phone?
For garnish, I'd like
the Spring Ribbon Salad
I think he's the private detective
of a detective agency
at the building round the corner.
He wears
a weird haircut, a weird suit,
and a Bolo tie nowadays
for some reason.
But his face is super
inferior?
650 yen, please.
Oh, no. I have no 1,000-yen note.
May I use this?
This customer is
quite a pain in the neck.
We don't accept credit cards.
You can use a 10,000-yen note,
I've got change.
No, I mean I don't even have
a 1,000-yen note.
But I've made this.
Put it on my tab today as well.
Hey, how many times
have you done that?
You'll make us go broke.
- We can't have that.
- That's why
I'll have to look for another
bento shop if that happens.
We can't have that.
- I'm the one who has a tough time!
- It's late. Let's go.
My customers!
They went somewhere else after
seeing how you treat your customer.
But the taste isn't bad.
It's because you're taking your time
to choose the food!
Hey, Akechi.
You trespassed on our turf again.
Whoa! They look dangerous!
He told me everything.
Mr Akechi, I'm sorry!
No need to apologise! No need!
No!
This isn't the right place.
Let's talk at your office.
Let go.
Will you hurry up?
I'm not a panda.
"Edogawa Detective Office"
Leave now!
- Don't feign ignorance!
- Are you trying to kill me?
Kill him?
Please stop!
Hey! I'll call the police!
What?
The police?
To be precise, it's the MPD's CID's
Chief Inspector and Inspector.
To be more precise,
I'm on a career track,
it'll be the opposite
in three years.
Did you do something bad?
How rude.
Even police officers
have no authority to interrupt
an ordinary citizen's lunch.
Now is my valuable lunchtime.
If I can't have lunch at lunchtime,
you might as well kill me!
You went to the bakery just now,
didn't you?
Private detective.
Don't wander around and get in
the way of our investigation.
What happened at the boulangerie?
Its owner was killed
and the body was found
in the mountain this morning.
His head was hit by
a blunt instrument,
a rolling pin was found near it,
and it could be the murder weapon.
"Bakery Kamada"
However, there was not much blood
left at where the body was found.
My hunch is
he was killed at the bakery.
The murderer is
the baker he employed.
They were seen arguing
at the bakery,
the owner's son and his wife
can testify that.
That's not right.
This natural yeast bread
is very fluffy and moist.
Now isn't the time to
talk about bread!
The yeast used to make
natural yeast bread is sensitive.
It's easily affected by moisture.
If the murder had taken place
at the boulangerie,
the murderer would need to
wash away the blood.
In that case, would the bread be
made so fluffy and moist?
Impossible.
Moreover, would a dignified baker
use his own precious tool to kill?
I know, right?
Even if he'd been told the shop
would be turned into a corner shop?
Who told you that?
The son and his wife have been
telling their neighbours that.
Seems that the murderer
Hang on!
He wants to close the bakery to
turn it into a corner shop,
so he fought with his dad
I've realised.
The owner's son and his wife
killed him!
What the heck?
It was just as I thought!
I've gone around and back to
my original answer.
Let's go, Takahashi!
I'll explain the deduction
on the way.
- No, thank you.
- Don't hold back!
I'll give you the credit.
Just kidding.
Dear me. They wasted seven minutes
of my precious lunchtime.
So, what are you here for?
This, and
- Your bento too.
- Thank you for that.
"Ichigou" Deli's lunch is
No, it isn't "Ichigou,"
it's "Ichigo" Deli.
My name is Ichigo Kobayashi.
Ichigou Kobayashi?
It's Ichigo, without a "u"!
Look, it means "strawberry"!
Not bad.
Anything else?
650 yen, please.
That's right. Well
- May I use this?
- I told you, no!
Yes?
You're having lunch?
I'm sorry.
Oh, is it for work?
One moment please.
That's right. I've got some
good Japanese black tea.
Please make me and the lady
some tea.
Sure!
Wait, why am I doing this?
Infidelity investigation?
"Goro Akechi"
Is "Kogoro Akechi"
the private detective you want?
No.
There is a different aroma
on my husband's clothes every day.
Aroma? You mean fragrance?
It's the smell of food.
Food?
Sometimes it's the aroma of spices,
and some days, it's smoky.
My husband does research
at an office, a so-called
I'm sorry,
would you speak up a little?
I'm sorry.
My husband is a so-called
serious science person.
He comes straight home after work
every day too.
Anyway, he is a serious person.
His only hobby is
reading science fiction.
Could he be having lunch
with his gourmet boss
at various restaurants every day?
Impossible.
My husband hates
all kinds of change.
He has rice, miso soup and fish
for supper every night,
he doesn't even eat meat.
Moreover,
his clothes wouldn't smell of food
if he only eats at a restaurant
Would they?
Indeed.
Unforgivable.
You're still here?
You told me to make tea!
- Did I say that?
- You did.
Is she your assistant?
- Well, something like that.
- I am not!
I'm not his assistant, I'm a cook.
But somehow, it's awful.
He does something inappropriate with
another woman during the day,
but he has supper with his wife
like nothing happened.
I wouldn't be able to stand it!
I'm sorry!
It's okay.
All right, then.
I will investigate it.
However, there is a problem.
What's the matter?
Your husband does something
suspicious at lunchtime.
So if I have to do the investigation
at that hour,
then I can't have lunch.
What?
This is work,
but I don't want to compromise one
of my three meals a day.
But I need to know
where your husband goes,
and look for the restaurant.
What should I do?
What are you talking about?
She needs help!
Don't worry,
I'll make him investigate this.
- Are you telling me to skip lunch?
- I'll deliver you a bento!
Of course,
I'll charge you the delivery fee.
If you get the fee for this job,
you'll pay for all the bento tabs
you've stacked up so far!
I see.
Madam, the problem
is totally solved.
Well then, I'm counting on you.
I feel sorry for her.
The wife cleans, does laundry
and cooks for her husband every day.
But the husband
has an affair with another woman!
Darn it! It's unforgivable!
Well
This is quite common.
No doubt, it's him.
So, where will he have lunch today,
and with whom?
Oh? He has lunch alone?
What a retro restaurant this is.
A woman's hunch is terrifying.
Will you give me the bento now
if you've brought it?
You're aware I'm here?
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
I thought I'd be in the way
when you tail him.
Men are really horrible, though!
It's still daytime now.
Here.
It's like the pinchos I had
in Madrid.
You call Chikuwa and cucumber
pinchos?
I made these so that you won't need
chopsticks on your stakeout.
Not bad.
Just be honest and say it's tasty!
By the way,
I wanted to make a crunchy
pickled plum and perilla rice ball,
but it'll make noises
But he already has
such a gorgeous wife!
Then, the week-long investigation
carried out by Mr Akechi was over.
The lady is
a 27-year old waitress who works at
a coffee shop near his office.
Your husband has lunch at her home
every lunchtime,
and returns to his office at 1:30 pm
every day.
That means my husband has lunch
and sleeps with her for an hour?
Can you do that, Mr Akechi?
An hour?
I can
not.
I spend at least an hour to eat.
After that, I spend days－
What about my husband?
30 minutes each?
Or is it 10 minutes,
then 50 minutes?
What's the matter?
Nothing. When it's more likely
that your husband cheats on you,
you become more lively,
on the contrary.
Do I?
Well, even I can't tell
how he allocates the time
when he's with the woman.
But can going to a woman's home
during lunchtime
be seen as evidence of adultery?
That's the problem.
One of my classmates
is a divorce lawyer,
so I'll ask her to help.
A divorce lawyer? That's someone
you'd want as a friend.
Luckily we have no children,
so I'll ask for a large sum of
alimony and divorce him.
Madam, you don't even smile
at my witty joke.
I am smiling.
This is the face I was born with.
Is that so?
What's the matter?
Nothing, I just thought
it was almost lunchtime.
Sorry, I didn't realise.
You must be hungry.
I'll cook with what I've got,
if you don't mind.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Hang on.
I'll take up your kind offer.
I wish I had bought various things
if I had known.
It isn't much, please try it.
It's salmon meuniere?
Well then, I'll help myself.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Sorry, it wasn't good enough.
I'd like to say this to
avoid any misunderstanding.
My "not bad" is one of
the greatest compliments I give.
What's more,
I said that twice today.
That's great.
I don't know if you realise or not,
you look gorgeous with
the smile on your face just now.
Well then,
I've also had the wonderful dessert,
so I'll go now.
Dessert?
It's your smile.
It's truly not bad.
Considering your life so far,
I can understand
why you don't smile.
However,
have you been keeping your true self
away in your heart somewhere?
You should set your true self free
a bit more from now on.
See you.
You've kept your true self
away in your heart.
You look gorgeous
with the smile just now.
You should set your true self free
a bit more from now on.
Mr Akechi, how did it go?
Did the lady cry?
It's none of your business.
They'll really get divorced?
Haven't you heard of
client confidentiality?
You treat me like your assistant
You've got the payment, right?
Please pay for
all the bento tabs now. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I had a full course
Cantonese dinner last night.
The braised shark fin
"Braised shark fin"
wasn't bad.
Braised what?
Anyway. Today's main dish
is fried prawns?
I'm allergic to prawns,
and you must know that my pets
are two cute red bee shrimps!
You saw them at my office!
I don't know that!
How can you be a chef if you don't
know what your good customer likes?
She listened and made me
a fried Chikuwa wrapped in seaweed.
The chef is a bit impudent,
but quite flexible.
Not bad.
It'll be a candidate
on my last supper's menu.
In Koyama's residential area,
a man's throat was cut,
and someone called the police.
- How unsettling.
- The MPD
thinks it could have been done by
a random killer.
The case happened at a block of
flats that is a 10-minute walk
away from Musashi Koyama Station.
As you can see, there is still
a lot of blood left on the ground.
The police are inspecting
the crime scene.
At around 12:46 pm today,
the man was found lying on
the ground bleeding.
A neighbour found him
and called the police.
Hello?
Something like a blade
Madam, where are you now?
Oh? Mr Akechi?
I'm sorry,
I'm driving now.
But I'm talking on hands free mode,
so it's fine.
Moreover, I'm confident
in my driving skill.
More than my cooking skill.
The man whose throat was cut
is confirmed dead.
Where are you driving to today?
You're enjoying yourself.
Why don't you ignore
your cheating husband
and go on a date with me?
Well, that would be lovely too.
I guess
heaven won't punish me for
doing that before I die.
Before you die?
Madam, let's go to Hayama.
I'll take you to restaurant I know.
It's a secret restaurant
that serves only one couple a day.
Only we will be there.
Let's have some good food
and my chosen wine there.
That's lovely.
My last supper.
- Drive, Ichigou Kobayashi.
- It's Ichigo!
- Why should I drive?
- I'll explain later.
Why? I'm not your assistant,
go there yourself.
I have no driving licence!
So lame! But you're a detective?
Someone's life is at risk, you don't
mind being the cause of her death?
I'm the cause of someone's death?
What the heck? It's too scary! No
Get in at once!
Neutral!
So, you
and the victim, Kenji Takezawa,
have lunch together every day
at the flat in front of
the scene of crime?
I can't tell what you say
if you cry.
Our relationship isn't like that.
I didn't say it is.
You did!
Mr Katono!
I swear, I didn't say that.
I don't do such things
with that middle-aged man.
It's my dream to open a restaurant
in the future,
so I only asked him to come
and have what I cook at lunchtime.
A grown man just eats
at a woman's flat,
and leaves without
doing anything else?
You do suspect me, after all.
Excuse me.
I can't get a hold of the victim's
wife, she isn't at home either.
That's suspicious!
Hang on, how could he have killed
just because he went to have lunch?
Assume it's a random killer
and check again.
Good evening, Mr Akechi.
The restaurant is lovely.
Not bad, is it?
Amazingly
not bad.
Please have a seat.
I'm starving too.
I can't see clearly.
Why do I have to
stand by outside on my own?
Faintly
I smell something nice.
Mr Akechi.
Today, our coastal seafood－
I'd like to have meat.
Red, rare meat.
Certainly, ma'am.
Mountain vegetables
The main dish is,
as per your request,
a rare Ishigaki beef steak.
The dessert is
a combination of berries
They're having
an elegant French dinner?
What are they thinking?
Your foie gras terrine.
My husband hated meat,
so we always had fish for supper.
Grilled fish, sashimi
and boiled fish.
We always repeated
the same, fixed menu.
We never said it was delicious,
and we only had supper
to fill our stomach.
I never had doubts,
I continued to work hard,
and made him the boring dishes
every day.
For 10 long years.
Your grilled Ishigaki Beef steak,
ma'am.
We've prepared it rare.
It looks delicious.
Let's dig in.
You couldn't forgive him
for having a young lover?
Yeah.
Whether your husband
had an affair with the girl－
Mr Detective.
Which one is more important to
a married couple? Sex or food?
You stop making love
when you get older,
but food
It continues until one dies,
and it's important to a couple.
I couldn't forgive him.
I am his wife.
He made me make him
only fish dishes and miso soup,
but at somewhere I don't know,
he enjoyed varieties of dishes
with a young girl.
He had wonderful homemade dishes
with lots of spices and herbs added.
It isn't because he cheated on you?
Does the "cheating" you said
mean sleeping with her?
He didn't do it, then.
He's impotent.
That's why we have no children.
So good!
I haven't had such fine meat
in a long time.
When we first got married,
I wanted to improve my cooking,
so I bought a set of German knives.
But they're lying unused
in my kitchen.
That's why I used it
to cut his throat.
I haven't eaten so much
in a long time.
My last supper is
such expensive French cuisine.
How lucky I am.
I've booked a fantastic room
upstairs with a view of the sea.
This time,
it's all my fault.
I should've realised
your inner thoughts earlier.
My inner thoughts
But I told you
where the block of flats was.
I failed as a detective.
I turned you, my client
into a murderer.
I'll at least make up for it.
Spend your last night with me.
Thank you Mr Detective,
for having my last supper with me.
The steak was really delicious.
It wasn't bad.
I'm honoured that I can be with you
on your last night,
my beautiful client.
I'm destined to meet you.
You told me.
Have you been keeping your true self
away in your heart somewhere?
You set me free.
You said I could be myself.
That was
To me, you are the great detective
Kogoro Akechi.
Thank you for solving my mystery.
Good bye.
Gosh, what's wrong with Mr Akechi?
And what am I doing here?
Huh?
Mr Akechi?
What Mr Akechi!
Mr Akechi!
Sleeping pills?
Mr Akechi! Wake up, Mr Akechi!
Oh, gosh What should I do?
Okay, Kurukku. What should I do in
the case of sleeping pill overdose?
Kurukku.
Walk properly!
Master Kurukku saved you!
Go after her.
Go after her? To where?
A place where someone
who wants to die goes.
Where is that?
- Like a cliff.
- This isn't a suspense drama.
And don't ask me, ask it!
Okay, Kurukku.
Hayama, suicide site, ranking.
- Got it!
- Hayama, suicide site, ranking
- Where?
- is this.
A cliff!
Don't do this!
Oh? Was the amount of pills
not enough?
How did you know I'm here?
I'm impressed, Mr Detective.
I know everything about my clients.
Now, come here.
Don't kill yourself!
It's absolutely not okay
to kill people,
but I totally understand
why you can't forgive your husband.
You can start over,
again and again!
Shut up!
Mr Akechi!
That's what happens if you say
something correct on a cliff.
Help me!
You asked for it.
You're horrible!
Now, let's go
and have a delicious breakfast.
I want to talk to you more.
Talk to me?
About the true self
that you found in your heart.
The one who found my true self
is you.
You are the one who found me.
This is the first case
I had with Mr Akechi.
Her body was not found.
The wife wanted a reason to die.
She wanted to kill herself
in the first place.
She used Mr Akechi for that.
Even Mr Akechi
must feel down now.
Horrible.
There is no fried Chikuwa wrapped in
seaweed today? It's horrible.
This guy
Please make me some now.
What are you thinking?
Hurry up.
"Mary Magdalene
To my handsome detective"
Then, a new case happened.
The culprit is among us.
Mr Katono, it's you.
Your right hand is injured,
and the mark left
by the culprit in the crime
shows that a sharp weapon
entered from the left.
Everyone here is right-handed,
only you can't use your right hand.
Therefore,
only you can be the culprit.
Mr Katono.
If you were to die tomorrow,
what would you eat tonight?
You said you wanted to come
no matter what,
that's why I invited you
to the Gourmet Club.
But it seems what I did was wrong.
I can't forgive someone like you.
Nobody knows when he will die,
this could be my last supper.
But you scooped the freshly made
sea urchin mousse at the centre.
I can't forgive such a fool!
I couldn't help myself!
-Bon appetit!
-Bon appetit!
Gourmet detective?
Sounds like he's weird.
He bosses me around
like I'm his assistant.
He made me his driver
and I nearly fell down a cliff!
He's already put 10 bento's
on his tab this month too!
It was so good.
Momoko, taste the food when you eat,
it's rude to the people who made it!
An idea flashed across my mind.
What?
The private detective
is interested in you.
- What?
- He wants to draw your attention,
that's why he does weird things.
I see. Maybe I'm cut out to be
a private detective.
Oh, stop it!
Why don't you date him?
I'm not that desperate!
He is twisted,
fussy about everything
and it's a pain in the neck.
He wears a Bolo tie nowadays
and he has no fashion sense.
This stingy Akechi keeps
putting bento's on his tab!
Maybe he actually has no money?
He acts like a gourmet,
but if your table manners are bad
when you go on a date with him,
he can go on and on and on forever!
Delicious food is also beautiful,
and its beauty has to be kept
when served,
even if it's a buffet!
Yes, you're right.
It's all my fault.
Just give me a break.
Don't talk when you have food
in your mouth!
Mr Katono!
Mr Akechi!
Hey, Takahashi!
How dare you burst in here
when I'm eating!
Right, Akechi?
But it's an emergency.
A case?
It's a murder.
Blimey! You only need to call.
Don't come here for that.
This is the Gourmet Club!
Do you not have any manners?
Your manners!
But the scene of crime is upstairs.
What the heck?
A young couple committed
double suicide in this luxury hotel?
I want to have lunch
with Mr Akechi too.
Focus on the case.
Who found the bodies?
The hotel's staff.
They didn't show up at
checkout time, so he came to check.
They were last seen alive
at eight this morning.
They ordered room service breakfast.
What's the breakfast menu?
Mr Akechi!
What are you doing?
You aren't allowed here.
You didn't check?
You're stupid if you hadn't.
Yes! I'll ask right now!
Hang on!
Why do you listen to him?
He's just a private detective,
not a police officer.
If you categorise it like that,
I'm on a career track.
Shut up! Anyway, outsiders aren't
allowed here.
Hey! We're inspecting
the crime scene!
Takahashi, tell me
when you know the menu.
Yes! I'd be delighted to!
Mr Akechi is calling.
The Showa Period detective.
Maybe he'll ask you out to make up
for getting you involved in a case?
Just stop it!
Hello?
Today is my monthly lunch gathering,
but it was ruined.
I should've chosen your bento
at the beginning－
I don't know what happened,
but we're closed today too.
Perfect.
Come at once.
I've booked a room at Teito Hotel.
What? Go to the hotel now?
I knew it!
This is Teito Hotel, where the dead
bodies of the couple were found.
What should I do?
He said hotel! What should I do?
I'll go to the newly opened
ramen restaurant at the station now.
You're joking! Oh, hotel
What should I do?
They were sent to the hospital
after that,
but they were just confirmed dead.
The MPD suspects murder
Excuse me, Mr Akechi, this
A murder happened here this morning.
It's been on the news.
Murder?
Whoa! It's trending too!
There are many news reporters too!
Oh, my gosh!
I'll be on TV!
You're still here.
Mr Akechi!
I thought you should've found
who the victims were.
Yes, the man is Tsuyoshi Sawada,
23 years old, part-time worker.
The woman is a waitress,
Eri Kawakami, 25 years old!
Don't tell the outsider everything!
Any poison?
It's cyanide.
Hesitate, at least!
And this is the breakfast menu.
They had French toast,
fruits and tea.
Even a memo?
I hope you can find out
what kind of tea too.
I'll check right away!
You are
My assistant, Ichigou Kobayashi.
Assistant? Mr Akechi,
but you've got me
No! I'm not his assistant.
And I'm not Ichigou Kobayashi,
it's Ichigo Kobayashi.
Let's go, Ichigou.
I told you
Where are you going?
Come in now.
Are you a pervert?
A murder just happened
in this hotel, you
What are you thinking?
Hello, I'd like to order
room service.
French toast,
fruits and tea, please.
It's the breakfast menu?
I know, of course.
I want to have
the French toast here now.
You booked a room
just to check that?
Are you new here?
How many years have you worked here?
You don't know who I am?
A troublesome customer!
I give up!
Your training is insufficient.
We've been using this hotel since
my great-grandfather's generation.
I'm Ogiya Department Store's
Daigoro Akechi's son, Goro.
Yeah? Thank you, then.
Did you just say
Ogiya Department Store?
I did.
Okay, Kurukku, who is the president
of Ogiya Department Store?
This is the president of
Ogiya Department Store.
So, he is
"President, Daigoro Akechi"
My father.
What?
What? You're super rich?
Hang on! You're so rich,
but you put my bento's on your tab?
I do that because I have the money.
You're horrible!
Excuse me.
Mr Akechi, I'm sorry about
how rude our new staff member was.
We'll prepare your French toast
at once.
The manager himself is here.
That's helpful.
That's rich people power.
Manager, I'd like to ask a favour
while you're here.
Yes, anything, sir.
Mr Akechi,
please keep this confidential.
Ogiya has been staying here since
two generations ago, that's why
Don't worry, I only browse
the list of guests here,
I won't take it out.
So, did any guest
draw your attention yesterday?
Guests who drew my attention?
Welcome.
Excuse me, you
Why do you pull a long face?
Do sit down.
Various guests have been
booking rooms online recently
Guests you wouldn't think would
come in the past stay at a discount?
Indeed.
Most are booked through
travel websites.
Mr Akechi,
please keep that secret too.
Impressive, Ringo.
You killed both of them at once.
I didn't intend to kill him too.
This is
What's the matter?
Don't worry, what you did was right.
Here. I've opened
one of my best bottles of wine.
Mary Magdalene.
"Ms Mary Magdalene"
It's Mary Magdalene.
Ms Mary.
You are the one
who found me.
Don't worry.
You won't be arrested.
It's a lie that Japanese law
enforcement is capable.
They only investigate murders
that are easy to solve,
to fake a high arrest rate.
Ringo.
Do you know how many dead bodies
are found in Japan each year?
It's 170,000.
Among them, about 21,000
are suspected to be murdered.
8,000 people go missing
and nobody knows if they're alive.
Among them, the murderer is arrested
in fewer than 900 cases.
If you think about it,
maybe the police only arrest
the murderer
in fewer than three percent
of all murder cases.
Only three in a hundred people.
You're only caught red-handed
or if you make a serious mistake.
Dead people don't talk.
If you kill the person,
he won't say anything.
Killing who you want to kill
is more important than not killing.
Why?
Ms Mary, I didn't pay you.
Why did you help a country girl
like me kill someone?
You know,
I was really excited
when I found you.
I've already killed mine,
so even if I want to kill more,
there is no one for me to kill.
That's why I sent you a message
and asked you to let me make
the murder a beautiful performance.
I can't believe it!
That's the only reason
you did something so dangerous?
Well
There is one more reason.
There's someone I want to meet.
I want to meet him once more.
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what would be your last meal?
After she was reborn,
she called herself
Mary Magdalene.
Gourmet Goro Akechi and they
will play
a bloodcurdling murder game,
and this is only the prologue.
Hurry and come to see me.
We'll be in trouble
if we don't catch the murderer now.
Go to Aomori to pursue the truth.
- Why did you kill your beloved?
- I didn't.
Akechi's secret too.
Look who's talking!
How will their forbidden love go?
I have to kill all the people
in the world.
