In the MPD Headquarters at Tokyo, Japan, at the Inspector's Office.
Failed again?! Inspector Asahina said, enraged.
We're sorry, Ma'am! Officer Shingo Miyano said calmly.
The culprit just suddenly ran off when we successfully solved the case, we failed to apprehend him as soon as possible. Officer Dia Asahina said coldly.
The two of you are fairly talented detectives, you two have been helpful enough to us for solving cases since your deployment here, even though you're process always takes months of efforts. Inspector Asahina said appreciatively But, the fact that your arrest rate are as worthless as trash or maybe trash has more worth than your arrest rate! That's right, when the two of you works independently...the case always left unsolved, Why? Simple, because you're letting the culprit run off! Inspector Asahina said enraged.
We're sorry, Ma'am! Dia and Shingo said in unison.
Shut up! As punishment for the both of you...No cases for the entire week, you'll handle the paperworks! Inspector Asahina said coldly.
Hey, could you please talk to your auntie? Shingo said pleadingly.
Dia just lets out a sigh of defeat.
Auntie, please give us a chance! I promise that this time we won't fail. Dia said pleadingly.
We're in the Headquarters right now not in our house. Inspector Asahina said coldly.
See, this is the problem...her words are absolute. Dia said coldly, letting out a sigh.
Guess we'll have no other choice but to work in the paperworks this week. Shingo said disappointedly.
Damn right! Dia said, frustrated.
Someone knocks in the door.
You may enter! Inspector Asahina said authoritatively.
We...I mean, She have a case. Shingo said sarcastically.
An officer enters the office.
Ma'am, we have a case! The officer said, urgently.
What's the details of this case? Inspector Asahina said expectantly.
There's a 36 years old man that has been murdered at the Chemistry Research Facility! The murder weapon is a Knife, 15 stabs in total! The officer said urgently.
What? 15 stabs?! That's too much for a random murder...I am pretty sure that the culprit is inside the Facility itself. Inspector Asahina said coldly Alright, let's go to the crime scene immediately! Inspector Asahina said authoritatively.
Yes, Ma'am! I'll prepare the car. The officer said confidently.
The officer left the room.
Shingo and Dia... Remember, no cases for you. Inspector Asahina said authoritatively.
Inspector Asahina left the room in a hurry.
I guess, we must go too. Shingo said sarcastically We have a lot of paperworks to do! Shingo said sarcastically.
Dia and Shingo left the room.
Let's have a quick lunch in the Cafeteria first! Dia said enthusiastically.
Alright, I am in! As long as you'll be the one who will pay for it. Shingo said sarcastically.
I've changed my mind, damn it. Dia said sarcastically.
I am just kidding, come on! Shingo said enthusiastically, letting out a laugh.
What do you want? Coffee? Dia asks curiously.
Yes, black coffee as usual! Shingo said sarcastically.
Catch! Dia said coldly, throwing the can to Shingo.
Shingo swiftly catches the can.
They sat down in a bench.
I guess, we should really learn how to arrest criminals and coordinate our actions...So, that way it won't be a problem anymore. Shingo said with a serious expression.
That's right, we will be an even better tag team. Dia said coldly.
Hello there, young ones! Commissioner Hasegawa said enthusiastically.
Oh, it's you! Commissioner Hasegawa, what a nice surprise! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Why don't you have a seat, Sir Hasegawa? Dia said calmly.
Right, thank you! Commissioner Hasegawa said enthusiastically It seems like the two of you are having a hard time again, what happened? Commissioner Hasegawa asks warily
We've got grounded again by the Inspector. Shingo said sarcastically, letting out a sigh of defeat.
Again? What did you do now? The first time you did it was because you captured a wrong person and what about now? Commissioner Hasegawa asks curiously.
We failed to capture the culprit, he got away from us. Dia said calmly.
Commissioner Hasegawa lets out a sigh.
You have a lot of potential, you have solved small cases since you're arrival here. Commissioner Hasegawa said appreciatively But, when it comes to complex cases and arresting your culprit...you guys got nothing yet. Commissioner Hasegawa said sarcastically.
Oh, come on! Commissioner, we're already aware of that. Shingo said sarcastically.
We're still newbies it's only natural that we fail in the process it will makes us even better and stronger. Dia said calmly.
That's right! I like the way you think, Dia! Commissioner Hasegawa said enthusiastically Keep that positivity in mind and I am sure that you too will grow as great detectives. Commissioner Hasegawa said calmly.
Thank you, we'll definitely keep that in mind, Commissioner! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Anyways, I want to help the both of you in your problems. Commissioner Hasegawa said calmly.
We would really appreciate a help from a professional like you, Commissioner! Dia said appreciatively.
Yes! Please do mentor us! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Oh, I am not the one who will directly help and train the both of you! Commissioner Hasegawa said enthusiastically.
Then, how could you possibly help us? Dia asks curiously.
I know someone who will definitely help you, take it or leave it? Commissioner Hasegawa said coldly.
Alright, who is this person? Dia asks curiously.
This is a friend of mine from the past, he was just the same age as the both of you. Commissioner Hasegawa said calmly I am much experienced and older than him sure...But, he is clearly better than me in terms of detective work. Commissioner Hasegawa said calmly Clearly better than anyone here in MPD. Commissioner Hasegawa adds coldly.
Interesting, who might this person be? Shingo said enthusiastically.
"If he received this kind of praises by the Commissioner himself, then...this person might really be a great detective, he might actually help us!" Dia taught to herself.
So, who is this person and where could we find him? Dia asks curiously.
Commissioner Hasegawa pulls out a photo in his pocket.
This is him, a photo of him...his name and his address aee written in the back of the picture! Here, take it. Commissioner Hasegawa said calmly.
Dia takes the photo.
Izuru Moroboshi, 22 years old. Lives in: Moroboshi Apartment Complex Room 405. Dia said coldly He sure is handsome, huh? Dia said sarcastically.
Can he really help us, Sir? Shingo said hesitantly.
He can, don't worry. Commissioner Hasegawa said calmly.
In that case, let's go and find this person! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Shingo runs off the Cafeteria.
Hey, wait! Dia said coldly.
Dia lets out a sigh.
There he goes again! Dia said, frustrated.
Your friend sure has a lot of energy, huh? Commissioner Hasegawa said enthusiastically.
Yes, if you'll excuse me. Dia said urgently.
Dia left the cafeteria too.
Izuru, I promised you before and I am fulfilling it now. Commissioner Hasegawa said coldly Even if just a subtle way and for a little while, I'll put you out of your misery. Commissioner Hasegawa said coldly.
