Ep. 14: Hajime Investigates Island Murder After Injury at Black Torii Gateway

14

Chris Einstein asks Hajime to investigate a black torii gateway, where Hajime is injured near a geyser. During treatment, Hajime learns that Mimasaka’s daughter Midori resented her father. He also views a photograph from ten years ago showing island owners and treasure hunters, including Professor Saeki and his young son Koichiro. After Saeki’s apparent accidental death, everyone left the island to Mimasaka and departed. That night, Ryuzo Yasojima is killed when his lodge burns down. All guests have alibis except Kohei Himura, who is shot shortly after witnessing the true culprit. While at the onsen, Hajime finds a clue when he discovers that the red ochre on the island turns black on contact with water.
