Ep. 26: Hajime finge su muerte para exponer al verdadero asesino en Karuizawa

26

Hajime is on the run, now wanted for four murders, and he is sheltered by Cameraman Kiyonori Hariu who gives Hajime photos of the murder scenes and blueprints of Tachibana's villa. Hajime heads back to Karuizawa with Inspector Shigeru Nagashima in pursuit and Hajime jumps from the train into a river to escape. He is taken in by Aoi Hanamura who feels sorry for him. Hajime locates Nonaka at the nearby Yunosawa Hotel, but it is a trap laid by Akechi and Nagashima. However Hajime sees Nonaka leaves by a side door, lured by a false message. Hajime warns her to be careful, but she is later attacked and killed with a knife. Before he runs away, Hajime scribbles a note for Akechi and runs into the kitchen of the hotel. Appearing desperate, Hajime takes a woman hostage and Akechi shoots him and Hajime falls to the ground. In the ambulance, Hajime reveals to his friends that his message asked Akechi to shoot him with a blank bullet and he then spread tomato juice on his shirt when Akechi shot him in order to catch the real culprit. They all travel to Tachibana's villa where Hajime reviews the evidence. (Source: Wikipedia)
