Ep. 1049: Megure enfrenta ameaça à carreira quando Suspect Temukai surge no caso de assassinato de Yamashita

1049

The body of Iwao Yamashita was found in an abandoned factory in Tokyo. Inspector Megure and his team arrive at the scene after receiving an anonymous tip-off, and from the condition of the body, they believe that this was not the place where he was murdered. Meanwhile, an officer from the local police department arrives at Yamashita's home after being unable to contact the family and discovers a safe with the door open in a dilapidated room, and a figurine with bloodstains and hairs lying on the floor. Inspector Megure and his team confirm the scene and begin their investigation, assuming that this is the crime scene. Two days later, a person who has been persistently following the Yamashita department surfaces. When Inspector Megure hears the name of this person, Kyosuke Temukai, he becomes upset. About three years ago, he had spotted Temukata, who was working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government at the time, in the investigation of a murder case. When asked about his alibi for the incident, he reluctantly revealed that it was a secret meeting with a certain businessman. Although his alibi for the murder was proven, Temukai lost his job when the government found out about his inappropriate relationship with a certain contractor. As a result, he is said to be harboring a recrimination against Inspector Megure. He is now in the publishing business, and it is said that he has a method of approaching socially successful people and having them write and self-publish their autobiographies. One of his targets was Yamashita. Temukai says he has an alibi for the time of the murder, but apparently there are no witnesses. The morning after the murder, he had a self-inflicted car accident that destroyed his own car. Inspector Megure and his team believe that he drove the body from the murder scene and burned it to destroy evidence. Inspector Megure decides to put his own neck on the line and arrest Temukai.
