[TAKAO]

Why do all these people burn?

There has to be an explanation.

Humans are 65% oxygen,

18% carbon, 10% hydrogen,

3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium,

1% phosphorus,

with trace amounts of sodium,

magnesium, potassium,

and iron.

Combustion is caused

by rapid oxidation

and the subsequent generation

of light and heat.

as fuel, the most likely

cause of

Haruka, how is she doing?

The shock of it all

is affecting her pretty badly.

I mean, it's only natural.

Having her father die

right in front of her

and in such a crazy way?

Yeah, I know.

Doctor Takao is

her usual self?

[MAI]

Yeah.

Murota, though.

Why'd he suddenly

burst into flames?

[MAI] Did he have

some kind of incendiary device

planted on him?

[YU]

We would've noticed something

that bulky on his body.

You have a point.

Sakurai?

Hey, detective.

I'm here.

Dr. Takao, Sakurai wanted

to have a word with you.

Kind of busy.

Hm?

- Give it!

- Uh?

[TAKAO] Sakurai, did you

look into the hospitalization

history of Murota's wife

and daughter?

[SAKURAI]

Yeah. Right.

About that.

[sighs]

As I thought.

[TAKAO]

Just one more thing.

The police autopsy

still hasn't ascertained

Murota's cause of death, right?

[SAKURAI]

Right.

Looks like

it'll take some time.

Got it. Later.

[SAKURAI] [gasps]

Ah, wait, I still have que--

Well, one last puzzle piece.

[TAKAO] If we only had

a sample of Murota's blood.

[YU]

Too bad we don't.

- [MAI] Actually

- [TAKAO] Hm?

[TAKAO]

What is it, Mai?

Um, we do have a blood sample.

We do?

[MAI] When he was

admitted to the ER,

right before

the chaos broke out

I drew some

that should've been sent off

for testing by now.

Uhh.

Then why don't we don't have

any blood results for Murota?

[MAI]

That's weird.

[YU]

Maybe the lab didn't do any.

Since he was deceased,

they might have thought

it was unnecessary.

[gasps]

[TAKAO]

I want those tests run now!

Oh, man, that's brutal.

How awful.

Kagaya?

What are you

That smell.

- Gasoline?

- [sighs]

Well, he is trying

to burn this place down.

Ah!

[YU]

Why would he do that?

[TAKAO] To get rid

of evidence, naturally.

Evidence?

♪

[TAKAO]

From the very beginning,

this case was an amalgamation

of different crimes

and coincidences.

Which made it look

more complicated

than it actually was.

For a moment, it seemed

like Onmyouji's curse

was the only explanation.

Event number one,

the Cryptococcus.

Event number two,

Aoi Kuramoto burning to death.

Event number three,

Ikari's coffin fire.

And the fourth event,

Murota's combustion.

Oh, yeah, and that minor event

where you got threatened

and your car exploded.

[YU]

A minor event?

[TAKAO] Ashiya Yuuta's actions

were the result of his hatred

for you and his

fanaticism of Enzo.

He had nothing to do

with the other events.

♪

As for the original "curse"

on Murota and Ikari?

That was definitely

caused by the Cryptococcus.

But the second

and fourth events

are the ones

we should be focusing on.

I mean, they are the reason

he's trying to burn down

the warehouse.

I think you lost me again.

If we search this storage room,

we'll find the item

that triggered

the spontaneous

human combustion

that k*lled both Aoi Kuramoto

and Murota.

[Yu sighs]

[YU]

It's in here?

What in the world is it?

White phosphorus.

And what is that?

An allotrope of phosphorus,

my pupil.

Also an extremely toxic one.

[TAKAO] Fifty milligrams

is lethal to humans.

Taking any more

causes a variety of symptoms

from gastrointestinal damage,

like vomiting,

diarrhea, kidney,

and liver damage,

or coagulation abnormalities

which can lead to death

within a few hours.

When Murota

was brought to the ER,

he already had acute

white phosphorus poisoning.

It was too late for him.

[TAKAO] But the toxicity

isn't the only dangerous thing

about the material.

Its ignition point

is unusually low,

making it highly pyrophoric.

And white phosphorus matches

are stored in this room.

[YU]

White phosphorus?

[TAKAO] Matches made

with white phosphorus

instead of the more common

red phosphorus.

They have an ignition point

of 50 degrees Celsius.

But they can ignite

at even lower temperatures

depending on humidity.

Invented in the 1830s,

they exploded in popularity,

but their toxicity

and tendency to suddenly light

caused many issues.

So much so that Japan banned

the manufacturing of them

in 1921.

They shouldn't exist

in our modern era anymore.

However, there's a trove

of them currently in that safe.

[sighs]

[KAGAYA]

You have a good eye.

[Takao smirks]

Then that means

Uh!

Kuramoto's death

was caused by

[TAKAO]

Yeah.

Unbeknownst to him,

the box of matches

Murota gave her

contained white phosphorus.

That night,

she turned up her heater,

causing them

to spontaneously ignite.

That one was an accident.

Murota's fire was triggered

the same way.

At the time, he was carrying

white phosphorus

matches on him.

Remember the electric blanket

the paramedics wrapped him in?

That's what caused

the box of matches

in his chest pocket

to spontaneously ignite.

A little heat, and voila!

You have what looks like

spontaneous human combustion.

Took us a little longer

than we thought,

but we made it.

[NARUSE] [sniffs]

Eh? Gasoline?

Ah?

So, what kind of situation

are we dealing with here?

[gasps]

[Kagaya panting]

[Kagaya grunts]

[NARUSE]

Ah, what the

I wouldn't come any closer.

[gasps]

[KAGAYA]

Don't worry.

I'm not going to escape.

I think you better

explain yourself, Kagaya.

The doctor

can tell you the details.

I m*rder*d Murota.

[all gasp]

[KAGAYA]

I replaced his normal matches

with the ones

in this storage room.

And did it all on my own.

So, you were behind it.

[KAGAYA]

Yeah, that's right.

That man.

He planned to make me

work for him forever.

He saw me as a sl*ve,

nothing more.

I wanted to get back at him.

All that's left is to burn

this storage room down

and get rid of the evidence.

You b*stard.

True.

Burning it to the ground

is your only option.

Since you're unable

to open the safe.

[gasps]

- Uh?

- Hm?

Why does that matter?

[TAKAO]

Ahem.

Now that everyone's here,

I'm done warmin' up.

Let's begin

with the third event.

Why Ikari's coffin

was rigged to explode.

The goal was simple.

Leave behind an ignition device

for the police to discover.

He wanted us to find it?

What was his end goal?

He wanted to protect

the real culprit.

[all gasp]

Someone else?

No, I did--

You're only guilty of placing

a b*mb in the coffin.

After the death

of Kuramoto Aoi,

you discovered

the culprit's real plan

and wanted to create

an alibi for them.

If that's true,

then burning Ikari's corpse

was to cover for someone else?

[TAKAO] The source of ignition

in that incident was obvious.

The b*mb could have

only been set

sometime between the coffin

being sent to the funeral home

and the start of the wake.

Meaning an attendee

had to have planted it.

The actual culprit would go

on to use the white phosphorus

to k*ll Murota,

while he used the timer

to turn our suspicion

away from them.

Worst-case scenario,

he planned to turn himself in

and take the fall

for everything.

Now, I see.

All right, who's really

behind this, then?

Someone Kagaya would sacrifice

everything to protect.

[TAKAO] A person

he would take the blame for

at his own expense.

But more importantly,

someone who could have

switched out the matches

and mixed white phosphorus

into the victim's food.

An individual close to Murota

who was able to open the safe.

The only person

who meets all the criteria

♪

would be you.

Ah?

[TAKAO]

Haruka Murota.

AMEKU M.D.: DOCTOR

DETECTIVE

[gasps]

Haruka did it?

Why?

She has nothing

to do with this!

[KAGAYA]

What reason would she have

to k*ll her own father?

[TAKAO]

Oh, she had a motive.

Ah?

All the times she and her

mother were hospitalized.

You sure?

Based on what we uncovered,

they were only hospitalized

for a few broken bones

and bruises

at various general hospitals.

[TAKAO]

"Various" is the key word here.

If it's for a similar injury,

patients usually don't switch

between hospitals.

Only a certain type goes

to a different one

every time they get injured.

So, they were

Victims of domestic abuse.

[TAKAO] Because the violence

is within the family,

victims often fear

the looks from others

and avoid using

the same hospital.

Didn't Murota say his wife

passed away recently?

[YU]

Yes, that's right.

That's why Haruka

came back home.

To take care

of her aging father.

[TAKAO]

It sounds like a sweet story,

but it takes on a different hue

when we consider

the history of domestic abuse.

When you look at the X-rays for

both Murota's wife and Haruka,

you'll find numerous

terrible bone fractures.

- Are you saying that--

- [TAKAO] Yes.

Haruka believed Murota

took her mother's life.

And she came back

to get her revenge.

[TAKAO] He may have been

getting on in years,

but he was still an adult male.

Years of violence

made you avoid confrontation.

There were only

so many tactics you could use.

So, you switched his matches

in hopes of causing a fire,

but they didn't ignite

as easily as you'd hoped.

To your surprise,

Murota and Ikari

started getting sick.

Aoi Kuramoto burned to death,

and Ikari's coffin

burst into flames.

You had no idea

what was going on.

It must have been

very confusing.

On top of that,

Murota didn't die.

Feeling cornered,

you decided to risk

putting the white phosphorus

directly into his food.

As a result, your father

was heavily poisoned,

and flames enveloped him

when the matches

in his chest pocket ignited.

There were many coincidences,

each overlapping.

That's what made this case

look so overly complex,

but in reality, you just

switched out Murota's matches

and poisoned him.

Well, how about it?

Did the events play out exactly

how Dr. Ameku just described?

- [HARUKA] The doctor is--

- Quiet, Haruka!

[KAGAYA]

Don't say anything!

[Naruse sighs]

It's okay.

I'll protect you.

Uh?

But

your mother wanted

things to end?

Huh?

able to leave this house?

How do you think

you escaped your father?

It was your mother!

She did everything

she could to protect you!

If you die like this,

her efforts will be wasted.

Are you okay with that?

Of course not, but

senseless violence.

Don't let it win in the end.

Pay for your crimes

and live on.

But even though I couldn't

I am relieved

you're still alive.

what sentences

both of them will receive.

I'm not sure about Kagaya,

but Haruka will probably

be behind bars a long time.

There may be

some room for leniency,

but she also involved

Aoi Kuramoto.

[TAKAO] She'll have freedom

after she pays for her crimes.

If she chooses life.

Well said.

You were real cool back there,

convincing Haruka to survive.
