I recalled our wedding day.
Both my husband and I were young,
everyone around us gave us their blessings,
"I hope that you'll share a long and happy life together."
Even if they tell you that,
you wonder how long you're going to be really happy.
Not everyone can obtain happiness.
Right?
Only a handful of people
can really become happy.
Right?
Ferris wheels are mysterious vehicles.
From today, this is our town.
It's a really great town, this place.
Let's get along well, okay, Endou-san?
Mom.
I failed.
No!!!
Junko-san! No!!!
The victim Takahashi Hiroyuki has just passed away.
So it has just turned into a murder case.
Caught him off-guard.
Someone he knew.
Probably someone very close.
ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT JANUARY 22, 2013
Was he a good father?
It's painful, isn't it?
You were staying at a friend's house, right?
Yes.
Then, the people who were at your house were your Dad, your Mom and..?
And.. Shinji.. my younger brother..
Yes.
My older brother is attending Kyoto University..
Yoshiyuki-kun, right?
Is there someone else we should get in contact with?
Any other relatives?
An aunt..
She lives in Urahama.
About what time did you last see Shinji-kun?
Shinji..
Where is he now?
I wonder where he is..
Do you have any idea where he might be going?
Why did..
Why did my father die?
He was struck hard from behind.
The inside of the house wasn't ransacked.
There's no evidence that your father struggled with anyone either...
What are you talking about? There's no evidence that your father struggled with anyone either...
What are you talking about?
It's not a simple burglary.
It must've been someone he knew.
Are you saying that Shinji did it?
I can't draw any conclusions just yet. Are you saying that Shinji did it?
I can't draw any conclusions just yet.
That's why I'd like to meet Shinji as soon as possible..
I want to hear what he has to say.
You're still looking at them?
Not tired of it? You're still looking at them?
Not tired of it?
Who was the father struck by?
You don't think it's the mother? If it were her, then..
You're not worried? You don't think it's the mother? If it were her, then..
You're not worried?
What? Why would I? You're not worried?
What? Why would I?
The Takahashis have been so nice to us, why..
You are the one who's friends with them..
There's no reason for an incident like this to be happening to such a happy family.
If an incident were to happen..
That's...
supposed to be to our family.

The uniform suits you well, little brother.
I'm so nervous.
It's gonna be fine!
Well done, Shinji!
Good morning!
Perfect weather for the entrance ceremony, isn't it? Good morning!
Perfect weather for the entrance ceremony, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm glad we have nice weather. Perfect weather for the entrance ceremony, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm glad we have nice weather.
Shinji-kun, congratulations on your admission! Great, isn't it?
Yeah. Shinji-kun, congratulations on your admission! Great, isn't it?
Yeah.
You look all grown-up when you wear that uniform.
Ayaka-chan also looks like she's turned into a big girl.
Let's have dinner together again? All of us, to celebrate school admission.
Yeah, let's do it.
Call me later.
Let's go.
Well, then.. Let's go.
Well, then..
As I thought, it would've been really nice to wear that uniform.
But you know, I'm looking forward to school! I'll be together with Shiho and the others!
That's right. Let's do our best, okay?
Yes! That's right. Let's do our best, okay?
Yes!
Are you okay?
Good morning!
Have a good day! Have a good day!
I'm so glad for Shinji-kun!
Yoshiyuki-kun also passed the exam to Kyoto University's Medical Department at first try.
All siblings are excellent~
However, Endou-san's daughter is..
That uniform.. I've never seen it around here.
Urahama Middle School.. from the bottom of the hill.. it's a public school.
Bottom of the hill?
She failed the exam of Seishuu.
As she failed the private one.. going to a public one, hmm.. She failed the exam of Seishuu.
As she failed the private one.. going to a public one, hmm..
CONGRATULATIONS - HEISEI YEAR 22 URAHAMA MIDDLE SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY
Ayaka!
The uniform looks great on you!
I'm so glad! Three more years together!
Even though your mother was talking about us going to different schools,
I'm so glad we're together!
I'm glad you failed the private school!
Yeah.
From now, the entrance ceremony of Urahama Junior High School, Heisei Year 22 will begin.
Ok, see you! Bye bye! From now, the entrance ceremony of Urahama Junior High School, Heisei Year 22 will begin.
Freshmen, please enter!
Ah, Maa-kun?
Has Rina-san looked at the kitchen designs?
Please, make a decision already. When you and Rina-san come home,
I want everything to be ready.
Why are you hesitating? From now on, we'll live together forever.
Ah, I have a guest. I'll call you again later.
Please, tell Rina-san properly.
Great, isn't it? A two-generation home.
It's not a big deal. Great, isn't it? A two-generation home.
It's not a big deal.
It's just a matter of building one more kitchen.
More importantly, it's great that it's been decided.
Kazu-kun's bride.
Thank you. Kazu-kun's bride.
Thank you.
I'm looking forward to the announcement!
Ah, about the announcement party, Kojima-san.
After all, it'd be best to invite everyone in Hibarigaoka, right?
But I can't not invite only that person..
That person? But I can't not invite only that person..
That person?
Yes, that person. That person?
Yes, that person.
That family, I mean, they've come from a different background...
I think it's better to invite them.
As they're residents of Hibarigaoka, just like us.
Shall I invite them?
Please do~ Shall I invite them?
Please do~
I somehow find it difficult to talk to her.. Please do~
I somehow find it difficult to talk to her..
It's difficult to speak to her, she's trying too hard. I somehow find it difficult to talk to her..
It's difficult to speak to her, she's trying too hard.
Maybe they haven't noticed that they're acting unreasonably? It's difficult to speak to her, she's trying too hard.
Maybe they haven't noticed that they're acting unreasonably?
Mesmerized by this city, they just came here.
They conceded things and built a small house, without any consideration.
But just because you've built a house,
doesn't mean you have become Hibarigaoka's residents.
They don't understand it yet.
But soon they will.
Thank you for your help!
No, it's OK.
Come in! No, it's OK.
Come in!
It's great~ such a calming colour, isn't it?
It's suitable for a study room. Will Shinji-kun get this room now?
Yes. It's quite an emotional thing.
Our eldest son has left our house and is living in a dormitory.
I'm envious, all your children are so excellent~
It's too bad, Ayaka-chan.
Nah~ It's too bad, Ayaka-chan.
Nah~
She doesn't seem to care much about it herself.
Well, my wife is a bit down though.
Junko's also worried about Mayumi-san.
As neighbours across each other they shouldn't have to be hesitant towards each other.
We ran out of Aminol so I'll go and get some.
Yes, please. We ran out of Aminol so I'll go and get some.
Yes, please.
But it's a great house~
Redecorating the house frequently like this as the family grows,
this house will last for many years.
After redecorating, that's the first time you feel like it becomes your own house, you can say.
I see. Is it a policy of your company?
No, it's my policy. I see. Is it a policy of your company?
No, it's my policy.
The company's making an uproar about costs and downsizing.
I want to be independent like Takahashi-san too~
That's a great idea, being independent.
As Endou-san's got excellent skills.
Actually, I don't have the start-up capital, so..
How about I give you a loan then?
For now, would 10 million be enough?
10 million!? For now, would 10 million be enough?
10 million!?
I'm sorry I made a weird sound. You shocked me.
No, no, if I borrowed that much money, my wife would be mad at me.
You can give it back whenever you can.
We shouldn't be hesitating as we're neighbours, you said that right.
Well..
How are you doing this fine day, Endou-san?
May I speak to you for a moment?
Yes.
A wedding party?
It's a party where the bride is introduced to everyone in the neighbourhood.
It's more comfortable than greeting everyone door to door, right?
In Hibarigaoka,
it's something every household does.
Ah.
Is that so?
I'd also like to help in any way I can.
It's next month's 31st.
In the afternoon.
All right.
Be there, okay?
Ah, Kojima-san.
Yes?
Well..
What kind of congratulatory present should I..
They have a preference for something else.. What kind of congratulatory present should I..
They have a preference for something else..
It's money, isn't it?
Ah, you don't know, do you? It's money, isn't it?
Ah, you don't know, do you?
In Hibarigaoka, the present is set at the same amount.
Because if it's not decided, then there's just no limit.
Will 10,000 yen be enough?
What!?
What? What!?
What?
It's to congratulate!
The wedding.
Is it 100,000 yen?
Please, remember. Is it 100,000 yen?
Please, remember.
It seems that Tsukioka-san's son will also get married in Autumn.
Um..
What kind of clothes is everyone going to be wearing?
You don't have to dress fancy.
But.. You don't have to dress fancy.
But..
As it's just a neighbourhood gathering. But..
As it's just a neighbourhood gathering.
Oh, and Endou-san.
You dry your clothes outside the house, right?
I'm sorry?
The laundry.
You're drying them at a place which can be seen from afar.
In Hibarigaoka, your house is the only one doing that. Have you noticed?
Only ours?
It's fine with me. I don't mind.
But you know..
There are people who care about beauty of this town.
Yes.
I'm sorry.. for being intrusive.
No, it's fine.
Then, please excuse me. No, it's fine.
Then, please excuse me.
100,000 yen?
Are they idiots?
Yeah, but that is the rule in Hibarigaoka.
I don't care if you go or not but..
I can't give you 100,000 yen.
I'll pay it from my savings.
It's not easy~
What?
Many things.
It's all right.
We'll work it out.
If Ayaka had got into the private school, we wouldn't have had any leeway at all, huh.
She said school was fun.
She's doing well with Shiho-chan and the others. Also working hard at her club activities.
Well, if Ayaka's having fun, then all is fine, eh.
I'm glad she's going to the public one.
It's within our means.
We shouldn't have rushed building the house.
I should have thought of going independent seriously at least once.
What do you mean seriously?
What do you mean?
Are you thinking about quitting the company?
No, I'm not quitting. I just tried saying it. Are you thinking about quitting the company?
No, I'm not quitting. I just tried saying it.
Don't startle me!! We still have the remaining loan.
That is why, I just tried saying it, like I said. Don't startle me!! We still have the remaining loan.
That is why, I just tried saying it, like I said.
Hey..
Are you not happy about it?
That we've built a house.
Hmm?
If it's just you and me, I wouldn't mind living anywhere.
Thinking about Ayaka and the environment where we raise her, that's why we built a house here, right?
You keep saying Ayaka, Ayaka.
But while we were building the house, the proudest one was you, right?
You bought new clothes again, right?
Yeah, but..
What will we do if you keep buying clothes?
Building a house, changing your clothes..
but the people in it don't change..
You think so...?
Yeah, well, it's okay.
I'm going to bed.

This walllpaper is so cute!
Which one do you like Mom?
Don't get white, it tires your eyes.
Hey, Ayaka. Do you want to try to take junior high school entrance examination?
From Hibarigaoka, you can go on foot to Seishuu Acamedy, I've heard.
What? No way, no way.
I would love to see Ayaka wear that uniform~ What? No way, no way.
I would love to see Ayaka wear that uniform~
Endou-sama, please confirm it.
Withdrawal - 100,000 yen
In autumn, Tsukioka-san, right?
Once you've decided on the date, please let us know.

You've made a great decision~
Your dress is lovely, Endou-san.
Um.. I heard I didn't have to dress so fancy..
Oh! Because I said so?
Is it my fault?
Ah, no, I'm sorry. Is it my fault?
Ah, no, I'm sorry.
Kojima-san!
Help yourself to some food, Takahashi-san. Kojima-san!
Help yourself to some food, Takahashi-san.
It's delicious. The work of a chef I recommended.
Then, everyone, let's partake.
Endou-san, do you know the table manners?
We use the knives and forks starting from the outside.
So refined~ Delicious~
Mayumi-san!
It was embarrassing, right?
I failed.
I meant to get used to Hibarigaoka, but I still have a long way to go, right?
If you don't ask properly about what you don't understand, then..
I'm so sorry. I should have told you.
Why are you the one apologizing?
I'm.. always like this.
I'm too embarrassed to be asking about such things, I'm worried you'll laugh at me.
It's rather embarrassing.
About the exam too.
I should've asked Junko-san more about it.
I..
I think too lightly of things.
I ended up hurting Ayaka...
There are children who got in but still got hurt.
What?
Will you hear me out?
Last month, he had his first exam.
Shinji's grade.. it was really bad.
He felt really down. It was unusual of him.
It was just his first exam.
He has three more years.
In that school, if a student's grades aren't that good, they call the parents up..
"He could take it more easily in other schools.."
They'd recommend changing schools.
Even though it's only junior high school?
What would happen if we did that? I keep thinking about such things.
Well, there are many things to worry about.
Shinji-kun's in a basketball club, right?
Yes. It seems he'll be in the next match.
He's good at sports, right?
It's great he has something he's good at.
If I had a son, I'd want a son like Shinji-kun~
He's gonna be fine, Shinji-kun is.
Believe in him.
Thank you.

Working, but where?
A part-time job at the supermarket.
In the morning, I can leave home after I clean up and do the laundry.
And I can come home in time to prepare dinner.
So, won't it be good?
Yeah, well, it's good..
Ayaka, what do you think? Are you against it?
If we hadn't built this house, you wouldn't have to work part-time, right?
Mortgage on the house, it's tough?

It's about time we wake the wife up. It's morning already. DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 23, 2013
It's about time we wake the wife up. It's morning already.
She went delirious yesterday..
She couldn't properly respond.
It seems we can only hear about what happened from the wife.
A call came from the station.
What did they say?

There's a chance that he was in the house, right?
Yes, there is.
Maybe that's why he is missing.
Am I wrong?
Amazing, even the TV is here. Got a feeling this is not something simple.
Ayaka.
Don't be so excited.
I'll go take a picture.
Stop it! What are you thinking!?
But you're the one who's so curious you can't help it anymore.
Mama..
Hinako..
Where's Shinji?
When did Shinji disappear?
He was at home..
with you Mama, right?
All's my fault.
It's all my fault.
Forgive me..

Doesn't he look like Takaki Shunsuke?
He does! He really does!
No~
Ayaka!
Did you see?
Yes.
Takahashi. Yes.
You know him? What's his name? His email address?
Huh? You know him? What's his name? His email address?
Huh?
I don't know.
But he's just said "Ayaka". I don't know.
But he's just said "Ayaka".
He did. Totally did.
But it's not like we're acquaintances or the like, really.
Ayaka?
Why are you avoiding me?
I'm not.
No, but just before, you also ignored me a little.
I did not.
Uh, a friend of mine
said she wanted to know your email address.
She said you were cool today.
So she wanted to get your email address.
What's yours?
Huh?
Your email address.
Ah.. huh?
Ah.. what?
Give it to me.
This, right?
So this is Shinji-kun's house?
Good evening.
You've come to see Ayaka, haven't you? Come in.
This is Ayaka-chan's home?
Yes. Even though we have a house now, she hasn't invited anyone to come over yet.
Come on in.
We'll come another time.
Oh?
Goodbye. Oh?
Goodbye.
Ayaka, are you home?
Hmm?
Shiho-chan and the others were here. I talked to them but they just left.
What?
First mail. ^^ Subject: Test. From: Shinji-kun.
Ayaka!
Er.. Shiho, about yesterday..
Number 12 guy. Er.. Shiho, about yesterday..
Number 12 guy.
His name's Takahashi Shinji-kun, right?
Why did you act like you didn't know him?
He lives in the house across yours. Of course you know him.
When we asked around Seishuu about the house of the player number 12.
They told us it was across the smallest house in Hibarigaoka.. so we could find it pretty easily.
It was really small!
Didn't think it would be Ayaka-chan's. It was really small!
Didn't think it would be Ayaka-chan's.
Ayaka.
Do you like Shinji-kun?
I don't.
I'm glad. It seems Shinji-kun doesn't have a girlfriend.
If we went out together, I could brag about it~
He looks like a famous person and he's rich.
Ayaka!
You'll help me, right?
Yeah.
Thank you! Ayaka is a good girl! Yeah.
Thank you! Ayaka is a good girl!
Good job today!

My daughter decided to take an exam to a private school for vapid reasons, like the uniform was cute and whatnot.
Not gonna get in anyway I thought, but she actually passed and it has been tough.
The tuition fee is expensive, there's also the bus fare and the school trip is to Australia.
It's that difficult?
No matter how much I work, it all goes to cover her education expenses.
What about you, Endou-san? It goes for your own spending?
We have a mortgage on our house.
You've got your own house? Like in a dream~
I heard from the store manager.. Endou-san, you live in Hibarigaoka, right?
Hibarigaoka? Really? Endou-san!
It's an ordinary residential area.
No, it's not true, right? Tanaka-san.
It's a high-class area, right?
It's amazing, isn't it? I'm going to go now.
Good work today!
Mom, the other day, what did you say to Shiho and the others?
I just told them to come in.
And? You didn't say anything unnecessary after that?
What do you mean by "unnecessary"?
I'm home~ What do you mean by "unnecessary"?
I'm home~
Ah, welcome home~
Hey hey, next Sunday, do you want to go fishing with the Takahashis?
Why? So suddenly..
I accidentally ran into Takahashi-san and again got excited over fishing. Why? So suddenly..

It's good, right?
Yeah.
I have club activities then. Yeah.
I have club activities then.
Take one day off~ Shinji-kun and the others are coming too~
Let's go, Ayaka!
You restrained yourself until the exams were finished..
I did..
It was my fault..
I should've never taken the exam in the first place.
Right? Because you're going to public school,
you can take it easy until graduation.
But I was thinking of what's best for Ayaka...
Today, at work, someone told me "Your daughter, she's a good daughter, isn't she?".
After all, going to private school takes up a lot of money, it's difficult.
Because our Ayaka went to public school..
Ayaka's in.. it must be that.. rebellious phase..
Good morning!
Oh, Yoshiyuki-kun!
Long time no see! How have you been? Oh, Yoshiyuki-kun!
Long time no see! How have you been?
How's living alone?
Missing your home?
I'm relieved to be back, yeah.
Ah, where's Ayaka-chan?
She's got club activities.
Even though it'd be better if she relaxed a bit.
10 o'clock.. 2 o'clock.. don't bend your wrist..
Okay.
Ah, I see now.
How's it?
Ah, so cold!
This, where does its skin end?
Is it peeled?
It is, it's good enough already.
Dinner's ready.
Okay. Dinner's ready.
Okay.
Looks yummy~ Okay.
Looks yummy~
Ah! Is this your girlfriend?
Look, she's so cute!
Ah, really cute! Look, she's so cute!

Stop it, Hinako!
How long have you been going out? Are you thinking about marriage? Stop it, Hinako!
How long have you been going out? Are you thinking about marriage?
Right now I've got my hands full with school work. How long have you been going out? Are you thinking about marriage?

You're so annoying.
Everyone's so brilliant, it makes me jealous~ You're so annoying.

Shinji-kun, you're doing well at basketball too, right?
No, but I enjoy going to practice every day. Shinji-kun, you're doing well at basketball too, right?
No, but I enjoy going to practice every day.
Yoshiyuki. Don't make decisions in a rush. About your work or your companion.
Yeah. But I've already decided on what I want to do.
There are many people around me who say they want to go into research.
However, as for me, I'd like to work at the same place where father does.
I see. I'll be relieved if Yoshiyuki succeeds me in the hospital.
Wow! The next hospital director's just been decided!
Then, let's take a picture of all of us! Wow! The next hospital director's just been decided!
Then, let's take a picture of all of us!
Great. Then, let's take a picture of all of us!
Great.
Ok, then everyone, get a little closer. Great.
Ok, then everyone, get a little closer.
Say "cheese"!
Ah, about Shinji, no girlfriend yet?
I didn't think you'd get a girlfriend faster than him.
Shinji-kun's really popular, isn't he? I didn't think you'd get a girlfriend faster than him.
Shinji-kun's really popular, isn't he?
Shinji'is going to karaoke with the girl basketball club of Ayaka-chan's school tomorrow.
Mixer? Shinji'is going to karaoke with the girl basketball club of Ayaka-chan's school tomorrow.
Mixer?
Junior high school students going to mixer?
Shinji-kun!
Shinji!
Shinji! Shinji!
Shinji!
Junko-san!
Shinji! Shinji!
It's shallow!
Shinji!
I'm all right, Mom.
The current is not strong.
Mama, you're soaking wet!
Here you go.
Thank you.
Even though they're brothers, Yoshiyuki-kun and Shinji-kun feel different, huh.
Yoshiyuki doesn't look like me, right?
I'm not related to him by blood.
Yoshiyuki's mother was also a doctor,
but she passed away due to an illness early on.
I'm his second wife.
Ah, is that so?
I didn't notice at all.
Because Shinji and Hinako
rely on him like their real brother.
Yoshiyuki-kun is really put together and mature.
If I think about Yoshiyuki's good characteristics,
I think his first wife passed those down to him.
He is mature and also smart.
You see, I'm just an ordinary person.
So I always wonder if I pass down anything to Shinji.
You're not ordinary!
People like you are not.
Mama, the sunscreen, please!
How about I give you a loan then?
For now, would 10 million be enough?
Takahashi-san!
Yes.
Er..
what we talked about the other day..
I'm seriously thinking about starting my own business.
Would you be willing to help me?
I'd be happy to!
I see, I'm glad.
Should I wear something sexy rather than cute? What do you think he prefers?
He's a spoiled privileged kid, wouldn't he like princess-y style?
Shiho!
Are you going somewhere? Can I..
Bye-bye! Are you going somewhere? Can I..
Bye-bye!
Ayaka, are you home? We'll get home after 7..
so if you're hungry, eat, there's food in the fridge.
Fishing was fun! But would've been better if you had come.
Tomorrow, there's a mixer with Shinji-kun and the others, right?
What? What mixer?
Your basketball club members are organizing a mixer, right?
You don't have to hide such things from us.
We won't tease you or anything.
Shinji-kun said it'd be his first mixer, so Ayaka too..
Was it Ayaka-chan just now?
Yes.
You've bought her a mobile, right? Yes.
You've bought her a mobile, right?
Yes.
Then, please send this to her.
She asked me to send it to her before.
Am I being ostracized?
Bye-bye!
Why?
From: Mom. "Hinako-chan sent this to you."
All right, here I go, smile!
Say Cheese!
Do your best, so you can wear this uniform!
So you can wear this uniform! Do your best, so you can wear this uniform!
So you can wear this uniform!
I'm home.
Ayaka?
Where's Ayaka?
Got married to a kind man,
had a child,
raised her to be an amenable child,
and built a house in Hibarigaoka.
My life's going well beyond my imagination.
It is... supposed to be going well.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION ROOM
DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 23, 2013
May I have a word?
Aunt Akiko! Hinako-chan!
I'm sorry for coming late.
You must've felt really lonely.
I'm sorry for bothering you at such an early hour. You must be busy.
I'm Yuuki from the Sakatome Police Station.
I have some questions I'd like to ask you about Takahashi-san from the house across.
Is he all right? I've been worried since last evening.
He passed away last night.
What?
He died?
Yes. It seems somebody struck him hard in the head from behind.
Have you seen Takahashi Shinji-kun this morning?
Isn't he together with his family?
He's missing.
Mama.
Aunt Akiko has come.
Mama?
Can I ask you a few things about last night?
I..
I might have seen who killed him...
