Bloody Monday 27

Chapter 27

71

Kirishima: Investigator Houshou Sayuri is to be brought in under suspicions of being a part of a terrorist plot.

Kirishima: Six armed investigators are heading to the site by helicopter.
Kirishima: For the sake of sharing information, everyone will be communicating using multichannel.

Kirishima: Invesigator Kanou is holding her at the place Orihara Maya led them to.
Kirishima: Don't let your guard down...If we let them get away, we'll have to start the investigation anew.
Title: File 27 and she said

72

Kirishima: Kanou-san, what's the situation?

Kanou: We're in the middle of capturing her.

Kanou: No sign of her comrades.

Kanou: ...Hey..Kirishima.
Kanou: Are you...sure about this?

Kirishima: I don't have any details yet...
Kirishima: But to be honest...
Kirishima: I was at the point of of suspecting you.

Kanou: Ah!?
Kirishima: Sorry.

73

Kirishima: For now, let's trust Fujimaru-kun.
Kirishima: The vice chief's son wouldn't invite this kind of chaos without good reason.

Text on cell phone: I'm fairly certain I know the identity of the traitor. The truth is, I wanted a little more time to confirm it, but we're running out of time. I'll write it here. The spy is Kanou. I need your assistance.
[TN: And, of course, the first line reads "Houshou is an enemy."]
Kirishima: ...No.
Kirishima: That's just what I'd like to believe.

Kanou: Damn it...
Kanou: Okay...

Man: This is...
Man: the outside broadcasting van...

74

Mikhail: "J".
Mikhail: "Third-i" has started to move.
J: OK
J: How's our pursuit team?

Mikhail: They're heading for the site.
Mikhail: They'll be there...
Mikhail: in about 7 minutes...

J: Tell them to hurry.
J: Can we transmit to Maya's Morse code receiver?
Mikhail: She's within the relay area, so I'll connect you.

J: "J" to Maya...
J: Our goal is to rescue you...
J: and capture Falcon.

75

J: Now...
J: You need to do your best...
J: to meet my expectations.

Kanou: Reinforcements will be here soon.
Kanou: We'll have plenty of time to listen to your excuses once we get back, Sayuri-chan.

76

Maya: Oh, my...internal trouble?
Maya: What's going to happen to my plea bargain?
Fujimaru: It's been shut down, Orihara-sensei.
Fujimaru: But it was just a lie used so you could escape, wasn't it!?

Kanou: Well...Fujimaru-kun, you certainly took drastic measures.
Kanou: What were you going to do if Kirishima hadn't contacted me?
Text right of Kanou: I would have been shot.

Fujimaru: There's no way there wouldn't be communication between us and HQ.

Fujimaru: That's how it was with my dad...
Fujimaru: so I knew that the people out here would have those receivers.

77

Houshou: Wait...calm down!!
Houshou: Why!?
Kanou: Don't move, Sayuri-chan.
Houshou: Why are you saying that I'm a spy!?

Kanou: I'd like to hear the basis for that, too, Fujimaru-kun.
Kanou: You pointed a gun at a comrade.
Kanou: If you did that for no reason, I wouldn't be able to keep quiet about it.

Kanou: Even if you are...
Kanou: the vice chief's son.

Fujimaru: My basis for this...
Fujimaru: came from an out of place feeling I got from what you said, Kanou-san.
Kanou: ...What I said?

78

Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: Do you remember when I said something...
Fujimaru: about a virus and Houshou-san stopped me?

Kanou: Yeah...I didn't like how it felt like you were hiding something.
Kanou: Well...it's true that I don't know much about computers...

Fujimaru: That's it.
Kanou: Huh?

Fujimaru: I wasn't talking about a computer virus.
Fujimaru: I was referring to...
Fujimaru: a pathogen. An actual virus.

Kanou: An actual...
Kanou: virus!?
Kanou: Why are you talking about that all of a sudden?

79

Fujimaru: ...So you really didn't know....
Fujimaru: about the Russian genocide virus.

Fujimaru: If you did, you wouldn't have been able to say that so casually...
Fujimaru: when the guy pretending to be Doctor Tominaga's husband vomited blood and died...
Kanou: "Was it some kind of weird virus or something!?"
Kirishima: "It couldn't be..."
Fujimaru: If you saw something that made you think of that genocide virus right in front of you...
Fujimaru: you should have been shaken.

Fujimaru: For you to mistake me saying "virus" for a computer virus is strange for the same reason.
Fujimaru: And it isn't just you, Kanou-san...
Fujimaru: No one at "Third-i" knew about the existence of the genocide virus that brought so much blood to that Siberian railroad.
Fujimaru: Even though it's at the heart of the case that "Third-i" is after right now...

80

Kanou: A genocide...
Kanou: virus!?
Kanou: Hey, now...I never heard anthing about that!

Fujimaru: See...that's why!!
Houshou: Wait, Fujimaru-kun!!
Houshou: It's not odd that Kanou-san doesn't know about that!!

Houshou: It couldn't be helped!!
Houshou: Since there was a chance that there was a spy in "Third-i"...
Houshou: the higher ups' plan was to keep the spread of information to an absolute minimum!!

Fujimaru: So, are you trying to say that you're the only site invesigator that knows about the virus?
Houshou: Isn't that possible!?

Kanou: No, it isn't.

Kanou: If it was some other kind of weapon, maybe...
Kanou: But since this is a pathogen...
Kanou: In order to prevent infection or spreading of the virus, we would have been given maximum priority orders...
Kanou: to take extreme caution.

81

Fujimaru: That's...right.
Fujimaru: It's dangerous to fight an enemy who has a virus, and you're saying that...
Fujimaru: your superiors didn't tell the site investigators about the virus...?
Fujimaru: How are we supposed to believe that!?

Houshou: I know it's hard to believe...
Houshou: but it's the truth!!
Fujimaru: Liar!!

Fujimaru: I only spoke of the virus with you, Houshou-san.
Fujimaru: And you didn't tell "Third-i"...
Fujimaru: That can only mean that you're trying to hide that information!!

Houshou: No...!!
Houshou: That's not it...that's not it.
Houshou: I can't tell you...

Houshou: the reason...
Houshou: right now...
Houshou: But I'm not a spy!!

82

Fujimaru: Houshou-san.
Fujimaru: When that foreigner shot you at Tominaga Clinic...
Fujimaru: It was...in the heart, right?

Houshou: That's right!
Houshou: He tried to kill me!!
Houshou: Doesn't that prove my innocence more than anything!?

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: you're alive.
Houshou: That's because I happened to be wearing a bulletproof vest.

Fujimaru: It's odd.

Fujimaru: He didn't bother to check if his opponent was dead and just left...
Fujimaru: He didn't strike me as the kind of amateur who would do that.
Fujimaru: And...
Fujimaru: The policemen he killed were definitely shot in the head.

83

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: you alone were shot in the heart.

Fujimaru: There was a good chance that a "Third-i" investigator would be wearing a bulletproof vest...
Fujimaru: So why?
Houshou: That's...
Houshou: But killing me wasn't his objective...

Fujimaru: That's not a reason for him to not kill you.
Fujimaru: He liked to kill.
Fujimaru: On that day, he'd already killed his enemy.

Fujimaru: He had no reason to hesitate...
Fujimaru: or to keep you alive.
Fujimaru: ...Houshou-san.

Houshou: Even...if you...say that...

84

Fujimaru: Then what about Doctor Tominaga's husband?
Fujimaru: When they switched him for the fake...
Fujimaru: It would have been easy if you were a spy.

Fujimaru: When the real one got back, you...

Houshou: Have you met Takagi Fujimaru?
Husband: N...
Husband: No...!!

Houshou: Is that so?
Houshou: Good.

85

Houshou: Deal with everthing he has on him, hide the body, and switch out with him.
Houshou: ...Okay?

Fujimaru: At that time...
Fujimaru: You even called me to see if...
Fujimaru: I knew Tominaga-san, didn't you?

86

Fujimaru: You let a comrade get in...
Fujimaru: so that Haruka could be abducted again, didn't you!?
Fujimaru: Even though when she thought you'd died...
Fujimaru: Haruka was truly worried about you...!!

Houshou: Fujimaru-ku-
Fujimaru: Just admit it already!!

Fujimaru: You're the spy!!
Fujimaru: It all fits...
Fujimaru: The fake Tominaga, you not being killed...
Fujimaru: and even them knowing all of our movements!!

Houshou: No!! Please believe me, Fujimaru-kun!!
Fujimaru: Then why didn't Kanou-san know about the virus!?

Houshou: What if he...
Houshou: actually does know about it?

87

Houshou: Think carefully...
Houshou: The out of place feeling you got from what Kanou-san said...
Houshou: Isn't there another explanation for it?

Houshou: When the virus is used as a weapon...
Houshou: There has to be a "user" who has already taken the vaccine.
Houshou: If it's already been in his blood, of course he won't be afraid of infection.

Houshou: So instead of a virus that can't infect him...
Houshou: he'd be afraid of, and therefore think of, a computer virus made by Falcon, right?

Houshou: If he's...
Houshou: a terrorist...

88

Kanou: I see.
Kanou: So you're saying...
Kanou: That you're not the spy...

Kanou: I am?
Houshou: ...Am I wrong?

Kanou: Okay...
Kanou: We'll figure out who's right and who's wrong back at "Third-i".

89

Maya: Heh
Maya: Heh heh
Maya: Heh

Maya: Heh
Maya: Hee
Maya: Hee

Maya: Hee hee
Maya: Hee
Maya: Hee
Maya: Going this far into this farce doesn't befit you...

Maya: Does it, Houshou-san?

Houshou: What do you...mean...?

Maya: I'm saying you should go ahead and admit it.
Maya: You can get your penalty reduced with a plea bargain along with me...
Maya: Not bad, right?

90

Houshou: Don't say things like that!!
Houshou: She's tricking you!! It's a trap, Fujimaru-kun!!

Houshou: What...
Houshou: What are you trying to do, Orihara Maya!!?
