Bubble 2: Idiot, that's easy! At least we know what school they're from.

Bubble 3: What? How?

File92. Chasing the Sneak Photography Offenders

Slicked Back: [Sorry I don't know... >< It's something about 'don't tell me you.. respond/induce... youth?' Maybe it's 'Don't tell me... you can induce young people?' Especially since sB is totally doing some creepy spark stuff with his hands.]

sfx SB: Will fill in once I receive furigana :]

FG: Is that even possible?... Didn't they take out their wallets when they paid us? [K: there's something about travel tickets too]

\

FG: So inside...

Tamaki: Whoo...
Tamaki: so I ended up just going home yesterday.

\

Taketora: Oh! Good morning, Ayukawa-san!

\

\

Tamaki: Shibata? Don't tell me you didn't go home!?

Taketora: I did,
just for 2 hours.

Tamaki: 2... 2 hours?

\

Taketora: Yeah, I noticed something,
Taketora: so I came back.

\

Tamaki: Oh...
what was it?
Taketora: I just found something recognisable.

\

Taketora: Look, in this photo... look!

------

(page03)

Taketora: Through the window, you can see something that looks like a tower.
Tamaki: A tower?

\

Taketora: Ayukawa-san, you used to work in the traffic division, so do you have any impression of this place?
Taketora: Where you can see a tower that looks like this, and it's near a girl's school in Kouenji...

\

Tamaki: Girl's school?

\

Taketora: Yes, look at this photo.
sfx: tik tik
Taketora: Here they've taken a photo of the toilets in the corridor, but there's only a female toilet.

\

Tamaki: It's true...!
Tamaki: Well, I did study at a girl's school in the past, and only the teachers used the male toilets.

\

Tamaki: They had no sense of modesty because they were in a girl's school, huh...

girl: I'm so hot!
sfx skirt: shake shake?

sfx phone: snap

Tamaki: I can understand why they'd get photographed so easily.

------

(page04)

Taketora: Now we just have to find out where this white tower is...
Tamaki: Mm... is there a tower like this in Kouenji?

\

Tamaki: If there was one...
Tamaki: I think it would be a chimney from a hot spring or a garbage incinerating plant...

\

Taketora: Hot springs?

Taketora: That's it!

\

Taketora: How would be fine that...
Hmm...

\

Yuuji: Oh, that's easy!
Yuuji: I'll tell you how, try it with your computer.

------

(page05)

Yuuji: First open up a search engine and use "Kouenji" and "hot springs" as the search terms.

sfx: ?

Taketora: Mm.

Yuuji: After the search results appear, copy the addresses of the web sites in the first few pages,
and then from these search "girl's high school".

\

Taketora: Ah! Got it! There's only one!

Yuuji: Then it has to be that one, right?

\

Yuuji: Then use the address of that girl's school and start a map search.

sfx: tik tik

Yuuji: Now we can see photographs of certain areas.

\

Yuuji: As long as you rotate it, you can see the whole thing.

Taketora: Ah! Got it! It's this chimney... it's exactly the same as the photo!

\

Yuuji: Are you good?
Taketora: Thanks, Yuuji.

\

Yuuji: Wait, if the photo distributors were female high schoolers,
the EXIF data [K: not sure about proper technical term] may still be there.

Taketora: What's that?

------

(page06)

Yuuji: Now, as long as a photo is taken by a certain machine, the photo file will automatically record certain information such as the camera model and date taken,

Yuuji: and if the photos were simply copy-pasted, that information wouldn't have been deleted. Besides, you need special software to delete it,
and female high schoolers probably wouldn't work to such a high standard.

Taketora: Possibly.

\

Yuuji: First move your mouse pointer to the picture and right click, [K: LOL THIS CASE IS SO TECHNICAL]

Taketora: It really came up...

\

Yuuji: There should be the maker as well as the model of the camera right?
Taketora: Mm... yes.
Yuuji: That's the model of the phone.

\

Taketora: You really helped me out a lot!
Taketora: Once I know the phone model, I can filter out even more factors! Thank you!

\

Yuuji: If you have any questions just ask me,
Yuuji: bye for now.

\

sfx: ?

(page07)

Katou: Was that Shibata on the phone?
Yuuji: Yeah.

\

Katou: You were helping him with a case, right?

\

Yuuji: It's nothing big,
Yuuji: he did help me out after all.

\

Katou: That's true, too. [K: MMMMM FOR THE LIFE OF ME I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE MEANS ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NEXT PANEL IS YUUJI GOING ALL O.O "......"]

Shinjo: Woah...

\

sfx: pitter patter

\

Shinjo: What's up with you?
Taketora: Sorry, we're just about to go out.
Shinjo: Ah? To where?

\

Taketora: To the possible school of the female sneak photographers!

\

Shinjo: ...What?

\

\

Tamaki: There's no mistake!
Tamaki: Even though the uniforms weren't photographed especially clearly...

------

(page09)

Tamaki: But I think after seeing the skirts... that the probability of it being this school is very high.

\

Taketora: Good! We'll request help from the principal regarding this case.

\

Taketora: Eh?
Tamaki: What is it?

\

Taketora: Those are the two girls at the station last time that were...
Taketora: sneak photographed under the skirt.

\

Taketora: Hey! You two...!

\

Ruka: Ah! It's the policeman from last time!
sfx: ?

\

Taketora: What timing,
Taketora: actually...

(page10-11)

DUN DUN DUN HANDS OF DEATH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

(page12)

Yurie: We're going to be late, we have to hurry.
Yurie: Come on, Ruka!
Taketora: Ah!

\

Taketora: Hey... please wait!

\

Policeman: Hey, kid!
If you want to look for your sister, you'll need to register at the counter!

Taketora: Wha... no, I'm...

\

Tamaki: What's wrong, Shibata?

\

Taketora: No... nothing.

\

Taketora: They couldn't be...

Bubble 2: We reaped a lot today too!

\

Bubble 1: Bye!
Bubble 2: Oh, crap! We have a face shot here!

Bubble 3: Oh yeah! It looks like Mukui! What should we do?
Well, we can't see who it is at one glance anyway...

\

Yurie: Yeah...

\

Yurie: Who cares? Just sell it!
I hate Mukui anyway!

Ruka: Me too!

\

Ruka: She acts like she's such a celebrity,
Ruka: just because she models for "Glitter*Devil" [K: magazine name needs rewriting]!
small text: And she even has buck teeth... [K: not sure about this]

(page14)

BUbble: Ah! What's this... safety shorts! Deleting~
sfx: click click

\

Taketora: Hi!

\

Taketora: I need to talk to you guys about something...
are you free?
yurie: Ah.

\

Ruka: Eh... Uh...
Ruka: Sure!

\

SB: Hmm... they followed that kid.
A boyfriend of one of them?

FGL What? But he looks like a middle schooler, doesn't he?

\

FG: Who cares who he is...
FG: It's nothing to do with us anyway!

------

(page15)

Yurie/Ruka: Can we ask what this is about? We have to go to tuition classes!

Taketora: I apologise, I'll keep it short.

\

Taketora: Actually, in that man we arrested last time's memory card...
Taketora: we found some other sneak photos that were distributed.

\

Taketora: And they appear to have been taken in your school.
sfx: ?
Ruka: Oh...

\

Taketora: Have you heard anything about it?
For example, like news about someone being sneak photographed?

\

Yurie: We... We... haven't heard anything... right, Ruka?

\

Ruka: Yeah, nothing.

\

Taketora: Really...?
Do you know anyone who carries a phone with a high-resolution camera?

sfx: ?
Bubble: What?

------

(page16)

Yurie: Many people have those phones, don't they!
Ruka: Yes, our school is a private school, so there are lots of rich bitches... [K: ok don't use rich bitch it's a term coined by me and i don't think Ruka would really use that to a policeman but you know loaded people]

\

Taketora: I see...
So... if you hear anything, can I ask you to please contact me?

\

Taketora: I'll use infra-red to send the number to you.

\

\

Girls: Ah... we already have it.

\

Taketora: And here is my email address and mobile phone number. [K: SUCH MANICURED NAILS]

sfx: slip

Girls: Oh...

\

Taketora: No matter what, I hope...
to stop these sneak photography acts from continuing.

------

(page17)

Taketora: I believe that the people who did this probably didn't think about it that much, and maybe thought all this was fun.
Taketora: Or maybe they just wanted to earn a little pocket money. But it isn't that simple.

\

Taketora: Because in certain pictures you can see the photographed girls' faces,

\

Taketora: and if those pictures were to be distributed onto the Internet. [K: or on..]

Taketora: I think the affected would be extremely hurt.

\

Taketora: Besides, if the culprits are students at this school,

\

Taketora: I would also worry for them.

------

(page18)

Taketora: If they got comfortable with committing such crimes...
Taketora: there could hence be some deviation from their path in life.

\

Taketora: If you find something out please inform me at once.

\

Yurie: I... I understand,
let's go, Ruka.

sfx: ?

Ruka: mm... Yeah.

\

sfx: ?
Taketora: It's definitely them.

\

Taketora: And the phone models they had in their hands just now...
Taketora: were the same as the ones shown in the data from the sneak photos.

\

Taketora: I have to stop them...
Taketora: No matter what...

------

(page19)

Taketora: I have to do it now, when I can still see the "Hands of Death"...
Taketora: and when they haven't been pulled into the world of death!

\

\

Ruka: I've decided! I'm not doing it any more!

\

Ruka: I... sort of understand what he's saying.
Ruka: I won't take sneak pictures any more!

\

Yurie: True...
Yurie: Yeah...

------

(page20)

Yurie: Doing that isn't too good...
