Majalengka Day 329 : Higashino Keigo Mysteries Part 3


.

and so we carry on

hang in there!

to the 6th story!


Full of charades

A girl had just finished packing her ex's things and wanted to return them, but she found out that her ex had been killed and his last message written with blood could lead to his killer. At first it looked like he wrote A.

Nagasawa Masami as Aoyama Yayoi, being caught by 2 detectives who kept emphasizing the A on her name

Because those detectives were stupid, Yayoi was released with some kind of a brain damage (lol, prolly she'd think that every detective is stupid because of them). And then she went to her ex's funeral the next day. What a luck, she met a handsome guy who introduced himself as the ex's friend.

Ando Masanobu as Bito Shigehisa, the mysterious and handsome guy

they talked a lot, and had lunch together. Because the guy was so attractive, Yayoi couldn't help falling for the guy. And then later she knew from the detectives that the guy wasn't Bito, because the real Bito was in America. Finally those detectives got to be useful. Playing detective, Yayoi found out that the mysterious guy was Akiyama Yuichi, the lawyer of a very sick old man. That sick old man happened to be Yayoi's calligraphy student and was very wealthy. The will of the old man was hidden by Yayoi's ex, and apparently that was the motive behind the murder.

Again, Yayoi played detective and found the will, but she didn't know that she was being followed, so the danger came closing in. And then....

the prince came to rescue!

Together with the prince, Yayoi uncovered the truth behind the 'A' written by the dead ex. It was actually a clue about a Japanese character that was important in the written will of the sick old man. Simply because Yayoi was a calligraphy teacher and knew about the sick old man's habit in writing. Voila, the detectives weren't really needed to solve the case. Stupid.

poor guy got  a very bright light on his face

and i don't get the logic behind forgetting the ex's face. They didn't even breakup that long, how was that possible? Or was it a hidden joke? They did say Nagasawa wasn't that smart...

7th story then.

the white weapon
 
a guy was seen fell from an open window. Was it a suicide? It wasn't seem to be the case, since there wasn't any will left and there was a blood splatter on the window pane. The detectives on charge declared the case as murder and were determined to find the culprit. The victim was last seen with a girl and guy in the office.

Toda Erika as Nakamachi Yukiko, the last girl to be seen with the victim

Yukiko was a quiet girl who worked with the victim, and was last seen talking with him about work. She didn't really seem to be the doer.

Hiraoka Yuta as Morita Hisashi, the last guy seen with the victim

It turned out that Morita left the office early because of a woman, so that made Yukiko as the last one to see the victim alive.

Another worker from the same office died because he was being pushed from the platform and crushed by the passing train. Then suddenly a guy came over to the police station admitting that he was the killer for both cases.

Senga Kento of Kis-My-Ft2 as Nakamachi Shinji, Yukiko's brother

Even though the guy was in the vicinity for the 2nd murder, he didn't really know the mechanism behind the 1st one for reconstruction. Also there wasn't any motive, so the detectives couldn't take him.

And it turned out that the killer was Yukiko the quiet girl. The motive? You'd laugh, really. so today i stay silent and let you find out about it by watching the drama. Too much spoiler from me, right? Also there was something wicked about Yukiko, but it was never explained in the story. Too bad.

the 8th story then! Our beloved Miura Haruma is back!

a small story about one's intention

this one's a story about 3 people who had been best friends since they were kids. All the way through high school, and the girl had been in a relationship with the other boy, leaving our Miura single.

Ohno Takuro as Yukihara Tatsuya "the other boy", Miura's best friend in drama

Haru as Saeki Yoko, the only girl in the circle

and last but not least, the main star, the lovely (now kinda bulky) Miura Haruma

as Nakaoka Ryo, hey handsome!

The three were never separated outside, being on the same club on the same school, and liked to nap on the grass


we had a mole on the same place, we should have been lovers, right?

Ryo's feeling wasn't that clear, but Yoko and Tatsuya had been lovers for a long time. Even so their friendship lasted for a while. The peaceful days ended when Tatsuya fell from the school's rooftop and his fall was seen by Ryo. He became obsessed and tried to find the truth behind the incident, even though the police declared it as suicide.  Then he met Kasai, the girl who fainted on the last honoring of the deceased on the school. The girl was very suspicious, and Ryo knew that Kasai liked Tatsuya very much even thought the guy never really noticed her.

after a few investigations, Ryo cornered Kasai and found out that it was her who reflected the sunlight on a mirror to Tatsuya's face, making the guy surprised and fell while he was on the rooftop. But he still didn't understand what was Tatsuya doing on the rooftop.

And Yoko made him promised that he would leave the case alone. He didn't know, he didn't understand at all.

Well, some years later, they met again on the school and talked. And Yoko gave a shocking statement. And Ryo realized that maybe it could have been different if he was manlier (maybe, real maybe).

why did you cry? was it the bad hairstyle? was it the bad plot? was it the bad makeup that keep covering your mole like a bad acne? one could only wonder...


Also, do you know that Haru is a singer? maybe a better singer than Miura :p
