' [ Cut # 4 ] 00:02.20 00:00.00 'I was standing here. ' 00:03.00 00:02.20 'Dad had collapsed in the corridor, ' 00:03.00 00:05.20 'Mom was here, in front of the heater. ' 00:03.00 00:19.10 'The first person at the scene of the crime was Kokubu Yoshiharu. ' 00:05.00 00:22.10 'During the inquiry he said that when he visited the Morita home ' 00:04.00 00:27.10 'both parents were already dead and Kimiko was barely breathing. ' 00:03.00 00:32.20 'During the trial he didn't answer the investigator's questions. ' 00:03.00 00:37.00 'Everyone assumed Kokubu was guilty. ' 00:03.00 00:40.20 'Even the defense thought that he was in shock ' 00:02.00 00:43.20 'from his girlfriend's death. ' 00:03.00 00:45.20 'Knowing that continuing with the trial would not be ' 00:03.00 00:48.20 'to their advantage, they appealed many times to the court. ' 00:03.00 00:51.20 'Even then the trial went on. The defence had no choice but ' 00:03.00 00:54.20 'to change their stance based on circumstances and his motive. ' 00:03.00 00:58.20 'Getting the sentence changed from a death penalty ' 00:03.00 01:01.20 'to life in prison was like admitting he was guilty. ' 00:03.00 01:05.10 '"Motive of crime. According to the defendant, ' 00:04.00 01:08.10 'because Morita Akihito objected to his relationship with Kimiko, ' 00:04.00 01:12.10 'using his powers as a Mikura City official, Morita Akihito ' 00:04.00 01:16.10 'falsely accused Kokubu Yoshiharu of being an activist ' 00:04.00 01:20.10 'of a student's movement and pressured the president of ' 00:04.00 01:24.10 'Fukushima University to expel Kokubu. ' 00:04.00 01:30.10 'With his relationship to Kimiko torn to shreds by the university, ' 00:04.00 01:34.10 'on the night of December 24th, 1983, Kokubu entered ' 00:03.00 01:38.10 'the Morita house and on the impulse committed the crime." ' 00:03.00 01:43.00 'But why did he have to kill my sister? ' 00:03.00 01:46.20 'Even if he killed my father because of hatred, ' 00:03.00 01:49.20 'he could've just taken my sister and run off. ' 00:03.00 01:54.00 'Maybe Kimiko didn't want to go with Kokubu. ' 00:03.00 01:58.10 'It would be natural if she had just seen him kill both parents. ' 00:04.00 02:02.00 'In a mad rage, Kokubu probably wanted them to die together. ' 00:03.00 02:07.10 'Maybe his intention was to commit double suicide, ' 00:02.00 02:10.10 'but Kokubu himself didn't die. ' 00:04.00 02:12.20 '"Stabbed by Kokubu, Kimiko was still alive when she was found, ' 00:03.00 02:16.20 'but she died in the hospital the next day, on the 25th." ' 00:03.00 02:20.10 '"Coming down from the 2nd floor, Kokubu noticed the younger ' 00:03.00 02:23.10 'daughter Minako, but he ran out through the back door ' 00:02.00 02:26.10 'without killing her. ' 00:03.00 02:28.10 'That same night, even though Midnight mass was being held at ' 00:03.00 02:31.10 'the Fukushima prefecture Christian church, ' 00:03.00 02:34.10 'no one noticed Kokubu escaping. ' 00:05.00 02:38.20 'Due to the pouring rain, all traces of Kokubu were washed away." ' 00:03.00 02:47.20 'He escaped, changed his clothes and returned to the house to ' 00:03.00 02:52.10 'report the crime to the police as the first person to discover it? ' 00:02.00 02:57.10 'Probably. ' 00:03.00 03:07.20 'Naoki! How much of this to move? ' 00:03.00 03:10.20 'All, all. Move them properly. ' 00:01.20 03:20.00 'Yes? ' 00:03.00 03:21.20 'From now on, call me suppon (soft shelled turtle) Keita! ' 00:02.00 03:25.00 'What are you saying? ' 00:03.00 03:27.00 'Kokubu's relatives couldn't hold out. ' 00:03.00 03:30.00 'I found out where Kokubu went after he got out of jail. ' 00:01.20 03:33.20 'Where. ' 00:03.00 03:35.10 'Asaka in Saitama prefecture. ' 00:03.00 03:39.00 'Whether the evidence the police found were true or not, ' 00:03.00 03:42.00 'reading this it seems obvious... ' 00:03.00 03:46.10 'It was natural to assume Kokubu was guilty, since he ' 00:03.00 03:49.10 'refused to answer the questions. ' 00:04.00 03:54.00 'The defense didn't have any proof that he wasn't guilty either. ' 00:03.00 03:59.10 'No, they had one. ' 00:02.00 04:02.10 'What? ' 00:02.00 04:05.00 'It's you, Minako. ' 00:03.00 04:07.00 'If you, who saw it happen, stood on the witness stand, ' 00:03.00 04:10.00 'there would've been some hope. ' 00:03.00 04:14.00 'But you had lost all memories of that incident. ' 00:03.00 04:18.00 'You couldn't appear on the witness stand. ' 00:03.00 04:25.10 'What if Kokubu is actually innocent? ' 00:03.00 04:28.20 'Would he bear a grudge against me? ' 00:02.00 04:32.00 'That's not possible. ' 00:03.00 04:34.00 'Kokubu never said he was innocent at the trial. ' 00:03.00 04:38.10 'That's true. The criminal is Kokubu. ' 00:03.00 04:47.00 'What is Kokubu thinking now? ' 00:03.00 04:50.20 'Why do you think he's disappeared? ' 00:03.00 04:56.10 'He's got something left to do? ' 00:03.00 05:01.20 'Something left to do... ' 00:03.00 05:05.10 'To kill the Morita daugher that he didn't kill! ' 00:03.00 05:08.10 'No, don't think that! ' 00:04.00 05:12.20 'What sort of man is Kokubu Yoshiharu? ' 00:03.00 05:23.00 'Kokubu! On a date again? ' 00:02.10 05:26.20 'You'll be scolded by the dorm leader ' 00:02.00 05:29.00 'if you don't come back on time. ' 00:03.00 05:39.20 'How deep was my sister's love for Kokubu Yoshiharu?
