Aibou TV Season 3 Episode 18 - The President's Conspiracy(大統領の陰謀)

Subtitle: The President's Conspiracy(大統領の陰謀)

 A woman's body is found in a suitcase on a land where houses were being built. Shizuka Sakuragi(桜木 静香)'s body was left there over an year ago. When Asakura's fingerprints are found on the suitcase, everyone assumes that he committed the murder since Sakuragi was a former high class call girl. It turns out, however, that she was killed after Asakura had lost his memories, and Sergeant Kaoru can't believe that Asakura would have been able to kill anyone in that state. When Sergeant Kaoru looks through Asakura's belongings, he discovers that Asakura had a map showing directions from Tadokoro Grand Hotel to the location where the trunk containing Shizuka Sakuragi's body was found. Did Asakura really kill Sakuragi? How are the homeless called "The President" and the local mayor involved in this case?
