Aibou TV Season 6 Episode 9 - An Edited Murder(編集された殺人)

Subtitle: An Edited Murder(編集された殺人)

 Miho Tsubaki(椿 美穂), the proprietress for Snack Bar Tsubaki(スナック椿), is on trial for her husband's murder. During the trial the prosecutor runs video footage from the testimony given by Yōko Mishima(三島 陽子), a part time worker at Snack Bar Tsubaki(スナック椿). Though Yōko was supposed to have given testimony in favor of Miho, the video footage shows Yōko giving testimony unfavorable for Miho. That night Yōko is murdered. Did Miho really murder her husband? Who killed Yōko, and how are the two murders related?

Characters appearing/mentioned in the story

Kaori Mutō(武藤 かおり) - Lawyer who is defending Miho.

Tsukasa Nabeshima(鍋島 司) - Prosecutor who is handling the case against Miho.

Yōko Mishima(三島 陽子) - Part time worker who went to work at Snack Bar Tsubaki(スナック椿)only on weekends. She was killed by a blow to her head between 10 PM and 12 AM the night after a video recording of her testimony ran at Miho's trial. Based on the blood found at the scene, the police concluded that she was killed somewhere else and her body dumped outside later. Inspector Ukyō determines that she was killed in the now-closed Snack Bar Tsubaki.

Yōko told Lawyer Mutō that Yōko agreed to talk to the prosecutors only because she thought that her testimony would help Miho. However, the recording of her testimony that ran during Miho's trial seemed to show Yōko claiming that Miho's snack was losing money and that the Tsubaki couple fought every day when the customers weren't there.

In fact, Yōko had secretly made a voice recording of the testimony she gave to the prosecutor. Listening to this, Inspector Ukyō concluded that the prosecutor edited her testimony to present only the parts advantageous to the prosecutor.

The snack bar gave out matches and was in the process of switching to lighters. Only one lighter, a sample, was made, and it was sent to the store on Monday 10/29, the day Tomoaki was killed. For some reason, Yōko had that lighter in her possession. She even used it when she gave her testimony to the prosecution, although she never revealed the store logo in the recording.

Miho Tsubaki(椿 美穂) - Proprietress of Snack Bar Tsubaki(スナック椿). She was the first person to discover her husband's Tomoaki's body. She talked to her father when her husband was killed, but since she used a cellphone, this conversation did not exclude her as a suspect. As a result, the police charged her with the murder of her husband. Even though she confessed to the crime during interrogation, she went back on her confession during the trial.

Hiroshi Horizoe(堀添 博) - Miho's father. When Tomoaki was killed, Mr. Horizoe was sick, and Miho had called her father to check up on him.

He claims that Yōko betrayed Miho after watching Miho's recorded testimony in court and also mentioned that she was smoking using a lighter from Snack Bar Tsubaki. He also claims that he's never met Miho personally.

Tomoaki Tsubaki(椿 友章) - Miho's husband. He was murdered in his own store with a knife from the store about two months ago.

Aibou TV Season 6 Episode 7 - Midair High-Rise Building(空中の楼閣)

Subtitle: Midair High-Rise Building(空中の楼閣)

 Someone bludgeoned Shigehiro Katsumura(勝村 繁彦),the editor working with Miwako on her first book Forest of Silence (沈黙の森 Chinmoku No Mori), to death. Takeru Shōji(庄司 タケル), a popular author, recently had a heated argument with the editor. Shōji even told an editor that he was going to kill Katsumura. Did the popular author kill the defiant editor?

Characters appearing/mentioned in the story

Takeru Shōji(庄司 タケル) - Popular author of love novels. He used to work at a host club, but his blog posts about the underbelly of the night life became popular and led him to write his first novel.

He recently released the immensely popular Bitter Love, which was going to be made into a film. The heroine of the book uses Natsumi mascara(なつみマスカラ Natsumi Masukara) a tie-in product made by Elise Cosmetics, for her first date. He stood to make a lot of money should the cosmetic sell well, and he was upset that Katsumura was trying to get the book Forest of Silence published, a book which criticizes Elise Cosmetics. The author even threatened to publish the sequel to Bitter Love through another publishing company. He was seen arguing with Katsumura three days before Katsumura was found dead.

He is hot tempered and had been arrested while working at a host club for causing injuries: after getting into an argument, he hit a customer over the head with a beer bottle.

He says that there are two classes of people - those who look down on other people and those who are looked down by other people.

Yoshiki Andō(安藤 芳樹) - Book cover designer(装丁家) who works from his office Design Office Ando. He has designed numerous covers for Katsumura, and he also designed the book cover for Takeru Shōji's Bitter Love. He read the manuscript for Forest of Silence and especially loved the work's memorable introduction. For the Forest of Silence's book cover, he drew fireflies that lived in the area before the forests were polluted.

Shigehiro Katsumura(勝村 繁彦) - Editor for the Sankō Publishing Company(讃光社) who was killed after he was hit on the head between 10 PM and 12 AM. His body was carried, dragged, and dumped in a vacant lot. The last person he talked to on his cellphone was Miwako. In that conversation, Miwako told him that she had sent the latest manuscript of her book to him. She was going to meet him at the publishing company to sign the contract for her book in the afternoon on the day his body was discovered. He had red ink on his fingers.

He didn't get along with his coworkers at work because he defied corporate policies and tried to champion hard-hitting works even if they may not have sold well. He also let his opinions be known. For example, he had published an article criticizing a popular author in this months issue of Literary World(文芸世界 Bungei Sekai). As a result, he also often argued with various authors.

Shōgo Hidaka(日高 正吾) - Editor for the Sankō Publishing Company(讃光社) who worked with Takeru Shōji(庄司 タケル).

Yoshiko Saotome(早乙女 佳子) - Works at the public relations department for Elise Cosmetics(エリセ化粧品 Erise Keshōhin). Elise Cosmetics decided to sponsor the movie Bitter Love. She explains to Takeru Shōji that a special line of cosmetics will go on sale only while the movie is in the theaters and also asks the author to include other products from Elise Cosmetics in his future works.
