Panel 8
伯爵夫人が死亡したというニュースの精神的ショックによるものか この時おなかに受けた頭突きのダメージによるものか きっかけがもうひとつハッキリしないのだ
Whether it was mental shock because of the news that the countess died or because of the damage from the head butt at that time, the trigger wasn't certain.

168
Panel 1
とにかく きっかけが何であれ10日以上続いた交通渋滞がこの時突然強烈に 劇的に解消したのである
Anyhow, whatever the trigger was, the congestion that had been building up for over 10 days was suddenly, intensely and dramatically dissolved at that moment.

I cannot possibly draw a picture of what happened at that time, so instead I'll borrow the words that will be written of this scene by a future biographer.

三日前の晩 自宅のバルコニーから落ちたんです
During the evening three days ago, she fell from the balcony at her home.

Panel 3
バルコニー？
The balcony?

4階にあるバルコニーだそうです 直接の死因は頭蓋骨折と脊椎損傷
It seems the balcony is 4 stories up. The direct cause of death was a skull fracture and damage to her backbone.

Panel 4
落っこちた拍子に頭をぶつけて背骨が折れたんですね
So her head was struck and her spine broken when she fell.

じゃあ事故死だな
Then it was an accidental death.

Panel 5
そのはずですが。。。警察の発表ではそのへんにふれてませんね
Supposedly but... Did you see the announcement by the police?

ええっ？
Eeh?

Panel 6
検死医の所見に事故とか何とか書いてないのか
Isn't it written as an accident on the coroner's report?

Panel 6
報告書でふれてないということは事故と断定できないということだ
The report doesn't say so we can't conclude that it's an accident.

えっ それでは殺人？！
Eh, then it was murder?!

Panel 7

I don't know but it's possible. I'd like to check but I'm in this state.

うん？伯爵夫人には7歳の孫娘がいると書いてある
よしあいつにやらせよう
Yes? It's written that the countess had a 7 year old granddaughter.
All right, I'll have him do it.

173
Panel 1
で？
And?

Panel 2
そーゆーわけでおまえに調べてもらいたいんだ
So I want you to investigate.

Panel 3
亡くなった伯爵夫人というのはロマノフ王朝の末裔で若い頃アメリカに亡命してな ある実業家と結婚してから商売の才能を発揮して事業をどんどん大きくしたのだ
The countess who passed away was a descedent of the Romanov dynasty who defected to the United States. She married a businessman and showed good business sense, running one large project after another.

Panel 4
だんなが死んでからも積極的に事業を拡大し とうとう巨大な財団の女当主になった 宝石が好きでマリネラでとれる大粒のダイヤをたくさん買ってくれたのだ
She expanded the business aggressively after her husband died, and eventually she became the head of a huge foundation and the head of the family. She liked jewels,  and bought many large diamonds in Malynera.

Panel 5
お得意様が事件にまきこまれたのかもしれんのだからほうってはおけんそこでおまえに

Is there something about the victim?

ハッ

伯爵夫人はロシアからの亡命者だ
The countess was a refugee from Russia.

Panel 2

Is there something fishy about that?

しーっ

It's top secret. Will you cooperate with me?

Panel 3
そりゃもう喜んでこちらも手づまり状態でしてな
We'd be happy to, we're at a stalemate.

Panel 4
報告書は見たよ 状況は事故のようだがそれで片づかない 事情でもあるのかね
I saw the report. It looks like an accident, but it wasn't solved. What are the circumstances?

Panel 5
何と言いますか。。。
How should I say it...

とにかく被害者には敵が多かったんです
At any rate, the victim had many enemies.

Panel 6
名目上は息子さんが財団の当主なんですが 実権は被害者がにぎってましてビジネスのことで恨みをもつ人間が大勢いましてね
Her son was the head of the foundation in name, but really the victim was in charge, and many people held a grudge against the business.

Panel 7
いえ 外部の人間だけじゃなく息子さんとの間には軋轢があったようなんです
Well, it wasn't just people outside of the company, but she also had friction with her son.

というと？
Meaning?

Panel 8
息子さんが新しい事業を展開しようとした所 被害者が反対して争いになったらしいんです 公衆の面前でののしりあったことも一度や二度ではないとか
The son tried to start up a new project that the victim opposed, and it seems they had a quarrel. They also spoke ill of each other in public a few times.

177
Panel 1
まっ先に疑いたい人物だな
He's the most suspicious person.

息子の奥さんとも仲が悪かったんです
The son had a bad relationship with his mother.

Panel 2
ええっ
Eeh

典型的な嫁いびりですよ ことあるごとに嫁さんにつらくあたりましてね
It's typical wife bullying. She was always hard on her daughter-in-law on everything.

Panel 3
先日はまだ小さいお嬢さんを外国の寄宿学校に入れるとか言いだして嫁さんと大ゲンカになったそうなんです
The other day she suggested they send their small daughter to a boarding school in a foreign country, and she got in a big fight with her daughter-in-law.

Panel 4
ビジネスではやり手かもしれんがとにかく被害者の評判は悪くてね 使用人を含めてこの家で被害者が死んで悲しんでる人間はいませんよ
She may have been skilled in business, but the victim wasn't very popular, was she? There isn't a person in this house who is sad the victim died, including her employees.

えらいバアさんだったようだな
Seems like she was an old hag.

Panel 5
そうか 容疑者がそんなにいるのに事故死というのはおかしいというわけか
Yes. With so many suspects, it'd be strange for it to be an accidental death, wouldn't it be?

Panel 6
それもそうなんですが
You have a point.

まだ何か？
Anything yet?

Panel 7
まあ とにかく現場を見ませんか
Not really. Anyway, have you seen the site?

そうだな
No.

Panel 8

But this balcony was her favorite place, there was a nice breeze here.

179
Panel 1
手すりが低いな
The handrail is short.

Panel 2
伯爵夫人の身長は？
How tall was the countess?

150cm弱です
150cm, she was short.

Panel 3
子柄だなあ するとあやまってすべり落ちたとは考えられないか
She's childlike. So it's unimaginable that she was slip over it?

Panel 4
自殺の可能性は？
Is there a possibility of suicide?

一応考えましたけどね
It's a consideration for now.

でもどう考えても自殺するようなタイプじゃないです
But she doesn't seem the type who would commit suicide.

Panel 5
うーむ
Yeah

おや？
Oh?

Panel 7
誰だこんな所にキッチンの椅子を持ってきたのは
Who brought this kitchen chair here?

Panel 8
最初からそこにあったんじゃないのか
It wasn't there from the beginning?

とんでもない
Not a chance.

180
Panel 1
私どもがキッチンで食事をする時に使う椅子ですよ 誰か持ってきてそのままにしておいたんでしょう
It's a chair used when we eat in the kitchen. Someone had to bring it and leave it here.

Panel 2
ちゃんと片づければいいのに
I should put it away.

ブチブチ
Buchi buchi - Scrape

それでですね
Well then.

Panel 3
さきほど言いかけたことなんですが
It's like I said a bit ago.

Panel 4
実はここの7歳になる孫娘ソフィーさんというんですがその子が事件の直前 被害者が若い女と一緒にいたのを見てるんです
Actually, her 7 year old granddaughter Sophie is here. The young lady was seen with her just before the incident.

Panel 5
ソフィーちゃんなんてかわいい名前だ
Sophie, what a cute name.

ゾフィーならM78せーうんだが
Sophie like the M78 nebula

Panel 6
あのー
Umm

あ いや
Ah, it's nothing.

Panel 7
つまり他にも容疑者がいるということか
In short, are there other suspects?

それがですね
There's one.

Panel 8
足がなかったそうなんです
I heard she didn't have legs.

181
Panel 2
ええっ？！
Eeh?!

Panel 3
それで困ってるんですよ 子供の言うこととはいえ頭から信用しないわけにもいけませんし
That's worrying. But from the beginning you can't rely on what children say.

といって こんなこと上司には言えませんしね
However, the authorities can't talk about it.

Panel 4
なにしろ被害者に会社をつぶされて自殺したとか一家心中したという話がけっこうあるもんですから
At any rate, there were rumors that the victim's company was crushed so she committed suicide or it was a family suicide.

幽霊にとり殺されたとでもいうつもりか
Are you saying she was killed but a ghost?

Panel 5
それで手づまり状態なんです
We're in a deadlock.

相手が幽霊じゃ警察の手には負えません
If the other party was a ghost the police can't do anything.

Panel 6
CIAの手にも負えんわい
The CIA wouldn't be able to, either.

Panel 7
とにかくその子に会ってみよう
Anyway, I'll meet the girl.

Panel 8
いいか任務だから会うんだぞ 個人的な興味じゃないんだぞ
I'm doing this because it's my job, not because of personal interest.

はぁ
Yeah

182
Panel 2
かっ
Cu-

Panel 3
かわいい！
Cute!

かわいいと顔がくずれるんですよ
What a cute scrunched face!

Panel 4
そう変な顔なさらんでもまあ初めてこの部屋を見た方はたいていおどろきますが
Even if you didn't have a strange face, people are often surprised seeing this room for the first time.

Panel 5
まるで遊園地だな
It's just like an amusement park.

一人娘ですのでご両親のかわいがり方は尋常じゃございませんので
She's their only daughter, so they dote on her more than normal.

Panel 6

You saw your grandmother with a girl.

Panel 2
えぇ 白い髪で白いドレスの
Yes, with white hair and a white dress.

Panel 3
足がなかったんだって？
And no legs?

Panel 4
そうなの 前にも二、三度見かけたんだけど あの日はハッキリ見えたわ 腰から下がなかったの
Yes. I caught sight of her a few times before, but this time I saw her clearly.There was nothing from below her hips.

前にも二、三度？！
You saw her a few times before?!

Panel 5
ということはまた現れる可能性があるということだ！
So there's a possibility she'll appear again!

はぁ
Yeah.

Panel 6
よし仕事だ！やむをえん！わたしが泊まりこんで調べよう！
All right, it's for work! It can't be helped! I'll stay the night and investigate!

Panel 7
ええっ そこまで徹底的に調査するとはさすがCIA！
Eeh, you would investigate that thoroughly? As expected of the CIA!

まぁまぁ
Now, now.

Panel 8
泊めていただけますか
Could you put me up for the night?

だんな様に聞きませんと
I must ask the master.

Panel 9
かまわんよ
I don't mind.

184
Panel 1
母が死んで気分がいいんだ CIAでも何でもぞんぶんに調べてくれ
I've been in a good mood since my mother died. So the CIA or anyone can investigate all they want.

ホッホッ
Ho ho

あなたったら
Even you.

Panel 2
母親が死んだんだもう少し体裁をつくろうったらどうだ
His mother died. He can't put up a bit better of a front?

Panel 3
しかし やましいことがあったらあんな風にあけすけに喜びはしないだろうな
However, if he was guilty he probably wouldn't act so happy so openly.

Panel 4
おじちゃまお泊まりするの
Mister, are you staying the night?

ああ
Yeah.

Panel 5
わぁうれしい あたし寝る前にご本を読んでもらうのが大好きなのご本を読んでくださる？
Yay, that's great! Will you please read my favorite book to me before I go to bed?

Panel 6

Panel 7
で 結局わたしは右肩脱臼ソフィーちゃんは足の骨を折ったが かろうじて大事にはいたらずにすんだ
So, in the end, my right shoulder was dislocated. Sophie's foot was broken, but it wasn't anything serious.

Panel 8
弱ったなぁ
You were weak.

まったくだ 幽霊が相手ではどうしようもない
Geez, what do you expect me to do when my opponent is a ghost?

189
Panel 1
まあ幽霊はおいといて。。。おまえの話からすると事件以降そのバルコニーの部屋はしめきってあったわけだな
Well, leave the ghost... From your story, after the incident the room with the balcony was closed off.

Panel 2
そうだ 伯爵夫人の死体を発見してすぐ鍵をかけその鍵は執事が肌身はなさず持っていた
That's right. When the butler found the countess' corpse he immediately locked the door so nothing would happen to the body.

誰も出入りできなかったわけだな
No one could have gone in or out.

Panel 3
キッチンの椅子というのは軽いのか？
Was the kitchen seat light?

Panel 4
妙な質問だがそうだな アルミのパイプ製で小指一本で持てるくらい軽い
That's a strange question but it was. It was made of aluminum pipe, so light that you could carry it with one little finger.

バルコニーの部屋にほかに椅子はあったか
Were there other chairs in the room that had the balcony?

Panel 5
ああ 白いカバーのかかったどっしりした椅子があった
Yes, there was a massive chair with a white cover.

Panel 6
キッチンの椅子をその部屋に運んだという人間はいたか
Was there a person who carried the kitchen chair into the room?

いや 執事が家の者にたずねたが誰もらないということだった
No, the butler asked everyone in the house but no one said they did it.

Panel 7
ふーむ。。。ほかに椅子があったんだからキッチンの椅子は座るために持ちこまれたものではないな
Hmm... There were other chairs, so the kitchen chair wasn't brought in for someone to sit on it.

190
Panel 1
座る以外椅子が何かの役に立つか？
Is a chair useful for anything but sitting down?

高い所の物をとったり逆に物を引っぱりあげる時のふみ台になる
If you take it to an expensive place and turn it around it can be a footstool.

Panel 2
ああ。。。
Aah...

今回の事件は被害者の性格や敵が多かった事実から偶然の事故とは考えにくい ということは殺人だ
In this incident with the personality of the victim and how many enemies she had, it's hard to consider it an accidental death from that.

Panel 3
そしてキッチンの椅子は犯行に利用するために犯人が持ちこんだものと思われる
So it seems like the criminal brought the kitchen chair in to use if to commit the crime.

Panel 4
でなければ運んだという人間が名のり出ないのは不自然だ
It's unnatural that no one would admit to bringing in the chair.

しかし椅子を何に使ったんだ
But how was the chair used?

Panel 5
あらかじめなぐり倒しておいた被害者を手すりを越えさせて放り出すためだ
It was placed there beforehand in order to knock the victim over the handrail.

Panel 6
手すりはひくかったぞ
The handrail was low.

犯人は小柄なんだ
The criminal was short.

Panel 7
この家で小柄というと
Someone short in the home...

Panel 8
執事か！
It was the butler?!

Panel 9
いや しかし彼は背は低いがガッシリした体つきだ  被害者を放り出すのにふみ台など必要あるまい
No. He's short but he has a stocky frame. He wouldn't need a stool to throw the victim over.

だから犯人は小柄で しかもどっしりした椅子は動かせないのでキッチンの椅子を運ばざるをえなかったほど力が弱い人物なのだ
So the criminal was small, and moreover couldn't move a large chair, so as a weak person they carried the kitchen chair there.

191
Panel 1
ええっ そんなに小柄で非力な人物というと
Eeh, a powerless and dainty person like that would mean...

Panel 3
まさか！
No way!

そのまさかだ
Yes way.

Panel 4
しかし！。。。バカバカしい！
But! ...That's ridiculous!

Panel 5
そうだ幽霊はどうなるわたしはたしかに見たぞ
That's right, I'm certain I saw a ghost!

192
Panel 1
人間の神経なんてそんなもんだ 風船に白いカバーをかけてフワフワ浮かばせたのを幽霊と見まちがえたんだ
Humans are sensitive. Put a white cover on a balloon floating around and they'll mistake it for a ghost.

Panel 2
風船は空に放し カバーは椅子にもどせばいい あとはCIAのうたがいをはらすために飛び降りてみせればよかった
The balloon could float away in the sky and the cover can be put back on the chair. To dispel the CIA's doubts, she could jump off.

しかし！
But!

Panel 3
危険すぎる！わたしがまにあわなかったら死んでたかもしれんのだぞ！
That's too dangerous! If I hadn't been in time she would have died!

Panel 4
そこは想像するしかないが 何といっても相手は子供 きっと大人のおまえが助けてくれると思ったんだろう
I have no choice but to imagine it would be, but she would probably think as an adult you'd surely help a child.

Panel 5
動機は！
What was her motive?!

Panel 6
家にいれば両親が甘やかしてくれるが 外国の寄宿学校なんぞに放りこまれたらそうはいくまい
Her parents spoil her when she's in the house, but if she was sent to a foreign boarding school that wouldn't happen.
