Matsukaze Yoshiteru (Matsuyama Kenichi) finally reunites with his father, Kuze (Shinoi Eisuke). "Hey, Akazawa-san, you know me, right?" Matsukaze begins, "Actually, I'm currently defending someone who was arrested in connection with the murder of a former police officer. Akazawa-san is in charge of that case. So..." he explains.
In the midst of all this, Kuze advised Akazawa, "Be careful of that man." He continued, "He was the kind of guy who would take any risk to advance the investigation. I warned Akazawa himself, and even his superiors, that he might cause trouble someday. And I did this many times."
Furthermore, Kuze revealed that he had been contacted by Haruo Yamashita (Lily Franky) a little while ago. "Now that I think about it, Yamashita-san said something strange about Akazawa at that time," he said.
Haruo asked, "Did you know that Akazawa and his wife had been living separately at the time of the incident?" Kuze responded by saying, "Apparently his wife had left with their child for a while. I guess he had a lot going on."
On social media, people were speculating, saying things like, "I wonder what happened between the Akazawas while they were separated," "When Akazawa's wife said that she had been living separately from Akazawa for a while, she said she brought her child with her, but she didn't say son - was that on purpose?", "If the Akazawas were living separately for a period of time, then there's a chance that Kyoko could be Komugi's mother," "Was Akazawa's wife living separately for a year to give birth to Uta?", "Was Kyoko living separately from Hayashikawa? Was she with the Hayashikawa family?" and "Komugi was born during their separation after she had an affair with Hayashikawa."
