The 16th episode of the popular detective drama "Aibou Season 24" (TV Asahi, Wednesdays at 9pm), starring Yutaka Mizutani and Yasufumi Terawaki, titled "The Most Hated Person in Town," will air on February 18th. Guest appearances include Megumi Yokoyama.
Junko Sato (Yokoyama), a resident of a garbage house who was rumored to be "the most hated person in town" and known as a troublemaker in the neighborhood, is found dead. There were signs of a struggle nearby, so the police began investigating, considering the possibility of murder. Ukyo (Mizutani) and Kaoru (Terawaki) became curious and spoke to students from a tennis club who were near the scene, and learned that Junko often appeared on the court and enthusiastically watched practice.
When Ukyo and Kaoru visit Junko's home, they are shocked by the state of the garbage house, which makes it difficult to even enter. It has a terrible reputation among the neighbors, and it seems that she has been acting strangely since her father, whom she was caring for, died of illness. About six months ago, she got into trouble with a man who appeared to be a semi-criminal, and although the incident was contained by a city hall employee who was present, the man apparently left a parting shot saying, "If I see you again, I'll kill you." Curious about the series of sightings, Ukyo and Kaoru visit the employee who helped Junko to find out more about the situation.
A woman's unexpected and tragic past. What are the thoughts in her heart? The screenplay is by Tomoyuki Takimoto and the director is Tatsuya Hama.
