Chibiki Tatsuji:
How did Nakao feel that day?

Kouichi Sakakibara:
He was so dizzy from the trip, and he vomited a lot.

Chibiki Tatsuji:
Anything else?

Kouichi Sakakibara:
Well...

Mei Misaki:
He could not swim well.

Chibiki Tatsuji:
I see... Maybe that's what happened!

Kouichi Sakakibara:
What do you mean?

Chibiki Tatsuji:
I talked to Mr. Ohba, a police detective, about what happened. And he had a nagging suspicion... that Nakao may have been dead before the motorboat would have beaten him. [Kouichi is surprised] The condition in his head when he died was inconsistent with the moment of the collision with the motorboat. The Bruising caused by the hit was already there before.

Kouichi Sakakibara:
You mean, before he went to the beach?

Chibiki Tatsuji:
[Nodding] According to his family, that morning they heard a noise on the stairs. When they went to check, they just saw him going to the door.

Mei Misaki:
Then he must have beaten his head.

Chibiki Tatsuji:
Most likely.

Kouichi Sakakibara:
[Shocked] So, The event that led to his death happened in Yomiyama?

Chibiki Tatsuji:
Very likely. When he left Yomiyama, without going to the hospital to check his head, his death was assured.
