The fourth episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers," starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, aired on May 8th. Social media was flooded with comments pointing out that the behavior of mountain photographer Fumi Karashima, played by Atsuko Sendo, was "suspicious."
◇The following contains spoilers.
The drama follows detective Makoto Tagasari (played by Okada) and medical examiner Minoru (played by Someya) as they investigate heinous crimes that occur daily and pursue the true culprit in the murder of two parents, a case that reached its statute of limitations just two days before the abolition of the statute of limitations. This is the latest work from producer Junko Arai, who has worked on hit crime suspense films such as "Last Mile" and dramas such as "Unnatural," "MIU404," and "Saiai."
Among the belongings of the deceased Tsuda (Kazuki Iio), a key and a note with a phone number written on it were found. When Makoto called the number, Fumi answered the phone. Fumi was the wife of Sadao (Hidekazu Nagae), the factory manager of "Karashima Metal Factory," where Makoto and Minoru's deceased father, Sakutaro (Masato Wada), had worked.
Later, Minoru visited Fumi's home alone and asked, "You know a man named Tsuda Yuji, don't you?" However, Fumi denied it, saying, "Well, I don't know anyone like that." When he further asked if Tsuda had visited her before she killed her parents, she replied curtly, "I'm sorry. I was trying not to meet too many people at that time."
Afterward, Fumi clearly told Sadao, "I'm going to Hida next week, so don't worry. You don't have to worry about anything." She left him with a meaningful remark.
Social media was abuzz with comments like, "Fumi seems suspicious," "Does Fumi really not know Tsuda...? It's a little suspicious," "Fumi must be hiding something," "I don't need to worry about anything? I'm really curious about Fumi and her husband," "Fumi is being mysterious," and "You don't need to worry about anything ← This is the most suspicious development yet."
