Genius poet Ishikawa Takuboku moves to Tokyo with the help of an upperclassman of his, Kindaichi Kyousuke. Enraptured by both drink and women, Takuboku finds himself perpetually out of money. One day, the two men decide to drop by Asakusa and find themselves primary witnesses to a murder. The victim, Tatsukichi, worked in the home of Oguri, the head clerk to the Arakawa mines. When the murder weapon and a letter of accusation written by Tatsukichi are discovered, Oguri is arrested for the crime, but Takuboku isn't convinced...
And unless I become a police detective or
 something, it won't make me any money.
،وما لم أصبِح مُتحرّياً في الشرطة أو ما شابه
فلن يُكسِبني هذا أية نقود
Und solange ich kein Kriminalbeamter werde,
verdiene ich damit auch kein Geld.
Y no me da dinero si no me hago policía.
Y no me da dinero si no me hago policía.
À moins d’entrer dans la police,
ça ne me rapportera rien.
E, a meno che non diventi
un investigatore della polizia, non frutta soldi.
E, a não ser que eu vire policial ou
coisa do tipo, não dá para viver disso.
И на этом не заработать, 
если не идти в полицию.
