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...
Though, apparently, Oguri keeps insisting 
he knows nothing about any of it.
رغم ذلك، يبدو أنَّ أوغوري يستمرُّ في الإصرار
على أنّه لا يعلم شيئاً عن الأمر
Auch wenn Oguri weiterhin
von nichts wissen will.
Aunque Oguri insiste
en que no sabe nada.
Aunque Oguri insiste
en que no sabe nada.
Malgré tout, Oguri persiste
à plaider son ignorance.
Anche se, a quanto pare,
Oguri insiste di non saperne nulla.
Mas o Oguri insiste que
não sabe de nada disso.
Огури, однако, настаивает, 
что ничего об этом не знает.
