Judgment/Final Chapter

Down Came the Rain (, Tokage no Shippo, Lit. "Lizard's Tail") is the thirteenth and final chapter of Judgment.
==Plot==
One month later, Yagami's team starts preparing for Ayabe's trial. Izumida and Mafuyu manage to convince Ichinose to testify, supposedly so that he can explain how AD-9 is unconnected to the case, but in truth so that Yagami can spring a trap for him. Hoshino convinces Dr. Kido to testify against Shono, but only if he is allowed to pretend that he only learned about the murders recently, thus exculpating himself. Higashi convinces the Matsugane Family to not go after Kuroiwa themselves, since they'll likely be killed or jailed, but rather to protect Yagami and his allies so they're not killed before the trial. Mafuyu also discovers the reason for Morita's betrayal: His mother had suffered from a severe Alzheimer's and his brother had killed her out from the stress of caring for her before hanging himself, so Morita decided to support AD-9 in the hopes that it'll put an end to Alzheimer's for good.
Yagami and Kaito get word that Prosecutor Morita is raiding one of Ayabe's illegal casinos and they go there to convince him to switch sides, but they are unable to persuade him. The duo are then confronted by Detective Kuroiwa, who tries to kill them. However, they are saved by Morita, who talks Kuroiwa down by saying that he'd never be able to cover up their murders if he kills them in an active crime scene. After leaving the casino, Kaito and Yagami spot a mysterious figure dressed in the same raincoat that Kuroiwa had used during the Mole murders. They give chase and eventually catch up to the man, who reveals himself to be Captain Hamura. The Captain claims that he wants to help them out, to atone for indirectly causing Patriarch Matsugane's death.
The day of the trial arrives and Yagami returns to court for the first time since Okubo's trial, serving as Ayabe's defense attorney. Minister Ichinose is brought in to testify and Yagami springs his trap: He relays all his findings of the Mole murders and the human experiments to the court, accusing Shono and Ichinose of masterminding the entire conspiracy and framing Ayabe for Shintani's murder. He then brings in Captain Hamura, who testifies that Ichinose had hired him and Kuroiwa to procure the human test subjects and kill both Hashiki and Shintani. Hamura also provides a recording he secretly made of Ichinose ordering Shintani's assassination. Director Kido is brought in to testify afterwards, providing details and evidence about Shono's experiments.
When Ichinose realizes that Prosecutors Mafuyu and Izumida are in on the plan and won't put a stop to the testimonies, he covertly sends a message to one of his underlings to assassinate Kuroiwa, in order to eliminate him as a possible additional witness if he were to be questioned. Kaito and Yagami notice this, so they leave the court to try to prevent the killing, leaving Hoshino and Shirosaki to finish the proceedings. The duo rushes to Kamurocho, where they find that Ichinose's assassins failed to kill Kuroiwa. They learn from one of the wounded assassins that Kuroiwa is heading for the ADDC since he plans to murder Shono in revenge for being betrayed. Since the team still needs Shono to stand trial if they are to prove that Okubo is innocent of Waku and Emi's murders, they rush to stop Kuroiwa.
Yagami, Kaito, Sugiura and Higashi rush to the ADDC, which is crawling with police officers, whom Kuroiwa brought along to prevent anyone from interrupting him. Kaito and Higashi distract the police while Yagami and Sugiura chase after the Mole. The two manage to arrive in time to stop Kuroiwa from killing Shono but, in their battle, Sugiura is shot and heavily wounded. Yagami and Kuroiwa face off in an extended one on one battle, where Yagami ultimately ends up victorious. Kaito and Higashi arrive soon after with various police officers chasing them. Taking advantage of this distraction, Kuroiwa lunges for Shono and tries to stab him with a hidden knife, only for him to be shot multiple times and killed by the police officers.
Yagami tells Shono that his conspiracy is over since the truth about the experiments is being revealed in court. However, Shono claims that he has won regardless. He produces a syringe from his pocket and claims that he has finally perfected AD-9. Yagami angrily rebuffs Shono, claiming that even if he did finish his miracle drug, he's still going to be jailed for murdering Waku and Emi. The researcher says murdering them was worth it, since his new drug will save the world. Shono injects himself with the sample of AD-9 to prove he has succeeded but, unfortunately for him, the drug wasn't perfected. Immediately, Shono begins screaming in pain and collapses to the floor, after which he dies and his eyes turn a pale blue. This was why Kuroiwa and Shono had gouged out all their victim's eyes; since they were clear evidence of human experimentation.
===Epilogue===
Two weeks later, Yagami visits Okubo in prison. Emi's murder is being re-tried and Okubo is set to be released within a week, since Sugiura had filmed Shono when he confessed to the murders. Before departing, Yagami tells Okubo that he has one more visitor: Sugiura, whom Okubo hadn't seen since Emi's murder trial. Emi's brother pleads for Okubo's forgiveness and Yagami leaves the two to reminisce about Emi.
After the trial, Ayabe was released from prison, cleared of all charges. Hamura willingly turned himself into the police, and Ichinose and Morita were fired from their positions and then arrested for conspiring with Shono and Kuroiwa. Though he will not be charged with aiding the conspirators, Kido resigned from his position and the ADDC will be shut down. However, since all of Ichinose's policies are under review due to the conspiracy, Chairman Kajihira and the Kyorei Clan will not be sold the land for redevelopment, so they have still lost the 100 billion yen they invested in the project.
Despite insistence from Mafuyu and his friends from the Genda Law Firm, Yagami decides that he will not return to the legal profession and will instead continue to work as a private detective with Kaito. The duo gets a call about a missing cat and head out to investigate.

* The Japanese title of the chapter is based on the Japanese idiom , which means to let a subordinate or associate take the fall for a crime one committed, like Shono did with Okubo earlier in the story or Dr. Kido does with Shono in this chapter.
