Episode 1

Seigi of the Pink Sapphire (ピンク・サファイアの正義) is the first episode of The Case Files of Jeweler Richard.

Summary
Seigi meets Richard late at night when Richard is being harassed on the street. He notices Richard is not Japanese and asks him if he is okay in English. Richard thanks him in fluent Japanese and gives Seigi his business card.

When Seigi was younger, his grandmother chastised him for finding a ring in a drawer. As an adult, he takes it to Richard to appraise it. Richard says it's a pink sapphire and to properly valuate it, he will return it to Seigi in a week.

Richard asks Seigi if he understands that the ring may be a stolen one, due to its rarity. Seigi explains his grandmother was a pickpocket, so he guessed correctly. The woman she stole the ring from threw herself in front of a train. She wanted to return it, as she heard the woman survived, but was arrested and kept it until her passing. Seigi explains he wishes to finish what his grandmother couldn't and return the ring.

They travel to Kobe to return the ring to its original owner. She tells Seigi a story of when she was younger. It was her engagement ring to a man she didn't love. When it went missing, she felt freed. She was abused at home for losing it and it was the final push for her to attempt taking her own life. She tells Seigi to keep the ring.

Richard admits he did not expect Seigi to want to return it and explains the pink sapphire means justice, just like Seigi's name. Richard later gives Seigi the complete results of his valuation. He offers Seigi a job at his shop. He also asks Seigi to just refer to him as Richard without honorifics.
