Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The one stealing company technology was actually Kazuomi Isshiki. He was selling the components to Hiraguchi, an R&D employee at Myojo Technics, for a profit. The mouse robot created by Takeshi Tanizaki was designed as a security device to help him catch the person stealing company secrets. Takeshi met in secret with Makita, an HR employee at Myojo Technics, in order to learn when the thief would strike next.

Upon catching Kazuomi in the act, Takeshi attacked the thief but was wounded in the process. As Kazuomi attempted to escape, his rope came undone and he began to fall. Takeshi grabbed the rope in an attempt to save the culprit's life but was subsequently strangled in the process, unbeknownst to Kazuomi.
