Synopsis

Detective Utsumi Kaoru from the Metro PD is investigating the case of an abandoned corpse belonging to a woman who’s been missing for several years. A former male suspect who’d been found innocent once again finds himself questioned as the alleged perpetrator, but–as last time–is released due to a lack of evidence. The case grows more intricate when the man provokes the dead woman’s bereaved family, and someone ends up dead–the cause of which cannot be identified, and the individual suspected has retained an alibi. Making no headway, Detective Utsumi requests the assistance of physicist Yukawa Manabu upon his return from the Sates.
