Synopsis

Mitani Tokino (played by Hamabe Minami) is a young watchmaker running her grandfather’s inherited shop in a shopping district of Nano Prefecture. While repairing watches, she plans to start offering “alibi breaking” services for cases involving time, charging 5,000 yen upon success.

 

Tokino meets Saji Yoshiyuki (played by Yasuda Ken), a supervisor newly transferred to the Prefectural Police Investigation Division, when they witness a man being hit by a car. Before losing consciousness, the man whispers to them, “I just killed someone in an apartment.”

 

The victim turns out to be famous mystery novelist Okuyama Shinichiro (played by Maruyama Tomomi). At the apartment mentioned by Okuyama, Saji joins detective Tokai Yuma (played by Narita Ryo), section chief Makimura Takumi (played by Katsumura Masanobu), and medical examiner Higuchi Hideto (played by Emoto Tokio), where they discover the body of Nakajima Kasumi (played by Mori Kanna).

 

However, their investigation reveals that Okuyama had an ironclad alibi making the crime impossible! Unable to solve this difficult case, Saji secretly requests Tokino’s “alibi breaking” services. Can this unlikely duo solve this challenging mystery?
