With one year to go before his retirement, Ozeki Tatsuro is transferred to the Criminal Affairs Division of Omori Rinko Police Precinct. It is certainly not something he is thrilled about after finding a sense of satisfaction in the Police Affairs Division away from investigation scenes, but he accepts it matter-of-factly and undertakes investigations day and night. In the course of his work, he visits Shizue, the wife of Maekawa Hiroki, a senior detective who has passed away, to pay his condolences. Meanwhile, Itagaki Kohei resumes freelance writing. During a visit to a magazine to sell his material, he gets paired with a spirited journalist Katayama Asuko to cover stories. Despite his wife’s concern, he seeks a new path as a journalist. One day, the dead body of a woman named Kimizuka Hitomi is discovered in a riverbed in Ota Ward. She has a child from a former marriage and Ozeki learns that this child’s name has not been entered in a family register. While tracing the movements of the victim, Ozeki starts to have misgivings about the course of the investigation. He looks into a past case, but the person who was in charge of this case in which there was a forced confession is the senior detective who was once a mentor to him. Itagaki is strangely pursuing the same case as Ozeki. The two of them encounter each other once again at the crime scene.
