Story
One day, Nozomi, the newborn daughter of Chikamori Hiroshi, who has a PhD in physical engineering and is described as a candidate for a Nobel Prize, and his wife Yuko, a former top track and field athlete, is kidnapped from Jonan University Hospital. She is just one week old and if she is not given water every three hours, her life will be in danger. Why was Nozomi taken? Detective Hayami Yuri of the First Investigative Division’s Special Team, who is in her eighth month of pregnancy, is suddenly summoned by Assistant Inspector Himura Kengo, and ordered to observe the baby’s mother as well as to conduct an undercover investigation of the maternity ward. Posing as a couple with a younger detective, Dobashi Fukusuke, Yuri infiltrates the place and sheds light on the interpersonal relationships within the hospital. She turns suspicious eyes on Susami Seijiro, a gynaecologist without an alibi at the time of the crime. Why did he get a phone call from the kidnapper demanding a ransom? What seems to be the kidnapping of a famous couple’s baby for ransom, changes as the investigation progresses and Yuri finds out a shocking truth.
