Story
Todo Hinako is a rookie detective who has been assigned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigative Division. She never forgets case information once she has illustrated it. One day, the division gets word about the discovery of a dead man called Miyahara Akio. Hearing his name, Hinako immediately reports that this man was arrested thrice on suspicion of indecent assault. Her boss Atsuta Iwao is surprised by these words. But in fact, Hinako has memorised all the unsolved cases that took place in Tokyo and the list of sex offense suspects in the last ten years. She visits a crime scene for the first time with senior detectives Shouji Yasuhisa and Kurashima Keiichiro. All present are speechless in front of the dead body. The lower half has been cold-bloodedly chopped up with a knife. Only Hinako is unperturbed. It turns out that the condition of the dead body is exactly like that of the body of a high school girl who was killed three years ago. Furthermore, the police had regarded Miyahara as a suspect in the unsolved murder at that time. Shouji soon finds Miyahara’s smartphone at the scene. Inside the phone is gruesome footage of Miyahara being assaulted by someone. Hinako later interviews the victim who was attacked by Miyahara and comes across Nakajima Tamotsu, a doctor of psychosomatic medicine, at a house. In addition, she learns that the victim who lived in this house, had committed suicide three months ago, four years after the case … … At the same time, the results of the autopsy on the dead body come out. According to medical examiner Ishigami Taeko, Miyahara’s injuries all match the injuries on the body of the high school girl who died three years ago. However, she says these were self-inflicted by Miyahara. In other words, Miyahara’s death was a suicide. But this does not sit well with Atsuta because it is inconceivable that he did that to himself. Meanwhile, footage at the time of Miyahara’s death turns up on the internet. It appears that the recorded footage was automatically transmitted on a sharing website and seems that someone had planned this beforehand. This can no longer be treated as a simple suicide. At that point, a dead female body is discovered at a park … … With the support of the individualistic members of Team Atsuta and Taeko who is called the god of death, Hinako investigates a series of baffling, bizarre murder cases. There is a darkness in her heart and she has an interest in the psychology of murderers. Her destiny is set in motion by her encounters with various criminals.
