Story
Makabe Yukiko, the head of the Special Investigation Team’s Third Section, prides herself on her superior negotiation skills. She tries to convince a criminal who is holding a bus hostage. However, an unanticipated situation arises and she fails. Yukiko is held fully responsible and is ordered to transfer to the Emergency Investigation Response Team, which goes by the name of Kintori. The director, Kajiyama Katsutoshi, whom she has always not got along well with, heads the Kintori. It is a professional team of outstanding interrogators put together to carry out interrogations, particularly for cases that are deemed important. Yukiko embarks on a new chapter at the Kintori surrounded by idiosyncratic veterans Hishimoto Susumu, Nakata Zenjiro, Koishikawa Haruo. She also determines the truth of an unsolved case deeply linked to her past … … At that moment, a man wearing leather gloves calls out to a female elementary school student and asks her to put a cookie tin in a police box in the Tokyo metropolis. This tin explodes inside the police box, and claims the life of one police officer. From a tip-off obtained from an anonymous caller’s and the statement of the elementary school student, detectives Watanabe Tetsuji and Kenmotsu Daijiro of the First Investigative Division establish that the man with leather gloves is the famous lawyer Fujishiro Tamotsu who only undertakes cases involving wrongful convictions. But Fujishiro completely denies the charges and even holds his own under the Kintori’s interrogation. Meanwhile, a man claiming to be the real criminal turns himself in to the police. However, the man simply will not divulge his identity, and says with arrogance, “I surrendered because I want all of you to recall who I am.” Furthermore, the man has planted an unconventional bomb at some place to claim the lives of countless residents. It has been rigged to explode 42 hours later. Yukiko is picked by the man and immediately starts to interrogate him. But he is extremely formidable and skillfully parries her questions no matter how she presses him. With a time limit of just 42 hours, will Yukiko and the Kintori be able to uncover the man’s true identity and motive, and save peoples lives?
