However, one year later, Jinnai Gen, a former management consultant who was arrested for mediating in a bribe from a major construction company to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in a bid-rigging case, is murdered by someone after his release. Keigo and Minagawa Kosaku from Midorisaka Police Precinct investigate this case. Meanwhile, the grandson of Kobayakawa Shotaro, a lawmaker of the Lower House, is kidnapped. Kobayakawa is rumoured to be the next leader of his party and this comes just as he was receiving numerous threats of death. Keigo is designated to negotiate with the kidnapper who demands that the he bring the same amount of ransom money in the same way to the same place for the handover as when Yugo was abducted 21 years ago.
