Story
In 2014, a series of murders targeting women takes place in Kawasaki City. All the victims have been killed as if they had hanged and these are dubbed the “Hanging Murders” in public. The police investigation runs into difficulties without clues on the murderer. However, Detective Iguchi Tomokazu from the Kanagawa Prefectural Police’s First Investigation Division, has his eye on a man whom he suspects to kill for pleasure. This man is Nogi Naoya who lives in an old apartment. Nogi is actually Yaginuma Masato, the victim in the sensational Akishima mother and son kidnapping case. When he was 6 years old, he was kidnapped with his mother and was found near death. He lies about his identity, erases his traces in public and lives as if he is holding his breath. However, the police increasingly suspect him. Meanwhile, Nogi reaches out to Asada Yoshika who lives next door. The two of them grew up in less fortunate circumstances and seem to connect with each other. He gets her involved as he tries to escape the police dragnet but comes to realise some facts. What is his true motive?
