Story
Detective Kisaragi Toko’s most trusted partner Takano Hideaki is due to transfer from the Eleventh Section of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigative Division to the Public Security Bureau in a few days. In the midst of this, a wealthy man called Amano Hideo is brutally murdered in his own home. His dead body is discovered with “blue flowers” arranged in his neck which has been slit open, and his wife Mayumi has been missing since the day of the crime. While the investigation task force search for Mayumi as the key witness, an email claiming responsibility for the murder and hinting at Mayumi’s whereabouts is addressed to a newspaper from the criminal who calls himself Cluster 16. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Murder Analysis Unit are swamped by a wave of bizarre murders. With Takano’s impending transfer, the responsibilities and expectations for Toko grow. However, the investigation of the case runs into difficulty and Toko’s impatience and anxiety mounts at what seems to be a dead end.
