Synopsis
Ninomiya Minato, a detective with the Kanagawa Prefectural Police’s Organised Crime Division, proposed to his girlfriend Nanami Yuka, who works in the crime lab, on the fifth anniversary of their relationship. She is the person who helped him regain his trust in people after leading a destructive life following the death of his parents in his childhood. However, Yuka gets entangled in a suspicious elevator accident and meets an untimely death. The devastation that Ninomiya feels sends him to the depths of despair. While pursuing the truth behind her death, he obtains the mysterious app named Code, which can make any wish come true, and enters “I want to know the truth of Nanami Yuka’s death” with some doubt. He is sent a video file titled “The criminal who killed Nanami Yuka”. It shows a man from a maintenance company peering downstairs right after the accident when the elevator lift doors opened. But there is a big price to pay for using Code. Meanwhile, Shiina Kazuki, a freelance magazine journalist, has been following cases related to Code in the hope of getting a scoop. There is a hint of its existence behind a university student Nakagawa Satoru who switched a gang’s attache case with another one containing tightly packed bags of white powder while they were distracted. Ninomiya’s Organised Crime Division, which had been tipped off about a transaction of stimulants, caught the gang leader red-handed.
