With only one year left until his retirement, Ozeki Tatsuro is reassigned to the Criminal Affairs Division at Omori Rinko Police Precinct. Although he had found fulfillment in the Police Affairs Division and preferred to avoid investigation scenes, he accepts the new assignment without much enthusiasm and dedicates himself to the investigations. While working on a case, he visits Shizue, the widow of Maekawa Hiroki, a senior detective who has recently passed away. On the other hand, Itagaki Kohei returns to freelance writing and teams up with the lively journalist Katayama Asuko for a magazine assignment. Despite his wife's worries, Itagaki decides to pursue a career in journalism. The discovery of a woman's body, Kimizuka Hitomi, in a riverbed in Ota Ward reveals that her child from a previous marriage is not listed in any family register. As Ozeki delves deeper into the victim's background, he becomes suspicious of the investigation's direction. A previous case involving a coerced confession leads Ozeki to question the integrity of his former mentor, a senior detective. Strangely, Itagaki becomes involved in the same case as Ozeki, leading them to cross paths once again at the crime scene.
