Detectives from the First Investigative Division of the prefectural police arrive shortly after. The members of the Fourth Section, who are prevented from investigating by the First Investigative Division, sadly leave the scene. Nonetheless, they secretly initiate their own inquiry. Three days later, Satonaka Keiichiro, the new chief of the Fourth Section, arrives. Satonaka believes he has been transferred to the precinct as punishment for speaking out against the unfair appointment of the prefectural police chief's nephew. However, Maejima Ryuzo, the head of police administration who assigned him to Minato-cho Police Precinct, actually wants Satonaka to monitor Togashi and the Fourth Section. Maejima warns Satonaka about a "negative rumor" surrounding the Fourth Section, alleging that they abuse their high arrest rate and frequently defy the orders of the prefectural police. They are even suspected of engaging in various illegal activities, such as coercing confessions, having close ties with criminal organizations, and accepting bribes. Tokunaga Yasushi, the former section head who was investigating these allegations, tragically fell to his death while pursuing a suspect on a rooftop. Satonaka questions whether Tokunaga's death was truly an accident. Despite initially approaching his new team with caution, Satonaka finds Togashi and the others to be unexpectedly friendly and skilled detectives, particularly Togashi who is described as charismatic and brave. They provide Satonaka with a detailed update on the murder case from three days prior, stating they are currently searching for witnesses as per the prefectural police's theory that it was a random attack. Satonaka is relieved by their professionalism. However, he soon discovers that their entire report was fabricated...!

In 2008, there was a tragic incident involving the death of Sudo Isao, a dealer of pre-owned cars, in Shizuoka Prefecture. Detective Kusaka Satoru, working at Susuno Precinct of the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, begins investigating Sudo's background. Through his investigation, Kusaka discovers that Sudo had a son named Obata Mamoru from a previous marriage, who was tragically killed in a kidnapping case in Shizuoka back in 1974. In 1988, a special task force was established by the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, led by police chief Hashibami Yasuhide, just before the statute of limitations on the kidnapping case expired. Shigeto Seiichiro, a non-career officer who had risen to the position of superintendent, was appointed as the director of this task force, which consisted of six skilled detectives, to re-investigate the case. Kusaka is puzzled as to why Sudo, who had been living in Tokyo for over two decades following his son's death, was murdered in Shizuoka Prefecture. He believes that revisiting the kidnapping and murder of Sudo's son will bring clarity to the current case. Kusaka seeks help from Shigeto, who had left the police force long ago, and together they reach out to Mamoru's mother, Saeko, and her sister, Rie, as they get closer to uncovering the true culprit.
