Detective Shinichi Tagawa from the top investigative team at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is tasked with looking into an unresolved case involving a robbery that resulted in a double homicide at a bar near Nakano Station. The incident occurred 5 years ago when a masked robber stole money from a bar staff member and tragically killed both a veterinarian and a gangster. Initially, it was believed that the culprit might be a foreigner. The two victims had no connection to each other and were at the bar waiting for separate individuals. As Detective Tagawa delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the veterinarian's two computers were also taken from his residence after the murders. This leads Detective Tagawa to consider the possibility that the motive behind the killings was not purely financial, but rather a calculated act targeting the victims. During the investigation, Detective Tagawa visits Meat Box, a meat processing facility, where he uncovers more clues. Additionally, he crosses paths once again with journalist Masumi Tsuruta, who is pursuing leads regarding potential misconduct related to the meat products at Meat Box based on a tip from a reader.
