Amidst a dispute between the public relations office of D Prefectural Police and the correspondents club regarding the anonymity of perpetrators, it has been decided that a director from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will visit the family of the victim in a significant unsolved case from 1989, just a week before the statute of limitations expires. The case involves the kidnapping and murder of Shoko-chan, which remains the most heinous crime in the history of D Prefectural Police. The family of the victim has declined the director's offer to extend condolences. A strict confidentiality order has been issued for all individuals involved in the case, including the investigators from that time. This has created a barrier between the Criminal Investigations Department and the Police Affairs Department. Additionally, a mysterious memo has surfaced, followed by a new kidnapping that bears a striking resemblance to the 1989 case just before the director's scheduled visit.
