Five years have passed since Kuryu Kohei's transfer from Tokyo to Ishigaki, and then to Sapporo. He ends up in a small town of Nijigaura in Yamaguchi Prefecture. There, he investigates a murder case involving a local enterprise, Kamoi Group, and the people related to it. Everyone in town thinks he's innocent except Kuryu, whose unorthodox investigation methods perplex not only the townspeople, but his colleagues as well.

The special episode constructs a compelling clash between societal conformity and one man's rigid sense of justice. It relies on the murder investigation to explore themes of integrity within a complacent system.
What lingers after the mystery is solved is the quiet portrait of a man who remains a hero precisely when no one expects him to be. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Kensaku Sawada
