Synopsis: Five outstanding researchers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s crime lab are gathered and given powers for special investigations in response to diversified modern crimes. They are called the Scientific Taskforce or ST for short. The new, elite Inspector Yurine Tomohisa (Okada Masaki) becomes the ST’s commanding officer. Meanwhile, a shooting rampage breaks out. Five people are shot and one of them, a female company employee, dies. The media reports this as Japan’s first case of indiscriminate shooting.

Because no information is coming in from the investigtation task force, the ST leave for the crime scene to establish proof that the case was premeditated. In the midst of this, the body of a female who was strangled to death is discovered. Aoyama points out that this murder is connected to the shooting incident. The case heads in an unexpected direction … …
