The next day, the investigation task force receives a phone call from the criminal, who calls himself Tremi (Ptolemy), during a meeting to discuss the investigation of the case.

The police gradually find out that the two bizarre murders are connected to an unsolved case 17 years ago. As they proceed with the investigation, the criminal’s surprising actual target soon emerges … …

I guess SPEC rip off poster–> https://opionator.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/keizoku-2-spec.jpg
It’s similar but different in that it references its own material. The first episode was intense and gripping and a bit unsettling. I think WOWOW might deliver yet another winner this year.
