Story
Several days have passed since a girl was kidnapped and the suspect Sakita Hiroshi has maintained his silence. In the interrogation room, veteran detective Tsutsui Michihiro tries to make Sakita confess and proceeds with the interrogation as if clutching at something. Beside him, note-taker Nishino Keisuke nervously records the proceedings. In the middle of this, a gorgeous beauty suddenly shows up in the interrogation room. Nishino is flustered by the sudden appearance of an outsider. However, she smiles at him and introduces herself as Tateoka Ema, the person in charge of the interrogation. Sakita is captivated by her beauty. Ema is a detective who uses behavioural psychology to make suspects confess. She settles down to interrogate Sakita who forgets where he is and cracks jokes. Ema flirts with Sakita and their exchange drags on. Meanwhile, a dismembered dead body has been discovered in Tokyo around the same time as the kidnapping of the girl. The body parts are scattered in various places in what is clearly a murder case. The First Investigative Division has put many investigators on this case and is short-handed. Even so, Ema continues her conversation with Sakita in the interrogation room. Then she gradually shifts to the topic of the case. It was not merely idle talk. Ema had been observing Sakita’s instinctive expressions and gestures closely as she talked to him. After determining that she has observed him sufficiently, her attitude completely changes and she goes on the offensive.
