Story
Shirato Takamasa is an investigator who works for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s Criminal Investigation Liaison Division. He memorises the faces of wanted persons and only relies on this to spot them in crowds. Shirato watches crowds come and go in busy shopping districts everyday with his subordinates Ando Kanae and Tani Ryohei, in search of these fugitives with his outstanding memory and ability to distinguish features. One day, he sees an unlikely face in the crowd. It is that of Sunami Toru, a senior detective who was supposed to have died mysteriously four years ago. He was an outstanding detective as a investigator and a man whom Shirato admired. Just when Shirato is about to dismiss this as an illusion, he hears baffling rumours about Sunami. As Shirato investigates the case, both the Public Security Division and the Chinese mafia get into action and his life gets targeted before he realises it. In addition, his girlfriend Chiharu’s baffling behaviour starts to raise his suspicions … …
