Story
People tell lies with words through their cerebral neocortex. However, the moment before a person does so, the mental reflexes of the limbic system will be apparent. There is a female detective who can see through the lies of suspects by reading their “micro-gestures” which only appear for 0.2 seconds. Her name is Tateoka Ema. Called Enma-sama or the King of Hades, she uses behavioural psychology to solve cases. Any suspect who is targeted by Ema will eventually be exposed and forced to make a full confession. On this day, Ema interrogates Miyade Koji, a top investigator in the First Investigative Division who has solved numerous cases. When she hears that he acted in self defence and shot a criminal involved in a robbery and murder dead during an investigation, she knows that he is lying. While all the police officers show sympathy for Miyade, Ema is the only one who suspects there is more to the case than meets the eye. Miyade who is very familiar with police procedures, tries to outmanoeuvre Ema but Ema has a trick up her sleeve. Then the shocking truth is revealed.
