It is an unusual situation for two conflicting teams to be on one case. Kuchiki fumes that it is Team 1’s case if Team 1 comes on board while Murase gives his team a pep talk, calling Team 1 termites and warning that the case will be consuming. Murase looks around the crime scene and puts his instincts to work. Kuchiki’s team obtain an eyewitness report about a suspicious-looking white car from a resident Yasuda Akihisa (Imai Yuki). Meanwhile, Murase heads to over to see Yoko’s classmates Kumejima (Fukushi Seiji) and Mochida (Ishigaki Yuma) who are junior high school teachers. The two stubborn and proud men clash with each other. Will Murase or Kuchiki be the first to get to the truth?
