Inside the charred house, two bodies lay scattered. The man, his face unrecognizable, had rope-like ash around his neck, while the woman had been strangled and her death staged as a suicide by hanging in the bathroom. The scene was gruesome, and the identities of the victims put everyone on edge--Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly member Yasuyuki Todo and his wife, former popular actress Eriko Futaba. The police mobilized fully. Metropolitan Police Department's Godai and his new partner, Detective Yamao, traveled to various locations to investigate the victims' interpersonal relationships. It turned out that the Todo couple had been teacher and student at the same high school. The more Godai investigated, the stronger his premonition became: the key clue lay hidden in the Todo couple's youth more than forty years ago.
