Alibi Kuzushi Uketamawarimasu

20-year-old Mitani Tokino (Hamabe Minami) runs a clock shop on a street far from the city centre. Besides repairing clocks at the shop which she inherited from her late grandfather (Morimoto Leo), the inquisitive Tokino is also a well-known closet sleuth. She will chip away at watertight alibis related to clocks and time for 5,000 yen on each occasion, and get to the bottom of the truth. Saji Yoshiyuki (Yasuda Ken), a career police officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, was demoted to Nano Prefectural Police Headquarters after having the tables turned on him in his attempt to expose the corruption of an opposing faction. He ends up lodging at the main house behind Tokino's clock shop in an unexpected turn of events. After feeling terribly conflicted, the proud Saji secretly leaks investigation information and asks Tokino to undermine their alibis. Although he complains, he finds himself becoming a regular client and they partner to solve cases.
