Keiji Yugami

Yugami Yukimasa is a detective of Ukiyo Police Precinct’s Violent Crimes Section. He is proper, disciplined and an eccentric who dislikes working together with people. However, once there is a case, he defies common logic and labels, and simply chases after facts. It does not matter if the case he is dealing with involves a minister of the government, a local teacher trusted by everyone in the town or even a serial killer. He questions the people and things which everyone believe in, and keenly observes the darkness lurking in the depths of people’s hearts with no preconceived notions. His partner is Hanyu Torao, an ambitious and righteous young detective. As Yugami has no qualms about illegally investigating cases, he is a nuisance to Hanyu who wants to quickly progress in his career. The two of them make an odd pair as they go about solving all sorts of cases. Even Kanno Rika who is heads the section and joined the police at the same time as Yugami, has a hard time with him for doing as he pleases. One day, the dead body of Oshida Mai, a female university student, is found face up under an overhead bridge. Her estimated time of death is 1 am and there is a high possibility that Mai had fallen down the stairs while on the way home after having drinks. However, once Yugami sees the dead body, he senses something and involves Hanyu in the investigation he starts on his own. He also obtains information from a hacker Hikawa Kazumi and goes to meet Mai’s friend Kurama Aiko who drank with her on the day of the incident. Then Aiko reveals that almost one week ago, Mai caught a molester inside a train. Because she accepted cash from the man, she could not report him to the police and began to face harassment from that night. Yugami and Hanyu visit Ukiyodai Station where the molest took place and hear from a station staff, Sakaki Nozomi, who had been on duty that day. Nozomi and Hanyu turn out to be former junior high school classmates, and they find a man suspected of molest with her assistance.
