■Episode 4 synopsis
Aoi (Anne Nakamura) and Kosaka (Hiroshi Yokoyama) question Makoto Bito (Hajime Inoue), who was meeting Wakana (Yuka Mukaizato) on the day she was murdered. Megumi (Manami Satsukawa) sees the tension between Aoi and Bito. Later, Megumi tells Aoi the truth about how Fuwa Sho’s (Yoshihiko Hosoda) sister was murdered 16 years ago. Furthermore, Aoi learns from Momo (Risa Oda) that she told her 16 years ago that Rei was being stalked by Aoi’s father, Yasuo (Tomoharu Hasegawa). Aoi is confused as she begins to doubt her father, whom she believed in. Meanwhile, Fuwa is determined to be the culprit in Wakana Umezaki’s murder, and the investigation is decided to end. Aoi asks Ichijou (Takashi Okabe) if this is a decision made by her superiors, but he replies that it is a decision she has made.

Aoi visits Megumi’s house and tries to hear Megumi’s story about her father again. While the two are talking, Megumi’s daughter Shiho disappears from sight. While Aoi and Megumi are desperately searching for their girlfriend Shiho, she receives a threatening phone call from the person who kidnapped Shiho. The criminal’s request to Megumi is, “You all tell her family. Confess the truth about the serial murders that took place 16 years ago and apologize.” A new incident occurs.
