　 And within these limited seven days, a kidnapping case of a young girl occurred in a certain place. The kidnappers demanded a huge ransom of 20 million yen and skillfully negotiated with the victim's family and the investigators. Although the victim's father (played by Masatoshi Nagase) paid the ransom as agreed, the kidnappers still brutally killed the girl. As Japan is at a critical juncture of transition between the old and new eras, the case with the code name "64" has not attracted much attention. Even more than a decade later, this unresolved case remains an unforgettable knot in the hearts of many law enforcement officers. Yoshinobu Mikami (played by Hiroshi Sato), who was once a case handler, is now working as a publicity officer at the Gunma Prefectural Police Station, constantly shuttling between his superiors and the media. The deadline of "64" is drawing nearer and nearer, and people seem to recall this enigmatic case once again... This film is adapted from the eponymous detective novel by Hideo Yokoyama.[Collapse]
