One night, beside the Kirin statue on Nihonbashi, known as the starting point of Tokyo, a man staggered and fell, eventually dying from excessive blood loss. The deceased was named Takumi Aoyagi (played by Takashi Nakai), the head of Kinzaki Metal Manufacturing Company. What puzzled the police was that Qingliu did not immediately call an ambulance when her abdomen was stabbed. Instead, she endured the pain and walked for as long as eight minutes. On the same night, the unemployed young man, Fuyuki Yashima (played by Takashi Miura), was seriously injured by a truck and fell into a coma. Because he was carrying Aoyagi's briefcase, the police regarded Hachima as a key suspect. The various doubts in this case have left detective Kyoichiro Kaga (played by Hiroshi Abe) of Nihonbashi Police Station in deep thought. Not only did he visit Aoi's family and Hachima's cohabiting girlfriend, Nakahara Kaori (played by Nao Hana), but he also attempted to retrace Aoi's life footprints near Nihonbashi before her death. Various mysteries and emotional entanglements gradually came to light... This film is adapted from "The Wings of the Kirin", which the renowned detective novelist Keigo Higashino claims to be the "supreme masterpiece" of his series.[Collapse]
