Inquiry

Print

In 2002, a kidnapping has eerie parallels with ‘six-four’, an unsolved case from 1989 on which the Statute of Limitations looms one year hence.
The year 1989 began in Japan as ‘Showa 64’, the 64th year of the reign of the Showa Emperor Hirohito. With his death on January 8th, a new era began, and 1989 became ‘Heisei 1’.
On January 5th, a young girl is kidnapped. The kidnapper escapes with 20 million yen, but the girl is found murdered. Now, 14 years later, her father, a few aging police investigators, and the kidnapper himself still live in that week, in the case they have called ‘six-four’.
Former Detective Mikami has been moved from Investigations to the Administrative side of the Gunma Prefectural Police, where as Chief PR Officer he battles a recalcitrant press corps, Administration bureaucrats concerned only with the machinations of the National Police Agency in Tokyo, and his ex-colleagues suspicious of him and resentful of Tokyo’s attempts to assert control over the way they do their jobs. As the 15-year Statute of Limitations looms over the ‘6-4’ investigation, Tokyo is about to usurp the right to appoint Gunma’s Chief of Detectives. But now another girl has gone missing...

헤이세이 14년(2002년). 예전 형사부에서 「64」 수사를 담당했던형사 미카미. 지금은 경무부 홍보실에서 홍보관으로 근무중이다. 기자들과의 불화, 상사와의 다툼, 형사부와 경무부의 대립이 이어지던중에 64를 그대로 모방한 새로운 유괴사건이 발생한다. 형사부와 경무부,미해결의 64와 새로운 유괴사건, 그리고 행방불명되는 외동딸. 거친 파도처럼 이어지는 놀라운 일들이 점점 미카미를 덮쳐온다.
西元1989年在日本被稱為「昭和64年」。隨著昭和天皇在1月8日的逝世,昭和64年在短短7天內就結束。在這7天中發生的一起少女誘拐謀殺事件,通稱「64事件」。

Why was Oshitani, who lived in Shiga, killed in Tokyo?
Eventually, the detectives’ inquiries lead them to a theater director named Hiromi Asai (Nanako Matsushima).
They learn that Oshitani came to Tokyo to visit her former classmate Asai, but again come up with nothing when searching for connections between Asai and Koshikawa, and their investigation grinds to a halt.
