In this episode, the strange and bizarre case of a high school girl’s disappearance, which the W detectives started investigating in the fourth episode, takes an unexpected turn.
At the request of Yuka Takahashi (Ryoko Fujino), a high school girl and friend of the missing girl, Misaki Shioji, the seemingly easy case of finding a person begins. However, as the search progresses, it is revealed that the underground passage under the railway where Shioji disappeared has recently become a “hotspot” for abduction and kidnapping cases. The two detectives suspect a connection to the abduction and kidnapping cases.
It has been over two days since Shioji disappeared. If their assumptions are correct, her chances of survival are decreasing every moment. ”If we don’t solve the mystery right now… someone will die,” says Todoriba, who quickly seeks to solve the case, and together with Kei Utsugi (Shizuka Ishibashi), a detective from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigation Division, and his former university professor, Koshiro Amakawa (Atsuro Watabe), who is well-versed in criminal sociology, they head towards Shioji’s rescue.
The urgent search eventually leads to an unforgettable event for Todoriba and Himuro. Will Shioji be found safe? And what is the unexpected clue that the W detectives will follow to uncover the truth behind the unimaginable event? As the shocking developments continue, the kindness of the two detectives becomes apparent.
Furthermore, the unknown relationship that still shrouds the W detectives in mystery will finally be revealed. And during the airing of the fifth episode, there will be a special surprise packed with Todoriba’s essence. It will be a rare 30 seconds that can only be seen on terrestrial television.
