While at work, Koichi becomes interested in a cold case involving the disappearance of three members of a family leaving only an unreliable witness, Saki Honda.

While visiting the crime scene, Koichi and Nogami try to talk to Saki, but she refuses as she doesn't quite remember the events leading up to her family's disappearance.
