The case files of a most unfortunate detective Detective Oshii is brilliant. His flair for seeing through the mystery is unequaled. And yet… at the very last minute, his finger points to the wrong culprit! Always so close to the truth, and yet so far—. While the credit goes to everyone else but him, there never seems to be a shortage of cases for the "great" Detective Oshii!
