Chimmoku No Parade

[Machine Translation] A popular girl in town who suddenly went missing was found dead a few years later. The suspect is a man who was acquitted of the murder of a young girl that Kusanagi was once in charge of. But this time, too, he is released for lack of evidence. Furthermore, when the man appears in front of the bereaved families, an atmosphere of hatred and righteous indignation covers the entire town. On the day of the autumn festival parade, how was the revenge plot accomplished? How was he killed? What about the alibi trick? When Kusanagi is confronted with an extremely difficult question, he asks for help from Yukawa, who has returned from the U.S.
