A woman was killed in a tenement, and the tenant disappeared. There was no breath of life in the room, and living in it seemed ready to face death at any time.
A calendar was found at the crime scene, on which the names of the twelve bridges in Tokyo were written by month. Detective Kaga Kyoichiro was stunned: the same thing had appeared among his mother's belongings.
