64: Part 2

In 1989, known as the 64th year of the Shouwa era in Japan, a notorious unsolved case involving the kidnapping and murder of a young girl, referred to as “64 (Rokuyon),” emerged within the Criminal Investigation Department of the Prefectural Police. Fourteen years later, this case remains the department’s most significant unresolved issue, with the statute of limitations looming. By 2002, Yoshinobu Mikami, a former detective who originally led the “Rokuyon” investigation, reluctantly transitions to a role as a Public Relations Officer in the Police Affairs Department. In his new position, Mikami struggles to manage relationships with reporters, especially as a new case arises that mirrors the “Rokuyon” incident precisely.
