The episode delves deep into a family business, Aizawa Foods, where trust and deceit run parallel. The main characters include the company's president, Aizawa Kenzo, his elder son Ryoichi, his younger son Reiji, and the managing director Bando Masaru.
The episode begins with a gripping sequence in which Kenzo is found unconscious in the company's cold storage by Masaru, immediately drawing the viewer into the eerie mystery of the story. Although it is a small business, the complex relationships quickly unfold. Aizawa Foods is portrayed as a tightly-knit company where all involved are closely connected not only by blood but also by their individual ambitions and loyalties. The sons are managing directors, while Bando, a long-time employee, holds an important position as Kenzo's right-hand man.
Throughout the episode, we witness many contrasting facets of the characters' personalities. The bitter rivalry between the brothers Ryoichi and Reiji repeatedly comes to the fore, heightening the tension of the narrative. Their complex relationship becomes clear when Ryoichi, despite the obvious differences between the brothers, refuses to believe that Reiji would resort to violence against their father.
The tensions escalate when Kenzo's briefcase is found at the crime scene, leading Detective Mori Kogoro to draw a series of conclusions. This, along with Kenzo's vague memory of seeing a silhouette resembling Reiji as he locked the warehouse door, makes Reiji the prime suspect.
However, the story takes a turn when it is revealed that Kenzo's briefcase was a recently received birthday gift, known only to the family. This detail brings Masaru into the picture, who had mentioned seeing the briefcase in the warehouse, exposing his involvement in the incident. The motive behind Masaru's actions is uncovered as an attempt to prove the brothers' incompetence and seize control of the company.
The final act takes an exciting turn as Mori, with the help of Kenzo's younger son Reiji and other clues, confronts Masaru and exposes his plan to frame the brothers and take over the company. Masaru's confession of his actions, driven by an obsession to save the company from what he perceives as the brothers' incompetence, forms the dramatic climax of the episode.
