Kaori, Ryo’s pragmatic partner, is more focused on the generous reward.
Though, this seemingly straightforward case quickly unravels, becoming intertwined with a far more dangerous inquiry led by Saeko nogami of the Metropolitan Police. She’s investigating Zoltech, a biotech company developing “Angel Dust” – a terrifying technology designed to transform soldiers into superhumans.
