Seven Witnesses
About This Novel
A murder broke out on the streets of Tokyo. Based on on-site investigation and witness testimony, the police arrested the suspect Nobuo Saeki and sentenced the young man to nine years in prison. Soon, Saeki died of illness in prison. A year later, Saeki's father plundered seven witnesses related to the case to an isolated island. He carefully built a street scene of the crime scene to verify the authenticity of the testimony one by one. Under the witness of the detective Totsukawa who was brought to the island together, the case was restored bit by bit, and there seemed to be no sign of overturning the case until a witness was suddenly killed...

A collection of stereotypes in a certain sense
Reasoning is okay
The premise of kidnapping a police officer and seven witnesses and going to an isolated island to solve the case is too fictional. Each told a little lie, provided perjury, and ended up identifying the wrong killer. Not all prisoners who have been wrongly accused have help in overturning their cases.
