When Kudo Shinichi gets into a fight with the friends he plays soccer with and goes off alone to kill time at Beika Park...
He unexpectedly discovers a corpse beneath a tree that looks exactly like him.
At the same time, a transfer student named "Miyano Shiho" arrives in his class, and Amuro Tooru, the older brother from next door, disappears without a trace. The new neighbors are a father and daughter. When the father comes home drunk, Shinichi hears him call out to the window:
"Ran."
A black-haired man with a sharp gaze begins passing by his house more and more often. An unidentified murderer is active in the neighborhood. His parents have been away for a year, and when he picks up the receiver, all he hears is the busy signal.
Amid the fog, even raising both hands cannot reach the bottom of the well.
When the world deceives you, should you be trapped by fear, or let curiosity lead the way?
He gathers clues, pieces together the truth, and waits for a chance to turn things around.
At last, an opportunity arrives. A stranger rings his doorbell. With a pair of blue catlike eyes, he asks:
"My friend Furuya Rei has gone missing. Have you seen him?"
