Case-Based Deduction: The Perfect Crime

Mystery and deduction | Urban crime | Genius detective | A battle between black and white

Bai Li, a boy who survived the massacre of his family, possesses deductive abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

But he did not become a detective to uphold justice.

He moves between the worlds of law and crime in Tokyo, unraveling one locked-room mystery and bizarre crime after another.

Others solve cases to find the truth. He observes crime, devising the perfect crime of his own.

At a dilapidated agency in Higashi-Jujo, a gang boss arrives with a shocking secret, and a locked-room disappearance case begins.

Fujiwara Aika, a trainee police officer at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is deeply drawn to this dangerous, dazzling genius.

On one side, serial murder cases twist and turn, while crimes buried in Tokyo's darkest corners continue to surface.

On the other, reason and desire pull at each other, as a dangerous detective and an upright policewoman become entangled by fate.

"I study every crime in the world, all to create a crime without a single flaw."

"But I never imagined someone would try to pull me out of the darkness."

Truth and lies contend; reason and emotion collide.

As the perfect crime he has dreamed of draws near, will he choose the abyss, or reach for a glimmer of light?
