This is the very first episode of the TV series.
Kineo Tabata(田端 甲子男), a self-proclaimed "model citizen," takes Sergeant Kaoru hostage by threatening him with dynamites Tabata attached to his own body. Tabata forces Sergeant Kaoru to lead him to the Commissioner's Office, demanding that the commissioner show up and talk to him. Inspector Ukyō, as usual, finds a way to end the situation without bloodshed.
After being scolded by Superintendent Uchimura for this incident, Sergeant Kaoru mopes around wanders around Tokyo instead of going to work. While using the restroom in the Daikoku Department Store(大黒デパート), he sees a desperate man, Eisuke Miki(三木 英輔), run into a bathroom stall. Later, the sergeant notices that Eisuke had left a brown paper shopping bag in the bathroom stall. Although he can't find Eisuke, he finds out that Eiske works at the Teiyoh Trading Corporation and goes to the Teiyoh Trading Corporate Building to return the bag.
Some time later, Eisuke's body is discovered floating in the river. While trying to determine whether Eisuke's death is an accident or murder, the Tokumeigakari pair encounters a thief who had broken into Eiskue's home. The thief was looking for something, possibly an item hidden in the brown paper shopping bag that Sergeant Kaoru found. Using Sergeant Kaoru's offhand remark as a clue, Inspector Ukyō discovers a shocking secret inside the paper bag. Was that the reason Eisuke was murdered?
