Subtitle: A Professor's Wife and the Professor's Lover(教授夫人とその愛人)
Sergeant Kaoru is in a restaurant waiting on Miwako for a lunch date with her when he spots a woman about to jump off from the top of a building a few blocks away. Arriving at the building, he is relieved to see that she hadn't jumped.
When Sergeant Kaoru and the other policemen who also climbed the building talk to her however, she confesses that she just murdered a man. Investigating the supposed scene of the crime, they find out that not only is the body not there, they can't find any trace of a crime occurring at the location. Her husband, a professor and a high ranking official, says that his wife is mentally unstable and she only imagined that she murdered someone.
Did she just imagine murdering someone, or did her husband somehow cover up the murder?
