Subtitle: An Underwear Thief and a Dead Body Who Was Alive(下着泥棒と生きていた死体)
Sergeant Ueda(上田) and Kasamatsu(笠松) from Takizawa Station(滝沢署) apprehend Tatsurō Niki(二木達郎), an underwear thief. The police staff members at Takizawa Station(滝沢署) ask for help from the police staff at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to confirm Tatsurō's statements about the locations where he stole each of the panties. As expected, the Tokumeigakari pair is assigned this embarrassing task. They are eventually able to confirm all of Tatsurō's statements except one. Inspector Ukyō thinks it's odd that Tatsurō got just one pair wrong, especially since it's the last pair of underwear he stole just before he was arrested.
Ever the perfectionist, the inspector digs for evidence to confirm Tatsurō's statement. They eventually find out that it was the apartment resident's visiting mother's underwear that got stolen, but by then, they the Tokumeigakari pair had unearthed a cover-up at Takizawa Station(滝沢署) about Mr. Akai, a drunk man who died in an unmarked police car on the same night Tatsurō was apprehended.
What happened that night to Mr. Akai and why did the Takizawa Station(滝沢署) try to hide this fact?
