The Silver Case narrative location Japan
Plot
The Silver Case is set in the year 1999, in a fictional "Ward 24" of Tokyo, Japan. A series of mysterious and bizarre murders have surfaced, prompting the Heinous Crimes Unit (HCU) of the 24 Wards Police Department to investigate. They find that the murders closely match the profile of an infamous serial killer, Kamui Uehara, who assassinated many key government figures during the "Silver Case" of 1979, which officially ended with Kusabi arresting Uehara. Uehara was held in a mental hospital and was thought to be completely unfit to commit crime again, but these new incidents imply otherwise.
