==Plot==
A few days prior, young Detective Masayoshi Tanimura of the Tokyo Police's Community Safety division is chastized by both his boss, Chief Satoshi Hisai, and by Detective Sugiuchi of the Homicide Division for misconduct while on the job. Immediately afterwards, Tanimura goes gambling while on duty and then blackmails a couple illegal businesses for hush money. He then takes his illicit gains to Homeland, a restaurant in Little Asia, where he donates them to Zhao, the restaurant's owner and leader of Asian Gateway, an organization that helps poor migrants from other Asian countries get settled in Japan.
Soon after, Tanimura receives a tip from one of the businesses he extorts: Yasuko Saejima, the woman he's been trying to track down for years has been spotted at a Kamurocho nail salon. Tanimura quickly travels to it and finds Yasuko, where he tells her why he's looking been looking for her: In 1985, Tanimura's father had been the police detective in charge of investigating the Yoshiharu Ueno hit, but he was murdered, and the last entry in his log book before he was killed said that he was going to meet with her. Before Tanimura can ask anything, the two are attacked by Shibata Family members who manage to kidnap Yasuko.
Tanimura follows the goons to their family's base in the Tokyo Docks and engages in a drawn out battle with dozens of Shibata's men before he finally makes it to their patriarch's office. There, Patriarch Shibata is in a meeting with none other than Arai when his men deliver a tied-up Yasuko. As it turns out, Ihara's murder had been arranged by Shibata and Katsuragi of the Ueno Seiwa as part of a conspiracy between them to force the Tojo Clan into giving the Ueno Seiwa a stake in the Kamurocho Hills project, which Arai had been complicit in. When Shibata tries to kill Yasuko for murdering his men, Arai shoots him, claiming that Katsuragi's plan no longer requires him but does require Yasuko. He also claims that Katsuragi also wanted Shibata dead, since he's spent years demanding favors to keep quiet about "the truth of the Yoshiharu Ueno hit". Tanimura bursts into the office after Shibata is shot and tries to arrest Arai, but the yakuza manages to get away. The detective questions Shibata about the truth of the Ueno hit, but Shibata dies before being able to answer.
