The body of Shinsuke Maeda, a wealthy older man, is discovered in his garden. While at first glance it appears that he missed his step while exiting into the garden and hit his forehead on a flowerbed rock, it is established that a safe installed in the living room has been emptied. It seems that, the night before, Maeda left the hospital he was staying at of his own will and came home, and was robbed immediately after returning. His daughter Yumie Nagano insists that Chikako Inui, a woman her father had been seeing, must be the perpetrator. She says that Maeda was thinking of getting married to Chikako soon. However, Chikako finds Yumie and her husband suspicious. Troubled by debts incurred by opening their ramen store, they pestered Maeda and he pushed them away. She calmly points out that Maeda gave her a will in which he left all of the 50 million plus yen hidden in the safe to her, so she had no reason to steal from him.

Jun’kichi, the boss of the Kogiku family, and Ken Onbeya are a small-time yakuza duo who make their living running a betting shop. They were known as ‘honourable bookies’ who would relentlessly collect debts from losing customers but pay out winnings promptly to winners. One day, Ken sets out to collect a 3 million yen debt from Kurosu, who is in arrears. However, there he is reunited with Keiko, a woman he once loved. She was now Kurosu’s wife, gazing sadly at her husband, who had become a wreck, consumed by gambling… Upon enquiry, Ken learnt that the company Kurosu ran had already gone bankrupt, and to make matters worse, he had taken out a loan of no less than 400 million yen from the bank. Unable to stand by and watch, Ken offered a helping hand, but the self-interest of a major bank official and the ambitions of Ezaki, the second-in-command of the Wakakura-gumi, stood in his way.

Yū Amagi is a slightly eccentric detective who has been assigned to the Twelfth Section of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division from the Lost and Found Centre. The Twelfth Section is called the "graveyard of detectives" and ridiculed as the "banishment room where hardened detectives who cannot be fired are sent." Its assembled detectives Kōsuke Samura, Takumi Yamashita, Keita Nagasawa, Tamaki Mizuta, and Masatoshi Katagiri are elite and yet oddballs. Amagi appears fixated with time which seems to have no relation with a case. Raising questions about the timelines of the perpetrator and victim derived from the estimated time of death, time of crime, time of alibi, and time limit, he searches for the meaning of "blank time" which arises from this. He obsesses over the weight of every minute and second of time because of some incident.
