Description:

In Detective Mitarai's Casebook: The Clockwork Current, private detective Kiyoshi Mitarai and his assistant Miyuki Ogawa arrive in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, to confront a chilling enigma. They are drawn into a baffling case involving multiple bodies discovered floating in the expansive Seto Inland Sea. The peculiar and sinister twist lies in the sea's unique characteristics: its powerful currents precisely repeat their intricate patterns every six hours. This predictable, almost mechanical, ebb and flow presents a formidable challenge and a vital clue. Mitarai must utilize his extraordinary intellect to discern how this "clockwork current" is intertwined with the victims' demise, determining if it serves as a method of concealment, a killer's ingenious timing mechanism, or a silent guide to the true origin of these unfolding tragedies. The recurring currents become central to unlocking the dark secrets behind these perplexing deaths.
