Other name: 時効警察, Time Limit Detective, Statute of Limitation Police

Description:

Jikou Keisatsu is an intriguing mystery comedy centering on Kiriyama Shuichiro, a highly observant information management officer working at a prefectural police station. While his official job keeps him behind a desk, his true passion lies in diving into unresolved cases. Specifically, he is obsessed with cold cases that have already passed their legal statute of limitations, meaning the culprits can no longer be legally charged even if they are caught. Driven purely by personal curiosity rather than justice, Kiriyama conducts unauthorized investigations to crack these forgotten puzzles and confirm the identities of the culprits. Adding to his eccentric charm are his signature dark green spectacles, a wallet that always contains exactly twenty thousand yen, and his deep love for udon and nyuumen. Jikou Keisatsu delivers a unique blend of suspense and humor as this quirky investigator unravels secrets purely for the satisfaction of knowing the truth.
