Celui-ci, à la recherche de son épouse disparue, n'est pas parvenu à la retrouver. Les deux hommes décident alors de boire un verre ensemble puis de rentrer chez eux. Or, le même soir, Yumiko, une amie de Sayuri, la femme de Sugimoto, annonce que cette dernière a été assassinée chez elle.

Malgré les conseils de son épouse, puis de Sugimoto, également informé de l'accident, Isao, parfaitement incapable de surmonter ses sentiments de culpabilité, menace de se dénoncer à la police.
