The Sanmei-so Incident – also known as the “Narumisawa Landscape Painter Murder Case”

Thirty years ago, on the grounds of a mansion called Yamamei-so in Narumisawa, famous artist Suiryu Uchida was murdered. A strange body was found beside the pond where the murder took place. The police investigation continued, but the case came to a close with the death of the suspect.

Thirty years later, a group of unique members of Associate Professor Ayame Minato’s seminar, a young expert in criminal psychology, come to Yamanari-so to investigate the case as a research project. Gradually, the facts become clear, and suspects emerge. The truth behind the unsolved case is revealed, and the hidden feelings behind their cheerful demeanor are also revealed…
