Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace

Kobayashi wakes beside his teacher's body and becomes a suspect in a disturbing murder. Rather than retreat in fear, the student finds the investigation far more compelling than his monotonous daily life and seeks out the brilliant young detective Akechi.

With his friend Hashiba uneasily following, Kobayashi enters cases shaped by obsession, resentment and grotesque ideas of justice. Behind the individual crimes, a larger pattern challenges the boundary between understanding evil and becoming fascinated by it.
