Plot



In February 1999, set after the sixth installment, 'Oblivion Recording', a new spate of ferocious murders, that share a disturbing resemblance to the string of homicides in 1995, began.

Set after Oblivion Recording, a new spate of ferocious murders has caught the eye of both Shiki and Daisuke, Mikiyas cousin who investigated the murders before. Shiki wanders the back alleys of the business district, searching for the murderer and avoiding attacks by local thugs while Mikiya becomes more and more worried about her, beginning his own investigation that takes him down a path populated by drug pushers and prostitutes. The perpetrator, Lio Shirazumi, finds Shiki first but loses an arm in the resulting scuffle; retreating, he discovers Mikiya in his apartment which has become a madmans shrine to Shiki. Mikiya tries to convince Lio that he can be saved but he refuses and leaves. Shiki is captured and tortured by Lio as she refuses to kill him, Mikiya arrives at the spot but fails to stop Lio and ends up injured. Shiki kills Lio as he told her that he killed Mikiya.

In flashbacks it is shown what happened to Mikiya and Shiki in the last part of the second installment 'A Study in Murder, Part 1' which led to her being hospitalized as shown in the fourth installment 'The Hollow Shrine'.
