The night in Tokyo always carries an air of mystery and allure. The neon lights of skyscrapers flicker through the rain, as if the city itself has eyes that never close, watching every hurried soul. The rain falls in a fine, continuous drizzle, shrouding the bustling metropolis in a veil of haze.
Amidst this haze, Silence strolls alone in the rain. Dressed in a black trench coat and wearing a wide-brimmed hat that casts a shadow over most of her face, she still manages to exude an aura of intelligence with her sharp eyes glinting in the night. Silence, the youngest and most talented detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, has solved one challenging case after another with her extraordinary insight and calm demeanor.
Tonight, she has received an unusual case. A wealthy businessman, Daye, has mysteriously vanished from his home, leaving behind only a single clue: a soaked signature on a piece of paper, written in blood-red ink that reads: Game Start.
Standing before Daye Mansion, Silence gazes at the brightly lit building. Taking a deep breath, she pushes open the grand door. The interior is lavishly decorated but feels eerily silent at this moment, with only the sound of raindrops tapping against the windows echoing in her ears. Silence ascends the staircase slowly, each step deliberate and strong.
She arrives at Daye's study, the most chaotic room in the mansion. Books are strewn across the shelves, and papers are scattered haphazardly across the desk. Silence crouches down to examine every corner carefully. Suddenly, her attention is drawn to a photograph lying face down on the floor. The picture shows a young woman with a radiant smile, her eyes filled with dreams.
Who is this? Silence wonders silently but quickly shakes her head and refocuses on the case. She begins searching for more clues in the study and eventually discovers a diary hidden in a concealed drawer. The cover is yellowed with age, but the handwriting inside remains clear.
As Silence flips through the pages one by one, an astonishing secret begins to surface. It turns out that Daye was not as glamorous as he appeared; he was involved in multiple illegal dealings and had deep connections with organized crime. The woman in the photograph was someone he had murdered years ago because she had discovered his secrets and attempted to blackmail him.
"Game Start," Silence murmurs to herself, feeling as if she can hear Daye whispering in her ear. This is not just a simple missing person case; it is a meticulously planned game of revenge. Silence knows she has been drawn into this vortex of intrigue and cannot escape.
Determined to take action, she resolves to use her intelligence and courage to uncover the truth behind this game. She first retrieves Daye's bank account records and uncovers a series of suspicious transactions. Then she secretly meets with several individuals who had dealings with Daye, learning more about his hidden life from them.
After thorough investigation, Silence finally locates Daye's hideout—a deserted factory on the outskirts of Tokyo, surrounded by overgrown weeds and an ominous atmosphere. Alone at the factory's entrance, she takes a deep breath and pushes open the rusted door.
Inside, darkness envelops her; only faint moonlight filters through broken windows onto the floor. Silence walks cautiously, wary of alerting any hidden enemies lurking in the shadows. Suddenly, a low chuckle shatters the silence of the night as Daye steps out from the darkness.
"You finally came, Silence," he says, his voice laced with arrogance and madness. "Did you think you could win this game? You were wrong!"
