Within the police force, being present at the scene of a death and conducting a preliminary investigation is called "presence". Investigator Yoshio Kuranishi of the Search Division 1 is what they call a "lifelong coroner" who is always able to accurately grasp the information conveyed by the body. Sometimes, in a case where everyone is convinced that it is a suicide or a death of a patient, he is the only one who can decide that it is a homicide, and sometimes, Kuraishi can overrule the homicide judgment and think that "there is no suspicion of a criminal offense". In eight short stories, the author depicts a man who cannot fit into the organization, who is strict with himself and who is committed to his own principles, and who has created a remarkable police novel!
