Obwohl es ein relativ kleiner Fall ist, wird L mobilisiert, der eigentlich erst dann einspringt, wenn das Ausmaß eines Verbrechens ungewöhnlich groß ist.

Dort trifft sie auf einen rätselhaften Privatdetektiv, der seinerseits – allerdings mit äußerst seltsamen Methoden – den Fall zu lösen versucht. Zögerlich geht Misora eine Kooperation mit ihm ein, ohne wirklich zu wissen, auf was sie sich einlässt.

Da L genau weiß, dass er nur noch wenige Tage zu leben hat, kämpft er zugleich auch gegen die Zeit. Ein rasantes Katz-und-Maus-Spiel beginnt, bei dem der Jäger bald selbst zum Gejagten wird.
