A strangled corpse of Makita Yuzo, Deputy Director of the Editorial Bureau of Shinshu, was found at the Minochi Dam in Nagano Prefecture. The victim's car was found away from the scene, and the criminal was believed to have carried the corpse and abandoned it after the crime. It was Nakajima, a subordinate of Makita, who was detained as a suspect in the Minochi Dam case. Nakajima, who had no alibi, was in conflict with the victim in an internal faction dispute over the pros and cons of dam construction and witnessed a fierce quarrel over personnel changes the day before. A few days later, the corpse of the dentist's wife, Amari Tomomi, is found at Tagoji Temple near Mt. Takemura Iwao, also known as the Prefectural Police Inspector ‟Shinano's Colombo,‟ said that the victim was strangled this time as well and that the victim's car, which is believed to be the scene of the crime, was left away from the scene. Recognizing the similarities with the Uchi Dam incident, he starts an investigation.
