The Crimes That Bind
祈りの幕が下りる時 기도의 막이 내릴때 當祈禱落幕時
©2018 The Crimes That Bind Film Production Committee ©Keigo Higashino/KODANSHA All Rights Reserved. Based on the novel“INORINO MAKU GA ORIRUTOKI" by KEIGO HIGASHINO originally published by Kodansha Ltd.
The victim is Michiko Oshitani, a resident of Shiga Prefecture who worked for a home cleaning company.
What’s more, the occupant of the apartment where the murder took place, Mutsuo Koshikawa, has gone missing.
Matsumiya (Junpei Mizobata) and his fellow detectives of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s Investigation Section 1 begin investigating, but hit a brick wall when they fail to find any links between Oshitani and Koshikawa.
Why was Oshitani, who lived in Shiga, killed in Tokyo?
Eventually, the detectives’ inquiries lead them to a theater director named Hiromi Asai (Nanako Matsushima).
They learn that Oshitani came to Tokyo to visit her former classmate Asai, but again come up with nothing when searching for connections between Asai and Koshikawa, and their investigation grinds to a halt.
Matsumiya has a hunch that a charred corpse found nearby the murder scene may have some relevance to the case, and subsequently discovers an item among the victim’s belongings with the names of Nihonbashi’s 12 bridges written on it.
When Kyoichiro Kaga (Hiroshi Abe) learns of this, he is deeply shaken.
It is somehow connected to his mother, who died alone...

東京都葛飾區小菅的公寓裏發現被絞殺的女性屍體。
被害者是住在滋賀縣，於房屋清掃公司工作的押谷道子。
同住在案發公寓的越川睦夫也下落不明。
松宮（溝端淳平飾）與警視廳捜査一課的刑事警察們進行調查後，完全都找不到押谷道子和越川睦夫的關連證據，使得案情膠著。
住在滋賀縣的押谷倒底為何在東京被殺？
線索隨著調查漸漸浮出台面，原來押谷道子是為了與學生時代的同學舞台劇女導演・淺居博美（松嶋菜菜子飾）見面才來到東京。但仍舊查不出淺居博美與越川睦夫之間的關連證據，調查停滯不前。
松宮懷疑該事件與附近被發現的焦黑屍體有關，在進行調查時，發現遺物中寫著日本橋附近的12座橋名。知道這一事實後的加賀恭一郎（阿部寛飾）情緒顯得激動。因為，這跟孤獨死去的加賀母親有關。
