Genius poet Ishikawa Takuboku moves to Tokyo with the help of an upperclassman of his, Kindaichi Kyousuke. Enraptured by both drink and women, Takuboku finds himself perpetually out of money. One day, the two men decide to drop by Asakusa and find themselves primary witnesses to a murder. The victim, Tatsukichi, worked in the home of Oguri, the head clerk to the Arakawa mines. When the murder weapon and a letter of accusation written by Tatsukichi are discovered, Oguri is arrested for the crime, but Takuboku isn't convinced...
Beside the body of a man 
you had motive to kill
بجانبِ جثّة رجُل أردت أن تقتله
Was würdest du tun,
wenn ein Brief dich beschuldigt,
Tenía motivos para matar al hombre
Tenía motivos para matar al hombre
Si tu découvrais
une lettre t’accusant à côté
Se accanto al cadavere di un uomo
che avevi un movente per uccidere
Ao lado do corpo de um homem
que você tinha motivos para matar
Рядом с трупом человека, 
на чьё убийство у вас был мотив,
