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...
and a letter Tatsukichi had been 
forced to write in advance,
،ورسالة كان تاتسوكيتشي قد كتبها بالإكراه سلفاً
auch auf das Anklageschreiben, welches er Tatsukichi
noch einmal schreiben ließ, Blut geschmiert
y la carta manchada de sangre
que le hizo escribir a Tatsukichi
y la carta manchada de sangre
que le hizo escribir a Tatsukichi
qu’il avait fait écrire
au préalable par Tatsukichi
che aveva preventivamente fatto scrivere a Tatsukichi,
e deve averlo gettato nel giardino di questa casa
e uma carta que o Tatsukichi foi
obrigado a escrever de antemão,
и письмо, которое Тацукити написал заранее,
