Features: Shigehiko Kishibe, a freelance writer for the magazine "Travel and History," is funded by an anonymous wealthy individual to participate in the "Bird of the Wind" global cruise. During the ship's stop in Hong Kong, after disembarking with the VIP passengers in the cabin, Murata Masaru never returned, causing Shigehiko great unease. Unexpectedly, several days later, the body of Murata Masaru was found in the ship's freezer. The tragic incident sparked panic among the various individuals on the ship. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department dispatched a skilled detective who arrived on the ship via helicopter. With the strong assistance of the police, Shigehiko, relying on his keen observation skills, investigated and identified the real culprit. However, Officer Okabe, who was about to disembark at Mumbai Station to return to his home country, announced the case as an "unsolved mystery" to the passengers.
