    Trivia

    • Even though the victim landed back-down on the knife and most likely died instantly according to the coroner[1], the corpse is found in a belly-down position. The only way for this to be possible is if the corpse flopped over after impact or if the coroner was incorrect about the instantaneity of the death.
    • This is Eiichi Yamagishi's first appearance, his second appearance is On Location, TV Drama Murder Case.
    • Also the first episode that the victim is stabbed.
