[edit] Plot summary
Yoshioka, an experienced police detective, investigates the murder of an unknown woman dressed in a red dress. She was killed by being drowned on the Tokyo waterfront, in a pool of muddy water, but an autopsy reveals that her belly is full of seawater. Moreover, all the clues he finds relate to him : a button found at the murder scene matches one that is missing from one his coat, and fingerprints that cover the body match his own. Yoshioka realizes that the only viable suspect is himself, the problem is that he doesn’t remember a thing.
A ghost dressed in a red dress soon starts appearing to him. As these apparitions become more intense and bizarre, more murders appear with the same drowning by salt water. As the later perpetrators are all found easily, a serial killer is ruled out and Yoshioka is stuck with one unsolvable crime that points to him.
