◇The following contains spoilers.
In episode 8, Junichi becomes convinced that Naoto is protecting Makiko (Mao Inoue), who was being blackmailed by the victim, rather than Naoto (Daichi Watanabe), who confessed to the crime. However, Naoto refuses to retract his confession, muttering, "There are things only Makiko and I know."
Around the same time, Makiko, who is believed to have secretly taken the handgun that Naoto had hidden, disappeared with her son Masaki (Kira Miura). The worst-case scenario crosses Junichi's mind, and Makiko's ex-husband, Keisuke Kiyohara (Koji Seto), feels a sense of unease.
Meanwhile, Keisuke tells Junichi, "There's something I'm hiding from you," and goes to see Detective Minami. Keisuke reveals that Hideyuki wasn't satisfied with just the 300,000 yen he initially gave them, and threatened to contact his son's school if they didn't agree to a further deal, and that his demand was for Makiko's body. On the other hand, after being persuaded by Junichi, Naoto also confesses to Minami that he didn't kill Hideyuki... and the story unfolds from there.
In the same episode, Minami asks Naoto where the gun is, but Naoto refuses to answer, saying, "I don't want to tell you." Hearing this, Minami slams her hand on the table and shouts, "Where is the gun?!" Furthermore, Minami asks Junichi, "Could it be that you four classmates hid the gun in the same place 23 years ago? In a place only the four of you know about?" Junichi admits, "Yes," but when asked where the gun is, he just says, "I'm sorry," and doesn't say anything. Then Minami leans closer to Junichi, raises her voice, and demands in a furious tone, "Tell me where the gun is! Where is the gun?! Where is the gun?!"
On social media, the sight of Minami raising her voice and confronting someone caused a stir. Comments included: "It's the first time she's raised her voice...", "Noriko is scary~", "Even Minami has lost it lol", "Detective Minami's powerful acting was scary lol", and "It was funny, but also really scary".
