Lieutenant Ninzaburo Furuhata

The Man Who Talks Too Much (2x1)

Air date: Jan 10, 1996

Talented lawyer Kiyoshi Koshimizu (Sanma Akashiya) murders his girlfriend, Hinako Mukai (Naomi Akimoto), whom he won't break up with even though he has decided to marry someone else for convenience. Staging the scene as if her other boyfriend did it, Imaizumi is caught and arrested for Mukai's murder. Asking Koshimizu for help in his defense since they were former classmates, Koshimizu recommends Imaizumi plead to manslaughter to lighten the prison time. However, Furuhata is suspicious of Koshimizu's statements, and discovers evidence in the court records that may prove Imaizumi's innocence.
