Summary	Masao Ogawa, a self-proclaimed idler with a penchant for Ginza strolls, finds his mundane life shattered when he's drawn into the orbit of his brilliant detective friend, Shintarou Fujieda. Their world takes a dark turn with the arrival of Hiroko Akikawa, a captivating client whose family is being systematically terrorized by anonymous, triangular-stamped threats. What begins as a seemingly straightforward case of intimidation quickly escalates into a chilling "Murder Symphony," claiming lives in increasingly bizarre and brutal ways. As bodies pile up and suspicion falls on everyone, including the enigmatic Hiroko, Ogawa is forced to confront a web of family secrets, ancient grudges, and a killer whose methods defy logic. Can Fujieda unmask the "Murderous Demon" before the entire Akikawa lineage is extinguished, and unveil a truth more shocking than anyone dares to imagine.
