Matsukawa-Jiken plot

A month after the derailment of a train between the Kanawagawa and Matsukawa stations on the Tohoku Line, nineteen-year-old Akama is arrested by the police. He is tortured until he gives police and justice approved testimony that blames ten JNR employees and ten Toshiba union members. They are all charged, but Akama soon retracts his testimony and insists on his innocence. Although the conspiracy of the judiciary and police seems clear, the defendants are still being tried.
