バビロン

Information

Description

Young prosecutor Zen Seizaki works for the Special Investigation Unit of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office. After a raid on the facilities of a pharmaceutical company, which is suspected to have bribed four universities for positive research reports on a new drug, Seizaki and his junior partner Atsuhiko Fumio work their way through several boxes of confiscated documents. Purely by chance, they come across a blood-stained document from a medical university that had not yet appeared in the investigation, which unexpectedly leads them to the corpse of an assistant professor from that university.

Meanwhile, the election campaign has begun for a new autonomous zone in the west of Tokyo Prefecture, comprising several cities, to relieve the burden on central Tokyo. While cooperating with the local police on the discovery of the body, police chief Shinobu Kujiin reveals to the prosecutors that the professor had received regular visits from a couple two weeks prior to his death. Of the two, one can immediately be identified as the personal secretary of the influential politician Ryuuichirou Nomaru, who is considered the favourite in the upcoming election for the autonomous zone. Thus, Seizaki and Fumio are tasked with getting to the bottom of the matter …
Der junge Staatsanwalt Zen Seizaki arbeitet für die Sonderermittlungseinheit der Staatsanwaltschaft im Distrikt Tokio. Nach einer Razzia in den Einrichtungen eines Pharmaunternehmens, das im Verdacht steht, vier Universitäten für positive Forschungsberichte über ein neues Medikament bestochen zu haben, arbeitet Seizaki sich mit seinem Juniorpartner Atsuhiko Fumio durch mehrere Kartons voller beschlagnahmter Dokumente. Mehr durch Zufall stoßen die beiden dabei auf ein blutverschmiertes Dokument einer bisher nicht in den Ermittlungen in Erscheinung getretenen medizinischen Universität, das die beiden unversehens zur Leiche eines Assistenzprofessors jener Universität führt.

Unterdessen beginnt der Wahlkampf um eine neue autonome Zone im Westen der Präfektur Tokio, die sich aus mehreren Städten zusammengeschlossen hat und das Tokioter Zentrum entlasten soll. Während der Zusammenarbeit mit der örtlichen Polizei im Fall des entdeckten Leichnams offenbart Polizeiobermeister Shinobu Kujiin der Staatsanwaltschaft, dass der Professor zwei Wochen vor seinem Tod regelmäßig Besuch von einem Pärchen erhielt. Einer der beiden ist der persönliche Sekretär des einflussreichen Politikers Ryuuichirou Nomaru, der als Favorit in der anstehenden Wahl um die autonome Zone gilt. Seizaki und Fumio erhalten den Auftrag, der Angelegenheit auf den Grund zu gehen …
Le jeune procureur Zen Seizaki travaille pour l’unité d’enquête spéciale du bureau du procureur du district de Tokyo. Après avoir fait une descente dans les locaux d’une société pharmaceutique soupçonnée d’avoir soudoyé quatre universités pour obtenir des rapports de recherche positifs sur un nouveau médicament, Seizaki et son partenaire junior Atsuhiko Fumio se frayent un chemin à travers plusieurs boîtes remplies de documents saisis. Les deux hommes tombent, plutôt par hasard, sur un document taché de sang provenant d’une université de médecine qui n’avait pas encore été mentionnée dans l’enquête. Cela les conduit, sans qu’ils s’en rendent compte, au cadavre d’un des professeurs assistants de cette université.

Pendant ce temps, la campagne pour une nouvelle zone autonome dans la partie ouest de la préfecture de Tokyo, formée de plusieurs villes et destinée à enlever de la pression du centre de Tokyo, commence. Alors qu’il coopère avec la police locale sur l’affaire du corps découvert, le sergent de police Shinobu Kujiin révèle à l’accusation que le professeur avait reçu des visites régulières d’un couple deux semaines avant sa mort. L’un des deux est immédiatement identifié comme étant le secrétaire personnel de l’influent politicien Ryuuichirou Nomaru, considéré comme le favori des prochaines élections pour la zone autonome. Seizaki et Fumio reçoivent l’ordre de faire lumière sur cette affaire…
Il giovane procuratore Zen Seizaki lavora per l’unità speciale della procura nel distretto di Tokio. Dopo una razzia nella struttura di un industria farmaceutica, che veniva sospettata di aver corrotto quattro università per avere dato delle relazioni di ricerca positive su dei medicamenti, Seizaki si mette a lavoro con il suo associato junior Atsuhiko Fumio, per rovistare tra documenti in diversi cartoni confiscati. Più per caso, si imbattono in dei documenti insanguinati di un’università medica che non era neanche entrata a far parte dell’indagine, che li porterà al cadavere di un professore di appunto quell’università.

Nel mentre ha inizio una campagna elettorale per una nuova zona autonoma nell’occidente della prefettura di Tokio, le cui città si sono unite per alleggerire il centro di Tokio. Durante la collaborazione con la polizia locale, quanto riguarda il cadavere del professore, il capo della polizia Shinobu Kujiin rivela alla procura che il professore, due settimane prima della sua morte, riceveva regolarmente visita da una coppietta. Uno dei due viene subito identificato come segretario personale del influente politico Ryuuichirou Nomaru, favorito nelle elezione di quella zona autonoma. Seizaki e Fumio ricevono l’incarico di andare a fondo della questione …

What started as an intriguing procedural crime mystery, shifted along the way into being a bombastic manifesto about good and evil. Also, starring an antagonist ridiculously abetting people to suicide through sheer sexiness... Because everyone is supposed to be taking the themes on this Seinen seriously, when it has a major plot element even the baddest Ecchi would consider not using. Even the anticlimactic ending, an insult to the most patient of spectators, fails to bail it out.
