The Crimes That Bind

The Crimes That Bind (2018) is a Japanese detective thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A woman from Shiga Prefecture is found strangled in a Tokyo apartment. The flat's owner, Koshikawa, has disappeared without a trace, and detectives can find no link between the two.

Near the body, investigator Matsumiya turns up a slip of paper listing twelve bridges in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. For most of the team it's a cryptic dead end, but for his cousin Detective Kaga (Hiroshi Abe), the clue cuts uncomfortably close to his own past. Directed by Katsuo Fukuzawa, this is the concluding chapter of the long-running Kaga series adapted from Keigo Higashino's novel — a procedural that turns, quietly, into something much more personal.
