Michael Henry, a French executive of the Toutou Philharmonic Orchestra, is discovered dead at the base of a staircase within Shuichiro Mido’s villa. Mido is the composer of "The Devil's Suite," inspired by his three poems. The sole clue is a key held in Henry’s hand. Hajime assists Inspector Akechi in searching for the composer’s lost work while interacting with other orchestra members, including conductor Takehiko Natsuoka, singer Yurie Kazekura, and violinist Arisa Kure. Mido’s manager, Yuka Yamane, subsequently finds Kazekura dead in a collector’s room, her head covered by a helmet matching the poem descriptions. The group locates a written copy of the poems, which Akechi gives to Hajime to solve the mystery of the two deaths.
