Storyline
Tameyori Eisuke is a dedicated general practitioner who runs a clinic, which seems on the verge of collapse, in a provincial town. He seems to be a middle-aged man who will never get ahead, but in fact possesses an astonishing ability to read a persons health and progression of illness just by looking at the person from the outside and a diagnosis of medical symptoms as a doctor. However, the death of his wife makes him feel the limitations of medical treatment and anguish. Tameyori is not only able to detect illnesses, but also criminals' criminogenic nature, and he prevents a case before it happens. Because of that, the detective Hayase Junichiro becomes dependent on Tameyori. Despite his reluctance, Tameyori starts to help in solving cases because of his kind personality and inability to refuse when asked.
