While investigating the murder of a prominent councilman and his wife at the Springer Estate in Verden, Tenma encounters the petty criminal Otto Heckel and escapes with him. Heckel suggests that they could make good money by operating on wounded criminals, but also reveals that he knows the councilman's killer. They visit the killer who is remorseful, duped by a man called Erich into committing the murders. But before Tenma can extract any more information, he kills himself. In order to pay his debts, Heckel arranges for Tenma to be abducted to treat a wounded man who is a suspect in a terrorist attack. Despite being threatened, Tenma decides to save him anyway.
