Storyline

The world-renowned detective team faces its biggest case yet in Tokyo!
International crimefighters Tang Ren (Wang Baoqiang) and Qin Feng (Liu Haoran), the Chinatown detective duo, fly to Tokyo at the behest of Japanese detective Hiroshi Noda (Satoshi Tsumabuki) to help solve a tough case. The mission this time is to prove that yakuza boss Masaru Watanabe (Tomokazu Miura) has been falsely charged in the sealed-room murder of a southeast Asian mafia don. Thai detective and former police officer Jack Jaa (Tony Jaa) joins them in their efforts, but the murdered don’s secretary Anna Kobayashi (Masami Nagasawa) is kidnapped.  Involvement of Elite police inspector Naoki Tanaka (Tadanobu Asano), who has a solve rate of 100%, and mysterious wanted criminal Akira Murata (Shota Sometani), complicates the case.  What’s more, detectives on the “CRIMASTER” app, a world ranking of case-solving rates, gather in Tokyo upon hearing the news. With the arrival of Q, the number-one detective on the app whose identity is unknown, the plot thickens...
 

Making of the film

Tokyo Film Commission assisted the filming in ten Tokyo locations. 
On Akihabara’s Chuo-dori Street, there were over 600 extras, floats, Robot Restaurant robots and more to shoot a cosplay parade scene over two days. Three days were scheduled, but Typhoon No. 19 coming through the Kanto region caused the cancellation of the first day shooting and suspended JR and private train lines until the morning of the second day.  Nevertheless, we were able to finish on schedule. In Shinjuku’s Cinecity Square, they built a major Shinjuku Station set to film the scene the detectives first arrive in Tokyo.
We are grateful to Akiba 21 for their help in the filming as well as all the organizations, street associations, town councils and facility managers.  To all expectant fans, we are excited to see finally this movie is released  in Japan and hope you enjoy it!
