A disturbing new murder case has gripped Chiba, bearing an unsettling resemblance to a notorious series of killings that terrorized the region seven years ago. The original culprit for those past crimes, apprehended and imprisoned, recently committed suicide in his cell, casting a dark shadow over the current investigation. This baffling development forces seasoned detectives to confront a profound question: was the deceased inmate truly innocent, a victim of a false accusation who died wrongfully imprisoned? Or has a cunning copycat emerged, meticulously replicating the gruesome pattern of the past, now free to continue the terror? A dedicated detective delves deep into the cold files and the fresh crime scene, navigating a treacherous path of suspicion and deceit. As the investigation progresses, the shocking truth about the original crimes and their terrifying resurgence slowly comes to light, promising a deeply unsettling and unexpected revelation.
