Later, the local Yonesaki Shimbun (newspaper) scooped the case exclusively, reporting that the Hirai Chuo Police Department's Community Safety Division had delayed accepting a report from the female student, and that she had gone on a consolation trip during that time. Izumi Moriguchi of the prefectural police's Public Relations and Hearing Section suspects that her best friend Chika Tsumura, a newspaper reporter, may have broken her promise to report the story, and Chika begins an investigation to prove her innocence, only to be found dead a week later. Moved by remorse and regret, Izumi throws herself into a battle of mourning for her best friend. Then she discovers that the stalker murders and police scandals are connected to a cult that once caused a major incident. ......
