However, the fame was short-lived, and the staff quickly faded from Japan's memory, returning to their usual struggles. Aizawa Mai stumbles upon an old case involving a murder for insurance money, a child's abandoned body, and a woman named Saga Kanako who was the sole suspect. Despite maintaining her silence during the police investigation and being acquitted due to lack of evidence, Saga received compensation from the government, causing confusion among those familiar with the case. Mai teams up with freelance journalist Mikami to investigate further and discovers a possible link to hypnosis in the crime. After confirming their theory with a real-life demonstration, they are met with resistance from their boss, Hasegawa, who orders them to stop. Undeterred, Mai continues her pursuit of the truth, even reaching out to the suspect Kanako, who retaliates with a terrifying display of hypnosis. The situation escalates when Mai is found in a precarious position, prompting Mikami to rush to her aid. Can BS Toto's news program once again make waves in Japan with this dangerous story?
