Features: In a remote small village called Fudōtō in Japan, a bacterium known as Elvinia contaminated the cabbage, causing it to rot in patches and emit a foul odor. However, the stench of the plants could not mask another, more sinister stench—the stench of death. Thirteen people in the village, from the youngest to the oldest, were all brutally murdered for reasons unknown, their bodies scattered across the wilderness, with rivers of blood flowing. Who was behind this horrific tragedy? There was no robbery, no molestation of women—what was the motive of the killer? The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department formed a large task force, spent years investigating, and confirmed all the suspicions, finding what they believed to be the answer. But the truth was buried forever.
