In this episode, Liisa delves into the mysterious and chilling Tokyo Black Murder Case of 1997, where Watanabe Taiko, a high-ranking executive at Tokyo Electric Power Company, was found brutally murdered in a rundown apartment in the Maruyamacho area, known for its nightclubs and love hotels. Initially, an illegal immigrant named McNally was convicted, but 15 years later, new evidence revealed the presence of an unidentified third person, leading to McNally's acquittal. This shocking case, intertwined with Watanabe's double life as a prostitute and the shadowy operations within Tokyo Electric Power Company, raises questions about a deeper conspiracy and unresolved mysteries that still haunt Tokyo's criminal history.
