Ep. 57: Investigation into the Demon God Murder Case File 2

57

Yamato is discovered strangled by a stolen fake necklace inside the sealed Magamitori cave. Satsuki details the Magamitori curse, which foretells three deaths, citing the past demise of Kichieman’s eldest daughter, eldest son, and his wife. She outlines three commandments: bury the artefacts, construct four worship houses, and ensure the eldest daughter serves Magamitori. With phone lines down, three residents attempt to flee but survive a tunnel collapse. Asuka Minatoya’s husband is subsequently killed by a falling copper bell, and the fourth replica artefact vanishes. Soga is lured out and found dead near a broken seven-angle mirror holding torn calendar pages. Speculation arises regarding revenge for Shiro Munakata’s death a year earlier. Satsuki reveals her mother has been confined since age 17 to serve Magamitori, never showing her face. Kyouko Munakata then approaches Hajime and Miyuki.
