In search of the truth behind the mansion murders, Jin and Kanon fly to Hokkaido to seek out Juzo Haikawa’s hometown. There they learn about a mysterious scar-faced man named Shuji Inuyama, who many years ago massacred an entire village of 33, then killed himself, leaving behind only a cryptic poem as his epitaph… But this raises more questions than it answers, the trail leading them ever deeper into darkness. And what awaits them there is…!
The Scar-Faced Man who attacked Jin and Kanon in Hokkaido remains a mystery, but is he connected to Shuji Inuyama, perpetrator of the massacre in Kuratsuchi all those years ago? Is he connected to Juzo Haikawa…? In the search for answers, Kanon goes to visit her "brother" Takeru in prison, where he’s serving time for his role in a counterfeit art scam-and he reveals the shocking truth: that Haikawa had a real son. Now this man is on the warpath, seeking revenge on the “fake” children who stole his father’s love…but the cheap copy of a Goya painting on the wall of Haikawa’s mansion may just prove his undoing…
