The Twenty-one Faces of the Disappearing Monster: Testimonies of Three Hundred Investigators in the Glico-morinaga Case (translated Documentary)

About This Novel

The originator of "theatrical crime", an unsolved mystery in the late Showa era! With 1.3 Million police personnel deployed, why are the criminals still unable to be caught? Interviewed more than 300 relevant personnel to review the key moments of the Glico-Morinaga case; used the latest technology to analyze the "voice of the criminal" and revealed a new criminal profile! The Glico-Morinaga case occurred in the late Showa era (1980s). It is one of Japan's well-known unsolved cases and the originator of Japanese theater crime. Its dramatic criminal methods are still talked about today. This case has been adapted into film and television works many times, and the Smiling Man incident in "Ghost in the Shell" is based on this case. The criminal gang calling themselves "Twenty-One Faces" left more than 140 threatening letters and letters of challenge, as well as blackmail phone recordings, surveillance videos and a large number of items left behind at crime scenes. The case seemed to be full of clues, but the police failed to catch a suspect. The performance of the police has been criticized by the public and the media for failing to investigate the "fox-eyed man" who appeared at the crime scene twice, and "let go" of the suspicious vehicle at the scene where the extortion money was delivered. How close were the police to solving the case, and how far had the investigation progressed? Is the failure to solve the case an unfortunate coincidence or some kind of necessity? The NHK special program recording team interviewed frontline investigators and police senior officials involved in solving the case, comprehensively reviewed the details of the case, and reviewed the search process of the Glico-Morinaga case. In addition, the recording team commissioned experts to use the latest technology to re-analyze the blackmail phone recordings and came up with brand-new criminal profiling results, which overturned the police and the public's understanding of the composition of criminal gangs for many years.
