165. Metropolitan Designated Case 114: The Monster with 21 Faces

In 1984, a handful of Japan's confectioneries were being terrorized by an individual or group only identifying themselves in letters as "The Monster with 21 Faces." A candy tycoon was abducted, companies such as Ezaki-Glico, Morinaga, House Foods, and Marudai were being threatened, and sweet treats were being poisoned with cyanide. This episode is about extortion, blackmail, attempted murder, a kidnapping, and mysterious letters. Will we ever know who was behind The Monster with 21 Faces?
