Synopsis
Nobuchika Ginoza and his team theorize that a mastermind might have influenced the murderous actions of two recent suspects by essentially providing them with the ability and motivation to carry out their deadly desires. Shinya Kogami sees eerie similarities between these cases and the earlier unsolved case that got him demoted to Enforcer which also resulted in the grotesque death of his Enforcer, Mitsuru Sasayama. Meanwhile, Akane Tsunemori seeks out more information on Kogami from Shusei Kagari and Shion Karanomori and learns about Sasayama and the cold case known as the Specimen Case. At Oso Academy, an all-female boarding school, Rikako Oryo, the enigmatic president of the art club, seduces an unsuspecting victim and mutilates her corpse into a work of "art" under the tutelage of the evident mastermind, Shogo Makishima.
