Box of Goblins - Season 0 Episode 1 The Case Files of Atsuko Chūzenji: The Case of the Spirits in the Boxes
In 1953, after the events surrounding the Musashino dismemberment case, Atsuko Chūzenji reflects on her participation in the investigation. She recalls how the descriptions by the witnesses who reported seeing a white-gloved man reminded her of Kubo and how strange Kubo's story "The Woman inside the Box" was. She also recalls her earlier investigation of a murder of a man by his wife and wonders why she is drawn to bizarre and violent stories. She concludes that writing about them is a kind of act of purification.
