Akuma no temari-uta (1977)

Showa 6 years, Okayama Prefecture, Japan, a man who calls himself Enda Jizo came to the village to sell his Christmas tree processing machine. At that time, there were two great families in the village, Renli and Yuliang. The Renli family specialized in the wine industry after the war, and the limelight was in full swing, while the good family was in decline. In order to fight against the benevolent family, the good family accepted the recommendation of Entian and entered the Christmas tree processing industry, but was cheated to lose all his money. Genjiro Aoki, who moved to Kobe from an early age, returned to the village to expose Enda's scam, and then Genjiro was killed. Police officer Ishikawa (Fusaburo Ruoyama acted the role of) who investigated the case at that time always believed that there were doubts about the case. In the year of Showa 27, he invited a detective from Tokyo, Ichigeng Kaneda (acted the role of Haoji Ishibaka) to investigate. It has been 20 years since the tragedy, and the children of all families have grown up. Teiko (Yoko Takahata) and Fumiko (Yukiko Nagano) fall in love with Genjiro's son Komio (Beigong) at the same time. But one night, Taizi was brutally murdered. This murder is inextricably linked to the cold case 20 years ago, and the emotional entanglements hidden behind it have gradually surfaced with the increase of victims.
