Beautiful Bones -Sakurako's Investigation- Season 1 Episode 4 E 4

Sakurako and Shoutarou are on their way to a castle for a flower arrangement exhibition when they come across a peculiar incident in a small village. A young woman, Kouki Midorikawa, claims to have accidentally killed her fiance, Toshiki Toyama, after he was backing out of their engagement. She asks Sakurako to help her dispose of the bones, but Sakurako has other plans in mind.

Sakurako and Shoutarou join forces with the local police to investigate the incident and find out if Kouki is telling the truth. Sakurako notices several inconsistencies in Kouki's story and believes there may be more to the incident than meets the eye. She observes the bones and determines that they belong to a much older person than Toshiki.

As they delve deeper into the case, Sakurako and Shoutarou discover a diary that belonged to Toshiki's grandfather. It contains some strange and suggestive entries that suggest Toshiki and Kouki could have been involved in some sort of ritualistic sacrifice. The entries mention a mysterious ritual that involves offering a sacrifice to the "God of the Forest".

The investigation takes a twist when the police find Toshiki's car with a box full of bones. They belong to a different person and it seems that someone is trying to implicate Kouki for a crime she didn't commit. Sakurako believes that someone is trying to cover up a much bigger issue and is determined to uncover the truth.

As the investigation continues, Sakurako and Shoutarou visit the local temple and discover an ancient artifact that may hold the key to the mystery. The artifact is an ancient mask that is said to have been used in a ritual for the God of the Forest. The mask was stolen from the temple many years ago and has been missing ever since.

Sakurako believes that the mask could be the missing piece in the puzzle and is determined to find out who stole it and why. Her investigations lead her to a sinister group of people who may be involved in more than just stealing artifacts.

In the thrilling conclusion of this episode, Sakurako finally uncovers the truth behind the mysterious ritual and the sacrifice to the God of the Forest. She confronts the culprits and exposes their evil deeds, bringing justice to the innocent and putting an end to the sinister plot.
