Actors Suzuka Hiroshi and Matsumoto Honoka co-star in Fuji TV's Monday 9pm drama "Usotoki Rhetoric" (Mondays at 9pm). The synopsis and stills from the fifth episode, which will air on November 4th, have been released.
Souuma Iwai (Suzuka) and Kanoko Urabe (Matsumoto) accompany Miyabi (Kitano Kii), the older sister of Hazaki Kaoru (Mikata Ryosuke) and a reporter for a ghost story magazine, on an interview. The subject of the interview is the "doll murder case" that took place at the Ayao family home, also known as the "doll house." One month ago, Ine (Matsuura Ryo), a servant at the Ayao family home, died under suspicious circumstances.
Shinako (Kataoka Rin), who lost her parents, lives at the Ayao family home with the servants. Shinako's room is the "doll room" in a detached building, and there are many dolls that are the source of strange rumors surrounding the Ayao family home.
Miya asks Shinako about the situation at the time of the incident. Kanoko is confused by the fact that Shinako's words "No one in our house is dead. Ine committed suicide" are lies. Souma and Miyabi also sense something is off about Shinako's story.
The next day, as Souma and Miyabi head to the annex, they notice blood splattering on the shoji screen, visible through the lattice door. Souma and Miyabi rush into the room, and think Shinako has collapsed, but when they touch it, it's actually a doll.
Just then, Shinako appears. Blood has seeped into Shinako's kimono. Kanoko has also arrived. Miyabi asks Shinako about the cause of the blood on her kimono, and Shinako answers, but Kanoko can tell that her answer is a lie. Kanoko hears Shinako's lie even in her conversation with Souma.
Having received the signal that Kanoko is lying, Souma, with an unusually serious expression, asks the maid to immediately arrange for the police, a doctor, and a car...
The original work is the manga of the same name by Miyako Ritsuko, which was serialized in "Bessatsu Hana to Yume" (Hakusensha) from 2012 to 2018. It has a total circulation of 1 million copies.
