福岡歴史発見！Fukuoka Memories

Early morning, August 27, 1955.
Tenjin, the heart of Fukuoka City's bustling downtown.
The Tenjin Market, a row of 108 wooden shacks where the current Fukuoka Bank headquarters stands, was engulfed in flames.
In just a few tens of minutes, 66 buildings were destroyed.
A young woman lost her life, and the total damage amounted to over 140 million yen.
Initially, it was thought to be an accidental fire, but investigators began their investigation based on the unease of "why did it burn so extensively?"
42 pachinko machines disappeared, clothing was pawned, and a "mosquito coil-type gasoline arson device" was identified for the first time in Japan.
What was the tenacious investigation by the Fukuoka Prefectural Police that unraveled this arson case, which left almost no conclusive evidence, using only circumstantial evidence?
Why did a man, driven to desperation by debt, decide to burn down a town?
