Nanahara Takeshi took the job, casually asking for fifty thousand yen, the same rate as the "Potted Plant Body Disposal Case," but he didn't hurry off. After getting the address, he asked Yatsuka Minoru to go back and soothe his wife and daughters first; he would investigate at dusk.
Yatsuka Minoru had no objections. Fifty thousand yen was just a week's salary for him, and he could afford it. Dusk is the time that divides the realms of yin and yang and, in Japanese folklore, is the time when one is most likely to encounter ghosts. It made sense to investigate during this time—if something was discovered at dusk, it would be best to resolve it that very night.
After politely expressing his thanks, he bid farewell and left. Kiyomi Liuli tidied up the table, her brows furrowed, saying, "It's so strange, what could be the reason?"
Nanahara Takeshi stroked his chin, pondering, "It's hard to say, this is my first time dealing with something like this."
