Nanahara Takeshi flipped through some old files at the police station and made several phone calls before hurrying off with Kiyomi Liuli to the suburbs to meet with Okuno Yasuharu and Hidaka Tsukasa. Together, they headed to a remote area away from the main roads and found a small villa.
"Miss Asai is in this villa?"
Kiyomi Liuli eyed the villa from a distance, eager to rush in and rescue the hostage, while the exhausted Okuno Yasuharu, who had been on the move all night, flipped through his notebook and said with surprise, "This is the Kimiko residence; we've inquired here before, about... two or three hours ago, I suppose, everything was normal then."
Nanahara Takeshi also observed the villa and immediately asked, "What exactly was the situation?"
