More than an hour later,
Aoyama Xiu Xin and two others returned to Police Headquarters.
The meeting continued.
With her long hair cascading over her shoulders, wearing a silver-gray suit, Asai Ayumi stood at the forefront, pointing at a map as she briefed on the terrain of the arrest site happening tonight.
"This is the Maple Restaurant, located at the crossroads, surrounded by a variety of shops, so there's a high volume of pedestrian traffic, especially in the evenings..."
"The Maple Restaurant isn't large, with only four staff members. Takeda Ichiro must have memorized their faces by now, so we can't go undercover as waitstaff. The three private rooms on the second floor by the window can see all the street activity, and with Takeda's cunning, he will most likely book the entire restaurant first and then choose one of the private rooms upstairs."
