Saitou goes over
Chou's report then tosses it in the air, saying
it's not enough. Chou grows furious with his
superior, but into the room busts two vendors
with a delivery of soba and sushi. Without a
second glance, Chou identifies them as Yahiko
and Misao in disguise. The kids don't know how
the former Juppon Gatana member saw through
their disguises, but then realize that their
effort to sneak in was put to waste when Chief
Uramura simply lets Aoshi and Megumi, who were
with them, in.
Yahiko gets straight
to the point and asks Saitou for Enishi's location.
After Saitou refuses to even hint at the answer,
Yahiko asks if he's willing to trade information.
There's no need to, however, since Saitou already
knows the truth about Kaoru's death. Documents
taken from the basement in Enishi's former hideout
by Chou containing great detail of Kaoru's physical
appearance and information of one person being
able to fit in the Iwanbou model's belly is
enough evidence. Though, Saitou doesn't really
care if Kaoru is dead or alive. What's more
important to himself and the police is finding
Enishi, rather than the verification of one
girl's life. Yahiko bargains with Saitou again,
this time asking to take full responsibility
of searching for Kaoru; that way, Saitou can
completely focus on locating Enishi. Saitou
accepts the offer on the count of everyone stops
bothering him. He's unsure of the exact location
at the moment, but guesses that it may be at
the Arakawa rivermouth. Without a minute to
waste, Yahiko and Misao dart off.
Aoshi and Megumi
leave the police station a couple of minutes
after Yahiko and Misao, once the former Oniwa
Banshu leader concludes a brief conversation
with Saitou. However, Aoshi separates from Megumi
to set a trap for his expected guest. Meanwhile,
the ferry arrives at Enishi's hidden island.
Gein prepares to make his departure, and so
does Kaoru.
