‘I said this earlier as well, but this is not actually something I can show you. Please do keep that in mind.’

Recently, with privacy protection acts as such, even if you said you were police, you couldn’t easily get documents and investigations were delayed.

'That is fine. It is not as if I will take it out with me.'

The manager said, ‘I see,’ and let go of Ishii’s arm, but there was still a feeling of anxiety there.

It seemed like it would be better to look at it before the manager’s mind changed.

Ishii took the contract documents for the flat out of the envelope and flipped through the pages. The rent for the flat they lived in was one hundred fifty thousand a month.

It was an appropriate amount for a relatively new 2LDK outside of the twenty-three wards of Tokyo.

He flipped through some more pages.

When he looked at the leaseholder column, he suddenly let out an ‘Ah’ of surprise.

The manager looked over to see what had happened.

Ishii went back to the page to check the address, apartment name and room number. It was definitely the one he had received last night.

'Excuse me. This contract is definitely for that room, correct?'

'Yes.'

'This is definitely the leaseholder's name as well.'

'Yes.'

'Are you certain?'

'A copy of a licence is attached at the very end,' said the manager, sounding tired at Ishii's insistent questioning.

'Licence.'

Ishii opened up to the last page like he had been told to.

Just as the person in charge had said, there was a copy of a licence attached. The ink was blurred and the photo wasn’t clear, so he couldn’t confirm it. However, he could confirm the name.

'What is this…'

Ishii stood up in his agitation.

The person in charge looked at Ishii blankly.

Ishii had just found something serious. He couldn’t pin down the agitation boiling up inside him.

'Yakumo-kun, you here?'

Haruka visited Yakumo’s secret hiding place and found Yakumo staring at something seriously.

That gaze was on a necklace with a red stone on top of the table.

He had received that necklace along with a letter from a boy on a road by the river after the last case.

'What? You again?'

Yakumo noticed Haruka and said that with a yawn. Really, what was with his attitude?

'I'll leave then. Even though I went all this way to help you with what you asked.'

'You should say that first.'

What? It sounded like he was saying she shouldn’t come unless she had something to do.

Though Haruka felt dissatisfied, she took the seat opposite Yakumo and handed over the diary and memo.

'I'm done, but I couldn't do all of it. I left some parts out since I didn't understand them.'

'That's more than enough. You've helped me out.'

Without checking the contents, Yakumo took them and placed them in his shirt’s breast pocket.

For some reason, he didn’t seem like the usual Yakumo.

'Hey, what are you thinking?'

'I was lamenting the future of somebody as carefree as you.'

This person was just – he really thought of the most impudent things.

'You don't have to worry – a bright future's waiting for me.
