[What a night, huh? Norimune did manage to catch some sleep and a change of clothes after they left the party. As nice as his yukata are, they're not proper work uniforms.

He's in the middle of checking his notes, pouring over them when he received a text message. After a quick glance at the sender's name, he respond back.
]

I am. Are you coming over?

[If it's any other day, Norimune would love to joke and tease. But now is no time for pleasantries and kaomojis.]

Yes, I do. Just black is fine.

[Norimune can always have his leisurely coffee another time.]

[Straight to business, such a familiar state for him. Without missing a beat, he's already shifting his notes aside to make space. And take the thermos to pour the coffee out for both of them. Not one drop will stain his desk (and notes) by mistake.]

But unfortunately, the young miss Ringo got kidnapped in all of that mess. Without a doubt, they took her because of Kaberou being her father.

[A hostage situation...]

As for the dead assassin: His gear and weaponry are heavily improvised. There's evidence of wind-burn on him, along with a unrecognisable tattoo. The style seems like it's from the Jomon era, one of the earliest periods in Japanese history.

Most likely. Captain Shiki and I speculated the Iron Bear and the Haniyasu being possibly connected as a result. But without further information, it's simply speculation at this stage.

[Nothing conclusive, yet. Norimune take a sip of his coffee, feeling the strong flavour filling his mouth. On his desk, there's a sheet of paper with an unfinished, drawn picture. His attempt at recreating the tattoo design, which went rather poorly.]

I'm not surprised. I tried to ask those close to Kaberou. None of them are willing to talk, and their lawyers said they'll "offer a statement to the Department at a later date".

[Whether they will say anything useful or not, those statements might come too late.]

I also get the impression that Kaberou didn't trust us to rescue his daughter. He struck me as the type to do it himself. Personally, I think it'll get messy.
