At Police Force HQ, the investigation was still going on. Evidence from the warehouse were collected, but no lead so far.

Harry: Hello?

Cromwell: Hey, Harry. It's me.

Harry: Hey, Cromwell.

Cromwell: Did you get the package I sent you?

Harry: Yeah, it's pretty wild stuff.

Cromwell: (sighs) The crime lab is getting nowhere with this. What do you make of it?

Harry: Well, the easy ones the tire tread sample. I tested the residue you sent, and the tires are made from silicon steel fiber alloy. It's only used on high-performance cars. It's not unique, but it's hard to come by.

Cromwell: Hmm... What about the bullets?

Harry: Now that. In my 15 years with Special Forces, I've never seen gold used in any weapon. But for practical purposes gold is a very soft metal. So the bullets expand and deform on high impact. They make little holes on the way in and big holes on the way out. And they are much harder to match the ballistic signatures. That makes them relatively untraceable.

Cromwell: That doesn't make sense if the bullet casings have his initial name on it. And he left those everywhere.

Harry: Yeah. Shinigami. Yeah, I don't get it. He must be one sick bastard, like he wanted to be found out.

Cromwell: Yeah, or he's bragging. Or just plain careless. This Shinigami has to be working for someone to get that kind of financial backing. You think he's a gun for hire?

Harry: Or he could be a vigilante. That's the word on the street.

Cromwell: Either way, one thing's for sure. He has his eyes set on Cappuccino.

Harry: Heh, well then you both have something in common.

Cromwell: hehe. Yeah. If that's true, I have a hunch where this Shinigami will show up next. Hey, I gotta go. See you, Harry.

Harry: Later.

He hangs up and leaves. Walking past Tsukauchi who received a call.

Tsukauchi: Yes.

Toshinori: Naomasa, it's me.

Tsukauchi: Toshinori. Like I said we don't have any leads.

Toshinori: There must be something.

Tsukauchi: There isn't. Look I'm busy right now. Bye.

Toshinori: Wai-

He ended the call and walks out of the office.
