Monday Morning (9:30 am)......
The Puzzler: *looking at Tantei and the others searching for clues* (He thinks that there are really more clues around here. Well even if they were to find the clue, then that'll only allow me to get to my destination faster.)
Tantei and others: *keep on looking for clues on the ground*
The Puzzler: *still watching from behind a wall and chuckles* These little children, thinking they can catch me. It's kind of cute. Maybe I should leave some more clues: make it fun for myself.
As he looks at Tantei and the others, The Puzzler's grin under his mask seems to get larger and larger.
The Puzzler: *talking in disguised deep voice* This reminds me of back in the day- running around with that little twerp. Brat was always faster than me. Despite that, I managed to outrun him a few times. Oh, such nice memories those days were. I wonder, where'd it all go wrong? *checks his watch* Would you look at the time: Guess I need to go back to my work.
The Puzzler starts walking down the street, becoming blurred into the crowd.
Meanwhile in Fujio Hirono's Writing Studio ...
Studio Assistant (to Stranger 1): Have you been in contact with Mr. Hirono by any chance?
Interviewer 1: Unfortunately not. I have not seen him since Saturday. I'm kind of worried: he has been out of touch for a while now.
Studio Assistant: He was working on Friday. He told me he had planned to take the weekend off, but never told me the reason.
Interviewer 1: Now you tell me this? Couldn't you have told me this on Friday then?
Studio Assistant: Apologies- things have been very hectic recently.
Interviewer 1: Hectic my ass- you got a job to do, so why don't you stop making excuses and do your damn job ...
Interviewer 2: Oi! Calm the hell down. We ain't getting anywhere with this.
Interviewer 1: You're right- I'm sorry I lost my cool.
Studio Assistant: All is well.
Interviewer 2: I wonder if this has to do with his brother Taisei being murdered a few years back. He still seems down about it to this day.
Interviewer 1: Murdered?! Who killed his brother?
Studio Assistant: Apparently Taisei was murdered by The Puzzler.
Interviewer 2: Indeed. Taisei was apparently the first murder from The Puzzler too. Makes you wonder why him of all people.
Interviewer 1: Maybe he knew him?
Studio Assistant: I heard Fujio and Taisei were close rivals growing up when it came to pretty much everything. Could it have been Fujio enacting revenge on his brother??
Interviewer 1 & 2: *starts chuckling a bit*
Interviewer 1: That's a good one.
Studio Secretary walks in.
Secretary: That's enough chit chat- we have more paperwork to file.
Studio Assistant: *grunts* yes ma'am.
Back to the current situation (10 am)....
The Puzzler: *finishes up with what seems to be a music box since there looks to be a handle on the side of it* There, everything should be set. *continues to speak in his disguised deep voice* It's only a matter of time now, that they finally find out which place I will be targeting. *places the box down* hahahaha..... *laughs quietly and walks away as they still search for a clue* It's time. *continues to go on ahead*
