Friday night (Same day of the funeral) 8:03 pm.........

Tantei: *at his apartment looking at his laptop and writing notes in his notebook showing that he's doing homework*

.................

Genji: *at his home constantly pressing buttons on his game controller while intensely focused on his game*

.................

Ryo: *scrubbing the sink of his bathroom*

.....................

Tomoko: *at her place stirring food in a pot*

.....................

Fujio Hirono: *in his house writing a letter with his fireplace in front of him* It's really sad... *says while mumbling and then speaking aloud* And really unfortunate, brother. *after a moment, he continues to write the letter with a straight face*

........................

Tantei, Tomoko, Genji, and Ryo: *have sorrowful looks on their faces from their apartments and then continue by saying* Why did it have to be you, boss?

..........................

30 minutes later (8:33 pm).....

Tantei: *stops writing and stretches* Alright, I'm done with this part at least.

Phone chimes.....

Tantei: *picks up his phone and looks at the message*

In a private message chat....

Fujio Hirono: "Hey Tantei, hope everything is going well. Do you mind if I come visit you tonight? You can bring some of your friends with you too."

Outside of the private message chat...........

Tantei: *shocked but then gets mad*

In a group message chat......

Tantei: "Guys. It's my uncle. He's coming to visit!"

Genji: "Are You Serious!?"

Saori: "At this time!?"

Tomoko: "Now?"

Ryo: "Wow"

Tantei: "I'm pretty sure you can guess why I'm telling you guys this"

Tomoko: "Yep."

Genji: "Oh boy"

Saori: "Yeah"

Ryo: "Understood"

Tantei: "Let's continue using the bait plan"

Ryo: "Hold on"

Tantei: "What is it? Did something happen?"

Ryo: "No, I just think we could come up with another plan"

Tomoko: "hmmmmm"

Genji: "Ok........."

Saori: "Alright."

Tantei: "So I take it you have something else in mind?"

Ryo: "Kind of, but with our minds together, we can think of something better"

Tomoko: "I got an idea"

Genji: "That was fast"

Tantei: "Let's hear it"

Tomoko: "We'll have everyone go out for dinner, allowing us to lower his guard down with alcohol and just casual talk"

Saori: "..Is that it?"
