An Envelope Arrives for Fujita-san

3

(A simple envelope with a business card inside. Sugiyama Onsen, Ito. On the back, in Miyagawa’s writing: “This is the onsen I told you about for rest and relaxation. Please ask for Madame Yasutaki and she will treat you well.” There is also a train ticket for Ito, dates flexible.)

  3. The information came a lot earlier than I’d expected. I was thoroughly convinced this Miyagawa was a sloth. But he’s antsy for me to do the job for this Mama-san. Is she his financier? But no matter, they’ve made Hide their target and so they are -mine-. I take a hit on my cig and proceed to open the envelope.

    An open train ticket and my mouth gapes a bit. Sugiyama Onsen in Ito… How in the hell?! I grit my teeth and smoke a bit more. What did Miyagawa say? That Yasutake wanted Hide for embezzlement for the Tanaka group? I scoff, helping the Tanaka group indeed. -No- that was Miyagawa because Aioi identified him as a visitor in Tanaka’s estate and something else back then in Kyoto… And as for this -witch-, well -I- know what happened in Osaka.

    But the witch hiding in Ito -complicates- things. I wonder what is the state of the Prefectural police there? And how about those who knew Hide and I? I light another cigarette. -Damn-.

    But nothing will be gained by sitting here. Miyagawa -first-. She’s next and I don’t care if I have to kill her in plain daylight. I’ll take my chances. After all, this is part of the orderly closure of this place. I stand by the window and finish my cigarette. It’s getting dark.

    I should get back to Aioi but will she be there? I made her work tonight didn’t I? But I can wait for her at the machiya.
