Chapter 21

The sun was about to rise. And Tatsuo had spent the night in his office. Sitting in his armchair, he waited for news of the two men Satoru had sent to follow Yin. The tension was evident on his face, his brows furrowed. Tatsuo stared at his empty whiskey glass.

When he hears knocking at the door, at the same time Satoru's voice saying:

"Mr. Tatsuo, are you in there? It's me, Satoru."

"Whew!" Sighed Tatsuo annoyed. " Yes, I am, Satoru. You may come in."

Satoru immediately noticed by the tone of his voice that Tatsuo was not in a good mood and went inside without delay. Upon entering, Satoru found him sitting in his armchair, holding an empty glass. He looked around and saw that the papers on the desk remained intact and that the bottle of whiskey on the tray was considerably full. But it was clear that Tatsuo had spent the whole night in the office, for his eyes showed the tiredness of someone who had not slept a night.
