Their Sufferings Went Beyond His Guesses

Assistant Ikehara was a really reliable and efficient employee.

Within just a day, he found a private investigator and arranged for the detective to meet his boss in a restaurant. His employer had specifically asked to handle everything discreetly.

The private investigator was called Detective Otake Shoji. Already reaching his early 40s, he had more than a decade of experience in this field.

Kousuke met Detective Otake at a restaurant on the outskirts of the city. He gave the details regarding Heisuke and his family to the private investigator.

Old photos of Heisuke and Mrs. Saeki were also given to Detective Otake.

"I need to know how he lived after he and his mother fled the city. Get as many details as you can, even what he has been doing recently. Money is not an issue. But, keep everything to yourself."

"Give me at least one week. I'll contact you if there's anything new," promised Detective Otake.
