The next morning, Fushimi Roku was woken up by the sound of a phone.
Minamoto Tamako called him to drop off Sakurako at school and then meet at the police station. Doctor Arima agreed to a home visit, and now they needed to continue questioning the suspect.
Fushimi Roku sensed that Minamoto Tamako's mood seemed to have returned to normal, and was even more spirited than usual.
"Uh... did you chat with Moriyama Yasurou all night?" he was a bit worried that Moriyama Yasurou might have betrayed him or spoken ill of him.
"Not really, just talked for over an hour. I got back too late and decided to stay over at Yasurou's house."
Minamoto Tamako paused and added, "Are you on a secret mission today?"
Fushimi Roku initially wanted to slack off, but then reconsidered and asked, "Is Abe there?"
"He is, I asked Chief Kikuchi to have him transferred here to assist with the investigation..."
