The sky had been gloomy for several days and finally, it started raining heavily.
A police cordon was set up downstairs at the East Sugamo Apartment, with a rain cover tautly spread over the yard, crackling as raindrops hit the plastic.
Minamoto Tamako rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the call. Kujo Yua, in uniform, personally oversaw the operation. The identification officers and the forensic doctors were ready. The criminal police held shovels, awaiting Kazama Tatsuya's identification of the location.
"There," Kazama Tatsuya pointed towards the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva against the wall.
Minamoto Tamako clenched her garment tightly, biting her lower lip, desperately resisting the urge to question Senior Feng. At this moment, she felt like a gambler, putting everything on the line, waiting for the results, knowing she might lose, yet could not help but harbor a sliver of hope.
What if—what if it's not grandpa?
Maybe Senior Feng made a mistake?
