Urging Hui Dalang to gather all the neighbors and friends of Granny Ping, Aoto successfully identified a person who perfectly matched his suspect profile: Granny Ping's childhood friend—Jinzāburō.
It was quite fortunate that a few people knew where this Jinzāburō lived.
After requesting those who knew Jinzāburō's address to lead him to the person's residence, before he had a chance to reach for the door, Aoto saw an elderly man, looking anxious, burst through the door with a large cloth bag on his back.
Noticing the large cloth bag on the man's back, along with the obvious scratch marks on the back of his left hand, Aoto's gaze immediately grew intense.
While reporting his name to the old man, he slightly lowered his center of gravity and raised his right arm, ready to respond to any sudden incidents.
