"From what he said before, he probably told you that he's suspicious of one of us again." Inufu Kaozi explained, "So we went to find him to find out why he's suspicious of us."

"But he seemed very scared, so he didn't say anything when he saw us." Inufu Zen also spread his hands, looking helpless.

"It feels like the criminal is among the four of us," Inubushi Chiaki echoed.

"So, were the four of you together in Tokyo the whole time, or did you act separately?" Tang Ze asked.

"We all went together, but came back separately," Inubushi Yukihime explained.

"Small steel balls?" Shancuncao looked stunned.

"Actually, that old man really likes playing Pachinko." Inufu Zen also explained: "I originally thought that it was just a small steel ball that fell out of his pocket and he hadn't finished playing with it..."

"And a ping-pong ball was found next to Miko, who died sleeping near the swamp." Inufushi Chiaki agreed with a somewhat grim expression.
