The police concluded that from the outset the target was Yabuta Matane and his entourage. The demand for the release of the bank robbers and the two bombs detonation at places located a few blocks from the diner were all part of Kaneuma's plan to outwit the police.
"There are two things that we will discuss this time," said Uda Harido. "The first, of course, is about the hostage-taking that led to the kidnapping of Yabuta Matane and his entourage. The second one is regarding Tsukamoto's whereabouts."
Mano didn't forget that the thing that brought them to the Shinkankyo restaurant was Tsukamoto's matter. So even if something else was going on, they absolutely couldn't rule out Tsukamoto's matter.
"Right! That's the thing I want to talk about right now," said Nakatsura. His face brightened after Uda mentioned it.
"Did you guys really see Tsukamoto at that place?" Asked Uda.
Mano looked at Nakatsura, but that man just smiled. Mano then turned her face to Uda.
"Last night I have already told you. At the restaurant, indeed we saw a person who looked similar to Tsukamoto. Maybe Mr. Nakatsura can explain it more clearly."
Last night, Mano called Uda and told him briefly about their encounter with the person they thought was Tsukamoto.
"What if those two things are related?" Nakatsura did not immediately explain about their meeting with Tsukamoto but he instead asked them a question.
"The gang not only kidnapped Yabuta Matane and his entourage, but they also kidnapped Tsukamoto and his two friends. So it's possible that Tsukamoto and Yabuta actually know each other," said Mano.
"The hostage-taking incident that led to the kidnapping of several people is indeed bizarre. If the target of the mob was Yabuta, why did they end up kidnapping eleven people? Wouldn't that make it more difficult for them to move?" Said Uda.
"It is worth noting that Tsukamoto and two of his friends disguised themselves as a media crew. We don't know what their actual intentions were. Do they just want to extract a statement from Yabuta, or are they actually conducting an investigation related to Yabuta? What if the events of Tsukamoto's disappearance five years ago related to Yabuta? Last night I received a crucial piece of information. Five years ago, when Tsukamoto went to Hiriku to photograph the Fire Peacock, Yabuta also visited Hiriku. He was there for about two weeks."
