Inspector Yuminaga glanced at his watch and shook his head. "It's too late today, and we don't have a search warrant. The family next door to the victim has children—they must be asleep by now, and they might not let us in. We'll go tomorrow."
The two detectives, still fired up from the investigation, could only put things on hold for now. Everyone went home.
After Genda Takanori returned home, he couldn't sleep at all. He was afraid that the moment he closed his eyes, he would run off to some Fifth Block and burn down another house.
He stayed awake all night. Only in the morning did he suddenly remember what Jiang Xia had said. He hurriedly sent an email to his attending doctor—Morozumi Ryo—hoping to make an appointment and confirm his condition.
Originally, considering that Doctor Morozumi had just lost his wife, as well as his usually busy schedule, Genda Takanori thought Jiang Xia might be disappointed—perhaps the Doctor would not see him at all.
Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after he sent the email, Doctor Morozumi replied:
Something has happened at my home, so I have suspended work and will not be seeing patients for the time being. However, I have always felt that we get along very well. It would not be an exaggeration to call us friends. In that case, I will make an exception for you once more—I am free all day tomorrow, so you can come see me anytime.
Genda Takanori breathed a sigh of relief, deeply moved. Doctor Morozumi truly was a warmhearted person. With his help diagnosing the cause of his mental condition, and Jiang Xia's deductive skills, they should soon find the real culprit.
He really looked forward to seeing medicine and detective work join forces.
