Sakura Osaka!
Today should have been a school day, yet Hattori Heiji hadn't seen his childhood friend come to school all day!
As a detective, an intensely ominous feeling had been rising in his heart!
Especially when he couldn't get in touch with her!
Buzz, buzz...!
Pushing his motorcycle alone along the streets after school, the moment he noticed his phone vibrating in his pocket, a flash of excitement instantly crossed his face!
Because Hattori Heiji thought his childhood friend had replied to his message!
However, when he pulled out his phone and saw the video message sent from Toyama Kazuha's number!
The Osaka high school detective, as famous as Kudo Shinichi, was instantly filled with worry and fury!
Because in the video message, his childhood friend Toyama Kazuha was tightly bound to a chair, her face utterly bloodless, while conspicuous bloodstains covered both her clothes and the floor!
Just as Hattori Heiji was burning with anxiety and preparing to message back, demanding to know who the other party was and what they wanted!
A bloody photograph of a severed finger was sent to his phone again!
An address was attached to the photo, ordering him to go alone to the designated location!
The person messaging him also specifically warned that he was to come alone, or Toyama Kazuha would be killed on the spot!
When Hattori Heiji saw the photo of the severed finger on his phone, he instantly gnashed his teeth, dense blood vessels immediately surfacing in his eyes!
Because he recognized that finger—it belonged to his childhood friend, Toyama Kazuha!
"Damn it!"
After cursing through gritted teeth, Hattori Heiji hurriedly mounted the motorcycle beside him and sped toward the location specified in the photo!
Meanwhile, in an abandoned warehouse somewhere in Osaka, Vodka wore a villainous smile
