Arishima was his superior in Changsha, Manchuria, and later in the police department as well. Shugo couldn’t easily decline a favor from him. The job Arishima asked of him was a missing persons case: the disappearance of a girl from a wealthy family.

She begs him to find her missing twin sister. But Yura’s father, Kozuki Keiichiro, tells Shugo:
