Part 49: July 28 - July 29 Part 1: Dragnet

-Junes Theme-


Mm? Aaah! You startled me...Don't sneak up on me like that...! Eh? What was I doing? Oh, uh, you know...Investigating...
I'll tell Dojima.
D-Did Dojima-san maybe say anything about it? Just keep this a secret from him...Please!...Wait, what? Clues to catch the suspect?
If I tell you, will you keep quiet!? Okay then...I'm just talking to myself here, but...He supposedly had a part-time job in the shopping district. Where was it? Oh...I don't think they told me that much.

> It seems that Adachi has purposely leaked some information. Where exactly did the suspicious boy work...?

-Heartbeat, Heartbreak-


Lady: Wh-Where'd you hear that from? I told him not to tell anyone...Anyway. Yes, he did work here for a short time. But this was a while ago. I had him cutting the meat, but he got bored with the work very quickly. Hmm...I remember he had black eyes. And what else...Oh yeah. He said the person who worked here before him was his classmate during middle school...I see that kid--his classmate--around here sometimes. Maybe you should talk to him when you see him. I don't know if you'll find him today, but he recently dyed his hair golden brown, so he should be easy to spot.

> You've obtained a lead about the boy. If you can find his golden brown-haired classmate, you'll probably obtain information about the boy...


Young woman: I think you probably want to ask a student for something like that. I've noticed some loud students on the south side of the shopping district on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I heard them shouting "Cram school sucks!" so they probably have cram school Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.



That ema is from a girl at Yasogami High, so it'll have to wait until summer break is over. There are literally no Social Links available this afternoon, either. Let's get Sanzo his actual first cup of horrible Chagall brain coffee.



-Signs of Love-


We haven't done anything together, like a family trip, or going to Junes. Maybe he doesn't get a summer vacation...Can't I give him some of mine?

> Nanako seems somewhat lonely...

Another reason to bring that freak in ASAP. Sanzo and Dojima have more important things to take care of, dammit.





-Heartbeat, Heartbreak-


Student: You wanna see his picture? Heh heh, you do, don't you? Well, today's your lucky day, because me and my friend are going around showing it to everyone! Want a copy?

> Obtained the boy's picture. There is no doubt that the boy in the picture is the one you saw on the Midnight Channel...A name is written below the picture:



> So this is the suspicious boy's name...You should report to Rise.

-Junes Theme-


But man...the culprit's a kid? I can't even imagine what it's like for a kid my age to kill someone...
I'd be scared if you could. Some people are just like that, though...
It's true what they say...It takes all types to make a world.
Haha...You sound like you speak from experience...
It pisses me off that we gotta go in and rescue a bastard like that...But we can't just let him die, I guess.
Let's get him out before the fog sets in. There's a lot we need to ask him.
Yeah...His motives, the method he used, all that stuff...There's too much we still don't know.
All right! Time to get fired up!

-Deduction-

> You showed the picture of Mitsuo Kubo to the others.


It's settled, then. He is the killer...and he's in here now!
This guy came to our shop before...Was he...spying on me? Oh my God...I really was being targeted...
Dammit! Freakin' punk!
Hey, I've seen him somewhere before too...Hmm...
Oh, now I remember! Yukiko, it's that one guy!
That one guy...?
"Yeah, you know, that guy from the thing!"
Back in April, remember!? He suddenly came and started hitting on you!
Oh, him! The dude who got served by Yukiko in front of the school! Man, Chie, how'd you remember something like that!?
Well, that was the first time he talked to her, but I remember he was always following her around.
Um...Sorry, who are we talking about?
The dude who came right up to you at the school gates and called you Yuki!
Ohhhh...
Uhh...Really?
Wait, did he kidnap Yukiko to get back at her for rejecting him!?
Um...I didn't really reject him...
He came up to me while I was busy working and asked, "Don't the biker gangs bother you?" Just going on and on about how biker gangs can't do anything unless they're in a pack and stuff. He seemed to be the type who just keeps talking, whether you like it or not...if that makes sense. I usually treat those people politely so they don't get offended, but I was so tired that I kinda ignored him. Was that why I was kidnapped...?
Huh...? Wait, I'm not a biker!
Ugh...That damn special report...So that's why I got dragged into this.
You know, I heard he's been saying stuff about that announcer's affair, too. Lots of muttering about how women who cheat on their husbands should be executed.
Sounds like it's all coming together...Well, it's time for a showdown!
Can you tell where this Mitsuo guy's at?
I'll give it a try. Just a sec...


...Yeah, I found him! He's that way.
Alright, let's go! We're so close to the killer...We can't lose him now!


What is this...? Some kinda game?
Well, he did taunt us, saying "Try and catch me"...I guess he thinks of all this as a game.
Ohhh, this pisses me off! I hereby sentence him to a hundred kicks to the face!
Let's go!
Let the games begin!
Gotta admit...All guys love games.
And all girls love Teddie!

> You have pinpointed Mitsuo Kubo's location. All that's left is to reach him where he's waiting...You should prepare yourselves to find and apprehend him.
