When they get information at the publishing company that was the victim’s former workplace, it is revealed that a threatening letter had been sent to Domeki regarding the judging for the Newcomer of the Year award. The words “I’ll kill you” were written in the letter. Inukai thus sends Asuka to a man who is very strong in the publishing industry. He is the successful writer Busujima Shinri (Sasaki Kuranosuke).
