" Kuren-san, no not really. hm. I will check the other side. I fear that I may have overlooked the possibility someone could be here. Sensei would scold me... why are you playing with the old food? nevermind I'll move the other room. Yaibei will try to move into the other room quietly.
may be to late but just in case.

The door on the left reveals a tatami room. Definitely the bedroom, the room has a big drawer siting on the back wall, with a closet on the left and glass doors giving on a balcony on the right. The absence of any beds tells you that Ms. Kobayashi probably slept on a futon, which would be tucked away in the closet during the day. The balcony has a view of another apartment building, nothing worth writing home.

A search of the closet reveals 2 futons and 2 pillows in the closet.

The drawer reveals a small photo album, with a picture of an older woman and a younger girl together. Behind the picture is a small note saying "Mizuki and Makoto, Yokohama, '67".

[Lumen]

Kuren searches through every drawer recording as he goes, taking special care to record every photo in the album and runs it through the facial recognition software and a search of the new name.   He then inspects the pillows for any hairs or fibers.


Using vision mag on the pillows.

"Your damn right Tav,  XOXO!"

"Alright Smilez" Mia lays it on thick and throws Smiley a wink "Time to blow this facist popsicle stand? Ain't got a call in from the eyes, so im assuming those others ain't in any trouble but i gotta hope the're done with that place"

[HydroRaven]

@Smiley

Between drinks and flirting with Mia, you receive a message from Aki.

"Smiley-kun, this file was really hard to get but I called in a few favours and got my hands on it. It says Kobayashi-san died of natural causes, those being heart failure. It says the body will be burned tomorrow morning, but I wasn't able to find where.

Here's the interesting bit though: my normal request made through the system was refused by Renraku. Seems she was working there but was not part of the arcology. Be careful Smiley-kun, you still owe me a few dates for this."

[Necrogigas]

With J doing his mage vision thing, Fischer figured it would best if he cleared out until he collected himself. He turned to J and spoke as calmly as he could, "I'm going to get a quick bite to eat while we're wait on the two upstairs, so you can drop the spell. Let me know if any cops come around looking for Smiley, if your spell failed they'll be looking for me too. With that he turned down the alley and headed in a random direction, *Frag, J's getting suspicious of me. I probably have to take him out too. He'll be harder to track than Kuren. Kuren has that P.I. business I can find him at, but the homeless guy... Perhaps once the job's done I should offer him a ride to wherever it is he calls "home." As he walked, Fischer did keep an eye out for someplace to get some food. The excuse had been pretense to leave, but now that he thought about it, he was hungry. He kept checking his commlink, seeing if Sandman had gotten back to him. He knew it was stupid, but Fischer was getting ancy waiting for the intel on Kuren.

[HydroRaven]

@Kuren

Your search of the pillows reveals some hair samples on one of them, but the other pillow looks like it was either washed recently or simply not used.

[Lumen]

Kuren bags up the hair sample and notes it in his log. <One hair sample retrieved.   The other pillow appears unused.>

He patiently waits while Yaibei double checks the rooms behind him. "Once you are done I believe our business here is done.  I need to analyze these samples before our meeting tomorrow."  Then Kuren sends out a message to the team over the secure chat. <Almost done here.  I managed to collect several good samples which should help.  It's fairly obvious our victim was not alone here.  Hopefully the samples will help reveal the identity of the other occupant.

Attn Smiley & Mia:  Do you think trying to inteinterview the neighbors would be worth the time?  Not now of course but it could provide insight assuming they cooperate and don't alert the authorities.>

[Muscular_Bevar]

"Let me pull out the dress ups and shove together a shiny metrocop 'guise and I can grill those mother lickers over hot coals. But im no wasting time here, so see if you cant dig up any data trails or vid feeds of the dead chicka hanging out with the other resi's, kk!"

[Lumen]

A look of confusion crosses Kuren's face as Mia's message comes, *I don't think any grilling is necessary.   The poor folks would need therapy after encountering Mia.  Probably best I do as she suggests. *

He fires back a quick <Affirmative.> before accessing the stores of past camera recordings.  He'd make a copy of the video files to thoroughly examine later.


Let me know if you want more rolls HydrkRaven.

[HydroRaven]

Just as you're sending messages to one another, you hear siren sounds in the distance. A few seconds of quiet listening tell you that they are coming in your direction, and there are at least a few cars.

[Crossbow]

On the team comms Smiley takes charge again. "Okay folks, time to get scarce.  Pipe, can you PLEASE transport Kumen out of the area, J, Yaibei, you know where our bikes are.  Everybody scatter, we'll meet back at the noodle shop in an hour."

Smiley blows Mia a kiss and heads for where he stowed his bike.

[Lumen]

"That's our que Yaibei-san."  Kuren closes the doors and exits the apartment, reengaging the locks before they leave. As they head back towards the street he replies to the others.

<I can find transportation if needed.  There should be a subway station not far away.  I understand if Pipe is discriminate when it comes to passengers.>

[Raiden]

"hai, Don't worry about me, hiding is a specialty of mine" Akio will enter the nearest alley way and remove his out layer of normal clothes so his camo suit can take effect. Its pitch black like a ninja outfit at night, gray/white/black mix match during the day and continue to climb jump and jog his way away from the area.
16dice for infiltration16d6.hits(5)=8.
He makes sure to avoid anything cop related or remotely looking.

[Necrogigas]

Fischer's initial instinct was to flatly refuse, but then realized that this might be a good opportunity to gather information on his intended target, <Fine. Kuren, meet me at the intersection three blocks to the north of the apartment building.> Once Fischer caught sight of Kuren, he had to resist every instinct telling him to draw his gun and put two rounds in the bastard's face. While staring death rays at the detective from behind his sunglasses, Fischer spoke briefly, least his hatred spill into his voice, "My car's a few blocks away. Follow me." With that Fischer lead Kuren on a highly indirect path back to his car, doing all his could on the way to avoid cameras and cops.
