"Hm... " Fractal thinks about Lips ideas. "The difficulties in that is creating a situation which could lead to Madame Kykuya being kept apart from the tea-house, in just one day.... That's a little bit difficult, but it seems manageable. The thing I don't quite agree with you is putting the name of the guy who would benefit the most from all this deal on the thing. Remember that Mayuri has already asked to leave, and people on the administration of the tea-house may have some ideas of why... It wouldn't be good to the couple if their history is too self-evident."
He's face, now unpretending, seems concerned. "Let's keep it all in mind, as you said, as a progress idea. But we need more information."
As Lips is about to call his contact, Fractal decides to do the same. After all, most Yakuza man are well know to spot some well elaborated tattoos - their irezumi - made in a very antiquated - they would call it traditional way. Well, there was not many tattooists in Denver (or in North America) with knowledge of the ancient technique. There's that dwarf in Seattle and his assistant, and fortunately, there's Inkling: which happens to be no less no more than Fractal's roommate! Maybe he may have heard something about Shigeo Iijima or this Yoshiro, this distrcit Yakuza lieutnant.
@Inkling: "Hey, Damien, have you some moments to spare? If you have, I'd just like to know if you have heard of some names. Shijeo Iijima and Yoshiro. They are both Yakuza guys, and the second seens to be their lieutnant from this district. [Fractal provides a ling for his GPS location.] If you know anything, or maybe know of anyone who may know anything, give me a call, okay? Oh, and thanks for feeding the cat last night!
PS.: I left some beer in the refrigerator, but the organizer bot keeps taken it and putting it on wine box. I guess it's time for us to try to repair that damn thing. It has already spoiled a lot of things, but now he touch our booze! That's war!"
