In the daylight hours, the police officers, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu are investigating the murder when Choromatsu happens to join them. Todomatsu tells him that the victim, Karamatsu died after being stabbed in the back. The murder weapon is shown and it appears to be a large knife. As with there being not enough evidence and not knowing about the suspect, Choromatsu thinks that the case might end up being cold; however, none of them are aware that near the entrance, Ichimatsu is there, wearing a hockey mask and knifes covered in blood.
