On the other hand, Kindaichi was finally woke up from unconsciousness, was surprised in shocked when he was at the room of the old Rose Hotel 10 years ago. That very moment, Black Masked Rose (Rosa Lilac) enters in, making him to be surprised.

" It was you... why did you bring me here in this place? "

" Quite very obvious, isn't it, Detective Hajime Kindaichi? I brought you here because I wanted you to stayed here, just the two of us and no one can get in our way between us. " with amusement on her face

" You wanted me to become your prisoner here forever?! After those years that you have been rescued me from the fire 10 years ago and you left me without telling me. Since then, I tried to forget about the terrifying past between us and to focused on my future, along with my close friends who were supporting me when I have problems in my life. After all, you have became the worst murderer... no... the worst killer. You have killed anyone without mercy is because you wanted me so much! You took everything from me! All I wanted is freedom and to lived normal and peaceful without hatred and miseries. " with a fit of anger on his face

Making her to be angry in rage, she attempted to attacked him by her knife but Kindaichi provoked it, and a violent struggle ensues. After a few minutes later, he hit the weapon on her face, making her mask was cut off into two pieces. After that, he run off from the room and he jumped through a window, leaving her, kneeling down on the floor, gnarling, revealed her hidden ugly figure on her face. And so, she flipped up her black cape and then she went out, going to after him.

Kindaichi, was finally made out of the old building, was hiding in a large tree at the forest. After a few minutes, he runs quickly, in order to catch up with Jerry and the others. As he runs, he thought on his mind " I will make sure that I will gonna tell to them about this. Everyone will be getting so very worried about me including Miyuki. I need to act faster so that she will never catch me. "

And he kept on running, quickly.

On the other side, Jerry along with Rika and Miyuki were still searching for clues in the forest.

" Did you find anything? " Jerry asked

" No, not yet, Jerry. It was too hard to find something in here. I hope Hajime was okay out there and he was never been hurt so badly by Rosa. " Miyuki said, with a worried expression on her face

" I hope it will never let it that to happened, Miss Nanase. If we will gonna find the main clue and then we should rescued him no matter what. " Rika said to her, with determination expression on her face

" Thanks, Miss Rikako. " Miyuki said, with a smile on her face

" Yes, what is it, Miss Nanase? " turned her head, slowly

" Do you really love Mr. Akechi so much? "

" Well... " then she paused for a moment and after a few minutes, she went on " Despite all of those wonderful moments that I have with him for all those years, but the moment that I was very close to him, I feel in myself that I will never let him go from me, and I have realized that protecting someone whom you truly loved with is most stronger way of a true love relationship. "

" I see about it. I have no doubt that a strong and brave police lady just like you to be in a relationship with a superintendent police officer despite that you two are both getting mature adult that much. Just I did the same way to Hajime. "

" Yeah... " nodded her head, in a silent manner

" What's it? " Rika asked

And they looked their heads up, saw the old building of the Rose Hotel.

" No way... is that... the old building of the Rose Hotel that it was burned by the fire 10 years ago?! " Rika said in a surprise manner

" All the entire floors of this hotel were covered in cobwebs. " Miyuki said

" Because it was already getting old because of the fire incident 10 years ago. I think this floor where Master Kindaichi met Miss Rosa Lilac a long time ago. " Jerry stated

" But how did you know that, Jerry? Hajime never tells me about that from before. " Miyuki asked

" I have read his diary a week ago when he was out of the office, buying some foods outside. It was been placed on his desk at that time. Everyone were went out for a break time except for me, that I have already finished my foods early in the morning. It was stated that he had met her when he was 7 years old. Before she became the mysterious Black Masked Rose, Miss Rosa was actually a well skilled music composer but she has a deformed figure on the left side of her face. " Jerry stated

" Why not? What was really happened to her face? " Miyuki asked, with curiosity

" She was been hit by a flammable muratic acid when she was very young kid a long time ago. Despite of her horrible condition, she was still struggling hard to finished her studies by composing musics. Her inspirations were the music composers Beethoven and Mozart." Jerry said in response

" Wow! I can't believe that she was a well skilled music composer. And then what happened next? " Miyuki asked

" I will explained all of it later. " Jerry said and he turned to Rika, asked " Do you found something, Rika? "

" I think I found something here... under in a piano table. " Rika said in response

He kneel down, pointed his flashlight to a sheet of paper that it was scattered on the floor.

" What's this? " Jerry wondered and he picked the paper from the piano table.

Then, he looks at the contents, in a silent manner.

" What was on that paper sheet, Jerry? " Rika asked

After a few seconds, he was surprised.

" What is it, Jerry? What was on that sheet of paper? " Miyuki asked

But suddenly, Jerry's cellphone was ringing on his pocket.

" I will get it " and he gets it from his pocket, opened it up and then he asked " Hello? Who was it? "

" Big great news, Jerry. We have found Master Kindaichi. " Tom answered in response
