The next day Naru and Lin showed up at their client's address. Monk, Ayako, John, and Masako were going to arrive later depending on their schedules. However once they saw their client again they noticed a change in his attitude. He seemed more peaceful somehow. Naru walked up to the man with a straight face nonetheless.
"I'm not sure I'll be needing you're services anymore Shibuya-san." Amori told Naru. Naru was surprised to say in the least, of course it didn't show on his face. This had never happened before.
"I must ask what reason you are basing this decision on Amori-san." Naru told the man.
"Well you see...Ai had shown up last night and I think she made the ghost pass on. Since she left I haven't felt like someone was watching my every move or like they wanted to harm me." Amori replied.
"If you don't mind I would like to verify that there is no longer a ghost on this premises. It could be dangerous if this 'Ai' person didn't do anything properly." Naru told Amori. He was surprised that the first case he takes after being back in Japan was stolen from him by that mysterious psychic. Finding out who she is is now a personal objective for Naru. His pride wouldn't allow it otherwise. Amori was a bit surprised at the man's words however decided it was best to allow them their investigation in the end. Once they were shown to their temporary base and side rooms Naru and Lin started to get the required requirement. There wasn't much considering the size of the building honestly. A few hours passed before everyone showed up. Lin had shown them to the base.
"I haven't seen you in forever John!" Monk expressed as he walked over to the priest.
"It's nice to see you again as well Takigawa-san." John replied.
"This'll be great as long as that old hag doesn't show up." Monk said while scratching his head. Just then Ayako came up behind him and slammed her purse into the back of his head.
"What did you say?!" Ayako exclaimed. As they continued to bicker John tried to stop their little fit while Masako watched on with nostalgia. Once Naru was sure this was going nowhere he slammed his little black book gaining everyone's attention.
"First off, Hara-san do you sense any spirits nearby?" Naru asked.
"No, in fact I sense a feeling of calm instead." She told Naru. This did not improve his mood.
"I had recieved this case two days ago. The owner of this complex was being haunted and was attacked. However, it seems that he had contacted a psychic before coming to SPR. Last night he claims that said psychic came and purified the ghost." Naru explained.
"Then why are we here?" Monk asked the most obvious statement.
"The psychic he asked for help from is someone I believe all of you have heard of before. I don't really trust this person just from word of mouth. I would like to make sure that there are no ghost here before we leave." Naru said.
"Oh, I get it. The great Oliver Davis can't handle somebody stealing his thunder. So you want us to make sure that the ghost is really gone or not." Monk exclaimed. At this Ayako and John slightly smile at Monks comment while Lin stole a glance away from the monitors they had recently set up.
"Matsuzaki-san and Hara-san will look around the building. I want you to visit the Manager's' room as well. Try and see if you can sense anything." Naru told them. Ayako and Masako both left with a swift nod of agreement.
"Takigawa and Father Brown, please go and do some research about the building and all of it's occupants and owners." Naru ordered them. It shouldn't take them long due to their location this time. Once they left Lin called Naru over.
"The results are back. She's a student at Tokyo University and works at a maid cafe two blocks away from the office. It seems like she's doing fine. Are you sure you want to contact her Noll?" Lin asked after giving Naru a file concerning the young woman.
"I need to know." Was all Naru said before he went and sat on the couch to read. It was about half an hour for the girls to finally get back to base. Naru wasn't sure why it took them so long but he needed an answer to his question.
"Did you sense anything?" Naru asked the two.
"Nope. Not a dead thing in sight." Ayako breathed as she dropped herself on the couch.
"I didn't sense any ghost either Naru. Just a feeling that a cleansing or purification was done recently by somebody very powerful." Masako told him as she elegantly sat on a chair. This really didn't help Naru's mood. He waited for the guys to return to find anything else out, if there was something. However before the guys returned the manager walked in.
"I would like to inform you about the ghost that was here before." Amori said. Since Naru was still waiting on Monk and John he decided to let Amori-san to talk.
"Last night when Ai…" was all that Amori was able to say before he was interrupted by Monk and Ayako.
"NO WAY!" They both exclaimed. It seemed as if Monk and John had just returned long enough to her Amori mention 'Ai'. Monk charged into the room leaving John behind to find out more.
"You mean the psychic you hired before was The Ai?!" Ayako exclaimed.
"Matsuzaki-san. Takigawa-san." Was all Naru said in an icy tone.
"I'm sorry about my employees interruption. Please continue." Naru told the man.
"Ah, yes. Well Ai had seemed to be speaking to someone in my apartment. After she was done she had informed me that my grandfather had raped and murdered a young woman by the name of Umeki Misaki. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, but after she left this place seems so much more peaceful now." Amori explained not sure if this'll help speed up their process or not.
"Thank you for telling us this. This information might help." Naru said excusing the man. Amori got up and left after the cue.
"Hahahahaha, man Naru you'll not going to get over this one are you? You were beat by Ai! Hahahahaha." Monk laughed. He couldn't believe his luck, first meeting the renowned Dr. Oliver Davis, and now he almost met the mysterious Ai. After a few more laughs from Monk Ayako whacked him on his head once more.
"Will you stop that Hag!" Monk exclaimed while holding his head.
"What?! Do you want to get hit again!" Ayako threatened. Before Monk could answer back however, Naru stood up and walked over to Lin.
"Anything?" Naru asked.
"No." Was Lin's reply. Naru sighed before returning his attention back at the other people in the room with them.
"What did you find out Takigawa, Father Brown?" Naru asked wanting to just leave this case behind him already.
"Not much. It seems like this building is scheduled for deconstruction in about a month, and all of the tenants have already moved out. One person has died here but it was from illness, and they were said to have no grudges. We did find out some about Amori-san though. He recently came in possession of this complex from his father's will. His father had committed suicide and the only thing written on his suicide note was 'I'm Sorry.' It's unclear what he was sorry about. Amori's grandfather was arrested for rapping a nieghbor though he also committed suicide while in jail. His cellmate was told by him that he was being haunted by a young woman's ghost, whom he had raped and killed. The name of said victim was never found out although it is suspected of being Umeki Misaki." Monk informed Naru.
"It seems like we were beat ." Monk added after Naru didn't say anything.
"So it seems. Very well. We shall pack up and leave. We have established that there are no ghost here. If everyone will start packing, I will talk with Amori-san." Naru said before exiting. Everyone looked at each other unsure of how to handle Naru now that he's returned. As Monk Ayako and John started carrying equipment.
"The van's parked on the side. Father Brown, here are the keys." Lin said as he continued on his laptop. John took the keys with hesitation because usually Lin helps them out with the packing to make sure nothing is damaged. He usually doesn't hand the keys to anyone, not even Naru.
"Hey Lin? You contacted everyone who use to work at SPR before you and Naru left right?" Ayako asked.
"Mostly." Lin answered.
"Then who didn't you contact?" Ayako asked hoping he wouldn't say Mai.
"Taniyama-san. If that's it I need to meet up with Oliver. Please take care of the equipment." Lin told her.
