While O's is trying to evades the mysterious soldiers, the scene shifts to the Irie Clinic, where Dr. Irie is checking on Shion, who is baffled at his patient being tied up in a straitjacket which Takano stated that this is standard procedure as she is experiencing some emotional imbalance related to menstruation, which Irie followed her advice for now, and then she suggested that she be sedated.
"Sedate her…? Sedate her while she is experiencing menstruation? I'm not sure…"
"Trust me…I have knowledge in OB Gynecology…"
"If you say so…"
As Irie is about to apply an injective sedative, Ankh, still in possession of Shinichi Kudo's body, barges in, and confronts the two, thus interrupting them as Irie demands Ankh to identify himself, yet Takano glances at the intruder carefully and she seemingly recognized the face as she has seen him several times before. After a minute of glancing she is able to deduce that he is Shinichi Kudo despite the spiked-up hair and its hair color, and decided to act immediately or else things would go bad.
"Well, well, well…the famous Shinichi Kudo…quite an honor coming here at Hinamizawa Village…"
"Shinichi Kudo…? The teen detective I heard on the newspaper? What brings him here…? Wait…how can you be sure he's him? Look at his hair…it's quite different from the one I saw from the newspaper pictures…it could be anyone, Takano…we'd better call for…"
"At ease, Irie…IT IS him…but his success went way over his head…thus he is "fame-drunk"…so now he's here strutting and would cause trouble and then set us up to make it appear that we're the bad guys here…isn't that right, Mr. Kudo…you wanted to be the center of attraction, and now you found the perfect spotlight to make yourself look good, hmm…? Well, now…aren't you going to introduce yourself to us and then tell us why barged your way here in this peaceful clinic…?"
"Takano…he's not listening…"
"Which shows that the youth today wanted to make themselves look like celebrities by making an appearance then strut around…"
But Ankh is unperturbed by her claims and demanded that she stop whatever she is doing which Takano smugly rebutted, but then her eyes widened as he revealed his "monster hand" and smashes a model skeleton to pieces which also shocked Irie as he backed away while Ankh eyes Takano.

At first Takano thought she is just witnessing a special effects prop but then realized that it wasn't after smashing the model skeleton and Irie can tell that it was no ordinary glove, as he could see that it appeared to be organic in appearance and moved like a real arm would and is backing away further, not knowing what to do next as he is unwilling to provoke an assault from someone who resembles Shinichi Kudo.
"Wh…what is that…?"
"Okay, Mr. Kudo…your dyed hair-do is one thing…but using a special effects like that glove…you wouldn't want to hurt anyone or else risk your famed reputation…"
"Let's cut the chase and get things on with our business…I have no care about this village…but someone asked me…if not beg me…to use my assistance in solving this place's dark secret…"
"What…? Secret? What are you babbling about…"
"Takano…what is going on here?"
"Takano, huh? Better not waste my time…my hand here is getting impatient…I would rather collect Core Medals instead of doing some mystery-solving trash, yet I'm reluctant to help Mr. Kudo here…"
The atmosphere inside the Irie Clinic became tense as Takano is surprised to see Shinichi Kudo brandishing his "monster hand" and there he began the conversation by interrogating her about giving "treatments" to the three teens – Keiichi Maebara, Rena Ryugu, and now Shion Sonozaki, which resulted in the three teens becoming mentally unstable, and Takano is further surprised at how he is able to learn the effects of the Hinamizawa Syndrome.
"What you claim is baseless…better not let your fame dictate your foolish actions…"
"Nice try…but the one you see right now is just a shell…Shinichi Kudo is taking a nap…right now I'm taking over this body…and the name's Ankh…I'm a Greed…and soon you humans will succumb to your greediness and your deepest, darkest desire…and once I regenerate my body I won't be needing this human body for a vessel…"
"What nonsense are you babbling about?"
Irie is confused at the conversation between Ankh and Takano so he chose not to verbally interfere and listen on to see where the discussion would lead to, though he is starting to suspect that the discussion is connected to the Hinamizawa Syndrome and the three teens he had seen earlier and now with Shion here being restrained.
"You're fame is getting to your head, boy…"
"Say what you want…Shinichi Kudo mentally told me what he saw from the incidents earlier…a Rena Ryugu and a certain Shion Sonozaki received injection treatments from you…I scanned their memories and learned that you gave them the drugs…drugs that accelerates the symptoms of this syndrome that drove the host body insane with hallucinations…and once it reaches its maximum strength, the body will scratch its neck until it bleeds to death…a formication I believe…"
"You're spewing silly accusations…prove your point…and if you can't…leave this place…or rather I can sue you for false accusations and slander…even oral defamation…"
Takano resorted to use alibis to cover her tracks which appeared to work as she pointed Ankh that he has no proof and that she claims that she will sue him for oral defamation and even claimed that even the "great detective Shinichi Kudo" can be prosecuted for slander and false accusations and his reputation would be ostracized, but then she got another surprise at what Ankh is about to say.
"Sorry…it appeared that you're not listening or paying attention to what I said earlier…I think you're referring to this body…and I'm taking it over for now. The "someone" you're facing is me…and the name's Ankh. I'm a Greed…and I'm capable to accessing memory information of other bodies…and I can even detect other bodies…especially one stuffed inside here…"
"What stupidities are you spewing at?"
"This…"
Ankh went to a nearby freezer and uses his "monster hand" to smash the lock and opened it revealing the body of Jirou Tomitake, his ID still intact on his clothing after he is pulled out and this surprised Irie further as Ankh drags the frozen corpse out. Glancing at the corpse's ID it is shown that Tomitake is a freelance photographer, but then an idea popped in his head and smirked at Takano.
"So you think I can't get past your alibis, eh? Then maybe I can get answers from the dead…"
"What? You're crazy!"
"Takano…what is this? What's he trying to say?"
"Don't listen to him! It's obvious that Shinichi Kudo is high on drugs! Just like international celebrities that went high after getting drunk on fame…!"
Ignoring what Takano said to Irie, Ankh detaches himself from Shinichi's body and then attaches itself on Tomitake's right arm, which it moves and altered his hair color, surprising the two as Ankh began to access on his memories and discovered crucial information that would further shed light on the situation within Hinamizawa.
"What…?"
"That…that hand…it…just attached to that corpse…wait…you know about this, Takano? What is that corpse doing inside that freezer?"
As Takano ignores Irie's queries, the Greed went to work and the chain of events began to play as the Ankh began to get some vital information from Tomitake's memories. The information that Ankh first receive revealed that Tomitake Jirou, at first, appears to be an ordinary photographer that specializes in pictures of local birds. He visits Hinamizawa about three times every year and is known by the villagers. Tomitake also seems to know a lot about the village and its history, although this may be in part due to his relationship with his girlfriend Takano Miyo, who has a deep interest in the subject.
He gets along well with Miyo Takano, because of their similar interests in photography and that he is the lover of Takano. Despite being only an occasional visitor, he seems to know a fair amount about Hinamizawa's past. It is revealed, in later sequences, however, that he was actually murdered by Miyo, who gives him an injection of the H173 drug, produced in the process of developing a cure for the Hinamizawa Syndrome, but has the exact opposite effect (incurring the symptoms of the disease instead).
Delving further into Tomitake's memories, Ankh slowly discovered that Tomitake is actually an officer of an organization called "Tokyo". He visits the village to inspect the research on the syndrome and disguises himself as a photographer while doing so. He was sent to be the main liason between "Tokyo" and the Irie Institution. Delving further, he came to discover an organization behind Tomitake and Takano, being connected to this "Tokyo".
"Tokyo" is an organization plotting the whole murder and massacre of Hinamizawa Village. "Tokyo" members consist of very powerful figures such as governmental and political people. Within this organization, there are the two main members who investigate directly in Hinamizawa Village: Takano Miyo, and Tomitake Jirou, with Irie Kyosuke being approached by Tokyo to help Takano in finding a cure which was a lie to keep him from suspecting their ulterior motive. "Tokyo" has control over a large group of soldiers, known as the Yamainu, a counter-intelligence force under the control of "Tokyo". Though they are initially there to protect those working at the Irie Clinic, they are hired by Takano Miyo to help her carry out her plan to destroy Hinamizawa. Along with being involved in committing the intended "Great Hinamizawa Disaster", they are also required to silence any survivors of the disaster and/or anyone from Hinamizawa who was outside the area of the massacre.
Lastly, before succumbing to the Hinamizawa Syndrome, Tomitake was able to witness Takano injecting the same drugs on the three teens, which are faster versions which she tested it to know how fast the syndrome works on the victims so that she can make progress in destroying Hinamizawa Village in a faster way and to save time.
After getting enough information, Ankh detaches from Tomitake's body and re-attaches itself to Shinichi's body, and Takano saw this and there Ankh, now in possession of Shinichi's body again, told her what he found out from Tomitake's memories, which slowly earned Irie's doubt towards Takano after hearing what Ankh just said after repossessing Shinichi's body. While he denied it at first, Irie is now starting to take Ankh's words at heart after pointing out that Tomitake's death is due to Takano's doing and points out that she would do the same to him once she finds Irie's usefulness is no longer needed.
"So…all of this is your doing, Takano…?"
"Don't listen to him…he's lying…"
"After finding the corpse inside that freezer…and then Shion acting like that…and you want me to sedate her…I think you have a lot of explaining to do…and I want an answer right here and right now…!"
As Irie now tells Takano that she has lied to him all this time, he demanded an answer from her, but then their tirades are interrupted at seeing O's entering the clinic with the Taka Candroid leading the way and it also shows that O's is already there and saw and heard what Ankh said about the intended massacre of the villagers in this village.
"So…you intend to massacre everyone here in this village using that drug you put on that girl…then…so that's how that girl and Rena Ryugu began acting like crazy…it was your doing! You intend to kill everyone here…yet you practice medicine? You have no right to become a doctor!"
"Looks like my work here is done…Kyuji…let's go…I want to leave here and concentrate on finding the other Greed here and get my Core Medals back…"
"But, Ankh…huh?"
However, before O's and Ankh are about to argue, problem arose as members of the enigmatic "Yamainu" arrived and opened fire at them using their silencer guns at O's while Ankh grabbed Irie and both hid behind a steel cabinet while O's uses his armored body to shield them from the Yamainu's assaults just as Takano is being escorted out of the clinic, and she tells the soldiers to bomb the clinic if needed just a s long as the intruders and Irie are prevented from exposing their plans. Takano then proceeded to leave the village in an alternate route while the Yamainu troopers opened fire while others are planting bombs all over the clinic.

Okay…more and MORE revelations shown…
The soldiers who attacked O's are among the characters of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni…and they're finally revealed to be in conspiracy with Takano. They are called the "Yamainu" – they are a counter-intelligence force under the control of "Tokyo". Though they are initially there to protect Furude Rika and those working at the Irie Clinic, they are hired by Takano Miyo to help her carry out her plan to destroy Hinamizawa.
Thanks to Ankh, he is able to get some vital information about the Yamainu and Tokyo…but a Greed doing detective work? It's not like him…but then again this may be Shinichi Kudo's doing…perhaps he may have subconsciously persuaded the Greed to do the "detective grunt work" on his behalf…
Preview:
Ankh and O's deals with the Yamainu troopers while dealing with the final victim of the Hinamizawa Syndrome as another Yummy emerges…thus causing more trouble for the two heroes…
And…another Greed appear and takes an interest in the Hinamizawa crisis…by now you should know which Greed is this since this arc involves a cicada…
