The serial bomber next leaves a bomb in a convenience store. Once again, the bomb is remotely controlled but this time, the bomber is giving orders through Kazuhiko Satō(佐藤 和彦), a store employee. Sergeant Kaoru happened to be using the restroom when this happens and is taken hostage along with two other customers by Kazuhiko whois following the bomber's instructions given through the phone.

Characters appearing/mentioned in the story

Kazuhiko Satō(佐藤 和彦) - Moga Mart convenience store employee who brandishes a knife to take three hostages including Sergeant Kaoru after declaring that there is a bomb in the store. He says that there was a note left on the store counter, and on it, someone had written instructions to immediately call the phone number written on that note. Since then, he had been following the bomber's instructions. The bomber hadn't made any demands, monetary or otherwise.

Inspector Ukyo thinks this it odd that this last case varies greatly from the other two bombing cases. The other two bombs were detonated away from people at times when people were not likely to be around. The suspect didn't contact anyone after the last two explosions.

The bomber must stay within a 1 km radius to remotely detonate the bomb, and he or she could be tracked down if he or she continuously stays on the phone. It turns out that the bomber is calling from a cellphone from the Okikubo area.

Midori Satō(佐藤 美登里) - Kazuhiko's wife. She got into a fight with Kazuhiko and as a result went to Haneda airport to fly back to her jikka(実家 her birth family's home). While waiting for her flight, one of her friends called and told her about the situation at Moga Mart. She then made her way from the airport to the van Sōichi was using as negotiation headquarters. A short time later, Kazuhiko calls, saying that he made a deal with the bomber to release the hostages.

Yukio Sakazaki(坂崎 由紀雄) - The true bomber. He calls Sergeant Kameyama's cellphone right after two hostages are released. Because the Sergeant is still tied up, Kazuhiko picks instead. Sakazuki tells Kazuhiko that he is the real bomber and orders Sakazuki to keep Sergeant Kameyama hostage. Sakazaki then orders Kazuhiko to ask the sergeant if he figured out who the bomber is and that he already gave two hints. When the Sergeant replies that he doesn't know, Sakazaki gives another hint by setting off a third bomb, this time attached to a motorcycle at Suidou Oohashi. He threatens to set off another bomb, this time with casualties, if Sergeant Kaoru can't remember who he is. Hearing all this, Inspector Ukyō deduces that the bomber must be referring to a case Sergeant Kaoru handled before he was transferred to Tokumeigakari, because the inspector can't recall any case from those three locations.

The motorcycle he blew up was model VX400 produced by Towa Motors(十和モーターズ Tōwa Mōtāzu) in 2000.

He ran an Internet business making T-shirts using pictures sent by the purchaser. Tired of misfortunes in his life, he had considered blowing himself up and had gathered the necessary parts to do so, but he changed his mind after receiving one particular order...

Yoshioka(吉岡) - Member of the special investigative team.
