The pair of siblings, Jaime and Sophie, had been transported directly to Kyoto ever since they were brought out of Tokyo. 1
At this time, the pair of siblings were imprisoned in a house less than two kilometers away from this place. 1
A few ninjas from the Iga family were in charge of guarding and keeping an eye on them, 7
They were all waiting for Yoshito's order. If Yoshito gave them the order to take action, then they would kill the brother and sister immediately before secretly transporting their dead bodies to the Ito family mansion. 2
However, before Yoshito issued any orders to them, they would have to keep the pair of siblings alive. Otherwise, it would not be convenient for them to transport and smuggle their dead bodies into the Ito family mansion if their bodies were to turn stiff after they had already died for quite some time. 2
The ninjas from the Iga family were the best at assassination. In their experience, the most convenient time for a person to move a corpse was within one hour after their death. At this time, the corpse would still be relatively soft and flexible, and it would even be possible to pack them into a suitcase. However, if they were to exceed this timeframe, then the corpse would have already turned stiff and rigid. 6
So, they were already prepared to kill the siblings immediately after receiving Yoshito's order. After that, they would then then transport their corpses to the Ito family mansion directly before looking for a suitable place to hide their corpses there. 3
Yoshito had just given them a call ten minutes ago to ask them to check out the situation at the Ito family mansion.
First of all, he wanted them to take a look at the Ito family mansion’s defence and security so they could determine the weakest link. After that, they would also have to look for a suitable place to hide the corpse. After determining everything, then they could kill the pair of siblings before bringing them over to the Ito family mansion directly. 2
So, one of the Iga ninjas sneaked into the Ito family's mansion alone as he was preparing to scout the site and its surroundings first. 5
Charlie, who was in Nanako’s room at this time, discovered this man's presence.
This man stayed high up on the wall as he observed the situation for a moment. It seemed as though he had decided on Nanako’s remote and secluded courtyard. After looking around and observing for a little longer, he took out his cell phone and took a few pictures before he slid down the wall quietly as he prepared to leave. 3
At this time, Charlie stood up before he told Nanako, "I
will go out for a while. Just wait for me here." 7
