EXPECT HOTEL?! THAT'S
SOME- JUST AROUND &
THING LIKE THE CORNER
THIS TO FROM HERE.

Every few days, | will move to a

| different hotel in the Tokyo area.

| would like the task force office

in the NPA building to serve as
a front from now on
with my hotel room serving as the
de facto center of the investigation.

Of course, this is a defensive measure to prevent Kira

from learning what | look like, and | realize this means |
will have an unfair advantage over all of you in that regard.

However, this is as far | am able to go at this point in order

to gain your trust and work with you on this investigation.

If you are able to cooperate with me on these terms,

please split into two teams and come to my room by
midnight, that is by the year 2004, leaving at least a
30-minute interval between the two teams. Watari will
hand you a memo with my room number.

FOUND ON HIM, AND
NOTHING IS PRINTED ON
