At dawn, a new police line was set up around the Sugamo Apartment building.
The riot squad came fully armed to suppress any potential revolt. The entire first division of the search unit was mobilized, accompanied by a large number of officers to carry out arrests. It took five police cars over ten trips to bring all the lawbreakers into custody.
The police sealed off the underground nightclub, with all minor crooks ending up in detention. As for the higher-ups, they had crafty lawyers to assist in their defense, leading to endless investigations, evidence collection, and disputes... But it goes without saying that the murder charge against Ishii Takamasa would not be upheld.
Regarding the massacre at Sugamo Apartment, Kaga Keido announced the end of the investigation. The truth matched his expectations closely; Nagashima Takeshi and his group were silenced by the gang. Due to the difficulty in gathering evidence, the search department ultimately concluded the case as suicides.
