Summary of Finder’s “Innocent Eyes” Chapter 5
This is what I could gather up until now from summaries, talking to someone who has the magazine already and seeing some photos. My own magazine is still trying to find it’s way out of Japan -.-
Back at the Hotel in Warsaw Asami and his men prepare to attack the mansion of Dr. Simon Novak. Information on this man and on him having been the one to manipulate Akihito has been brought to Asami by Fei Long and Mikhail who caught and questioned Sakazaki in the chapter before.
Kirishima hands Asami some armor gear, but Asami doesn’t want to put it on because he thinks it will slow him down. Luckily for him, however, his mom secretary man is adamant about it and Asami puts it on.
On arrival at the mansion they split up, with Asami and Alex searching the basement, while Kirishima, Suoh and their men take the upper floors. Suoh very nonchalantly kills a poor innocent glass-window with his hand. Quickly both parties happen upon some geared up enemies and gun-fighting starts.
While Asami and Alex can dispose of those in the basement, Kirishima calls in telling them that they are set upon heavily. Alex then tells Asami to go back up and help them, because he says there’s nothing in the basement to be found except more enemies. Asami however wants to keep searching down there. He tells Alex to split up and Alex gives in to that rather dismissively.
At some point Asami ends up in a greenhouse finding Akihito there, dressed up in his cat-woman Halloween costume a combat suit and his eyes looking very much as if they’re clouded by drugs again. He raises his gut at Asami and tries to shoot him but Asami shoots the gun out of his hands. Instead Akihito then attacks him with a knife and oh boy he had some training in this! Asami can dodge it, nonetheless, then catches Akihito in an embrace. Startled by this, Akihito’s eyes seem to clear up.
Then there’s an attack, somebody throwing a grenade at them, and when the blast pushes them onto the ground, Akihito cries out to Asami and holds onto him wanting to protect him. When he gets back up he is very distressed and confused about why he felt he should protect Asami when he is his enemy. He takes up the knife again, trying to attack and telling Asami that he will kill him.
Alex then appears behind them, injects something into Akihito’s neck with a tiny syringe and Akihito passes out. Asami throws Akihito over his shoulder and carries him back to the cars. Kirishima drives them out of there with Alex on the front passenger-seat and Asami and Akihito in the back. Asami put Akihito down next to him and rested his head on his thigh.
End of Chapter - next will be out on February 28th 2022
This leaves a great many open question but the first and major ones coming to my mind:
- Why was the mansion prepared for the attack? Why were the goons there already in combat armor. Why was Akihito in his combat outfit, armed and ready, waiting in the greenhouse between roses? I mean… it’s not the usual stuff you wear when you go for a stroll in the greenery.
- Where was Simon? Where was Sudou?
There’s a snitch with Asami and my bet will remain on Alex. I think it’s very obvious to be honest.
The only thing that comes to my mind to explain is that it’s a trap. And I hope that this time Asami is more aware of it. Last time he knew it was a trap but let down his guard nonetheless. Hopefully he learned from that.
