He believes that there might be a possibility of having a true culprit however Tachihara's ability can be useful to keep the infection-type ability at bay and says that they would be at loss if they were left without it. Hearing Fukuchi's words regards on his ability, Tachihara gives up on the investigation.

However, Tachihara pulls out a flash drive and says he retrieved it at the Sky Casino and will give the information to the police officers supporting the Armed Detective Agency, the key person advocating them, Deputy Commissioner Yasui. It turns out the flash drive contains the agency's speech about the truth of the case. Tachihara destroyed them at the casino but he manages to retrieve it using his ability.

Fukuchi ponders about recording in the flash drive, although his identity is not spoken of, the tactics of the Decay of the Angel may be inspected. Fukuchi then decides to authorize it however he offers to let him hand it to Yasui since they are close. Jōno interferes and asks Fukuchi if it is alright to hand the flash drive since it contains information put by the agency to disturb the investigation and further says that if it were to be leaked outside, it may cause confusion. Tetchō then reveals to Jōno that the commander talked to the U.N. chairman about the theory of the detectives being the culprits.

Fukuchi then asks if there are any more recordings to which Tachihara says that it is the only one, resulting to Fukuchi saying that it's the more reason to keep it safely.
