Please listen with care.
To be honest, I'm scared.
I'm more scared of Morimoto than I am of the yaks.
I mean, he must be the most invincible man in Japan.
The police can't lay a finger on him and neither can the yaks.
Theres no way my missing accountant is the most invincible man in Japan.
But he has been hard to find.
We needed more leads to talk to more people who knew Morimoto well.
Morimoto's former client.
He's the security guy from episode one.
He knew someone caught in Morimoto's web of lies and deceit.
With just a brief phone call and an email, we ended up sitting across from Murata san, Morimoto's former boss.
And wow, he had a story to tell.
That is as soon as he got the hang of the pseudonym we were using.
Morimoto san.
Hey, Morimoto.
Morimoto san.
That's Mirata san.
He's trying his best to adjust to Morimoto's pseudonym.
