Tanimura's chapter begins with him shaking down a local yakuza member for protection money, immediately establishing his morally ambiguous character. Your first objective is to investigate a murder scene. Follow the objective marker to the designated location. Along the way, you'll likely encounter street thugs, providing an opportunity to practice Tanimura's parry and arrest mechanics. Remember, arresting enemies (Circle after a successful parry or stun) yields more money.

At the crime scene, you'll need to gather clues by interacting with various highlighted objects. Pay close attention to the dialogue and evidence presented. This segment introduces Tanimura's investigative skills. After collecting all necessary information, you'll be directed to interrogate a suspect. This will involve a combat encounter where you'll need to subdue the suspect without killing them, often by using Heat Actions that end in an arrest. Successfully completing the investigation and interrogation will conclude the chapter.
