Part III, Chapter 25, Ushikawa Summary

Ushikawa is in pain as the man in the room with him begins listing details about him. The man knows all about who he is, his work as a private investigator, and knows that he is trailing Aomame and Tengo for Sakigake. But the man doesn't know why Sakigake has an interest in Tengo. Ushikawa lies and tells the unknown man that Sakigake wants to know what the link between Tengo and Aomame is, thinking it might save his life. The man does not believe him because Ushikawa is working alone and not with a team. The man throws a bag over Ushikawa's head, depriving him of air for a few moments, and then Ushikawa confirms that Sakigake does not know there is a connection between Tengo and Aomame.
