Chapitre 29: The Fourth Case (5)

After the manager at the post office provides me with the name and address on Yuri's letter, I waste no time in running a background check on this "Hosu" character. As I sit at my desk, my fingers flying over the keyboard, I can feel the anticipation building in my chest, the hope that this lead will finally give us the break we need in the case.

But as the results start to filter in, my heart sinks with each new piece of information. According to the database, Hosu is not some mysterious accomplice or secret contact - he's Yuri's younger brother.

I dig deeper, searching for any hint of a connection between the siblings that might shed light on the investigation. But there's nothing.

With a heavy sigh, I lean back in my chair, rubbing my tired eyes. This lead is a dead end, just another false hope in a case that seems to be nothing but dead ends and false hopes.
