Oota Saburo has a home address that can be found in the company records with minimal difficulty, but upon checking out the address, Shun will discover that the place is apparently (judging by the name on the mailbox) occupied by someone named Maeda.
Or it was occupied. It's a small, cheap apartment that shows signs of having been hastily vacated. Insects are buzzing around a half-full kitchen trash can, there are three old futons still spread out in the bedroom with sheets kicked aside, and some old newspapers and unopened mail clutter the kitchen counter. The last newspaper on the counter is dated the day before the department store caught fire.
The unopened mail consists of: an electricity bill in the name of Maeda Shinnosuke; a couple of junk advertisements, one addressed to Maeda, one to Oota Saburo and a third to "Occupant"; and a postcard with an ink painting of a pilgrim at the Ise shrine on the front, and the text "Thank you for completing your work successfully" on the back. It's postmarked from Ikebukuro, addressed to "Maeda" and not signed.
Three paycheck envelopes from the Yamada corporation are also on the counter, but they've been ripped open and the checks are gone.
Among a handful of discarded hangers in the bedroom closet is a piece of silk brocade, already cut to shape to be sewn into a charm.
(Let us know if there's anything else in specific that they'd investigate around the apartment/further questions you have, and we will be happy to provide that information!)
