Seikei confirms this suspicion – Tomomi, whose real name is Genji Takezaki, is the thief. Judge Ooka suspects that one of a troop of kabuki players has stolen the jewel and they set off in pursuit. He discovers that it was a real person who disappeared beneath the floor of the inn and escaped through a tunnel. Seikei glimpses the thief, but thinks he has seen an evil spirit of some kind. A fake jewel was found among the belongings of the paper merchant and his daughter. A valuable jewel was stolen from the samurai Hakuseki, who meant to deliver it to the shogun as a present. Along the way Ooka gives Seikei the opportunity to prove that he has what it takes to be a truly great samurai. When he speaks up about what he’s seen to save the lives of some innocent paper merchants, Judge Ooka, the investigator decides to let Seikei help him solve the crime he is investigating surrounding that mysterious figure. He gets his chance when he notices a mysterious figure in the dark while he and his father are staying at an inn. Seikei is the son of a merchant in ancient Japan, but he longs to escape his current station and become a noble samurai – one of the knights of Japan.
