The Long Zha

Work Day 5

This is one of the most complex crate-moving operations you've had to do yet - take crates from outside the Old Warehouse District over to (New) Warehouse #8, then lift one of the red-marked crates from there to Warehouse #18. The quota is 10, but don't worry - both types of crate count towards your total.

At lunchtime, Goro and Mai will come up to talk to you - it seems they've decided to get married. Ryo is, unsurprisingly, confused about Mai's choice of husband, but doesn't say anything to dissuade the happy couple. Again, you'll be left to your own devices for the remainder of your break.

After lunch, you'll be heading through the plaza by Warehouse #18 when you see Tony and Smith. Although Ryo's notebook says that he has "rarely seen" the pair, they are instantly recognisable since you've already beaten them both up at least three times by this point.

They're not too keen to talk to you though, and you'll be led on a chase through the harbor. This is another "branching" QTE where you're given more than one option at points - some of them are dead ends though, and the following solution will get you the information you need.

Once you've gotten a hold of him, Tony (or Smith, I don't know which is which) will tell you that he doesn't know any details about the Long Zha - only the higher-ups like the Mad Angel boss Terry know anything specific.

You'll be taken directly to the foreman's office after that, where you're given a message from Gui Zhang, telling you to be careful. It now occurs to Ryo that perhaps Master Chen knows something about the Long Zha, and you'll suddenly be in the Old Warehouse District's Warehouse #8.

Master Chen is somewhat frustrated by Ryo's stubbornness, and informs you that Lan Di has nothing to do with the Long Zha - only the lowest members of the Chi You Men are involved in the deal with the Mad Angels. Lan Di was aided by the Mad Angels while in Japan, but that was an attempt by the harbor thugs to get on Chi You Men's good side. Master Chen persuades Ryo to back off for now, and you'll be taken home for the night.

Hazuki Residence

At 11.45pm, Ryo will wake up to get some fresh air. In the hallway, Ine-san asks Ryo if he was just with Nozomi - apparently she hasn't come home, and she told her grandmother that she was meeting Ryo. With excellent timing, the phone rings - it's Chai, and he has Nozomi. You have 4 hours - until 4am - to reach Warehouse #17 at the harbor, or they'll hurt Nozomi.

Sakuragaoka

If you'd been paying attention throughout the earlier part of the game, you'll have noticed a suitable mode of transportation sitting outside a friend's house in Sakuragaoka - Ito's motorbike. His house is beside Yamagishi-san's. Look at the intercom under the name plate on their front gate and Naoyuki will come out and lend you the motorcycle.

Yokosuka

Regardless of how quickly you've gotten the bike, you've only got two minutes to make it from Dobuita to the New Yokosuka Harbor. The road is rather windy and not entirely suitable for high-speed motorbiking, but you don't have much choice. In this section, practice on Hang-On will pay off, and you'll make it to the Harbor in the nick of time.

New Yokosuka Harbor

When you make it to Warehouse #17, the Mad Angels have a welcome party laid out - you've got two consecutive Free Battles against multiple opponents before you make it in to meet Terry. After some threats and grandstanding Terry will release Nozomi and agrees to let you live - as long as you take out Gui Zhang Chen, who's been hampering their smuggling operations for too long. Ry
