In this chapter, we learn that the Tachibana gang has found the room where the murder took place. We learn that it took them a long time to find the room, and that they had to use a robot to find it. They also learn that they have found some dogs to watch over the room. They're going to report back to the government later, but first, they need to figure out what's going on with the money-making machine. First, they figure out that the boss is dead, and then they'll figure out if there's any family left in the world. Then they can figure out how to get the money out of the man's hands. Finally, they decide to give it to the girl, who's wearing a ring that looks like a crown. She gives it to him, and he gives it back to her. He says that he's pretty sure he got the ring, because it's "sheesh determin . . sheer determin- ation" . He also says that if the girl doesn't inherit the money, then it'll all get confiscated by the government.
