Mariwaka's Request

Anyway, since you're here and all, there's something you could help me out with. One day, I was walking in the back alley when, out of the blue, some creep ran up and grabbed my purse! I reported it to the police, but I haven't heard anything yet! There's a guy named Pipopa out in front of the police station. Could you ask him about my purse for me? I can't go right now because I'm in the middle of work.

Thanks. I'm counting on you!

Hmmm... you know... it's been really windy lately.

Ah, you're here about Mariwaka's purse. Well... I'm afraid that issue ties into a much larger case, and we've had more urgent issues on our hands. Those back-alley thugs have been running rampant, and we're so shorthanded here that we've been searching for outside help. Please tell Mariwaka she'll have to wait a little longer. Now, if you'll excuse me...
