Approach the Old Warehouse District after 7:00pm and notice there's no guard standing outside. As you approach, Ryo automatically ducks down out of view from the guard in the station. Ryo bumps his head and knocks down a flashlight. Quickly press the right directional button when prompted to catch the flashlight. If you fail, Ryo will attempt to enter again - to succeed you must save the flashlight from falling.

The next sequence takes place inside the Old Warehouse District. You're equipped with a flashlight, which can be used to identify the numbers on each warehouse. You must avoid detection by the patrolling guards. Do so by pressing the A key near boxes, walls, crates, etc. Ryo will hide behind these in an attempt to avoid detection.

Tom has made the trip from Dobuita and can offer information, and later in the game he'll offer you a new combat move.

Your start location lies in the southwest section of the district (if the top center faces north). Warehouse 8 is in the northeast section. The fastest way is through the center along a diagonal course. Hide from any guards approaching your position and run forward when guards are moving away from you. When you near 8, Ryo will shine the light indicating your position. Locate the door and press A to quickly get inside.

If guards catch Ryo, they simply throw him out of the district. Ryo then returns automatically and attempts again the next day. Should he repeatedly get caught, the homeless man (mentioned earlier) will assist with a map, guard positions, and the exact location of warehouse 8, depending on how many times you have failed.

Guards and gates block the entrance to the Old Warehouse District - you must wait until nightfall!

Once inside the warehouse, walk forward and approach the shelves. Press A and Ryo reaches out for a plate - but knocks it down! The disturbance summons two men, one of whom is Master Chen. Watch the extended cutscene to learn valuable new information regarding your father's death, Lan Di, and the mirror connection. Ryo is automatically sent home after the meeting with Master Chen. He wakes up the next day at 8:30am.

NOTEBOOK Entries: "Met with Master Chen in Old Warehouse #8. Lan Di is leader of a Chinese organization called Chi You Men. He uses a deadly martial art style. It seems another mirror, called the Phoenix Mirror, exists. Password: Heaven, Dragon, Earth, Comrades. The Phoenix Mirror must be somewhere in our house... it's my only lead so... I must find it!"
