13

At the cottage, Yuriko schedules Keaton for a job interview for tomorrow afternoon at Tozai University. Taihei later arrives to borrow some money from Keaton, who is advised to avoid becoming indebted to a woman. After using the money to buy ten kilograms of beef, Tahei is halted by two Chinese gunrunners asking the whereabouts of a certain Mei Lin. Taihei manages to escape thanks to Taisuke's distraction and Keaton's unseen aid. After Keaton witnesses Taihei buying ten more kilograms of beef the next day, Keaton follows Taihei to an abandoned warehouse. Keaton encounters Pai Li, a young Taiwanese woman who is nurturing Mei Lin, a Malayan tiger. Pai Li's father died a year ago after a mafia of gunrunners called the Red Dragon assumed his enormous debt by confiscating his animal shop. The Red Dragon legally sold Mei Lin to Japan for research purposes, but Taihei and Pai Li managed to rescue Mei Lin and use the warehouse as a hideout. Unfortunately, Taisuke leads the Red Dragon directly to the warehouse. The Red Dragon fall prey to several booby traps set up by Keaton, Taihei and Pai Li, but the mafia boss eventually takes Pai Li as a hostage. Luckily, Mei Lin appears and attacks the mafia boss in time. After the Red Dragon is apprehended, Keaton deduces that the Red Dragon actually wanted to smuggle Tokarev pistols hidden underneath the warehouse floorboards. Due to the incident, Keaton missed out on attending the job interview. (Source: Wikipedia)
