How to find the Mochi Mystery Thieves in Like a Dragon Ishin
There are five suspects that stand accused of being the Mochi thieves, but only two of them are guilty.
Once you begin the substory, all five of them will line up against the wall. You can talk to all of them if you want to, but if you speak to Nishiyama he will give you the right answer.
The Mochi thieves are Minamino and Higashihara.
When you’re ready, speak to Doshin and let him know you’ve figured out who the suspects are. You then need to walk up to Minamino and Higashihara to accuse both of them of theft.
Once you have accused them both, you need to confirm that you are sure it’s them. Then, they will admit to taking the Mochi.
