What you do
Masako is getting nowhere with Hina, so Jin goes in to calm her and promises to try to keep her husband alive. That works, and Hina gives up what she knows. You step outside with Masako for a moment, then hear a scream from the house. From there it becomes a tracking job: find the trail, follow it, and deal with the Mongols holding the man you are after.
Objectives
Go to the Adachi Estate. Talk to Hina, then to Masako, and take a short walk with her. Run back to Hina. Talk to Masako. Head to the search area and find the killer's trail. Follow it, save him from his captors, and check his body.

He refuses to give up his brother and dies, but he carries the supply route map you need.
