"Sigh, there's really no other way."
Please forgive me.
The man in black robes spoke with a mixture of helplessness and apology.
But to Shuichi Akai, this was undoubtedly a threat:
“If we don’t make a deal, I can’t guarantee she can continue living like this.”
After saying this, the man in black robes fell silent.
Covering his mouth, he removed the lower half of his mask and slowly savored his cappuccino.
The matter of intelligence is too complex, so he gave Shuichi Akai some time to think it over.
He wasn't worried that Shuichi Akai would refuse.
If he really rejects this deal, then he's just mistaken about the person.
As the man in black robes uttered these seemingly helpless but actually threatening words, the deal reached a stalemate.
On one side were the fearless men in black robes.
On the other side is Shuichi Akai, who has his own reservations.
At this moment, Shuichi Akai was also wondering about the identity of the man in black.
He considered himself to be fairly good at gathering intelligence.
Like deduction, intelligence gathering requires some clues.
Without clues, the process cannot proceed.
The man in black robes in front of me is in this situation; there are too few clues.
He had carefully inspected the items in Judy's house.
They also successfully extracted the fingerprints of the two people from the kitchen and sofa.

Although the man in the black robe wasn't very tall, he was definitely taller than the boy.
The possibility of using methods to fake increased height cannot be ruled out.
There were other main reasons why he thought it was unlikely:
Because Guangyou's background and experiences are too easy to investigate, and too clean.
Abandoned as a child, he entered an orphanage.
After the welfare home closed down, he lived alone.
She later moved into the Mori family's home and is currently a student in Class 1-B at Teitan Elementary School.
If there's anything that could make him suspicious, it's probably the few years that Guangyou lived alone.
But what exactly did this child go through to become like this?
He didn't investigate these things in great detail; he only found out that Guangyou had worked odd jobs in some shops at the time.
However, he would not completely rule out the possibility of Kōyū because of this.
There was another reason that made him suspicious of Guangyou.
