Should I say it was a stroke of good luck? After agreeing to help Mukiwa investigate this "Street Killing Incident," Aoto was actually prepared for a long haul.
After all, there were just the two of them, with no additional manpower or resources to call upon. Relying solely on the method of "waiting for the hare" to catch the suspect, who knows how long they might have to wait.
But who would've thought—on the first night after agreeing to help Mukiwa, they encountered a very suspicious suspect…
Sometimes Aoto felt that his luck was indeed quite peculiar.
Some very unlikely events often happened to suddenly fall on him.
Just over a month ago, after the Red-faced Brothers were reported to have fled from Kansai to Kantou, the Edo Magistrate's Office held a meeting to remind the officials in the "Three Times" case to be cautious of this pair of brothers during street patrols.
