The Detective's Gamble
This plan is way too risky...
August 20
The owner suddenly called everyone back to the lodge.
...
Wait.
Don't tell me...
Is this what Shin meant yesterday?
When he said the owner had to make the first move?
...
This is totally his plan.
At first, everyone looked confused.
The owner simply explained that there might be an important detail everyone had overlooked during the investigation.
Reasonable enough.
...
Then I looked at Shin.
...
He's smirking.
Again.
Please.
Hide it a little, would you?
You're making it painfully obvious that this whole thing was your idea.
I had to resist the urge to facepalm.
Honestly...
Your detective face needs some work.
The more I thought about it...
The more I realized what he was trying to do.
Either...
He wanted everyone to reenact what happened that day.
Or...
He wanted every witness gathered in one place so he could observe their reactions.
Trying to expose the culprit.
...
Shin...
Being a detective is cool and all.
But...
Are you sure this plan is going to work?
It's risky.
Way too risky.
If the real culprit realizes what you're doing...
What if they decide to come after you next?
...
And besides...
It's not like I'll magically recover every memory just because I returned to the lodge.
This...
Isn't exactly how I imagined revisiting the accident scene.
...
Still...
If this really is the only way to uncover the truth...
I guess all I can do...
Is trust Detective Shin.
...
Even if his poker face is absolutely terrible.
