Certainly, I was interested in this case, and began to investigate it because I knew who the killer was. But that did not alter the way I investigated it, or the manner in which my investigation proceeded. Naomi Misora, I cannot overlook evil. I cannot forgive it.

By power... you mean strength?”“No. I mean kindness.” He said it so easily. "

Soccer was where I would begin. "
