Minamoto Tamako wanted to approach and ask about the situation, but the assistant immediately took a step to the side, blocking her way, and said gently, "Sorry, Chief Kujo hopes you can get some good rest and avoid getting involved in any more murder cases for the time being."
"It's not right for you to do this, how can you restrict someone's freedom?" Tamako pouted.
"Please understand Chief Kujo's good intentions, Miss Tamako. She doesn't want you to get hurt again," the assistant said seriously.
Even though she hadn't been involved in frontline criminal cases for a while, she knew very well how low the chances were of recovering a missing person case these days... even if there were new leads, it would likely be a false hope.
Even if the person was found, it might not be a good thing, after all, the missing person was probably a human puzzle when recovered.
