13 You "Let's get back to her then." [Conclude.]
14 Kim Kitsuragi "No. If there is reasonable suspicion, we must investigate. Otherwise she could claim we're siding with the Union. Or that we're on their take. We'd never hear the end of it..."

15 Kim Kitsuragi "What I propose is -- we ask her. Then we investigate. *Briefly*..." He adjusts his glasses. "But do *not* share the outcome of this investigation with her. We tell her it's done and demand for her information on the lynching."
