So are Yoriko, owner of a traditional restaurant down the street, and Akifumi, the apprentice at irascible Mr. Why do businessmen walking from the Hamacho neighborhood to the Ningyocho subway station still have their jackets on, while the men coming from Ningyocho have them slung over their shoulders? Naho Kamikawa, the shopkeeper’s granddaughter, feigns indifference as she sits sipping her banana juice with Kaga, but still she’s impressed at his perceptiveness. Rather than focusing on the crime scene in Kodenmacho where Mineko Mitsui was found strangled in her apartment, Kaga begins by looking at the rhythms of the street. The girl at the rice cracker shop is probably the first to notice Kaga’s novel approach to investigation. Demoted back to local policing from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Division, Kyochiro Kaga ( Malice, 2014) makes a deep impression on the quiet Nihonbashi Precinct.
