Lost Judgment Walkthrough Chapter 10 Catch A Tiger Part 2 Public Security?!

The following day, Yagami and Saori visit Ehara at the detention center. He is told that Mamiya informed them he wanted a sexual battery alibi to avenge his son and humiliate the law by getting away with murder. Ehara acts clueless and declines an appeal but states he was informed of Toshiro's bullying by Kuwana, through a recorded call between him and Sawa. He says Kuwana also approached other families of bullying victims with an offer of justice, and those that rejected his offer did not report him. An exchange on the effectiveness of the laws causes Ehara to lose his temper and briefly admit to committing murder. Yagami tells him as a result of the murder, Sawa was killed as collateral damage, then states he will get justice for her as Ehara did for Toshiro. Ehara agrees to an appeal to humiliate the court again, but states he will not admit to killing Mikoshiba. Saori fills everyone in Genda Law Office on what happened. When Saori mentions proceeding with the appeal, Genda tells her they have no evidence of Mikoshiba's murder due to prosecution claiming the murder video was fake. Angered by being made a fool of, Saori states they should not consider the prosecutors' opinion, and that Ehara enjoyed seeing her duty to uphold the law even though she did not believe him to be guilty of sexual assault. Yagami is determined to get the appeal to expose Kuwana, and the trial is the best place to do so. Yagami and Sugiura return to Yokohama 99 and inform Tsukumo of what they learned, but they are still unaware of why RK is targeting Kuwana. Yagami notes they went after Kuwana when the learned Shinya Kawai was killed, but they cannot get information out of low-ranking RK members. While wandering, Yagami receives a call from Saori. She states that something Ehara said is causing her to be concerned: Kuwana approaching many parents with his offer. Since Kuwana's first victim was Kawai, his own homeroom's bully, she states it is very likely he approached Reiko Kusumoto with the same offer. If she accepted, she would have committed a crime, meaning it is possible she sent RK to silence Kuwana to tie a loose end. Yagami asks Tsukumo to look into Kusumoto again. Kusumoto was appointed to the position of vice minister earlier in the year, and there are little to no negative articles about her. Yagami states if someone in a position like hers was backing RK, they would be confident enough to commit something as risky as murder. Sugiura considers meeting Kusumoto, and Yagami suggests meeting her in the hospital her son is in. Just then, Tsukumo displays a news broadcast of a manhunt for Yu Kitakata under the premise that he is Sawa's murderer. Yagami is left confused by the police searching for Kuwana rather than the true murderer Soma, and Tsukumo brings up the camera footage of Kuwana also containing footage of RK. Yagami phones Watanabe for answers, and he states they are hunting Kuwana because of orders from the higher-ups. Noticing Watanabe's frustration, Yagami asks to meet him, but he hangs up. Tsukumo, however, was able to pinpoint Watanabe's location from background noise. Yagami meets Watanabe and Sakurai in Chinatown, stating he has a feeling something is interfering with their jobs. Watanabe leaves Sakurai and they both head to Hamakita Park. There, Watanabe states Kuwana using an alias and surfacing near the home of his former student makes him look suspicious enough. When Yagami asks of Soma, Watanabe states there was no camera footage of Soma and RK at the apartment complex. The higher-ups bad been in a frenzy following the release of Mikoshiba's murder footage, and states someone in a position of power is staging a cover-up, starting with removing any camera footage with RK members in it. Hopeless, Watanabe states Kuwana will be killed and made to look like an accident, and the mastermind is too powerful to be stopped. Enrages by his reluctance, Yagami provokes Watanabe to a fight. After Watanabe is defeated, Yagami makes clear his determination to give Sawa closure, causing Watanabe to relent. He tells Yagami that Kanagawa police higher-ups immediately put Kuwana as a suspect as soon as Sawa's case was opened, and the NPA stated information on Kuwana came from the Public Security branch. Watanabe states Public Security may have an interest in RK's criminal network, as after the Tojo Clan disbanded, many criminals went underground, and letting RK roam free means being able to monitor criminals. He also asked public security of information regarding Soma, but they had no record of him. They are intending to pin the blame on Kuwana and close Sawa's case with his death to keep their conspiracy secret. Watanabe receives a call informing him Kuwana was spotted in Ijincho in the Geomijul's territory. Watanabe requests Yagami fill Kuwana in, but not mention whom he got his intel from, then departs.
