The Colony News Service linked lead resulted in little new information, yet a most valuable revelation. The tabloid news outlet Nikkan Gendai was tipped off in written form, with a picture of the crime scene attached to underline the anonymous sources' credibility. Instead of reaching out to us, they started to drool all over a shock story and took everything for granted they were fed. Both the editor, Tsuneharu Kudo and the writer of the article, Mineyo Shirai, have done irreparable damage due to gross negligence. Within the next 72 hours, the Kikosaku doctrine will be carried out against both individuals.

As a sidenote, the State Police Detectives were cooperative for the most part. Following an extended 72 hours house arrest and continued monitoring for a week following this, everything should be alright.

The picture sent to the news outlet urges us to caution. Whoever the assailants were, their motive is clear by now: Frame it as a state sponsored hit carried out by the Republic of Liberty and provoke a public outcry causing the Admiralty to push the civil government towards acceptance of an escalation. Our network caught an communication falling in line with the assailants plan: A call to arms by an yet to be identified source.

The Tokkeitai has a new target: Yotamono. Unrelated to the assailants or not, public unrest risking warfare at this point in time must be silenced.

We will continue to commit to other outstanding leads when possible and will check in again to inform you about our decision.
