The person outside was Kuke.
The Third-Class Officer of the Dort District.
According to Arthur's original estimation, the man should have appeared here only after James's death—and that, too, after some deliberate leading on.
However, he had shown up directly.
'Did someone give him a tip?'
'Was it his father, the one mentioned in the rumors?'
Arthur speculated, yet he did not slow his actions.
He did not go to open the door.
Instead, he prepared some necessary props.
Standing at the door of No. 2 Cork Street was Kuke.
The Third-Class Officer of the Dort District, having not slept well the previous night, wore an expression of deep fatigue, and his heart was filled with anxiety and unease—following Malz's warning yesterday, this Third-Class Officer did not return to his home next to the Dort District Police Station but left the town straightaway to go to his father's farm.
