[Naoto nods in agreement. For a detective, she certainly has feelings about the police and the justice system. Very, very strong feelings.]

Yes. I was once on a case where they ignored obvious evidence that the culprit was still at large, just so they could arrest a suspect. I don't doubt that something similar could be happening here--if the true culprit is difficult to catch, they very well might arrest an innocent man for publicity.

[She would like to say that such things wouldn't happen--but she's been in this field for far too long to have such delusions.]

That's the assumption I've been running under, as well. Legality of their actions aside, what do they gain from all of this? What's their motive?
