That thoughtful sound, that Dojima let out when he was mulling over something. Now, Adachi could absolutely be lying to him right now.
But... frankly? Didn't seem like he had the will or energy for it. Dojima'd ruined the 'game', so to speak, by calling his bluff, and showing he wasn't just a powerless human anymore.
"Certain someone, huh."
Wouldn't be Naoto Shirogane. She wouldn't have put her reputation on the line and got caught in that web if she didn't believe in pursuing the truth. Yosuke Hanamura was also not likely. It'd come out during interviews with other Junes employees that he had an obvious crush on Saki Konishi, and though he was an idiot and lacked self control at times, it was clear that her death had helped motivate him into finding her killer, in retrospect.
Taking another deep pull, of his cig--
...But there was someone they both knew who tended to take on too much. Who wanted to fix things. Fix people. Who despite his maturity...
Was only a 17 year old kid, put into stressful situation after stressful situation... fearing the loss of his cousin...
"And I'm guessing..." Slowly letting the smoke leave his lips as he watched Adachi, "Probably helped destroy any evidence to prove your connection to the case, right?"
Because that was just the smart thing to do. Get Souji to do his dirty work, just like he'd gotten Namatame to put people in the tv, by taking advantage of someone in a state of grief and emotional stress.
