The plot of this book is really confusing and reminds me of "White Night Journey" by Keigo Higashino. The lonely old man and mysterious disappearances in the book lead readers to uncover the truth step by step. I really like this kind of suspenseful story, especially Mitarai's help, which made me feel like I was solving a case. Looking forward to more exciting works from the author!
