Togusa had enough trust to sit with his back to the rest of the place, but it was really to angle himself to sit without the sun in his eyes. If Tim can read Japanese, he'll be able to tell that the book is J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. If not, it's just a blue and white book written in kanji. Togusa casually pulls the envelope out of the book and drops it on the table, as if he was just using it as a bookmark.

"The day to day work? There's not much difference between the two. Investigative journalism and investigative detective work require a lot of the same skills. Patience, the ability to go through a lot of paperwork, and people skills." Togusa smiles mock-charmingly at his last words.

He's unsure if Tim will want to open the reports here, but he'll give him the short version of the results. "Came up with nothing. It's not a corporation or syndicate or organized affiliation, not an operation code name or law enforcement subgroup. Nothing military that I'm capable of accessing." But they are both clear about the access level that a regular police officer has to that sort of information.
