The murder in the Empty Lot appeared amateur... to such a perfect extent the police focused, entirely on you. That takes a professional. For Lao Gui, it would be simple. [...] If an assassin of his caliber is working for the Dojima Family... it’s almost certain he’s the one behind the killing you were framed for.
