Finished this week, slightly delayed. Read chapter 13 a week ago and just finished chapter 14. Most of my reading time was taken up by the Aozora challenge, and work was pretty abysmal this week.
I didn’t write enough notes, so my comments are pretty short this week :frowning: .

The theft of the smartphone was pretty nerve wrecking. How unlucky can you be to get a call right when you finished snatching the phone. I think it would have been better if the first snatching succeeded. I’m not sure the theft on the escalator lets him think he just lost his phone. Being a little drunk surely would have helped to sell it.

The theft of the hairs went by really smoothly. And that was some real quick thinking of using his own lighter instead of snatching the one from the target. I mean overall the 指紋 are the important part. Not the lighter itself.

Will continue with next week now to be up to date again :smiley:
