Yeaaaaah, I really didn't want it to be the case, but the way it's looking there's no way he isn't involved. Just makes the situation that much worse.
I think... we have to play along, right now. Shinoko would know we know, unless she's in a much worse mental state that we think she is, and while we have a bunch of circumstantial stuff that links Erland to the case, I don't think there's any smoking gun we can use to get answers out of him. We definitely have to chase Shinoko down, though.
Then again, the Foundation has a lot more room in how it operates compared to SpecInv, you might be able to question Erland about the time he spent helping Ancient Fairy and find leads there. He and I... don't get along, and if I tried to move something along those lines it'd be a dead giveaway to what we're up to.
There's also another lead I'm working on, which is that Judgeman - part of the 12 Dimension's court system - holds a serious grudge against Dark Mist. There's some 12 Dimensions case files about the initial sentencing of the Numbers that might have more info on Dark Mist, but they're all sealed and Judgeman's the only one who can open the records. So I may have to get on his good side to get us some crucial info.
