[From what Meisheng remembers, Jintou is much too experienced to let two children force him into doing anything.

... Well. Unless he was feeling guilty over shooting one of them.]

You don't know who went after him and Shudder. Maybe they knew what you tried to do. Maybe they didn't. It doesn't matter. They're the ones at fault. If you're going to assign blame in that fashion, then don't forget to blame Shudder as well. Shudder, Aqua, Pleasant, Jintou himself, and we can't forget every investigator in the city. Every one of them could have done something differently.
