Last night he had someone investigate Benjamin Barker's background. The mother is an executive at the family company, and the father seems to be the district chief of a certain area in the capital city. In the eyes of ordinary commoners, such a family is considered quite nice.
But similarly, such a family, in his view, seems somewhat unremarkable.
However, to address this, he initially wanted to handle it himself. But firstly, he feared he might be too heavy-handed, and secondly, he worried that Alice Smith might feel estranged upon knowing. So he decided to hand it over to Joshua Sulliven, after all, such matters were a breeze for him. If it turns out Alice Smith truly feels something, he can always shift the blame onto Joshua Sulliven.
While driving, he originally intended to return home, but somehow ended up driving to Alice Smith's flower shop.
