It had the all the makings of an easy case. A set of jewels that were stolen from a wealthy family with witnesses reporting a ragged man running off into the night. This made Di immediately wary. Kirigakure was a place where the law was enforced with brutal efficiency – thievery was not done lightly and any normal citizen would know that it was never worth the price. Interviewing the eye witnesses Di's suspicions had grown as he matched up their accounts with the scene of the crime. For one thing it had been raining recently and the grounds of the manner were very muddy meaning that tracks would almost surely be left in the mud of the robber. There were none however and from the description the man was no ninja.
Secondly damning was the fact that the witnesses each described the man with slightly different features. One statement asserted that the man was bald and hairless while another said he had long hair and a scruffy beard. While not totally certain Di now suspected that the fleeing figure was actually a genjutsu used to throw off the trail of any pursuers. That would mean that whomever had taken the gem had not actually fled the manor but was still somewhere on the premises. This could get interesting depending how how things played out.
Explaining to the guardsman who was handling the case that he would need to make a defensive permiter around the mansion to stop any potential exit from a fleeing felon Di decided to go and speak to the family about anyone who might wish them ill while he waited for his contact to arrive. Kirigakure trusted Di to a large extent but he was still a private contractor and thus the great power wished to have someone who would stay by him to record his methods and report them back to the Mizukage. Since this person was inevitably a ninja they would also likely take a hands on approach to the case as well.
That was fine. Di was more than happy to have someone help him with the legwork here. Drilling the family for information Di managed to get some much needed breakthroughs from the wifes testimony. Several years back the family had owned a factory that was used for producing kites for ninja to fly on. However due to cutting costs several of these broke and led to the death of multiple shinobi whilst in the middle of missions. The foreman was blamed for it and stripped of his job leading the man with a deep seated hatred for the noble family. With that information Di was beginning to form a deeper understanding of exactly what was going on here. Di hoped that his contact would arrive soon as the wind was picking up outside.
When the gusts got strong enough Di suspected that someone would be launching themselves from the roof off onto the breeze strapped on to their very own ninja kite. '
