It's always been easier for Ishimaru to process things like this from a distance, rather than when he's seeing it happen; at a reasonable distance, everything becomes facts in a particularly convoluted logic problem - a bit difficult to sort, maybe, but ones things start falling into place then it's not hard to see where all the other facts slot in. He lets her speak without trying to interject, but he's definitely processing everything she's telling him and he can't be sure what he thinks of it; he doesn't blame her for not giving him all of the details because it's entirely possible that she doesn't know, but there are things that are going to bother him. Like exactly who this little girl is - he doesn't think that punching Alice is acceptable, he'd said that from the start and he fully stands by that statement, but there's a difference in motivation if this is, for example, the man's daughter instead of just a random child.
And then she finishes and...well. That last statement likewise changes things, though not for the better.]
"Other cops"...? So this was a policeman, who did this?
