Description
John Grizzly is a former instructor at the prestigious detective training academy known as BLUE, where he specifically held the position of the closed circle instructor. This role denotes him as an expert in handling cases with a limited number of suspects, often referred to as locked-room mysteries or closed-circle situations. His knowledge and skills are described as coming from extensive experience gained through field work.
Physically, Grizzly is depicted with gray, combed-back hair, bushy eyebrows, and green eyes, all of which contribute to his stern and serious appearance. This stern look matches his personality and professional demeanor as a strict instructor.
In the story, Grizzly appears during an investigation at the Nandan Observatory on Nandan Island, where he has been invited as a bodyguard for a meteor shower viewing party. This event is meant to prevent a repeat of a tragic, unsolved mass shooting that had occurred at the same location ten years prior. His presence at the observatory highlights his esteemed reputation and the trust placed in his abilities.
A key aspect of his character is his history with the protagonist, Ron Kamonohashi. Ron acknowledges Grizzly as one of the few instructors whom he respected as his senior during his time at BLUE. Their reunion at the observatory is marked by surprise on both sides. Grizzly is also knowledgeable about a dark chapter in Ron's past, referring to an event known as the Bloody Training incident from five years earlier. In that incident, Ron was found at the scene of seven dead killers with a bloodied knife and no memory of the events, leading to his expulsion from the academy. Grizzly mentions this incident, demonstrating his awareness of Ron's controversial history and the suspicion that still surrounds the young detective.
When a murder occurs at the observatory, Grizzly takes charge of the investigation, immediately announcing everyone as suspects and declaring Ron as the primary culprit based on circumstantial evidence. This reaction shows a pragmatic, evidence-focused approach to detective work, but also a willingness to believe the worst about Ron.
Tragically, John Grizzly becomes a victim himself during the course of this case. He is found shot on the roof of the observatory, having fallen to the ground. His clothing shows no signs of a struggle, leading to the conclusion that he was shot either from a distance or very suddenly. At the time of his death, he was found holding fishing line in his right hand, a clue that becomes important to the investigation. His death demonstrates that the culprit is exceptionally formidable, as Grizzly was a highly skilled and experienced closed circle instructor.
His primary motivation throughout his appearance is to maintain order, investigate the crime, and ensure justice is served, consistent with his role as a veteran detective and teacher. His key relationship is with Ron, defined by a complex mix of past respect and present suspicion.
