[Ah. A tourist. And likely someone looking to cause trouble, if he's asking for oddities related to that incident. And after everything in the last year, Fukuzawa really didn't need more trouble.
But Fukuzawa didn't rebuke him immediately. In the past when he had done that, it had caused more problems for the Agency. Stubborn people had a habit of coming back over and over again until they got what they wanted or they were finally got beat up to the point where they couldn't try again. So Fukuzawa sat back in his chair for a moment, thinking of how to handle this situation.]
'Whale-shaped' is certainly a way to describe it.
[His tone is what denies that rumor, not those exact words.]
But as you said, it's all been taken care of, and that case is closed.
[He's curious to see if this man will pry further.]
