why does hijikata suffer when he's only trying to do his job!!

yes to jail + bribery!! ultimately itsuki's not any more a true leithian than he is loyal to the Company, but he's primarily motivated by joy and doesn't mind making shady connections, so i figure that he'd definitely be a suspect?? in that he's suspicious and totally earns an info-docket

all of his drug dealing is done under a pseudonym so i figure that the info-docket could just point out that Itsuki's talked to and cooperated with True Leithian thugs (though he immediately ratted them out to kara and jack though that part's not that well known)?? and that could lead into an interrogation. I know that Sui Feng's going to interrogate him, but Hijikata could always hit him up where he works and speak to him as well.

I FIGURE TOO that as more events go by and depending on what itsuki does, Hijikata's info-docket on him could grow more extensive too!! and depending on how things pan out he could easily get Itsuki to do things for him in return for not like... throwing him in jail forever lmfao
