A few days later, Layton gets word of this, and Layton questions Oz with Roche. Oz tells Layton that he doesn't sell Kronole and doesn't know who does, he only exchanged the Kronole that they had confiscated from the Third previously. Despite this, Layton is still weary of him, but accepts his excuse.[2] It is later revealed that he is in league with Terence, who is a Kronole dealer.[1]

Chasing the killer

Despite the revelation of his illegal activities, Oz is not suspended much to Bess Till's frustration. The two, who are partners, are forced to work together to chase down Erik, Snowpiercer's serial killer.[3]
