He is, yeah. His dad was manipulating him to do his dirty work. And if he didn't comply, he would've been killed off too. The dude was a high ranking political party member. He used everyone's fear and promised us a new age of a better country, or some shit like that. People ate it up, voted him in as prime minister. But in the background, he was using Akechi to get rid of the people in his way.
[He starts to feel uncomfortable talking so much about Akechi, knowing full well that when this information hits him that it's going to cause problems in more than one way.]
It kinda worked out. He was a detective solving his own cases, so he just kept getting more popular. And we got all the heat for Okumura's death.
