The police chief who loves poisonous fir tree

It is a rule in this country that ``you must not fish with poison.'' Rules are to be followed and those who break them will be arrested. It is the police's role to find and arrest the culprit.
However, who is the culprit?
――You will be struck by the essence of human nature, which cannot be divided into good and bad. This is a unique masterpiece that uses humor to portray the "poison" that lurks in everyone's heart!
You can experience the depths of Kenji's fairy tales, which are not easy to understand.
