How does the police officer react when Nakata admits to Johnny Walker's murder?

• A. He arrests him
• B. He does not believe him
• C. He ignores him
• D. He questions him calmly

Answer: (B)

The moment tests how credible a confession is when it comes from someone with Nakata’s unusual view of the world and limited understanding. When Nakata says he killed Johnny Walker, the police officer doesn’t take it as a factual confession that can be acted on. He’s skeptical, because Nakata can’t provide details, memory, or evidence, and the claim seems implausible given what he knows. Without corroborating information, the officer doesn’t arrest him. This reaction shows how belief, credibility, and the need for evidence shape how a crime report is treated in the story, highlighting the gap between what Nakata believes happened and what the police can accept as fact.
