[The detective doesn't answer and instead heads back into the office, propping the door open this time as he pulls a chair up to the other side of the desk for Kokichi. A nice, comfy padded chair, even! Shuichi's uncle sees a lot of clients in here, after all. Sometimes the cases require that extra bit of privacy that just can't be achieved in the main office. The chair on the other side of the desk is high-backed and also very comfortable looking, even moreso actually since it's clearly his uncle's chair. And he sits in it longer than any client who comes in here. It's also on wheels.]
[As soon as Kokichi enters, he'll probably see why Shuichi didn't want to move out into the main office. There were, indeed, a lot of files inside the box, just as he said. But now they are all OUTSIDE of the box (which stands empty on the other chair now); spread across the desk or the floor, grouped and singular, open and closed...apparently there's some kind of organizational matrix going on here, but it's impossible to tell what it is just by looking.]
