捜
Mnemonic
A hand grabs a monk by the collar. "We must search this temple once more!" the detective insists. The monk groans—they've already searched everywhere. But the hand won't let go, and once more drawers are opened and floors pried up until the truth is found.
Additional thoughts
Picture a detective's hand physically yanking a reluctant monk back through temple halls for yet another thorough search. The monk's exhaustion emphasizes the relentless, systematic nature of the investigation.Quick recall
