Headscratchers / Yakuza 6

• What even IS the Shangri La Hangman?
• Where is The Florist in this game? Why wasn’t there an explanation for his absence here?
  • The commonly accepted answer as to why The Florist was written out of the series is both that he's too easy of a solution with his vast information network and thus makes it a lot harder to write a mystery, as well as the fact that the writers had basically already done everything you can do with the character within the first 2 games and he was just being kept around by that point.
