Connected reporting

Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.

Same reported case

ロマンス詐欺で422万円被害/黒石署発表

Both describe a man in his forties and the same Kuroishi police romance-fraud loss; the longer version adds the investment transfers. Direct relationship only; not independent corroboration or a transitive case merge.
