As Godzillafan stated earlier the detective in the Novel does have an important role, but it's not like he thinks Kouichi's responsible as this seems to imply. But rather he's one of the few people outside class 3-3 to notice some strange occurances, without being affected by the curse. However when the Novel goes deeper into his story, it's shown that, his concern is mostly out of worry for his own daughter, who is just a year behind Kouichi in school terms and might enroll in class 3-3. He even asks Kouichi at one point to look after her when she does get to that class in her year. I don't know why but I kinda imagine someone like Peter Falk or Harrison Ford playing the role.
