Looking for an investigation story + girl

[Otohiko]

Simple idea here, I'm damn sure there is an anime that can fit this but can't quite put my finger on it...

Scenario: there is a (male) detective/investigator/news reporter who is working on some kind of gruesome murder/suicide/accident(s). The catch is that this dude has to have a daughter/family member/friend whom he cares about wants to keep protected and not exposed to the gruesome nature of his work.

Anything come to mind?
Would appreciate anything that sounds kind of similar or could be bent in that direction!

Hmm, ya might be able to use some scenes from karas maybe. Been a while since i watched it.

Makes me think of Speed Grapher. The main dude is in deep with the disturbing sh*t and the schoolgirl is in the middle of it, but he still wants to keep her safe... kinda thing...

maybe the anime Skull Man, freelance photographer hears rumors of murders and is followed by an inspiring photographer that is female.

I x3 Speed Grapher. Though not not a father/daughter thing, Saiga and the girl (forgot her name) have the sort of protector relationship you're looking for.

To offer up another suggestion, maybe you could bend Paranoia Agent to your concept.

Togusa from Ghost in th shell is basically exactly that. I think Solid state society deals with angle alot, but I can't completely recall.
