He is only given the task of stopping the killers from killing so that his partner can have a talk with them and he was already kicked out as a normal detective but a scrappy detective like himself is perfect for a job where he can put a stop on an event while it is unfoldingI just realized a kind of plothole of the whole setting. Why doesn't he just kills the serial killer? In the previous two cases there were physical limitations like being a kid or literally trapped, but now he has all freedom to do what's necessary and avoid more victims.
I don't believe we actually have a clear condition of why he won't kill other than the batman type of "He will always use justice and never kill". All of these situations are clearly taxing on his mental, and he already has suspicion on the guy with the power, so I guess we will actually have some breaking point in the future, but for now there is not even a condition set for the time travel that avoids him taking harsher actions.
Specifically in this situation where he found out the teacher is also a creep, it wouldn't even be too bad to put him in jail. The detective is already violent in his approach, so he could even try to rough the killer up or something IDK, it just seems that he is playing by the rules, rules that are not set and only seem convenient for the story.
He needs to clear the cases and prevent deaths in exchange for the chance to solve the mystery of his family's horrific murder.I just realized a kind of plothole of the whole setting.

Well, we are still sort of unclear what conditions have to be in order to return to the present properly. We don't know if whomever he possesses otherwise has to live or be relatively better off afterward. Also, there could be more catastrophic effects changing time more drastically than historically true.I just realized a kind of plothole of the whole setting.
