We theoretically analyze the reaction for the bound-state search in the J-PARC E15 experiment. We find that, by detecting a fast and forward neutron in the final state, an almost on-shell is guaranteed, which is essential to make a bound state with two nucleons from . Then, this almost on-shell can bring a signal of the bound state in the invariant-mass spectrum, although it inevitably brings a kinematic peak above the threshold as well. As a consequence, we predict two peaks across the threshold in the spectrum: the lower peak coming from the bound state, and the higher one originating from the kinematics.
