Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 374 Yoshida Ryosuke

   Robbery and Murder Division 1 Squadron.

   Luke's office.

  At nine o'clock in the morning, Luke sat at his desk to check the information.

  Yesterday afternoon, he finished taking notes for Melanie Hickman, and then talked to other employees of the company, wanting to learn more about Yoshihide Hashimoto.

  At this time, Luke is comparing the transcripts of several people, and has a deeper understanding of Hashimoto Yoshime.

   First of all, Hashimoto Yoshimi is a very ambitious person, a typical strong woman, and she is strict with her employees, and her colleagues don’t know much about her private life.

  Actually, this situation is also a normal phenomenon. Being a street girl is not a glorious thing, and Yoshimi Hashimoto will definitely not let her colleagues in the company know.

   If you really want to know, she won't be in this company for long.

   After comparing the transcripts, Luke walked out of the office, pushed the whiteboard to the front of the office area, and greeted, "Guys, it's a meeting."

  Luke drew a tree diagram on the whiteboard, the top is the name of the deceased Yoshimi Hashimoto, and there are four branches below, namely the apartment where the crime occurred, the company, Yoshimi Hashimoto’s home, relatives and friends.

  Luke drew another branch under the apartment where the crime occurred, and asked, "How is the surveillance investigation around the apartment going?"

  Jenny said, "The area around the apartment where the deceased lived was rather chaotic, and there were almost no cameras in that area, and even if there were, they were smashed.

  According to the testimony of the neighbor of the apartment, Kevin Rodman, the deceased often solicited customers on Ronnie Street in front of the apartment.

   There are surveillance cameras at the intersection of Ronnie Avenue, and we were monitoring Luke and photographed the red Ferrari driven by the deceased.

  At the same time, the vehicles passing by before and after the incident are also recorded, and further screening is needed. "

  Los Angeles has a large area and a small population density. It is difficult to move without a car. Transportation is a good direction for investigation.

   Luke looked at the deputy team and asked, "Is there any progress on your side?"

  Deputy team said, "We went to Hashimoto Yoshimi's house to investigate, the house was cleaned very clean, there were few furniture and living items, only some necessary things.

  Hashimoto Yoshimi’s family could not see any problems, there were no clues related to the street girl, and no man’s belongings were found.

   It is in line with the residential style of a company executive. "

  Xiao Hei said, "I checked her mobile phone communication records, most of them were calls with colleagues, and she didn't have many contacts with her parents.

   In addition, I have notified her parents to come to identify the body, but her parents are still in Tokyo, so it may take a few more days. "

  After listening to everyone's reports, Luke said, "Jackson and I went to investigate at Yoshimi Hashimoto's company. Yoshimi Hashimoto is indeed an executive of an architectural design company with an annual salary of about 1.4 million U.S. dollars. She is not short of money and has no financial problems.

   I learned from her colleagues that she doesn't have a boyfriend and spends most of her time at work. She is a standard strong woman. "

  Jenny said, "I have seen many street girls, everyone has their own difficulties, but in the final analysis it is all because of 'money'.

  Yoshimi Hashimoto is not short of money, why should she be a street girl? "

  Xiao Hei stroked his chin and thoughtfully said, "In this world, money can solve many problems, but it is not omnipotent.

   There is a disease called 'addiction', and it will be very painful if it is not satisfied. (anti-harmonic)

  Is Hashimoto Yoshimi a surname addict? Because she is busy with work and has no time to make boyfriends, but she can't control her surname desire, so she becomes a street girl. "

  Luke thought about it, and with Hashimoto Yoshimi’s situation, there is a certain possibility, “Marcus, go check Hashimoto Yoshimi’s medical records and see if she has similar medical records.

  Also, check to see if her assistant, Melanie Hickman, is mentally ill. "

  Jackson said, "Assuming that Hashimoto Yoshime was not a street girl for profit reasons, why was she killed?

   What is the motive of the murderer? "

  The deputy team yawned and said, "The targets of most perverted killers are basically women and children, because these people are easy to attack.

   And it's not easy to kill a grown man quietly. Killers are bad, but not stupid.

  No matter what era or country, prostitutes are the bottom of the society. They live in no fixed place, have complex social relations, and live in the dark side of society. They are easy to come into contact with some bad people.

  Prostitutes are mostly solitary, even if they are killed, no one will know.

  Moreover, the relationship between prostitutes is complicated, which will bring great difficulties to the detection work.

  The combination of these comprehensive factors made them the best prey in the minds of perverted killers. "

   "In other words, what we are facing is likely to be a perverted killer." Xiao Hei seemed to remember something, "By the way, the victim left a letter 'H' on his body, which is also one of the characteristics of a serial killer.

  What does the 'H' letter represent?

   is a person's name? Or is there another meaning? "

  The deputy team shrugged, "There are too few clues to be sure."

   "Boom..."

  There was a knock on the door.

  Technical Mary pushed open the door, "Are you in a meeting?"

   "That's right, you came just in time." Luke waved his hand, motioning for Mary to sit down, "Do you have any new clues?"

  Marie said, "There are too many hairs in that house, except for Yoshime Hashimoto himself, which are all male hair.

   We simply don't have the budget to have all the hairs identified.

   So, for the time being, we will only be identifying the genetic material found in the house. Mary said, taking out a document, "We found the genetic material of 3 people in the house.

  We compared the 3 genetic materials with the DNA database and found out the identity of one of the suspects. "

  Name, Ryosuke Yoshida

  Ethnicity, Japanese American

  Age, 25 years old

  Mobile phone number, 6268762473

  Address, No. 209, Kayit Community

   Social Security Number, 623-53-3872

  Prior criminal record, crime of attempting to injure, whoring

  Luke looked at this information, the victim Hashimoto Yoshimi is of Japanese descent, and he is also of Japanese descent. Is there any other connection between the two?

  …

  America is the second largest comic book market in the world.

   There are many wonderful original comics, such as Marvel, DC, The Smurfs, The Walking Dead, etc.

  In addition to the excellent manga from the country, it also imported many Japanese manga.

   For example, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Hokage, Bleach, One Punch Man, Fullmetal Alchemist and other excellent comics.

  Although the Internet is now well developed and the potential for online comics is huge, paper comics are still king.

Many manga lovers still like the atmosphere in manga stores. Yoshida Ryosuke is a veteran manga lover. Whenever he has time in Tokyo, he will spend time in the manga store to pick out a manga he likes, buy a cup of coffee, and read manga at the same time. , While drinking coffee, eat a tuna sandwich or sushi when hungry, he can stay in the comic shop all day.

  Since arriving in Los Angeles, many of his habits have changed, but his hobby of liking comics has not changed. In his opinion, if a person has no hobbies, he is no different from a dead person.

  At this time, Yoshida Ryosuke was sitting in a remote corner of the comic shop. The place was relatively quiet. There was a cup of coffee on the table and two comics, one was Detective Conan and the other was Hunter x Hunter.

   These two books belong to two wonderful flowers in the entire Japanese manga world.

  He was still holding a comic book in his hand, reading it with relish, and the title of the book was written on the cover, "The Teacher Is So Fierce".

  Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away, "Yoshida-san."

   "Hey." Yoshida Ryosuke responded instinctively, turned his head and looked around, and saw two strange men walking towards him.

   "You guys are calling me?

   I don't seem to know you guys. "

  Luke glanced at the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Is this the type you like?"

  Yoshida Ryosuke pressed the book in his hand under the other two books, "Just take a look."

  Jackson flashed his police badge, "I am Detective Jackson from the Robbery and Murder Division, and this is Captain Li.

  We are investigating a criminal case and would like to ask you for some information. "

   "Criminal case? You are not mistaken, how could I be related to a criminal case."

  Jackson took out a photo of Hashimoto Yoshimi, "Do you know her?"

   Yoshida Ryosuke hesitated for a moment, "What happened to her?"

"died."

  Yoshida Ryosuke showed a look of astonishment, "Dead!

When did this happen? Are you kidding me? "

   Luke said, "Now we are asking you, do you know her?

   Don't lie, in our opinion only murderers can lie. "

   "Yes, I know her."

   "How did you meet?"

   "A very random chance.

  The night before yesterday, I was not in a good mood, so I drove out for a drive, and saw an Asian woman standing on the side of the road to stop the car, so I stopped to strike up a conversation, and found out that she was Japanese.

  I was very happy and chatted with her.

   Then she invited me over to her house and we got to know each other a little bit better.

   She is a wonderful woman.

  Last night, I went to the old place to look for her, but I didn't see her. I was very disappointed, I didn't expect her to die. "

  Jackson laughed, "Whoring is just whoring, why bother to say it so fresh and refined."

   "No, it's not what you think.

  I admit, I had this idea at first...

   But then...she confiscated my money.

   It’s not that I don’t give it, I offered it, but she doesn’t want it.

  She said she liked me very much and had a pleasant chat with me, but if she took money, it would change.

   This moved me, not because of the money...

   Rather, that kind of wonderful feeling.

   I even thought about courting her...

   Unfortunately, there is no chance. "

  Jackson asked, "What do you mean by pursuit?"

   "Ask her to be my girlfriend."

   "You don't mind her identity?"

  "Why do you care, the previous things have passed, what I care about is the future.

   Moreover, I don't care about the eyes of the outside world.

  She is my ideal other half, that's enough. Yoshida Ryosuke sighed and said sadly, "I really like her."

   When did she die? can i go and see her "

   Thinking that no one has yet identified the body, Luke agreed, "You can go and see her, but before that, you have to cooperate with the police investigation.

  So we can catch her killer as soon as possible. "

   "No problem, I do."

   "Have you known each other before?"

   "I don't know each other. We met for the first time the night before yesterday. It can also be said that it was love at first sight."

   "Tell me the exact time you will meet."

   "It seemed to be around twelve o'clock, I saw her on the side of the road, and then she took me back to the apartment, and I left around one o'clock.

   She was standing at the door seeing me off, it was a great feeling, like a wife sending her husband to work...

  I once dreamed of living such a life. "

  Luke wrote down the time in his notebook. If Yoshida Ryosuke did not lie, it means that Hashimoto Yoshimi was still alive around one o'clock in the morning, and the time of her murder can be accurate to between one o'clock and two o'clock in the morning.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

   "Since you are looking forward to this kind of life, why don't you have a girlfriend?"

   "I want to too, but it's not that easy.

  I went to school in other states before, and I had many friends in the Japanese circle.

  After graduating from college, I came to Los Angeles, and everything was strange...

  I've approached white girls, but they're biased against Asians, and I don't stand a chance.

   The same goes for brunettes. "

  Jackson said, "There are many Asian groups in Los Angeles, why not go there and try."

   “Do you think being of Asian descent means being close?

   Once I went to Koreatown to strike up a girl, and was almost beaten to death by a few Korean sticks. "Yoshida Ryosuke showed a helpless look, "I don't want to find street girls, but I have been shooting pistols for two years, do you understand that feeling?"

   If I don't find another woman, I will go crazy. "

  Jackson pouted, "It goes without saying."

   "I want to say, it will be more comfortable to say it."

   Jackson "…"

  Luke brought the topic back, "Did you see any suspicious people around when you were in contact with Hashimoto Yoshime?"

"No."

   "Did you go there by car?"

"right."

   "Where is your car?"

   "There is a nearby parking lot."

   "Take us to see."

   "OK." Yoshida Ryosuke took the comics and followed Luke out of the comic shop.

  The three of them walked to the parking lot. Ryosuke Yoshida stopped, as if he had come to his senses, "Are you going to search my car?"

  Jackson said, "It's not a search, just to see if we can find some clues in the car."

   "So, you suspect that I killed Hashimoto Yoshimi?"

   Luke said, "No, we want to prove your innocence."

   "Can I refuse your car search?"

   "Of course, this is your right.

  However, if you haven't done it, I think it's better to assist the police investigation, there is no need to make things too complicated. "

   "What if I say no?"

   "We will arrest you for soliciting prostitution and apply for a search warrant."

   "Perhaps you are right, there is no need to make things too complicated, you can search." Yoshida Ryosuke took out the car key and unlocked it.

   Luke asked, "Do you have a weapon?"

"No."

  Luke and Jackson walk to the car with flashing lights.

  Opening the car door, Luke and Jackson searched separately. At the same time, Luke has been paying attention to Yoshida Ryosuke.

  The car is a bit messy, and there are many comic books, most of which are kingly comics, and there are also a few colored comics.

  No prohibited items were found in the car.

  Jackson began to check the video of the driving recorder, and should prove Ryosuke Yoshida's statement. If the time, place, and time of departure can be matched, it means that the other party's statement has a certain degree of credibility.

   Watching and watching, Jackson discovered some new clues...
