The First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke's office.

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

Yesterday afternoon, he finished writing notes for Melanie Hickman and talked to other employees of the company, wanting to know more about Yoshimi Hashimoto.

At this time, Luke was comparing the transcripts of several people and had a deeper understanding of Hashimoto Yoshimi.

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

In fact, 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 she really knew it, she wouldn't be able to stay in this company for long.

After comparing the contents of the transcript, Luke left the office, pushed the whiteboard to the front of the office area, and greeted, "Guys, the meeting is about to begin."

Luke drew a tree diagram on the whiteboard, with the name of the deceased Yoshimi Hashimoto at the top, and four branches below, namely the apartment where the crime occurred, the company, Yoshimi Hashimoto's home, and 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 was located was quite chaotic, there were almost no cameras in that area, and even those that were there were smashed.

According to the confession of Kevin Rodman, a neighbor of the apartment, the deceased often solicited customers on Ronny Street in front of the apartment.

There are surveillance cameras at the intersection of Ronny Street, and while we were monitoring Luke, we also photographed the red Ferrari driven by the deceased.

At the same time, we also note down the vehicles passing by before and after the crime, and further screening is needed.”

Los Angeles is a large area with low population density. It is difficult to move around 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?"

The deputy team member said, "We went to Hashimoto Yoshimi's house to investigate. The house was very clean, with very few furniture and daily items, only some necessary things.

There was nothing wrong with Hashimoto Yoshimi's house. There were no clues related to the street girl, and no belongings belonging to the man were found.

It fits the style of a company executive’s residence.”

Xiaohei said, "I checked her mobile phone communication records, and most of them were call records with colleagues, and she didn't have much contact with her parents.

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

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

I learned from her colleagues that she does not have a boyfriend, spends most of her time at work, and is a standard strong woman."

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

Yoshimi Hashimoto is not short of money, so why does she want to be a street girl?"

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

There is a disease called "surname addiction". If you are not satisfied, you will be very painful. (Anti-harmony)

Could it be that Hashimoto Yoshimi is a drug addict? Because she is busy with work and has no time to have a boyfriend, but she can't control her sexual desires, so she becomes a street girl."

Luke thought for a while, and based on Hashimoto Yoshimi's situation, it was possible. "Marcus, go check Hashimoto Yoshimi's medical records and see if she has any similar medical records.

Also, check to see if her assistant Melanie Hickman has any mental problems."

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

What was the murderer’s motive?”

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

It is not easy to kill an adult man quietly. Killers are bad, but not stupid.

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

Most prostitutes live alone, and even if they are killed, no one will know.

Moreover, the complex relationship between prostitutes will bring great difficulties to the detection work.

The combination of these factors makes them the best prey for perverted killers."

"In other words, what we are facing is probably a perverted killer." Xiao Hei seemed to remember something, "By the way, the letter 'H' was left on the victim. This is also one of the characteristics of serial killers.

What does the letter ‘H’ stand for?

Is it a person’s name? Or does it have other meanings?”

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

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

Technical Mary opened the door and said, "Are you having a meeting?"

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

Mary said, "There was too much hair in that house, and except for Yoshimi Hashimoto's own hair, it was all male hair.

We simply don't have enough money to identify all the hair.

Therefore, for the time being, we are only identifying the genetic material found in the house." Mary said, taking out a piece of information, "We found a total of three people's genetic material in the house.

We compared the three pieces of genetic material with the DNA database and found the identity of one of the suspects."

Luke looked at this information. The victim Yoshimi Hashimoto was of Japanese descent, and he was also of Japanese descent. Are there any other connections between the two?

…

The United States is the second largest comics market in the world.

It has many wonderful original comics, Marvel, DC, Smurfs, The Walking Dead, etc.

In addition to excellent domestic comics, many Japanese comics have also been introduced.

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

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

Many comic lovers still like the atmosphere in comic shops. Ryosuke Yoshida is a senior comic lover. Whenever he has time in Tokyo, he will go to the comic shop to pick out a comic he likes, buy a cup of coffee, and read comics.

, while drinking coffee and eating a tuna sandwich or sushi when he is 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 comics has not changed. In his opinion, if a person does not have some hobbies, he is no different from a dead person.

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

These two books are two oddities in the entire Japanese comic industry.

He also held a comic book in his hand and read it with interest. The title "Teacher is So Fierce" was written on the cover.

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

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

"Are you calling me?

I don’t seem to recognize you.”

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

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

Jackson showed his police badge, "I'm Detective Jackson of the Robbery and Murder Division, and this is Captain Li.

We are investigating a criminal case and would like to find out some information from you."

"Criminal case? Are you 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's wrong with her?"

"died."

Ryosuke Yoshida looked shocked, "Dead!

When did it happen? Are you kidding me?"

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

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

"Yes, I know her."
