"How did we meet?"

"A very random opportunity.

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

I was very happy and started chatting with her.

Then, she invited me to her home and we got to know each other in depth.

She's 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 because I didn't expect that she was dead."

Jackson smiled and said, "Prostitution is just prostitution, why do you need 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 didn’t give it, I took the initiative to give it, but she didn’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 the story.

This moved me very much, not because of money...

Rather, it's a wonderful feeling.

I even thought about pursuing her...

It’s a pity that we no longer have the chance.”

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

"Ask her to be my girlfriend."

"You don't mind her identity?"

"Why should you mind? The past has passed. What I care about is the future.

Moreover, I don't care about the outside world's opinions.

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

When did she die? Can I go see her?"

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

This way we can catch her murderer as soon as possible."

"No problem, I do."

"Have you known each other before?"

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

"Tell me the exact time you met."

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

She was standing at the door to see me off. It felt great, just like a wife seeing her husband off to work...

I once longed for such a life."

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

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Since you long for this kind of life, why don't you have a girlfriend?"

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

I went to school in another state, and at that time I still had many friends in Japanese circles.

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

I've struck up a conversation with white girls, but they were prejudiced against Asians, so I didn't stand a chance.

Black girls too."

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

“Do you think we are close to each other because we are both Asians?

One time I went to Koreatown to pick up girls, and I was almost beaten to death by several Korean guys." Ryosuke Yoshida showed a helpless look, "I don't want to find a street girl, but I have been shooting for two years, you know that kind of thing

Feel it?

If I don’t find a woman again, I will go crazy.”

Jackson curled his lips, "This goes without saying."

"I want to say that it will feel more comfortable to say it."

Jackson "..."

Luke brought the topic back, "When you were in contact with Hashimoto Yoshimi, did you see anyone suspicious around you?"

"No."

"Did you drive there?"

"right."

"Where is your car?"

“It’s in the parking lot nearby.”

"Take us to see it."

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

The three of them walked to the parking lot. Ryosuke Yoshida stopped and seemed to realize, "Are you going to search my car?"

Jackson said, "It's not really a search, it's just to see if there are any clues found in the car."

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

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

"Can I refuse to search the car?"

"Of course, that's your right.

However, if you have never done so, I think it is best to assist the police in the investigation and 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."

"Maybe you are right, there is no need to make things too complicated, just search." Ryosuke Yoshida took out the car keys and unlocked the door.

Luke asked, "Do you have a weapon?"

"No."

Luke and Jackson walk toward the car with its lights flashing.

After opening the car door, Luke and Jackson searched separately. At the same time, Luke kept an eye on Ryosuke Yoshida's movements.

The car was a bit messy, with a lot of comic books on it, most of them were royal comics, and there were also a few pornographic comics.

No prohibited items were found in the car.

Jackson began to check the driving recorder video to corroborate Ryosuke Yoshida's confession. If the time, place and departure time match up, it means that the other party's confession has a certain degree of credibility.
