<h2> Sudden start in a black Corolla</h2>
<p> The body of Yuki Adachi, 11, a sixth grader, was dumped in the mountains of Sonobe-cho, Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture. Three days after the body was found, the suspect, Yuki&#8217;s foster father Yuki Adachi, 37, a company employee, was arrested on suspicion of abandoning the body.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> After Yuki&#8217;s disappearance on March 23, her backpack was found on March 29, and her shoes on April 12. Then, on the 13th, Yuki&#8217;s body was found in the mountains about 2 km away from the elementary school. There were no noticeable external injuries, and there were no signs of being buried or hidden.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On April 16, Kyoto police arrested Yuki on suspicion of abandoning the body. He is said to have admitted to the charge and said that he strangled her to death.</span></p>
<p> Yuuki, the suspect who took his beloved son in his hands. We have obtained testimonies and video footage that reflect the character of the suspect. An employee of a store that owns a vending machine, which the suspect used frequently, said, &#8220;Every morning, Yugi would go to the vending machine at 7:00 a.m. to buy food and drink.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The suspect was buying drinks from the vending machine every morning around 7:50 a.m. on his way from his home to work. He drove a black Corolla. Whenever he bought a drink, he would leave the parking lot with a sharp start. There was gravel underneath the car, so pebbles would fly around him when he sped off. I thought to myself, &#8216;If I see him again, I&#8217;ll give him a word of warning,&#8217; because he might damage other customers&#8217; cars. Just then, I was arrested as a suspect in the incident. I was really surprised. &#8230;&#8230;&#8221;</span></p>

<h2> New developments in the police investigation.</h2>
<p> FRIDAY Digital checked the security camera footage obtained by FRIDAY Digital and found that the suspect was seen coming to the parking lot. The suspect stopped his car at an angle in front of a vending machine and purchased a drink. He then sped up rapidly, changed direction, and left the parking lot.</p>
<p> This was not the only behavior of the suspect recorded by the security camera.</p>
<p> The photo above shows Yuki distributing leaflets asking for information in Nantan City on March 31, eight days after Yuki went missing. If Yuki&#8217;s statement that he strangled Yūki to death is true, then the distribution of the leaflets could be seen as a &#8220;cover-up. What was the suspect thinking when he handed out the flyers?</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> As of April 18, two days after his arrest, the police investigation was still ongoing.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On the morning of April 18, the Kyoto Prefectural Police began forensic work in a public restroom near Yuki&#8217;s home. It is believed that the suspect may have temporarily abandoned Yuki in this toilet. The prefectural police are continuing their investigation because they believe that Yūki-kun&#8217;s body was dumped in another location on multiple occasions in addition to the location where his body was found. This public restroom is one of them.</span></p>
<p> The whole picture of this mysterious case, which has attracted the attention of all of Japan, is gradually coming to light.</p>
