<h2> Public restroom about 2 km away from home</h2>
 The body of Yuki Adachi, 11, was found in a mountain forest in Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, in the &#8220;Kyoto Elementary School 6 Incident. The suspect, Yuki Adachi, 37, was arrested on suspicion of abandoning the body,
 &#8220;There is no doubt in my mind that I did it.
 He has admitted to the charges. During a voluntary investigation prior to his arrest, Adachi admitted that he &#8220;strangled the victim to death,
 &#8220;I strangled him to death.
 On April 17, it was learned that Adachi had stated in a voluntary investigation prior to his arrest that he &#8220;strangled the victim to death.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 A close examination by the prefectural police revealed suspicions that Adachi had moved Yuki&#8217;s body to several locations in the city between March 23, when Yuki went missing, and April 13, when his body was found. One of these footsteps included a public restroom in the parking lot of Rurikei.
 The location of the public restroom where the scene was verified on April 18 is about 2 km northwest of the Adachi suspect&#8217;s home, in a different direction from the mountain forest about 7 km northeast of the home where the body was found on April 13, and the prefectural police are investigating in detail how the suspect had the purpose of disturbing the investigation or moving the body from one hiding place to another.
 This on-site inspection has come as a great shock to the news media, who have been covering the area since the incident first occurred.
 The parking lot of Rurikei is one of the few public facilities close to the suspect&#8217;s house, and many reporters and cameramen who had been on stakeout in front of the house during the past week used this public restroom on a daily basis to take a break and prepare themselves.
 The fact that the body may have been placed, albeit temporarily, right under the nose of their reporting base has caused some reporters on the scene to express surprise and confusion at the course of the horrific incident and the fact that they continued to cover it right under the &#8220;shadow&#8221; of it.
 A reporter from a local newspaper told this site
 A reporter from a local newspaper told this website, &#8220;Day after day, night after night, many reporters from TV stations, newspapers, and magazines were standing by in front of Yuki&#8217;s parents&#8217; house with tripods and cameras in place, even before his arrest. Especially on the day of the arrest, there were more than 40 reporters. There were no convenience stores or supermarkets in the area, and if they needed to use the restroom, they had to go to a public restroom about 2 km away from their homes, and the companies walked or used cabs or rental cars they had arranged. Of course, I also used &#8230;&#8230;&#8221;
 And as for the structure of the restrooms.
 &#8216;It&#8217;s a peaceful place with a small stream running next to the restrooms. There was a men&#8217;s restroom in the front and a women&#8217;s restroom in the back across from the multipurpose restroom. The men&#8217;s restroom structure was not large, but small, with about two urinals and one Japanese-style toilet. It was well cleaned and the smell of ammonia from urine was not that strong, so it was recognized by many companies as a relatively clean restroom,&#8221; said a reporter from a local newspaper.

 The fact that Yuki&#8217;s body was temporarily placed in the toilet was a surprise to reporters from the social media departments of major newspapers.
 I never thought that the Adachi suspect would do such a thing in the bathroom we were using,&#8221; he said. I got the impression that many reporters were more taken back by Adachi&#8217;s brutality than by his fear.
 The suspect&#8217;s maiden name is Yamamoto. He was born and raised in Kyoto City.

<h2> Usually gentle, but suddenly over the boiling point</h2>
 A classmate who went to elementary and junior high school with him told us,
 &#8220;He was the head of the class, or rather, the leader of the class.
 Adachi was capable of putting things together. Adachi excelled at organizing things, and was also known for his ability to &#8220;pull things together&#8221; when it came to playground plans and class decisions.
 He was the kind of person who would &#8220;make a move that would bring things together.
 In junior high school, he was the student body president.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 At junior high school, he served as student body president and was also active in the soccer club.
 I don&#8217;t think he was lacking in popularity,&#8221; a classmate recalls.
 The woman recalls, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he was unpopular. He was nicknamed &#8220;Mitsuo&#8221; by those around him, and was remembered as a &#8220;gentle&#8221; boy who engaged in normal conversation.
 However, behind that gentle face lurked an outburst of violence. One of his classmates still remembers the scene of the &#8220;desk-throwing&#8221; that occurred in the upper grades of elementary school.
 He was usually gentle, but there was a point when he suddenly went over the boiling point.
 When Adachi was strongly criticized by those around him, he once threw a desk at them in an emotional outburst, rather than retorting with words.
 He said, &#8220;Ordinary people would get angrier and angrier, but he suddenly went over the boiling point. He had a dangerous look on his face all of a sudden,&#8221; a classmate testified.
 (a fellow classmate).
 After attending a local junior high school and graduating from high school, Adachi entered the workforce and found employment at an electronics company. He was said to have led an extremely busy life, working in shifts.
 He told those around him that &#8220;it was hard to get time off.
 He also said that he did not show up for the coming-of-age ceremony or the class reunion because he was &#8220;busy with work.
 In his personal life, he married a &#8220;much older woman,&#8221; but his grandmother, with whom he lived, told him that &#8220;she was older than me, and I didn&#8217;t want her.
 She was older than me, and I didn&#8217;t want her to marry me.
 She was also said to be puzzled by the fact that she was older than her grandmother, who lived with her. A former acquaintance of hers said that the reason why she sought comfort in an older partner was because
 &#8220;Was there something in her life that was not satisfying?
 The suspect&#8217;s current appearance is a reflection of his current state.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 A former classmate of the same age said of Adachi&#8217;s current appearance, &#8220;What are you doing to me?
 What are you doing to me?
 The same classmate mentioned above expressed his strong displeasure with Adachi&#8217;s current appearance, saying, &#8220;What is he doing to me? Why did he become a suspect in this horrific incident? Confusion and anger are spreading among the classmates.
