<h2> No information has been leaked by the police.</h2>
 The Kyoto Prefectural Police are carefully investigating the &#8220;Kyoto Elementary School 6 Incident&#8221; in which Yuki Adachi, 11, a student at Sonobe Elementary School in Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, was found dead.
 The suspect arrested on suspicion of abandoning Yuki&#8217;s body is his father-in-law, Yuki Adachi, 37. He has admitted to the police that he was involved in Yūki&#8217;s murder.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 On the morning of March 23, Yuki was taken to an elementary school in the suspect&#8217;s car, but was later reported missing. According to a TV station official covering the case, &#8220;At first, the local police and fire department were involved in the case.
 At first, a search was being conducted by local police and firefighters, but in parallel, investigators from the Kyoto Prefectural Police began to look into the case from a very early stage. The reason for this is that there were some unexplainable points in the behavior of the suspect&#8217;s father-in-law, Yuuki. Currently, the Kyoto Prefectural Police&#8217;s Investigation Section 1 is taking the lead.&#8221;
 The prefectural police are being very careful in their dealings with the media.
 A reporter for a local newspaper told this website,
 When asked by the media about the backpack and shoes found at a distance from the body, as well as the car seized during the search of his home, the prefectural police simply said, &#8220;We are not going to give an answer. They appeared to be investigating something at a restroom and a reservoir in the city where the suspect Yuuki was believed to have stopped, but they, too, said, &#8220;We will refrain from giving you an answer. In this type of case, the situation is often leaked privately from the police side, but this time, the police seemed to be very guarded. It seems that the police are taking the human rights and privacy of both the victim and the assailant into consideration.
 The police are not taking any action,&#8221; he said.
 Sonobe is a small town with a population of about 15,000. The town is usually tranquil, with strong ties among residents. The reporter continues, &#8220;I was worried when I was covering the case.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Many of the residents I interviewed seemed anxious about the situation. Because of the nature of the area, the prefectural police have been keeping information to the media to the extent that it does not interfere with the investigation. Some reporters have made private inquiries about the Adachi family and Yuki&#8217;s mother, but they have consistently refused to answer.&#8221;
 On April 17, Kantele (Kansai Television) revealed that it had mistakenly broadcast footage of a different person than the suspect Yuki, who was sent to prosecution, in one of its information programs. (produced by Kantele), a Fuji Television program, three times in total during the 1:00 p.m. time slot. Afterwards, the mistake was noticed within the company and the announcer said, &#8220;The person involved and the viewers are not aware of the mistake.
 The announcer then realized the mistake within the company and said, &#8220;We deeply apologize to the people involved and to our viewers. I am very sorry.
 and apologized. Kantele said
 Kantele is taking the situation very seriously. We will work to verify the cause and prevent recurrence in order to regain trust.
 The company commented, &#8220;We are taking the situation very seriously.

<h2>It&#8217;s best not to deal with it any more.&#8221;</h2>
 According to a TV station official.
 &#8220;At the interview with prefectural police officials on the afternoon of the 17th, a senior prefectural police official looked around at the beginning of the interview and confirmed, &#8216;Kantele is not there, right? In fact, there was no Kantele interview team there. It is possible that some kind of penalty was imposed.
 According to the report, &#8220;The public mood toward the heated news coverage has changed.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The public mood toward the overheated news coverage has also changed. Journalist Akira Ikegami, in an April 20 broadcast of TV Asahi&#8217;s &#8220;Yoko Oshita: Wide! Scramble&#8221; on TV Asahi on April 20.
 Scramble&#8221; on TV Asahi on April 20, he said, &#8220;From the viewer&#8217;s point of view, it is enough. Since the suspect has been caught and the suspect has admitted to the incident, I think it would be better not to report on it any longer.
 He suggested, &#8220;I think it would be better not to deal with it any more. On March 20, Ryota Yamasato of the comedy duo &#8220;Nankai Candies&#8221; also spoke on NTV&#8217;s &#8220;DayDay.com,&#8221; where he serves as MC.
 On the 20th, Ryota Yamasato, a member of the comedy duo &#8220;Nankai Candy&#8221; and MC of NTV&#8217;s &#8220;DayDay. Does it make sense to broadcast that? &#8230;&#8230;&#8221;
 He voiced his doubts.
 Perhaps these voices have been heard, and recently the amount of time spent on the case has been drastically reduced compared to the past. Something unusual has also been happening in the field of news coverage.
 The media was all over it because the numbers (viewer ratings) were good. That was the only reason. However, in light of the current situation, it was decided that further intensive coverage could lead to a public outcry. The Kyoto Prefectural Police officials privately warned us, &#8216;We are being inundated with too much information. The number of reporters on the scene is also shrinking.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Many riddles remain in the case. The prefectural police are carefully investigating the case in order to re-arrest the suspect on suspicion of murder.

 The Kyoto Elementary School Six Incidents have been reported extensively in the news and on TV programs day after day. However, a "certain change" is taking place in the field of news coverage. ......

Kyoto Prefectural Police in a tense situation are in a “quiet” mode.
