A Japanese, Male, Age 40

[You need to go back to reading from the Prologue: Smiling Block Murders if this is your first in this series]

Friday 9th March 10.00am

LAPD was in a pursuit of a red Ford Mustang. A masked Caucasian male behind the wheel was on the run after an armed robbery at a 7 Eleven. The cashier was unhurt but the register was emptied. When making the run to the escape vehicle the masked assailant knocked off an old man on his way in. The old man lays in emergency while the police give chase. 

He gave a long and a hard chase. The chase ended when he lost control while driving through a narrow alley on 772 North Fuller Avenue.

Having apprehended him, the LAPD scooped a few pieces of the Mustang that flew on impact to the wall. As they proceed, one officer noticed a man lying close to the wall. The officer thought he had been hit by the car and could have been the probable cause for the masked assailant to lose control.

Forensics identified him to be a Japanese male age 40. He was heavy tattooed with a couple face pierce and dressed in leather. There was significant dust on him, probably stirred by the car, and there was a strong smell of decay and rotting. 

Forensics placed his death 48 hours ago and the only evidence left on the body was the paper.


A guy dressed in leather biker jacket and pants must have a motorcycle. The police scanned the area looking for a motorcycle that was probably abandoned for the last 48 hours. The first motorcycle they found was parked not very far away. As circumstance may have it, it was parked in front of “House of Freak”, a piercing parlor.

The artist on the day could identify the biker boy as a regular customer but could not provide any more details. He did tell the police that he always got his pierce done by Andre. 

Andre named our sixth victim as Etsuko. No last name known at the time.
