Why didn't the guy take the Shinkansen. It's only about 10,000Y. I think that is fairly reasonable and a heck of a lot faster.

uhm, because they don't accept IOUs.

another odd case. 3 years after leaving japan, his "acquaintance" visits thailand with all that money, fine. murders and robs him, ok... but the stolen identity of a man that went missing doesn't make too much sense. wonder if he's connected to that too or just found out this individual…

i think remember another case of this happening not too long ago

you remember correctly. and ironically enough the chief said the same thing. "vowed to work on preventing any re-occurrences."

see what happens when you stand out? had you lost weight before starting your purse snatching career, you'd might have been a lot harder to point out of a line-up. live and learn.

she had time to walk 300 meters at 13:55 and the "first person to see her" tried to apply the breaks but didn't make it on time? hrm.

actually, IF she were to type it your way, it's 隣が痴漢、運転さんを呼んで。 but again, unlikely.

don't be ridiculous. of course they did. otherwise, should they ever land a conviction, it would be grounds for the supreme court to overturn it.
