Wanted List Irk
Last post before I’m off – just wanted to post a quick thing that irked me. What with the crazy knifings and all, murder was on my brain again. (Not that I was thinking murderous thoughts. Just saying I was thinking about those stories.) Anyway, I went to buy my lunch at the grocery store and noticed the wanted list posted on the wall next to the advertisements for the drycleaners and whatnot. I took a minute to look at it, and was bugged by one entry. There were a few people on the list wanted for murder (殺人; satsujin). Tatsuya Ichihashi is not, apparently. He’s the guy who I pretty firmly believe killed Lindsay Hawker. But no, he’s not wanted for murder. Here’s the National Police Agency’s wanted record for him.

That’s right. He’s not wanted for murder. He’s wanted for “abandonment of a corpse.”
