Man from Reno Page #4

If you think of anything else,

please call. Thank you.

- Smells good!

- Okay, are you going to fill me in?

- On what?

- Who was that on the phone?

Uh, Mrs. Ming Yung Kim,

the owner of the pet store.

- And? - Akira Suzuki was

a part-time employee.

Showed up on time,

never caused any trouble.

His extra-curricular activities

came as a total surprise.

- No background check, huh?

- She did an inventory after that break-in.

Not even a single seahorse out of place.

Her words, not mine.

Well, what do you make of it?

Think our burglar was doing

the same thing I was,

retracing Akira Suzuki's steps,

looking for something.

- But I've been wrong before.

- I know.

Police are asking for

the public's assistance

in solving this crime.

If you have any information,

please call San Marco Coun...

- Hello.

- Thank you, sheriff.

- Who is this? - Thank you

for taking me to the hospital,

and I'm sorry I didn't

stop to thank you today.

That's okay. How about

we meet up and talk about it?

- No, I can't. I'm in trouble.

- I can help.

It will be over soon,

now that it's in the newspaper.

I only wish to thank you

- and to say good job on the TV.

- Wait, which paper?

Hello.

- Hi. I'd like to check

back in, please. - Okay.

And I'd like the same

room as before.

- Hey, Stef. Cup of coffee.

- Sure thing, sheriff.

Oh, sh*t!

- Hey, you're not picking up.

- Oh, sorry.

A missing person's report

just popped into the database

for an Akira Suzuki.

Some tourist filed it,

but no one from SFPD

has checked into it yet.

Thank you, sir.

Hi.

I'm sheriff Del Moral

of the San Marco County

Police Department.

- Yes?

- Aki Akahori?

- Yes?

- I'm with the police.

Can you open up for a second?

Hi.

Oh, I'm sheriff Del Moral

of the San Marco County

Police Department. Were...

- Can I see some identification, please?

- Uh... sure.

I need a few minutes

of your time.

It's about your friend

Akira Suzuki.

May I come in, please?

I'll meet you in the lobby.

Did your friend ever say

something about a pet store?

- Pet store? - Or anything about

going to San Marco County?

No. I mean,

as I said in the report,

- I barely know him.

- It also says he left a suitcase behind.

Yes.

May I take a look at it?

It was stolen.

Is there anything else you can

tell me about him? Any...

any kind of information

would be helpful.

As I said, I don't

really know him.

Everything I know

is in the report.

All the clues were

in that suitcase.

Clues?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just like that

you call them clues.

- It's habit, I guess.

I write mystery novels. - Oh!

Anything I might have read?

I don't know.

Um, only one of my books
