Yuto Watanabe

Yuto Watanabe (Jpn: ) was the victim in A Death Wish (Case #29 of World Edition).

Profile
Yuto was the family boss of the Watanabe-gumi yakuza group. He had grey hair, and was wearing a white suit and hat at the time of his death.

Murder Details
Yuto was found in an arcade with a sword through his chest and a gunshot wound on his head. His body was sent to Angela Douglas, where she determined the shot to the head was the killing blow. The stab wound was self-inflicted, leading Angela to believe Yuto tried to end his own life via hara-kiri after he knew he would be killed. She also found an origami crane in his suit jacket with the message, "This is #1000. Now you are dead." According to her, a Japanese legend state those who fold a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish. With that in mind, it meant the killer knew origami.

After examining the arcade again, Jack Archer and the player managed to find a gun hidden in a claw machine. It was sent off to Jonah Karam and he managed to determine that it was the murder weapon. Then June Douglas came in and said her dad found traces of highly chlorinated water mixed with the gun residue around the grip. Jonah said the only way to find highly chlorinated water like that was in a sento bath, which meant the killer took sento baths.

Killer and Motives
The killer was revealed to be an English teacher named Emily Wallace.

After denying involvement, Emily admitted to shoot and kill Yuto to avenge the death of her fiancé and Yuto’s nephew Shiro. Yuto killed Shiro prior to the events of the case because he left the yakuza to marry Emily, taking some of their money in the process. He also shot Emily and left her for dead. Judge Adaku sentenced her to 10 years in prison.
