Ryu Yanobe

Ryu Yanobe (矢野部 竜, Yanobe Ryū) is the fourth victim in the Coin and Carving Murders Case.
==History==
About twenty years ago, Yanobe was treated for appendicitis. The surgery left him with a scar on his lower abdomen.
===Coin and Carving Murders Case===
Yanobe's corpse is found by a river terrace. He died after suffering a blow to the head with a blunt object. By the time, Ron Kamonohashi inspects Yanobe's body, rigor mortis reached its peak; it was estimated that he was killed the night before. The culprit then carved a "4" into his lower abdomen. Because there was no dirt from the riverbank on Yanobe's shoes, Ron suspects he was killed elsewhere and later placed by the river.
The next day, Yanobe's body is examined by Hirsch, with Totomaru Isshiki as his observer. Hirsch discovers that Yanobe was killed with a single, clean blow to the head as he has an acute subdural hemorrhage. The "4" on Yanobe's abdomen is tilted; the number on the fifth victim is tilted as well, whereas the numbers on the first three victims were not. Furthermore, Hirsch finds a Korean 500 won coin inside Yanobe's abdomen.
Ron and Hirsch later identify Yanobe's killer as Nagaoka.
