Riley Kawabata is a minor character who appears in The Silver Case. He is the coroner for the Heinous Crimes Unit.

Appearance and Personality

Riley Kawabata is a middle aged, mustachioed man with dark hair. He seems to be a rather well adjusted and normal man by the standards of the HCU. He sees the HCU detectives as eccentric loose cannons that "don't know when to stop". Despite this he seems to have a good relationship with Kiyoshi Morikawa as the two usually play Mahjong together.

History

Kawabata first appears briefly in case#1:decoyman, examining the body of Yuka Kawai. He appears again in case#2:spectrum, investigating the apparent suicide of Kenichi Hiruma at Typhoon. He meets up with Chizuru Hachisuka and Akira when they arrive at the scene. He notes that the victim died instantly after the fall and that there are no clues pointing to murder. He tells Chizuru to tell Morikawa to come around for Mahjong again. He wishes the two of them luck and leaves to perform the autopsy.
