“Uh-huh Claire’s with him now”

Yuki had to know for sure Was Paul’s death a homicide, a suicide, an accident, or undetermined? She said to Bunny, “He was a witness inbefore we have a determination in manner and cause of death?”

“I’ll have Claire call you, okay?”

“Wait Bunny, do you have the name of the officer or officers who called it in?”

Once Yuki had the names of the first officers, she called Lindsay and asked her to look up the report

“Okay I’ve got the file,” said Lindsay “What it says is that Paul Yates was found dead in his apartirlfriend, orried when he didn’t answer his phone He used a clothesline tied to his bedroo over the top of the door, knotted around his neck It’s written up as an apparent suicide”

Yuki texted Parisi and then called Arthur again After she briefed him, he asked, “What do we do now?”

“I want to speak with Marc Christopher”

“How can I help?”

“Go to the ME’s office and wait for Yates’s death certificate I’ll leave word that you’re there”
