Mrs. Jones

レイア / イギリス人夫婦

Leia and Mr. Jones appeared in an episode where Dr. Kenzo Tenma and Dieter attempted to hitch a ride to Freiham. The elderly English couple is seemingly on a "vacation" in Germany sometime after Mr. Jones retired from his former job as a policeman. When Leia spots Tenma and Dieter by the roadside, she convinces her husband to stop and give them a lift, despite Jones' reluctance. However, when their car runs low on fuel and Tenma leaves with Dieter, promising to return with help, the couple does not expect Tenma and Dieter to arrive with borrowed jerry cans after walking down the road for several hours. Thereafter, the couple treats Tenma and Dieter to dinner at a restaurant, where Tenma suggests they order a bottle of ungeheuer wine.
Although Mr. Jones, unlike his understanding wife, displays strong suspicion toward Tenma throughout his appearance due to his instincts as an ex-policeman (similar to Inspector Lunge), it is revealed that Mr. Jones has reason to doubt his instincts when the group makes a detour to visit Steinbach Castle. After reminiscing that their son Robert wrote fondly of the location's beauty in a letter, he sadly relates that Robert murdered someone there. After parting ways with Tenma and Dieter, the couple travels to Stadelheim Prison in Munich, where Robert is imprisoned. Before entering, Mr. Jones reveals to Leia that he knew Tenma was a fugitive after their earlier visit to the police station but believes he is innocent, as he wants to believe about Robert.
