Looking For Murder
Gina Ayumi, Your History

After exiting Commander Hajime's room, while waiting for the task letter to be typed, Takagi sat in his room. Fiddling with cell phones and trying to contact Doctor Keiko.

"The phone is inactive. Still a task like that. When the autopsy was done, he looked different. Although he tried to cover up, the sad look in his eyes could not be covered"

Takagi looked at the circular watch on his left wrist.

" At 12. Time for lunch. I stopped by Doctor Keiko's office for a minute. At least my arrival can be a little entertaining. Did I bring you lunch?" Takagi seemed to think for a moment.

"I'll order it now, let's hurry" and then he ordered a lunch package from his favorite cafe.

Shortly thereafter an administrative officer handed Takagi the required paperwork. He did not wait for a long time to leave the Osaka police station.

Half-run Takagi enters the hospital where Keiko is on duty. He did not have much time, his next task was waiting. From afar Takagi sees Doctor Keiko heading to his room while reading the file in his hand.

"Doctor Keiko !!" Call Takagi.

Keiko, who was serious about the file she was reading, seemed surprised by Takagi's arrival who looked rushed.

"Detective ? What's up?"

With a hunting breath, Takagi arrived before Keiko by raising his right hand that held a paper bag that read Sakura Cafe.

"What's that?"

"Our lunch"

"We?"

"Yes. You haven't had lunch, have you? I haven't either. Here I take bento. I don't know what your favorite food is. I just called you, but your phone's off. I just came here and brought this" Takagi said as he rubbed his back neck, smiling.

There was a breeze so cold that it blew Keiko's heart. Somehow the little attention that Takagi showed, slightly treated her troubled heart.

"Yes. If it's on duty, I'm off the phone"

"So. This how?" Takagi asked while shaking the paper bag he was holding.

"Because it's already here, what can be done. We'll just eat in my room"

"OKs. Sip then. Any way, I can't take long. After this, I have to go to Osaka High School for investigation"

"Oh so. Let's Detective, come on in"

Takagi and Keiko, spent their lunch with small talk. From that short lunch, Keiko sees the other side of Takagi's spontaneous self, what Ada is and is attentive.

At 2pm, Takagi was already at Osaka High School. Armed with a letter of duty signed by Commander Hajime, Takagi requests a copy of the data of the victims of teacher Ayumi 8 years ago.

" We actually object to giving you a copy of this data, Detective. Because this concerns the good name of our former protege" said Miho Kanna, principal of Osaka High School.

"We just need comparison data. We suspect that one of Miss Ayumi's victims is a murder suspect. Within a week, two people were victims. One of them is Miss Ayumi herself"

"Yes, Mom. This morning his body was found. And an autopsy has been performed"

"Well, for humanitarian reasons, we are willing to help. Detective, I'm gonna ask for a copy of the data from the student field"

Miho Kanna contacted the Head of Studentship with a phone plane at her desk. Shortly after, a woman knocked on the door of the Headmaster's room.

Geck.. Geck..Tok

"Come in"

A woman wearing a white blouse and a knee-high blue skirt walked into Kanna's room.

"This, Ma. Copy of the data you requested" While handing over the paper sheet to Kanna.

"Thank you, Hara"

"What is this for, Mom?"

"This data is needed by the police to help reveal Miss Ayumi's murder" Kanna replied

"Oh my God" Hara was shocked to not believe.

"Oh yes, Detective Takagi. This is Miss Satomi Ishihara, the Head of Studentship here. Hara, this is Detective Takagi from the Osaka Police Department"

Takagi who was introduced to Hara, reflexes rose from his seat.

"Hello. I'm Ishihara. Just call Hara" She said, bowing her body a little

"Fujimaru Takagi" Takagi replied.

"Here, Detective copies the data" Kanna hands Takagi the data sheet.

"Thank you" Takagi took the paper and read it

"Has all the victims reported to the crisis center in the form of the school?"

"I don't think all victims report by sharing reasons we don't know" Kanna replied

"I remember that time, there was a rumor, three students who had a routine schedule four times a week met Miss Ayumi, did not come to report her" said Hara

" Why is that?" Ask Takagi

" As the time of the incident was revealed, the three students had graduated from this school. They may be embarrassed to report themselves. It is alleged that one of them has died, suicide due to depression" Hana continued

"If you could know who they are? " Task Takagi

Hana and Kanna looked at each other. From the look in her eyes, Hana asks Kanna's permission. A few seconds later, Kanna nodded her head giving her approval.

"The former student who killed himself was named Kazuhiko Masato. The other two students, Shuji Tetsuya and Kiyoharu Yusa"
