Looking For Murder
Can You Help Me?
After Takagi's death, Kaoru returns to her desk. Flipping through files that are unknown for how many times he saw. A 4-year-old girl, Seira Rosalie Fujimaru.
When the incident occurred, Kaoru had just been transferred to Osaka after serving in Shimamoto, a small town located at the northeast end of Osaka prefecture.
His humanity was moved, what about his own eyes, seeing Takagi fall awake to live his life. After the loss of the princess, followed by his wife who resigned from their marriage. Really 2 severe events that Takagi must face in a period of almost the same time. Kaoru herself did not know if she would be able to get through it, if the same incident befell her. Husband and wife are supposed to support each other and strengthen, if there is a storm crashing in the middle of the biduk trip
their ladder. Not to blame one of them for events that have become the destiny of the creator. Who wants to lose their baby in a very tragic way. No parent wants to. But that is destiny. No human being is able to prevent and reject His will.
Kaoru took a deep breath. The Osaka police are like raising their hands with the case of Seira's death. Moreover, allegedly, the culprit is a member of the Yakuza. And Takagi never mentioned it either. Kaoru knew that deep down, Takagi felt very burdened with the yet-to-be-discovered hit-and-run of his daughter.
The Anti Yakuza Act, which has been revised to 32 times since 2012, further complicates the Yakuza and makes it difficult for the Police. Yakuza cannot make nameplates and business cards.
The police can no longer arbitrarily go near or outside the Yakuza headquarters for fear of violating the Anti Yakuza Law. Therefore the police are increasingly having trouble figuring out who he really is and from which organization.
Yakuza members can not be detected easily, not only is it difficult for police to trace it, Yakuza subordinates can also arbitrarily act, even endangering the community. Like the hit-and-run case of princess Takagi.
Being a police officer, it was never in Kaoru's life plan. The plan changed 180° after he met with Takagi. At the time, he was still a high school student. He who in school is famous as a cupu student, often get unpleasant behavior from his friends. One day, Kaoru gets bullied outside of school. He was surrounded by 3 friends. Takagi who was still an ordinary police officer, happened to pass by at that place.
He became a hero to the young Kaoru. Helping her get away from bullying at school. Invite schools and parents to care about the bullying that occurs in their schools. Takagi also proposed a 3-month social service sentence at a nursing home for the bully after school. Takagi's meddling brought about a major change at the school where Kaoru was studying. This is what students like Kaoru have been waiting for.
Kaoru still remembered, Takagi's words became his spirit whip. Takagi once said “Some people like you, some people don’t. In the end you just have to be yourself. (Some people like you, some people don't. In the end be yourself)"
Words that have deep meaning for Kaoru. Perhaps Takagi had forgotten the events of 8 years ago, but not for Kaoru.
"Do I have to ask Uncle for help? I haven't seen him in a long time. Does he still remember me?"
Kaoru does have a Yakuza uncle. The secret was never opened to anyone. His mother invited little Kaoru to move, as his uncle joined the Yakuza group Sumiyoshi-kai. At that time Yakuza groups were always troublemaking. There are often wars between organizations. The kobe-based Yamaguchi-gumi, often noisily jockeying for members with the Osaka-based Sumiyoshi-kai. In addition, the Anti-Yakuza Act states that if you are involved or have Yakuza acquaintances, community members cannot open bank accounts. If you have one, the account will be closed by the bank. The person also can not rent a house, can not transfer money anywhere, can not do business legally because the business license and everything will be canceled or will not be issued.
There are so many obstacles in society if proven to have Yakuza friends. That's why at this time every Japanese person will limit themselves will not talk about the Yakuza. By the way, let's not let the information spread and he'll be called by the police. His life and work are getting harder. Though, he himself might not be a Yakuza.
That was why Kaoru had never opened her identity. But seeing that princess Takagi's hit-and-run perpetrator is still roaming free, Kaoru has to rethink. Seeking a hit-and-run offender and demanding justice for his life-saving daughter.
Kaoru is in a dilemma.

At 11:30 p.m., in front of a restaurant in Shinsekai, Kaoru let out a heavy breath. In this restaurant based on the information he heard, the uncle often visited, because the restaurant was one of the businesses in their organization. Previously he had left all of his personal identity in the car. Including his police badge and revolver. It was done to anticipate the bad possibility that would happen. Because the goal is to meet the uncle and ask for his help in a good way.
Kaoru entered the restaurant. And take a seat in the corner of the room. A male servant came to him, carrying a menu and a notebook.
"What message do you want, sir?" Put the menu in front of Kaoru.
Kaoru looked at the menu list, then she asked.
"Where can I meet Oji no (My Uncle) Nomura Satoshi?
The servant looked at Kaoru's face.
" What does Mr have to do with Mr Nomura?"
"I told you already. He's my uncle"
"Whose name sir? "
"I'm Usui Kaoru"
"Sir wait here for a moment"
The waiter passed. He's headed for the bar table that's on the other side of Kaoru's desk. He whispered something to a man who was drinking there. The man was wearing a black suit. The man in black clothes looked towards Kaoru. Shortly after, the man approached her. The waiter was seen entering a door next to the bar table.
" Usui Kaoru"
"Kaoru-san's chat. What is the need, do you want to meet Mr Nomura?"
"Do I have to tell you my needs. I'm nephew. There's something personal I want to talk to my uncle about"
"alright. Follow me" The man led Kaoru to follow him to the door the servant had entered. Behind the door was a hallway. On both sides of the hall were doors that were spaced apart from each other. Most likely, behind the door are rooms that are provided specifically for customers who want to rent it. Arriving at a door, Ken stopped his steps.
"Master, here Kaoru-san wants to meet" Ken said without opening the door.
"Send him in" a man's voice came from inside the room
After getting permission, Ken opened the door by sliding it slightly. When the door opened, there was a middle-aged man with a full body tattooed, who was wearing only a fundoshi (traditional Japanese da lam pants), sitting in front of a short-legged table surrounded by 3 women wearing only da lam clothes, who were not properly positioned and positioned. On the table were scattered bottles of drinks and various packages of snacks.
" My nephew. Kaoru. Comein. You're all out."
The women rushed out hugging each other's clothes.
"Ken, bring food and drink here"
"Good Sir"
Ken bowed his body and walked backwards leaving the place.
Kauro entered the room by first removing his footwear. He bowed his deep body in front of Satoshi.
Satoshi got up from his seat and immediately he hugged Kaoru tightly.
"It's been a long time. How you doing, son?" Satoshi patted Kaoru on the back.
"OK, Ojisan. You look young. Your face hasn't changed since the last time I saw you"
"Ha ha ha .. You could have. Let's sit here."
Kaoru sat next to her Uncle. They talk like family. Before long, Ken came along with several people behind him who brought various foods and drinks. In between the banquet, Kaoru recounts the intention of his arrival to Satoshi.
"You dare come here to see me. You know what happens when someone reports this"
" I know, Ojisan"
"That means Fujimaru-san is in your eyes"
"Yes. Thus, Ojisan. You're my only hope. I just need the perpetrator and the evidence. Can you help me?"
"Hm. I can't promise you anything. You put me in a difficult position. Fumio Tanoue, I used to be my man. You know how we organize. Protect each other. It's not hard for me to find the perpetrator and the evidence. Again I say, you're taking me in a difficult position"
"I understand, Ojisan. I really hope you can help me repay the man who saved my life"
"Give me some time. I'll think about it"
"Alright Ojisan. Tell me, if you've decided"
"certain. I'll let you know"
At 2 am, Kaoru left the place.
"May Ojisan help me. At least I tried"
