Looking For Murder
5 Minutes, Why So Long ?

Keiko looked at Takagi's body that was drifting away. I don't know why there was worry covering his heart. He squeezed the fingers of his two hands, glancing at the clock that was coiled around his left wrist.

"5 minutes, why so long?"

His heart was racing fast. Face paled. While biting the seedlings underneath, his eyes continued to look towards Takagi disappearing earlier, hoping that the man would appear in good health soon.

Meanwhile the man who was being awaited by Keiko, ran over with a sneak. He tried every step of his foot to move without making a sound. As soon as he arrived at the end of the passageway, he grabbed his body against the wall while peeking. He could see from where he was standing, the man who had been wearing it, was disarming the young woman's clothes, who had been lying helplessly.

One of the men whistled.

"A beautiful view. Are you sure you'll share it with us?" Said the man in blue.

"of course. I have promised. I won a bet and got the jackpot. Ha. Ha .. Hah.." Said the man wearing the flowers.

"You wicked lover" said the man in a black shirt.

"Who told me he was selling me dearly" replied the man in a flower shirt later.

The three men grinned with their eyes staring hard, looking at the beauty of the woman's body half-swallow*jang. They are seen removing their respective 'sticks' which are on their feet starting to stand, ready to execute their prey.

Clontang..

Takagi throws a drink can, which happens to be there.

"Who is that !!!" Excited the man in the shirt of flowers. He gave the code to his friend who was wearing black. The man who was given a code, then looked for the direction of the sound with a feeling of force.

"That's. Just interrupt" he put his 'stick' back in and locked it inside his pants.

Soon, footsteps approached where Takagi was hiding. As soon as the man approached, Takagi grabbed the person's hand and pulled him. The man got hit suddenly. Not yet lost his surprise, Takagi quickly patted the fatal point of his target with the bottom of his two palms, on the left jaw area and the top of the right back neck simultaneously.

Bruck..

The man collapsed and fainted. Takagi then dragged the man's body to the edge of the wall. Not to forget he handcuffed both hands of the man behind his body.2 remaining people seemed to be wary. Takagi took the revolver from the waist on the back. He came out of hiding by pointing a gun at the 2 delinquents.

"Police !!! Hands up !!!"

Both men were surprised. They reflexively raise their hands. Takagi glanced at the fainted woman, having been stripped of some of her clothes.

"Share your 'swords !!" Takagi pointed at the two objects with his revolver.

The two men looked at the bottom of their stomachs. With the pain, the two men enter their 'swords' that have stood up.

"Kneel down and put your hands on your head"

The two people without saying much, could only follow Takagi's command at gunpoint. Takagi quickly took the handcuffs of plastic handcuffs from the leather pouch on his waist, and placed them on the two men. He rushed to check on the victim's condition.

"This behavior of yours is truly shameful. You have bad intentions for helpless women. What would your parents say if they saw the behavior of their child's depraved" while covering the victim's exposed body with both hands.

Suddenly, cresss...

Takagi's body was pushed forward. He almost squeezed the victim, if only his hands did not quickly hold his body weight. The revolver in his grasp slipped a few meters away. He felt a great pain in his back. With all his might, he got up and tried to stand up. Groped his back with his left hand. There's a kunai stuck in there.

*****

Kunai ( ⁇ or ⁇ ) is a small piece of equipment used by ninja. This tool resembles a pointed-tipped knife and is often used like a nail by the ninja to stick to the wall when climbing or digging the ground.

*****

He turned his body. A skinny young man of almost the same height as himself, had thrown a kunai at his back. The young man grinned showing his yellowed teeth.

" It's a good thing I went to the toilet earlier he he he he.."

Regardless of the pain attacking from the back of his body, Takagi quickly made a twisting and jumping motion. He knocked the man down with a single kick.

Bruck..

Got a hard kick on his head, the man collapsed with a prone position. Fresh blood flowed from his nose.

"I've guessed, it's just your ability" Takagi said as he endured the pain.

"Detective !! You okay?" Kaoru arrives with several police officers.

"It's good you guys have come. Take them to the office, on the charge of attempted rape" Takagi said as he tried to stand up straight.

"How many people did it?" Kaoru asked without paying attention to Takagi's expression.

"There are 4 people. That one I live in front of there. Have you guys secured it?" Grimacing while enduring the pain.

"What we've secured up front, Detective"

Kaoru and the police officers immediately dragged the three remaining perpetrators.

"The victim has not been touched. But he was unconscious. It looks like it needs to be taken to the hospital to confirm his condition" Takagi said later.

"Paramedics are coming soon, Detective" Kaoru said.

"Goodle. Let's wait" Takagi replied in a slightly trembling voice.

"Detective, thank God you're okay" Keiko came to the scene after seeing the suspects taken by police.

"Doctor..." Takagi tried to smile at Keiko's arrival.

Keiko approached Takagi with wide steps. Her smile faded away to see Takagi's pale countenance and her lips tremble. 3 steps, 2 steps, 1 step..

Bruck...

"Detective !!!!!" Keiko was surprised as soon as Takagi collapsed in her arms. His eyes were perfectly rounded seeing a ninja blade standing gallantly on Takagi's back. As much as Keiko's energy to hold the weight of the Police body.

Kaoru who heard Keiko's cry, spontaneously turned around. Immediately ran towards Takagi who was in Keiko's arms.

"Yes God. Why don't you tell me you're hurt, Detective!!" Shouted Kaoru in panic.

The newly arrived paramedics checked the condition of the victim, rushing to check on Takagi.

"He lost a lot of blood. Must be taken immediately to the hospital" said a paramedic, pressing both sides of the injured object to stop the bleeding.

The ambulance safe was immediately lowered. Takagi immediately raised onto it. Keiko helped suppress Takagi's wounds on one side.The other side was done by a paramedic.

While running they push the gurney towards the ambulance that will take Takagi to Osaka University hospital as the nearest hospital.
