Looking For Murder

Looking For Murder
My name is Kiyoharu Yusa


We flashback Yusa's life first, yuk.


Hikari Nobou Yusa's only wayang sister, is famous for her tough nature. No wonder their father, Benjiro Nobou entrusted their company into the hands of the younger brother, after Yusa decided to leave the post and leave their big house. Yusa also released the surname in front of her name. He added his own first name with Kiyoharu which is a combination of the word kiyo which means holy and clean and the word haru means spring.


It was not easy when Yusa decided to leave the house. He would lose all the facilities his father had given him.


The great quarrel that occurred at that time with his father, was the culmination of feelings of anger and disappointment that pent up after a long time.


“Booodoh Basics. You keep where your brain is. Easy business just like that you can't. Sales this month have dropped dramatically. If allowed to continue we can lose millions of dollars”.


“The market is lethargic again, Dad. It is not just our company that is in decline. Other companies also”.


“Alah. That's just an excuse made by people who fail. I don't want to know, you have to finish it within a week”.


“Sunday ? Just be right. That is impossible?”.


“What is impossible. There is no impossible word in the dictionary of my life. Get it over with or you'll leave my company!!!”.


“Well if it's what Dad wants. I resigned”. Yusa took her foot out of the room.


Benjiro did not expect Yusa to take such a bold step. The initial intention was to bully only his son.


“Once you get out that door, don't try to come back again. All the facilities you enjoy I'll unplug. You can't stay at my house anymore either!!”.


After being released from the family, Yusa fills her freedom by pursuing activities that she likes, namely culinary . He tried to find his luck in the outside world by working in one of the hotel restaurants in Osaka. Started his career as a restaurant waiter. He was very sure, if working diligently and earnestly, someday he would have his own restaurant.


Fortunately, he had a stash of money that his family did not know. With that money he could rent a cheap apartment and buy a used car. The money also helped him to move on with his life before he earned his own income from his job as a waitress.


Benjiro Noubu is a perfectionist father. Not tolerating the slightest mistake. As a child, Yusa often received punishment if she accidentally made a mistake. From verbal to physical punishment. His father wanted Yusa to grow up to be a strong person, to continue the baton of leadership of his hard-won business empire. Worse, the mother also supported her husband's actions. He did not care about his son's soul. His mother is rarely home. The woman is busy with her social friends who often indulge in luxury and wealth. The woman often travels abroad just to hunt for branded limited edition items as a support for her lifestyle.


Yusa is very less affection since childhood. His cup of love is empty. Both parents filled it. Yusa herself forgot what a mother's embrace felt like. Yusa also does not know what it feels like to hold a father close with love, which is said to foster a feeling of health and joy. The only love she gets is from her nanny. It was that middle-aged woman who voluntarily wiped away the tears on her cheeks, giving a hug when Yusa needed a place to dispel the feelings of sadness, fear, disappointment, and anger. He also willingly listened to every chatter that came out of Yusa's tiny mouth without interruption with great interest.


“Yusa darling, come”. The gentle woman will stretch out her hands once Yusa returns to the room after “learn” with her father.


The woman was also the one who treated the wounds on Yusa's body as a result of the father's lash when he, with limited knowledge, did the wrong thing according to his father.


In those moments, Nanny, as soon as Yusa called out to her, patiently bathed her, fed and lured her until she fell asleep.


Yusa's heart was broken when her nanny died when she was 7 years old. His soul seemed to go along with Nanny's body that was burned and turned to ashes.


Later Yusa found out that her nanny had long been suffering from a chronic disease that had gnawed her body. Doctors have long advised treatment and treatment in hospitals. However, due to her great affection for Yusa, she chooses to continue working in order to accompany the days of her gloomy little employer. He ignored the pain of being with Yusa, in order to comfort and strengthen Yusa's fragile soul. Until one day, the frail body also succumbs to the disease that has been residing in his body. In the morning, Yusa, who awoke from her sleep, found the Nanny sleeping and did not wake up again in a sitting position with her head resting on Yusa's bed. Yusa who did not understand could only look at her father's housekeepers in a crowd carrying the body of her caretaker, to the back house of the special servant. It was there that they performed the funeral rites, then brought the bodies to the crematorium. When the body was put into the crematorium, Yusa's small body ran towards the chest that was anchored into a large hole. A large and powerful hand jolted his small body and pulled him backwards. His sight instantly blurred, the field faded and darkened.


That moment will never be forgotten. A great event that became a turning point in Yusa's life without her and those around her noticing.
