Looking For Murder
Tomaru !!
A white Lexus RX 350 cruises through the night in Osaka. The car was speeding as soon as it got out of the city center. The atmosphere of the crowded streets began to be quiet. Vehicles that cross paths with the car also began to fly rarely. The trees on the roadside seemed to run chasing after the speed of the car. Arriving at the fork, the white car turned to the right, continuing to split the road. The longer the longer the longer the walk, the turning back to the left entered the unpaved road. The car runs. The wheels of the car swivel against the rocks, like a band of percussion music in the middle of the night. 10 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a large European-style house with a high iron fence towering around the house. On the inside of the fence is lined with a living fence of the type Japanese Holy*.
A woman got out of the car, opened 2 large interlocked gates, closed the access of unauthorized people entering the residence. After the gate opened, the woman ran back up to her car. Landed cars enter the spacious yard following the path of the car that has been bitten. The courtyard of the house is filled with clusters of momiji leaves. The sound of dry leaves that collided with the tires of the car was heard accompanying their arrival.
The house looks less well-maintained. Garden lights and terrace house not light up. The flowers in the courtyard were like losing their life spirit. The dark and gripping atmosphere was drawn from the aura around the house. It was late at night, a young woman with long black hair wearing all black clothes and a black leather jacket came out of the luxury car, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a suit complete with a brown jacket that still looks handsome.
"Why did you bring me here !!" Said the middle-aged man sniffly.
The middle-aged man was Benjiro Nobou. The big house he came to at this time was the house of his parents. Benjiro's father was a retired army general. His father Akimitsu Nobou who bequeathed hard and disciplined nature to his only child. Since returning home from the Okinawan war, which brought a number of physical and psychological wounds, he grew colder with his family. His body was paralyzed, had to rely on a wheelchair. His soul was distressed, enduring the deep sorrow of losing most of his best warriors. The sound of cannons, the whirring of bullets and the death cries of his men, always loomed for the rest of his life. As a result, families are victims. Unable to bear the circumstances, the General's wife first ended her life by hanging herself in the bathroom. A few months later General Akimitsu caught up with his wife by firing a gun at her head.
After the tragic passing of his parents, the young Benjiro decides to go on the run, leaving their family's mansion. After getting married and being able to build his own business empire, Benjiro once brought his family to visit some time to the house. Renovating some damaged parts of the house. After that it was left alone. He did not want to linger in the house where his parents died. Benjiro has a pent-up anger towards the two people who have brought him into the world. They would rather end their lives and leave themselves alone.
"Dad just look". Answer Hikari with a flat face.
The lights and engine are still on.
"Will you wait here or come with me?"
"I'm coming with you ".
"Yes already then. Wait a minute, Dad".
Hikari got back in the car. He took a flashlight stored inside the dashboard, then turned off the car engine and closed the door. While walking he turned on the flashlight.
"Why not light up?" Hikari tapped on a little big flashlight with the handle onto her other palm.
"Why is the flashlight broken you brought !!". Benjiro began to get upset.
"Well, it's alive". Hikari smiled happily. "Come Daddy".
They then walked to the porch of the house. Hikari took the house key from inside her pants pocket. Put it in the keyhole. Chequek. Krieeet. Then they put their feet into the house. The spacious and dark living room welcomed their arrival. Hikari walked towards the light switch. The lights went on shortly afterwards. A different atmosphere was plastered in front of them. The inside of the house looks clean and well maintained.
"Who has occupied my house?".
"Stt. Silent Dad. You just follow me".
I don't want Benjiro to shut his mouth. He followed the footsteps of Hikari who walked deeper into the house.
"Observe your footsteps, Dad. Let's not let us get caught".
"Why should I sneak around in my own house!!".
"Dad. Please, follow my words". Hikari began to look frustrated at his father's attitude.
"Let's just follow me". Hikari did not want to argue with his father. He continued to step in through the kitchen, down the hallway behind the kitchen, and stopped in front of a door.
"Tomaru (stop) !!!". A man clutched tightly onto Benjiro's body, his left hand pointing a kunai towards the old man's neck.
