Looking For Murder
Watashi Mo Daisukidesu Fujimaru - san 1
Keiko picked up the phone that was in her white coat pocket. On the screen of his phone was the number of the person who had made his face red a few days ago. Trying to get rid of the doubts caused by personal problems between them, Keiko calls Takagi. In his hand there have been DNA test results of his late sister-in-law, Adriana and DNA test results of dry liquid attached to Clarisha's shirt. In the interest of investigating Clarisha's victims, he and Sora must work hard day and night, so that the results of laboratory tests quickly come out.
“Hello Doctor, Takagi is here."
“Halo, Detective. Can you come to my room. I'd like to submit the DNA test results of the late Adriana and Clarisha's victims."
“I can't see you. I am currently attending a meeting with commander Hajime.”
“Alright then. I'll just send it to your email address.”
“Alright."
“Shortly." Keiko then sent the data to Takagi's email address.
Shortly after, an email notification came to Takagi's phone.
“Have entered, Doctor. I'll look at it for a moment. “ Takagi opens an email from his smartphone.
“Hmm.. I understand, Doctor. “
“Good. Is there anything you want to ask ?”
“I am now in a meeting with the investigation team. Can you explain this report ?"
“Can, Detective.”
“Shortly. Please permission Commander, on the other end of the phone is Doctor Keiko. He will explain the results of the lab test of the late Adriana with the victim Clarisha.” Takagi asked Commander Hajime for permission.
“Continue.” Reply Commander Hajime.
“Doctor Keiko please explain."
“Good. Here's..” Keiko explained at length the results of DNA tests that he had done with his colleagues.

After completing the explanation, the phone connection was cut off. Shortly thereafter Takagi sends a short message to Doctor Keiko.
“Doctor, do you have time tonight?”
“I don't know yet, what's up?”
“Tonight I plan to take you to dinner in the first place we ate that time. Are you ready?”
“Is there anything you're celebrating?”
“Nothing. Just wanted to take you to dinner. It's been a while since we didn't have dinner together.”
“Good. Then we meet there.”
“You can take a taxi. I'll take you home later."
“ Alright. Bye then. ”

It had been 2 hours Keiko was at Tsuru Ton Tan's restaurant, the diner they agreed to meet. While waiting for Takagi, Keiko had ordered green tea and some snacks. I don't know how many times Keiko made a phone call to Takagi. The man's cell phone could not be reached.
“I am a fool. The first hour when the police couldn't be reached, I should just go home. I don't know why I'm still waiting for him here.” There was a feeling of annoyance and disappointment mixed into the one that Keiko felt. Keiko decided to leave the place. Before leaving he put his phone in a bag.
“ Keiko, isn't that you?” Keiko who was busy with her bag turned towards the voice of someone who suddenly called out her name.
“Geo?”
“What are you doing here?”
“I'm about to have dinner. Are you alone?”
“As you can see.”
“Can I sit here?”
“You seem to be waiting for someone. Your friend didn't come.. Then let's all eat together.”
“Sorry it's night. I don't want to be late for work tomorrow morning."
“Colah. We haven't eaten together in a long time. Please beg.”
Keiko's heart melted as soon as she saw Geo's eyes looking at her expectantly.
“Good. But just for a second."
“Sure. After eating you can go straight home." Geo smiled happily.
They then ordered the mainstay of the restaurant that is udon noodles and seafood. In the middle of their dinner, Geo ordered a few bottles of sake. He pours sake into o-choko* and gives it to Keiko.
“I don't drink, Geo."
“Come on a little.“
“Tomorrow I have to work, Geo."
“Little bit. Eating Japanese food is not good if not while drinking sake."
“All right a little." Keiko forced to gulp fermented alcoholic beverages made from rice and yeast rice, and the water with one gulp. As soon as the sake entered his body, a sense of warmth spread throughout his body. Keiko's white cheeks were blushing.
“Geo looks like I'm getting drunk."
Keiko nibbled her temple while closing her eyes.
“You sucked so bad. Just one sip was drunk."
“You don't know anything about me, Geo. Three years of our marriage, you consider the wind last.”
“Why did you say that? From the tip of your hair to the tip of your feet I've explored.”
“You're so perverted. “
“I am indeed a very perverted person, Kei. If I were a good person, I wouldn't hurt you so much. I'm sorry, Kei." Geo's face was bowed in lethargy.
Keiko was stunned to hear Geo's words. His little heart asked if the man who had ex-husband status, really regretted his actions ?
“Not mind you. It's all over. Let's have another drink."
“You are drunk Kei, already do not drink anymore.”
“I drink new one o-choko. Let's pour again.” Keiko thrust her pocket towards Geo.
“Good. But this is the last one.”
Geo pours sake into Keiko's o-choko. With a single gulp, the woman finished the sake she had in her grasp.
“Key. Is there someone you like right now?”
“Of course.” Replied Keiko with a reddened face due to sake.
“Who is that lucky guy?”
“The damn guy who promised me to come tonight. I waited for him for 2 hours. But until now he has not come as well.”
“Means there's no chance for me to come back to you. I regret all my past actions. Can't you give me a chance?”
“You jerk, Geo. I don't want to repeat the same mistake with you. Ahh .. Why are all the men I like a jerk. What a pity my fate.” Keiko laughs. Keiko's head was bowed on the table with her hands grasping the sake container.
“Keiko.. “ Voice someone called Keiko's name. Geo turned towards the direction the voice came from.

* O-choko: Traditional containers that come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. Because of their relatively smaller size, people often refill sake with these containers, making them suitable for more intimate and friendly occasions.
