Looking For Murder
Please Give Justice to My Grandchildren


Osaka Bay Wheel Apartment


Takagi enters Cho Katou's unit 110. He wanted to find something that might be a clue. The apartment which is dominated by wood color still looks clean even though it has been left by the owner for several days. The apartment is not very big. There is only 1 bedroom, a small living room with a long sofa, kitchenette, bathtub and shower, as well as a balcony that provides a beautiful view of Osaka bay.



Takagi enters Cho's room, on the nightstand there is a frame that frames a photo. A photo of Cho and an elderly woman. Takagi opened the nightstand drawer under the photo. Inside is a diary and some hospital bills.


" Who's sick?" Her muttering.


Bills from Ikeda Hospital on behalf of Akane's patient.


"Billing is not small. Actually what's Cho got to do with Akane ?"


Takagi opened the diary sheet by sheet. The diary tells the story, about a little Cho who lived a kara left both his parents for eternity. Both of Cho's parents died as a result of the bus they were riding to go to work in an accident. Both cho's parents are factory workers of an electronics company.


While at work, they entrust the care of little Cho to the grandmother, the mother of Cho's father. Since the departure of both parents, it was the grandmother who had to slam the bones to raise Cho. Cho's grandmother tirelessly worked on making bread and put it in the shops around their house, so they could survive. At the age of twilight, Cho's grandmother was diagnosed by a doctor with dementia. The longer the disease gets worse. Once upon a time, young Cho came home from work, he did not find his grandmother at home. How freaked out Cho was. He went around looking for the whereabouts of his grandmother. Fortunately, he was still on his side. Her grandmother was found by a kind-hearted man who drove her to a nearby police station.


Not wanting the event to repeat itself, Cho entrusted and entrusted the care of her grandmother to the hospital. Because of her salary as a mini market maid who certainly can not cover the size of the grandmother's care bill, Cho was forced to turn the steering wheel to work as a night woman. To cover up his disgrace, Cho sells his parents' house and chooses to live in a simple apartment away from his old house.


On the recommendation of a friend, Cho can work at HK Club Q. Such were the days that Cho lived as a lustful male stringer. Until sometime in early 2019, he met a Caucasian who he thought was very good. Knowing how difficult Cho is to live life, the man always gives more tips to him. Until one night, after they had made love, the man proposed to her. He promises Cho a decent life. And promised to cover the cost of her grandmother's treatment. Call it an oasis in Cho's life. Baby, the man is married. Cho is in a dilemma. He did not refuse or accept. He asked for time to think and decide the best course of his life.


Up here, Takagi took a deep breath.


" There's no way that guy killed Cho. He proposed to her. The last three men using Cho's services were so shocked to learn Cho had left in such a horrible way. Who would have killed this woman who loved her grandmother so much?"


" Akane's. Is that Cho's grandma's name?"


Takagi hurriedly closed the diary and slipped some hospital bills on the sidelines of the book. And get out of that place.


Ikeda hospital


Krieet.. The door to the inpatient room was open. A nurse and a police officer found the occupant of room 321 sitting on his bed facing the bedroom window.


" Miss Cho is visiting?'


"Every day, sir. By lunchtime, Miss Cho must have gotten here and left at about 4pm"


" How about Akane-sama's treatment costs?"


"Miss Cho is paying it off until next month, sir. We still provide the best service we can provide"


"Oh so. Can I talk to him?"


"Please, Sir. I'll keep an eye out from here"


"alright. Thanks"


Takagi walked ashore towards where Akane was. He pulled the chair near the patient's gurney.


"Good day, Madam. I'm Fujimaru Takagi. Your granddaughter's friend Miss Cho. How are you today?"


There was no answer from Akane. Even if he does not.


"Madam, I came to tell you, that Miss Cho is currently unable to meet you. He has to work out of town. He sends his greetings to me for you"


Grandma Akane did not react to anything. Not long after, suddenly the water in both of the old woman's eyes dripped.


"You don't lie to me, I know that my granddaughter is gone" she said, wiping her tears.


"My grandson came in my dream with a lot of blood on his body. He didn't speak, just cried as if asking for help. Sir, please give justice to my beloved granddaughter" while looking at Takagi expectantly.


Takagi was silent unable to speak. Just clutching her hand at that old hand was as if saying "I do my best".
