Looking For Murder
The Siera Rosalie Fujimaru 2 Premeditated Murder Trial

10 Minutes later, the defendant, Ren Tanoue and his legal counsel entered the room. With a hateful look, the man who walked in handcuffed hands looked at Takagi unblinkingly until he reached his seat. The man turned his face away after one of his legal advisers asked him to speak. I don't know what the man whispered to his client, so the suspect did not intimidate Takagi with the look in his eyes again. Seeing that, Takagi just took a deep breath. Trying to regulate his heartbeat that had pulsed faster.

Keiko tightened her hand. Giving a shady smile, soothing Takagi's heart that started to heat up. What Ren Tanoue did was astonishing. The reason for spending his son's life is only because Takagi arrested his older brother, Fumio Tanoue, who was involved in a rape case (chapters 14, 45). And consider his actions right by justifying the mistake of the brother and blame Takagi for the maximum sentence of 12 years that must be received by his brother. Their families could only accept the judge's verdict. Being unable to hire a lawyer to continue the case to appeal level. No lawyer in the legal aid agency was willing to help her. Because the case has been proven legitimately and convincingly. While the Yakuza organization where her brother took shelter, as if hands off. They do not want to be bothered with the personal affairs of their members who often make a tantrum.

10 Minutes passed, the substitute clerk* who will be on duty, entered the courtroom. They were seen preparing and providing court papers before the judges entered the courtroom. Procedures for the conduct of the trial continued, until the judges opened the hearing and read out the verdict. In his judgment, for the sake of justice based on the almighty God, the 5-person panel of judges ruled that defendant Ren Tanoue was validly proven and convinced to have acted deliberately and planned to eliminate the lives of others. The incriminating things for the defendant are fleeing for two years, convoluted in giving evidence, and having tried to eliminate evidence. The mitigating thing, Ren is young and has never been punished before.

Based on that, the judge ruled Ren Tanoue sentenced to prison for 20 years of imprisonment. The judge's decision is heavier than the prosecution's charge of prosecuting Ren for 12 years in prison. For the verdict, the prosecutor and the defendant's counsel expressed their thoughts.

“Yes God. Thank you.” Takagi linked his two hands to his chest, as soon as the verdict was finished read out by the presiding judge. Keiko's hand in Takagi's hand was lifted. He felt the vibration of the man's body that held back his sense of smell.

“Sayang. Congratulations yes. I'm so happy for you. Hopefully this is the answer to your long wait so far.” Keiko said sincerely.

“Thanks dear.” Takagi kissed on the back of Keiko's hand. They hugged a few moments. Slowly Keiko rubbed Takagi's wide back.

“Already. We're out of here.”

“Come. After this I will introduce you to someone.” Decompose her embrace and stare fixedly at Keiko's pretty face.

“Who? “

“Later you will also know.”

“Will he like me?”

“Of course. Who wouldn't love a beautiful and kind woman like you?”

“You could have. “ Keiko's face meets red again.

They then stepped out of the courtroom which had been completed a few minutes earlier. As soon as he arrived in front of the exit, master Satoshi Nomura was already waiting for him, with his two bodyguards.

“Good afternoon Mr. Fujimaru. Long time no see, how are you?“ While bowing the body.

“Siang, Mr. Nomura. Good as you can see.” Come bowing.

“Sgratitude.” Nomura looked at Keiko who was beside Takagi. “Good day, Mistress.” Bowing ones body.

“Siang too, Mr. Satoshi. But I'm bu..” Keiko was intending to correct the Madam's call that Satoshi had spoken to her, but with a gesture of tightening her hand, Takagi prevented Keiko from saying that.

“I want to thank you, Sir. Finally my little princess' case is coming to a bright spot."

“That's my job, sir. You don't overstate.”

“I'm not exaggerating, but that's the reality. Even so, congratulations to you, sir. The verdict has been handed down by the judge. Although not the maximum penalty.”

“It's okay. I'm grateful for whatever verdict the judge will give him. The perpetrator must feel the consequences of his actions. Because whatever verdict the judge will give, will not give me back my son's life.”

“You're so good, sir. I'll make sure he goes through all his sentences.”

“But there's still an appeal line, sir. He can request leniency through high-level court.”

“Master rest easy, I'll make sure he won't do that. “

“Can it be like that? Isn't that the right of every convict?”

“Of course you can. Does Master doubt my abilities?”

“No Sir. Not one bit I doubt.”

“Alright then. To celebrate today, how about we have lunch together while drinking.”

“Wah. Very amusing. But baby, we have an appointment with someone. Maybe next time, Mr.”

“Wadd. Too bad. Then next time you should make time for us to celebrate today.”

“Sure Mr. I'll call you if there's free time.”

“Alright I will wait for news from you Mr. Fujimaru. Then excuse me. There is something important that I also have to finish today.”

“Please Mr. See you soon.”

They also separated. Takagi and Keiko continued their journey.

“Come.” Takagi again clasped Keiko's hand. They walked to the parking lot.
