Looking For Murder
Hikari At Hotel Prodeo 1

We return to the trial of the verdict of the planned severe persecution case with the defendant Hikari Nobou.

“Considering the defendant has never been previously convicted and cooperated during the investigation and investigation process took place. The defendant is young and admitted his guilt. Sentencing defendant Hikari Nobou with a sentence of 3 years imprisonment.”

Tok tok... The judge tapped his great hammer on the court table.

“How are the law prosecution brothers ?”

“We thought about it first, your honor.” Answer Prosecutor.

"Brother defender ?"

“We will consult our client first, your highness.” Answer Teramae.

“Good. We are waiting for your decision for the next 14 days. “ Tok tok.

As soon as the judge closed the hearing, and left the courtroom, Hikari was immediately led by several officers to the prosecutor's car. The plan that day, he will immediately stay at the hotel prodeo.

“Mother...!!” Hikari exclaimed at Yana who was directly chasing after her daughter.

“Pak. Waita minute. Give your mother a chance to talk. “ Teramae holds Hikari's body being herded by officers.

“Let's go on the shelf. Families will be given the opportunity to meet convicts.” Said an officer.

“Come Sir. Humanize a little. He's not a cold-blooded killer. Nor is he a terrorist who threatens the security of the country. Why is your attitude too excessive?” Teramae Protest.

“Good. 2 minutes. No more.” Said a more senior officer. Yana immediately approached Hikari and hugged her daughter.

“Mother help me.”

“Quiet yes, Son. We will fight to the end. Be patient. “

“Iya, Mom. I trust you.”

“Later we'll meet on the lawn, Miss. We'll discuss everything later there.” Hikari nodded.

“It's been two minutes. Come.”

Sora, how are you? Longing instantly lingered in the recesses of his heart. Since the fateful event, he has not met the lover. Coupled with the 3-year sentence that he had to live, could he go through days that would certainly feel torturous.

A few tens of minutes passed. Hikari arrived at the women's room. As soon as he got out of the car, Teramae and his mother also arrived there.

“You'll be fine, baby. Trust in Mom. “ Yana hugs her daughter just before Hikari walks into her cell.

“There are still many ways to free you. Besides we can appeal, cassation, review. We can also apply for parole¹ if you have served 2/3 of the sentence.”

"Should I wait two new years I can apply for parole? I can't stand it, Mr. Teramae.. “ Say Hikari with a cold gaze. " I don't want to know. Appeal immediately."

"I'll do it, Miss."

Before occupying his cell, Hikari is required to perform several procedures, including leaving everything he wears and replacing it with a toilet-dweller uniform. The goods will be handed back to him when he has finished carrying out his sentence.

Hikari was then placed in the woman's cell along with two other inmates.

Jails in Japan are not overcrowded and well maintained. Prisoners are treated the same, receive the same amount of food, wear the same uniform. There was hardly any violence between prisoners. There was no revenge killing and no rape. The situation was so peaceful that there was usually only one guard guard guarding 40 prisoners.

His life in prison has just begun. Hikari had to get used to all the strict rules of the prison walls. Jails in Japan are well-organized and rigid. When it got there, Hikari got a great guide on how to behave. Like how to walk, talk, eat, sit and sleep. When eating should look down, when sleep is mandatory with the face shown.

Bathing is only allowed a few times a week with the supervision of a guard.

If you break, you will get a penalty. The most common are the loss of privileges for recreational time, TV access, and the loss of the most desirable jobs.

Almost all inmates work, either in prison maintenance or as contract work for private companies, for six days a week. Depending on the prison, all prisoners work both internally and externally for companies that have contracts with the government. His salary was very low, only a penny per hour. But for prisoners it is seen as a good opportunity to see the outside world.

As a new inmate, Hikari was involved in the maintenance of the prison, in the form of cleaning the prison yard, to help in the prison kitchen, according to the daily schedule that has been determined.

A quiet as well as torturous life for Hikari. He had to endure a very longing for Sora the lover. Chatting is only allowed during the day. It can only be done on the sidelines of his daily work, at rest hours. A visit from relatives should only be for 5 to 30 minutes. Visitors are allowed only family or lawyers. No husband-wife visits, though,

bride or boyfriend, let alone the love room.
