"They are coming. Tires stretching sound can be hear now. They have reached the last corner. Who's coming in first? Now…it's…it's the Shita's Jaquar XK. Oh no, will this race will be the first defeat for Akechi? Wait. Wait. Something's cutting out from behind of the Jaquar XK. Yes!! It's Akechi's Saturn Sky. He's cutting out and passing the blue car. They almost reached the finished line and………ladies and gentleman, Akechi won the race again….."
"Congrats Ha….."
"Hey, mind your word."
"Sorry. Congrats buddy." Takeshi took a step forward and hugged Akechi. Takeshi took 5 rolls of money from his jacket pocket and handed it to Akechi. "It's yours"
"Thanks." Akechi slipped the money into her jacket, and tossed her car key to Takeshi. "As usual, take care of my baby."
"Sure. Next race is between Hashin and Koichin. Want to bet some?"
Akechi scratch her own temple, and thought for a while. Then she shook her head. "Nah. I don't have confidence in those two. Besides……" Akechi turned her attention to the crowds. Girls, guys were cheering for the racers. She raised her cap a bit to have a clearer view of the crowds. Akechi was no stranger to the crowds. She is the all time champion of the illegal race in Tokyo. Everybody knew her. Guys were envy of her skills and her popularities among the girls and girls would sacrifice anything to get Akechi talked to them. Akechi knew the girls were crazy for her not because she's good looking or man. Everybody knew she is a tomboy. The girls went after her because she is the top racer in illegal race and she earned a lot of money from winning the races. They like her money and her fame.
The crowd knew Akechi is the illegal race champion. Besides this little information, except Takeshi, no one really knew who Akechi is. She always wears a cap that hid her face, and she did not interact with other people including the other racers. Everytime when the race was over, she will picked a girl then left the scene. Only from the girls that slept with Akechi before, did the crowd know Akechi was a girl. And those girls didn't really know what Akechi looked like. Akechi always had a make out with them in a very very dark room and left before the sun shone on them. Akechi's real identity is a mystery to them and for Akechi's part, there's a secret in her that can't be told to anyone.
"Besides, it's time for me to pick up the girl of the night." Akechi said in a cold voice. It's time for her to pick up a girl and left. And the girls knew it too. The girls will stare at Akechi from far away, hoping they will be the lucky one. It's not that Akechi was interested with the materialistic girls, just that she hope she can find some comfort and use them to brush away the unhappy memories that occupied her mind most of the time.

She was wearing her pants when her phone rang.
"Yes….what? Ok. I come right now." She grabbed her jacket and closed the door without even bother to look at the naked woman who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked into the living and was greeted by two uniform officers at the main door. Everything's in the living room was in order except there was splashed of blood on the ground and on the white wall. On top of the blood was a dead woman's body sprawling on the floor with back faced up. There were multiple stab wounds on the body's back. I saw other few officers were walking around the house, taking picture and gathering evidence. I got a pair of gloves from one of my men and wore it on my own.
"Haruka." Kenchin came out from one of the rooms and walked near to me.
"Has the coroner arrived?" I asked.
"Not yet. We had called her. She said she will reach in 5 minutes time." I nodded my head. Then Peter whispered something to my ear, "There is a man in the master bedroom. When I reached here, I found he was sitting in the bedroom, shaking hard and he was holding a knife. I believe, it was the murder weapon."
"Did anyone saw her holding the knife except you?" I whispered back.
"No. I quickly took the knife away and make sure he hasn't spoken to anyone. I recognized the man. He's one of the directors of Asia Tech (L) Company, the leading technology company in Japan."
I nodded and headed my way to the master bedroom. I opened the door and saw an old man was sitting on the bed. His head hung low and was still trembling. I recognized him too. Mr Hamata Yakuza. He owned the biggest share in the Asia Tech (L) Company. I stood in front of him and scrutinized him for a while. From head to toe. My past experience told me that no doubt he was the murderer. I silently locked backed the door.
"Mr Hamata." I called for him. He did not give me any response. He was mumbling something under his own breathe but I can't hear it clearly. I called his name once again and again he didn't give me any response. I kicked the bed in furious and grabbed him by the collar and pulled it near to mine.
"I'm calling for you bastard and you better answer me if you want to save your ass out from this mess." Then I roughly pushed him back to bed. He stared at me with timid eyes and gulped.
I took a chair and sat in front of him. "You are Hamata Yakuza right?" Again he just looked at me. I inhaled a deep breath and repeated my question calmly. "Are you Hamata Yakuza, one of the directors of Asia Tech (L) Company?" He slowly nodded his head.
"Good. At least you are giving me response now. Who's the dead body outside?"
Hamata shook his head and started to cry. He buried his face on her palm and sob.
"Damm. Look at me." Still crying. "I said LOOK AT ME!" Hamata slowly raised his head up. His eyes were fixed on the ground and he was still sobbing.
"Look, be cooperate with me and I will get you out from this mess."
"I'm in….innocent." Hamata stammered in between his sobbing.
"I don't care you are innocent or not. If you want to save yourself, then answer my few questions obediently and I promise you will be saved. UNDERSTAND?" I emphasized my last word with harder tones. Hamata slowly nodded his head.
"Who was the woman outside?"
"My…my sec…secretary."
"Just secretary?"
There was a long paused before Hamata answered the question. "Sh….she was m….my mistress too."
"You wife knew bout your affair?" Hamata shook his head. "Any other people knew bout your affair with this woman?" Hamata shook his head again. "You mean you don't know or nobody knew bout it?"
"Nobody knew bout it."
"Why did you kill her?"
"It was an accident." Hamata started to get panic again.
"Tell me how it happened."
Hamata took a deep breathe. "We quarreled. She wanted me to divorce with my wife. I rejected it. She got mad and threatened me she will expose our affair to the public. I pleaded her not to do so but she won't listen. She started to run away. I was afraid. I afraid she really will tell the whole world bout our affair. I was panic. I… I don't know what had crossed my mind. Later when I got my conscience backed, only I realized I had made a big mistake. I ki…..killed her." Hamata started to shake uncontrollably again.
I tilted my head back and closed my eyes. My mind was running, analyzing Hamata's statement. After a while I turned my attention backed to Hamata and smiled. "Mr Hamata, you have to follow us back to police station to record a new statement. However, you have the rights to remain silent until your lawyer arrived. Although you were the main suspect in the case, I allow you to be on bail as I found there was other person in the house, most probably another suspect, when the murder took place. I assume the other suspect had bad intentions towards you and may have killed your secretary because your secretary may had accidentally found the second suspect, intrude your house. A new statement will be faxed to your office in few days time. For the time being, I passed you to my colleagues to handle your statement."
I stood up and walked to the entrance. As I opened the door, I turned back to face Hamata. "Mr. Hamata Yakuza, don't forget, you owe me a favour." I smiled, bowed and left the room leaving Hamata in confused state.
