Chapter Ten
"Brat did you run the background check on Kenji Hasegawa yet?" I snapped glaring at the time line.
"Yes Danna, keep the stick out of your ass, yeah." Deidera grumbled. He smacked my arm with the small stack of papers making me grab it. "I hate working late, makes you grumpy, un."
"I'm always grumpy." I growled looking at the background. "Did you look through the street cameras?"
"Yep. The car leaves the Konoha Elite at 9:48 and gets to the street Konoha Park is on at 9:58. Ten minutes later. I tried to zoom in and enhance but I still can't get much other than Anna's black silhouette heading into the forest."
"Did you check the other streets to see who came and went?"
"Still going through them. Nothing so far." I grunted.
"Keep looking. I don't want this girl's murderer to go free. And try to look at the Parks plans to see if there's any other-"
"Way out of the park without being seen. I know what I'm doing Danna. Go get a bite to eat or take a break for a while. That stick keeps getting bigger." I glared at the blond idiot until he ducked into the tech room where Zetsu and Tobi were helping.
I turned back to the time line before looking at the papers. Five minutes later something caught my eye in the report,
'Mr. Hasegawa is the sole beneficiary of Ms. Suchen Durga- a maid who worked for Mr and Mrs. Senju- who inherited $130 million in diamonds.'
"Mr. Hasegawa worked as a security guard in Sunagakure airport when she came over." I mused. "Yet somehow he inherited her fortune when she died." I got up and clicked the computer, waking it up. I typed in the name of Suchen Durga. A list of kin showed up showing two daughters and two sons. 'She has children and yet left her money to Hasegawa. Why? How did she even know him?'
Why would a maid who never knew a security guard give him her money? I doubt her kids were bad eggs since she was moving here to be with them. How did she even know about the guard? Looking through the paperwork seemed like it was all legal but I'd need the legal department to look over the original paperwork to be sure. Then the mention of Senju, that was the mayor of Konoha's family name. She must have known the maid. Why didn't she say anything about the passing of the diamonds? Or at least have them investigated?
I sat back and looked at the time line. Anna died thanks to Moses who ended up there because of what? Good luck, bad luck, coincidence? Then Anna was killed by an unknown third party and the diamonds ended up missing. The lawyer had the diamonds for his client Kenji Hasegawa who got them from a maid who didn't even know him. That sounded odd and I'd have to check the ME report on the maid to see if anything was wrong that the cops missed. But while that was going on I'd need to find out who killed Anna.
I sighed looking at the board. Someone knew about the diamonds, someone who used Anna and then got her killed. We had no other evidence besides Moses' body and Anna who ended up in the woods. I sighed leaning forward. Maybe the brat was right. I needed to clear my head for a little bit.
With that out of the way I grabbed my jacket and headed out.
When I was walking out of the building I stopped and took a deep breath. Mentally leaving the stress here. Unfortunately the itch to move had me walking with no destination in mind. Amegakure and the block it was on was neutral territory at ironically where the five districts started. It worked out somehow.
Yet, walking in each district was different. Konoha and Suna had shops and diners where Kumo and Iwa had shady shops on voodoo, magic, and prostitutes that were open at night. Kiri was silent as not many people walked around at night for fear of being mugged.
I walked for a long time before noticing I was in Kirigakure, no where near my apartment. Escorts were walking up and down the street catcalling me and trying to advertise themselves. I ignored them all. My mind was on a certain dead woman's so called 'sister'.
The case didn't make sense. Everything was pointing to the diamonds and their shady past, not exactly looking forward to catching a killer. Someone was involved, most likely a party we hadn't interviewed yet since the suspects weren't screaming 'I DID IT!' It would actually be helpful to talk to someone on the other side of the law about this. Like Saiya. She knew the business and Anna's enemies, not to mention she could do things I couldn't, like steal from the lawyer without getting caught.
My thoughts were interrupted by screaming and shouting. When I turned a corner I saw a man trying to pull one of the prostitutes into his car. Another man was on the look out and lightly tapping his gun in plain sight keeping the other girls away.
"HEY!" I shouted. The men looked towards me while the girl kept pulling away, sobbing.
"Mind your own business man. It doesn't concern you." The man with the gun says moving and proudly showing his gun.
"It doesn't have to." I growled pulling out my gun knowing my badge flashed when the man pulling the girl straightened up. "Let her go."
"She's on the streets man. She's not your girl, obviously. It'll be better if you run along." The guy with the gun drawled. "Besides, cops usually get free pussy if they look the other way, right? So look away." The man with the girl tugged her hard and back handed her. She cried out in pain falling to the ground.
"No." I snarled pulling up my gun. The gunner did the same as his friend yanked the girl who was screaming louder and fighting him.
"Last chance." I aimed at his head ready to turn to hit the other.
"Fuck you cop." He twitched his finger.
BANG!
We turned to the alleyway to see someone melting out of the shadows.
"Now that's not very nice it is boys?" Saiya asked coldly. "Raul we had an agreement."
"Uzumaki." The gunless man growled as Raul dropped his gun.
"Hey I didn't shoot him." Raul replied stiffly.
"Sochi get your hands off her before I break it." Saiya ordered.
"Hmph, you and what army Uzumaki? You're just a tiny little bitch. Maybe you'd be some fun too."
"Wrong thing to say." A male voice came from the alley. I lowered my gun as a taller red haired man came out. His purple eyes looked like they were on fire. "You should take a message from what happened to that last guy who tried to get too chummy with my sisters."
"N-Nagato!" Sochi started blubbering so bad I raised an eyebrow. The red head was apparently powerful if he got such fear just by talking. The woman on the floor looked up. Saiya knelt forward while Nagato glared at Raul and Sochi. She murmured something in the woman's ear making the woman break down and nod.
"I've always liked hunting my prey down." Nagato said coldly. His smile was harsh. "You have five minutes to run." Raul and Sochi didn't even take a second before they were in their car and driving off.
"Raven, Fox." Nagato said when he'd put a hand to his head. Probably an ear piece. "Raul and Sochi disrespected Saiya. Teach them a lesson they won't forget." I was suddenly under the inspection of those purple eyes. And yes I admit they were unnerving. "And you are?"
"... Detective Akasuna." He nodded once before looking at Saiya who had the woman up, just barely.
"I'll take her. You should make sure he gets back to Sunagakure."
"Yes nii-san." Saiya bowed handing the woman off. Nagato swept her up in his arms and melted back into the shadows. Saiya turned to me with a raised eyebrow. "Didn't think you ever came down here."
"Where did he take her?" I asked not bothering with the comment.
"Somewhere safe where she can relax and heal." She looked at the other women. "Get home, I'll take care of your pimps."
"Thank you." A few women called while others nodded before running off. With the street empty Saiya sagged.
"I really hate the pimps around here. They never learn their lessons for long." I continued glaring at her until she simply shrugged. "Want some breakfast? We can talk in private." She started walking past me. I followed knowing I had no where else to be at the moment.
