Memento Mori
Ep. 2 Crime 1:10 Years ago (2)

Suddenly Senior stopped the speed of his car suddenly. Nana was surprised by the body leaning forward thinking their car hit something.

"Take out your identity card, we'll go through the guard post." Senior sounded annoyed.

It seems Nana's guess is right about Senior wanting to make this case as a stepping stone for him to be able to raise the rank. However, Nana's words just now were like hurting Senior's feelings.

Nana is curious about Senior's desire to rise through the ranks that seems rushed even though from his current age Senior can rise to higher as time goes on.

However, he seemed to have a reason and chose an unresolved case for 10 years as a shortcut.

For Nana to investigate the case back in time like now would be very difficult if they did not have key information or a strong bond with the events of that time. Because a lot of evidence that has been removed makes it difficult for investigators to solve the case.

Nana takes out her police identity card, then shows it to the guards of the prison gate. After they were allowed in. Their cars were also inspected.

The left side of the road from the side of the car, where Nana was sitting, she saw the women and men as if waiting with a sour face and full of disappointment.

It turns out that the words of Senior, not a few protesters who were outside the detention house waiting for Arai. They spoke words of protest, mockery and annoyance to Arai and the police.

Not only the public, the news seekers have also prepared to wait with their cameras for the news that is still very fresh.

The senior drove the car he was driving at minimum speed into the spacious courtyard of the detention house, but there was nothing around him other than an empty field and parking lot.

Senior stopped the car in front of the building entrance, he pulled the car's handbrake to keep the car in position.

A police officer approached their car and saluted them in a standby position.

Senior got out of the car followed by Nana who was a little troubled because she had to put her backpack back on. He did not intend to leave the bag in the car in contrast to Senior who left his coat and bag in the car.

After all who would take the items in the empty car in the courtyard of the detention house, they would only see his future here, maybe that was what Senior thought.

They are escorted to meet Arai who is waiting at the entrance of the detention house.

Nana saw a man with mature brown skin, oily face and hair that seemed combed carelessly standing with two police officers who were guarding him behind.

"Mr Arai?" Senior had intended to shake hands with him, but the man who looked to be in his late 30s or 40s range seemed to be refusing to be suave from Senior.

"Do I need to answer? It doesn't seem like there's any need for an explanation when you see these two cops behind me."

Senior pulled back his hand, assuming it never happened. It is possible that Arai still remembers the person who arrested him 8 years ago so he does not want any familiarity between them.

"Alright then, I don't need to explain at length either. It seems you know the reason we're here." replied Senior who tried to hold back when facing Arai.

"It's troublesome. Why don't they let me be free in peace? I haven't even kidnapped that kid. Are they not satisfied with imprisoning me 8 years? Just try to feel how 8 years they've been here."

As if he did not regret his actions. Arai just kept complaining, Nana looked really upset.

"You said 'No chance yet'? Do you need to do that kidnapping before you're arrested you're sorry for what you did?"

It felt like Nana wanted to hit this man in front of her.

"Nana, relax." Senior hinders Nana from advancing closer to Arai. "There's no point in you following this guy's words. Although he is recidivist, doing actions without reason by officers can be sanctioned. Don't you hurt yourself because of this guy."

Hearing that Nana returned in the initial position, although she was actually still angry with Arai who did not seem the slightest bit of regret to him.

Arai shrugged both of his shoulders with a mocking face as if to say how I know, to Senior.

Arai's nature is still like a teenager who was in a period of rebellion when he was not that young.

Senior did not want to linger in dealing with Arai that casually. He immediately tells Arai to get into the car so that Senior and Nana's duties are quickly completed and no longer continue to be with Arai.

To prevent Arai from doing anything in the back seat of the car. Senior changes position sitting in the back seat with Arai and Nana asked to replace him driving.

"Are there a lot of people standing there?" Arai inquired about the existence of the protesting masses to him.

"What if you see for yourself. Do we need to get out of the car to greet the news-hungry press? I'm sure many will say the word love to you."

Arai's face looked sour and disgusted upon hearing the reply from the senior.

When the gate opened, Nana's car carrying Arai out across the crowd was like knowing that the silver sedan car was carrying Arai. The reporters continued to turn on the camera flash to be able to photograph the contents in the car.

Nana tried to drive carefully so that the body of the car did not nudge the press was close enough to the main road. He even occasionally had to block his eyes with his hands because of the blinding and eye-piercing camera flash, plus a pretty blistering day he seemed to walk in the tunnel of light.

After successfully escaping from the protesting mob, Nana drove her car quickly so that no journalists could follow them.

.

For a few minutes on the way, there was no talk of the three people filling the car.

Senior seems lazy to talk to Arai and Arai continues to throw his face from Senior, he prefers to look out the car window. While Nana focuses on the steering of cars and the road.

"I'm hungry.." murmured Arai, "Can we buy some food first before we get there? I haven't eaten decent human food in a long time. You know that place like sometimes animals." protested Arai who tried to shake off Senior's patience.

Not wanting to argue much, Senior finally ordered Nana to obey his will.

"Nana, we stopped by for a while at the minimarket before going to the location." Senior ordered, "It looks like the minimarket meal is enough."

Arai was a little disappointed, what he wanted was to be able to eat meat food made at the restaurant.

"Good senior." Nana answered while looking at the two of them from the middle rearview mirror.

Their car will soon cross the red light intersection. Luckily, the initially red traffic lights turned green when their car came. Nana drove her car straight ahead which was the road she was about to walk.

There was a mysterious squealing and impact from the left direction of Nana's car. A black car drove through the red light from the direction of the left road and with high speed sedan car like there was no intention to avoid the car in front of him, driving wild like a bull will hit Nana's car.

And suddenly...

A BAAMM!
