Toyo City

The Apartment

It's been a month now since John Goro busted that robot at the bar, he is sleeping in his office and it's the afternoon. His hat is just on his face by this point... Then he got a call, it kept ringing till it woke him up, he groggily grabs the phone and answers as his hat fell to the floor, "Y...Yeah I'm here, at the pink district? You know I'm not into- oh for a case. Alright I'll come over" He said as he yawns and hangs up the phone. He stood up and got ready, putting on his coat and hat. Then he grabs his revolver, it was a big black steel one that cops used to use in Chicago in 1920's.

He goes out the door onto the streets, someone stabbed his tires... "guess I can walk..." He said calmly as he simply starts walking to the pink district, it's a place known for sex and pornographic drug use like pink gas. John wishes to himself for a drink but know he couldn't get one as soon as he woke up, yet his throat felt so dry.

"YO PIG FUCKER!" Someone yelled from behind him, he slowly turns around to see two gangsters, they had bright colored hair and were both Asian. These two skinny pricks were members of the Cash Dragon gang ran by Shin Kuto a heavy weight killer who came from hitman to gang leader, the two Asian twinks come closer and closer with their hands on their hips, "yeah what is it? I'm sorta in a rush here" He says calmly while looking at the two, he is honestly hoping they try something... these two wore neon clothes and had masks on their faces, half masks that cover the mouths, like a Japanese type style. The two eye the gun on Detective Johns hip, they giggle like hyenas by simply looking at it "Hay old man, you seriously lugging around that relic on ya hip?" One of them says as they pull up their shirt showing their fair yet obviously fake skin, he shows a 2036 glockenspiel, it looks like your average glock but uses plasma cartridges so it basicly shoots lazers, the gun was in his waist band just above the croch. "so why don't you hand over that pea shooter old man? And no one gets-" before he could completed his sentence John grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger, the Asian gangster looks down shaking in shock before screaming has blood leaks from his crotch, his cock has been basicly shot off. The other gangster trys to reach for his gun but John quickly with a swift kick between his legs, he made a high pitch sqee like sound and whennhe kneels over our detective grabs him by the hair and knees his face breaking nose nose... the two sre on the ground bleeding and John walks off proudly.

After 10 or so minutes he arrives on scene and walks inside, flashing his badge three times and was getting annoyed till he got to the fourth floor, he walked down the velvet halls and saw the body and some cops. "Detective John Goro, what happened and were there any witnesses" He said calmly while approaching, he flashed his badge and had a twitch in his eye. He saw that fresh meat Mexican cop again Robert Gemo. "o-oh m-mister John!" He said surprised, he then spike quickly "u-um yes sir just 2 the owner and his neighbor, a... Sarra Nyako" Gemo said as he checks his notepad. "She is room 13G right there" He continued and John could see the apartment.

John walks past him and crouches next to the body "what did the owner see?" He said in his usual bored tone, "he said he heard a gun shot and came up and saw the body, nothing else. I'll be down the hall looking for anything sir" He said as he walks away... John looks closely at the corpse, possibly dead for 20 minutes, cause of death was a bullet straight to the head, yet... his face was smiling, happy. He had brown hair and a suit and tie of a corpo businessman and his skin looks like it was made of copper or bronze, from what he can guess the shot came from inside the apartment and the killer must have been either someone he knew... or a hitman who waited inside and fled somehow.

The shot must have been a low caliber, since there is no exit wound and most likely the bullet is inside of his head still, he stood up and looks at the whole body, most likely he worked for Astafo Corp, a corporation that you basicly sell your soul to, they make you get a cybernetic to display your rank and since he is bronze or copper he is a vary low rank, he walks to the room 13G and knocks on the door, he heard something of a voice, after a moment the door opens and a Catgirl with fluffy long and somewhat wild cotton candy color hair opens the door, her breasts were as big as her whole torso, so big it surprised even John. He shrugged it off however and assumed she was a sex worker, she was quite pretty though and she didn't seem to have any cybernetics even for the ears and tail.

"Excuse me Miss but do you mind recounting what you saw?" John asked politely she was tall too around 6'5 in height. "Yes well, I was relaxing in my room and um... I didn't see anything just heard, I was near the air conditioner and heard my neighbor walking down the hall... and I heard something of a clicking noise with... hissing? I dont know if that's important but I heard the gunshot and called the cops... I never thought he would get shot, he was so nice but always had a sad look." She accounted what happened and John believes her with only some small doubt, he thanks her and goes into the victims apartment, cops are dusting for prints... and he even sees that they found some helium, the place was sorta a dump but there were some higher then normal safety products, sensors that scan the room and even window Lazer security systems yet the window was opened without a hint of alarm... this was getting stranger by the moment and this could be the work of a real professional from Japan, he turns and walks to the door, there was no cameras so he can't rely on something so handy. "Strange..." John said hmunder his breath as he checks the door, there was a piece of string that was cut, like fishing wire and the door opens to the hall.

"Hay Detective, we found a bullet casing near the window, it's a low caliber probably used on the victom" this was just one of those average rank and file cops... but know John has a idea of what happened here, and the killer is also still here, John spoke up "Listen all of you..." He said and once he spoke those words everyone sorta but not completely quieted down. "The killer is still here in the building, infact he is one of us" the other cops looked around at each other, a traitor? A mole?

He swung around and pointed straight to the dead body "the killer is him, the victim... he committed a bizarre suicide using a hand made gun, helium and string as well as some metal parts, the windows would have detected anyone who would have opened the windows, so would have the sensors, therefore a killer would have attacked him from outside-" Suddenly one of the officers spoke up, her name was Jill a female officer "now that's bullshit and you know it!" And before she could say more John spoke louder then her "shut up! This is simple to tell from evidence, the neighbor even said he looked sad, and the Corp he worked for may have caused him to break down, otherwise why would he be so happy?"

The other cops were speechless... this was the most stupid suicide they have ever seen... yet it sorta makes sense, why would he have helium? The Detective goes over and holds the string from the door handle "look, this is clearly the firing mechanism, once he opens the door to the hall the string would have snapped. Then some wild machismo would have fired the gun immediately while the helium was used to fill capsules in the device, which causes it to fly away from the window. It's stupid I know but the neighbor also heard hissing and clicking noises, nearly no guns hiss now do they?"

The cops sorta had to agree even if it was profound, suddenly walks out the door shouting "I'm going to wet my whistle, call me if anything turns up" He souned bored and annoyed at everything here.

Later the cops found the murder weapon and said device, it landed and fell through a shop keepers roof. The case was dismissed as a vary bizzare suicide.
