Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
So, I went to Umeda for lunch and drinks today with a few coworkers. Everything was totally normal, nothing special. It was a nice day, I strolled over. I ended up getting a few more drinks than expected, and got back to my neighborhood around 9.
On my way up the stairs, I noticed cop cars parked on the sidewalk. I thought that was odd, but it's usually just some dude drunk on the sidewalk that they're trying to haul to a taxi (this is suburban Japan, after all, not NYC). When I got to the top of the stairs, my next door neighbor's (a quiet timid japanese guy I only see a few times a month) apartment was flung open, and police officers with rubber gloves were swarming in and out. I had to get past them to get to my apartment, so I said excuse me, and they quickly parted to let me past.
I couldn't see inside the apt as I went by, but it definitely looked suspect. Something was up.
About 15 minutes ago (3 hours have passed), I was playing some PS3, and I saw flashes outside my window. At first, I thought it was lightning, but realized the flashes were REALLY bright. I realized that the flashes were coming from cameras from the apartment the cops had been swarming. I was surprised, so I peaked my head out quickly, and noticed that now twice as many officers were at the door of the apartment, including some plain clothes, who could or could not be detectives.
I never really knew the guy, but I sure hope nothing happened to him. I only ever said hello or good evening to him, but he seemed okay enough.
I can't see inside the apartment. There are just too many cops around. This is really freaking me out. I don't think I even want to find out what happened. I'll just watch the news tomorrow...
