47. Tense Atmosphere in Syifa's Office

“Tak, no, tak.”  The sound of shoes echoed in the dark room.  Apparently, it was the sound of Fog's footsteps wearing pantofel.

“My respectful greetings to Mr. Freeze.”  He said while bowing his body.

An old man, initially hidden from behind a swivel chair, turned his chair 180 degrees, and returned Fog's greeting.

“Oh, you've come apparently, Fog.  What about the results of the investigation of the female police who had interacted with the Red Blood Hero?”

Fog handed the sheets in his hand to the old man, then with a calm mind, he explained the results of his investigation.

“Until now, the identity of the policewoman in question has still not been found.  But we have obtained some meaningful clues.  First, there was a teenager who called him Big Brother at the scene.  However, we cannot yet assume whether the Big Brother's call refers to a sibling or simply a respectful greeting to someone older.”

It was seen the old man flipping through the sheets as Fog continued his explanation.

“Based on the reports, great conjecture that the teenager who came back then was what we know today with Blue Batboy, a fellow Red Blood Hero who was quite annoying.  But unfortunately, because the scene was filled with smoke at that time, there were no witnesses who could remember the teenager's face well, but according to them, his age ranged from 15 – 22 years.”

“Huh, what a useless description.  So, you have the suspect?”  Ask the old man again to Fog.

“Unfortunately, there are 951 policewomen in this city.  Without information about age or other specific traits, it is difficult to identify them.  Moreover, the records regarding their patrol duties on the day of the incident, had vanished due to the virus.  I'm sure it's all the Red Blood Hero.”  Answer Fog.

“Preaaak!”  The old man looked more impatient and then slammed the table.

“Then, put in more effort and immediately find the identity of the damn woman's police!”  Said the old man angry, no, about the old man is just a puppet controlled by Freeze, so in fact Freeze was the one who was angry.

Meanwhile, in Syifa's office.  Syifa increasingly had to be extra careful because the police search related to her is getting more intense by the day.

“Syifa, want to come to lunch with us?”  Ask one of Syifa's fellow police officers to her.  However, it appears that Syifa is daydreaming so as not to give any response to the colleague so that the colleague must surprise Syifa then Syifa realized from her daydream.

“Eh?”

“I told you, come to lunch, no, with us?  Duh, Syifa, lately you are daydreaming a lot.”

“Ah, sorry.  My mind went everywhere.  But I can't seem to join you today.  I should go investigate a case immediately.”

“Duh, you are too hardworking.”

“Ah, sorry.”  With a smile that looks graceful, Syifa apologized and immediately left her office.

It is true that Syifa had an urgent case to investigate.  But from the beginning, he was about to have lunch before continuing to investigate the case.  However, the tense atmosphere in his office gave him inner pressure and could not be longer in his office.

Yes, the entire police force has been implanted with mind control tools by Freeze without exception.  If it is within a certain distance, Freeze can extract information from the target that has been fitted with an ice tool on the nape of their neck without the person can fight or argue.  If anyone denies it, only one means that the person has managed to escape from Freeze's mind control device.

We go back to the first time Syifa came to the secret headquarters of the Red Blood Hero team about 2 months ago.  At that time, Kaiser soon realized that Syifa was in control of something and immediately told AI5203 to investigate.  As expected Kaiser, the tool was found in the nape of Syifa and was immediately destroyed by AI5203.

But this will certainly be a problem.  His identity as a Red Blood Hero partner will certainly be revealed when Freeze finds out that he no longer has the mind control device in his body.  Therefore, Syifa must always be careful not to be at a distance where Freeze can realize the loss of the tool in Syifa's body.

Of course everything is safe as long as Syifa is able to recognize who the face that Freeze mimics is none other than his own deceased biological brother, Faridh.  Unfortunately, AI5203 has given him information that Freeze has the ability to hide behind the shadow of someone who for now is the Central Chief Director at the police agency.  No one would know that he would one day move into someone else's shadow.

Therefore, Syifa should always feel anxious when passing with her colleagues.

In the middle of the large room, the entire room was enlivened by the sound of dangdut-style music.  Jessica, no, Holy who inherited the memory of the legendary dangdut singer Jessica is with fun dancing dance style dangdut enjoy the nuances of the thunderous music.

“Tik.”  Instantly the sound of the music chant stops when the Poison Merchant presses the off button from the music player.

“Duh, early in the morning have heard a noise is not elegant like this.  What the hell are you doing so early in the morning, Holy?”  As soon as he arrived, the Poison Merchant immediately protested to Holy over the noise he judged to be not elegant.

“No noise is not elegant?!  This is dangdut music, you know, Indonesian cultural heritage, Mr. Poison Merchant.  You really do not understand the name of the beauty of cultural art, apparently.”  Holy Protest to the Poison Merchant.

“Sorry about that.  I just love western music.”  Poison Merchant replied firmly.

Seemed on the Holy flat expression he always showed when together with Raging Fire and friends a twitch as if his true nature was about to come out.  But before that happens, though,

“Quiet.  Calm.  Everyone has their own taste.  It is inappropriate for you to mock each other for differences in taste.”  Raging Fire had first picked up the talk in the middle of their mouth fight.

“Ah, Mr. Raging Fire.”  Poison Merchant immediately lowered his head and saluted Raging Fire.

“By the way, what about your circumstances this morning, Sir?  If possible, can I do a quick check-up on your condition?”  Continue Poison Merchant who swiftly animates his work as a doctor.

“Of course.  Do it as usual.  I'm really proud to have such loyal followers as you, the Poison Merchant, and also Holy.”  Raging Fire replied accompanied by a bright smile on her face.

“May you always be blessed with health, our master Raging Fire.”

“May you always be blessed with health, our master Raging Fire.”

Said Holy and Posion Merchant simultaneously while bowing your head to pay respect to Raging Fire.
