Death Distance
Agus and the serious crime team are already discussing and gathering some new evidence of serial murders. It turns out that Alex's order to investigate the Bali Tropical restaurant, was enough to help the investigation progress.
First Bima managed to compile and collect civil records and personal information about Nana. One thing that surprised them was that the woman had undergone psychiatric treatment in America.
There are many reports that Nana often shows aggressive behavior and endangers people around. But strangely, after returning to Indonesia he was even believed to establish a restaurant in Jakarta.
Radit explained his latest findings, he managed to interview three restaurant staff who had worked with Firman. According to them, if the restaurant owner looks very attentive to the Word, which in fact is only a cleaning service.
Even strangely, Nana pointed to Firman as the person responsible for doing charity. According to them such activities are not worth given by someone who only graduated from Junior High.
Karina added further, if the charity is done every 3 months. Where the activity focuses on the improvement of nutrition of lower class people around Jakarta.
The charity event invited the attention of many people. So every time a charity event is held, it is no wonder there are so many homeless people, buskers, unemployed, overseas people who hunt free basic food.
Unfortunately, the charity can only run for one year. Firman resigned from the restaurant and spent time as a heavyweight unemployed. That's the point where the first murder took place, after the Word underwent many life changes.
It's very clear that there's a new puzzle that Alex is focusing on. What happened to the Word? why should he stop working at a Bali Tropical restaurant?
Of course Alex is very curious, what is the real purpose of Nana holding the charity. A new restaurant that is still a corn, dare to make charity with no small cost.
But why after the restaurant grew up and had many branches, even closed the charity. All of that is too awkward and not common in the business world.
Finally, Agus finally ventured and frankly to all colleagues in the team. He explained how the chronology of the butterfly necklace could be made. Of course he alluded to the butterfly painting painted by Nana, the founder of the restaurant.
Although they have received some clues, but unfortunately all of them have not been able to make strong evidence. They still consider it just a coincidence, not directly related to murder.
There is no proof that Nana killed the Word. So the police certainly can't drag Nana any further. But Alex was not disappointed, he was sure he would find more clues about the woman.
"Good work everyone, it really helps us to narrow down the alleged perpetrator. But our journey is still far away, all the information we have collected is still raw" Alex said with an optimistic face.
"I will investigate whether the other eight victims ever attended the charity event" Radit said.
"Good! That makes a lot of sense. Radit, you have to get the data of the beneficiaries from the charity event. You have to make sure the other eight victims are on the beneficiary's list."
"That's not enough, you have to get a photo documentation of the activity" Agus commented.
"All right."
"Ahhh. It seems like I should come to contract the Word while he is unemployed. I have to ask a lot of things to the surrounding residents who live in the slums" said Karina.
"Go Karina, get it over with as soon as possible!"
"I'll go first boss. I will remain focused on finding the information of the restaurant owner, it still does not feel satisfied" Bima said with laughter.
After the three people dispersed and came out from inside the meeting room. Alex then told Agus to talk to him again with four eyes. I don't know, it's become a new habit for Alex to give the new kid a special mission.
They sit back in the meeting chair. Face each other and change full view seriously. Especially Alex, he continued to think about how Agus felt when his neighbor continued to be in the spotlight.
"You better not sleep in the office anymore. Go home, accompany your old mother" said Alex.
"Is it because he's a close neighbor, I have to keep an eye on him?"
"Not only that. If only you let your guard down, your mother could be in danger of Gus. We don't know who he is and what his next plan is."
"Is the boss sure that Nana is a dangerous woman?"
"Let's know, it's just that this hunch is always bad. This time you should listen to me. Don't be so stubborn!!" alex's orders weren't messing around.
Agus certainly can not argue anymore, he is eager to keep away the prejudice against Nana. But no matter how hard he fought back, there were too many unintentional links from the woman.
He did not want to harm his mother. But keeping Surti's mother with Nana is very difficult, they are already close to each other. Telling Nana that Nana is a police target though, Surti's mother won't believe her.
It turns out that he realized, not only Farel was successfully controlled by a plain woman like Nana. Her mother herself became a very easy target Nana conquered. These two men were siding with the wrong woman.
"Siska's death case has passed a week, I'm afraid there will be another murder."
"Will there be a victim with number 10 again?" ask Agus worriedly.
"I don't want to look at that line of numbers anymore, we have to prevent that killing from happening. It is difficult to determine when the assassination plan will be carried out, because the distance of death of each victim is not the same."
"But seeing him getting bolder in his actions, I firmly believe that the desire to kill is getting wild. Such a crazy killer could not help it, like a drug addict who continued to feel sad," Agus explained.
"To keep watch, you'd better go home. Take care of your mother and keep an eye on Nana's every move. Report anything that happens to me if you see anything suspicious, okay?"
"understand!! I haven't even been able to sleep well lately because I keep thinking about this case."
Agus decided to go home. For him the decision is indeed very necessary, considering if his close neighbors are not careless people.
A middle-aged man appears and breaks into Mother Surti's house. For no definite reason, he suddenly broke apart all the contents of the house. The man with a creepy face is Jono, the younger brother of Surti's mother.
He was doing anarchism and commotion in the house, of course inviting the attention of Nana from the side of the house. He deftly barged in and saw the contents of the house was already in a mess.
While Mother Surti could only cry resignedly, she sat down on her face in the corner of the kitchen. There was no resistance from the old lady. Soon Nana approached Mother Surti and hugged her very tightly.
"Surti, where do you keep all that money!!!" yelled Jono harshly.
"What savings, mba has nothing."
"Alaaaah... lie to you!! Your son is a cop, you don't have a penny!!"
"It's Jono, don't you bother your nephew anymore. Let him work quietly!!"
Hearing the obedience of his own brother, even makes Jono's anger more uncontrollable. Now he broke down the door of Agus' room and broke everything. He kept looking for something valuable inside this house.
Nana could not bear to see Jono's unworthy behavior. He took off the hug and walked towards the direction of Agus' room. He saw that the man had already managed to take some of Agus's valuables, such as cash and jewelry.
Jono looks more happy because he has got what he wants. He put it all in his back pocket. As she was about to get out, Nana bravely confronted Jono from the doorstep.
"Return it" Nana ordered.
"What?" Jono laughed at the skinny woman's bravery.
"It's not your right to take away all of Surti's property."
"And it's none of your business!" jono reply riled.
"Once again I warn you, give back everything you have stolen. You trash man!"
Jono instead slapped Nana violently, he could not stand the babble of the foreign woman. While Nana remained in a calm face and was not afraid at all. She laughed sinisterly while holding her red cheeks.
"Aahhh. Poor man," said Nana happily.
Jono is getting weird seeing the response of the foreign woman. Because it was the first time he faced a fragile woman who was undaunted against a big man like himself. Not wanting to make things worse, Jono prefers to hit Nana and run away.
From behind Mother Surti walked up to Nana, she told the woman to sit quietly. After they sat on the sofa, then Mother Surti gave Nana a glass of water.
"Drink son, I'm sorry you got dragged into the family problems of your own mother," said Mother Surti sad.
"Why mom, you're okay, right? who was that arrogant guy?"
"He's mom's real sister. Now his life is ruined because of frequent gambling online. Especially after divorced wife and separated from her three children, she was often drunk and angry like that."
Broken already crying Mother Surti lamented the fate of her biological sister is very sad. He didn't even remember how ruthless Jono was at seizing valuables. He with kindness even worried about the fate of the ungodly sister.
Shortly after, Agus came with a face full of surprise. He gawked to watch the contents of his house ravaged like an earthquake. But he was even more surprised when he saw Nana was embracing her own mother.
He just threw Nana's hand away. A feeling of dislike began to crawl her heart, she did not want to see Nana approaching her mother anymore. Nana could only resign, she knew what Agus had been thinking all along.
"Jono son, your uncle is coming again!"
"What!!" agus shouted in shock not playing.
He rushed straight to his own room and found that the money and jewelry he had deliberately kept were gone. He was certain that his own uncle was the mastermind of this mess. Of course Agus was angry and disappointed, he did not expect that Jono would do such a bad thing.
Agus immediately let his mother into the room, he wanted to take his mother to rest. After Surti's mother slept on the bed, she came back crying. He felt sorry for his own brother's fate.
"I'm sorry son, your late father's jewelry is missing. Though you take care of it all," said Ms. Surti lirih.
"Mommy, don't think much more. Now I just rest. I will be sick again" replied Agus.
After successfully making his mother calm, Agus let out of the room. Actually, he hasn't finished his business with Nana. Seeing the woman still sitting in the middle of the house, made him very upset.
He pulled Nana's hand forcefully and dragged her out of the house. Agus really has lost his patience as a good neighbor. This time he had to be honest.
"I beg you, don't go near me. Don't interfere in all our family affairs anymore."
"I can't, your mother could be in danger again. The evil man can enter at any time" Nana protested loudly.
"I am his son, I will take care of my mother!!"
Agus closed the door. He really did not give the slightest gap to Nana.
