31 Days
Arrests

...Go to come back...

...**************...

After getting the official letter of the police call, Nana and Farel left early in the morning for Bareskrim's office. Despite only calling witnesses, Farel was very agitated and too scared. He was afraid that his wife would not be able to adapt in the pressure-filled interrogation room.

Arriving at the Bareskrim parking lot, Farel and Nana fell silent for a moment. They are not ready to step outside. Farel suddenly clasped his wife's palm tightly, looking into her eyes so warmly.

"Are you sure you have to go in there?"

"Just calm down, Rail, I must carry out my duties as a law-abiding society."

"Part of why the hell they keep harassing your past" Farel protested annoyed.

"I'm not alone this time, there's a lawyer who's going to stand by me. So don't worry too much."

Nana let go of the grasp, she drew a beautiful smile for the husband. Farel began to feel calm, his wife's face was not even anxious in the slightest. She had to trust Nana no matter what, she would still side with him no matter what.

Nana got out of the car confidently. After entering the main lobby, he saw his lawyer was ready to accompany him. The lawyer, named Stevan, has long worked for Handono's extended family.

Nana's eyes accidentally caught Sugeng's body from behind, it turns out that he had first entered the witness room. Unfortunately the man was not accompanied by a lawyer, but for Nana it was a very great courage.

Nana and Stevan again walk together towards the witness summoning room. There's already two cops waiting, Alex and Karina. The two of them will intervene to take care of this unusual witness.

At exactly 09:00 a.m., both witnesses entered their respective rooms. They are deliberately put into a separate room to avoid unexpected things. Alex and Karina will take care of Nana. While Bima and Radit will take care of Sugeng.

The first situation will illustrate how Nana's testimony responds. He and the lawyer have now been confronted by two police, of course it does not make Nana afraid in the slightest.

Alex was at the heart of the matter at this meeting. He divulged valid data, if to as many as the serial victim had been a member of a charity event. Of course the charity event was on the initiative of Nana as the owner of a Bali Tropical restaurant.

Alex emphasized further, if Sugeng is one of the activities. Even he was active for a year and had a fight with the Word. Since then Firman decided to quit his job and the charity event was forced to be stopped permanently.

That's what made the police want to hear the clarification from the restaurant owner directly. Among them the motive of Nana held a charity event and why there were 10 names of victims who could be members of the event.

Hope Nana who will directly answer the question. Stevan's the one who took over all his client's business. As a lawyer, he said the charity event was purely an act and social responsibility of the restaurant owner. No other motive can undermine the moral worth of the charity.

Furthermore, Stevan explained that at that time his client pointed to the Word as the responsibility of activities, because of the pure ability of the Word. No one is better at achieving access to information from the bottom except the Word itself. The cleaning service officer is very able to embrace all underground people in Jakarta.

Their problem is the majority of ex-convicts and often commit crimes. That's not part of the responsibility of the restaurant owner at all. Nana just wants to share free groceries, no evil intentions whatsoever.

The 10 names of the serial victims who happened to have been active in the charity, were once again outside the restrictions of the restaurant owner. Whether it was a coincidence or an accident, Nana refused to be associated as the person responsible for their death.

Lastly, the problem of Sugeng the Taxi driver. Stevan claims that his client never knew him at all. Although Sugeng accidentally became a taxi driver while driving him to the hospital, it was not planned at all. Everything was just a coincidence that he could not avoid as a human.

Alex and Karina are certainly disappointed with all the answers from the witness lawyer. All the answers are certainly very strengthening himself, if Nana has nothing to do with serial murder cases. Alex walked out of the room, he walked into another room and sat down while calming down.

Karina immediately caught up with her boss, she sat down next to him. He asked the boss, if all the police questions had been answered properly and could not be denied. But Alex stayed in his position, he wanted to keep the woman locked up for longer.

He would ask many more things, including the possession of a butterfly necklace and a distinctive mint perfume. He was very sure if it was only known by the perpetrator.

Meanwhile.....

The second situation, will illustrate how the answer of Sugeng's testimony. The man with full gray hair on his head, so very calm faced two young and fresh policemen. Bima and Radit were already in front of the witness with a pile of documents on the table.

The purpose of concentrating a lot of documents, nothing else to disturb the concentration of witnesses and psychological diversion during the interview. But it did not fade Sugeng's determination, even he had prepared everything well.

Bima's question certainly focuses on Sugeng's involvement in charity work 8 years ago. He wanted to ask if Sugeng's motive and purpose was to enter the community. Second, what is the relationship between Sugeng and the Word actually, until they have had a great fight.

Third, Sugeng had to explain if he knew the restaurant owner any further. Even then it could be the taxi driver who drove Nana to the hospital.

Sugeng took a deep breath, smiled widely and began to answer one by one the police questions very calmly. There was not the slightest fear in the look of his already wrinkled face.

He explained that at that time he was forced to leave work as a factory worker, because the health of his son was getting worse. To meet his daily life, he relies on savings and finding junk to sell to the city.

Hear there is a free souvenir sharing event. Of course Sugeng is very interested because he sees the economic condition that is down. There is no purpose other than wanting to save money on basic needs expenditure, he explained.

As for him once having a great fight with the Word, it was all just a matter of misunderstanding. Sugeng said that the fight had been peaceful and forgot each other. He never even contacted or met the Word again after the incident.

Lastly, regarding the relationship with the restaurant owner. Sugeng instead laughed cynically, where maybe a poor man like himself could establish a relationship with a rich young woman. He doesn't know who Nana is and doesn't know anything about the restaurant owner.

Regarding he had been a taxi driver when delivering Nana to the hospital, Sugeng argued that the world was getting narrower. Then it is the human mind that must be expanded, he said.

"Where do you know, what happened to that man exactly?" sugeng asked back, his face continued to smile thinly.

"He's d!kill very cruelly, head h@scur because of blunt object attack. He was the first victim of a serial murder that is now going viral."

"What's? sure am!!" Ahhh. so you called me here just because of the man's death" Sugeng replied pretending to be surprised.

Radit then put 9 photos of the other victims in front of Sugeng. The old man stared at all the faces in the photo with a flat expression.

"Who are they? I don't know him."

"They are the next victims, these nine photos were included in the list of recipients of charity assistance 8 years ago. Please remember well, surely you have seen or just greeted one of them too right?" sidak Bima continuously.

Sugeng could only shake his head, he repeatedly sang the two detectives if he did not know them. Especially when the participants of charity activities are very much attended by people. Maybe he could get to know everyone easily.

"I explained that you don't know anything. I was busy with a very sick child. If you can, just let the father go home, your son is waiting in the hospital," explained Sugeng with a tired face.

Bima already has no reason to be able to hold Sugeng, especially he is only a witness, not a police prisoner. This time they did not get anything, Sugeng confidently denied all involvement with the serial case.

***********

At around 03:00 p.m., the four detectives again consulted the results of interviews with witnesses. Both Nana and Sugeng both compactly refuse to be associated with serial murders.

They also say that they do not know each other. There is no special bond between the two of them, all just accidental coincidences if they are found in a taxi.

Alex was even on the edge, cornering Nana with a butterfly necklace and a mint perfume was futile. The woman reasoned, if the butterfly painting she had ever made came from a picture she had seen.

But when asked where the source of the picture was, he casually replied that the woman had forgotten. The problem of mint perfume alone Nana argues, if the perfume is widely purchased by the rich in Indonesia. Not a special perfume or custom in person.

So far they have tried, there are still many gaps that can still be debated. They should have found irrefutable evidence, which left the two witnesses undisturbed.

Suddenly Agus called Alex's number, he received the call with a bit of surprise. When they started talking seriously, Alex realized that his former subordinates had found something big.

Agus tells his boss to hold Nana as much as possible in the witness room. If the woman is released, then Nana could have done something even more evil.

Agus tells his boss to hand over the latest evidence to the head of Bareskrim's criminal division, to make an arrest warrant for Nana. Because with the evidence from the forensic lab, it's enough to prove that the woman is a serial killer.

After the examination file from the forensic lab has been sent via email. Alex rushes straight to the headroom of the criminal division, which houses all the crime units. Alex is very confident, with new evidence that is very accurate will lead witnesses to be suspects.

**********

A day of waiting and struggling with many police questions, Nana wants to end this meeting immediately. Nana forced her lawyer to immediately take her out of this place. Because from earlier they just sat indistinctly for hours.

After much negotiation with the police, Stevan finally chose to leave the room. Nana and Stevan walk towards the main lobby and immediately look for the exit.

But Nana accidentally crosses paths with Sugeng who just came out of the men's toilet. They passed each other like they did not know each other, there was no eye contact or suspicious movements.

After making it past Sugeng, he was suddenly summoned by many policemen from behind. When he turned around, it turned out that a serious crime team had run over to him. Their faces looked very tired and frustrated, but a small smile adorned the corners of their lips.

"Wait, don't go as you please" Alex said with disordered breathing.

"What else is this? explain that my client has answered all police questions very well and openly" Stevan protested.

Alex then opened a piece of paper for an official arrest warrant from the police. From the letter it is written that the reason Nana can be a suspect and make an arrest.

Stevan read it with a surprised face instead of playing. The lawyer did not expect that there was DNA and fingerprints Nana left in one of the victim's belongings.

Nana did not budge at all, the woman did not look afraid or against herself. He even willingly extended both of his arms to be handcuffed.

Alex laughed cynically at Nana's crazy demeanor, only this time she faced a woman who was extremely cold and heartless of any kind. While Sugeng who was forced to see the arrest, chose silence and did not defend Nana in the slightest.

With confidence and a high level of satisfaction, Alex took out a pair of handcuffs from the back pocket of his pants. He then put the handcuffs on Nana's hands while saying Miranda's rights.

" Sister Diana Larasati Handono, you were arrested as a suspect in the murder of Ms. Surti and proven to have committed the crime because your DNA and fingerprints were on the gloves belonging to the victim.

You have the right to be silent. Whatever you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to speak to legal counsel and be attended to by legal counsel during interrogation. If you can not afford to hire legal counsel, then one will be provided to you that is borne by the Government," Alex said at length.

After Miranda's right was pronounced and Nana's handcuffed. All the police again led Nana into the interrogation room with a new status as a suspect. When they pass Sugeng alone, then the two people throw each other a small glance.

Not only a small view, Nana and Sugeng turned out to be compact with a thin smile. They did not look at all surprised or panicked, which was like the face of satisfaction they had planned.
