Antagonizing
Chapter 3

^^^Tuesday 16 November^^

Rizaldi Setiyawan or familiarly called Mr. Rizal is the head of the Kupang Kota Criminal Investigation Unit.

His name is quite big in the police force, it is because of his dedication and also his proud achievements in the police force.

Many criminal cases have been put on his hands. This time, the thirty-five-year-old man was assigned to handle the murder and disposal of corpses at the University of Nusa Cendana Library.

In the morning at six Rizal was getting ready to carry out his duties.

'Rizal, you will be assigned Kupang City Police. Happy work and fulfill your duty as a policeman'

Sentences from his previous superiors returned to Rizal's memory, his memory returning to the time ten years ago when he was transferred to Kupang City. A place far from his birthplace.

'the city is very safe and peaceful'

The memory was constantly spinning in his head.

'I want you to start living there happily. It was the right city to live a quiet life'

"You are wrong sir, this safe and peaceful city has become the scene of a sadistic murder" Rizal said, staring at a photo of his former superiors always on the wall of his house.

Rizal leaves his home, his goal this morning is to attend Gilda's funeral.

About half an hour drive he arrived at the funeral home, seen already many mourners who came.

Gilda's funeral was attended by hundreds of people, many sympathetic to Gilda's death. Wreaths from various parties adorned the front of the house Gilbran, everyone showed a form of concern for the murder victims.

Important figures, city officials also attended Gilda's Cemetery. Classmates and lecturers from Gilda were also present, they prayed that Gilda could be calm there.

Gilda's death is indeed in the spotlight, because Gilda is a murder victim. With this case also makes people start to find out Gilda's life.

Gilda is a first-semester student at the Faculty of Law, she was born and raised in Kupang. Both of his parents have died. Gilda grew up and was raised by her brother Gilbran. Many feel empathy for the lives of Gilbran and Gilda.

Rizal looked at Gilbran who looked so sad since Gilda's departure. There was also a hint of regret on Gilbran's face as if blaming herself.

"I'm so sorry for your sister's death" Rizal said.

Gilbran turned his gaze towards Rizal.

"Good morning sir, thank you for coming" said Gilbran tried to be polite, although on his face was still wrapped in sadness.

"I'm sorry" said Rizal.

Gilbran nodded "I'm glad Mr. Rizal came here, there's something I have to talk about the suspect"

Rizal and Gilbran slightly dismissed from the crowd "I have remembered the culprit, I did not know this would help but it is not wrong my statement was used by the police"

"She is a woman with a high posture, about 170 cm. The perpetrator had a slender body" Gilbran said, then he pulled out a paper containing a sketch of the person who caused him harm "this is the sketch"

"Are you sure?" Gilbran.

Rizal seemed to think, the person who described Gilbran has a thin body but high. The body belongs to a woman.

But if Gilbran's testimony is true, how the doer who was a woman could lift up Gilda's body which was even bigger than the doer. Gilda has a body that contains about 70-75 kg.

If the perpetrator drags Gilda make sure there is a trace of friction in Gilda's clothes found in the CTKP this also proves that Gilda was lifted.

"How can a doer with such a small body lift Gilda?"

"That's also what I asked but I have found the answer, which is that the perpetrator mastered one of the branches of martial arts that can make it strong" said Gilbran.

"Yes"

"If it's really a woman, then the world is really crazy. Women who are considered weak can do this kind of heartless thing" said Rizal.

"And about the footage I'll take you straight to the police station. Origin on one condition"

Rizal furrowed his eyebrows "condition?"

"I want to go into the investigation"

"Can't" Rizal immediately rejected it.

"Why did you reject it straight away, Mr. Rizal" a middle-aged man suddenly approached.

Rizal was quite surprised by the presence of the man "you must have known anyone" said the man in his fifties.

"Which city does not recognize you, mr. mayor" said Rizal.

The man laughed "Don't call me that. I'm here as Uncle Gilbran"

"What do you want from me, Ben?" Ask Rizal.

"I'm including my nephew in the investigation, he's a witness who has met with the perpetrator" said Mr. Ben.

Rizal looked at Gilbran "Alright sir. I'm waiting for Gilbran's arrival at the police station, tomorrow" Rizal immediately left the funeral home just like that.

In his heart Rizal was very angry at himself because again and again he had to submit to the people who were above him.

Now left Gilbran and Ben sir "shouldn't threaten uncle, I can take care of it myself"

"I've always let you go and in the end you make Gilda die" Ben said and left Gilbran.

...

Rizal has now reached the police station he went straight to the room and stayed there. He was thinking something.

"Serena!" Rizal called someone.

Not long after, a woman dressed as a police officer approached Rizal "what's the matter, sir?"

"Before I told you to find out about the victim's family?!" Serena nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me the victim was the mayor's nephew?" From his tone of speech, Rizal sounded angry.

"Sorry sir" Serena can only apologize.

"You heard, this case we're dealing with is a big case, so prepare yourself. Don't be careless!" Said Rizal and let Serena go.

Rizal again struggled with his thoughts, the murder case that claimed Gilda's life made Rizal overwhelmed.

"What's the point?" Rizal Gumam.

"It's a senseless murder" Rizal closed the file on Gilda's case, which he had read, and then walked out of her room.

Rizal went to meet his subordinates "all gathered in the meeting room!"

Seriate...
