Death Slice
Chapters 16. Is this the end of everything?

It was seen that several police officers were on duty to check the TKP on the second floor of Sava Corp. Inside Devan's room was a body lying down.

The body is the body of Luna's private secretary from Devan. Seen the condition of the corpse of Luna is quite terrible. Where there were marks on his neck, and there were some bruises on his thighs and face.

The people there were shocked by the incident. They did not expect there to be a murder in the office that killed Luna.

Moments later, Luna's body has been secured and will be immediately below for an autopsy. It was seen that Tarisa and Pawang came in a hurry after hearing the shocking news.

While at the makou police station, this news has reached the ears of detectives Vio and Ical. They were more shocked because the murder happened right where Tarisa was. They had also not had time to meet him due to Tarisa who did not want to meet the two of them.

News of Luna's death has spread very quickly through the mouth and the internet. Television broadcasts aired the news and discussed it. This news had even reached the ears of the people who were outside the makou city.

Luna's death caused a stir, because all the people of makou town have been grateful that serial murders no longer occur after her last victim.

But they all returned to fear after hearing the death of Luna secretary from Devan son of a famous company owner who is quite famous and successful in this city.

********

Tarisa asks Pawang to contact Devan who since yesterday is difficult to contact. Pawang immediately contacted his brother up to several times. But Devan did not answer the call from Pawang at all.

Tarisa looks increasingly anxious and afraid of things that he does not want to happen. He clasped his hands and stomped his feet on the floor as an outlet of his anger and resentment.

"Ma... Devan didn't pick up the phone"

"Where's the kid!?, Now there's a murder here but he's just running around indistinctly" Tarisa held her waist and sighed.

Before long they were both approached by several journalists with cameras and other equipment. The reporter raised many questions about the events and death of Luna to the two of them.

But Tarisa deliberately avoided the journalist. He asked Pawang to expel the journalist immediately.

Pawang also did his mother's orders, He asked them very strongly not to spread the news.

Detectives Vio and Ical face the police chief. They asked to be directly involved with the Luna murder case. Because they strongly suspect that the perpetrator who killed Luna is a masked killer.

Detective Vio explained, "It's possible that this is one of the vile games of the masked killer sir" he said very strongly to Mr. Darman.

But regardless, Detective Vio explains everything to Mr. Darman everything will remain the same.

"I can't entrust this case to you two. And one more, actually... I've decided this and just waited for the right time to tell you. About the masked killer... I don't think you're up to it" Mr. Darman walked slowly towards the two of them and turned around.

Detectives Vio and Ical were immediately alarmed to hear what the police chief said. They close their eyes and prepare to hear everything that comes out of Mr. Darman's mouth.

"Better you guys stop in this case. And never handle a big case again. Before you babble and protest, I'll tell you all the wrongs of the two of you. Vio... You're a very smart and professional cop and detective, and I trust you very much. But... On your fatigue in carrying out tasks that are not completed in the specified time, then my trust immediately disappeared from you with a moment"

Detective Vio who heard it, Just lowered his head and closed his eyes while clasping his hands strengthened his mentality and body.

"And you... Icals. You're a cop. A policeman must be smart in everything, not just good at eating. And a cop isn't a coward like you who's just a burden in whatever case you're in. So I don't expect anything from you at all"

Ical only resigned and gulped after hearing the harsh reality. Detective Vio turned to her and gave the code to the headband accompanied by a smile, which means that everything he heard, it was all wrong. According to Vio, Ical is not at all a burden. He is the most reliable and loyal coworker who accompanies him no matter what. Detective Ical could only be moved to hear all that.

After Mr. Darman spoke to them, Detective Vio turned around and walked towards him. He apologized to Mr. Darman for the mistakes they both made during the task.

Detective Vio requests and pleads that they not be dismissed in the case of the masked killer. Ical means small and raises his hand to beg Mr. Darman for the sake of his colleague who has promised to catch the culprit with his own hands.

But Mr. Darman's decision has been unanimous and will still pay attention to them both. Mr. Darman explained that their replacement will arrive tomorrow in the city of makou.

"He will replace those of you who are not. Police from Jakarta who will arrive tomorrow at makou city airport. If you want to welcome him, please... I'm allowing it so much"

After that Mr. Darman left his room leaving the two of them who still do not believe something like this happened to them, especially for detective Vio.

The silence of Mr. Darman's room was felt when Vio and Ical stood silent in the room with the grasp of their hands trying to endure shame and sadness.
