EIGHT TARGETS
126. What happened to Agni?

“Marjono?  Who's that?”  Captain Maya is increasingly unable to hold back her curiosity once she hears Kaiser expressing his suspicions against the real figure of the black joker serial killer.

“Based on Agni's investigation, she is one of Dirga's men who is very close to her.”  Kaiser.

“So you think all these murders were masterminded by Dirga?”

“It is not so, Sister Maya.  Actually recently, I met Dirga by accident.  But apparently, he did deliberately meet me by going to a place I used to visit at the Traditional Shopping Center of Tanah Adik.  Then, one I realized.”

“What is it?”

“Dirga is very different from her usual self.  He who is usually grumpy and likes to beat people, suddenly be friendly.”

“Isn't that a good thing if he turns into a better person.”.

“Not that the problem!”  Before Captain Maya was able to finish her comment, Kaiser immediately raised his voice to cut her off, intending to finish his delayed remark.

“He became like everyone else.  After all, from the beginning, he was close to an underprivileged orphan who had always seen his gang as despicable was an absurdity.  If from the beginning he was like that, then the bullying of Dios would absolutely never happen.”  At the end of his sentence, Kaiser lowered his tone with a sad expression on his face.

“Adik means that this was all masterminded by Marjono's?”

“I'm sure this all has something to do with that guy.  And somehow he hypnotized Dirga in order to get close to him which automatically made the other royal friends Dirga was within his reach.  If you think it is not too strange that the perpetrator seems very familiar with the victims.  If he is someone close to them like Marjono, it becomes possible.”

“So Adik concluded that the change in attitude of the person called Dirga was because he was under the control of hypnotist Marjono and Marjono this is the black joker serial killer who uses Dirga to attract information about his potential victims?”

Kaiser only nodded with a serious expression on his face at Captain Maya's words of omen agreeing.

“Lantas what is the motive of doing all that?  Is it true because of the deafening of Dios as many have assumed?”

Kaiser shook his head at Captain Maya's question.

“Sorry Sister Maya.  I don't know myself.  After all, this is only my speculation from the pieces of information I have collected.”

“Marjono, Marjono, Hmm?  Who else is that?  Though I'm sure there's nothing left of me from the investigation of the black joker serial killer.  But how do I think I just heard this name?”  Dono also expressed his confusion.

“She Jey, bartender at the Love Club.”  Bianca then goes into their chat after stealing to hear what they are talking about.

[Jey, Jeynal..Kak Jeynal?]  Upon hearing the name, Kaiser muttered inwardly as if recalling a very important memory.

Meanwhile, as Bianca spoke the sentence, she looked at Dono with a murderous look.

“Hey, you!  You know what you've done?!  Why are you leaking the results of our investigation to irrelevant people?!”  Bianca whispered to Dono in an angry tone.

“Well, how could I say no to Captain Maya?  He is our former senior who was once very meritorious in the division of handling heavy crime.”  Dono whispered, replying to Bianca's comments.

“Padahan nearby there is also an ordinary High School boy?”

“Yeah, what can be done.  The groove is like that.”

Hearing Dono's reply, Bianca could only sigh.  He looked at his senior, Captain Maya.

“Sorry Senior.  Not that I'm being disrespectful.  But I still can't accept the head office's decision on the takeover of this case without informing us in advance.”  Bianca to Captain Maya.

Captain Maya also looked at Bianca with a very demeaning look.  He then answered,

“What can your division do in this kind of situation?  If the serial killer wants to, you can he publicly slaughtered.  Didn't events just make you realize how weak you are in the face of a power beyond the limits of human imagination?”

“What does it mean?”  Bianca was somewhat astonished by Captain Maya's remarks.

However, Dono immediately brokered their conversation.

“What do you mean, Officer Dono?!”  Hearing Dono, his co-division, who instead of defending him, instead looked face to face the captain in the other division, he was unable to hide his anger.

“Already.  Let this be the business of the team leader, Captain Danielo and Captain Wiwik.  We as men, have no right to interfere.”

“You yes...” But before Bianca was able to continue her protest to Dono, she finally found Kaiser who had just had a nosebleed and lunglai, seemed to have lost energy.

“Dek Kaiser!”  Shouted Bianca.

Instantly Bianca, Agni, and also Wilda headed towards Kaiser.  But Agni was the first to catch the fragile body when it was about to fall.

“What happened?”  Ask Bianca.

“No.  Not a big deal.  It seems that Young Master is just too overachieved.”  Agni also answered.

“Senior, what happened to Kaiser?”  Sela, along with Sabrina and Kirana, who are members of the red cross at her school, approached them once the circumstances of the victims near the school gate were no longer too alarming.

“Oh, Sela.  What about the victims?”  Ask Agni to Sela.

“We have made maximum efforts to provide emergency assistance.  But, many cannot be saved.”  Reply the medium-postured curl woman to Agni in a clean light.  Can be felt as deep sadness as the heart that is slashed from each of his words.

“Already.  You guys don't get too burdened.  We have been working optimally, the rest of the rest expect help above.”  Agni said it while smiling to comfort the three of them.

Agni then handed Kaiser to be treated by Sela who fortunately only small abrasions, only, while Sabrina treated the wounds of Wilda and Kirana treated the wounds of the bodyguard who was previously possessed by Number 2.

Agni then stood up and approached Captain Maya.  He then made a soft voice that made Sela and her friends unable to hear her words, but not too small so that it could still be heard by Bianca and Dono at a distance closer than him.

“I agree with Kak Maya's saying that most of the cultivators were not human.  But I wonder, why did this come out of the mouth of a Wijayakusuma family?  If you hate them so much, why does the Wijayakusuma family raise them, even you support the Earth Nail ritual of the Isnandar family to give birth to cultivators massively?”

Saying that, Agni looked at Captain Maya deeply.

“Yes, I also hate the decision of the elders towards that.  But that doesn't mean I can just prevent it.  My power in the family is not great.  I'm just from a branch family.  If I can, I want to eliminate the curse ritual that always takes the toll of 2 talented people every year.”  Captain Maya also answered Agni's question.

“Is that?”  Agni said as she reached for Captain Maya's right hand.

He then stroked that hand.

“Thank God it turns out Brother is still human.”  Agni said with a bright smile.

“Let's have a casual chat on another occasion huh Brother.  I'm especially very curious about the same tool that Big Brother used to subdue Tirta's.”  Agni also added while staying with her bright smile.

“Ten..”

Before Captain Maya answered Agni's invitation, Agni had first turned around and was about to leave the place.

However, before going any further, Agni once again looked back.

“Oh Yes Sister Maya.  I want to correct a little Brother's words.  Not all of them are not human.  At least the Airi we know is a complete human being who still has human values.  Of course, I say this in HAR-FI-AH.”  At the last word he said, Agni actually spelled it out as if to emphasize the word.

“Then, excuse me Maya, Bianca's sister, also Police Officer.”  Agni turned around and gave her greetings while bowing her body to the three of them before leaving the place.

[Then I told you why I'm the only one called sir while the two women you called Brother when I was only 3 years old with Bianca, even Captain Maya was older than me!!]  Dono murmured in his heart while showing wrinkles at his temple.

From the front entrance of the building, Lokriatul Wijayakusuma, who is often called Loki, stared intently at Agni with a complicated expression on his face.

While from the roof of the building from two different sides, two cultivators called Captain Maya as non-human, watching every detail of the scene.

One of them was Arthur Peirriera a.k.a Beni, a spy from the Medusa organization.  The other was none other than the black joker serial killer who stared at the place with a wrathful look of anger on his face.
