EIGHT TARGETS
134. Delete Your Assumption That Psychopaths Are Those Who Look Good

“How did the boy say, Captain Maya?  He wants to come, right?”  Alena asked her captain as soon as she finished her phone call.

“Iya, she said it will come soon.”  Captain Maya replied with a limp expression on her face.

“Thank God he wanted to come.  Hopefully, this time we get the jackpot from this incident.”  Alena was relieved after hearing the captain's reply.

Alena then turned to the captain and looked seriously at the captain's face.

“But, it is amazing that there are criminals who dare to enter here and plot the murder of prisoners, instead of instead killing him directly.”  Alena looked enthusiastic.

“The handcuffs.  It was clearly a spiritual object modified with a wild chakra so that it was like a time bomb that could explode at any given time.  But who can make such a thing?  Even our best technician cultivators are incapable of making such a thing.”

“He used the basic chakra in the form of water then made the chakra Tirta which has electric elements to flow little by little and change the nature of the chakra into a fire that immediately merges with the chakra that is still water element.  And this is the basis for the explosion.  Hmm, interesting.  This can be used as experimental data.”

Captain Maya seems so shocked by the cleverness and shrewdness of the perpetrator, but Alena was even amazed by the new knowledge she obtained from the perpetrator that could be the material of her research.

“But what makes me wonder is why the writing left by Tirta, not about the identity of the killer, but the next victim of a black joker serial killer?  Is this to be believed, Captain?  Don't you think this is just Tirta's assumption?”  Alena continued while watching the TKP photo through her computer screen.

In the photo, it looks slightly charred writing, but it can still be read well.

...VICTIMISED...

...UP NEXT...

...DIRGAE...

“Not to be mistaken, the perpetrator who sneaked is a black joker serial killer, especially with the carving of 3 scopes crossed in the handcuffs.  However, regarding the identity of the next victim, Tirta could have written it under the influence of hypnosis if he saw the strangeness of the prison guards yesterday so that we can think of it as a serial killer message.  Alena, have you investigated Marjono's identity carefully.”

Captain Maya asked Alena and Alena answered,

...###...

Marjono's.  Born in Bandung, January 2, 2001.  His father died in a car accident in Malaysia while he was still in the womb so his mother had to raise him alone.

However, she was mostly cared for by her grandparents in Jakarta because her mother had to work in Malaysia as a designer and owner of a fairly successful boutique there.  However, when he was 12 years old, his mother also died for the same reason as his father.

According to his friends, that's when Marjono began to have a quiet character.  By the age of 15 years, successively in the same year in the adjacent month, his grandfather and grandmother also died.  When the grandmother as his last family died, Marjono finally decided to stop school in the 3rd grade of his High School and return to his mother's hometown in Bandung.

But 9 months later, he returned to Jakarta, but he actually lived far from where he used to live with his grandparents.

“But this is what makes a shock, Captain Maya.”  Alena continued her words with a more serious expression.

“From some of his friends I contacted, namely his friend before his grandmother died, as well as his new friends at his workplace after his exile after the death of his grandmother, the characters change 180 degrees from quiet to chic and nice characters to chat with.”  Alena said back while glaring at her eyes a serious omen.

“When did the change happen?”  Captain Maya asked.

“Then, that means it can not be used as a reference because the Dios accident occurred about 2 – 3 years ago.  Impossible if the black joker serial killer took Marjono's identity even before Dios' accident happened.”

“Has it been confirmed that the motive for the murder was a grudge related to Dios?”  Alena also immediately confirmed the important thing that escaped from the analysis of Captain Maya.

“You were right too.  Not that the serial killer ever told us directly.”  And Captain Maya really understood that.

“Can also he disguised for other purposes then later decided to take revenge or it could be.” While saying that, Alena was silent for a moment and then looked into the eyes of her captain.

“He's innocent.”  Alena replied firmly.

“Yes, if we observe it again, there is nothing strange about this person's track record.  His entire life history is clear and complete without the falsification his neighbors can prove.  Except for his sudden change of attitude five years ago.  But isn't that natural?  Sometimes, people who are too mentally depressed, can have a sudden change in attitude.”

Alena then rested herself on the back of the chair while finally releasing her hand from her computer mouse that had always been held.

“But yeah, normally such a person goes from cheerful to reserved, and not the other way around.  But considering he used to be an active child before becoming quiet since the death of his mother, it could have been that he just had a shock that caused him to finally think death was a natural thing after the departure of his grandmother and decided not to think about it anymore by trying to cheer up.”

“You are right too, but..” said Captain Maya upon hearing the analysis of his men.

“Again, Captain?  Can we trust that kid named Kaiser?  Never mind, he said that to the Captain to disperse the direction of the investigation.  Coincidentally I got this video recording on the internet before it was deleted.”

Alena said as she played a video to be shown to Captain Maya who showed how Kaiser had passed the 4-meter-high wall of his school by jumping casually.

“This child is quite agile.  He was adept at swordsmanship and he also managed to survive Tirta's ferocious attacks.  He may have the qualifications to become a black joker serial killer.”  Alena once again said, but this time with something astonishing.

“The kid?  That is impossible.”  But Captain Maya immediately denied the statement.

“Ya, right.  That's not possible.  Kaiser isn't a bad guy who could do something like that.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind the two of them.  This is Lokriatul Wijayakusuma.

“Finally you came, Dik Loki.”  Alena immediately welcomed the young man she called Loki with a friendly smile.

“I can understand why many sometimes suspect Kaiser of all sorts of things because for the first to know the boy, it was, there is a strange vibe that causes us to feel that it is as if our figure is so inferior before him.  More and more scenes from recent Korean dramas that often describe the psychopath as a figure who looks innocent and friendly outside.”

“Hah.”  Loki also sighed.

“Such scenes have hypnotized everyone so much that it instills in their minds that there is no figure that is really good inside and out perfectly.  If people are so perfect on the outside, then they are psychopaths.  That's the mindset that is always instilled in the movies.”

Loki was silent for a moment.  He continued, too,

“Padalaat there you know, such a figure.  A person who has a good heart that is also reflected through his innocent face.  The figure of a boy who really has a high integrity of friendship and always helps without strings attached.”

Once again Loki was silent for a moment while staring back and forth between Alena and Captain Maya.

“He is my most precious friend, Kaiser.”
