EIGHT TARGETS
17. Nimble, Short, and Left-handed

“Captain, forensic team just found important evidence!”  A policewoman ran brightly after the old man she called the Captain. 

“Bianca.  What's up?”  Said the old captain. 

“The forensic team has found out how the perpetrator was in and out of the scene.”  The woman answered the captain's question. 

“What?  Immediately call another team member.”

“Good Captain.”  The woman immediately took her mobile phone and called the other three team members.

In the room at an oval table, 4 members of the murder investigation team gathered at Sungsin Security.  The one who was not present was Fero who was stalking Kaiser's suspicious movements. 

“It has been confirmed that the killer entered and exited the building through the rear fence barrier.” 

“What do you mean?  Isn't there a cliff? Dono immediately interrupted the woman. 

“It's true. Hence the forensics team had not previously expected this either.  But considering the perpetrator was a professional killer with the condition of the victim's corpse, we expanded our investigation to find the possibility of the perpetrator being able to cross the ravine to get out of the building.  And the result..”.

“Click.”  The sound of a large monitor lighting up sounded. 

On the monitor, there is a picture of a 10-meter-high fence.  At one of the top of the fence, there was a deep scratch. 

“People may exit by climbing a rope, passing a fence, and descending into a ravine.  Near the ravine, the forensic team found traces of motorcycle tires.  But since it has been too long, the trail is rather blurry and difficult to identify.”  Bianca continued with a slightly disappointed expression.

“Wah, the culprit is very agile.  He must have a light body.  Oh yeah, by the way, wasn't most of the victims killed by being slit in the neck with an incision pointing upwards?” Dono was quick to express his opinion on the sidelines of Bianca's presentation. 

“Yes, that's right.  Forty-nine of the 59 victims experienced this.”  Mono answered Dono's question. 

“Isn't that a feature if the killer is shorter than the victim?”  Dono said as he rubbed his chin and smiled cynically. 

“I could have deliberately bent his legs to avoid a victim's backlash or scramble in launching his attack.”  Captain Danielo's refutation of Dono's comments. 

“Maybe.  But the incision itself from left to right, isn't that a characteristic of left-handedness?  A light body, shorter than the victim that averages 180 cm, left-handed, does it not lead to a person?”  Dono let out his opinion accompanied by a cynical smile as he looked towards Bianca.

“What do you want to say Brother Dono?”  Bianca was angry. 

“No.  I'm just wondering, who said yesterday don't subjectively investigate.”  Dono said that while bending one corner of his lips. 

“Paaak.”  Bianca pats the table. 

“That's right Brother Dono.  So we cannot conclude things before the evidence is certain.  As Captain Danielo said earlier, the upward incision position does not guarantee that the perpetrator is shorter than the victim.  Then, even fat people if they practice, then their bodies can be agile.  And lastly, left-handed people in this world are not only 1 person.”  Bianca said that while looking at Dono with anger.

“Already.  It's been.  No need to fight.  Mono, you're trying to figure out where the motorcycle tire tracks went.  Check the nearest CCTV.  Bianca, you re-investigate the location where the perpetrator likely climbed to escape.  Who knows if there's DNA left in there. 

And you Dono, stop to always investigate Mr. Lucias Dewantara's son.  You find information from the closest people to the victim both Mr. Widarno, his wife, and their son Aleka about people who might hold a grudge against them.”  Said Captain Danielo mediate the heated debate.

Mono suddenly raised his hand before Captain Danielo closed the meeting. 

“Sorry Captain, is there a possibility that this is a case of serial killer?” 

“What do you mean?”  Captain Danielo asked again who was curious why Mono asked like that. 

Does that mean the killer is still aiming for 7 more targets?  If this has anything to do with the bullies case 2 years ago, does that mean that the person involved in the bullying case is in danger sir?”  Mono carefully expressed his opinion. 

Captain Danielo was silent for a moment then made up his mind. 

“I will inform the parents of potential victims to be more careful.  They were royal children, not ordinary people.  Their parents can take better care of them than we do. 

As for one more bully if not wrong, bodyguard Silva, one of the children who also bullied the victim.  If not wrong, he is currently being held in his home country of Hong Kong right?  He'll be safer there. 

When dealing with abroad, we can't do anything if there is no authentic evidence.  While we keep an eye on.”  Answer Captain Danielo. 

The meeting ended and each team member began to carry out the tasks assigned to them.

A tall white woman of model stature opened the door and entered in one of the VIP rooms of the bar.  A tall muscular man and wearing only a very short boxer greeted him. 

“Nona Silva, welcome.” 

“Oh, Jey, where are the others? 

“Master Riandra and Miss Rihana visited this morning.  Mr. Araka also arrived at around 7pm, but left immediately.  If Mr. Dirga and Mr. Tirta have not been seen all day.”  The waiter, Jey, answered Silva's every question politely. 

Silva, who directed his eyes at Jey, did not let go and instead looked at him more and more intensely from top to bottom. 

“Hmm.  Miss Silva?  What was?  Is there something on my body?”  The waiter wondered at Silva's disrespectful behavior. 

“No.  I suddenly thought that you were my ideal type.  Tall, muscular, and also contains.”  Silva said with lust. 

He groped the young man's stomach.  The young man immediately dodged Silva's entanglement. 

“Sorry Miss.  Miss better not do this.” 

As if he had not heeded the servant's words, the Miss came closer to the Servant. 

“Hey, want to be my mistress?” Ask the naughty lady. 

“No, thank you Miss.”  Answer the waiter firmly.

The waiter immediately moved back, bowed politely, and immediately moved towards Silva's back and guided Silva at his desk. 

“No.  Today I want to go home.”  Said Silva who looked disappointed because his wish was not fulfilled.

Silva, who was already in a bad mood first, immediately let go of his attention to the half-naked young man and rushed off.

That morning, Aliska went to work as usual.  This time, he covered a small story in which a garbage man was beaten to death by a mob for stealing a laptop.  However, what he did not expect happened to the results of his investigations on the ground.
