EIGHT TARGETS

EIGHT TARGETS
53. A Police Officer Who Hosted a CPA


At 8:35 a.m., Kaiser, whose face was still wet with ablution water, wandered alone on the terrace of the former mosque building.  His condition is still not well aware so he cannot clearly remember the incident that occurred last night.


He woke up again on the terrace of the former mosque building, when he remembered he ran towards the villa Araka.


“Eh, why else would I want to go to Senior villa?”  Kaiser said while holding his forehead with his right hand that also covered his eyes.


Kaiser's eyes instantly widened.  He just realized what happened last night.  A mysterious figure had confronted him and knocked him unconscious while heading to Araka's villa.


Kaiser then ran as fast as he could towards Araka's villa out of concern for the senior.  The road that rises up makes his breath light up easily.  After running about 250 meters, he reached his destination.  How shocked Kaiser was, it turned out that the place had been crowded.  Encouraged by local residents, police, and journalists.


He walked with a cautious heart into the crowd.  In his mind he had thought of the possibility, but he was very hopeful that what he was thinking was wrong.  He also reached the middle of the crowd.  There is a police line and a TKP.  The sight of traces of blood strewn about and white lines formed a person who seemed to be a marker of the location of the corpse whose corpse had been secured.


But Kaiser still hoped that the corpse was not a person he knew.  He also looked around about the evidence left behind in the CTF.  Small beige bags and shabby blue towels.  Those were the exact same items that his senior had brought with him yesterday.  Then his eyes were fixed on an item that increasingly made everything clear.  The six spade card crossed out one of the spade emblems also lies from the various ranks of evidence in the TKP.  Unmistakable, it was the deed of the Massacre and this time the victim was his senior, Araka.


Kaiser is sitting.  Her blue eyes were glazed over and not long after, she could no longer hold back her tears.  She was crying in silence.  One of the TV cameramen noticed Kaiser and managed to capture Kaiser's face on the screen.

That morning, the breaking news live from Queen TV suddenly aired on television.  Ms. Nana, Nafisah Grandma, and Bi Markonah who were preparing a rather late breakfast about yesterday's events were suddenly alarmed because the news he reported turned out to be about the death of a young man due to murder victims.  More to their surprise again because it turns out the location of the murder is near their home.


The powerless Ms. Nana held back the feeling of her neck finally drooping and falling.  Fortunately Bi Markonah swiftly reached it.  Nafisah's grandmother who saw the state of her daughter was screaming hysterically and could not help her panic.


Mr. Lucias who was actually still far from the entrance of the house that was open at the time, immediately ran away leaving some residents who were with him when he heard hysterical screams from Nafisah Grandmother.  Mr. Lucias was very panicked at the safety of his missing son and his distraught wife at home.


Arriving at home, he immediately approached his wife who was already drooping helplessly.  He hugged his wife.  Ms. Nana responded by hugging her husband tightly.  Ms. Nana was crying with a very sliced heart.


Suddenly Bi Markonah broke the atmosphere by pointing at the television.


“Isn't the person on television Mr Kaiser?”  Bi Markonah.


“Speaking what are you Markonah?  It's definitely not my grandson.  My granddaughter is alive.  Hiks, hiks, hiks.”  Grandma Nafisah cried out loudly as she cried sobbing thinking that the murder victim might be her grandson.


“Not that Mom.  Look first on TV.  The crying blue-eyed young man was caught on camera in the crowd watching at the scene.”  Say once again Bi Markonah by pointing at the television.


Nafisah's grandmother, Ms. Nana, and Mr. Lucias stared at the television.


“Kaiser?”  They said simultaneously with surprise.


On the television, amidst the crowd, a young man appeared to be in the spotlight of the camera with his tears falling down with a beautiful luster due to his blue eyes.  He is Kaiser.


Without a second thought, the three of them rushed to the scene, while Bi Markonah was left at home to guard the house.


***


A young man cried silently without a sound in the middle of the scene.  Her white skin and delicate hair seemed to make her like she was not a person from this planet.  That peerless beauty grew even sweeter with her dripping tears, her beautiful sparkles reflecting the blue color of her eyes.  It makes the eyes of the crowd stumped on the beauty of it rather than the TKP itself.


After some time, Ms. Nana, Mr. Lucias, and Grandma Nafisah arrived at the scene and immediately ran to hug her beloved family.  The three of them also cried to accompany Kaiser.


Shortly after, two police officers approached them.


Mr. Lucias and Ms. Nana looked angry.  The policeman straightforwardly said ‘no hesitation to return to TKP’.  In other words, he accused Kaiser it was the perpetrator of the murder.  It didn't take long for Pak Lucias and Bu Nana to understand the situation with the gossiping crowd around him.  Apparently this case is still continuing from his son's problem about the mysterious murder of bullies who became Kaiser's enemies.


The two of them stood up while Grandma Nafisah calmed her grandson.  Lucias stared intently at Officer Dono.  But then, his expression turned soft.


“I don't know what you mean.  However, if you dare to disturb our family, then I will not hesitate to file a counterclaim.  Of course you don't want to lose your job, do you?”  Said Mr. Lucias with a smile but a cold look on his face.


“You threatened me?”  Reply Dono while looking intently at the smiling face of Mr. Lucias.


He also said, “The royal family is really scary.  Even after committing any perverted deeds, they can still escape from the entanglement of the law.”


“Paaak!”


A loud slap suddenly sounded.  Apparently Bu Nana who had been silent earlier, could not hold back her anger, then slapped Dono in the face.


Mono, who had been with Dono, immediately mediated their dispute.


“Hey, what are you saying?”  Mono said as he slapped the back of Dono's head.


“Pardon my friend's leniency.  He can't keep his mouth well.”  Said Mono while looking down by also forcing Dono down to apologize to Pak Lucias and Bu Nana.


“Am I wrong?  He was near the scene, obviously suspicious.  Especially in the case of the murder of Aleka and Rihana, his alibi is always suspicious.  I was wondering why until now let alone suspects, he has not even been designated as a prospective suspect after all this.”  Shouted Dono furiously.


Mr. Lucias looked angry and was about to say something.  But someone touched her hand gently as if telling her not to be provoked.  Kaiser, it was his son who had grasped his father's hand.


He whispered softly, “Daddy, look back.  There are cameras everywhere. Moreover, some are live broadcasts.  Stay calm, Dad.


The words of his son immediately made Mr. Lucias aware and returned to calm.


“Pak Police.  I happened to be near the scene.  So why?  Does that make me a suspect.  I coincidentally met Senior Araka yesterday and I ran here because I was worried about her after seeing a mysterious figure being near here.  And apparently, what I was worried about really happened.  Hah, Police Officer, what exactly did you learn at the academy?  You blindly accuse someone of being a suspect without any evidence.  Do you deserve to be called a cop?”  Kaiser said at first calmly, but suddenly shouted emphasizing his sentence at the end.


“What you should do first is ask me if I know anything about this incident.  Then I will not hesitate to help you describe the suspicious person I saw yesterday.”


“Help ya.  Of course you know the culprit because it's you yourself.”  Dono said with a grin on his face.


“Paaak!”  Once again a slap was slapped into his face.  This time on the other cheek, but not by Bu Nana, but Captain Danielo who was also at the scene of the CTF along with the two of them.


“Captain!  What's the Captain doing?  Clearly in the photo.” Officer Dono chose not to continue his speech after seeing the sadistic gaze of his captain.


“I'm sorry for the impoliteness of my men.  I'll educate him even better.”  Said Captain Danielo, bowing his head in front of Kaiser.


“Mr?!  Please raise your head back.  I'm it's okay.  After all, it is not the Father who does wrong, but the Father's men.  What is clear is that the police can cooperatively find the perpetrator, that is enough for me.”  Kaiser's misbehavioral remarks with his awkward laughter at feeling guilty had made the policeman who had approached old age bow his head to a teenager who was not even 20 years old.


“So, can Nak Kaiser take the time to describe the suspicious person that Nak Kaiser was referring to?”  The old policeman raised his head and looked at Kaiser's face seriously.


“Of course Mr.”  Kaiser replied firmly with determination.
