Research Initiation.

"Hello Lou Yan! Where are you now?, are you still there?"

That gentle yet hasty-sounding voice was the voice of Felix, Lou Yan's personal assistant who had worked for over 5 years. Although knowing Felix is not as long as Lou Yan knows the Kesti family, but in the matter of his painter career all arranged by Felix. And the salary of the 19-year-old man was also not the least considering he was the only one who was hired and had a close relationship with Lou Yan.

"No, Fel. I was on my way home, and now I'm at a gas station close to the big road" He glanced next to him, "I'm now driven in a white car belonging to 'kunikan' Mrs Kesti."

As soon as he heard the last sentence, Felix immediately grabbed Lou Yan with various questions.

About Kesti... Felix had known about it, but had never met the woman in the days before and even to this day he had no idea what she looked like.

"What?! do you know who drove you?, how can you follow people you don't know?!"

Lou Yan snorted.

"You're too worried. I'll be fine as long as I'm still focused on watching his movements. Instead of thinking about me, what exactly made you call?"

...

"Look.."

"Today, the Island-School painting has officially entered the case. Do you remember that guy named Helman?"

Lou Yan cleared a little long.

"Hmmmmm, the winner of the auction? which until now we have never seen?..."

"YEAH!, THAT'S THE GUY! he is the prime suspect in the case because the victim is his own son. Although it has not been investigated further but your painting is not really used as evidence, but only used as a simple carrier because it includes items there"

"So before this case is over, we better not show up to any meetings or events that are currently taking place."

"Right now that I'm at the police station, you're here for a moment with caution, because I'm sure you'll be of great help here."

"This is a very stressful situation... So that's why I can't take it anymore."

...

"Lou Yan..?"

***

Felix's voice sounded very clear in Lou Yan's ears. But he did not notice it and instead looked at the car glass that could show the back seat.

From now on, he constantly heard rattles that made him feel disturbed and unfocused.

"... Hey.... Are you in any serious condition?"

The phone remained on, but still there was no reply issued by Lou Yan. Within Felix's side he only heard the roar of breath Lou Yan let out which was extremely loud, and the roar of breath sounded like it was irregular.

*Srek...

The voice came back and only Lou Yan could hear it.

For some reason, he did not turn off the phone and continued to let Felix hear his uneasiness. Although outside the atmosphere is very crowded and very bright, there are too many sounds of vehicles passing, but not so with the atmosphere in the car that is very cool and very gripping. As if now there were two different worlds.

I feel like something is wrong behind. And since he was already at the peak of his frustration over all the distractions, he decided to turn his head around and look at the back seat.

... He was silent.

Both of his hands were shaking, and his eyes looked faint.

No one or at least something can move there. This is normal, as seen in the windshield. However, the voice that now sounded like clawing was heard right before Lou Yan.

When he was relieved because there was no 'thing' that surprised him, at the same time he also felt goosebumps.

".. Fel, I'll turn the phone off. But don't let go of your phone for a second" Lou Yan turned back to face the front.

"uh? Okay, careful...."

After the voice call was interrupted. Lou Yan glanced at the windshield to make sure that there was nothing behind. But unfortunately this time what he thought really existed.

The man's eyeball widened as he looked at the tall black figure behind him with a slender hand that wanted to grab his shoulder.

The figure's eyes emitted a bright red color, no lips, nose, or ears, making the head of the strange creature was only a circle that had short hair only. It was a strange situation, and then under such circumstances for no reason all over Lou Yan felt stiff.

But even though the darkness was right behind him, it did not let him off guard.

"hey, do you think you can approach me with those disgusting hands?"

"You know exactly that I can sense presence without needing to see your figure, right? It is not good for children to prank adults. That's a childish nature."

Already feeling quite insulting to the figure, Lou Yan narrowed his eyes as the figure sculpted.

...

*hik... Hiccuped....

Suddenly the ghost let out a small sobbing sound and curled up to hide his face.

That fake cry was quite shocking to Lou Yan.

But when fed up with all this, Lou Yan breathed a rough breath and immediately got out of the car to get home.

Outside the car, the two men looked at each other. Lou Yan stuffed his palms into his suit pocket while giving a friendly smile before the father. Of course seeing Lou Yan who came out the father immediately looked confused.

And at that moment Lou Yan gave a deep thank you along with permission to go home alone using his friend's car. Although his appearance had begun to be suspected by officers there, Lou Yan was not so dizzy.

Sounding from his voice, the father felt reluctant, but still he invited Lou Yan with pleasure for an undeniable reason from Lou Yan.

And Lou Yan' also gladly accepted it because that's the goal.

*drap! The drap! Drape! ...

The man stepped quickly to the side of the road to wait for a public car to pass by with the cellphone he was still holding.

It is true that he has many ways to put someone in his mind, and this is one of the ways he has shown. In particular he said that his friend would pick him up, when in fact he would ride a public vehicle. With a cell phone that every few seconds he checks, and also stands firmly on the side of the road... It was obvious he didn't want to find out what was really going on in the car, and he didn't want to be concerned with the people who started it.

But after some time, Lou Yan who felt that his anxiety had ended with the stop of a car in front of him, it was made by the father's car that somehow crossed the road from where Lou Yan currently stands. It makes him confused.

..

"Mas, a ride?"

The driver of the general-car took the initiative to ask because he saw the dreamy Lou Yan.

"Oh, yes."

After waking up, he immediately climbed up and took a deep breath and exhaled as comfortably as possible, trying to forget about the incident. But as if a nightmare, the incident really could not escape his mind. Until his head felt very dizzy.

...

"hemm"

"Where's the goal, huh?"

Lou Yan rubbed his face.

"I want to head to the police station downtown. Without moving to another car." he confirmed the words he said at the end of his words.

"Menn... But Mas needs to continue the journey in the car that the destination there because this car is only active around here. I'll pass when I get to Pem... "

The driver's words came to a halt when he saw Lou Yan's gaze that surpassed the word 'friendly smile towards a stranger' directing at him. Well, seen from any side it was very intimidating for anyone who saw it, then not long ago Lou Yan also leaned his back on the car seat, making the driver again feel bad.

"I'm tired of moving cars. I hope this is just one trip, is that reason enough?, I will definitely pay you 5 times for your hard work"

With such a tempting offer to the lower class as the driver, who would not accept it?, life turned out to be that low before people of honor. At least that's what it looks like now.

"Huf... Life as a person who does not lack is very tasty, yes" he pulled speed up the car and drove past the border of the region. "Why don't you just use a private car?, if it's like this I'll be burdened until tomorrow"

"..."

"Hmm, I don't have any relatives here. Instead of blaming me for your feelings, shouldn't you be happy?"

The driver answered quickly.

"From the things that break the rules?, Mas so funny, huh"

Not only funny, Lou Yan also became the first passenger to wear a suit while riding a public vehicle.

The driver did not dare to open his mouth again. Afraid that his golden opportunity might just run away.

- 2 hours' passed...

The case concerned is the case of a child who died horribly. Broken bones were identified so much that it was labelled a cruel death for a child who was even still in the stage of becoming an adult.

The name of the boy is Lala. His identity is as a 12-year-old Primary-School student.His life is taken care of only by his father, Helman Teru. Her mother died a few years ago, as her funeral was closed, the investigation expanded.

Then the body was found by the father of the boy himself, Helman.

According to his description that he had said, the lifeless body was lying in front of the stairs. The estimated occurrence at that time was, the victim who was then sick with fever could not pay attention to the footing of the stairs and even ended up slumped down gradually. And there were a few broken bones in the victim's body.

The case was closed because the father of the victim wanted a quiet funeral, and that meant no further autopsies.

..

The new case continues.

A few days after the funeral of the child was held, a new case was reported. The body of a child named Fiana happened to have the same age as a child named Lala, and also lived in the same complex.

The child's body was found in a cardboard box placed on the side of the road.

A young man who found it gave his testimony who accidentally found the cardboard. The condition of the body only has 1 scar that coiled around his neck. The assumption is, the child was out of breath when suffocated by a rope to leave a mark and died.

...

"What do you think?, do you feel that these 2 cases sound quite awkward?"

In a room with 3 people, the three of them stood and stared at the paper on the table. The look on their faces was so serious, even more so Lou Yan who had just been asked a question by the police officers there.

"I think these 2 cases could be connected"

The police officer immediately confirmed Lou Yan's answer.

"Yes, I think so too"

"And because of this second report, the first case of death we reopen the investigation. And because a family case like this is very sensitive... Then the slightest thing should be examined carefully.." instantly his face turned lethargic.

.

.

"It seems difficult indeed, yes" Lou Yan felt pity for that man whose life would always be concerned with upper class people.

"Of course."
