SALOKA RESIDENCE
CHAPTRE 015

“The thugs also made the residents next door very frightened. I should've kicked him out a long time ago, but I didn't have the heart for him.”

“You said, he came out today?” ask John to make sure.

“No. Precisely last night, after he drank alcohol and beat the occupants of the next room,” explained Eli.

“Hitting? He's still beating people?”

“Yes. He beat up someone else, then I got angry and kicked him out right then and there. I think he used that opportunity to escape from this place.”

“Who did he hit?” john asked, still looking for something.

“He's a resident who lives next door to his room. Jeez... Oh, that's it.” Eli saw the Autistic Man just come out of his room.

“Hey, you. Come here!” Eli calls the Autistic Man and tells him to come to him. “Come a minute!” Eli waved to the Autistic Man.

“Dia here?” ask John who came out of the room.

“Ya, she's the one.” Eli pointed at the Autistic One who was walking over to him.

“He is a cop. He came here to catch the thug who hit you yesterday. Come and tell him.”

The Autist scratched his head in a giggle. John who saw the behavior of the Autistic One, scrunched his forehead.

“Yes, he suddenly said, I was too noisy and slapped me hard.”

*PLAK!!

The Autist slapped his own cheek practicing it.

“I told him to stop, but he didn't want to stop that and kept slapping me until my cheeks turned red. She has a scar on her face that makes her look even scarier.”

The Autist chuckled, making John a little annoyed.

“Why are you laughing? Do you feel funny when you get hit?” ask John. “What's so funny? Is it true he was hit?” John asked Eli.

“Gosh.” Eli came closer to John's ear and whispered, “His mind is a little distracted, sir. She's a little Autistic.”

John understood. “Alright then. If he comes back, you can call me at this number.” John gave Eli his card. “Perhaps, we will also look for him as a missing person.”

“She's already hit and run without paying rent. I hope you can catch him, sir,” Eli said, receiving John's identity card.

“Good. You can report or call my number and excuse me, I'll go” right away

“Gosh. Do I have to report to the police station? By the way, how do you know him, sir?”

John simply ignored Eli's question and left the hallway.

Without them all noticing, Han was behind the wall of the reception room. See and hear all their words.

Han directly left from there, as John walked out of the building.

“Gosh. Looks like he's making a big deal,” said John down the stairs.

In front of the building, John meets Jack who just returned from TOCERBA.

“Wait a minute, Young man!” John calls Jack who is about to board the building. “Do you live here?” continued John.

“Yes,” replied Jack nodding his head.

“I police.” John showed his identity. “About the way, do you recognize this guy? Did you recognize him” John again showed Jack a photo of Wick. Ask seriously.

“The man.. I don't know him very well, but I've eaten instant noodles together and chatted a few times, the first time I moved here,” explained Jack.

“Ah. Apparently so. Have you ever seen anything strange about this guy?” ask John. “It's weird?” jack knows everything.

“Yes. Different things than usual or strange attitude. Have you seen him?” continued John.

“Why? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?” ask John.

“Not so. I mean, I just feel like something happened because a cop like you came here,” Jack said.

“Oh, so, he's my acquaintance, but he's also a fugitive who just got out of jail for beating people up a few times.”

“Suddenly he called me and asked for my help. He said that someone wanted to kill him. Then, I came here. Do you remember anything?”

Jack who heard the story from John was quite surprised and his eyes were glaring. Don't know what to say.

“Emm. It seems that he does not have a good relationship with the other occupants of the room at this boarding house,” said Jack. “What's there again?” ask John.

“Maybe it was just my assumption, but it seems like he was also feared and scared by some people who lived here. I don't know what's really going on,” Jack explained.

“Alright, that's enough. If you remember something or feel something strange, you can call this number.”

John gave Jack his card.

“Good, Sir. I'll do it.”

“Sorry to interrupt your time, Young Man. Quickly go back and rest.”

“Good, Sir.” Jack nodded in salute to John who was back in his car.

On the 2nd floor, Jack walks casually with John's business card he still holds.

“Hey, Young Man! Jesus, I almost forgot to say.” call Eli from inside his room.

“What's up, Mistress?”

“It. There's a package for you.” Eli pointed at a cardboard package that was on the reception desk.

The package is Jack's laptop which has just been repaired and sent to Jack's residence.

When Jack saw it, the cardboard wrapping around his laptop had opened.

“What is this? Mistress, Eli! Did you open this package?” jack asked with a look of annoyance.

“No. I wasn't. I just looked at it earlier and forgot to tell you, when I saw your name written on it. Even I never held it at all,” Eli denied.

“The occupant of the room in front of you took the wrong. He thought it was a package for him,” Eli continued.

“Sial! That Mesum again!” murmured Jack Lirih.

“Such things happen often in communal life, Jack. Just relax.”

Ignoring Eli's words, Jack just left with an emotion-borne thought.

Jack walked to the room of the Pervert. Jack looked at the door to the room of the Perverted who was always open and saw what he was doing.

Jack undoes his intention to crash, when he sees what the Mesum did.

The pervert sat on a chair and stared at his computer. The pervert was looking at pornographic videos and wearing a headset and did not close the door to his room.

Jack who was upset did not think to see the behavior of the Perverted. As he was about to hit the Mesum's head from behind, he remembered Mika's words, that he should be more patient again.

Finally, Jack returned to his room, and opened the laptop that had been fixed on a small table.

“Gosh. Why doesn't he turn off the laptop, if it's done justifying it. They should have turned it off first.”

Jack again remembered the Pervert who made it possible, he was the one who turned on Jack's laptop.

“Sial! Is it possible that Mesum turned on my laptop?”

Jack took a deep breath, then exhaled back. Wishing he could really contain his anger.
