The Dark Side of a Judge
Chapter 36. New Suspect
"You're making me suspicious!" Hans stared intently at Maudy who was now sculpting.
Maudy's fingers hang in the air. His heart was beating so fast. Hans immediately grabbed the lover's cellphone which continued to light up.
"Oh, call from Hasna." Hans handed the flat object to Maudy.
Maudy grabbed the phone and picked up a call from Hasna. The woman took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
"Hello, Ma'am."
"Dy, where are you?"
"Ah, I ...." Maudy glanced at Hans as the woman did not know what to answer.
Hans sontak pointed towards the plate of the former satay padang. Maudy followed Hans' index finger, then looked back at the lover.
"I'm out for a while looking for satay padang, ma'am. Suddenly want to."
"Why didn't I just WA? Can I stop by for you?"
"Sorry, Ma'am. I also want to walk outside the apartment. Bored inside continue."
"For now you're not going anywhere, Dy. I'm afraid you're okay."
Maudy. His heart was touched to hear the beautiful doctor's worries. His determination to uncover the evil Leopard Gang grows stronger.
"Then go home soon, it's night. Tomorrow's the control schedule. You need to stay healthy and get plenty of rest."
"Y-yes, Ma'am. I'm home now."
"Yes, I'm waiting. Ah, or are you getting picked up?"
"No, no, Ma'am. I'll be home soon."
"Alright, be careful on the road."
Phone connection disconnected. Maudy breathes a sigh of relief. A call from Hasna saved him that day. The beautiful woman immediately said goodbye to Hans and rushed home.
...****************...
The atmosphere of the courtroom that day felt a little different. Ferdi repeatedly gulped roughly as he waited for the verdict from Makutha. Before reading the verdict, the Public Prosecutor suddenly moved from his chair.
"Yes, how's Attorney Karen?"
"New evidence has been found for Tito's murder."
Karen stepped closer towards Makutha. The woman handed a cell phone to the handsome Chief Justice. Karen stood in the middle of the courtroom then looked at the faces of the audience one by one.
"We got a recording of a voice conversation and also a new witness."
The courtroom atmosphere suddenly boomed. Everyone looked at each other and whispered. Some of them muttered so it sounded like the buzzing of bees.
"Please remain calm during the trial!" makutha exclaimed with her distinctive voice.
"Please continue, Attorney Karen."
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. Please, Sister Maudy Amanda, come forward and testify."
Hans. He did not expect Maudy to come to testify. His heart was starting to feel broken. The handsome doctor loosened the shirt by removing the top button.
Maudy stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Makutha. The handsome judge replied with a nod. One of the clerks advanced while carrying the scriptures. The clerk put it over Maudy's head.
"Sister Maudy, please follow my words." Makutha begins to lead Maudy to take the oath.
“I swear ... that I will explain in truth .. and nothing else than the other. May God help me.”
When he finished, Makutha gave him some questions. Related to the Tito case. Everyone in the room was increasingly commenting.
Maudy confessed that she was involved in the Tito plot murder case. He also mentioned that Hans was the main culprit. However, Maudy did not dare to uncover the brains of the murder.
"So you mean, Ferdi was attacking on someone's orders and under pressure? That so?"
"Yes your honor."
"Then, other than Hans, was there another party involved?"
"Your highness can listen to the recording I brought for proof, your honor."
Makutha grabbed the phone in front of her. He also played voice recordings secretly recorded by Maudy. After the recording was over, Hans got up from the chair and shouted in self-defense.
"This violates the ITE Act, Your Honor!"
