The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 53. The case!
“I'll be home later tonight," Xavier said before getting into the car that will take him away. Graciella just nodded slowly. Xavier raised the corner of his lips.
“Alright! Careful!” stevan shouted at Xavier with great enthusiasm.
“I leave him for a moment at you.” Xavier knew that today Stevan was not so busy with his schedule.
“Just relax, I'll take care of her like my own boyfriend. The spirit to keep an eye on your subordinates!” stevan said as long as it makes Xavier squint his eyes at Stevan. Issuing a threatening aura to him with just that gaze. “No, no, don't look at me like that. You see! How can you live with a man whose face is always cruel like that, it is better to marry me, you must laugh continuously,” sedu Stevan who saw Graciella laugh thinly at his and Xavier's behavior.
“Stevan!” that heavy voice sounded quite upset.
“Go later you will be late," said Graciella who felt this fight will be endless.
“Alright," said Xavier who went straight into his car. Graciella waved her hand seeing the car coming out of the courtyard of the house.
“Nona Graciella, come on in,” take Stevan. Graciella immediately nodded and walked slowly. His legs are not so painful anymore, maybe tomorrow he wants to see if the seams can be opened or not.
“Irjen Stevan, you don't work?” graciella asked to see that the man was still relaxed in his home clothes. Unlike Xavier, even before Graciella woke up, the man had already finished exercising and was immediately preparing to do his job.
“Ehm? just call me Stevan, instead of that sounding more intimate, I mean familiar. Yeah, I don't have to be in the office too early. There are a few things I can do from home, Miss Graciella" Stevan said.
“Then you should also call me Graciella.” Graciella feels a little strange being called Miss by Stevan.
“Ehm, don't want to. I always call beautiful women with the name ‘Nona’ my appreciation of them," said Stevan again immediately sat on the sofa in the living room. “Nona Graciella, here only. Xavier was so chatty about asking me to take care of you. So you don't stay away from me" Stevan said with a bright smile.
Graciella frowned. This guy is hard to guess. Either serious or not, not visible because of its overly friendly nature. Graciella just threw a smile and sat on the single sofa near Stevan. Stevan then immediately focused on the tablet that was in front. His face that was always filled with that smile suddenly looked solemn. Graciella frowned and became a little curious.
“Oh, I'm sorry Miss Graciella. There are some things I need to do. This case makes me dizzy," said Stevan saw Graciella who just silently looked at him. He felt guilty for leaving Graciella alone.
“Ehm, it's okay. Do you want me to leave you, maybe there's some secret data that I can't figure out" Graciella said.
“Iya, I can't possibly divulge it," Graciella said.
“So like this!” stevan said the direction of his seat changed towards Graciella. Graciella looked at Stevan who looked serious. Graciella tried to seriously stare at Stevan. “There is no need to be too serious so Miss Graciella. If you look at me that way, I'm afraid my friendship and Xavier will end because I have to take you away from him.” Stevan looked chuckled at Graciella.
Graciella looked strangely at Stevan. Even though he had tried to be serious, this man had joked again. Graciella is confused as to how to respond to Stevan. How can a man like this become an Inspector General in the police force.
“Alright, I will explain seriously. So .. two weeks ago there was a case of the death of a woman who followed a cult because there was a pentagam tattoo on her left hand. He was taken to the hospital by a man. This man was a chief director of a large company. The company actually belonged to his wife's family. He took her to the IGD and said he saved the woman from some men who wore clothes like heresy clothes as they performed rituals. He saw the woman thrust her own knife into her chest. In the knife found also there are only prints so women and men helpers because he gave a confession that he who pulled the knife out of the woman's chest. At the hospital, the witness said the woman's last words were that the man saved her. So the case closes with the conclusion that the woman tried to hurt herself to make herself the victim of a heretical ritual and until now we are chasing three people who are involved in the cult. But, until now the woman's parents could not accept that her son committed suicide because of being a follower of the cult. They believe that the man who killed his son was the man who saved him." Stevan was finally really serious about what happened. Graciella also seriously and carefully listened to what was conveyed by Stevan.
“Not this case too simple for you to handle directly?” graciella. For the Inspector General's class. Stevan was supposed to leave a case like this to his subordinates.
“The problem is that her mother knelt for more than eight hours in front of my house just so I could re-examine the case. He said only I could help him. What if a mother did that to you, you'd be able to refuse her? So I agreed and promised to help that mother.” Stevan looked straight at Graciella who glanced at her tablet.
“It ... “ said Graciella saw photos of the case from Stevan's tablet. Graciella frowned, looking at a black car.
“The man took the woman in this car and immediately went to the hospital. Here is CCTV footage of the man passing through a red light. Look at the woman sitting in front of him" Stevan said, reanalyzing his case.
“And this is a photo from inside his car?” graciella said looking at a photo that was there.
“Yes, this is a photo taken after the police arrived" Stevan said.
“The woman sits in front with the man?” ask Graciella again. Stevan frowned looking at Graciella's face which looked seriously thinking. It was not that he had shown the CCTV photo that the woman was sitting next to him.
“Yes, he's sitting next to her," Stevan said. He shouldn't have invited Graciella to discuss this. He should have talked about holidays or what women like. Women don't really understand this.
“Can you slightly enlarge that CCTV photo again?” ask Graciella.
