The piano music has been echoing in the air since Ares entered the living room, and found Mama Edith and Papa Hades in a very luxurious living room with a unique piano in the middle of the room. The piano is a piano with a special design made by the Greek Kingdom Group since its entry into the interior design business.

“Papa, Mama..," Ares said when she met her parents.

Mama Edith smiled and continued to play the piano. Papa Hades just cleared his throat and then sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked Ares to sit on the sofa as well.

That's how Papa Hades, a little talk and impressed indifferent every met Ares.

“Wait for your Mama to finish playing the piano, after that we talk in Papa's office," Hades told Ares who was ready to open his mouth to invite his Papa to speak elsewhere.

Ares nodded and sat quietly until Mama Edith's piano playing was over, about 15 minutes long.

Plok. plok.. plok.

“Excellent, always fascinating," said Papa Hades, smiling sweetly at his wife and winking one eye as if he were flirting.

Mama Edith laughed happily and approached the two of them who were sitting on the sofa.

“Please talk to Ares, honey. I'm waiting for you at the dinner table, let's have lunch together, " said Mama Edith then walked towards the kitchen to ask the waiter to prepare lunch.

Hades stood up and walked into his study. Ares followed his father's steps immediately. After they were in Papa's study, Ares immediately expressed the intention of his arrival.

“Thank you, Pa. My mom helped me overcome everything. But Ares asked Papa to help Athena, too, Pa. The girl was innocent" Ares said firmly although she knew it was hard to persuade her father, helping Zeus' daughter Anthony.

Papa just cleared his throat again. He didn't say anything.

“Pa, Ares knows the culprit is neither Mama nor Athena. If Papa is willing to hand over cctv footage that is still complete, has not been deleted, to the police, this murder case must be revealed" Ares said.

“What makes you so sure that neither Hera nor Athena did?" asked Hades, staring intently at Ares.

“Because they are kind-hearted people, Pa. They will not be so cruel and evil, Pa" replied Ares confidently.

“Good, I like your answer. I'm glad you trusted your mother with such confidence" Hades said.

Papa Hades returned to his throat and then remained silent for quite a while.

Ares kept waiting for his Papa's answer in silence.

“We had lunch first now," said Papa Hades and then walked out of his study.

Ares breathed his breath, although Papa Hades had not given the certainty to help Athena, but at least he had expressed the request of Opa Mark and himself.

“Athena, be patient.. I will persuade Papa again later," promised Ares and he immediately headed to the dining room to have lunch with his family.

Budi with Hari and Linda have arrived at a small cottage near the Black Rabbit Lake, the body of a man with no identity was found with his neck choked by a rope and both shoulders bruised and cracked.

“This little hut is a hut unknown to its owner. Then how do we begin this investigation?" linda asks confused what to investigate because the case is completely deadlocked.

“In this cottage there is no cctv and a homeless person who found this body in the cottage is not known to exist, because it has disappeared somewhere," Linda said again.

“We better check this cottage once again, maybe we will find something in this cottage," said Budi while continuing to examine this cottage more thoroughly.

“Hmm.. There are not many things in this cottage, even almost empty, only dust and cobwebs are many here," said Hari while blowing a cobweb nearby.

Heart of Day seemed to be racing, as his eyes read the three letter carvings on the walls of the cottage right before him. The letter is very small and thin. People who do not pay close attention to it, will definitely not be able to see it. that HEF is a letter engraved on the wall. Day instantly wiped away all the dust that had stuck to the wall, and she finally found a few more letters.

“HEFASIUS," cried Hari while reading the letters carefully.

“Aaan anyway? Make it a shock," said Linda surprised.

“What's up, Har?" tanya Budi immediately approached Hari.

“See this, there is a HEFASIUS inscription on this wall. I will photograph this wall first. Maybe if seen on camera, this writing will be more clearly readable," said Hari while taking out her cellphone, photographing the writing on the wall and immediately checking the results of her photo in the mobile phone gallery.

“True, the writing is HEFASIUS," said Budi who read a series of letters on Hari's phone.

Budi immediately rubbed the dust attached to the walls of the cottage and then found the initials of the letter LkM in several places. Take a long breath.

“Photo of all the letters on the wall. Looks like the victim carved a lot of letters on the wall and someone tried to cover all these letters by repainting the wall and sprinkling a lot of dust on the wall, so as not to look dirty and more natural," budi said more excited because it has found a bright spot.

Hari and Linda also immediately looked excited, they immediately cleaned all parts of the cottage wall and photographed the writing on the wall, if they found it.

Last day I checked the photos in the gallery.

“HEFASIUS, LkM, KILLER, THE, IS" Hari said as she swiped her phone screen.

“Hefasius is the killer, LkM," said Budi guessing the purpose of writing the murder victim.

Everyone in the cabin was shocked by Budi's words.

“Let's go back to the police station immediately and report this to Mr. Hendra," Budi asked.

“Ready, Sir," reply Linda and Day together.

The Z police station.

After Hendra heard the explanation from his team members, he immediately gave the order.

“Find out anyone who has the name Hefasius in this world," Hendra commands quickly.

Then Hendra fell silent.

Why did a year ago, this letter does not exist? And why did these letters appear only after Hefasius died? inner Hendra.

“Then what about these initials of the letter LkM, sir?" tanya Budi advised Hendra to refocus.

“It looks like this is also the initials of the name, Bud. But I'm still confused, why is the letter k in the middle of this written in lowercase huh? Is this not the initial of a name but somewhere or what initial of a letter is it?" ask Hendra again.

And Linda came hastily into the room.

“That little lodge is within the family property of this country's Minister of Law, sir. Lucius Malcom's. Match the initials LM on the wall of the cottage," said Linda with a sharp breath.

“Wow... great you, Linda," replied Hendra pleased.

“Son of Lucius Malcom, named Lukas Malcom, Sir. He was a close friend of Hefasius Anthony. LkM means Lukas Malcom, right?" say Linda again.

“Very great team work. Now meet Mr. Lukas Malcom and ask him further. It seems like the bright spot of the case has started to open" Hendra said, then patted Linda on the back.

"And be careful, lest anyone find out before you meet Luke Malcom, for it seems to be connected with the murder of Zeus and Hefasius," hendra reminded his men to be more careful.
