Code 810: Corpse On The Hill

chapter 7. Romeo

After receiving instructions from Mr. Cahyo and Maria's mother, detectives Egan and Keiko began to investigate Romeo Soeratman as the victim's lover.

Because they do not have a search warrant, these two detectives can only wait in front of the gate of Romeo's house that looks quite magnificent.

“Looks like he's not a random person,” detective Egan said.

“Can we see from this house,” timpal detective Keiko.

“How long will we wait here?“ grouse detective Egan.

“Sabarlah! We just waited for him here for two and a half hours,” detective Keiko said as she glanced at her watch.

“Pantes aja, coffee I have not been hot again,” detective Egan began sarcasm.

Detective Egan had just sipped his already cold coffee when detective Keiko gave him a code to get off the monil because Romeo had already exited his house by riding a big motorcycle.

Egan quickly approached Romeo and tried to stop the speed of the big motor being driven by Romeo.

“What's this!“ hardik Romeo is shocked to see someone blocking his path.

“Sorry Mr. Romeo. We need to talk to you,” Detective Keiko said.

“I'm on urgent business. Speak later,” replied Romeo ketus.

“Is your business more important than Tania Akbar?“ ask detective Egan.

“Of course,” replied Romeo no less ketus.

“Why is that?“ ask detective Keiko gently.

“I will meet my future girlfriend. While my relationship with Tania is over,” Romeo replied again agitatedly and glanced at his watch many times.

“Yahg hand clock is good,” detective Egan said.

“Of course. It's my father's gift. By the way, who are you?“ ask Romeo.

“We are decective from the police. I'm detective Egan, this is my colleague detective Keiko,” Detective Egan introduced himself.

“You seem so sure,” detective Egan said.

“Ya!“ answer Romeo again.

“Last time you communicated with Tania?“ ask detective Keiko.

“Create times? Try to remember first... “ Romeo's face looks so serious then he again said, “about a week ago.“

“Surely after that, you never communicate again with Tania?“ Keiko asked back.

“Of course I'm sure. That day he wanted to meet me but I couldn't because I had to attend a meeting with the commissioner at my parents' company,” Romeo replied.

“Is there a witness we can ask?“ ask Egan.

“Please. This is my parents office address. Come over there and ask me where I am. There are dozens of people who can be witnesses for me.“ Romeo looks very confident while giving a piece of kantu the same as the name written on it and the address of his office.

Detective Egan turned over the business card and put it in his pocket.

“What is this? Did you ask me about my relationship with Tania?“ ask Romeo.

“Finally you feel curious,” said detective Egan.

“Oh of course. I was laid off in front of my own house and you asked me about Tania, how I was not curious,” Romeo said.

“Three days ago, we found Tania Akbar on one of the hills,” detective Keiko said.

“Then?“ ask Romeo again.

“Maybe you can tell us what next happened!?“ detective Egan is trying to extract information.

“Don't mess with me. I ask you, why so you invite me to play guessing.“ There was clearly anger on Romeo's face.

Detectives Egan and Keiko exchanged glances and detective Egan said, “we found him dead.“

Romeo seemed to freeze, his face looking pale as if not a single drop of blood flowed through his face.
