Face Poker
Part 9's
Leo stared fixedly at the roses blooming in the hospital garden while thinking about the story of the woman. ‘sial, what is this?’ his mind started to rage.
He ruffled his own hair. He couldn't think how anyone killed the people he killed either. ‘Who wants revenge too?’ his mind kept wondering.
“don't leave your stomach empty and go crazy.” A woman came with a distinctive coffee aroma and was none other than Eliza.
“you're so good.” Said Leo while giving his smile.
“noisy.”
The two of them sat in the garden eating the sandwich Eliza had bought in the hospital cafeteria and they drank their coffee without making a sound.
“how is the autopsy?” leo asked as he walked up to Eliza after throwing away the leftover garbage eating them both.
“like that. If you want a copy, ask Louisa. I gave it to him.” Said Eliza who was still drinking her coffee casually.
“there's something to say?” leo's gaze now turned to Eliza straight and sharp. Eliza swallowed the drink she had just put in.
“why so serious?”
“i'm not kidding.”
“all nothing special other than a few broken bones, a broken throat, some deep wounds. It's just, maybe someone intentionally pushed him down, right?” eliza looked at Leo seriously. Stare no less sharp. They both intimidated each other without words.
“iya.”
“and again it seemed like the old man was drugged with the same medicine as before. It seems he was beaten several times on the face and other parts of the body, because there were some bruises on the face and body. And again maybe he was drugged while drinking alcohol. There's a little alcohol in his blood.” Clearly Eliza, her eyes had released that sharp gaze and looked around looking at the beautiful flowers in the garden.
“what did you do?” leo asked spontaneously and made Eliza's eyes widen in shock.
“you're looking to die, huh?! What are you asking, right?” exclaims Eliza who has been provoked by her emotions while pulling a strong Leo shirt collar.
“maybe you accidentally killed because you want your parents' revenge.” Leo answered without regard to his collar was pulled strong by Eliza.
“ooohh, then what about you? It's not that you can also take revenge easily.” Ask Eliza easily without letting go of Leo's collar.
“kau..”.
“you two stop! It's free for you to fight! I saw you two last night.” Said a large man with a neat uniform attached to his body which was now standing on
in front of them both.
“pak Eza what do you mean? See us?” leo asked, confirming the collar that Eliza had removed.
“you don't know Leo, I'm a neighbor of your apartment that just moved 3 months ago.”
“really?”
“heem. And you know, you were so noisy last night. How many rounds?” ask a team leader from the police, which of course makes Eliza's cheeks turn red and Leo just froze.
“hahahaha, kidding.” His laughter loosened while embracing Leo's shoulder, and at once the atmosphere there changed.
“but seriously, you guys were so noisy last night.” He came back serious. Eliza was getting sick of hearing it again.
“ah, stop!!” Eliza left because she was upset.
“hei El, El, Eliza where are you going? Where'd it go?” ask the man to Leo.
“entahlah, this is because of you sir, beware! Don't touch me, later people misunderstand.” Said Leo while letting go of the man's embrace.
“oh really? I forgot?”
“what did you say?! You should be grateful I came, you guys didn't fight anymore, right? After all for what you guys fight.You do not include the list of suspects.”
“why are you so sure?”
“only with the motive ‘balance’ is not that easy to make you a suspect. And one more, since when are you two dating?”
“so curious are you?” leo asked as he sat back down and was answered with a nod by the man who was clearly 5 years older than himself.
“we are not dating. I haven't even expressed my feelings.” Leo answered casually looking straight without paying attention to the man he thought was his brother sitting next to him.
“you're crazy? You two have dared to relate but are not dating.” Panicked words.
“dia's fine. After all last night was not his first night.”
“so relax you. When was his first night? Don't tell me you did it too!”
“important to you.” Leo's speech made Eza growled beside him to pull Leo's collar.
“just answer quickly!!” said the man.
“iya I did it, it was 8 years ago.”
“you are so crazy Leo! You still think she's okay.It's worth your mom not thinking of you as a child anymore. Haha. Next time you have to express your feelings. Know it? Before your body was chopped up by doctor Panji.”
“have you stopped talking about this. You didn't meet me for this, did you?” leo asked, followed by Eza's grip which began to be released from his collar.
“I want to create a special team for this case. I'm afraid this will continue. You know the five higher-ups of the ocean group?”
“don't ask sis, those who killed my parents and Eliza.”
“you know, in the last 3 months suddenly the five companies that split from his father's company Eliza experienced a drastic stock decline. Finally their leader was depressed.”
“related to this case?” ask Leo in a pretty cold tone.
“not only this, even the previous two cases.”
“who is behind all this?”
“first suicide case Billy Pramono, now the death of Rizky Adiyata, before even the case of embezzlement of funds Hendra Wijaya who has now been charged 25 years in prison.” Evidently.
“hah what? Only 25 years? Not just for a lifetime. So that the old man may become a bone in the prison. And let the other old man stay towards his end.” Leo's touch now really expresses his hatred.
“I know you hate them so much. But I'm grateful you didn't act stupid. Like the person I suspected.”
“you suspect someone brother? Who?” leo asked who was shocked by the man.
“iya, someone. I'll let me know if you're on this team.”
“ya, alright I'm coming.”
