"Angrian .... Andrian? What's up?" ask for voice on the phone. "Andrian, are you still there?"

"Yes, yeah. Sorry, Rael. I just panicked. Sorry huh?" Andrian was running out of ideas. He looks frustrated now. Moreover, he was staring at Haz and the others with his pitiful gaze.

James and Milla giggled slowly. The two of them now knew the grooves that the group of people had built. Great drama skenerio! But, it seems like the group will fail. Deceiving professional con artists is not as easy as they think!

"Yes, maybe you're busy Andrian. I'll turn off the phone first, okay?" said Rael. The woman hung up with Andrian.

"Save the sound recording!" shout Haz, "Soon, Andrian! Soon!"

Andrian who got a call from Hazelia Lify immediately hurriedly kept the recording of his voice with Rael. A minute later, the man saw their phone was gone, only stated YOUR CALL HAS BEEN DELETED BY THE CALL CENTER—YOUR PHONE CONVERSATION HAS BEEN DELETED BY KORAN—as if they called just to keep a variety of secrets only.

"Return the tape," Haz's pinta. This time he tried to control himself to be calmer.

Andrian carries out Haz's orders. He had no idea what the girl had found, but, he was sure that she must have found a very important clue regarding Raphaela.

"Stop." Haz closed his eyes. "Repeat."

Andrian repeated the phone footage, puzzled by what Hazelia Lify had discovered.

"Stop." Haz opened his eyes slowly. That's her! I already know! I found out who Rael is. Who would want to harm Whisky Woods, and the man who made Richard Vinzeliuka lie in a hospital bed like this! Wait for my revenge, Miss Professional Cheater! You will regret having dealt with me! thought. He smiled gleefully. Ah .. I think I should go out for the wind. The woman got up from her seat, then peeked out from behind the window. Lots of taxis and cars passing in front of the Hospital. But, his gaze was only fixed on one person, a woman across the street there.

Bingo! Got you! inner Haz pleased. He then put his foot on the bathroom floor. "I go first! My bladder almost ruptured ...." He shouted to everyone in the room. Then, exit the patient room occupied by Whisky Woods and Richard Vinzeliuka.

Jel also comes out of the patient's room to accompany Haz. He was at least calm about leaving Haz alone. Considering Haz is the softest target. Even though he knew his best friend had a thousand and one ways to avoid death, he was still not calm. Hazelia Lify is smart. But, in the eyes of Liulaika Jelkesya, that woman was still a careless person.

"Jelkesya .." decak Haz resentfully found Jel following her.

"A reckless person like you scares me so much, you know?" Jel stared intently at Haz while puffing her cheeks in annoyance. She doesn't want to accept any rejection from Haz right now.

"Yes already. Promise to stay by my side. I could be overwhelmed saving you if you get caught by a giant. And I hope that you will obey my requirements on that one," urged Haz, resigned with the stubbornness of his best friend.

"I'm not as reckless as you, Hazelia Lify baby .... I promise I won't burden you with my being by your side" Jel assured Haz that he won't be a burden.

Two people who were very familiar to Hazelia and Jelkesya, stepped foot in a hurry on the floor of the Hospital corridor. They both look panicked. They are Rika and Riko Vinzeliulaika, Ric's twin sister. None of them realized that Haz and Jel were there, staring intensely at the two of them. Then, ignore it.

"So, I'm really curious, Hazelia Lify ...." Jelkesya again balances his steps with Haz. He had a confused expression on his face.

"What are you confused about, Liulaika Jelkesya?" ask Haz.

"Em .. for example, why did you suddenly say you wanted to go to the bathroom, when you found the suspect" replied Jel. He has absolutely no understanding of Haz's mind now. Wouldn't it be better for him to be inside a patient's room than to roam freely in the corridors of a Hospital like this? The situation is already crowded. However, still crime can occur among the crowded human race without being predicted.

"Really! You're correct. Indeed, I would rather be in the patient's room than take a walk like this," said Haz, "later you will also know why, why I walk like this. Also, why would I prefer to wander around in the corridors of the Hospital, looks as if it's ready to deliver my life to Thomas Bara. Trust me, Liulaika Jelkesya, being in a patient room is as bad as wandering around the corridors of a Hospital like this. It makes no difference."

"I don't like to play guessing, Hazelia Lify," Jel said in annoyance.

"I can't tell you right now, Miss Liu. I don't want to destroy this drama right now. I clearly know who poisoned Ric. I also clearly know who controls Thomas Bara now. But, this drama ... too few can be the evidence! In other words, let me convey this to the police, they won't arrest without sufficient evidence and victim information. Ric hasn't realized, even if he's aware he can't speak up for a few weeks. The poison fortunately did not damage his vocal cords. He had only a slight leak in his stomach, so by the time he regained consciousness, he had to undergo surgery to patch up the stomach. And during that time also he should not talk too much, let alone be questioned at length by the police."

Haz took a breath after blabbering at length about why he did not want to say who did it to Jelkesya. He continued, "The point is, I haven't been able to tell who before the evidence I've gathered is enough. You must know what I'm going to do, don't you, Liulaika Jelkesya?"

"You mean ... You want to be a 'Vil Trace Seeker'?" ask Jel. He was stunned when Haz nodded his head as a sign that he was going to do something crazy.

"Life Hazelia!" the woman whispered to her best friend, "You're crazy! You don't know the risk of being a 'Vil Trace Seeker' is so dangerous! Do you still love your life or not?!"

"Oh, obviously I'm still very and very dear to my life. I'm just harnessing the potential I have." Haz smirked sweetly.

Thirty minutes later ...

Haz jumps down from the roof of the house inhabited by the Vinzeliulaika twins. As a 'Vil Trace Seeker', he must be extra careful in carrying out his duties to achieve his desired goals. There was no one in the house, pitch black, considering that the Vinzeliulaika twins were busy 'watching' their sister at the Hospital. Lights all over the house were extinguished, except for one room.

Haz peeked into the room. Behind there was a candle burning on the wooden table. Next to the table, there is a sofa. On the sofa sat a burly man known to Haz as Thomas Bara, who had just broken through the door of his apartment this afternoon.

You must be wondering how Rika and Riko make such a great scenario. Given Rika is at Ric's house to launch the action and Riko who is in the parking lot of Haz's apartment to monitor all their activities. Especially about the phone with the same number, but the voice of the caller is a little different, is not it?

The answer is very easy. Haz had thought about it thirty minutes before, while he was in the Hospital and walking around, wandering around with his best friend, Liulaika Jelkesya. Nothing is impossible in this world—nothing is impossible in this world—even to solve the puzzle of a, rather, two professional con men like Rika and Riko Vinzeliulaika.

Haz crawled back up on the roof of the Vinzeliulaika twins' house. He lowered his phone down, using a nylon thread linked between the phone and his hand, trying to keep it stable right in front of the window of the room occupied by Thomas Bara. After waiting for about seven seconds, he pulled back a nylon thread to get back his phone before Thomas Bara noticed a camera that captured an image of him.

Before Hazelia Lify visits the home of the twins Vinzeliulaika ...

Haz's fingers moved quickly over her phone screen. He pressed the call button when he found the contact he was looking for: Help Me!

Jel, who was accompanying Haz, also followed her ear to Haz's cell phone.

The tet! The phone was picked up by the guy across there. "Hello?" It turns out to be a teenage girl. She sounded really annoyed that Haz called her.

"Hello, beibih!" greet Haz in his alay style.

Jel who was next to her felt nauseous after hearing a Hazelia Lify speaking in alay. He never imagined that. What he knows from Haz is that he is very cold and flat, does not hesitate to criticize others, and is too rational and radical. Looking at Haz like this with her own eyes and head, she felt the urge to pummel the woman.

"Oh! Hi, sweetie." His tone instantly changed one hundred and eighty degrees after recognizing the voice of the person calling him.

Jel gave up on hearing their talk.

"okay! I won't mince words, sweetheart. I want you to provide me with a casual suit for battle right now!" yelled Haz with a serious look.

"Sweetie, who do you want to go to war with?" ask the voice across there. Sounds very spoiled and .. a little disgusting.

"Oh, not a heavy enemy. Just a Thomas Bara and four little rats. The three little mice I'm talking about, are like professional swindlers. One more mouse was behind them, very closed and protected," Haz replied.

"Good job! When are you coming here?"

"Five more minutes I'll be there, beibih. Soon yes!" After answering a question that the person across the phone asked, Haz immediately closed it.

Haz looked up at one of the windows in the Hospital building. He could see Alkaf who was staring at them and hinted to return soon. As Haz suspected, Ric will be transferred to another patient's room. The woman hinted to let the Vinzeliulaika twins just like that.

Alkaf already knew a lot about Haz: why he left the patient's room, because the twins would go in there. And, the bespectacled man knew soon that a Hazelia Lify would be acting dangerously.

From the other patient's room, Haz, Rika and Riko are staring at him and Jel. Haz ignored their gazes, as if seeing nothing. He got up from his seat and said to Jel, "Let's go back to the patient's room!"

"Eh? But, don't you want to go somewhere?" ask Jel. He is confused by Haz's mind. He followed Haz until he got to the front door of the hospital lobby.

"The distance of the house I was going to was very close" replied Haz. He pointed to a house with a fence and a light green door that was very bright and painful to the eye. Very showy.

"Eh?!"

"I will not take action without careful preparation" Haz said triumphantly, "now, you go back to the room and I'll gather evidence that will destroy the little rats that dare to play the role of criminals."

Jel doesn't find Haz next to her anymore. He disappeared like the earth. Habits! decak Jel was upset in his heart. He immediately returns to the patient's room to tell the others that Haz is in a stomachache— which no one will believe, except for the fool who cooperated with Thomas Bara and his master.

Haz, without knocking on the door of the striking green house first, went straight into it because he knew the house was not locked at all. He glanced back at the window of Richard Vinzeliuka's new patient room and found no signs of anyone else there. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Welcome!—Welcome!" exclaim someone.

Haz was used to it, so he wasn't surprised.

The light is opened a second after the word "welcome" is pronounced. There was a teenager on the phone with Haz.

"Hello, sista. It's a suit that suits you and a bag that will be very useful in your 'looking for evidence' mission, '" the teenage girl said.

"Thank you, Zenneth!"

And after that, thirty minutes later, Hazelia Lify was already on the roof of the Vinzeliulaika twins house ...
