He saw Angelica, his fiancee was squeezed. "Angel ... Angel ..." lirih Valen tried to resuscitate the woman who was beside him.

May 26, 2021

The accident that Valen experienced had a bad effect on his fiancee. Angelica Evany, a thirty-year-old model, she is also Miss Manggala in 2020, this woman is paralyzed. While Valen only suffered a not so severe injury.

Authorities checked Valen's vehicle. It turned out that the brakes were blong and he was driving at a speed beyond the limit, so he could not control the speed of the car and finally experienced tire slippage and then hit the highway barrier.

Valen is still lying weakly in the VVIP room of S hospital. A nurse came into his room and he was told he was going to have a CT scan. So the nurse asked the doctor to take Valen to the examination room.

He prepared a wheelchair and helped Valen sit there, just as Valen was already in a wheelchair, the nurse injected Valen's nape with an anesthetic. He quickly took the son of the sultan of Arthasena down to the basement, and put Valen in a waiting van.

The nurse took off her official clothes and the mask she was wearing, she walked into the motor park, the nurse turned out to be Andre, the bartender and the sister of the late Cecilia. The red Kawasaki Ninja RR then drove away from the hospital basement.

The instructions of the reply letter from the 'Man of the Hand of God', ordered him to kidnap Valen on the twenty-sixth of May in the hospital S. As if the person knew Valen would be treated there.

12 June 2021

Police will officially announce the autopsy results of the body found in an empty warehouse. Bara has successfully reconstructed the face of the body and it will also be released. The sketch of the victim's face looks so familiar that she looks like the face of Valentino Arthasena, who was reported missing in hospital on May twenty-six.

But the family has rectified it, saying Valen was taken to a Singapore hospital. It turned out that the statement of the Artha Group was just camouflage, they were afraid if the shares of their property company plummeted due to the case of Valentino who had been kidnapped while being treated in hospital. Security had CCTV footage from Valen's room to the elevator.

"You must be able to solve the case of the Man the Hand of God, whether he is the hand of God or the hand of Satan. He's already trampled on the police's pride!" bentak Kadiv Reskrim Polrestabes Manggala to Citra.

"Ready, Sir!"

"If you're not good at taking care of this, you'll have to file an apology letter and a mutation to the Police!"

The image came out of the commander's room with a sour feeling. Ever since learning that Benedict's orphanage had anything to do with the case, he had not calmed down at all.

Manggala, Benedict orphanage, February 1991

The cry of a daughter sounds bitter, when she must be separated from her brother. A couple of husband and wife officers from Medan who desperately want to have a daughter, decide to adopt her from the orphanage and separate her from her brother.

The boy they named Citra Deborah, she grew up to be an agile girl figure. But he did not forget his origin at all, he was determined to find his brother who was separated since childhood, when he grew up later. This girl is a smart girl. All of his academic grades were very satisfactory.

Citra grows up and is determined to become a police officer. He is convinced that being a cop will allow him access to his separated brother. However, Citra's desire — was opposed by her adoptive parents. Since their son was already dead while serving in the conflict area, they did not want to lose Citra as well.

The persistence of the image, their hearts were also melted. He was finally able to return to his native land, the city of Manggala. However, when he arrived in this city, only an old building that had burned down was found.

The orphanage was already scorched. The caretakers and their foster children were scattered somewhere and a canned letter containing a document and a note about Raka — twin brother — he received several years ago. Just when he got inside the police.

In the document, Raka is pronounced dead in an accident, the twin sister he left behind, the brother he was supposed to protect. Sister Sandra's note that tells about the chronology of events and their regrets.

Citra was eager to meet Sister Sandra, but it was too late. He was killed before the letter was sent to him.

"Commander!" tegur Faisal saw Citra walking while daydreaming and almost falling from the stairs. The image swiftly adjusted his balance, he saw Faisal approaching.

"If the way is not daydreaming, Ndan!" reprimand Faisal. He only smiled faintly at the subordinate, Citra patted Faisal on the shoulder and went down the stairs. Faisal followed behind him.

"The commander scolded Mr Kadiv?" faisal asked curiously. Helaan breath heavy and long Image quite answer Faisal's question. They finally walked towards the satreskrim room in silence.

"Emergency today!" image orders on its members.

They obediently followed the commander into the meeting room, Faisal was in charge of explaining the details about the Hand of God Man's case. They discussed from the beginning the case of Kinanti, Johan, Cecilia and now the unidentified body of the alleged son of hotel owner Artha Valentino Arthasena.

What confused them was the place where the killed or found dead bodies were very random, only the modus operandi for Kinanti and Johan were the same. But for Cecilia, it was very different, as if it was an accident. The last Valentino was sadistically killed.

The only similarity is only the incision of the Bible verse on the victim's body, as well as the inverted cross engraved on the palm of their hand. The only one who doesn't have an incision in the form of the Bible verse is just Cecilia, is that girl just a diversion?

Their first bright spot was an orphanage that had been closed for a long time by fire, Benedict's orphanage. Some of her caretakers have moved to other cities, some have died, including the late sister Sandra.

"We have to start investigating the caretaker of the orphanage. Don't let your guard down and let down again!" image Order.

If they find one of the caretakers, then he will get the answer to Raka's real death. Team A members immediately rushed to carry out the commanding officer's orders.

"There's a problem, Ndan?" faisal asked to see Citra who often daydreamed since returning from the empty warehouse.

Imagery shook. "Maybe just tired" he replied.

"Don't get sick, Ndan. Later we will lack the spirit of the future," Faisal joked with a light laugh.

Unknowingly, this fragile woman laughed. He punched Faisal's arm, this man was a subordinate who could be made a friend, he always encouraged Citra, his humble nature made team A members comfortable working with this thirty-six year old man.
