Murderer

CHAPTER 26 - Doubt (Revised)

Silent.

The atmosphere inside Faisal's avanza was grim, they were both equally dumbstruck considering the explanation of Indahsari earlier. The image submerged the face with both of his palms.

"We're meeting Bara!" take Image to Faisal.

"Ta—but, could it be Bara?" faisal asked nervously.

"We will get the answer after confirming Bara's alibi for the murders and kidnappings!" firmly Citra. "At least we won't doubt him."

Avanza was finally headed to the hospital where Bara worked with a feeling of not being careless, they still have to carry out their duties. Inwardly, they hope that the Bara that Indahsari means is another Bara.

Faisal parked his car in the parking lot of Bhayangkara Hospital, these two people were not ready to go down, there was still a moment of doubt that appeared in their hearts. However, the task is still a task and they must make sure their doubts are not protracted until finally they can suspect Bara.

"The coal! You're under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder of Mr. Freddy E.Yosef!" firm Image when entering the Bara workspace. Bara's eyebrows rose next door, he was greatly shocked by his sudden arrest.

"Tu—wait! This prank way of yours is not funny! You're kidding me, right?" tanya Bara doesn't believe.

"You can explain in the office, all the information you say can be used as evidence in court later. You have the right to be silent and accompanied by a lawyer!"

"Cuff him!" image Order on Faisal.

"Sorry, Bar! I have to do this!" regret Faisal while attaching handcuffs to Bara. They take Bara to the police station to be interrogated as the suspected perpetrator of the serial murder. On the way, Bara kept quiet, she felt very shocked by the accusation. I don't know what's going on with this case, why is he getting dragged into it?

Is it because I'm one of the Benedict Orphanage children who doesn't dare to open my mouth about the cruelty and depravity of the caretakers, that psychopathic lantad made me his target too? The mind keeps raging.

"What basis did you catch me on?" tanya Bara finally, if you can be honest — she feels betrayed by her two friends.

The image did not answer, nor did Faisal. But Citra's finger thrust a photo of Bara's father's scalpel, Bara's gaze full of questions when receiving the photo and with both hands handcuffed.

"I—ini ...." Bara stared at Citra and Faisal alternately, he asked for an explanation of the object in the photo.

"Yes, that's your father's scalpel .." said Citra. Bara fell silent, he began to understand now why they suspected him. But he should explain about the knife at the police station later.

Faisal's car stopped inside the office yard and they took Bara into the interrogation room and left him for a moment. When alone in the room — Bara buried his face between his arms. Sometimes he banged his head slowly on the edge of the table, he did not expect to be a suspect in this case.

The ringing sound of the door of the room was heard as Faisal and Banyu Aji entered, Bara's eyes changed when he saw not the image with Faisal.

"Bara Brother? Bara Aldebaran, is that really your name?" banyu Aji asked starting his interrogation. Bara nodded answering that question.

"Do you know this scalpel?" banyu Aji asked again showing the scalpel that was inside the clear bag.

Bara's eyes glanced at Faisal who was busy typing on the laptop. "The knife belonged to my late father" Bara replied.

"Where were you on the night of Mr. Freddy's attack? Two nights ago" continued Banyu Aji.

Bara seemed to remember his activities that day, he scratched his temple that did not itch. "Two nights ago, I had my day off. So I stayed all day at home and drank beer alone" Bara said.

"There's a witness who can corroborate your statement?" cecar Banyu Aji again.

I heard Bara breathing slowly. He already knew there would be this question and he had no witnesses to corroborate his statement, he shook his head weakly answering Banyu Aji's question.

"If I were a suspect, you should have solid evidence. Not just this scalpel! Besides I haven't seen this knife in a long time since my father died. Wasn't the police handling my father's suicide?" bara Syndir.

Banyu Aji smiled sinisterly. "We will definitely get the proof, the ownership of this scalpel is enough to make us able to hold you!"

......................

Bara curled up in the corner of the cell, he still did not understand the situation. "Bar!" faisal's voice shocked him.

He looked up to see Faisal. "You didn't find any evidence, did you in my apartment?" ask Bara expectantly.

Beyond a doubt, Faisal lowered his head. His friend did not answer at all.

"Sal! Answer me!" bara Urk.

"Sorry, Bara .. All the evidence was found in your apartment. A knife that has traces of Johan and Valentino Arthasena's blood. Then the mine used to strangle Kinanti as well as Bella and the bottle filled with arsenic liquid used to kill Andre, everything we found in your apartment!" faisal lirih replied.

"You better confess, who knows it could ease your punishment."

Bara's knee is limp, he's sure he's being framed! There must be something wrong with all this, why could the things he did not know were in his apartment.

"Then we have proof of booking the funeral wreath you sent to Kinanti. Also—"

"Do you want to take disciplinary action for leaking an investigation to a suspect!?" reprimand Banyu Aji suddenly.

Seeing that, Bara feels that he had met Banyu Aji long before this case, but he does not remember where. This man made himself feel very uncomfortable.

"Ready! Sorry commander!"

Banyu Aji approaches Bara. "All the evidence points to you!" he said with a mocking tone. Bara did not react, he chose not to fight Banyu Aji which would complicate him later.

Faisal and Banyu Aji leave, sitting in a corner of the cell thinking about how to get out of this prison and looking for the real culprit.

...-----------------...

The door finally opened, and Charles gave a sly grin. That night, he sneaks into this quiet apartment — his owner is being held in his place. The plan they put together went very smoothly, Bara is the next target.

"Bara Aldebaran, one of the cowards of Benedict Orphanage. Unfortunately for him adopted by the family of doctors who trade the baby." Charles murmuring.

He inserts a plastic mine that he uses to strangle Kinanti and Bella in a Bara desk drawer carefully. Then he kept the knife he used to cut Johan's tongue and stabbed Valentino in the kitchen cabinet drawer, after which he left the photos he took while stalking his victim in the Bara nightstand drawer.

Charles swept across the corner of the apartment with a satisfied look. He deliberately handed the accusation to Bara, while he was free to hunt down his last prey, the Mayor!

"That guy deserves to be dessert, doesn't he, Dusk?"

The next day — Citra, Faisal and Banyu Aji also searched Bara's apartment and found all the objects that Charles left there, reinforcing the police assumption that Bara was really the culprit.

When he was interrogated again, he insisted that he was being framed. However, because the evidence points all to him, he cannot maximally defend himself, Bara chose to ask for the help of his family lawyer. He was detained and waiting for his case to be submitted to the prosecutor's office, Citra is still not sure about Bara's arrest and he feels there is something odd about how easy the evidence they found.

As he was thinking, he accidentally saw the same force jacket as his on one of the seats in the room, Citra checking the buttons of his arms, still intact. He breathed a sigh of relief, Citra did not want to suspect her division teammates.

"Commander!" Faisal surprised Image.

"I am still not sure that Bara is the man of God's Hand ..." he wrote. The image sniffed his shoulders, he actually also wanted to believe that Bara was not the culprit. However he was several times unable to prove his alibi, and the killer's weapons were all found in his apartment.

Faisal sat on one of the chairs, he crossed both arms behind his head and looked straight at the ceiling of the room.
