Murderer

CHAPTER 29 - The Traitorous Mask (Revised)

Image managed to prove that Bara is innocent, he managed to obtain CCTV footage that escaped from investigators and the recording could help Bara prove his alibi.

Today Bara was finally officially released unconditionally. Image picked up Bara himself, he was still curious about what this doctor said while still in custody.

The image of Bara glancing at the seat beside her, the curiosity of this man's words some time ago forced her to ask on the way, "Are you sure he's Earth?"

"I told you yesterday that I'm not sure yet, but if you don't act fast, I'm sure I'll fall victim again. If not me .. yes ... Mr. Freddy."

Bara said that while looking straight at the streets, he seemed to be thinking about something. Inside Bara's head this time — of his childhood memory was twisted back as if a movie projector was rewinding everything that happened until he was in Benedict's orphanage.

The trip home after the Bara school holidays became a disaster for his family. Their car was in an accident due to a blong brake and resulted in both Bara's parents in critical condition.

The seven-year-old boy stared cluelessly at the white-clothed men who went back and forth to his father and mother, while he could not find them. Little Bara still does not understand what is going on. Why are both parents fitted with so many cables and beside their beds there are strange machines.

The long biip sound of the machine next to his mother was heard, and made the doctors rush to help again, but they finally gave up and could only shake weakly. Not long after that — the same sound was heard from the machine on the right side of the father, the doctors also tried to save his father's life — but failed as well.

Bara's shoulder was patted by several doctors in the room, one of the female doctors hugged her and rubbed Bara's back. While this little boy still does not understand if his parents are dead.

The bodies of his parents were covered in white cloth, Bara was silent, he was perplexed to see everyone in the room looking with a look of pity at him. Some of them were whispering, glancing at him, perhaps they were astonished that Bara had shed no tears at all. In the mind of this boy — his parents are asleep due to illness.

The boy's eye bead read the nameplate of the building similar to the church building before him. Benedict's orphanage, he read the sign in his heart.

Because there are no relatives who pick up Bara — then he was forced to be entrusted in an orphanage by police officers. Despite the many questions on his mind, little Bara still followed the police officer in silence.

"Isn't an orphanage just for kids who don't have parents?" bara asked suddenly at the officer who drove her.

Hearing the innocent question of the little boy, the face of this police officer groaned, this officer stroked the top of Bara's head while smiling. He is forced to lie to Bara, "The old man Bara-kan is still sick. So ... Bara lived here first until father and mother healed. Ok?"

"If the fathers are healed — Bara can meet them, right?" Bara scouts the officer with her, feeling the man today is lying.

Hearing the question, this attendant could only bitterly smile without daring to answer.

Three years ago Bara lived in this home and slowly she began to understand that her parents would never return. In the first months he had difficulty adapting, but some of the orphanage children were able to comfort him.

Bumi, Dusk and Raka are children who can be friends of Bara, the four of them always play together. Until the fateful event that befell Dusk occurred, the little eight-year-old girl died of fever caused by an infection in her vital organs.

A month after Dusk's death, a relative of Bara's father came to pick him up, leaving the orphanage. Leaving Bumi and Raka, since then — the last news he heard was the death of Raka and also news about the fire that destroyed the orphanage.

The unique thing Bara remembers about Earth is that the boy had a unique pink mark on his waist. Maybe he can't recognize the face of Earth at the moment — but that birthmark, will never change unless Earth does plastic surgery.

"Group ... The ember! The ember!" The image called for Bara who was daydreaming repeatedly and made Bara flinch.

Rush Citra is already parked in the basement of the hospital where he works, because Bara was proven innocent and only slandered, the hospital did not fire him and allowed him to work again. No forensic hospital wants to lose a job-mad and competent doctor like Bara.

The two entered the hospital and headed straight to Bara's room. The image deliberately kept Bara's return a secret to his colleagues — at least until he was sure of the truth of Bara's remarks in custody yesterday.

"Welcome home doctor stranger." Doctor Rianti welcomed his colleague.

"It turns out you've mastered my throne as long as I'm not around."

Rianti. "You have a long-awaited guest" ridiculed the beautiful woman who is more suitable as a model than a forensic doctor.

Rianti shifted slightly from the side of the autopsy table so that the two bodies of psychiatrists still lying there were exposed by Bara's vision. Without wasting any time, Bara put up his gloves.

"You know .. their tongues were cut off," Rianti said as a child showing off her new broken toy.

Rianti's information makes Citra gasp, a sign of punishment for traitors and liars perpetrated by the psychopath, just as she punished Johan.

Staring at the two bodies, Rianti said softly, "This killer is really sadistic and insane."

"Cit, can you quickly investigate that?" ask Bara.

The image scratches his head which is not itchy, but he has to investigate the thing Bara asked — to prevent his next murder. He also still has the task of finding the psychopath's black civic sedan.

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

Tonight, Charles again sneaks into the mayor's house, because tomorrow is the day of the death of Dusk — sister Earth, the, so they had to make the former pastor pay for his sin which he had not been responsible for twenty years.

The window of Mr. Freddy's office or the ex-priest Ebenaizer that always opens, makes it easier for Charles to get inside. When the mayor realized the presence of strangers in his room, it was too late, because deftly Charles smothered Mr. Freddy with a cloth that had been given tranquilizers.

Charles knew some of the blind spots of this house, because one of them often observed it. Charles' athletic body easily carried Mr. Freddy's old body and stuffed it into his black civic trunk.

The black sedan casually drove through the hallways and small alleys to avoid the highway, the report said, the driver was driving while humming lightly as if he was not carrying the unconscious Mr. Mayor in the trunk of his car. In Charles' finger was pinched by the nicotine loop that he sucked deeply.

Charles sat Mr. Freddy on the bench he had prepared for a long time, he covered the Mayor's face with a black cloth bag. Then he draped a piece of mine tied just above Freddy's head.

After believing the man's position to be safe, he pulled up another bench and sat down before him while waiting for the man to wake up. He whistled, while his hand seemed to wipe a shiny scalpel, until then the man in front of Charles wriggled and showed that he was conscious.

Mr. Freddy's eyes opened slowly, but his vision was faint because his head was closed. He tried to rebel — but he realized when he moved his neck like he was tangled in a rope.

Charles laughed cynically, in a mocking tone he asked, "What would it be like to be in a position of being unable to resist, Dear Mayor?"

"Will you remember the helpless little girl you ran into with the lecherous speedster Johan, until that innocent little girl finally died?!" Charles whispered with a furious tone in Mr. Freddy's ear

"Don't ..don't hold the Pastor's Twilight!" suddenly Charles whined as when Dusk asked for mercy on the orphanage leader first.

This Mayor's body trembled, he had absolutely no idea that his past deeds would give birth to such a crazy monster. If only he had not been tempted by the lust of seeing the beauty of the eight-year-old girl first, had he not ruined the little girl's honor, all regret was in the mind of the former head of the parlour.

"What do you want?!" mr. Freddy asked furiously, he was still trying to fight the human-shaped monster before him.

"You're not in a position to negotiate mayor!" This time Charles was really angry with the haughty and innocent attitude of Freddy E. This yosef.

"I want to play a little with you, like you used to play us a lot. Now I'll give you a chance to escape — if you succeed, then hand me over to the authorities, but — if you fail, you should ask for forgiveness at Dusk in nature there!" Charles' lips continued to rumble while removing the ties on Mr. Freddy's feet and also wrapped the rope around his neck.

Charles then let the old man escape. But the bond of Mr. Freddy's hands and his head are still closed making this man difficult to determine the direction. Occasionally his legs bumped and almost fell on the unkempt yard.

He could not scream with his mouth still smothered in duct tape, only able to keep running and running. The location of this orphanage is quite far from the city, this building was deliberately built on the location of the hills, even the distance with the residential area was quite far, too, so — is no wonder if all the bad happenings in this parlor, can easily be hidden.

The old leg was tired of running, the dark atmosphere of the night made him even more difficult. Mr. Freddy took refuge behind a large pine tree, and tried to untie his hands.

The rustling sound of faint dry leaves was heard from a distance, the footsteps were accompanied by a humming that he often sang first when playing hide and seek with his orphanage children.

"I know you can hear me

Open up the door

I only want to play a little

Ding dong

You can't keep me waiting

It's already too late

For you to try and run

I see you through the window

Our eyes are locked together

I can sense your horror

Thought I'd like to see it closet."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Mr. Freddy decided to run again and look for another hiding place while still trying to untie his hands.

It worked! He cried out in his heart for breaking his bond. He also took off the cloth covering his head and ran back towards the path.

His eyes were staring at a light from a distance. Car light! He waved his hand for help, finally the car approached and Mr. Freddy could breathe a sigh of relief because he felt safe now. Right now, he just had to ask this person to escort him to the police station.

Mr. Freddy's face grew excited when the car door opened and saw the driver was Banyu Aji. He also told me about the chronology of his abduction.

Banyu Aji nodded in understanding, he then asked Mr. Freddy to take him there, to the location where the Mayor was held and the white Pajero stopped behind a black civic. Under the pretext of not knowing the place — Banyu Aji asked Mr. Freddy to come down and he guaranteed the safety of this Mayor.

Upon arrival at the warehouse where he was held — they both saw a man wearing a black mask, strangely he was not at all surprised to see the arrival of Banyu Aji. Beyond a doubt the look in the eyes of the man even sparkled happily and took off his mask.

"Until when are you going to keep playing around like a kid!? What if someone else found it, huh?" Banyu Aji rebuked the fervent Charles while scratching his cheek with the back of a knife in his hand.

Charles laughed loudly, he lightly said to Banyu Aji, "I knew you were on your way here, so I played around with him for a moment."

Banyu Aji snorted in annoyance, he then pushed Mr. Freddy towards Charles. The Mayor looks very helpless, especially when he is shocked to see who is really the mastermind of the serial murder. He did not expect the figure behind the name 'Man of the Hand of God' that the police hunted.

Banyu Aji's involvement also makes Mr. Freddy weak. He resigned back to being tied to the bench, where he sat when he was first taken by the kidnapper.
