Murderer

CHAPTER 30 - The Psychopath (Revised)

The police team arrived in front of the rubble of the orphanage that was the beginning of this bloody event. They immediately surrounded the area and headed to the warehouse to rescue Mayor Manggala who was being held hostage by two psychopaths.

The image entered the warehouse, but— the place was empty, he combed every corner of the room every inch carefully. Suddenly, an officer found a door with no knob between two large shelves and pushed the door open, revealing the street as a dark, narrow hallway with only one adult.

They entered the hall in a line, Citra was at the front of the line with a weapon that stood alert and also a flashlight in his hand.

At the end of the hall, a dim light began to appear, Citra ordered her subordinates to be careful. He stepped forward slowly and the first he saw were two men with their backs in the narrow hallway, as well as the figure of Mr. Freddy who was tied to a bench.

The image pointed at his gun and shouted, "Don't move!"

The two men gasped, one of them holding his arm and holding a gun to Freddy's head. The image of disbelief in his vision, he was a little unsteady looking at the figure that was pointing at their Mayor's head with the weapon.

"That's Banyu Aji! What are you doing!?" The image snapped at Banyu Aji, his co-worker from the Manggala Police.

Banyu Aji did not publish Citra, he instead put the cold weapon on the temple Mr. Freddy. "Stay there and put down your weapons or I'll blow this hypocritical bastard's head off!"

The kidnapper wearing all black clothes walked slowly towards Citra by brandishing a dagger with a type of trumpet. However, the man's movements were a little strange, as if he was trying to hold his left hand to move.

Is one of the personalities of this person trying to fight against his evil person? The image wondered inwardly as it shifted bit by bit looking for an opening to attack Banyu Aji.

"Commander, get out of here! It's dangerous here!" The voice ... The image recognized Faisal's voice.

With reckless Citra approached the figure of the kidnapper and pulled the mask, Citra's legs felt limp seeing the person was his subordinate. "Fa—faisal?"

The image is limp, the body shakes and his hands go limp, until the weapon he holds falls out of his grasp. The kidnapper quickly grabbed Citra's weapon and unexpectedly fired a bullet at Banyu Aji but missed.

This made Banyu Aji angry and he also fired his weapon at the head of Faisal or Charles. The man fell instantly right in front of Citra's feet.

"Aarrggghhh!" The image lost control and saw Faisal lying lifeless before him. He took the weapon from Faisal's hand which fell drenched in blood, then shot Banyu Aji in the head. But Banyu Aji also managed to pull the trigger of his weapon before finally he also fell drenched in blood.

The hot lead hit Citra's chest, the shootout scene killed the two psychopaths and left the female inspector in critical condition.

Who would have thought it turned out that the two of them had been working together, Banyu Aji helped Charles the evil alter clean up the remaining crime scene. Cufflinks found near Angelica's body are no stranger to Citra. The jacket is only given to those who have high points in the test shooting, Citra just remembered on the way if Banyu Aji is one of them.

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

Faisal was an alter from Earth who was the second adopted son of psychiatrists James and Agustina, later it was discovered that Bara's father's scalpel was stolen while in the evidence storage room by Banyu Aji.

Later, they use Bara's father's scalpel to obscure the investigation, while the real weapon is Agustina's scalpel which turned out to have been an obgyn (a gynecologist) but was fired because of illegal abortion cases.

Banyu Aji is Faisal's best friend during college, they have the same dark background from Benedict's orphanage with a different story. Banyu Aji was sold by Reverend Ebenaizer to human traffickers and suffered torture before he was helped by a wealthy grandfather in Malaysia.

He was schooled until he was High School in Kuala Lumpur, but ethics passed — he chose to continue his studies in Indonesia. Banyu Aji comes home with a vengeance and is determined to avenge all his childhood suffering to the caretakers of the orphanage.

He also meets Faisal at a university, initially — friendship with Faisal slowly makes the grudge Banyu Aji evaporate. However, when he learns of Faisal's true figure, the grudge of Banyu Aji's heart returns again and becomes even greater after hearing the heartbreaking story of Faisal's original personality, Earth.

The more familiar he is with Faisal, he has a chance to enter into the life of his best friend, he is increasingly surprised when invited to visit Faisal's house which can be said to be quite luxurious. It is not how lavish Faisal's house surprises him, but rather when he finds out who Faisal's adoptive parents are or Earth.

Still fresh in the memory of Banyu Aji when held captive by Reverend Ebenaizer before he was taken to Johor. A young woman in pain in a dirty hospital bed saw a female doctor who she now knew as her best friend's adoptive mother, he was doing something to the poor young lady.

Not long after, a lump of red meat seemed to move into the grasp of the woman's doctor, Banyu Aji who was still a child, did not understand anything. Until he grew up, he realized — psychiatrists were only a cover for Agustin and James, they run illegal abortion practices to cover up the practice of prostitution of minors in this orphanage.

"Aunty, has aunty ever cared for children who experienced violence in their childhood?" banyu Aji asked Agustina, when asked to have dinner with Faisal's family.

The woman glanced at Banyu Aji with a cynical look. "Depending, Aunt often runs voluntary checkups for street children as well as orphans."

"What does the aunt think about orphans being sold to people under the pretext of adoption, and then the child being violent?" Banyu Aji asked again guiltlessly casually, as if he did not know the ulcers of these two people. Social work? Hmh! the sound in the heart.

This time James looked at his son's friend with a slightly emotional gaze. He had not liked Banyu Aji, since this young man often he pergoki observing every corner of his house.

"It's been their fate, being an orphan means no one is protecting. Should the child be grateful, if anyone wants to adopt it, even though the adoptive parents are rude — they should be able to accept it. Or maybe it's the child who has to be better behaved so as not to get rough treatment from his adoptive parents." Agustina's cynical answer made Banyu Aji's blood boil and glanced at the rowdy psychiatrist couple cynically.

Their friendship tightened when Banyu Aji escaped to become a police officer, his brilliant achievements made him immediately placed in the Manggala Police Station. Seeing the success of Banyu Aji — Faisal also decided to follow in his footsteps, despite having to go through a heated debate with his adoptive parents.

One day, Banyu Aji finds Faisal is not as usual, he is more grumpy and rude. It was there that he knew that his best friend had an alter filled with vengeance like him.

Charles, he's rude, impulsive and merciless. When the alter appeared, Agustina and James would lock Faisal in a room and put him in bed.

Two years had passed since they were both official, becoming policemen. The secret about Faisal's illness was that only the two of them and his parents knew, let alone so far, in the line of duty, he said, faisal's mental state is stable, although sometimes the Earth appears when he is investigating a case related to sexual abuse of minors.

Before getting to know Faisal, Banyu Aji continued to look for where the orphanage administrators were, because when he arrived in Indonesia — only the building debris he found. His search continues to lead him to meet with Faisal and one day he hears the story of the Earth.

Heard the story of how Bumi's sister was abused by the Reverend and the gardener of the home, until the little girl died. It raises one idea in Banyu Aji's mind and incites Earth's impulsive alterman Charles to go out for revenge.

She then gave an address to Charles that she obtained with help from someone and said it was the address of Sister Sandra in Faisal's first year officially becoming a police officer.

That's when the first revenge killing happened. Then they carried out the revenge plan that had been drawn up. Of course Banyu Aji was only cooperating with Charles, he was just an ordinary policeman when he was meeting Faisal.

Banyu Aji who sent documents about Raka's death to Citra, he also arranged a Bluemoon hotel booking and framed Johan by asking him to rent an SUV. All goes on the scenario of Banyu Aji and Charles being the executor. The reason they trapped Bara was because she left Earth and Raka when they both lost Dusk.

Then the death of Earth's adoptive parents, because they heard he and Charles were planning the murder of sister Grace. It turns out that the two psychiatrists already suspect that their son is the perpetrator of the murder of Sister Sandra. As Charles becomes more active since Earth gets along with Banyu Aji, Faisal's figure only appears in the moment he has to work.

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

The day before the shooting.

His two colleagues suddenly went missing and did not enter the office, Citra looking for Faisal to his apartment. But there was no one there, then he tried to contact Banyu Aji, but — of the man's phone was out of reach.

The case of the mayor's abduction horrendous the entire city of Manggala. How not, Freddy is known as a clean and kind mayor, so much help he gave to the poor people of this city, even though they do not know the ulcer of the man who was hailed. The loss of the Mayor was like bringing grief to the entire city.

Bara has confirmed that Faisal is Earth, and armed with a search warrant — Citra broke through, entered Faisal's apartment with the help of security.

The image ransacked every corner of this not-so-large apartment, all seemingly ordinary. He also found the same jacket with his own with a different button motif. He had no idea that Faisal was also a master of shooting, as the rank of the man was one level lower under Citra.

He revealed all the clothes in Faisal's build-in closet, the view of Citra was fixed on the doorknob hidden behind the clothes. He opened the door and found a small room without furniture behind the door, there was only one large mirror and coat hanger located in the corner of the room right next to the mirror.

The image found a light switch, when the five-watt fluorescent light was on. His eyes widened in shock when he found a wall full of photographs of the murder victims, including a photo of him and Bara.

His body was shaken when faced with the fact that the perpetrator they had hunted so close to him, he did not want to believe that the sadistic psychopath was Faisal — his teammate. But the evidence before him now compels him to immediately request an arrest warrant for Inspector Two of his division.
