Murderer
CHAPTER 31 - Epilogue of Psychopath Revenge (Revised)
The aroma of drugs burst into the sense of smell of the image as soon as he realized, pain and tenderness felt in his left chest. I don't know how long he had been asleep, his tears that never once dripped now flowed rapidly without asking permission.
He had never expected that he would experience such a terrible tragedy. The view of Citra sweeping around the VVIP hospital room, he could see his papa asleep with a tired face on the sofa, while the mother slept with her arms on the side of the bed.
There was guilt and relief in Citra's heart, she felt relieved that the case had been solved. However, he felt very guilty for not quickly realizing about Faisal or Banyu Aji, as he was busy chasing Andrian and Bara.
His mother woke up, he saw their adopted daughter was conscious and then immediately ran to call the doctor. Several doctors came to check on Citra, they were amazed to see the recovering power of this female policeman.
"You're like a cat" sneered an unfamiliar voice at his ear. Sure enough, Andrian emerged from that open door. He placed a bouquet of flowers on the bedside of Citra.
"I barely want to help your operation. But if I do, then I will violate my oath as a doctor," Andrian said still with a cynical tone.
The image just smiled wryly. He was still unable to reply to the ridicule of the anesthesiologist, Andrian then followed the doctor who examined Citra's wounds.
When it was finished, the doctor's entourage passed from there. Stay Citra, Andrian with both Citra parents.
"Your recovery is great" Andrian praised as he examined Citra's infusion.
"When you are close to death because only a few centimeters remain, the bullet can penetrate your heart! You sloppy woman!" Andrian kept taunting his patient.
Constantly ridiculed without being able to retaliate, Citra turned her face away. However he smiled faintly, he was quite happy to still breathe until this second.
An exclusive story about the serial murder case was covered on television screens, just as his papa lit the box. Not only print media, electronic media was busy preaching this, including the resignation of the elected mayor Freddy E. Joseph and he also admitted all his crimes in the past.
The police were in the spotlight, because they were considered not careful in screening new police candidates. The public demanded that screening into the police force be even more stringent, including psychological examinations. DID is a personality disorder that is rarely detected by the naked eye.
Each personality has a different nature and behavior than the original personality, unlike the original person who is unable to remember and feel what his alter ego does, the alter ego, is, they will have memories, pain, trauma, as well as grudges from their original personalities, as they are a form of escaping someone to avoid the harsh realities of their lives.
The image recalls his days with Faisal, although sometimes the person was slow and annoying, Citra was very comfortable working with him.
The door of his room opened, Bara emerged from behind the door with Rianti with a bouquet of flowers and a fruit parcel in Bara's hands. The forensic doctor smiled a big smile, as if he was feeling very happy.
"Well, wow ... Our hotshot female inspector is sprawled right now," ledek Bara recalled a very firm image while on duty.
Behind the dewy oxygen device Citra smiled bitterly, if she could hit the man, she would hit him. Bara, she still felt guilty for not believing this man's explanation just yet.
The two of them giggled heartlessly near Citra. By gathering a little energy, Citra managed to open her breathing apparatus.
"Bar, thank you—if only—the instructions you gave us delivered me to them. So that Mr. Freddy survived .. even though I failed to bring Earth alive," Citra said in a weak voice.
Suddenly what Bara once said came back ringing in his ear.
"I suspect that Faisal is Earth, I just haven't been able to find a way to prove it, but ..to be honest only he has access to my apartment other than myself.
When you said that all the incriminating things I had were found in my apartment, I immediately suspected Faisal was the culprit.
Either he's an accomplice or he's the man the Hand of God."
Bara's remarks brought Citra to risk herself to ask for a search warrant for Faisal's apartment, and it turned out to be true. Inside the apartment was found a photo of Bara as a child.
The case ended in tragedy. But it even further spurred Citra's ambition to solve other cases. He did not want another case closure that was considered trivial, so it became an atomic bomb that was ready to explode at any time.
The police must be more proactive in child abuse cases such as those experienced by Dusk, or abuse cases that are sometimes only considered child or adolescent delinquency. Sometimes small cases like that, able to form a new soul full of revenge and give birth to psychopaths like Banyu Aji and Earth.
Although both his parents asked him to quit the police force, Citra refused. He felt that this was where he should be. To protect orphans and street children who have no family.
...----------------...
The peaceful days of Citra and her team did not last long. They face a mysterious murder case and target a homeless beggar. The bodies were always found depending on the condition of both wrists cut neatly.
Team A criminal division has become a major milestone in the investigation of serious crimes since successfully uncovering the 'man of God' case. However, Faisal's late position as Citra's direct subordinate, was still empty.
Citra itself hopes that nothing will ever replace its position. So he doesn't have to worry about losing a co-worker anymore.
A body has been rediscovered in the outskirts of Manggala. Again the corpse of a beggar and homeless man, his body hanging on top of a banyan tree with two hands tied up. This is the fourth murder.
The cause of death is the same, namely suffocation due to strangulation. But the disappearance of their wrists showed as if the killer was like making a piece of the hand a souvenir. The image returns to the face of a new psychopath, after the cases of Faisal and Banyu Aji.
Team A of the criminal division arrives one new member to replace the late Faisal. A two-transfer inspector from Jogjakarta named Haris, they return in pursuit of a cold-blooded killer who looks like he wants to rid the city of beggars and homeless people.
Just like the typical murder committed by a psychopath. Always neat, organized, no trace. Making the police have to work hard to find the culprit, they are very troubled because this murder is not an ordinary murder.
