Night Police

Chapter 11 Nina's Search

Two days later, when we went to see him, Herman was slashing the grass in his yard.

As soon as he saw us, Herman immediately told his wife to make lunch.

I said don't bother, we just want to talk about Mina.

His wife looked at me blankly so I thought for a moment and said, "In 1995, your daughter Mina disappeared, did she forget?"

Herman immediately grabbed his wife's hand and said, "You're quick to buy two bottles of liquor in the supermarket."

I was a little surprised because Herman waved his hand and told us to go inside the house.

Upon entering the house, Herman lit a cigarette and said that he was not Nina and knew nothing.

This was beyond my expectations, I immediately asked, where did Nina go?

Herman said: "We divorced shortly after Mina disappeared, and I don't know where she is now."

At that time, Nina took out all the family money for the sake of finding Mina but she found nothing.

At that time Herman was young and determined to give birth to another child, but Nina still wanted to find Mina first.

Even the furniture sold out still no news about Mina, Herman felt it was not good to continue living like that and said something to Nina to make the two of them fight.

When Herman was angry to beat Nina to make Nina leave the house and never came back again.

I asked Herman, does he know about the identification of the victim's body from the police?

Herman said he knew about it because village officials told him to go to the city of Bogor that his daughter had been found.

He went to Bogor and did DNA tests as well, but the Public Security Bureau told him that the DNA did not match and the body was not Mina.

Herman didn't lie because I've seen the identification records of the body and it's been taken away by someone else.

I kept chatting with Herman and felt no need to be suspicious of him anymore.

As I was leaving, Nando suddenly asked if there had been any information about Nina lately?

Herman slightly insulted Nina by saying that the woman was wild and did not know if she really went to look for Mina or not.

I felt something in Herman's words and sat back down to ask, what do you mean by "Wild lady"?

Herman was stunned for a moment then he quickly reacted back while laughing out loud and said forget it.

I said it can't be forgotten just to tell us or you still want us to come back here looking for you again?

Herman said, actually not something important, Nina used to be a "Woman of the night", we met in the foot washing service room.

Hearing him I was a little disappointed and told Nando to leave.

Herman wanted to drive us home so he took his jacket off the hanger.

At that very moment, Nando rushed to pick up the cigarette butts on the table and put them in his pocket.

I smiled, thinking the boy was smart enough.

  On the way home, my mood was not good.

Judging from his height, appearance and speaking accent, Herman was far from the target of this case.

And also the disappearance of Nina, where is she now?

We returned to Jakarta and immediately contacted the Bangka provincial police office of Agau city to find information about Nina.

But when it was found that Nina's name turned out to be an empty account, her name was on the local area list but the person was not known where she was.

But Nando also found a record of Nina's temporary residence management list and also her identity card number as well.

After examining the general platform the public only found one piece of information regarding Nina.

The platform suggests that Nina was involved in a theft last year.

Nina takes out the address book of the Public Security Bureau and discovers that the police in charge of the theft case are Easter.

After calling Easter, he said he forgot a little unless he went back to the scene.

I said it's appropriate that we leave now because all the information about Doni's death points to the Lotus road.

The village of Kora Jalan Teratai is located on the outskirts of the city of Jakarta, although it is called "in the city", but the area is not really in the city even located on the "City border" between Jakarta and other cities.

The village was far from the city, and only a few people came here.

But because of these few years Jakarta is doing development around the city makes this kind of village look prosperous .

Transportation is quite comfortable, the price of cheap houses, and many migrant workers who rent a place to stay here.

The town originally had less than 10,000 residents, but is now estimated to be about 100,000 foreigners.

Full of houses that are built illegally and scattered in a mess and do not waste a little empty space.

Lotus Road No 1197 is even more hidden, if Easter does not take them they may not find it.

When we reached Lotus Street number 1197, we found a woman who had just opened her grocery store looking at us with a nervous and confused expression.

After explaining our purpose, the owner of the building continued to complain and thought that the tenant was in trouble again.

When Nando asked about the theft case, the woman who owned the building without much thought continued to say no memory.

Feeling that he was deliberately lying, Nando also spoke in an angry tone.

But the woman who owns the building is also grumpy, and replies that the place has been a frequent case of theft in the past year. What are you guys working on?

Nando's expression changed, I quickly patted him on the shoulder and glared at the building owner's woman.

The owner of the building also felt that he had gone too far and did not dare to look at us.

I asked, on January 9 last year, Do you remember the theft that happened here?

After thinking for a moment he said he did not remember it because there were too many items stolen.

I asked, has anyone by the name of Nina ever lived here?

As soon as the woman heard the name "Nina", she immediately said, "Damn, of course I remember the woman.”
