The Police
Chapter 11's

Pradif took off his hat and replaced it with a police cap. The man was wearing his big uniform.

When he came out of the dressing room, some policemen who saw him raised their hands in honor. Pradif did the same thing with a smile.

Meanwhile at the police station, Regitta looked anxious. He had to think carefully about what he would say later.

Bayu and Tiva are tired of waiting. Fernan had already consumed 3 cups of coffee.

"Did that jerk not come?" Ask Bayu.

"Macet?" Fernan asked back.

"The police chief is not there, we are free to interrogate him" Regitta said.

The police car stopped in the courtyard. The four people in the room turned to the window. They saw Pradif in his uniform get off the car with Wildan.

"Yes, there's no police chief not here, because he's with the killer" Bayu grumbled.

"Why is he wearing a police uniform? Does he want to step up or attend a funeral?" Grutter Fernan.

"Welcome to my office, you can think of it like your own office."

Pradif smile. "Thank you, Mr. Wildan."

The four policemen stood at the door to greet Pradif. Wildan and Pradif's steps stopped.

A sharp look was shown Regitta on Pradif.

"Hey, Miss. Is not my position higher than yours? Where is the salutation of formality?" Ask Pradif to Regitta.

Fernan and Bayu are very upset to see the attitude of Pradif, even though there is a police chief there. Tiva looked at the man with a flat gaze.

Seeing the tension that was about to begin, Wildan let out a long sigh. "You talk casually, I'm leaving."

In the interrogation room,

Regitta was sick of seeing Pradif's face. "Komjen, can you take your hat off? I'm so sick of seeing it."

"Well, you dare tell your boss?" Pradif throws his hat at Bayu who is standing behind Regitta. Bayu immediately caught the hat.

Regitta. "You're not my boss. This is my superior county office, not your county office."

Fernan and Tiva watched from outside the room while wearing earphones to listen to their conversation.

"Oh, so this is the killer's real face?" Regitta smiled mockingly.

"I'm here at the invitation of the police chief. Though considered a suspect, treat me politely."

Bayu rolled his eyeballs.

Regitta shows Haris and Erwin's photo on Pradif. "You're a cop, you know what I want. Confess."

"What's the evidence?" Ask Pradif.

"Our partner saw your face at the scene. You also have a gunshot wound to your foot, just like the killer," Bayu was itching to talk.

"just that? How can you be a cop, if you're recklessly accusing like this?"

"I just want to know, why did you kill them?" Ask Regitta.

Pradif just stared at the two photos. "I want you to reopen the case of Jidan Anggara, and I will testify, including the deaths of these two men."

"We don't accept your terms." Regitta was very upset.

Pradif brought his face closer, leaving Regitta confused. The man whispered, "Case 4 years ago, you were already a police commissioner back then, did you manage to catch the killer?"

Regitta. Bayu glanced at Regitta.

"That case is closed, *******!" Regitta Snap.

Bayu, Fernan, and Tiva were stunned, as Regitta was suddenly enraged.

"Commissioner Regitta, you should understand. What you do with what I do is not much different. It even seems like you are more," said Pradif.

No one understood the man's words. Maybe only Regitta understands.

The woman shifted her eyes. There's a clear grain in his eye patch. "Sir Haris, Mr. Erwin, and Mr. Dani are good cops. Of course it's different."

Pradif grunting. "Ah, I need a cigarette, is there no cigarette here?!"

"Police should not smoke while on duty in the office" muttered Bayu.

"Hey, this is not my county office, nor am I on duty." Pradif took out his match.

"By the way, I want to meet your partner who said he saw my face at the scene" Pradif said.

Tiva and Fernan replace with Regitta and Bayu. Both entered the room. Tiva sat opposite Pradif.

Tiva gave Pradif a cigarette. Of course Pradif accepted it.

"Ah, I really like this girl. You're very sensitive." The man lit his cigarette. Cigarette smoke billowed in the interrogation room.

"36B" said Tiva.

Pradif. "What?"

"An answer to your question on the phone."

Pradif just remembered. She looked at Tiva's breasts. "Ooohh, but it doesn't seem so."

There was no response from Tiva.

"And the other number?" Pradif's gaze down.

"I'll help you open the case of Jidan Anggara, if you give me all the information you know" Tiva said.

Pradif's expression turned serious.

Regitta was very upset by Tiva's sudden decision. Regitta held the earphones in her ear. "Don't make a decision! You need to talk to me first!"

Tiva removed the earphones from his ear. "How is Komjen Pradif? Do you want to work with me?"

Regitta grunts.

"Why do you want to do this?" Ask Pradif.

"This is my Papa's last request. Let's smash those fucking gangsters together." Tiva extended his hand.

The man looked at the girl's hand. "Heh, I can do it myself without your help, Miss."

Tiva pulled back his hand.

The four policemen drove Pradif to the front of the office. Fernan glanced at the expressionless Tiva at all since the Commissioner General came.

Pradif extended his hand to Tiva. "It's nice to meet you."

Tiva did not accept the man's hand. Pradif pulled the girl's hand so they shook hands.

Bayu glanced at Tiva and Pradif alternately.
