The Police
Chapter 3

Smoke filled the young girl's lungs. Tiva throws the long cigarette into the ground and douses it with mineral water.

The red sports bike stopped in front of him. "Need a ride?"

Tiva turned to him, it turned out to be Bayu. Tiva smiled he nodded. Just as the girl was about to board, Fernan's voice called out to the two of them.

"Hey, you guys."

Both looking.

"What else is it?" Ask Bayu.

Tiva grunted in annoyance.

Fernan pointed to the door. The two young policemen looked at each other.

Tiva and Bayu don't come home, Fernan tells them to picket the night at the office.

"Only the three of us are here?" Ask Bayu.

"There's a forensic team in the lab" Fernan replied.

"What do we do?" Ask Tiva.

"Do whatever it takes, make a job for yourself." Fernan sat down and fiddled with his computer.

The two young policemen did not understand the mind-line of their team leader. However, they did what Fernan told them to do.

"Can't we act fast?" Ask Bayu.

Without turning her head, Fernan replied, "No CCTV was lit that night. I don't know, it looks like these criminals are already planning this murder carefully. There was no evidence, only eyewitnesses. We can only wait for the results of the forensic team."

"His killer may have a personal grudge with detective Haris, didn't he deal with Southeast Asia's biggest gangster group a few years ago?"

Tiva added, "I've seen the personal data of detective Haris. Nothing is suspicious. He has no enemies at all. He's a clean guy, yeah, maybe just a little flirty at girls and likes to go to nightclubs."

Fernan looked at his two juniors. "The problem with the gangsters has been solved since 2010. If this is the work of gangsters, why not kill the detective hariis? Why did 7 years later kill him?"

Bayu scratched his neck.

Fernan looked at Tiva. "On him being flirtatious with women, it's because he's a widower. Going to a nightclub doesn't matter if he doesn't wear his uniform or carry his name tag."

Tiva and Bayu looked at each other.

◈◈◈

The man in the hat justifies his suit. He saw CCTV near the power pole. He shot the CCTV and then walked up the stairs.

A fat-bodied middle-aged man came out of the bathroom with a small towel coiled around his neck.

"It's very fresh tonight. Not in vain I'm on vacation to Bandung."

Someone pointed his gun at the man's waist. He looked in the mirror, apparently the man in the hat.

"Commissioner Erwin, how are you?" Ask the man in the hat.

Erwin moved his eyes to a corner. "I'm not the commissioner. I've retired. Who're you?"

The man smiled. "I killed Haris, now you're gonna catch up with him."

Erwin moved to shake the man's hand.

Prasggs!

The man's shot shot shot towards the large urn in the corner of the room. There was a little fight.

Hearing the noise, the neighbors immediately reported to the police.

At the police station,

Tiva and Bayu who were seriously staring at the computer screen were stunned when they heard the phone ringing.

Bayu immediately picked up his phone. "Police office, can anyone help?"

"Cisampa Road No. 23, Trisula Apartment Building, I heard a gun and there was a commotion in the next apartment."

Fernan and Tiva looked at each other.

The man in the hat slammed Erwin's body into the glass table until it broke. One of his broken desk legs stabbed Erwin in the back to tear his stomach. Red liquid pooled around Erwin's dying body.

"You want to know who I am?" The man in the black hat showed the police name tag. In his jacket.

"You remember? Jidan Anggara?"

Both of Erwin's eyes were wide.

Meanwhile, Bayu drove his car at high speed. The siren light flashed and sounded.

"Hey, you want to scare the killer by turning it on?!" Fernan grumbled in the back seat.

Tiva snorted angrily, he came out of the window holding on to the handle and picked up the siren light.

Bayu looked at Tiva. "Hey! Be careful!"

Tiva threw the lamp at Fernan. The man caught him immediately.

"My feeling is bad" said Bayu.

"Why?" Ask Tiva.

"Doesn't our former Commissioner live in that apartment?" Ask Bayu.

Both of Fernan's eyes widened. "Commissioner Erwin."

Tiva seemed to think. "So... The killer actually targeted the police?"

Upon arrival at the apartment, Fernan and Bayu aimed their gun muzzles in all directions.

"Sir Police!" The person who was reporting immediately pointed out the apartment he was referring to.

Fernan swallowed the saliva, knowing that the apartment did indeed belong to their former commissioner, before the Regitta.

When the apartment door was opened, Bayu closed his eyes while turning his eyes away. He was not strong to see Erwin's situation.

Tiva's waiting outside the car. "Damn it, why are they telling me to wait here?"

Tiva saw someone sneaking up on the roof. The girl knitted her eyebrows.
