72Please respect copyright.PENANAEvm8SxolNl
Commissioner Fadli: "All the evidence disappears. And witnesses back out."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAGa9BxkRvIh

72Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7vbvvxCLA
Haryono: "The woman in the red jacket!"
72Please respect copyright.PENANAaVLKbDwYpq
Haryono raised his eyebrows and looked more carefully at the monitor.
72Please respect copyright.PENANArhPg95pJSu
Haryono: "Isn't the man with the red jacket woman Burhan, one of our members?"
72Please respect copyright.PENANAVpWzbekeps
Aditya: "Correct! That man is Burhan, one of our officers."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAIL7UfFcLWj

72Please respect copyright.PENANAty2UoR0EpW
Fadli sipped his coffee again, sighing in frustration.
72Please respect copyright.PENANAT7M70673Ib
Fadli: "For the past few years, we have tried to catch Mariana, but evidence always disappears."
72Please respect copyright.PENANALxB9JEmlp3
Aditya: "Mariana is not only cunning, but according to intel, she is protected by powerful people within our ranks."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAe7tEsFQa3P
Haryono lit another cigarette.
72Please respect copyright.PENANATQdTy9xF7E
Haryono: "We must find a way to catch her."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAnjEPiV4dl1
Fadli thought for a moment, still spinning the small pen on his finger.
72Please respect copyright.PENANAmsx7qKUkLs
Fadli: "Let's start with Nagini, the woman in the red jacket."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAwwhYZQfbRo
Haryono: "Don't forget! Burhan must be interrogated as well. Why didn't he report who Nagini is?"
72Please respect copyright.PENANAU6adzyb1Db
Aditya nodded and closed his laptop. Instantly, the monitor went dark.

72Please respect copyright.PENANAiwEAS36Dh4

72Please respect copyright.PENANAYLqT6FR9nH
Satrio leaned back, exhaling.
72Please respect copyright.PENANABBAq3uaxPb
Satrio: "Do you realize, every case handled by Arizal and Diono just disappears?"
72Please respect copyright.PENANAdGNPmqeyXK
Rustam: "That's true, Sir!"
72Please respect copyright.PENANAO7THagXhco
Satrio: "And so far, every officer or team who tries to dig deeper suddenly disappears."

72Please respect copyright.PENANAks3Dr0TwPo
Satrio tapped the table with his finger, sighing in frustration.
72Please respect copyright.PENANA8fQQaHCrov
Satrio: "This will be a big case. But we can't be reckless."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAQnqnpNqr4q
Rustam: "Right, Sir! Arizal has many connections inside the police. If we make a wrong move..."
72Please respect copyright.PENANAWGS2jetITn
Tina: "...we could become their targets!"
72Please respect copyright.PENANAxy9LTrVvFe
Rustam scratched his itchless head.
72Please respect copyright.PENANArEnLORYjeT

72Please respect copyright.PENANAQux6YK4j2a
Tina: "Meaning, we lure them out of hiding."
