After the incident, Ismail leaned toward Inspector Hashim and whispered:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld2JmXuqHS
"Why did you make a convict like him a police officer?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutCyeqtlOR
Hashim let out a deep sigh.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaNnAsjGp9
"Because he has an extraordinary intellect, Ismail. It would be a waste to let his talents go unused."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLwhObjDvE
Then the inspector added:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xAEsXFFds
"And starting today, he’s your investigation partner for the Kampung Mesra case."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJubPEd06Se
Once again, the station erupted with noise.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aQmhubxmy
"Why pair Detective Ismail with a murderer? What if that convict causes trouble in the village?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdJwLMsl1d
Inspector Hashim shouted over the chaos:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUSIX5mP0
"Enough! Calm down!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiORXvTA6q1
He stared at each one of them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrNTK3lnjZ
"Asaad is human... just like us. Don’t judge him solely by his past."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceT8iBQC2l
Silence filled the room.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd4u8FWoZx
Hashim then led Ismail and Asaad into his office. There, speaking in a quiet voice, he whispered to Ismail:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxoIO27LX
"I know he was once a murderer. But he’s still human. It’s just... there’s one problem — he changes when he sees a lot of blood. Asaad has two personalities. And when there’s too much blood, the other one takes over."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjZHdJyMCH
Ismail was shocked to hear that.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGkv9yz6nk
"I only ask one thing from you, Ismail. Watch over him. Don’t let him sink into that other side of himself. Maybe... just maybe, Asaad can help you find out who killed your wife and child."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQUHq4WcNI
Ismail fell silent at those words.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcIjnUfmR5
After that, Inspector Hashim began explaining what had been happening in Kampung Mesra.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjR69Y26sx
“Kampung Mesra. Recently, we received messages and photos from an anonymous sender... claiming that many deaths have occurred there. But strangely, not a single official report has been filed by the villagers.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhznUcffUnf
Ismail examined the photos one by one — all appeared to be sudden, unexplained deaths.
But what disturbed him most were the faces of the deceased… all showing an expression of overwhelming terror.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrJdxspHEf
He looked through the photos again.
An old man lay on the kitchen floor — his eyes wide open, as if he’d seen something horrifying before dying.
A teenage girl was found by the river — her face pale, lips blue, and scratch marks visible on her arm.
The third photo showed a young woman collapsed in her living room, her hands clutching her chest tightly, as if trying to protect herself from something invisible.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JEMiA1c2g
“Their faces... it’s like they saw a ghost,” Ismail said quietly.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjt91XfwM
Hashim nodded.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqbcdQsqSo
“That’s what’s bothering me. All these bodies were sent by the same person — the anonymous sender, ‘Anonym’.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyMSVlegnL
Asaad remained silent, quietly watching, a faint smile still on his face.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zOyYjdax2
Hashim continued, “I want both of you to head down to Kampung Mesra. Gather information. Talk to the villagers. But one thing…”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNoUukCqCl
He looked directly at Asaad.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdRa5FmUur
“Don’t let him see too much blood.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV0sKULTAe
Asaad simply shrugged.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLftYrktR
Ismail remained silent. In his mind, questions twisted and tangled.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWKhLuT9Nj
Who really is Asaad?
What exactly is happening in Kampung Mesra?
And how could he help me find who killed my wife and child?
