Interrogations began.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA85E0KT0wSn
I watched from the other side of the one-way mirror as Martin questioned Ravana, Babu, and Moli.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxDwhYZ8A3f
Babu seemed clueless.
He didn't even know Ravana had a twin sister.
He met Shabana only days ago when they all returned from a magic show tour in Europe.
"She was kind," he said. "You could feel the warmth in her first impression."
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5rcLTlIKhL
Moli echoed the same.
She met Shabana once-on the first day.
Shabana had performed a small magic trick for her.
She made a paper flower appear from thin air.
Simple. Sweet.
That was the last time Moli saw her.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAhovJe9vxX4
Then came Ravana.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXbNn1lTWg0
And with her... the truth unraveled.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkRli0VNcw6
> "After our parents divorced... Shabana stayed with our father. I was raised by our mother. But she fell sick and died soon after. I had no choice but to go back to him."
325Please respect copyright.PENANAriwfi3gVjf
She paused. Her hands trembled. Her voice cracked.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKVPRVieKMD
> "I found... photos. He was a monster. A killer. He took photos of... of what he did. He found out that I knew. He cuffed me. Locked me in the basement. For three days... he tortured me. I was just a girl..."
325Please respect copyright.PENANAROxCka2oLu
Tears poured down her face.
325Please respect copyright.PENANATBj91mVkQ9
> "Every second down there... still lives inside me. Then, on April 12th, 1983-a detective broke in and saved me."
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9dS13bsJlw
Her voice broke again.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEuAcyOW9BQ
> "They sent us to our aunt. Shabana stayed for a while... but she couldn't bear it. She left for Penang. She never contacted anyone again. Until last week."
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFP4bSzT6lH
That week, Shabana came back.
Ravana's eyes sparkled for a moment as she recalled the joy of seeing her twin again after so many years. But it faded just as fast.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIvwByn3UXX
> "She didn't want to stay. She was looking for help... but never told me what for. She met Moli and then... left."
325Please respect copyright.PENANABnOY4nUvyy
She had given her the Bukit Bintang address.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5nvA9PmFKO
And now... Shabana was gone.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAQ23yMNzoMT
The room fell silent.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAwyZbDKGhKI
And so did the air around us.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtKkiYTzmSu
The truth was bleeding in slowly.
And somewhere out there, evil was still watching.

📍 Kedai Mamak Husin, KL
325Please respect copyright.PENANAjwkKC7SjCW
Martin and I were having lunch, discussing the case and trying to figure out what came next.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUvV9rVuXIa
That's when the unexpected happened.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsxYHV9Olsb
Martin's phone rang.
It was a cop from Penang. Ajay.
325Please respect copyright.PENANASmB5NEKY1I
He had seen the news about Shabana... and wanted to meet us.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAig2NjWb3g6
"There's something I think you both should know," he said.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFeuVLzmgBE
Without hesitation, we packed up and hit the road.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVKKESCmZhm
📅 21 June 2027
🕛 Thursday, 8.15pm
📍 Ajay's House, Jelutong, Penang
325Please respect copyright.PENANACVzKf9a1gw
Ajay welcomed us in. Polite. Sharp-eyed. Sincere.
325Please respect copyright.PENANANcKn4yzQ3N
"My father," he said, "was Detective Kannan-the man who captured The Slayer... Shabana and Ravana's father."
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3ws5twSfmW
He told us Kannan was now bedridden, surviving his final moments after a massive heart attack. He was staying with Ajay's elder brother.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAqX5xyz96d6
Ajay continued, his voice low with emotion.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAMdKdqbljo9
> "That case... it haunted him. The Slayer targeted people who became famous in the newspapers. That's how they caught him. But... my father always felt sorry for the girls. He handed them to their aunt."
325Please respect copyright.PENANAQcBUhoQNgt
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8sBOHcjwfV
But just a few days later...
Detective Kannan discovered something.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4hyZOBTEJ2
He found photographs.
Photographs that shook him to the core-hidden in the Slayer's basement.
325Please respect copyright.PENANASc82k4tcgq
Ajay said his father never revealed what those photographs showed.
Only that... they were related to the girls.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfO8V6wbVAw
And now, with Kannan possibly in his final hours, there might still be answers left to uncover.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxwM3ngYYKB
We were ready to visit him.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJLRgFQyMlV
But just then, Ajay's phone rang.
It was his elder brother.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAN7S1mvQoUX
There had been an emergency.
