Interrogations began.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAvfYrxoAKoE
I watched from the other side of the one-way mirror as Martin questioned Ravana, Babu, and Moli.
298Please respect copyright.PENANA6W9dvzcxpM
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."
298Please respect copyright.PENANABu8u97bDDf
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.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAFTs32UfG0H
Then came Ravana.
298Please respect copyright.PENANABbqFyLuAZj
And with her... the truth unraveled.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAmKvqNVld4I
> "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."
298Please respect copyright.PENANAwIJWQNF8Rh
She paused. Her hands trembled. Her voice cracked.
298Please respect copyright.PENANA13YUJfH9Q9
> "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..."
298Please respect copyright.PENANAdKrrKr7ji0
Tears poured down her face.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAcC34DxoLwQ
> "Every second down there... still lives inside me. Then, on April 12th, 1983-a detective broke in and saved me."
298Please respect copyright.PENANAKlVI1L6w9y
Her voice broke again.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAdfhr2vluid
> "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."
298Please respect copyright.PENANAq5KuCz9QJe
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.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAccOnMcCWqY
> "She didn't want to stay. She was looking for help... but never told me what for. She met Moli and then... left."
298Please respect copyright.PENANAsDGjajqc25
She had given her the Bukit Bintang address.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAWMp7u80kLp
And now... Shabana was gone.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAoxuf9NYcH4
The room fell silent.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAcJg1sFHWMW
And so did the air around us.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAfN2yqMf9S9
The truth was bleeding in slowly.
And somewhere out there, evil was still watching.

📍 Kedai Mamak Husin, KL
298Please respect copyright.PENANAYtsmvZWKF9
Martin and I were having lunch, discussing the case and trying to figure out what came next.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAFeu1242TlA
That's when the unexpected happened.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAOagIsvM4Zs
Martin's phone rang.
It was a cop from Penang. Ajay.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAATm60pWGwa
He had seen the news about Shabana... and wanted to meet us.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAW5Xc5qXZ75
"There's something I think you both should know," he said.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAmorZDZQr5X
Without hesitation, we packed up and hit the road.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAgELVulmX88
📅 21 June 2027
🕛 Thursday, 8.15pm
📍 Ajay's House, Jelutong, Penang
298Please respect copyright.PENANACZg5CRMuaf
Ajay welcomed us in. Polite. Sharp-eyed. Sincere.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAcQgEHqreUH
"My father," he said, "was Detective Kannan-the man who captured The Slayer... Shabana and Ravana's father."
298Please respect copyright.PENANALoS1J3jvjU
He told us Kannan was now bedridden, surviving his final moments after a massive heart attack. He was staying with Ajay's elder brother.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAaCEMzI3WGW
Ajay continued, his voice low with emotion.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAkpm8Y2m304
> "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."
298Please respect copyright.PENANARmzRuLrM7i
298Please respect copyright.PENANA24hRg4Ilnp
But just a few days later...
Detective Kannan discovered something.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAMDPWxsY9JI
He found photographs.
Photographs that shook him to the core-hidden in the Slayer's basement.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAVAOm8GqAHh
Ajay said his father never revealed what those photographs showed.
Only that... they were related to the girls.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAvYlt90oeZS
And now, with Kannan possibly in his final hours, there might still be answers left to uncover.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAnZHtvTpMFo
We were ready to visit him.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAZpfa38mMHw
But just then, Ajay's phone rang.
It was his elder brother.
298Please respect copyright.PENANAuTkEwGpjZ2
There had been an emergency.
