The Long Night of Amelia
Chapter 58: Alibi Bimo

"Jiang,beautiful. How are you doing ? I know who you are, sweetie...Hmm...are you investigating something from me ? You'd better come to this address yourself...I'm only giving you one chance if you want to know...I know what you're looking for from me. And you'd be surprised if you knew the person you wanted to help...and maybe you'll be the first journalist to uncover the case you're looking for..".

A text message was received by Amelia. He seemed surprised to read it. How could this man casually send such a message.

I don't know why Amelia felt stuck with her position. On one side he felt anxious, afraid, wanted to know who actually owned this mysterious number ,he wanted to step down for fear that he had dragged himself into a situation that would endanger himself but he felt it was too much of a responsibility to back down from the case that had dragged him into an uncertain vortex.

This murder case is only published in the print media where he works. In a small column in the newspaper. It doesn't even get much attention from its readers. But, for some reason he feels he has a strong bond with Darsim, the man who has dragged him into the maelstrom of this unfolded murder case.

His feet had not completely recovered, but he did not know what to reply to this sudden incoming message. This is his chance to capture this man and uncover who he really is.Should he inform the Junta of this matter ? Ah...why is he so dependent on that young cop ? But, if anything happens to her only that man might be able to help her. Amelia attempts to weigh in for a moment before she finally reaffirms the mysterious caller to meet her. This time Amelia had planned everything carefully. He didn't want to fail this time.

Bimo looked at his phone screen.It turns out that there have been many missed calls from colleagues. Bimo is busy chasing his target, Misa. She finally ventured to approach the woman directly when her husband was working as a security guard during the weekend. He uses the skills and tricks of a neighbor who wants to get acquainted. After once or twice he made small talk with the woman, he finally managed to get all the information he needed.

"So you're an officer at the famous Tiam restaurant ? Hmm...isn't the news that the owner was killed because he was killed?", asked Bimo starting his conversation with Misa.

" Yes.right bang", said Misa flat.

"You still work there ? not feeling scared ? I mean, is the restaurant still in operation?", asked Bimo, who didn't know anything about it.

"Well..still..fear why ? The demon-dragon ?hehehe ..bang.bang.bang..now the age where there is a ghost like that.after all we have nothing to do with his death.toh we are not the ones who killed him, and we working people need food and other living costs.there is no choice lagilah bang..as long as it is still open and still employed anyway I yes.will still work there...",answer Misa casually while feeding her son who is playing in the field not far from them sitting at this time.

"The mother herself is still working there surely because her coworkers and environment are conducive donk.asy maybe yes...",sahut Bimo attempts to provoke the topic of conversation to move on to something more intimate.

"Hahahaha ..no also bang..my environment is a lot of hypocrites there.actually if not because I need money and looking for a new job is not easy, I might have already left from there...",misa said while laughing bitterly with a satirical tone coming out of her mouth.

"Hmm...is it hypocritical as to how mbak?", Timpal Bimo again ignited the target woman.

"Let's be calm mbak ..I'm a man.again I've exhausted the work did not have time to gossip with the neighbors contracted here...",bimo replied while bringing his face closer as if he was whispering a secret to the woman with a convincing mimic.

"Hmm.munafik tuh for example kayak .. I have a coworker at the restaurant. At first I knew him he looked good, professional and educated, but he turned out to be a petty person. Once I was squeezed in financial problems.Iniat I wanted to borrow at that time with one of my friends in the cashier, but without the knowledge of the owner where I work. I was worried that I had not worked long ago.if I borrowed it from him I was afraid to be considered a debt officer.Eventually I decided I wanted to ask my friend dicashier for help...to give the loan the resto income at that time.and intend to ask him to cover it until the time I payday I will repay it to pay through him.", said Misa. His mimicry of gini turned serious and looked bright.

"....but, my friend Reni, when she found out about it, she advised me to just steal the cashier money and then return it when she had it without being caught by my cashier friend...He said that if I told the cashier part, similarly I was stupid ..toh my friend dicashier is one of the owner's confidants.if I carry out my intentions, then the same is suicide, too, my cashier friend will complain to the owner and make my name much worse .", Misa continued.

"...at that time I believed his words after I thought there was a point.".", his expression this time looked sad and regretful.

"...i ended up unbeknownst to anyone but Reni, stealing money at the cashier's desk..."

"...in the beginning no one suspected ..the cashier part thought he miscalculated the order.but, my increased need for life forced me to steal back and I did it several times...during that time Reni knew it even she supported me..."

"...when the cashier began to suspect the loss of money, Reni seemed to be a hero to me...he suddenly said that he was the one who borrowed the cash at the cashier because of the sudden need where the ATM ran out to make cash withdrawals.so he replaced it through an account transfer.I also survived the allegations...we're finally friends..."

"...but slowly time began to reveal the true form of my friend.he helped me not without cause...he asked to keep his relationship with one of the resto employees a secret when I gap-i was kissing friendly with one of our colleagues at the restaurant as well ...there was no written rule there not to date a restaurant employee, but he told me to keep my mouth shut...because he did not want his relationship damaged with the owner who would choose him to be one of the branch managers for the restaurant that will be opened in Bali ...between the owner and his lover there is an affair.I mean like the owner likes the man who is in a relationship with him .", Misa's words seem between anger and disappointment.

"Oo ..so .", so Bimo chimed in as if he did not know the names the woman had mentioned to him. Although Bimo seemed a little surprised to hear the story.

"What a weirdo ? Reni is not jealous of her lover there is an affair with the owner ?" bimo asked.

" Well, maybe not jealous bang.pastilah he was jealous .. very jealous.but, my friend Reni is not a fool who wants to ruin his career that will soar there...He would rather be quiet and pretend not to know about it...actually he intends to repay the owner by seizing the future all he has and on his lover he intends to break his relationship later and look for another man if he is placed later in Bali..."

"...then from that is bang, I said hypocrites.yah like that example ..yah.maybe in the place where Abang worked too many models so hypocritical and sycophant...stabbing from behind in my opinion.", Misa returned with a furious tone.

Bimo nodded, trying to digest the words of Misa. Until he just realized, do-don't..astaga!! Don't-don't....Reni is the killer of the owner of Tiam's restaurant!, thought Bimo.
