Not the Dumpster-in-law
Investigations

When police received an apartment security report about the burning of a car in the apartment parking area, they immediately took action to investigate.

The first step is to temporarily close the parking area so that the investigation process can be carried out more efficiently. After that, they began to check CCTV in several corners of the apartment to look for clues about who the perpetrators of the car burning.

However, while trying to activate CCTV, they discovered that the system had been hacked first. This adds to the difficulty in their efforts to find the perpetrators of the car burnings. Police felt they had to find out who was behind the car fire before something similar happened again in the parking lot.

“We must immediately find who set this car on fire,” the Police Chief told his team. “We need to look for other clues to be able to find the culprit.”

Investigators then began conducting interviews with witnesses who were in the parking lot at the time of the incident. They were looking to see if any suspicious people were seen in the parking area at the time.

“Did anything look suspicious in the parking area at the time of the incident?” ask a member of the investigation team to one of the witnesses.

“I don't see anyone suspicious,” replied the witness. “But I heard the voice of people talking behind my car before the sound of explosion sounded.”

The team of investigators recorded this information and moved further in the search for new clues. They examined voice recordings from CCTV that were still accessible to find out if the voices heard by the witness were clearly heard on the footage.

“Did you guys hear people talking before the sound of an explosion is heard in this CCTV footage?” ask the police chief to the investigation team.

“Yes, the voice was clearly heard on the recording,” replied one of the members of the investigation team. “But his voice is a bit vague, so we cannot identify who is speaking.”

“Can you send that voice recording to the forensic lab for analysis?” ask the Police Chief.

“Sure, Sir,” replied the investigating team member.

After voice recordings were sent to a forensic lab, they found that the voice came from a man who had not been identified. However, they found new clues when they checked the existing bench near the scene.

“We found a number of objects on the bench that could be important clues,” said the team member. “There are packs of used cigarettes, matches, and bottles for the fuel plant not far from the scene."

After the investigation team conducted interviews with witnesses in the parking area, they decided to meet with Abiyasa, the owner of the burning car, to find out if there are things that can provide important clues about who the perpetrator of the car burning.

"Good day, Mr. Abiyasa. We'd like to ask you about the incident that happened to your car in the apartment parking area." Police began interviewing Abiyasa as the victim.

"Good day, Chief of Police. Yes, I am ready to give an answer according to what I know. Is there anything I want to help you with the investigation?" ask Abiyasa cooperatively.

"Yes, we are conducting an investigation into who is responsible for burning your car. We want to know if there's anything that could help us in investigating this case."

Abiyasa nodded in understanding with the intention of the question asked by the investigator.

"I don't know for sure who could do something like that. From the report of the apartment security who had checked the CCTV footage from the apartment, they found that the CCTV had been hacked."

Abiyasa was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking. "I don't know for sure, sir. I rarely interact with people because I'm focused on recovering my wife's trauma health condition."

"Do you have information about people who might be closest, could be friends, relatives or co-workers?" the police again gave questions that could help them to speed up the investigation process.

"Sorry, sir. I don't know because there's no clue whatsoever to suspect anyone."

The police chief nodded his head several times. "alright. Thanks for the information, Mr. Abiyasa. We will try to find other evidence so that the case is resolved soon."

"Thank you, sir. I hope the culprit can be arrested immediately and brought to justice."

Abiyasa deliberately did not want to provide information to the police, because he already knew who actually burned his car. She wants to make her own calculations with her brother, because the one who burned her car was her own brother, Aji.

This Abiyasa learned from his ability to see things, after he held the car wreckage which was destroyed by a fire a short time later.

***

Abiyasa sat at a table in his room, pondering about the car burning. He knew who was responsible, but hesitated to tell the police.

"My own brother burned my car" he murmured inwardly. "There's no way I'm reporting it to the police. I have to make him aware in my own way."

Abiyasa recalled the conversation with her brother some time before the incident. They quarrel about the company's problems and all Aji's misconceptions about Abiyasa at the mall.

"Maybe he didn't accept, let alone happen in a public place like a mall. But it was his own fault, which hit me first."

"I have to face my own brother" thought Abiyasa. "He should know how bad his actions were. I can't let him escape punishment, but I can't report him to the police anymore either, if he can get the ease of being parole."

Abiyasa recalled his vision of the incident in the apartment parking area the night of his car fire. She sees her brother Aji standing behind his burning car, and then runs away as people start coming to put out the fire. Abiyasa felt sad and disappointed to see her brother do such a thing, but she also did not know how to solve this problem.

"I can't talk about it with the police" Abiyasa thought.

"I don't want my brother to go to jail, but he's easily free too. He must take responsibility for his actions, in my own way."

Abiyasa decided to face her brother and tried to talk about the matter. He knew that it would not be easy, but he felt that this was the only way to solve this problem well.

"He can't talk well. Maybe he really likes violence that can make him stale."
