The images from The Reflector played on screen-haunting, surreal, raw.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yAIyOwzte
Martin stared silently for a moment before muttering,
"Why won't they just tell us who killed them?"
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMzTzObjd0
But we knew.
Someone witnessed it all.
Someone was there.
And that someone... is very likely the killer.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahItHHnZDd
We drove straight back to Shabana's house to dig deeper.
The Reflector pulsed with faint energy-still holding echoes from that dreadful night. We activated it again.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTj2d52sG
This time, the vision showed the killer holding a rope and a sack-both wet, both chilling.
At that moment, Martin's phone buzzed.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyI8Xn9DPX
It was the post-mortem doctor.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvN6oc3Y0j
The results confirmed it: suicide.
Time of death - 3.45 AM.
No drugs. No poison.
But there was something strange.
The right thumb was missing. Cleanly cut post-mortem, likely with a sharp tool.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPN5YJgloq
Martin stared at the phone screen and said what we both felt.
"That's creepy."

📍 Shabana's House, Bukit Bintang
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9HeJMerjo
Martin switched into detective mode.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio2BToq8w4
Not just a cop... he was trained by his father-one of the finest minds in forensic observation.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYMkR5k2x
For nearly an hour, he studied every corner. No detail escaped his gaze. Then, like puzzle pieces falling into place, the whole picture came together in his mind.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiOUdF7jYe
That night, Shabana was probably sitting at her dining table.
A pen was on the table.
A book-shaped dust mark nearby.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4GL24EPKT
"She was writing something," Martin said. "Maybe... her diary."
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ7YinOYaf
The same diary I saw in my dream the night Shabana died.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGpywS4lu
There was no sign of a break-in.
So, the killer came from the front door.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTLFlxFy5S
That could only mean one thing:
The killer was someone she knew.
Someone she trusted.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVm7UuscfZ
She must've invited them in.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvlcs8oJtc
And judging by the faint scent in the kitchen and the untouched coffee mug, Shabana had gone to prepare a drink-maybe coffee. Then, something happened. Something terrifying enough to lead her to end her life.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M1Ham14FD
It was raining that night.
The killer's raincoat wouldn't have alarmed Shabana.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi6ntEbMug
Martin's theory made sense.
Painfully clear.
Chillingly accurate.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmNNIhq1xa
Martin returned to the station to run background checks on Shabana.
I made my way to the hospital. My father had been admitted earlier, and I needed to know how he was doing.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqnACpvamR
I brought fruits. But... I couldn't bring myself to walk in.
Not yet.
Not like this.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRVIF1ngN4
I stood at the doorway. Frozen.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNtaXxRNXB
Kayal appeared, her expression soft. I handed her the fruits without saying a word. She understood me. Her hand rested gently on my shoulder.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlYd0uvThG
My sister came out moments later with updates on our father's condition.
I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQuWLvu91H
For now, I had to set my emotions aside.
I needed to focus.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oirL0OncE
