Interrogations began.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutnRUUjq5J
I watched from the other side of the one-way mirror as Martin questioned Ravana, Babu, and Moli.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3AfP2kS4s
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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8NFtwOljf
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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FBYiWHEh
Then came Ravana.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbURIceBAIC
And with her... the truth unraveled.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwOagtzrGk
> "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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH3WyuZ0tg
She paused. Her hands trembled. Her voice cracked.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BfQsZBZv8
> "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..."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM76JE0XUez
Tears poured down her face.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbRsGMLlE
> "Every second down there... still lives inside me. Then, on April 12th, 1983-a detective broke in and saved me."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7kN7uH0Zy
Her voice broke again.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSpmN1yEnH
> "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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgTIt4ea74
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.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxwKYTrlMO
> "She didn't want to stay. She was looking for help... but never told me what for. She met Moli and then... left."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzpBv8ktFR
She had given her the Bukit Bintang address.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj8zrtzyRR
And now... Shabana was gone.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37cljAbT3d
The room fell silent.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ynYD0Wiw
And so did the air around us.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oa0yFz1RK
The truth was bleeding in slowly.
And somewhere out there, evil was still watching.

🕛 Thursday, 3.45pm
📍 Kedai Mamak Husin, KL
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7hZSrmzMC
Martin and I were having lunch, discussing the case and trying to figure out what came next.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJinnQB78ax
That's when the unexpected happened.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ZCCsRwmU
Martin's phone rang.
It was a cop from Penang. Ajay.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR05bE6Dft
He had seen the news about Shabana... and wanted to meet us.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh6Ray9MYM
"There's something I think you both should know," he said.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKHeVup6f7
Without hesitation, we packed up and hit the road.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpMCuhvbLu
📅 21 June 2027
🕛 Thursday, 8.15pm
📍 Ajay's House, Jelutong, Penang
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvELvdwq97
Ajay welcomed us in. Polite. Sharp-eyed. Sincere.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECAgjMGTsT
"My father," he said, "was Detective Kannan-the man who captured The Slayer... Shabana and Ravana's father."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUwRo9femv
He told us Kannan was now bedridden, surviving his final moments after a massive heart attack. He was staying with Ajay's elder brother.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukCv462Tlp
Ajay continued, his voice low with emotion.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Zv3vSbi8
> "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."
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc4nE6s2v2
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7kJw9Q7MT
But just a few days later...
Detective Kannan discovered something.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyG8WMgYSL
He found photographs.
Photographs that shook him to the core-hidden in the Slayer's basement.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp4pIQKIso
Ajay said his father never revealed what those photographs showed.
Only that... they were related to the girls.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaePCevaAH
And now, with Kannan possibly in his final hours, there might still be answers left to uncover.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FMI86cHjS
We were ready to visit him.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGmlTt7f4t
But just then, Ajay's phone rang.
It was his elder brother.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5XaW0gA6T
There had been an emergency.
