PLAN

"You mean, we're visiting the Yeo family's House?" asked AKBP Bayu. Buana nodded his head, "not as a police officer, we use Takeda who does not speak Indonesian to act."

Hearing Buana mentions his name, Takeda, who from the beginning only listened without understanding what was being said, immediately frowned.

"Me? What happened?"

Yongseng seemed to be aware of Takeda's presence in their midst. He laughed, "I'm sorry. Therefore, learn Indonesian, so that you can understand what we are talking about," Yongseng said in English to Takeda.

The young man of Japanese descent just pursed his lips exactly like a woman who was angry at her lover to make Buana smile.

"He doesn't speak Indonesian?"ask AKBP Bayu at Buana. Buana immediately shook his head to make AKBP Bayu pat his forehead.

"I have plans to investigate Yeo without arousing suspicion," Buana said. This time he uses English so Takeda can understand.

"What's your plan?" asked Yongseng.

"They have several resorts and villas also in several tourist cities in Indonesia, we can say that Yongseng is my best friend who came from Hong Kong. Say that you are interested in investing the inheritance money you just received."

AKBP Bayu frowned, "is it not better to say that they are my nephews, Buana? I don't think that would make them suspicious."

Buana just chuckled," I thought you'd mind, " he said.

"Of course not, I have said that I am personally interested in this case," replied AKBP Bayu.

"How Is It, Takeda? You ready?" asked Yongseng.

"Yes, obviously I would. You can rely on me for undercover business," Takeda replied as he patted his chest proudly.

"He is better suited to be an actor than a policeman. It was a little brainwashing, I guess. If his brain was sane, he would have become an actor," said Yongseng, this time in Indonesian.

Buana and AKBP Bayu couldn't help but laugh at Yongseng's words. Indeed, when viewed, Takeda is too handsome, his clean face and always trendy appearance do not show that he is a police officer. People will think he's a model or an actor.

"What are you saying, Sergeant?"Takeda asked Yongseng.

"I'm just saying you're good at disguise," Yongseng replied.

"Ah, Well, thank you for your compliment, Sergeant," Takeda said with a flushed face.

The four of them also discussed what they would do when they visited Yeo's residence. After that, Yongseng and Takeda immediately said goodbye.

"Where are they staying, Buana?"asked AKBP Bayu.

"My house, Sir. If possible, tomorrow I permission to deliver Sergeant Yongseng to Cirebon, to visit his mother, " said Buana.

AKBP Bayu nodded, " well, as long as Sergeant Yongseng is in Indonesia, you will be in charge of everything."

"Yes, Sir."

"If you're dealing with another case, have someone else handle it. Don't get your hands on it. You just focus on this case first, " said AKBP Bayu firmly.

Buana immediately stood up and saluted formally as a sign that he would obey all orders imposed on him.

Out of the room AKBP Bayu, Buana brought Yongseng back to his home first. "We're going to Cirebon tomorrow, have you given the news to your mother?" asked Buana. Yongseng shook his head, "surprise, mom will be surprised if I suddenly return to Indonesia," Yongseng said.

Buana only smiled, Mrs. Yongseng was the older sister of her late mother. In the past, yongseng's mother got into a student exchange program and met Yongseng's father in Hong Kong. In short, they fell in love and got married in Indonesia. After that, Pratiwi, yongseng's mother lived in Hong Kong.

Lui Shau Lee, yongseng's father was a tough police officer. He died because he was killed by some Hong Kong mafia that has a strong network. At that time, Yongseng was only 16 years old. And, on that fateful night, Yongseng and Pratiwi were not in Hong Kong. So that when yongseng's father was killed in their house there were no other casualties.

The case of Lui Shau Lee's death was never completed. It is not clear who killed him. It must be admitted that the Triad network in Hong Kong is very difficult to investigate. Until finally the death case was closed after a year the killer seemed to disappear swallowed by the Earth.

The Hong Kong Triads are a 'very local' mafia group with its rituals and rules. They usually run extortion under the pretext of protection, prostitution, and petty drug dealing—they are not international organizations but their presence is very real in some areas.

There are several triads in Hong Kong, but the famous ones include, 14K, Sun Yee On, and Wo Shing Wo. The Triad is a hierarchical organization, with strict procedures, and lifelong companionship.

When recruited, the newly admitted members will undergo a ritual. Generally by cutting off the head of a chicken and dripping its blood into a cup whose contents are drunk in turns. New members also have to listen to the triad rules that the triad officials read.

When it is done, they are usually naked or half-naked because they have to forget their previous identity to join a fictitious family whose members are all relatives. Once a person enters, he can be there for life.

That is why Yongseng decided to become a policeman following in his father's footsteps. He wanted to reveal the murder of his father. Pratiwi chose to return to Indonesia when Yongseng insisted on staying in Hong Kong.

Pratiwi never forgot the day she returned to Hong Kong and saw her beloved husband in the coffin. He could not forget, and Pratiwi felt unable to stay in Hong Kong.

Usually, Pratiwi would visit Yongseng once a year as well as visit her husband's meal. But it has been the last three years that Yongseng has always returned to Indonesia.

"Are you still investigating your father's death?" asked Buana. Yongseng nodded, " yes, even I've managed to find the culprit."

Buana widened, "then, you're not trying to reveal the case?"

Yongseng chuckled a little, not a happy laugh, but a laugh mixed with sadness. "The killer was my father's best friend, his partner in the police force. When I found out everything, he took his last breath. Another Triad member killed him in the hospital. My father found out that his best friend was a member of the Triad. That's why he was killed."

Buana took a deep breath, he could understand how his cousin was feeling. "It felt so stifling, imagine all these years I've been telling him about my father. I always said I'd find the killer. But at the end of the day, the person I was looking for was right in front of me."
