Before leaving, they threatened: "Beware, lest we report Demat."
A few days after the incident, the name became the talk of theentire Pitung Kebayoran. However, Pitung undaunted and remain calm. It does not even shy away if anyone asks him about the incident.
One day, Mr. Piun told the Pitung sell goats to Tanah Abangmarket. Mr. Piun was in need of money to meet family needs.Pitung brother went to the land of the two goats to sell it.Unbeknownst to the Pitung, it turns out there is one person's menwho followed him since Babah Liem leave home earlier. Until nowPitung bathing in the river and the ablution, Babah Liem's men hadstolen money from the sale of goats from his pocket a diletakkaknon the riverbank.
At home, the Pitung very shocked. Because money from the sale ofgoats was not in his pocket again. With a grunt he returned to theTanah Abang market and looking for someone who had stolen his money. After conducting an investigation, he found that person.People were gathered in a coffee shop.
