Asphalt Edge Empty House

Chapter 1 Bored

"Bruaaaac...!"

The hero slammed the file in front of him. Then rubbed his face, then threw his back on the back of the chair, while closing his eyes.

The wall clock shows at fifteen in the afternoon, towards the afternoon. The hero looked very tired, he kept his eyes closed, until suddenly someone knocked on the door of his study.

"Tok.. Commandant's entry clearance."

"Yes in..!" Eh Siska, please sit down, what's the matter sis?"

A beautiful, short-haired policewoman, standing straight at the door, holding a folder containing files in her left hand.

Wira invited a young policewoman named Siska to sit on a chair, right in front of her desk. After that, the Hero fixes the sitting position, then folds his hands on the table.

"Let's sir, here's a report of the discovery of the woman's body in the dock area's container warehouse. From the officer's report on the ground, there were no signs of violence on the victim's body, just that his body was turning blue and his skin was thin as a mummy."

"Some of the hair is gray, eyes bulging, mouth gaping, and there is a mucus discharge in the lip area that we have not been able to confirm."

Wira watched Siska's description carefully while wrinkling her forehead. It seemed that once the young officer was thinking hard, he tried to process the information Siska gave with logic.

According to his reasoning, Siska's description was odd and unreasonable, while opening the file map that was proffered, Wira continued to listen to what was being reported by his subordinates.

After listening to all the descriptions of Siska, Wira again check the suitability of Siska's report, with the facts, and the evidence found when the forensic team did the TKP.

Again Wira frowned when he saw the photo of the victim, and the scene of the crime (TKP). He read the report in outline, then scratched his forehead.

"This is very strange Sis, in the report said the body just died a few hours ago, but the condition of the victim's body dried up, how could it be so?" even the body hasn't let out a scent like a corpse?" It's really weird."

"Yes sir, even the officers were confused because nothing could be the first clue. No injuries, no identity cards, not even the first witness to find the victim, didn't see anyone at the scene."

"The sniffer dog has also been deployed to comb the area around the port, but the results are nil sir."

"Then what about the cctv camera in the warehouse area?"

"The discovery of the body of the victim, was in the blind spot sir, there were no cameras reaching the area where the body was found."

"Ok Sis, your report I received, while following the progress of this case, check whether there has been a community that reports the loss of family members, the statement said, and send two of our members to the hospital where the bodies are stored, maybe there are already people who claim the families of the victims."

"Each commander."

Siska then stood up, saluted, then turned her body, and went to leave Wira in the study. No activity is done, the hero just silently daydreaming, dropping his head on the table while closing his eyes.

Not feel the time goes so fast, the sky is golden yellow sign soon the sun will start to sink. The hero got up from his seat, grabbed a jacket, and immediately left the empty office room left by the employees.

On the first floor there is still a little activity of police members on night picket duty. The hero went down the stairs while waving his hands to greet them. Two guards stood up saluting, Wira nodded slowly and then stepped foot into the car.

For a moment the Hero was silent in his car, I don't know what was in his mind at that time. After a few minutes of silence, Wira turned on the engine, and the red sedan drove away from the office yard where she was on duty.

While driving Wira play his favorite rock song, occasionally he sang. Before long, Wira stopped at a restaurant in front of a famous mall in the city.

The hero entered the restaurant while observing the surroundings, after a moment of standing looking around, he then decided to sit on the sofa by the window. His burly, muscular hand grabbed the menu book available on the table. The shady eyes of the Spirit are busy paying attention to the list of food and beverage menus offered by the restaurant.

Not long after, a sexy girl in uniform came to the table occupied by Wira.

"Excuse me, can I help you?"

The soft voice of the sweet girl the waiter of the restaurant surprised Wira who, for a few minutes, looked confused to choose the food that was ordered.

"Owh, yes.. I'm still choosing the menu."

"How about squid and shrimp oyster sauce, or grilled gurame fish, fried chicken, or steak, this is the vaforit menu at our restaurant."

Said the waitress girl offering their restaurant's flagship menu. The smile of the cheeked girl was very charming, making Wira so slightly misbehaved, perfume fragrance and her beautiful curves tempted every eye that looked.

"So, what do you want to order?"

"Ehm.. Steak, potatoes, and ice lemon tea."

Said the nervous Hero, shifting his sitting position slightly away from the body of the restorant servant girl who was standing slightly lowered beside him.

"Okay, sir, in a moment's wait, yes, the dish will soon be delivered."

"Thank you."

The words of the gentleman were barely audible. The servant girl nodded kindly, then left from the table where Wira was sitting with a sweet smile on her lips.

The hero breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just been freed from something intimidating.

While waiting for orders to arrive, Wira relax enjoying the music presented by the restaurant. For a moment you can break away from the routine of boring tasks.

Wira turned his face towards the window, the view of the crowds of Surabaya city served beautifully pampering the eyes. The tall building looks solid. Wira washed away in the boisterous atmosphere of night.

Almost twenty minutes waiting, finally the order came. The restaurant maid girl serves steak, potatoes, and lemon tea ice deftly.

After confirming all the orders, the restaurant maid girl gave a check list on a piece of paper, as a sign that the order was served.

"Thank you, ma'am."

After presenting the order, the restaurant maid girl immediately passed from before the Hero. A typical friendly smile was on his lips.

The hero enjoyed the dinner slowly, occasionally his eyes glanced around, before long he finished the last mouthful, and suddenly there was a noise from across the street.

The curious hero with the commotion outside, then rushed towards the cashier to complete the payment. In a hurry he ran across the road to the mall which was right in front of the restaurant.

People are crowded to make the space becomes narrow, Wira tries to break through to find out what really happened in the middle of the mall floor.

"Excuse me, please give way, I'm a cop!"

The hero penetrated the crowd while showing his police badge. The mall visitors who heard the cries of the police, immediately opened the street and made room for Wira.

While walking the hero pulled out the medical gloves from the pouch in his jacket. Arriving in the middle, he saw a young woman lying face down on the floor in a terrible condition.

"What happened, security?"

"Sorry, who is this father?"

"I'm a cop, this is my identification."

"Owh. It just so happens that you're here, we just called the officer to check here."

"So this is the police officer."

"Call me Hero."

"Good sir Wira."

"So this is the chronology of Mr. Wira, I saw this mbak walking out of an outlet, his behavior is a bit strange. He paced back and forth several times from the second floor to the third floor."

"The makeup of his face looked messy, as if he was crying. From his body language I noticed that he was restlessly waiting for someone, or maybe he was upset about something."

"So, maybe he's depressed because he's in a lot of trouble, I don't know for sure."

"But clearly, as I was walking closer to find out what had happened to him, the boy surprisingly arrived at the third floor of the guardrail and then jumped."

"So I didn't have time to get any information about the motive, why did he do all this."

"What was this girl with before, sir?"

"No sir, from our eyes this woman came alone."

Wira pay attention to the security information that becomes the main witness when the event occurs. He recorded all the information, then dug up information from some mall visitors who claimed to see the victim, and then along with the mall employees saw the cctv footage.

While waiting for forensic officers from the police to come to TKP, Wira checked the condition of the victim's body lying covered in blood. The hero takes a photo, hoping to find clues to the victim's motives.

While checking the condition of the body, and taking pictures with a phonsell camera, the focus of the hero suddenly diverted to a tattoo on the shoulder of the victim. The tattoo is a little covered in hair.

The woman brushed the victim's hair with her heart. His left hand pulled the collar of the shirt, in order to take a picture of the tattoo on his shoulder. It turned out that it was just a star tattoo with a white dot on each end.

There is nothing special that can be made evidence of the beginning as a clue to the reason why the woman ended her life. While standing away from the corpse, Wira muttered half a whisper.

"Actually what has this girl experienced until she desperately took her own life?"

The hero continues to think about the girl's motives while checking the victim's belongings which are only a small bag with a wallet inside.

Minutes later officers from the city police arrived at the scene along with ambulances. Wira had a brief conversation with the team who did the TKP, he also gave some additional information, then permission to leave the location, with a note that will be willing to come to meet the call of the investigator, if the information is needed.

The hero returned to the restaurant's pakir yard, then rushed in the car, and immediately gas-fired towards the house. All the way home, Wira continued to ponder, she was still thinking about what had happened today. In his heart he hopes to be able to resolve the case immediately, then pull out of the routine as a police officer.

An hour later Wira had arrived in front of the fence, she was about to get down from the car to open the turnstile, when the corner of her eye caught the shadow of the woman from the rearview mirror. The hero fell silent, his eyes focused on the rearview mirror.

"Damn.. That was real or just my imagination?"

"Hem.. Maybe I'm too tired, so my imagination floats on weird stuff."

The hero patted his forehead a few times then quickly got out of the car and rushed to open the turnstile. Had felt there was someone else watching, Wira hurriedly brushed aside her feelings. He got back in the car and parked the car in the garage.

Before getting out of the car, Wira idly noticed the rearview mirror. Sure enough, Wira saw the figure of a woman sitting in the passenger seat right behind her.

The hero was surprised, his hair shuddered, his neck felt cold, while his body felt stiff unable to move, he closed his eyes while convincing himself in the heart.

"OKs.. It's not all real, you're just hallucinating, the ghost doesn't exist!"

The hero cultivates courage, then spontaneously looks back. And empty, there's nothing in the back seat, really empty. The woman breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the car.

The wall clock in the room shows twenty-two o'clock, after bathing and drinking a glass of water Wira threw her body on the bed. Today was very tiring for him, Wira looked at the sky of the room, while thinking about what he had just experienced in the car.

Whether it is real or just a hallucination, but the incident he experienced, successfully made Wira can not sleep. The clock shows at two in the morning when the Wira can finally fall asleep.

"Krie... Cring....."

The voice of the phonesell Wira rang, lazily he grabbed it, then turned off the alarm. Shortly afterward, Wira wakes up, she suddenly remembers going to the hospital, to check the body of woman X found in the harbor warehouse.

He hurriedly jumped out of bed, rushed to take a bath, got dressed, then took milk, and bread from the refrigerator. While chewing the bread in his mouth, Wira ran into the car. Today I don't want to be late to the hospital.
