Chapter Five

“What about Kei's victim's husband? How's he doing? I denger you already notified the husband of the victim yesterday?“ birdella asked as she and detective Keiko were in the autopsy room where Birdella was still examining Sephia's body, which has now been moved from the crime scene to Birdella's special autopsy room.

This morning detective Keiko brought Birdella a glass of hot americano and a chocolate pancake that Birdella had ordered since last night when they made a phone call.

But unlike detective Keiko who felt at home last night, since last night Birdella actually spent her time in the room because she had to complete several reports of several different cases that she helped perform autopsies on the bodies.

And this morning Birdella decided to continue her work in the autopsy room by examining the body of Sephia, the woman they found a few days ago on the running track in the city park.

“As you know, me and Egan hate that part of our job the most,” replied detective Keiko who seemed to have just realized from her daydream.

The job of informing the families of the victims is still the most difficult for detective Egan as well as for detective Keiko.

“Weight must be the husband of the victim, knowing that the wife he loves is now no more in a bad way like this. I will also be sad if you get news like that,” said Birdella while rubbing Sephia's hair as if tidying it up, trying to make Sephia look still look good.

“Yes, I really understand the condition of the victim's husband yesterday because I was also in his position and know the sense of loss well even today it feels still left in my life,” Detective Keiko replied with a gaze that glared far away somewhere.

His sense of loss to the departure of the Diatmika in an unnatural way a few months ago in fact is still so imprinted in one corner of detective Keiko's heart.

Even in the case that he handled this time, the victim was also a woman as if making detective Keiko again face to face with the Diatmika case a few months ago.

It seems that the long holiday Mr. Brox gave for a few weeks did not really help detective Keiko forget the painful incident and remove it from his life.

Although now the perpetrator has been caught and languished in prison and sentenced to a nonchalant sentence but the reality of losing Diatmika is still very pronounced for detective Keiko.

Birdella approaches detective Keiko and gives detective Keiko a warm hug trying to make detective Keiko calm down and forget the pain even if only for a moment.

“Sorry I am Yes Kei. I do not mean to make you come back to remember with Diatmika,” said Birdella trying to speak in the lowest tone possible.

“Don't feel bad about that dell. My work is always going to be in touch with everything that will remember me in the Diatmika case. I just need you to calm down like a gini, ” detective Keiko tried to calm her best friend as well.

Then the two let go of their embrace and in an instant they were already back in focus with their work.

“Suami victim looks really sad when he tells me and Egan that he was able to present his wife with a monitoring bracelet a year ago. The victim's husband bought it because he knew that his wife loved sports, especially jogging even before the two were married. A penchant that eventually leads to a bad death, ” detective Keiko retells what she heard from the husband of the victim yesterday in the special room of the victim's family.

“Lo said earlier, the husband of the victim said that the victim was wearing a monitoring bracelet? what we usually use to check heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, calories burned?“ Birdella tries to equate what she thinks with the valid data possessed by detective Keiko.

The question from Birdella makes detective Keiko jolted, her soul that a few minutes ago languished in the past finally returned to the room.

“Iya. The victim's husband said that he bought the watch bracelet as his birthday present a year ago because he learned that his wife loved to jog even long before the two were married,” detective Keiko repeated the information she had just passed on to Birdella.

“But as for me, I did not find anything let alone the monitoring bracelet at the scene of the case when checking there,” said Birdella trying to remember anything she found there.

“So is I. Even Egan also told me yesterday after the question and answer session was over if he also did not see any time he tried to comb the crime scene a few days ago,” said detective Keiko tried to remember also what has been conveyed by detective Egan to her.

“Do you already know the access code to the monitoring bracelet Kei?“ birdella asked while tidying up the clothes of the victim who had just been removed from the body of the victim to facilitate her work doing autopsies on the body of the victim.

“Not yet. I have to ask and ask the husband of the victim first later,” detective Keiko answered while fixing her seat that had begun to degenerate from its original position in the chair that was provided by Birdella in the room for anyone who would come and ask about anything related with the autopsy he was doing to add info in the case they usually do.

“Oh, okay! it is good to ask for access or at least pin the monitoring bracelet is the same as the husband of the victim. Later you can love me and I will anther to Aris. Or if you want to directly submit to Aris will also be better, too,” Birdella proposed it while drinking her americano which has begun to lose heat because it has been too long in the room that is actually quite cold.

“Okay then, soon I will pin his access to lo or Aris later after I get from the husband of the victim!“ detective Keiko agreed to the proposal from her colleague.

GECK!

The door of the autopsy room was knocked from the outside and Birdella as the master of the autopsy room immediately gave permission to anyone behind the door to enter.

When the door of the autopsy room was open, in Ana stood Aris whose hands were busy carrying a paper bag that looked full of various kinds of snacks and paper cups.

“Can I enter prof?“ ask Aris for permission.

“Come on ris, no one forbid,” Birdella replied.

“What do you bring it?“ ask detective Keiko who is familiar with the contents of the paper bag that Aris brought.

Aris steps closer to detective Keiko and puts the paper bag in front of detective Keiko.

“I brought you iced coffee and some food,” Aris said as she exclaimed the entire contents of the paper bag.

“Gue already has coffee and waffles,” Birdella said as she lifted a glass containing americano.

“Yes, I bought this for you also prof,” Aris looks really very disappointed.

“Lo buyin me not ris?“ tanay detective Keiko.

“Of course I buyinanda Kei. This,” said Aris while handing the glass into the hands of detective Keiko who immediately drank it without hesitation.
