Code 810: Corpse On The Hill
Chapter 35. Find the culprit who crippled Ardana
After sending Ardana to a nearby hospital for treatment, detectives Egan and Keiko return to investigate the village.
“I'm sure, the culprit is from this village,” said Dteective Egan.
“It looks like he saw someone from behind this window. I looked at it like I was scared after I looked out the window,” detective Keiko said.
Detective Egan approached the owner of the coffee shop and asked, “What did you put in Ardana's coffee?“
“Oath to God I did not put anything strange into the drink Ardana,” replied the owner of the coffee shop was stunned.
“Lantas what are the compositions in that coffee?“ ask detective Egan again.
“I gave him the coffee he always drank every day here. With a small spoon of sugar as he used to order,” replied the stall owner.
“Maybe he has allergies that you know.“
“Iya. He does have an allergy to alcohol but I have never provided alcohol here. You can check this place,” said the owner of the stall.
“Sure I will check carefully. Didn't you also give me permission,” said detective Egan with an intimidating face.
While on the other hand, detective Keiko interviewed the man who had approached detective Egan.
“Why do you want to report Ardana to us?“
“Since the discovery of the corpse, the situation in this village has changed even more. Almost no villagers dare to go there anymore. So do the tourists, I don't like this keadaab.“
“Lantas what does it have to do with Ardana?“
“To be honest, I suspect it more than anyone else. I've seen him climb that hill with suspicious behavior.“
“Did you approach my colleague earlier to distract us, so that your friend who is there can put alcohol on Ardana coffee?“ detective Egan asked while carrying the cup that was used by Ardana.
“Alcohol?“
“Iya. Alcohol you put here.“
“What do you mean?“ ask Detective Keiko who was confused.
“It turns out Ardana has an allergy to Alcohol. And it looks like I smell the alcohol here.“
“But how can Ardana not smell the smell of alcohol on her kpoinya?“ ask men—laki it.
“Most likely, the smell is disguised by the smell of coffee,” retorts detective Egan.
Detective Egan approached the other man and without warning conducted a search on the man.
“What is this?“ the man flinched.
After carefully searching the detective stopped his activities.
“What is this?“ ask the man again.
“Where do you hide that alcohol?“ ask detective Egam.
“What alcohol?“ tanyakanya.
“Alcohol that you pour partially into the kpo belongs to Ardana.“
The man frowned and said, “What am I doing that for?“
“To make Ardana shut her mouth.“
“Lantas what kentungan do I get if I do that?“
“Maybe you are the perpetrator of the murder of the woman whose body was found a few days ago.“
The man shakes his head slowly, “I didn't even know that Ardana has an allergy to alcohol.“
“I know. But would that be a compelling reason to appoint me as the one trying to get Ardana to shut up?“
“What is this. I saw an ambulance while patrolling on the hill,” said Ivan who had just entered the coffee shop.
“Ardana has just been brought by the ambulance,” replied the owner of the coffee shop.
“Ardana carried ambulance? why him?“ Ivan spoke in a panicked tone.
“The allergy, relapses,” Detective Egan replied.
“Stupid! Though he knew when his allergy to alcohol could kill him,” grumbled Ivan.
“You also know about Ardana allergy?“ ask detective Keiko.
“It feels like half of the villagers here know about Ardana's allergy to alcohol. Because he is the only one who has never touched alcohol in this village in any event,” Ivan explained.
“We are conducting an investigation and finding out who put the alcohol in the coffee drunk by Ardana,” detective Keiko said.
“Who's looking for that lakohol k in ardana coffee? So you don't think he did that himself?“ ask Ivan.
“According to you, why did he do that?“ ask detective Egan.
“Entahlah. Maybe because he felt guilty for killing that woman?“ reply Ivan.
“So you mean, you suspect it too?' ask Ddetective Keiko.
“To be honest yes. I've seen him climb up the hill but because there was a call from my boss, I didn't follow him up the hill.“
“You heard detective?! even Ivan was suspicious of Ardana,” said the man who was interviewed by the two detectives.
“Maybe he also feels guilty for making Aditya suspect in this case,” Ivan said.
“Poor Aditya. Even now he has to pay attention because of shock at his findings on the hill the other day,” said the owner of the coffee shop.
“Betul. Where here there is no psychiatrist, Aditya had to go far to the city to seek treatment,” men who had been interviewed by the two detectives also commented.
Detective Egan thought for a moment then gave instructions to his partner, “We have not searched this place.“
“So you still suspect me?” ask the owner of the coffee shop.
“Of course!“
Detectives Egan and Keiko conducted a search, starting from the kitchen in front, where the store owner prepared the orders of the customers to the kitchen where there is a storage area.
But the two detectives did not find anything suspicious even they did not find anything related to alcohol.
Detective Egan approaches the table where Ardana was sitting and starts putting the cup and cigarette that Ardana had smoked into a plastic bag to collect evidence.
“We take it to the lab and let Birdella check it out,” detective Egan said.
“Good!“ get Detective Keiko back and take the plastic and bring it.
The two detectives got out of the coffee shop and got into the car and left the village.
“This is crazy! Why are we all here to be suspects?“ gerutu coffee shop owner.
“My fate is so unlucky today. Why should I meet Ardana here?!“ muttered one of the men.
Ivan smiled at the two-time words of the man and replied, “They are just running errands. They are police and have the right to suspect anyone close to the scene. I would probably do the same thing if I were them.“
“You saw the male detective earlier? how arrogant,” grumbled one of the men.
“Iya, very different from you Ivan,” timpal other men.
“Already. Let's help them get this case over with. So we can open the line of police attached and make the bkit back crowded as usual,” said Ivan with a smile and pat one of the men who were in the place.
