Code 810: Disappearance of the Diatmica

Chapter Nineteen

Detective Keiko wakes up in a hospital treatment room. Next to him sat quietly detective Egan while engrossed in reading the thick book in his hands.

As detective Keiko moves in, detective Egan realizes that his partner is now unconscious from fainting.

“How long have I been here, gan?“ detective Keiko asked still trying to fit in.

“Just past twenty-four hours beberqpa minutes ago,” Detective Egan reply.

“How about bu Alana?“ detective Keiko frantically realizes that Alana's mom isn't around.

“Bu Alana is taking care of Diatmika's funeral process now.“

“But this case is not finished, where can Diatmika be buried,” said detective Keiko confused.

“Indeed there will be no funeral, just the preparation aja.“

“How about our case progression?“

“No meaningful progress made at this time. So now you just rest first so quickly recover and we can immediately return to take care of this case with me.“

The usually stubborn Detective Keiko suddenly becomes submissive and follows the advice of detective Egan.

The forensics floor is busy again as usual, as is the autopsy room and Aris's room is again stretched trying to find a glimmer of hope from everything they researched in recent days.

Birdella herself is still busy autopsying two bodies at once, namely the bodies of Odel and Erik who are the first two victims they found in a case that initially disappeared and turned into a case of recovery.

Overwhelmed, Birdella calls Aris for her help in performing an autopsy on the two bodies.

“By pleasure prof,” said Aris once knew himself asked for help by Birdella via intercom connection.

Aris hurriedly came to the autopsy room available specifically for Birdella.

“Come in ris,” Birdella said when she learned of Aris' arrival at the doorstep.

Aris was immediately asked to wear a special green outfit, which Birdella had prepared in her room. After finishing wearing the clothes, Aris immediately rushed to help Birdella according to the direction given by Birdella.

“Prof, I found a crack in the jaw Odel,” said Aris after examining the bone part of the face odel through X rays.

“Old or new wounds?“

“Seeing from his wound, it looks like this is an old wound prof, it might have been a month before Odel lost his life,” Aris explained.

“You sure ris?“ ask Birdella.

“I'm sure one hundred percent.“

“Maybe this could be one of the new clues for detectives,” Birdella said.

Birdella records Odel's fractured jawbone into a special autopsy note and they resume their work.

“Prof, wouldn't it be better if you checked Odel?!“ aris said, stopping his activities autopsying Odel for a while.

“Why is that?“ ask Birdella.

“I feel not very competent and worry about missing some important things,”

This time Birdella who stopped her activities then looked at Aris and said, “Didn't you do your job well?!“

“Thank you Prof,” said Aris.

“You even found a jawbone fracture I didn't find at the first autopsy. How did you find it?“ ask Birdella.

“At first I checked the victim's face, then I tried to touch it and felt something strange on the structure of his face. Then I thought it would be better if I found out what really happened.“

“Then you took pictures of his X rays?“

“Iya Prof's. “

“Then I feel no doubt give you the job of autopsying Odel to you,” Birdella said and continued her work with Erik.

Aris himself felt very proud to get such praise from his seniors and of course it made him more enthusiastic about doing autopsy activities on Odel.

“Detective Egan here,” he said when putting the phone in his ear.

“How are you doing Keiko, gan?“

“Oh good ma'am. He's on break now.“

“It turns out that the departure of Diatmika is not only heavy for me but also for Keiko,” said Alana bu sad.

“Keiko already considers Diatmika as her own sister. Therefore, during the search process, Keiko wanted to be directly involved in the search. Naturally if Keiko gets to this shock bu,” said detective Egan.

“They're friends since childhood. Although many friends their age were in our neighborhood, they were the two most intertwined. No one ever dared to disturb Diatmika as long as there was Keiko beside her,” story bu Alana.

“Means Diatmika is lucky to have Keiko as sister,” retorts detective Egan.

“Betul. Not only did the Diatmika feel lucky, my husband and I also felt lucky because finally Diatmika had an older brother whom he had always dreamed of all this time.“

“I think so is Keiko. She always wanted to be a big brother and there was a diatmika in her life,” detective Egan said.

“Surely no one separated them until Diatmika's father died and forced us out of the house. We moved to a distant place until Diatmika lost her brother and Keiko lost her sister,”.

Detective Egan who heard the story could only fall silent on how sad it was for these two women to lose their loved ones. The sound of Ms. Alana's voice clearly illustrates that she is now shedding tears that flood her cheeks.

“I leave my son who I never gave birth to it to you, because I have to take care of all the needs of his sister's return,” suddenly the voice of Ms. Alan became cheerful.

“Good ma'am Alana, leave Keiko to me here. I promise I will take good care of it.“

Then the two cut off their phone. But just as detective Egan wanted to put his phone in his jacket pocket, another call came in.

“With detective Egan here.“

“How's Keiko doing?“

“She's resting now, but she's been eating. Lo phone just to name Keiko?“ ask detective Egan sulking.

“Oh yes, how about lo? Don't you go home and rest?“

“Ngga do, Keiko's mother has not come because her father is sick too. I forbid Keiko's mother to come here and promise to keep Keiko here.“

“Keiko's father is sick? What pain?“

“Demam since two days ago, but do not know the exact pain because it has not been checked by a doctor.“

“Lo want to change with me?“

“Ngga do, you have important work there, just do it first to help me and Keiko solve the case.“

“By the way about the case, I have a new lead for this case.“

Detective Egan who heard that was suddenly excited, he did not even need coffee for this morning even though his sleep was not comfortable on the sofa next to the care bed of detective Keiko.

“So Aris found a jaw crack on Odel's body and it looks like it was an old wound.“

“So Odel had a fight with someone even before the attack that took his life?“

“Most likely like that. Judging from Odel's jaw damage, chances are he was fighting or beaten by a big man.“

“That must have been Dalmar,” detective Egan said.

“Who is Dalmar?“ ask Birdella.

“Security chief in the gallery as well as guard Gilen the gallery supervisor where Daitmika works part-time,” detective Egan explained.

“He could have been a suspect,” Birdella said.

“Gue has long suspected him.“

“Who? Dalmar?“

“Not, but Gilen.“
