CONFINEMENT

CH 86 - RED THREAD

With a loud voice Mr. Sirkun trying to calm the situation, the keris in the hands of Jero Pecalang still unsheathed towards Prawira Utama Bhayangkara.

The atmosphere was immediately silent but every member of Bhayangkara and Pecalang did not reduce vigilance by holding their respective weapons anticipating the situation would suddenly get worse.

"Stop!"

"Let your weapons down!" shouted Mr. Sirkun back. The man's gaze swept over to everyone in the treatment room.

"Do you want to add to the murky atmosphere amid the sadness experienced by Manguntur at this time?" yell at the charismatic businessman.

"Jero Pecalang, put down your gun!"

"Mr. Prawira, get your men out of this room!"

"If you use the muscles, these savagery men will laugh at all of us!"

"Control yourself all!"

concluded mr. Sirkun.

"The bull that Sirkun said."

"Control each of you."

"We must investigate all this with a cold head." now Balian Kanta also raised his voice.

"Mr Sirkun, Mr. Prawira Utama and you Jero Pecalang, follow me."

"There's something I want to tell you and maybe what I'm saying could be an early clue to this problem!"

"And you Pecalangs, prepare a proper burial for Ni Mas Cahaya."

"We leave this room, let my cantrik who will take care of the situation Sekar and Raya."

"Your complaints in this room will interfere with the treatment process of both of them" concluded the old man as he stepped away from the place and followed by all in the treatment room.

Before long Balian Kanta and the three people who followed him arrived at a room beside the Manguntur banjar medicine hall, before continuing his words, the old man looked closely at the three people who were nearby.

"There's something I want to tell you."

"This is about Jero Mekel and the Muhibbin family" said Balian Kanta.

"Before all this happened, me and the late Jero Mekel and the young man had predicted it."

"If my guess is not wrong, I believe this has something to do with the object that is targeted by the Red Garuda group."

Everything in the room frowned not understanding the direction of the old Balian talk in front of him.

"What does Jero Balian mean?"

"Who is the Red Garuda and what is it after?" ask Mr. Sirkun to Balian Kanta.

The old man sighed deeply before answering Mr. Sirkun's question, while Prawira Utama Bhayangkara and Jero Pecalang continued to listen to what Balian Kanta was going to say.

"Muhibbin told Jero Mekel and myself about his arrival with his entire family in this country a few weeks ago."

"Bu Suratmi and the Light suffered an attack in his country to cause the pain of the late woman."

"The attack was carried out by the Red Garuda gang who wanted a ring belonging to the family."

"The ring was named Sulaiman Honey stone and it was very much targeted by the person who ordered Garuda Merah" said Balian Kanta.

Hearing the name of the Red Garuda mentioned by Balian Kanta, Prawira Utama Bhayangkara cut off the old healer's talk.

"Wait a minute, Jero."

"What Red Garuda do you mean by the regiment of Darmayudha formed the Garuda Gold dynasty?"

"This is a serious charge, Jero."

"However, Garuda Merah is the official army of the Emerald Country formed by the late king of Harsuto" Prawira said, looking at the main, the man was surprised by the new information he got from Balian Kanta.

"Rubber, sir."

"It turns out you know the troops." Balian Kanta replied briefly with a cold face.

"The Red Garuda used poison when attacking Suratmi's mother in her home country."

"This mob wants the Suleiman Honey ring owned by the Suratmi bu family."

"The mob's attack could have been thwarted by Muhibbin's teacher before the young man arrived in his country to pick up his mother, brother and nephew."

"Me and the late Jero Mekel were shown a tear of garuda's head with a red string knitted."

"Before arriving in Manguntur, sick that was suffered by Suratmi bu due to poison belonging to the Garuda Merah gang had relapsed."

"It is still lucky that the condition of Suratmi ma'am can be helped by my brother from the Gelumpang banjar who found them on the road when heading to Manguntur."

"And you need to know, please, Gus Aji My older brother's son is a former member of the regiment of Garuda Merah and from him we all know that Garuda Merah is an army formed by the Garuda Gold dynasty when the late king Harsuto still in power." said Balian Kanta back.

Everyone in the room was more and more shocked by the information conveyed by the healer of the Galuh banjar.

Balian Kanta tells us all he knows about what Muhibbin and his family experienced, up to the plan to apply for Sariwati who is none other than the daughter of the governor of the Coast Country and is still a large family of the Garuda Gold dynasty.

Hearing the words of the healer from the Galuh banjar, Sirkun spoke up, saying,

"I'm starting to understand the situation now."

"And there's a common thread that connects all these events."

"When Jero Perbekel came to my house asking for help to bridge the problem between the young man and the governor's daughter, he said, indirectly Jero Nengah Wirata alludes to the Garuda Gold dynasty and his concern for Muhibbin and his family."

"It's a pity that before I go to the governor and talk about everything, this terrible event happened" Sirkun concluded, bowed down. The generous businessman seemed to think and digest all the information he had just obtained.

"So right my guess, all this leads to the governor and his extended family" said Jero Pecalang cynically, his eyes coldly staring at Prawira Utama Bhayangkara nearby.

"You mean all this, the governor did and he's behind this?"

"The Bhayangkara who attacked Jero Perbekel and his family were part of the Red Garuda army?" pekik Prawira Utama Bhayangkara on Jero Pecalang, the man looks unhappy with the accusations of the Batubulan village security chief.

"If not them, then who else has access to move the Red Garuda regiment? argue Jero Pecalang no less ketus.

"Already!"

"It's pointless you guys argue,"

"Obviously we must deepen the testimony of Jero Balian, not even blame each other." lerai Sirkun mediate the debate between the two men before him.

Prawira Utama Bhayangkara was seen sighing before saying,

"We actually carried out a mission directly ordered by the governor,"

"However, this incident in Manguntur must be dealt with immediately."

"This information from Jero Balian is very helpful in future investigations."

"But besides, there is something you should know,"

"I want to ask the young man named Muhibbin directly about the whereabouts of the governor's daughter."

"Because until now, Ni Mas Sariwati has not been found since she left without saying goodbye and I was assigned directly by Mr. Timoti to look for her" Prawira Utama told the three people in the room.

The man recounted everything ordered by the governor including dragging Muhibbin and taking responsibility if involved with the run of Sariwati from the residence of the Coast State leadership.

Everyone in the room seemed to be silent about what Prawira Utama Bhayangkara had just said.

"This case is really not easy, if not careful we will be dragged and will cause new problems" cried Mr. Sirkun lirih.

"I will face and speak directly with Mr. Timoti about the circumstances that befall this Manguntur."

"Obviously, we need to bury the girl's body immediately."

"And I ask you, Lord Prawira Utama,"

"Please uphold this justice even though it will drag the influential people in this country." concluded Mr. Sirkun back and the leader of Bhayangkara nodded at the generous businessman in front of him.
