DEAD EYES ARA
Episodes 10
Ara was tidying up some old files in the cabinet when Yoga came running in.
"Ra, please call Prof Helmi now. New case!" Exclaimed the man with a breath.
Ara turned her head away instantly and hurriedly picked up the phone in her hands. Within minutes, he was in contact with Prof Helmi.
Ara's feelings began to be erratic, he hoped the autopsy process this time went smoothly so that he did not need to intervene again.
*********
Prof Helmi headed to his room in a hurry. He looked at the file of the corpse he had just autopsied.
"Jane Doe's..." His whisper was smirked
Jane Doe is a female corpse of unknown identity. Maybe Prof Helmi will never know the identity of Jane Doe. The body has no fingerprints. That sounds impossible but there are some similar cases in this world. To do a dna test is also difficult because there is no comparison sample. Unless someone reports a family loss.
There were no signs of violence on the victim's body other than livor mortis. Livor mortis is a natural bruise that occurs in the corpse due to the buildup of blood flow in the capillaries. Livor mortis can also be a guide for forensic experts to determine the time of death.
It says the body was found in a landfill with full clothes. The victim's personal belongings are still there, only the wallet containing the identity card is not found.
Facing this fact, Prof Helmi was deadlocked.
"Mom..." Prof Helmi said softly

Ara walked slowly towards the hospital canteen as Abidzar approached. Without saying a word, Ara could read the man's face. Instantly his heart slipped, and his appetite disappeared somewhere.
The girl turned the direction of her steps following Abidzar after previously nodding in understanding. His steps felt heavy, cold sweat started to come out. The best thing he could do was just this, useful to others.
"Ara.." said Prof Helmi in the autopsy room.
"Yes Prof, Ara understood.." said the girl slowly.
He slowly headed towards the body figure lying in a stainless tub. Open the cloth that covers the face and touch the soft cold cheeks that have paled.

The woman was facing the window. In front of him there is a canvas measuring 1 meter more. He was immersed in his busy work of sweeping brush and oil paint. Occasionally the woman used her left hand to take turns holding the brush.
"The front month of my exhibition begins" a man said from behind the woman's back
"Prepare at least 12 paintings for me to bring along." he continued.
The woman suddenly stopped her movements and looked. His face looks gloomy.
"Until when should I live in your shadow..?" Slowly follow
"I'm tired, I want to stop.. "
"No!" The man snaps
"It's not time to stop. I made a contract with you. You stopped when I ordered you like that!"
The woman threw her brush and approached the man.
"For God's sake, stop!!!" Exclaims
"No, at least until my exhibition is over. I'm not letting you stop!!" The man replied
Debate that did not meet the word agreed to make the two humans clash their mouths. The man lost his temper and began pushing the woman towards the sofa. As strong as his energy, he tried to smother the woman's face using a pillow
After a long period of struggle, the wriggling power of the woman weakened. Out of breath.
The man who saw him suddenly realized what he had done. He patted the woman's cheek. Fear came to his heart and the man desperately grabbed his hair strong.
PLAAASHH
It was almost early in the morning when the man came out of the house. After making sure it was quiet, he slowly drove his car out of the garage, with the body of a woman in his trunk.
**********
Ara looked up and took a deep breath. Her lungs hurt and she coughed. Yoga approached her and swept her out of the room. Prof Helmi followed their steps from behind.
"Ara.." call Prof Helmi slowly
"A painter Prof. The corpse was a painter." cut Ara fast.
Ara also told in detail the vision she saw.
Prof Helmi. That's why Jane Doe doesn't have fingerprints. A painter who uses a brush even sometimes his own hands to paint, will get this effect. It's accumulated from their decades of work. What Prof Helmi still does not understand, why his left hand also does not have fingerprints.
As he was about to give up, the old man thought of something.
"Ambidextrous!"
"Yes, Jane doe is ambidextrous." screeched
Ambidextrous is a person who can use both hands well. The left hand is as good as the right hand. Few humans are ambidextrous. That's why Jane Doe lost her fingerprints on both hands.
Prof Helmi wrote a report related to Jane Doe. When submitting the report, a senior police officer invited the man to speak privately.
"Did that girl do it again?" Ask the cop named Yandri.
"Yes, that sounds absurd but the girl was very helpful this late end" replied Prof Helmi
"I agree. Thanks to the girl we were able to focus the investigation.." continued Yandri.
"Is there anything else?" Ask then
"Exhibition, investigate the exhibition that will take place next month. If you narrow down the investigation, you'll find the culprit.." Prof Helmi replied softly.
Yandri nodded and stood up leaving the room.
********
In a matter of days, the killer of Jane Doe who was then known as Rika was arrested. Without much fight, the man confessed that all this time he took all Rika's paintings to acknowledge her as his own. Rika is her dark boyfriend who has a hobby of painting. That's where the man used it to make a profit. Rika eventually starts to fight back and eventually the murder happens.
