DEAD EYES ARA
Episode 17's
Ara looked at her phone, there were many calls from dr. The arcs he intentionally ignored. Instead of not knowing, the man had asked Ara several times to work at the hospital where he worked, after he stopped working at the hospital as Prof Helmi's team. Prof Helmi himself has asked to be transferred to another city. Dr Arka asked Ara to help her in the autopsy department as an administrative officer in charge of organizing documents and correspondence, just as she had done while working with Prof Helmi. But Ara knows, it's just camouflage. The real task is to help dr. Arka if it meets a deadlock in a case. The girl did not feel ready to reopen herself to the outside world. Almost a year after the events that became the turning point of his life occurred. His threatened death at the hands of a psychopath until the death of his close friend, makes Ara not ready to return to normal life as before. Right now he was quite comfortable hiding within the fortress he had built himself.
********************
A woman's body was found in an underpass on an out-of-town highway. When found by scavengers, the corpse was wrapped in a carpet and shrouded by maggots and insects. Police brought the body along with some disgusting animals that were still attached for autopsy. From the identity found in the body. Police learned that the body was 36-year-old Ayu and that she was stabbed to death. The police started an investigation of the people around the victim, especially the husband of the victim himself. The victim's husband had an alibi. The man said that 2 weeks before the victim was found, he was going to another city to find work, and returned after police reported that his wife was killed. It was reinforced with some photographic evidence with time and date watermarks. So it is with the others. Everyone has a strong alibi.
******************
Dr Arka examined the maggots found in the woman's body and identified the disgusting animal as Blowfly maggots. These maggots will metamorphose into flies. Not an indiscriminate maggot, the Blowfly life cycle is very predictable. The man took a sample of the Blowfly pupa and placed it in the breeding box at 25⁰C. When the pupa hatches, it will know when the animal was laid. This reference is used to find out when the time of death of the body.
Adult blowflies have a keen sense of smell. They can track down a body that's only a few minutes old. The female is looking for a wet, dark place to lay her eggs. Usually, in an open body or a new scar. The eggs hatch in less than a day. Two days later the maggots will start eating the bodies of the bodies. After 6 days, the maggots will creep away from the body and become pupae. In a hard pupa, it takes maggots 6 days to become adult Blowfly, and this life cycle starts all over again. So the estimated time of death of the victim was about 8 to 10 days before it was found.
******************
The report from Dr. Arka made the head of the investigation team, Yandri became more dizzy. After the time of the victim's death was determined, he reopened a small note of his. Everyone investigated had a powerful alibi. The investigation was deadlocked. Yandri was silently pensive as a name flashed across his head. Ara.
*****************
Ara's phone shook again, there was a call from an unknown number. After a moment of silence, the girl decided to answer the call. It turned out that Yandri called Ara for help. At first Ara refused firmly. However, Yandri did not give up persuading the girl until Ara said she would consider Yandri's request to come to the place of Dr. Arka's autopsy.
********************
In front of Ara there were already several photos of people around the victim. They were the ones who interacted with Ayu last before her death. Ara's trembling hands pointed at one photo. Not the way out Yandri got, but a new puzzle.
******************
Yandri holds a photo of Rino. Ayu's husband. Aya's vision showed that it was the man who stabbed Ayu to death. But the man's alibi was perfect. He can prove that in the span of Ayu's death, he was far outside the city. It was seen from several photos that he used as an alibi to the police. Photos that include a date and time watermark.
The hours Yandri spent thinking. Until he picks up his phone, turn on the watermark on the camera app and start shooting randomly. There was hope there as he began to enter the phone settings and head to the time setting. Time setting is set automatically. Automatic feature he turns off, and select manual feature. As a result, he can replace the date with the date he wants.
******************
The court ruled that Rino was guilty of the murder of his wife. He was shown to manipulate the dates used as watermarks in his alibi-taken photographs. The motive is heartache. Ayu repeatedly mocked him because he was unemployed. Until that day, his patience was exhausted, he stabbed his wife to death and threw her under the underpass of the highway.
Yandri thanks Dr. Arka and Ara. Dr. Arka was instrumental in determining the time of the victim's death, and it was Ara who made her focus the investigation on one person. From there Yandri can solve the mystery of Ayu's death, and drag Rino to the green table that makes the perpetrator of the murder languish in prison for 15 years.
