Finding the Sacred Tree

Insects Man part 2

"Right sir, I told Rika to save you, but I did that on Mr. Tapoc's own errand."

"Uncle Tapoc? What do you mean it?"

"So, sir, after I found this fragment, I knew right away that you weren't the culprit. From there I began to look for other evidence in the room and instead found a letter under the floor of Mr. Tapoc's bed."

"Letter?"

Vivi gave me a piece of paper that looked worn out. There's writing, but I don't know if it's Uncle Tapoc's writing or not.

"You're sure this is Uncle Tapoc's writing."

"I'm sure sir, because I've matched her before."

"That's it."

I started reading the letter and it turned out that it contained...

To anyone who finds this.

If you find this, then I'm dead. I don't know, I'll die how or when, but I'll obviously die by someone. When I am killed there will be a young man wearing a plain black bracelet, who will be a scapegoat.

The one who killed me was no ordinary person, he was the one who would destroy this world. I know this sounds bad, but this time I'm serious. There will be someone very smart and strong who intends to destroy this world.

So if you find this letter please take this to Grandpa Bari and ask him to save the young man. That young man must survive because only he can save this world from destruction.

Then behind the letter was a map leading to Bari's grandfather's house.

"What does this mean cake? Who's this grandpa? Why does Uncle Tapoc know you?"

Grandpa laughed a little and then said.

"I'm a nobody, son, I'm just a weapon forger and a teacher of genius."

"Grandfather of Uncle Tapoc."

"Well, I was the one who taught him how to forge a sword. Do you want to hear the story."

"Not now cake! Better explain the meaning of this letter. What does Uncle Tapoc mean? why did he write grandfather in his letter? And why did he mention that the world would be destroyed."

"Oh that's yes, actually grandfather also does not know. I don't even know why he mentioned my name in his letter."

"Well, how could grandfather not know. Grandfather was in his letter and he also said that only grandfather can save this world."

"Hadeh, I seem to have seen this kind of sight before." Grandpa looked towards Vivi.

"Relax sir.I asked the same question earlier, but neither does Grandpa know. Maybe there's something we need to solve first, like finding the culprit's motive."

"Oh yeah, the culprit, you already know."

"No sir, I'm just gathering some information about people who have the same case as yours."

"Well.what do you mean?"

Vivi put some paper on the mattress and spread it. There seemed to be a lot of papers containing information about people who were strangers to me.

"What is all this?"

"This is a victim with a case similar to yours, sir. Where 1 family died horribly and one of the men became a suspect."

"Right as you thought. All these people don't remember, that he killed his own family."

Vivi sorted into four papers with different information. I looked at the paper and there was no awkwardness there. There is only personal information, such as date of birth and so on.

"Hmm.these four people are dead."

"Yes, sir, the four men committed suicide after being accused of killing their own families."

"A suicide? It's weird."

"Indeed sir."

"Not that, but the dates they died were all the same."

On the four papers it is written the date they died right next to their date of birth. It was written on the 2nd of Fari in different years.

"You're right sir, they all date the same but in different years."

Then grandfather snatched the four papers from my hand. When I snatch and read it. He was silent for quite a while while closing his eyes and frowning.

Shortly after, Grandpa opened his eyes wide, as if he knew something.

"Don't...! Rica! Please get me a map of Daman's kingdom in Grandpa's room."

"Why do you always tell me to."

"Have it, just do it."

"Okay, okay." Rika leaves this room immediately, but she looks upset and drags her legs.

"What's the cake? Do you know anything?" My toot.

"Maybe, but it's best to be wrong." Grandpa looked anxious, as if he didn't want his guess to be right. Then shortly after it appeared Rika who was carrying a small paper scroll containing a map of the kingdom.

He gave it to Grandpa. Then grandfather snatched the map quickly and it made Rika a bit annoyed. Then he hurriedly opened the map and told Vivi to get ink in the small cupboard behind Vivi. He simply obeyed her and then looked for ink in a small cupboard. Not long after, Vivi also managed to find the ink and give it to grandfather. As before he also snatched the ink quickly.

"Okay Rakka, now you're reading the murder victim's quarters."

"Eh.umm.ok." Vivi then gave me another piece of paper, and then I read out every home address of the murder victim. When I read out everyone's address, grandfather dipped his little finger in ink and then stuck it on the map according to the address of the victim's house I mentioned.

After everything I've read, grandfather then marks the last point, uncle Tapoc's house. All the dots are marked on the map, but I still don't know why Grandpa did this. Then the grandfather dipped his pinky in ink again and then put the dots together and become a symbol like Y but have a line again in the middle and the line is quite long.

After writing the symbol, grandfather held his head with a surprised face. Then he stood up and walked over and over and said.

"This is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible...."

What's the cake?" Vivi tried to calm grandfather down, but to no avail.

Then Grandpa stopped pacing back and forth, but then he left this room in a hurry.

"What's wrong with her? Is he like that every day?" I went to Rika.

"Never. Grandpa's usually calm, and never like this."

Suddenly there was a noise like the sound of wood being destroyed. Not only that voice, there was also the voice of grandfather who was shouting quite loudly.
