*** chapter 7 ***


Nathan takes Setta to a forensic lab to identify the body he found yesterday.


"You wait here on deck, if you want to drink tea what water in the refrigerator there, inget do not soda!" Nathan said.


"Okay bang, hape dong please." Setta's hand was ready to ask for Nathan's phone.


"Now, change the account first if you want to play ff!"


"Okay boss!" said Setta who sits sweetly on the couch playing online games with his brother's phone.


Nathan heads into the examination room looking for Sarah. Nathan now serves in the criminal undercover department as an assistant to Ghani's captain in the village of Seroja.


"Hi Nathan!" greet Sarah who was still observing the dead body of the woman yesterday.


"Hi! How's doc, his current condition?" ask Nathan.


"Still the same, just a snare wound on the neck, no other signs of violence, just a fingerprint on the rope, yes can be sure, he committed suicide," sarah answered Nathan's question while showing the data she had summarized.


"Rarely murder?" ask Nathan.


Sarah nodded, though there was doubt also implied from her nod.


"But she is pregnant, it is suspected that the fetus in her body aged three months had been examined using ultrasound."


"So she probably killed herself because she was ashamed of getting pregnant out of wedlock?"


"It can be."


"Bejo has not yet received information from the people closest to him?" murmured Nathan held his own chin.


"You want coffee? let me make coffee, let him later in the same store again my assistant."


Sarah takes Nathan out of the autopsy room to her study.


The figure of a female ghost who followed Nathan last night was already standing in front of Setta who was still cool playing the game.


"Astagfirullahaladzim." said Setta who was surprised because the ghost wanted Setta to follow him.


After arriving at an autopsy room earlier, the woman's body was still lying there. Setta tried to get inside because the ghost kept turning to him to come in.


Setta saw a snare wound on the woman's neck. Suddenly the woman's right hand moved briefly startling Setta who spontaneously held her to silence again. Instantly a faint shadow appeared making the girl as if she were somewhere else.


Setta was in an empty factory that had been abandoned for a long time. He saw the woman waiting for someone. Before long, there came a thin man with a tattoo seen on his left hand trying to get out of his short-sleeved shirt. Charisma, the name of the woman immediately wanted to hug the man but did not become because the man avoided.


"I'm pregnant, and I want you to take responsibility, you can't avoid it anymore, if you don't want to marry me, tomorrow I'll tell your father!"


Charisma pushed the man's chest with her index finger.


"Relax my dear dong, do not use screaming later there are residents who are horrified, you calm down, I promise you I will marry you, if necessary tomorrow."


The man threw away the marijuana he smoked and stepped on it. He shifted the scar with his shoes away.


"Seriously, Jek?" asked Karisma who was answered nod by the man named Jek.


"Seriously..."


Setta tries to help Karisma, but she can't touch him. It was as if he was seeing a hologram-like image before him.


Shortly after, Jek came with a rope in his hand. He installed it on the roof of the factory by stacking some wood to raise so that he could reach the roof. After that, Jek grabbed Karisma's body and snared her neck with the mine and pulled her up to hang. Everything was done neatly without any trace because of the use of gloves and long-sleeved jackets that he wore. He deliberately used it so that there was no physical contact attached to the body of Karisma.


Setta weeps trying to stop Jek's actions to help Karisma, but he can't.


"What are you doing here, deck?" scold a man in the same uniform as Sarah's doctor, touching Setta's shoulder.


Setta was surprised by the position of sitting next to the cadaver bed of the woman and he immediately ran outside the room looking for his brother in panic and tears.


"Abang.hiks hyks." Setta grabs Nathan's arm when he sees him standing chatting with Sarah out of Sarah's study.


"You why? how do you cry?"


Nathan touched his sister's cheeks and wiped away her tears.


"Bring in, Tan!" sarah opened the door to her room again.


Setta still couldn't hold back his cries and was still as unwilling. Sarah gave Setta a glass of water.


"Drink first to be calmer!" said Sarah.


After the girl drank the water to the end, she told him what happened to the dead woman in the room in detail.


"Your sister has a sixth sense, right?" ask Sarah.


"It's up to you to believe it or not, but I believe in what he says even though it won't make sense and logical according to your report" Nathan said.


"Hmmm I tried to take a blood sample yes make a check again, want mastiin what content he injected into the woman's corpse" said Sarah.


"Okay, thank you, I'll take my sister home first, please tell me as soon as you can." Nathan grabs Setta's arm and takes him home.

Ayu's mom was hanging clothes in Nathan's yard when she came. Setta gives Ayu a spare key so he can clean the house when Setta and Nathan are not home.


"Have you cooked yet?" ask Nathan


"New ungkep chicken mas, if you want to eat now I fried first yes the chicken is just as bad" said mbak Ayu.


"OK mbak, thank you, continue to dry it first," said Nathan.


Nathan's phone rang from Bejo the caller. On the way home Nathan orders Bejo to find a man named Jek who is suspected of being the victim's girlfriend.


"I found this guy who had been the same victim, said his campus minister named Zaki Mustofa, commonly called Jek. He said he had broken up from two months ago with the victim because the victim was rarely seen together," said Bejo from across there.


"So you've met this Jek?"


"His boarding mom said she moved out yesterday, no one knows where her house is, but she said she likes coming to the Blue House, you know that place we've been selling that stuff for a long time?"


"Well, you try to get there later, keep telling me!" Nathan shut down his cell phone.
