Home In Cemetery

Chapter 35. Home Surveillance

"It's a pity, even though mom is also sure she will find out about the fake Faiz" said Ms. Karmila.

"Anyways, if I ask the police for help?" advice Ayu.

"Do you think the police will act if there's no evidence, son?" prevent Bu Lela.

"Mother about it, I have an uncle who is a police officer and will ask for his help by telling what has happened to all of you" Ayu said calmly.

"I agree with you, before we catch a fake Faiz it looks like the police have to search the house first" Radit said.

"Well, I'll call uncle first" Ayu said, then reached into his cell phone from his small bag and called his uncle.

"How's it?" radit asked after Ayu hung up the phone call.

"It can, but tomorrow morning, said uncle."

"OK ready."

"And I didn't come" said Karmila.

"Mother too" said Bu Lela.

"Well you two will stay at Ayu's house for a while, is that okay, Yu?"

"It's okay, Mom."

"You ate first Dek Mila. I'm just like you to take the DNA test first."

"DNA test results?" tanya Ayu and Karmila in unison.

"Yes to prove at once as a liability that I and Ms. Lela are really children and biological mothers."

Karmila and Ayu nodded and let Faiz and Bu Lela out of Karmila's ward.

"Eat Mil!" Ayu thrust the rice box in front of Karmila and Karmila immediately opened and devoured it.

The next day several policemen were already at Karmila's house and searched the house.

"Why didn't we find anything in this house?" ask the police about Radit.

"Are you sure all the rooms have been searched? According to Karmila the most suspicious room is the one facing the kitchen."

"It's just that room that we haven't checked and our members are trying to pry because it's sealed and locked."

"Continue Sir! Don't miss that room because I'm sure it's the secret key to all the weird things that happened to Karmila and my mom during that time in that house."

"definitely. Mas Radit need not worry us as police always do our duty with caution and meticulous care."

"Dine sir, hopefully find results."

It had been half a day for police to search Faiz and Karmila's house and until the dhuhur rang, one room had not been opened because when the police managed to pry and open the door itself closed and locked again.

"This room is strange" a policeman muttered.

Call her Karmila Ma'am!" police orders and due to police orders Karmila eventually came to the house, but did not enter the house.

"What's up, sir? Any findings?"

"Not yet Ma'am, we want to ask permission to remove the room from its wall because the door is not normally open. The door seemed to have a magnet so that when we managed to open the door it was firmly pulled inward again."

"Well sir do what if you have to do!"

"We need only the approval of Ms. Karmila for fear that there will be demands later if we do without permission."

"Good Sir."

The police nodded and went inside back while Karmila, Bu Lela and Ayu only dared to watch from outside. The surrounding community also thronged the grounds and wondered what the police in the house were doing."

"There's something wrong in this house, sir, but it's not clear what. Let's just wait for the police check."

"Oh, is that it?"

Karmila just nodded.

While the residents only watched from the outside because it was forbidden to enter by the police unless Radit was asked to help. The police dismantled one of the walls of the room.

"Sir looks like that chest that Karmila told me about!" radit exclaimed as he pointed at the elongated chest.

"We check." By putting on a plastic hand t-shirt, Mr. Police opened the chest.

How surprised they were when they saw the figure that Karmila told. The body of a long-haired woman in a bridal suit is still intact in a crate.

"Isn't this the woman we've been looking for all this time?" ask one of the police.

"Yes sir the news of the loss wasn't it last year. How could a corpse that was one year old still be intact?"

"It looks like this woman was embalmed."

"Yes properly preserved, but unfortunately maybe the preservatives are not perfect so it still sounds stinging stench."

Radit only witnessed the police action that took the body out in a crate by squeezing the nose. The man did not dare to touch because maybe his fingerprints will affect the results of the investigation.

"Bring the body out!" the order of a policeman and his partner immediately swiftly carry out what was ordered.

People watching outside screamed to see police carrying bodies from inside the house.

After the corpse was removed in the crate, the contents of the next chest were so many jewels.

"Whoa." Radit gaped at the glittering thing.

"Thank you for this jewelry!"

"Good commander."

That is the reason the police forbid the surrounding community to enter. In addition to fearing that their fingerprints might disrupt the investigation, the police also anticipate fearing that valuable items might be seized without the police knowing they were taking them for granted.

"Later to clarify whether this jewelry belongs to Ms. Karmila or not. However, given his position under the corpse I think Mbak Karmila does not know the existence of this jewelry."

"Ask me later, sir" Radit said.

"We'll take down the contents of the next box." The police officer lifted the iron containing the body and the jewelry to the side and checked the next chest.

"Astaghfirullah haladzim." Radit was wide-eyed in disbelief to see the corpse that stayed head only.

"Maybe this body is not preserved like the woman," clearly the police made Radit and the members of the police nodded in agreement with the statement of one of his colleagues.

Police continued to search until his foot accidentally stepped on something and then the floor he stepped on was hollow.

"There's a basement like that" said the policeman, peering down and enlarging the hole even more.

"Please bring the stairs! I'll go downstairs and look around down there!"

"Good Sir." Radit ran out and looked for a ladder loan on a neighbor.

"Why is it so scary? I am always haunted. It turns out that this house has many bodies that are not buried properly even though they are close to the cemetery" said Karmila while hugging Bu Lela.

"Because the body was deliberately killed and hidden from people," replied Bu Lela who could now be calmer than usual.

"But this land is actually also a yard with a burial ground, whether who has dared to build a house in this place and sell it" continued Ayu.

"I also don't know Yu, Mas Faiz bought who he said he was yesterday" Karmila said.

Seriate.
