Night Police

Chapter 10 Musi Building

Doni's little friend is dead and I realize that his death has something to do with the loss of a little girl 20 years ago.

There were three boys at the time but because two people had died then only Agro left and he had moved to the city of Kuta and changed his name to Bara.

We go to Kuta to find him and listen to him tell a story about 20 years ago.

Bara said that the three of them threw stones at Mina until she died.

“Then?” I asked Bara.

Bara gulped down another alcoholic drink and said when he saw Mina close her eyes, the three children realized they were in trouble.

Mina is unconscious while the day is getting late, adults can find her at any time, and no one can escape.

Fero slid to the bottom of the hole and put his finger into Mina's nostril and said in horror that Mina was dead.

Bara and Doni also panic, and Doni wants to go home and call an adult.

Doni grabbed it and said don't tell the adults about this.

Doni said, "We are in big trouble, and if we are shot, no one can save us.

Fero and Bara were so anxious that they both cried.

Doni stopped them crying and said crying was useless so they had to find another way.

Seeing that it was late, the three of them were helpless.

But Doni suddenly said just bury him and pretend nothing happened.

The two people did not dare to agree but they also did not dare to leave the beach, and remained standing on the spot while trembling in fear.

Doni said that if he came here himself, no one knows if we buried him here.

Fero is shaken and persuades Bara not to listen to Doni and is better off shot dead.

Bara still did not dare but the time was getting late, so Doni scolded Bara and dragged Fero to start filling the hole.

After some time filling his ground, the "trap hole" was filled, and the three agreed not to say anything.

Before leaving, Doni "tells" Bara: "You also threw stones into the pit, you also killed him."

Then he glanced at Fero and Fero also said the same thing to Bara.

When he finished talking about his problem, Bara lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Do you remember where Mina was buried?" Nando asked him.

Bara nodded and said that it was near the water level monitoring pole on the Musi River.

The truth surprised me, but I wasn't sure of his words.

I asked Bara, how can I trust you?

Bara said, "Good, I don't have to lie to you about this."

I wonderfully asked "What's Why?"

"Doni said we were all going to be shot dead, but he was 12 and I was only 9, and if I was going to be shot, I wouldn't be shot either."

We brought Bara back to Jakarta City.

After Sonic reads the transcript in detail, he unites the case 20 years ago and the case involving Doni some time ago.

On May 7, 2015, Bara took me and Nando to the shore of the Musi river where they buried Mina alive.

Nearly 20 years passed and much changed from the banks of the Musi river, but Bara was able to quickly find the scene.

  I said are you sure?

Bara pointed into the distance and said that it was facing the Musi Building. There used to be a water level monitoring pole nearby.

Nando was in charge of taking the photos, and I was in charge of finding the construction person to ask if they were digging to find the bones.

The person in charge of the construction was shocked and said no.

I persuaded him and said that even if it was dug up and he found it, it had nothing to do with him.

  Only then did the person in charge feel relieved, and in retrospect, he said nothing, since early 2007, when the area was managed, had been excavated.

When we returned, we passed the Musi Building, a local landmark.

Bara pointed to the building and sighed: "Time passes so quickly. When I left, the Musi Building was not finished yet. Now when I get back, the building's gonna be demolished."

I said that his memory is pretty good, it's been years but he can still find his place quickly.

Bara smiled bitterly: "This is where my childhood ended, how could I not remember."

Both murderers and lovers like to return to the place of past memories, it seems that the sentence is true.

Mina was buried and the two children involved also died and now Mina's parents are suspected of a crime.

For three days and three nights Nando led a police team to find the original archive card of Mina's parents at the City Bureau's Household Registration Management Center.

"Go to Aceh and find Herman and his wife, and don't let them know that you're looking for her" Sonic said.
