Inside the house, in addition to blood, some furniture was rolled or even broken and the debris spread on the floor.
On the living room floor, up to the kitchen floor looks blood splattered that looks still wet. In some parts of the furniture, on the chairs and walls appear traces of blood patterned palms that indicate that the man was trying to escape from the attack of his killer, he said, by trying to walk away from the living room and looking for a handle on the wall to hold his wounded body.
The pattern is visible starting from the direction of the living room towards the kitchen. And in the middle of the kitchen room appeared to lie a corpse with stab wounds severe enough in the abdomen and chest, which until now still draining fresh blood.
Two Red boys from Goldie Tavisha were still sitting crouched near the body.
Looking at the corpse figure on that floor, Alvero could only take a deep breath. This time he was a few minutes late.
"Sorry Mr. Alvi, Big Miss, we're late. Looks like this murder was committed by Eliana's men. I also don't know where the witness's whereabouts were known to Eliana." Red, who had arrived in Croyen a few seconds earlier than Alvero, seemed to show a deep sense of regret looking at the only witness they had just found, but in the end it was found dead at the hands of the men of Eliana.
"It looks like Eliana has started to observe our movements. We need to be extra careful from now on." Alvero muttered softly as he turned his eyes away from the corpse figure lying in front of him.
"Before he died, two men from Goldie Tavisha who had just come to this place tried to help him, but the man's wounds were too severe that it was difficult to help his life.
"Has the killer been caught by Mr Red? Or did he manage to escape?" Alvero said as he moved his body, walking out of the kitchen area, followed by Deanda, Ernest and Red.
"Sorry Your Majesty, one of the Goldie Tavisha people tried to chase after him, and managed to catch him. Suddenly, the killer bled out of his mouth and died. It seems that he deliberately drank the poison or indeed from the beginning he was poisoned, so that if he could not return as soon as possible, he would also die because he could not get the antidote." Red explains to Alvero with a face that looks so sorry, because he could not save the only witness he managed to find.
"Truly a hallmark of Eliana's workings. Killing and poisoning people to silence their mouths." Alvero said with a furious tone.
Again today, Alvero had to see Eliana's cruelty happening before his eyes without him being able to prevent it.
"Your Majesty, according to one of the people from Goldie Tavisha, the witness had said a strange thing before his last breath. Sam, come! Tell from the beginning what you saw and heard to His Majesty. Without subtracting and also without adding." Hearing the call from Red, the person called by the name of Sam got up from his knees and walked over towards Alvero and Deanda.
From the lack of Deanda talking and from his face, Alvero knew that Deanda felt so disappointed to see the fact that the eyewitness was finally killed and could no longer give his testimony. If only now they were not with many people, it feels like Alvero wants to embrace Deanda's body in his arms in order to give her spirit and can comfort her.
"Your Majesty. Actually, it's been since yesterday that Mr. Red ordered us to keep an eye on witnesses. But apparently, the one who tried to kill him was a professional. From what we see and investigate. The killer entered through the roof of a neighboring house where he was attached to the roof of the witness house. Because he climbed up from the neighbor's house, we don't know when the killer got into the house." Sam tried to explain in detail the murder incident just now.
"We learned that someone tried to attack the witness after shouting from inside the house and the sound of falling objects. We tried to get in through the door but it was locked. We had to break it. By the time we entered this house, the house was already in a mess and blood was splattered everywhere. Looks like the eyewitness put up a pretty tough fight. Upon seeing our arrival, the killer immediately tried to escape through the back door. He's trying to go after the killer." Sam said as he pointed at his friend who appeared to be still crouching in front of the eyewitness's corpse.
"He actually caught the killer. But, just as master Red had said, the assassin suddenly spewed fresh blood from his mouth, after which he suddenly died on the spot. The body of the murderer is still near the back door." Again Sam said as his hand pointed in the direction where the corpse of the killer lay.
"Before death, the eyewitness who was dying said about the Tavisha bunker repeatedly. Looks like it's somewhere important and it's related to him as a witness to Mr. Alexis' case." Hearing Sam's words, Alvero immediately scrunched his forehead.
(Bungker is a kind of military defense building. Bunkers are usually built underground. Many bunkers were built during World Wars I and II. During the Cold War, large bunkers were built in anticipation of a possible nuclear war).
"Bunkers? What does it mean to mention the Tavisha bunker? Is there something there?" Alvero said as he bit his lower lip, with his forehead still frowning.
"At the time of world war II, even though our kingdom does not side with any country. But I heard that the king of Gracetian at that time had set up several bunkers at some point in the city of Tavisha. Even me and Mr. Alexis have seen firsthand one or two of those bunkers." Red responds to Sam's words by adding information he knows.
"I know Mr. Red. In the town of Tavisha there are several bunker locations, but what does the bunker have to do with Eliana? Because besides the king and the royal exclusive guards who are in charge of caring for and maintaining the condition of the bunker, no one can access the bunkers.” Alvero said with a face that looked hard thinking, trying to guess the purpose of the eyewitness mentioned about the Tavisha bunker many times.
“And as far as I am concerned, his Excellency Vincent never once took Eliana there because it was considered an unusual military activity by Eliana." Alvero resumed his words, trying to connect whether there was a connection between the Tavisha and Eliana bunkers, as well as a connection between the bunker and the dead killer.
