The Return of the Red Dress

The Arrival of Police

As Via was busy checking the reports, suddenly some people entered into the housekeeping room and knocked on the door of the room Via.

Tok to tok.

“Ya login,” sahut Via

“Good day Bu Via,” said one of the men dressed in police uniform.

“Ya Sir good afternoon, please sit down,” said Via.

“We just want to ask for testimony for the incident that happened to Farida's mother,” he said.

“Mother Farida?”

“Yes right, he who died while in this hotel.”

“Oh yes I know. Then what's up sir?”

“What time at the scene did Mom see the incident?” ask her.

“Actually my position was on the 2nd floor and that was there when one of our staff was named Ronald.”

“Can we meet that guy named Ronald?”

“Can. Wait I call.”

Via called Ronald using his HT and ordered Ronald to immediately go down to the 1st floor and into his room.

Ronald knew that he would be interrogated by the police.

Not long after Ronald came and entered the room Via.

“You named Ronald?”

“Betul Pak.”

“Can you explain how the chronology of events that befell Farida's mother.”

“I also do not know for sure, which is clear when I was busy in the pantry I heard there were people shouting and I spontaneously came out of the pantry. At that time I saw the mother screaming and running and hit the wall. If you are in doubt with my words you can check CCTV,” said Ronald.

“Bu Via can take us to view CCTV footage?” her door.

“Boleh with pleasure,” said Via

Via got up from his seat and walked to the elevator followed by several police officers, when he arrived in front of the operator's room Via asked the operator's staff to show the footage on the 3rd floor of the first corridor.

They watched the tape closely even monitored it very closely.

After seeing the footage they were confused as there was not a single person there.

*** 

A few days later, the police have determined Farida's mother's death as an accident with no element of violence or assault.

Via can breathe a sigh of relief on this, he can return to work with a feeling of calm heart.

Until the time when one part of the hotel was renovated and involved about 10 construction workers and a foreman.

The renovation was intended to expand the rear area of the lobby which will later be made a place to relax with various facilities for guests who wait when checking in or staying overnight.

The construction of the new building runs 20% but there are already many obstacles. 

From the start of the tool that the machine suddenly turns off by itself, the loss of small objects such as a screwdriver, electric drill and others.

Until one day there was something that made the construction stop.

One of the construction workers fell from the stairs to cause his legs to break and worsted there was one worker whose hands were cut off while cutting ceramics. 

Event after incident continued until many construction workers stopped and the development process became slow.

Via was curious what really happened to the lobby area, at 19:00 p.m.

When Via will go home, Via inspects the back of the lobby, a place that is quite moist, dark and will probably make the feathers goosebumps when entering it.

There were only a few lights in the area, Via guessed the position of the construction area and he concluded his position just below the 2nd floor corridor with an old painting on the wall.

‘What does this have to do with the 2nd floor?’ inner Via.
