The River House

XX. Guests at one night

Dock dock

At exactly 1 p.m., the door was knocked from the outside. Erwin and Mr. Nyoto who was sitting in the living room were quite shocked to hear it. The two of them exchanged looks in silence. Who is outside the house knocking on the door?

"Who is Sir? Mas Ali or Ma'am Andewi huh?" Erwin asked half a whisper.

"Or don't mediate the jungle waiter Nak Erwin," said Mr. Nyoto quickly.

Erwin tried to deny the possibility presented by Mr. Nyoto, but his little heart was terrified. Because they are currently living in forests far from residential areas. There is a possibility that something mystical happened.

"Duh, Mr. Nyoto instead of making a dare and feel safe, instead make my hair stand up," grumbled Erwin annoyed.

"Keep how's this Erwin's son?" Mr. Nyoto asked. He fixed his sitting position to get closer and tackled Erwin.

"We're men sir, kudu dare dong. Yes, let's see. Come on," Erwin ventured. He moved from his seat.

Glekk

Mr. Nyoto gulped. He was really scared. His knees were limp, but he had no choice. He's tailing behind Erwin.

Doubtfully, the two men walked towards the front door. Erwin took a deep breath, trying to calm his irregularly beating heartbeat.

Arriving at the front door, Erwin strengthened his heart. If there is something bad behind the door, then he has prepared his fist or kick. Erwin grasped the doorknob and immediately pulled it quickly.

Graakkk

Door opens. The cold night air went straight into the house. Two men were seen standing on the front porch. Erwin was a bit surprised to see it. While Mr. Nyoto closed his eyes and grasped the tip of Erwin's shirt tightly.

"Si-who?" Erwin asked after mastering his fear.

"We were from the police force last night on the phone by Miss Anggun" replied the figure who looked more mature. A sturdy figure with a jacket suit and black pants. His eyes look blue exposed to the reflection of home porch lights.

"Ohhh, police," muttered Mr. Nyoto immediately released his hand grip on Erwin's shirt.

"Sorry, can I see the identification?" Erwin asked with caution. He did not want to be cheated, as long as he put strangers into people.

The figure in the black jacket before Erwin smiled at a glance. Then reached into his pants pocket, showing the identifier in his wallet.

"Good vigilance. Introduce my name Bayu," said the police officer after showing identification of his police officer.

"And this is my colleague from the forensic department, his name is Damar" Bayu continued. The man named Damar smiled and slightly nodded his head.

"alright. Please come in," Erwin immediately opened the door wide.

The night air really felt cold to the bone. Two police officers who had just arrived looked exhausted. Naturally, they had to travel through the forest on foot.

Bayu and Damar sat in the living room chair. They took off the slightly wet jacket flushed by the drizzle that had descended from the night sky.

"So we received a call from Ms. Anggun, if there was a sudden death from a guest who visited this house," Bayu said as he folded his shirt sleeves.

"Yes, at dinner one of the guests of Mbak Anggun named Erfan arrived suddenly twitched and died at the dinner table. No one dared to touch him after that. The body is still left at the dinner table" Erwin explained.

"I'm sorry, are you both ready for Graceful Mother?" Bayu asked back.

"Ah, I'm Erwin. The niece of the husband of the Graceful Mother. From childhood I lived with this family" explains Erwin.

"How many people are in this house? Can you tell me the details?" Bayu continued his question.

Erwin nodded slowly. Then he began to recount, starting from the transfer of the Lawanto Ferry family to his new home. The arrival of guests who are friends of friends of Anggun. Until Erfan's sudden death. Bayu mangosteen mangosteen listen. While Damar several times seen taking notes in his pocket book.

"alright. Now, please show me where the body is," pinta Bayu later said.

"Let's come with me" Erwin took with him as he got up from his seat.

Bayu nodded, although fatigue felt all over the body, he still tried to carry out his duties. There was a thumping feeling in his heart when invited to see Erfan's corpse. The feeling he had been waiting for for a long time. A smile fell on his lips unnoticed by others.

Erwin stopped in the dining room. His hand pointed at Erfan's corpse which was stretched stiff in a prone position on the dining table.

"Broom, check it out" Bayu ordered Damar. While he went around observing the dining room that smelled of the carcass.

"Ready sir" said Damar sprightly.

Damar immediately took out special gloves, cameras for shooting, as well as other forensic tools. The forensic officer who looked young showed no expression at all. His face was flat, though he was holding a human corpse.

"After this we may need an hour or two of rest. Tomorrow morning blind, please wake everyone up. I want to ask for information on everyone who is in this house," Bayu told Erwin after touring the dining room.

"But Mr. . .," Erwin seemed hesitant about what he was about to say.

"What's wrong? Something you haven't told me? Or are you hiding something from me?" Tanya Bayu full of investigation.

"Actually after Mas Erfan's death, there were two missing guests of Mbak Anggun" Erwin replied.

"Lost?" Bayu scrunched his forehead.

"First Mas Ali and second Mbak Andevi. Since about 10 pm, the two people are missing Mr. Bayu," explained Erwin.

"Interesting," Bayu smiled for a moment.

"Print police" arrived Mr. Nyoto called Bayu.

"Yes Sir? Is there something you want to say too?" Bayu stared intently at Mr. Nyoto. The gaze of the eyes that made Mr. Nyoto clumsy and uncomfortable.

"Anu Sir. Forgive me in advance, this is just my view as an old man. Maybe all this happened because of the actions of the forest guard, Mr. Police. They do not like anyone living and harassing their territory," said Mr. Nyoto while looking down.

Bayu raised his eyebrows, his forehead looked wrinkled. His face was red withholding laughter. He scratched his non-itchy temple scratch.

"Pak Nyoto, the thing that you said just now was never in my dictionary. And I dare to guarantee that there is no such thing as a mystical thing in this forest. As long as you know, I know and memorize this forest. More than anyone," Bayu smiled meaningfully.

"We'd better go back to the front room to rest. Let my colleagues work, "take Bayu to Erwin and Mr. Nyoto.

"Damar .. . upon completion, your preliminary conclusion is immediately reported to me," Bayu gave the order.

"Well, ready sir," Damar replied sprightly.

From the looks of it, the forensic officer named Damar was so deft and very obedient to Bayu. Erwin was a little amazed by the fast motion of the police officer who had been contacted by Anggun.
