Crown Prince Sanggana
Sedupa 55: The Secret Permanent Killer
*Seteru Two Islands (Sedupa)*
On the night of the deal with the King of Bandelikan, Tadayu and Gandang Duko immediately acted. Whereas in time, tracking and chasing people who have long gone at night, obviously ninety-nine percent is impossible. That means there is a one percent chance to be able to pursue and find the perpetrator of the murder of Prince Bangir Kukuh whose body has not been buried.
Like a real detective, the two princes of Pulau Tujuh Concubine began their investigation from TKP (Murder Bed). They were shown a secret passage in the prince's room.
“From his fists, it's obviously a man's fist,” Gandang Duko said as she examined the blackened bruises on the stomach of Prince Bangir Kukuh's corpse, according to Reuters, though he knew that it was left behind by the science of Boxing Cipta Kenang owned by Princess Gunira.
The conclusion was deliberately Gandang Duko voice in front of King Bandelikan so that the king so come to conclude that the killer of his son is a man, not a woman. That's how Tadayu and Gandang Duko protect Princess Gunira from suspicion.
At the search stage at night, it is clear that Your Majesty is unlikely to join. Even in the class of Commander Kumbiang, he would have difficulty if he forced to participate in the search at night, let alone having to explore the vast mountain forest.
While in the rural areas, the soldiers remained on patrol in large numbers. The night clearly looked different, as many torch flames were moving at various points.
The secret path turned out to lead Tadayu and Gandang Duko to an abyss that was difficult for ordinary people to pass through. At that time Tadayu and Gandang Duko were still accompanied by the Commander of Kumbiang and several torch-carrying soldiers.
“Give me your fire, Gandang!” tadayu Pinta.
Without refuting, Gandang Duko then made a powerful movement within.
Surs!
Suddenly a pair of Gandang Duko's hands gave rise to a huge yellow flame, which was instantly thrown into the air. In the air that night, the two yellow fireballs met and became bigger, like a pair of flames that were overjoyed because of their marriage.
The fire illuminated the surrounding area. With a look of caution, Tadayu read the area of the ravine. In his analysis of the place, he made his sister a barometer. He knew his younger brother's character and was also familiar with his powers.
According to Tadayu, the terrain of such a forested abyss was not a difficult path for Princess Gunira. Tadayu and Gandang Duko could surmise, about which side Princess Gunira and Prince Rebak Semilon will go to leave the end of the secret path.
“Ke there!” point Tadayu towards one side of the cliff that has many prominent tree roots. According to his thoughts, Prince Rebak Semilon's class was also able to get through it.
Gandang Duko quickly flashed and perched on the roots of a tree that jutted on the cliff. A total of three jumps were made by the young man to arrive at the lips of the ravine that was comfortable to stand. And along with that, the great fire that had made the place bright, shrunk in the air and then extinguished.
“Commander, do you want to come?” ask Tadayu.
“I trust you. We simply deliver until here,” replied Commander Kumbiang.
“Alright,” says Tadayu. He then took one torch from the hand of one of the soldiers.
Next, Tadayu flashed a quick jump agilely on the cliff by utilizing the overhanging tree roots. In a short time, he had already reached the side of Gandang Duko.
Gandang Duko then raises four fireballs as big as a coconut shell without coir. That's the science of Fire Dogs name, it works street lighting other than to burn anything.
“Control two fires, Tadayu,” said Gandang Duko.
“Good,” says Tadayu. He put out the torch in his hand and threw it away. He then moved both hands and took control of the two fireballs that were agelessly lit without fuel.
Tadayu could control two fireballs that he could move there and here all he wanted.
“Time to run, Tadayu,” said Gandang Duko then ran normally to the right and to the left, like there is no definite direction. His two fireballs flew one spear in front of him, as if becoming a guide dog and streetlight. That is one of the reasons why science is called Fire Dog.
Tadayu also came running while busy looking at the road and controlling the two Fire Dogs. Lari Tadayu is not as busy as Gandang Duko. That was because Fire Dog was not Tadayu's little toy, so he had to struggle adjusting and familiarizing himself.
Tadayu also ran here and there with the same pattern as Gandang Duko. They do it just to find a trace. And the result ….
“Here is a fine footprint of four feet!” shouted Gandang Duko who found faint footprints on the ground.
After knowing its direction, then they immediately darted fast. When they lost track altogether, then they returned to conducting the quest by relying on Fire Dogs.
Short story.
After searching for two-thirds of the night, the trail tracking and pursuit led the two young men to a cave on one side of the foot of Mother Mountain.
“You can feel the existence of both of them?” tadayu asked Gandang Duko, as they stood at the mouth of the pitch-black cave.
“I don't think my sister's sleeping. Try throwing fire inside,” said Tadayu slowly.
Whuss!
Without hesitation, Gandang Duko directly threw two Fire Dogs into the cave. The two flames could fly around and around into the cave which automatically illuminated the area it was passing through.
Blar blar!
Zig!
Suddenly two explosions were heard inside the cave as two fleeting bursts of light appeared.
Along with that, from inside the cave room protected from view, darted along the green light with curved tracks attacking Gandang Duko. The young man quickly jumped dodging, making the green light disc shatter a small tree until it fell.
The atmosphere of the cave was dark again. There was a movement of two body shadows that moved into the mouth of the cave.
“Will it be, Brother Gandang?” ask the person who is a woman.
“Iya, the two of us, Sister,” Tadayu replied quickly.
“Hah! Just surprising!” the girl who was none other than Princess Gunira.
“What do you guys want?” ask the other person. The one who drew the sword was Prince Rebak Semilon.
“We're looking for your brother's killer, Prince,” said Gandang Duko.
“Come, we have to talk inside!” take Tadayu without any tone to want to fight, because in essence they all want Prince Bangir Kukuh killed.
So the night before dawn, the talk of eight eyes was held seriously in the cave. No laughter was heard between them.
“Almost all suspect that the perpetrator of the murder was an insider in the Royal Family because the killer knew the secret way. If you two knew about appearing on Mother Mountain, the Prince could have been suspected. The King and the Empress knew that the Prince was on board the Queen's ship, Goddess Ara. If it turns out later it is known that the Prince was not on the ship when the ship was already in port, the Prince could be suspected easily,”, Tadayu said.
“Tonight too, the Prince should go home to the Palace, do not hide. If the Prince was on board, how could the Prince not go straight home when he heard his dead brother was killed. Better Prince think of the reason for the late Prince ascending to the Palace,” said Gandang Duko too.
“True too. But, what if anyone finds out that I didn't come home with the Empress Gusti's ship?” prince Rebak Semilon.
“We and Princess Uding Kemala bear witness that the Prince is coming together on the ship. Gusti Empress and her people will not testify, because they already do not care and tomorrow morning will sail to Green Coral Island,” said Tadayu.
“But I'm not good at crying pretend,” said Prince Rebak Semilon still stricken confused.
“Prince only need to be angry, just as when Prince angry to Prince Bangir Kukuh,” said Gandang Duko lightly.
“After that, we need a black dog to be a false suspect as the killer of Prince Bangir. We have to keep Prince Bangir's killer a secret. Your Majesty has promised to bless me and Princess Uding Kemala if I find the murderer. So I need someone who can be blackened.”
“There must be something to blacken, Brother,” Princess Gunira told her lover.
“If Your Majesty has not hated the Island of Seven Concubines, the relationship of the Prince with my brother will be easy in the future,” Tadayu said.
“There may be royal prisoners who can be made into black dogs,” said Gandang Duko.
“There. My uncle who once wanted to kill Father,” said Prince Rebak Semilon.
“Good. That's the right dog. We just plan his disappearance from prison and kill him outside!” gandang Duko said excitedly, as if she had found the right solution.
That was the result of the negotiations of the four of them.
Within two days, the secret plan was finished playing out with the murder of the younger brother of King Bandelikan by Tadayu secretly. With the label of the king's younger brother as the killer of Prince Bangir Kukuh, then the real killer remains a secret.
Thus the end of the story of revenge Princess Gunira and Prince Rebak Semilon. As for the love plot of the princes and princesses that was next, it was up to them. (BH)
