DEATH WARRANT
FIRST NOVEL

I was still speechless trying to deduce every detail of the information he said.

''I don't know how you've cracked the details of the cases you've been handling.... Your reputation as a detective on the force isn't so bad. I know that, '' his praise then continued after a few seconds of silence. ''But, judging from the way you deduced the information I gave you, you seem to have a hard time.... I can understand that you were unable to solve this case because your mind and body were controlled by someone else. But, now? Are you free? You still can't confirm the answer?''

''The answer is not to fight!'' my voice is riled.

''Let me tell you my method of analyzing things, Nanda turned her eyes to Nayla. ''A large chunk of stone will look very hard, not that it is indestructible. You just need to find the important point of the stone and then hit it...''

''Nanda, your explanation the longer it gets heavier,'' cut Riko.

''You don't have to hit every inch of rock, you'll be overwhelmed. I mean, the details of the information that Jara gave you don't need to swallow everything, you have to find an important point. Enough one! That way his secrets will be very clearly seen, he explained.

''You mean by knowing that I am under his control, should that clue alone be able to solve everything?''

''Yes.''

''Even his weakness?'' I interrupted quickly.

''Yes, and most importantly how to undo the curse. Riko, Hana and you are still alive today because I know that.''

''Ba-how is that possible?''

''Hayla! What do you think of Nayla?'' Nanda's eyes looked at me full of questions.

''Nayla?'' Riko and I looked at Nayla at the same time.

''I know that when you were under Jara's control you suspected her. Yes, he will be the scapegoat in this case!''

''I admit it's true, '' I said. ''I suspect him. But, that's just an assumption, I don't have any evidence to arrest him.''

Nanda shakes. ''Almost Jara managed to do the plan... The proof is you've got Nayla in the office. About the evidence Jara will control you to make it. It will be found sooner...''

''What do you mean?''

''Before you arrested Nayla, what did you tell her? Etss,'' Nanda held my mouth open. ''I'll guess it! If there's no murder while you're in custody, you'll be HIS P-E-L-A-K-U. Didn't you?''

I just silently swallowed.

''If you have any questions about why Nayla wasn't killed, that's why. Jara wants to make Nayla the culprit. Or do you have another reason why he didn't kill Nayla?''

''Realized so. So, that was also the reason why he sent the records to the orphanage. I finally understood.''

''You haven't answered my question just now!''

''I assume Jara will only kill those who stand in his way. That's why I didn't bring Nayla into the case... Is something going on?''

''I finally understand why you asked Sergeant Radit to leave his family.''

''What do you mean? Don't tell me his family was killed because I sent the Sergeant there?''

''Sister Misya, are you still unconscious? All these murders happened because of you!'' Nayla's eyes were so cold. I remember the first time I saw that sharp look when it was raining in the orphanage. ''I did not accuse you of killing my brother. He was indeed controlled before you, he was not included in this case... Even so, this case can run because of my brother, he continued.

''What is my case with regard to Amelia Earhart?'' My eyes alternately looked at Nanda and Nayla.

''That's why you asked to meet with Nayla huh?''

''You're right, I'm pretty sure Nayla must know something. However, I had to be careful that he did not suspect why I wanted to meet Nayla. That's why I assumed you were lying about Nayla's whereabouts, yes, so you could take me to see her. And sure enough, I found that answer from him.''

''Tu-wait, wait. I remember the night at Jara's old house also saying you knew that what I saw and heard also knew. You mean you're careful of that?''

''Yes, from what else?''

''Why do you know? You don't even know how Jara controls me yet!''

''It's easy, I told you. All the answers are on the curse note! You still remember Andi's hell records?''

''Yes.'' I nodded quickly waiting for his answer.

''It says Andi wants to exercise lifting the barbell in his closet. How did he know that? Has Jara ever been in there?''

''It's very unlikely that he's ever been there. Youre right. He also knew there were stairs there.''

''She even knew Andi was exercising every morning, how did she know?'' The room was silent waiting for his answer. ''Hana or you!''

''What? Just because of that?''

''Only? What do you mean by using the word Only? That's an important clue. Before visiting Andi I took you to her house. Yeah, to make sure that my assumption is correct! You lied to me, you said you never went to her house. But, when you open the door of his house you immediately pull the doorknob up... The doorknob was pulled down to open it! That is, you've been there, not, not just ever. You visit his house often. Didn't you?''

''I don't remember it? I mean I don't remember that I lied.''

''Oh yeah? If you had never been there, I still knew Jara was able to see and hear the people she controlled.''

''You mean Hana?''

''Yes, Hana is Andi's partner!''

''You know that far.''

''Of course, before I met you, I had already searched all of you for information. Just preparation before work, he replied casually.

''Then how could you know Misya was not controlled using records?'' asked Riko, who since then he just silently nodded.

''Oh yes, now that we know, Jara is able to control someone by two methods. First the notes and second the book.'' Nanda pulls the novel Sang Queen which is located on the table. ''Jara's only mistake was to keep Nayla alive. Even if he does not allow it without reason. This book is the answer. You guys remember that Selebgram video?'' We nodded. ''The woman mentioned books written by her brother. There are five books...''

''So, what did you say back then was a trick?''

''Oh that? To kill you huh?''

''I did not realize at all that your words were just a trick!'' I answered annoyed.

''Of course, I have to convey reasonable information so that Jara does not suspect me.'' Nanda smiled thinly. I could only silently accept her vehemently annoying attitude without being able to retaliate.

''This is his first curse!'' continued.
