Honey And Toxins (Not a Common Contract)
Chapter 21: Micky Mouse

The officials were seen attending the funeral ceremony of the Director of ED corporation. Damar as the person closest to him is believed to be the head of the mourners.

To build relationships and public view. Ammar and Irene went to the funeral. Unlike the others who were dressed in black, Irene instead wore a bright yellow suit that made her stand out most among the mourners. In addition to thick makeup and bright red lipstick color. His appearance is very striking.

He and Ammar entered the funeral hall. Warmly welcomed by the family and also Damar there.

"Irene.. Why are your clothes so?" whispered Damar, he was relaxed because his age was the same as their parents.

"Why? Is there a special ban?"

"You have no respect for the bereaved family" Damar said..

"No, not." Irene just moved.

Ammar picked up a flower, then placed it next to the coffin. Irene also laid flowers.

"It's a complete shame." said Irene, but she smiled without showing any concern.

...~~...

Sam and others added another list of victims, the Director of ED corporation. Somehow all the victims are related to Damar. But until now they could not find a bright spot that Damar was the serial killer.

"If it's true you did it. I'm not letting you go!"

Sam felt very disappointed, how could the person who trapped their father instead live freely into a terrible monster.

The incident that killed Ammar's parents, was fully delegated to Mr. Jasman (Birth father of Sam and Sandra) as the manager who held the meeting hall 20 years ago. Police found the cause of the fire from electricity that should not have been used.

On the day of the incident, the electricity at the meeting building was under repair, the repairs were almost complete and the technician himself said the electricity could be used on condition that it did not overload too heavy, such as using a device that requires more than 5000 kWh of power.

Jasman who had intended to use auxiliary power for electricity also undo his intention, after all the budget will be too large if he uses tools. anyway the event is only a meeting between business people who share relationships.

For such an event, all you need is lights, AC and a microphone. Jasman believes it won't be more than 3000 kWh.

But as the event was just running for half an hour, a huge explosion suddenly occurred from the electric control room. And it just so happened that two couples who were none other than Denias and Erland and their wives were preparing in a special room. A powerful explosion instantly destroyed the room because it was so close, the rest was just a blaze that struck the entire building until everyone managed to save themselves except for the two couples who died, namely the Leader and his deputy and their wives.

The incident was eventually carried out by Jasman on charges of carelessness. For killing 4 people, negligence, and causing dozens of people trauma, Jasman was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

That's why Sam and Sandra insist on re-examining the case to clear her father's good name. They're collecting evidence that lawyers didn't have time to collect. Opening a long-buried case, it was Sam and Sandra's main goal to open their own office.

But it is unexpected that they were met with Nara who seemed to bring a clear line between murder and tragedy 20 years ago.

"Why is he..?" nara asked, she approached Irene who was drinking cold water in the kitchen.

"Oh yeah, his mood was always like that. Can't be guessed." said Irene, she smiled. But his smile also looked bitter.

"So I looked around the house.." Nara tried to open the chat.

"This house is so boring, isn't it?" Irene responded.

"I saw Micky Mouse painting on the third floor, you painted it?" it felt strange, there were no children in the house. But why are there cartoon character paintings?

Irene pulled up the bar stool, then sat down. He smiled for a moment as he could feel Nara's curiosity.

"The painting was made by Ammar, probably about 10 years ago."

"uhuh..?" Nara's eyes widened, she couldn't believe hearing that.

"From childhood he loved Micky Mouse a lot. Rats are smart, jolly, and have many friends. Ammar is very fond of the cartoon. But now Ammar is changing. He hasn't liked Micky mouse since he was an adult."

Nara was silent for a moment, then did Ammar now hate the character of Micky mouse? that's why Ammar called him a bully rat.

"That's why he always calls me a rat." - lirih Nara monotonous.

"But seeing that he didn't want to throw the painting away, in his heart he must still really like Micky mouse. It's possible that he harbored, or that he himself didn't realize."

Ammar's very closed attitude makes Irene also unable to understand. Ammar is open to several things, but about how his personal feelings, whether he is happy or not. Whether he was comfortable or not, Ammar never said that. Until unconsciously it makes Irene do all things to her will, treating Ammar well according to her point of view only.

...~~~...

After a long time of searching, Irene finally found the manager of the building who 20 years ago was accused of negligence that killed her parents. That person is none other than Jasman who is still in prison.

It was Sam who covered up her father's identity, that's why Irene had such a hard time figuring out. He was very sure Jasman was just a scapegoat that was deliberately trapped by Damar.

Meanwhile, Sam, he tried to cover up his father's identity for fear of being re-examined, if considered using the current law. His father could be sentenced to death. He was afraid that one day the child of the victims would sue and blame his father.
