The Mystery Revealed

“What does all this mean keibu-dono! Why would a stranger seem to be able to talk like that!” grouse Kakuma while looking at Megure.

“Rafsa-kun, you can explain everything right?” ask Megure while sighing deeply.

“Of course the Inspector, he has already chosen his own answer,” replied Rafsa while turning around.

“Let's wipe it out of its roots first. Kasumi-san what time are you out of minimarket?” ask Rafsa.

“Eto.. is usually around eleven o'clock last night, but last night I was not sure what time because my watch seemed to be an error, I also might be too sleepy so not too focused,” replied Kasumi.

“Why do you think so?” ask Raffa again.

“When waiting for a taxi on the side of the road I saw my watch at eleven o'clock at night, but when I went inside I saw the digital clock on the taxi dashboard Mr. Kakuma already showed twelve o'clock, my eyes at that time were also a little blurry due to sleepiness. But the time Mr. Kakuma woke me up to ask where I live to see my watch was the same as the digital clock owned by Mr. Kakuma, but it turns out that after I checked now my watch is one hour faster,” Kasumi said while looking at her watch and phone.

“Good, that time what did Mr Kakuma look like when you got into the cab?” rafsa asked, everyone except Conan and Mirai looked surprised to hear it.

“Eh? Emm..if not wrong to wear the typical uniform of his company taxi, and also. wearing a mask covering his nose and mouth,” replied Kasumi while remembering the incident last night.

“Kakuma-san, why did you wear a mask last night? If the reason is the disease then you should also wear it at this time,” fawning Rafsa while staring at Kakuma.

“I used to wear a mask when I was working! Sometimes I don't like the perfume that passengers wear!” kakuma.

“He, well reasoned like that it is okay. But I know the main reason you did it, it was to avoid the gas you used to anesthetize Ms. Kasumi in the car, well even though I'm sure the evidence you've lost because you have a lot of free time to do it,” explained Rafsa.

“Eh?” again everyone was shocked to hear Rafsa's explanation.

“Indeed, I also have the same thought,” Inner Conan.

“Hoi what are you talking about! If you can't prove what you're saying! I'll sue you!” grit Kakuma was furious.

“Hmm.. I'm not saying I can't prove it, I'm just saying that you may have thrown away the evidence,” said Rafsa calmly.

“Rafsa-kun, I hope you can take responsibility for your words,” Megure said as she stared intently at Rafsa.

“Of course Inspector. Next Miss Kasumi, where were you awakened by Mr Kakuma?” ask Raffa again.

“If it's not wrong it's not far from here, on route B the highway in front of this building,” Kasumi replied.

“That's about fifteen minutes from here if you use the car,” sela Sato.

“That time you checked your watch?” ask Rafsa.

“No, the time down from the car then I checked it again and it turns out it is the same as the digital clock owned by Mr. Kakuma which is at one more time. If it is not wrong at that time, Mr. Kakuma also said that I might have just seen it wrong because of sleepiness,” explained Kasumi.

“Did you also see the clock at home from last night?” sato asked as he looked at Kasumi.

“Iye, I went straight to sleep because I was too sleepy so I had not seen the clock at home or on the phone,” Kasumi replied as she shook her head.

Raffa just smiled, he then began to explain the analysis he had deduced to date. Rafsa said that when Kasumi got into Kakuma's car it was only eleven, while the digital clock in the taxi was deliberately set by Kakuma to 12 pm to make his alibi.

Just when Kasumi entered Kakuma immediately using the anesthetic gas filled his car, so Kasumi hunted sleepy before remembering to say the address he was going to. After that Kakuma started to run his car to a place that is not reachable by CCTV of the apartment building, he knew all his blind spots after many times coming here to pay attention to the situation and conditions.

Kakuma went straight to Takaoka's apartment room and pretended to visit there, most likely they had known each other before. When Takaoka was caught off guard he stabbed her with the knife he had prepared, after which he started burrowing house barricades to look like a robbery accompanied by murder.

Rafsa also explained that the sound of broken glass heard by Conan, Mirai and Yumi is just a recording that is set to sound at one night. The device is stored by Kakuma glued with duct tape on the bottom of the balcony floor. While the glass that broke itself actually Kakuma broke without causing the slightest sound.

“Eh how can?” asked Yumi who looked surprised.

“Can you, look at the curtains there. Kakuma-san must have removed the glass from the frame first and wrapped it using curtain cloth until thick, then he smashed the glass with blunt objects to pieces. Then he put the glass as if the robber broke it, he also separated all the curtains randomly to various places so that the trick is unknown,” explained Rafsa.

Rafsa's guess does make sense because in the sills where the glass is not seen a piece of broken glass, which is broken, should if indeed the robber broke it while the glass is still attached then there will be a few pieces of glass pieces left in the frame. After a careful look it turns out that in some curtains lying there there are also small glass fragments left behind.

Rafsa then explained that Kakuma immediately put up a rope to make it look like the robber was passing through there, he also deliberately damaged the apartment door to make it look more real robbery. He then goes out of the apartment and returns to the car where Kasumi is still asleep due to the drug.

Kakuma immediately gas-fired to Route B highway, Rafsa believes that Kakuma also dumped all the evidence somewhere along the road including blood-stained clothes, hand shirts, and hand shirts, gas and so on. After arriving at Route B, Kakuma arranged for Kasumi's watch to be the same as his digital watch, that way he hopes Kasumi increasingly believes that when he gets into the car is twelve and gets to his house at one night, if it works then his alibi will be perfect.

After that, Kakuma woke Kasumi up when he arrived at route B, not forgetting Kakuma gave reinforcement by saying that since Kasumi entered it was twelve pm, Kasumi must have believed it because she was very sleepy due to the effects of drugs. Because the effects of the anesthetic still work must be Kasumi is still sleepy until finally sleeping without checking the clock first.

“Isn't that Kakuma-san?” ask Rafsa.

“That's just your essay, boy! Remember I'll sue you! You have no proof!” kakuma Ancam.

“Then what does that random writing Rafsa-kun mean?” ask Megure.

“Oh, I forgot to explain. Actually after Kakuma-san stabbed Takaoka-san, the victim was still not dead. He wrote down the clue while Kakuma was busy ruffling his house,” said Rafsa as he walked closer to the blood on the floor.

“SOFAR AS. This writing is indeed derived from Indonesian, if separated then SO FEAR which means sugoku kowai. Whereas if the word SO AFRAID is interpreted into English then it will be SO FEAR. Because the writing is without spaces it will be SOFEAR,” said Rafsa while pointing to every letter of the blood writing.

“Then what does SOFEAR mean?” conan asked with a sharp look.

“No meaning,” replied Rafsa with a smile.

“Eh? What does this have to do with this case?” tanya Megure seems to represent everyone there who looks confused, Rafsa just smiles because they may not know Indonesian.

“If SOFEAR is read without spaces it will sound to be SOFIR or DRIVER. Well in Indonesian, DRIVER means driver or untenshu in Japanese,” said Rafsa with a smile with both hands re-inserted into his pocket. Everyone in the place was immediately stunned to hear Rafsa's explanation which did make sense.

“Buktanya? Where's proof? Don't you say the evidence is just that writing, it could have been the robber who wrote it or you guys who misinterpreted it,” Kakuma denied.

“You want to avoid getting to what extent Kakuma-san is!” snapping Rafsa with a sharp gaze made Kakuma instantly speechless.

“The evidence is on Miss Kasumi's watch which is a few hours late, I'm sure the police will also find the rest of the evidence you threw on the road. I'm sure Kasumi's watch has your fingerprints, too, because you will not be able to get into the car with hand shirts and clothes covered with blood because you are afraid to leave traces in the car, I'm sure you set up Kasumi's watch after you store the evidence of your clothes and hand shirts in plastic and throw them somewhere,”.

Everyone was shocked to hear it. Only Conan and Mirai look ordinary, they may already know about Kakuma's tricks and alibis including his fingerprints on Kasumi's watch only they are confused about deciphering the random writing left by the victim. At that moment Kakuma immediately knelt on the ground crying.

Seriate…
