Pickup Transportation
Section 245: Hestia 9
“Good Mr. Nicko, such as the summons we have sent three times and the father did not come too, then we picked up by force, because there are some things related to the Suminah case that has passed.”
“What! Suminah is dead!” Nicko looked very surprised, he really looked sad and hit.
The news of Suminah's death was indeed covered, because at that time the media that the public could reach only the newspaper, then silencing the newspaper was the only way that information about the death could be covered very well.
The purpose of covering up the death was, to give a quiet effect to the killer, so that he did not plan anything to build an alibi, had no preparation to escape.
“Yes, Suminah is gone, her body found in a well, mutilated.” Dirga explained, after being explained, Nicko seemed to want to vomit, but was restrained.
There are two possibilities when people hear of a sadistic murder he wants to vomit, first, because he is disgusted and does not want to hear it, in his life rarely found cruel things, then second is, he said, disappointment is very deep, to make his body rebel, starting from shortness of breath and then felt like vomiting.
I don't know which Nicko is, but for Dirga, this proves, that Nicko is not the culprit. For the two reasons above, whichever one answers Nicko's body's reaction, explains that he is not the culprit.
“Where are you currently on this date?” Dirga continued to interrogate, so that he had a solid foundation to give a statement later on Nicko's status as a witness, could be limited to witnesses, or even rise as a suspect.
“It was a long time ago, where I remember, but briefly, this is the time where my son had to prepare his initiative, because the next day he had to collect the task of the masterpiece, build a building, and, me and my son all day doing that task together, even I did not enter the office to help, yes, right on this date.” Nicko explained with certainty, usually people do remember the dates that have memorable moments, as Nicko remembered that it was an important date for his son.
“Alright, have you been right all day at home?” Dirga asked again.
“Ya, of course ... briefly. I went to the stationery store, because there were some less tools. That'sthat's all. After that I was home again all day.”
“How long have you been to the stationery store?” Dirga asked.
“Around, half an hour.” Nicko said with certainty.
Half an hour isn't enough to kill someone and mutilate them.
“Is anyone able to prove that you only went for half an hour going to the stationery store.” This is difficult to prove in fact, only witness that can be the basis of Nicko's testimony.
“Proof? I went to drive myself because that day Darmin my driver did not enter, permission was sick, before leaving, I greeted my neighbor, he happened to be on an afternoon walk, after greeting him, he said, I rushed to the ATK store for fear of closing, the ATK store that I was going to, was open until before magrib only. Then after going to the ATK store I immediately went home, afraid that my son would lose his spirit to build a masterpiece if I over time, when I came home, he said, the neighbor who was walking around had also just finished the afternoon walk. You can call him a witness, because I have no other evidence, my son can not be asked for information because he is a minor right? my wife is also the same, because it could have the potential to give false statements.
But my neighbor, he can be trusted because of a man who has a background in law, he's a prosecutor.”
“Alright, give the name and address, I will ask the person for the next testimony. Then, is it true that rumors say that you are his dark lover Suminah?” He asked more sensitive questions.
Nicko fell silent, he took a deep breath, then started talking, “Seharusnay information like this should not go outside, so my wife does not need to know right?”
“Your testimony is protected by law, so you can freely speak honestly without fear of others knowing.” Dirga gives a sense of security for his testimony.
“Yes, we are indeed a dark couple, because I have a wife and children, so our relationship can never be legalized, I love her so much, she makes my life more colorful. I have a high level of stress about work and the demands of my family and wife to always be successful in work.
While Suminah, giving her something different, she was very obedient, doing whatever she wanted so badly, she was an innocent good girl, I loved her so much, even intending to marry her under the hand, she said, but it turns out destiny says another.” Nicko wiped the tears that came from the end of his eyes, his crying was not excessive, but it was very visible that he was sad and disappointed. The only woman who respected and appreciated him was gone.
“Isn't that so, Suminah someone who could have threatened you with your affair?” Dirga attacked again, because he had to keep touching all the suspicious aspects.
“No Sir, because I had more time with him than my wife, and I also gave a lot of money for Suminah to have fun, so it can be said that my wife should be angry, he said, because he didn't get enough of my time, and the money I gave him was for the whole family, although it was a lot but it was my obligation, while Suminah got my money just because of her submissive attitude to me.”
“Your wife knows about your affair with Suminah?”
“Do not know .. as far as I can see. But we both know, if every wife has a strong instinct.”
“Your wife never raised objections to your little time and also her suspicions on you? aren't wives always like that? they'll explode when suspicious?”
“This is what I admire about my wife Sir, she's a very cold person, has high principles and if until she gets suspicious and explodes, she'll definitely feel inferior, because it's possible that I admit, or maybe he's already got proof that I cheated. So he just kept quiet, even though his attitude was getting colder and very demanding of me even harder about the company, he did not work or interfere about the company, he did not work or interfere about the company, but he wanted my company to be famous so that he could boast in front of all his party colleagues, important people, official wives, he said, my wife has the ability to build good relationships with rich people.
“Alright, then, I will schedule to ask for your wife's testimony, for you, I guess enough, I will make sure everything you say is true and cross-check the witnesses you mentioned earlier.”
“Pak, can I see Suminah's body? Because ... I want to see it last time.
“Can, we preserve the body for the purpose of investigation, but you must be accompanied by Police, avoid the experiment of tampering with the evidence.” Dirga did not hesitate to say that, because Suminah's body must be protected so that the investigation process can run well.
“I will not damage the body of the lover I love so much, Sir.” Nicko is sad again.
The session to ask for testimony to him was over, Dirga let Nicko go home, because soon the testimony session of Deden, the person who showed Suminah's body yesterday first.
...
“Alright, thank you for coming after our call letter you received. Brother Deden already knows why he was called here?” Dirga asked. He looked tired from being busy taking care of the Suminah case.
“Iya Sir, about the death of Suminah.”
“Well, then I will not mince words anymore, now can explain what your relationship with Suminah is?”
“We're friends since childhood, Sir.” Deden answered briefly, it could not be denied the look of worry adorning his face.
“Alright, then is it true that you testified to the local police that you saw a suspicious car on the night Suminah went missing?”
“Iya Sir,” the answer is short again.
“Isn't it already night? Why can you clearly remember the license plate, me and the team have checked the place that he said parked the car when you saw it that night. It is difficult to see the license plate because the lights on the road are dim, not bright. Then how can you see the plate clearly and memorize it?”
Deden was silent, he looked increasingly agitated, but one thing he knew, This cop is not a random cop, he knows there is a gap in every testimony.
“Actually .. I saw the car very often, it picked up Suminah almost every day, I memorized the plate and when night came, I can be sure it is a car that used to pick up Suminah in just one look.”
“You stalked Suminah?” Dirga was suspicious.
“No, I did not stalk him, I was a motorcycle taxi driver, often in front of the alley, so I often saw the car milling around to pick up Suminah.”
“But, even if it is like that, is it not awkward if you memorize the license plate, what is it for?” Dirga cornered Deden.
“Only ... order ... I mean ... I only ....”
“You like Suminah too right?”
Deden looked at Dirga with an angry look, what he had hidden from earlier was finally discovered as well.
“Pak, is loving someone wrong?”
“Wrong if you make someone else a victim.”
“I did not kill Suminah, Sir!” Deden yelling.
“I did not say that you killed him, I asked, do you like Suminah?” Dirga sees Deden in his trap.
“Yes, I do like and love her, that's why I won't kill her.” Deden.
“You know, only a suspect knows, where his victims are buried, don't you only know, where Suminah's body is buried?” Dirga accused directly, because he was accused, Deden had to be cornered to confess.
