RAISINS (Mystery Stories)
Red-clad Women

"Miss Vanessa. Is it true that Miss is Mr. Andy's affair?"

"Is that right, last night you two were just, together at the hotel?"

*PRANG!

"Hiks... Basic guy b*r*ngs*k!"

*glek! the glek!

"Well!"

*kring!

"Hiks...! Another stupid notification! You traitors! claiming to be my fans, but only because of unproven rumors!

It wasn't all my fault! Guy b*r*ngs*k! that's what set me up! he accused me, by taking me to the hotel! because he said there would be a new movie project and he offered me the role of the woman.

YAAA! this is not fair! why just me?! Why am I being blamed for the man's lies!"

The woman named Vanessa, who can only cry so much, saw the news on television proclaiming herself as the dark lover of the actor named Andy who was also his friend when High School.

As he checks his phone, threatening messages and hate speech from Andy's wife appear in his cell phone notifications, adding to his growing emotions.

Vanessa, who has just started her career as an actress, has to accept the harsh reality of gossip that is widely circulated in the community.

Vanessa has starred in many famous films, although she only started her career as an actress two years ago.

She who previously only played as a supporting role, has now become a female lead in various films.

After the last film he played finished he had not received an invitation to play another film.

While waiting for his free time, he also made food recipes and pastries content on his YouTube channel.

Not long after, Andy also contacted Vanessa to the hotel on the grounds of wanting to invite her to play a movie with him.

How surprised Vanessa after knowing the theme of the film that she and Andy will play.

The movie he and Andy are going to play is an adult movie. Of course Andy's invitation was rejected by Vanessa considering Andy who already has a wife.

Not accepting his invitation rejected by Vanessa, he spreads fake news by photographing Vanessa in the hotel secretly, assisted by Andy's manager named Ricky.

Leveraging the advances in technology, Andy and his manager edited the photos of Vanessa they took secretly and immediately spread them on social media.

Just because the photos were edited, Vanessa had to endure such a huge insult from her fans.

Unable to bear all the insults he received, he decided to end his life by slicing his neck in front of a mirror using broken glass bottles.

At that time she was wearing a red dress, a birthday gift from her best friend named Rafael.

*While it's at the police station.

*kriee...

*C!

"Fuuuh~ Rafael. How's it?"

Said Rafael's cop partner Frodo.

"I've autopsied the victim. There was one bullet lodged in the victim's lungs. It's in the heart, and in the victim's head."

Said Rafael who showed the results of his examination to Frodo.

"That means it's been confirmed if the death toll from being shot by the perpetrator."

"No. The victim was dead before he was shot."

"What did you say?! How could that be!"

"You're! Look I've photographed it for you. There was a wound on the victim's neck as well. As the perpetrator uses a very thin thread, so that the wound is not too visible, the wound is covered with a fold of the victim's neck.

The perpetrator made use of the body of a fat corpse and it seems like the culprit is not just one. I heard you've caught the culprit, which means there's only one person you've caught."

Rafael.

"Is that so? judging from his injuries it looks like the victim was attacked by more than one person on a different day."

"Absolutely. After all, the victim's body was only found five days after it was declared missing by the victim's family."

"All right then. I have to check it again. I'll interrogate the culprit again."

"Oh yes. Can you call Simon and Trevor, too? I need both of them's help to deliver the bodies to the victims' families, because they're done at the autopsy."

"All right."

Frodo said as he walked out of the autopsy room.

Rafael, who had finished autopsying the body, immediately closed the body with a white cloth.

While waiting for Simon and Trevor, he washed his hands and put his equipment back together after an autopsy.

When he was finished, he came out of the storage room of the bodies that had not been taken by their families.

As he was about to exit the mortuary, he noticed a shadow in front of him.

Rafael, who was used to his work, decided to ignore what he saw.

"Simon and Trevor for a long time! Ow hell! I left my phone in the room! Huh!~"

Rafael said as he reached into the pocket of his pants.

While reaching into his pants pocket, his wallet suddenly fell out of his pocket and a photo came out of his wallet.

The photo is a graduation photo he took with his two friends. His two best friends are Vanessa and Andy.

After graduation the three of them choose their own path. Vanessa and Andy chose the profession as actors and actresses, while Rafael as the Police Forensics Team.

"Hiks... hicks..."

"Who's there!"

 Rafael was surprised.

Suddenly, the photo suffered an awkwardness. Portrait of Vanessa wearing a high school uniform suddenly bleeding from her neck followed by the sound of a woman crying closer.

Not long his attention was broken, because he heard the rush of footsteps and the sound of a hospital bed that was pushed tightly.

*DRPRK!

"Raphel!"

Simon and Trevor spoke compactly as they pushed the hospital bed with a corpse covered in white cloth.

"What's wrong?"

"Raphelle... Why don't you answer my phone?"

Ask Simon.

"Ah... that. I left it in my room."

"Raphelle. Have you seen the news on television?"

Ask Trevor.

"What are you talking about? How would I like to see it? I just autopsied the body of the shooting victim this morning. So, whose body are you carrying?!"

Simon and Trevor instantly fell silent, they both looked at each other, confused how to tell Rafael that the corpse they were carrying was the corpse of his best friend, Vanessa.

"Why are you quiet?! I'm asking you both! Then let me see for myself!"

Rafael said as he opened the white cloth that covered the corpse.

"Wait Rafael!"

Stop Simon and Trevor.

How shocked Rafael was to see the corpse he saw was the corpse of his best friend, Vanessa who was still wearing a red dress with an incision wound on her neck.

Raphael, who saw Vanessa's stiffened body, could not believe what he saw, shook Vanessa's body, trying to wake her up.

Of course, what he did was in vain, because Vanessa was dead.

"Vanessa! Wake up! Don't sleep here! No kidding! Let's wake!"

Rafael said while crying.

"Raphelle... He won't wake up."

Trevor said while holding Rafael's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry."

Simon's Speech.

"I... just wanted to apply for you.. Once my job is done! YAAA!"

Rafael, Trevor, and Simon autopsied Vanessa's body to determine the cause of her death.

The next day... Rafael, Trevor, and Simon carry Vanessa's body to her parents' house.

Vanessa's fellow actresses, actors and fans, who still support Vanessa, arrive at the funeral home, followed by Andy and his wife.

Seeing the arrival of Andy who excites Vanessa takes a grin, making Rafael board the apoplexy, plus after he sees the news on television about the Vanessa and Andy scandal.

He immediately threw a punch to Andy's face to make everyone there surprised.

*BUYOH!

"Yeah! What are you doing! Why did you hit my husband? Don't you know who he is?!"

Andy's wife Regina slaps Rafael in the face.

"Ohokay! Whoa?! Is this Rafael?! Is this a warm welcome for an old friend?!"

Andy said with a grin.

"Are you not ashamed?! How dare you still think of yourself as my friend and Vanessa! I'm so sick of seeing your face! If only Simon and Trevor hadn't held me back, I would have beaten you to death!"

"Basic doesn't know himself! Aren't you scared? If I'm gonna sue you? Moreover, you are a policeman! Isn't your work worth it?! Aren't you afraid of losing your job?!"

Andy.

"I don't care! I just hope that you and everyone involved in spreading bad rumors about Vanessa will be crushed to death by the spirit of Vanessa wearing a red dress!"

Rafael.

"Well! Funny how you cursed me? Do you believe in ghosts?! you are a policeman! Heh!

My presence here is very welcome. Well. I better go."

Andy said as he left followed by his wife and manager.

the next day, news of a car accident hit Andy and his wife with a mysterious trail of car mirrors wrapped around a red thread.

Not long ago... Ricky, Andy's manager was pronounced dead with a red ribbon wrapped around his neck.

When the CCTV in his house was checked only seen the movement of Ricky a man who suddenly took a red ribbon and wrapped the red ribbon around his neck.

Strange events also happened to the fans who commented badly about Vanessa, they were all killed with the position of the hand holding a red cloth.
