SURO
Tapper again

I stopped fiddling with the cctv footage that was in front of me. The workers were all sculpting, as if feeling nervous when I pestered their work.

I turned the chair I was sitting in, and was directly facing off against those who were standing in line. "Today, who's in charge of overseeing the cctv in Mr. Roxi's room?" I asked, making them quiet and looking at each other.

One of them raised their hand in doubt, trying to glance at my face. "I, sir." he said.

"Let your hands down." I asked, and was immediately followed by him. "You're in charge of overseeing Mr. Roxi's room security?" ask again.

"Yes, sir, every day I served in that section, except at night and at lunchtime. Usually, I stop watching. At night, there's a replacement shift assigned to it." he hesitated.

I nodded and looked at him seriously. "So you were meeting, after the meeting, did you go back to your respective positions, or was there something else you did?" ask again.

They were silent, and no one dared to answer what I said. "Honestly, I won't be angry. Besides, if I get angry, I won't be able to fire you" I said, just to calm them down.

"So, after the meeting.. I'm not going back to work." He paused just to swallow his saliva. "Ma.. Sorry for my negligence."

I took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, while Dita just vilified her face looking at me. Maybe he's on a streak 'cause I'm putting on a power-ass mode. "So, you didn't go back to work after the meeting? Then what are you doing?"

He immediately looked down and looked stifled. "Mii.. Drink coffee, sir." he said, closing his eyes, as if he really felt guilty.

"Drink coffee??" I muttered while thinking. "So that's the reason why you responded so long ago when I broke the cctv camera?? That's because you're coffee and haha hihi?" I said, making him look down in fear while nodding.

"Do you know why I'm asking you all this?" ask me while leaning the body into the chair.

He nodded his head. "Tau, sir." I raised an eyebrow, intending to listen to its continuation. "There's something strange going on in the cctv footage just after Roxi's death. Looks like there's a paused video, in a sense.. There's someone coming inside when we're all busy outside after a meeting."

I propped up my chin with my hand while continuing to look at him. "Why do you think so? Don't think that this is in broken someone from the outside or not?"

He shook. "I don't think that's possible unless someone has tampered with the cctv in this room." he said.

I started to move. "Somebody fiddling with cctv in this room?? Well then, who lives and is in this room when everyone hasn't come back yet?"

My question made them all turn to one person, and that someone was flirting with feeling accused. "It's not me, sir. I did come first, but I swear to Gasth'anhm's loyalty, I don't dare to do such a thing." he said.

"You take it easy, I won't accuse you or anyone else. If it wasn't you guys who did it, there might be people who could hack it from afar. Doesn't rule out the possibility, does it?" reveal me.

All of their faces seemed calm. I glanced around, making sure who to suspect.

Suddenly one of them looked grumpy while holding the earphones in his ear.

"Why you?" ask me while watching him.

He did not respond to me, as if he was busy hearing the voice behind the earphones. I approached, and removed the earphones in his ear. He nodded when he saw me in front of him.

"I'm talking to you. What are you doing?" my question was deep, making him look down and close his eyes, as if feeling scared or feeling caught.

Dita scrunched her forehead. "Why did you get the phone? While I who is the core security part do not get any news at all." he lamented.

"You're not wearing earphones." said the supervisor, making Dita look up when she got a cynical look from me. "So where can I get the message. Besides, these are the earphones of the late Mr. Roxi. Several core teams were assigned to inform Mr. Roxi's family and carry his body. So, I was ordered to hold these earphones temporarily just in case." he explained.

I nodded my head. "It makes sense, but you're like a confused person when you get the message. You should have taken immediate action and alerted the entire security guard, right? Even if you don't intervene, someone is in charge of making repairs, right? You should just call them." I protested.

This cctv supervisor lowered his head with a trembling body. "Ma.. I'm sorry, sir. I still don't understand any of that. I'm used to taking orders and I'm confused what to do if there's something like this. And I also don't know how to contact the team in charge of fixing the security lock" he explained in a nervous voice.

I took a long breath. "You're right. During this time Mr. Roxi who took part in everything, when he suddenly disappeared, everything became confusing. But, you guys are excited, hopefully with the departure of Mr. Roxi, there is no difficulty in working, and.." I stared intently at all of them. "No one has betrayed his promise." I continued, making them all swallow.

I went and left them. From my efforts earlier, there seemed to be no sign of traitors in the room, unless they were really good at acting.

"Oi bocil, actually you want to do anything besides checking cctv?? Looking for a traitor?" ask Dita who walks beside me.

"Followed? Just get mixed up!" ketus balaku.

"There's more or no? Check it out." said a voice not far from us.

I frowned, looking at the crowd of workers who were checking some ornamental flowers in the corners of the room.

"Oi!! What's there?" ask Dita while approaching them.

One of them is Mr. Saipul. He who was crouching with both hands dirty because the soil of plants turned towards us both. "Came, Dit. Here, there are some tappers near the flower pot. Some of them are also on the side terrace near Mr. Roxi's room. There were a lot of them in the room, too... There's someone infiltrating this house, or there's a traitor in this house." said Mr. Saipul, making Dita gasp and panic.

"Ware!! Then, report Mr. Rox-" Dita stopped and did not continue his words. He was silent, as if confused about what to say or what to do.

"There was wiretapping in this house, and I don't know when this thing was attached. We should check it out further, but I'm also confused about who to make a report with. We lost Mr. Roxi, it was like losing a life in the body and losing a head from a limb." said Mr. Saipul.

"If things are so messed up.." Dita immediately glanced at me. "Was this little master, able to help report this matter to the head of the kesdicth'anhm family? You see, all of us, are not authorized to do it." said Dita.

I shook my head strongly. "Where can I!! I can't meet them. Just you, meet mama. You can talk to Mom."

"Oh, is that it?" muttered Dita with her stupid face.

"As for who should report, the point is that now we are desperate to lose Mr. Roxi, it feels chaotic and there is no place to discuss and complain." they murmured again.

Amongst their commotion, I picked up one of the eavesdropping stickers that were near the ornamental flowers.

This sticker... Belongs to the Dicth'anhm race, right?

Seriate...
