The Body of My Son
"UNLOADING TOMB"

WHERE'S MY SON'S BODY ?

Part 9's

Mr. Raden took a long breath. "Then the child's grave must be dismantled and the body removed because the child's family is also looking for him!"

Sulis. 'Dismantle the tomb? It was never done in this village. He and the police may be protested by the villagers. How'this?' inner Sulis confused.

"But sir, in this village there was never a tomb dismantled. I am afraid that if there is a tomb that is dismantled, it will cause pros and cons. After all, it's not necessarily the missing child is the child of the next-door neighbor, is it?" ask Sulis doubtfully. Mr. Raden looked at Sulis seriously.

"Bu Sulis, I have made sure myself that the child found in this house is the same child as the one in my cell phone gallery, that could be a compelling reason for police to dismantle the boy's grave.

I will return to the police and return to this village soon. I will try to help Mrs Sulis and the people whose children are missing. I suspect there's something bigger going on behind this case."

Sulis fell silent and Eko and his cousin said goodbye.

"What is the dismantling of the tomb? That's impossible, sir. In this village there has never been a case that requires the demolition of the tomb," said Mr. Slamet.

Currently, Mr. Raden with an investigation warrant facing Mr. Slamet, the head of the village accompanied by Mr. Eko.

Mr. Raden looked at Mr. Slamet intently, then took out a brown envelope from his pocket.

"I have a warrant to investigate the kidnapping of minors. And if you keep insisting you don't allow the police to carry out the demolition, it means you can deal with the police.

Besides allowed or not, the police will continue to forcibly dismantle the child's grave."

Mr. Slamet was silent staring at Mr. Eko and Mr. Raden alternately.

"I met with Mrs Sulis. And Mrs Sulis told me that the father also promised to help her find her son until she met. Even Mr. Slamet also said he would call the police to investigate, right?

Now that the police are in the village hall office and will help find the case of one of the missing Slamet pack residents, why does it seem to be trying to block our investigation?" ask Mr. Eko.

"I don't mean to obstruct the investigation, I just anticipate if the villagers don't accept the demolition of the tomb because all this time, in this village there has never been a case like this.

But if the police have intervened to investigate this case, I let you do your job. Me and the villagers won't get in the way."

"alright. Thank you for the cooperation. Me and the rest of the police force will soon dismantle the boy's grave. You can come with us to anticipate the citizens who do not accept the demolition of the tomb."

"Well, indeed the villagers here still believe that the demolition of the tomb will make the spirit of the buried body will be angry and bad for the villagers."

"Sir Slamet, as a believer, we know that the deceased, his spirit will return to God. But what is buried is a rough body."

"Yes, Mr. Eko. But we also know that in this nature there are not jinn and other subtle creatures. Who would have known they could have received if the tomb of a deceased person was dismantled?"

The atmosphere suddenly warmed. "Sir Slamet, we will bear all the risks for the sake of the investigation. Insyallah there will be no riot of delicate creatures if one of the meals is dismantled. After all, the subtle-creature that you're worried about has nothing to do with this investigation.

I think my dad is weird too. This father as the head of the village why is it like he is too superstitious and seems pretentious about supernatural beings?"

"Hm, yes I have. Then let's just dismantle the child's grave and return it to his family" said Mr. Slamet relented.

Several men were seen crowding the grave of the boy who was found in Scout uniform under the name Damar. Two men were swinging their hoes carefully in the tomb.

"Stay lifting the wood, sir," one of the members of Mr. Raden reported.

"alright. Then just pick up the wooden block and raise the body."

The crowd of residents looked like prickly shoes when they saw the body of the child who thought Damar was starting to be lifted from the tomb hole.

Some people wearing masks swiftly carried the body into the hearse that had been called from the hospital and took it away.

"Huhuhoo, Rio! Why did you leave mom so soon?!"

The body of the recently discovered child has not yet decayed. But still experience body swelling with a less pleasant aroma.

"Are you sure that this child is a father?"

The two people before the police nodded weakly.

"really. Although her face and body had begun to swell, we were sure that she was our child" said the middle-aged woman before the body with a sob.

"So, don't need a DNA test?"

"No, Mr. police. Thanks for helping us find our son."

"It is our duty to help the people in need, sir. Ma'am. Oh yeah, did you and mom agree to have an autopsy done on the body of your son?" ask Mr. Raden.

"We agree. Although we are not rich, we want to know the cause of our son's death. And if the autopsy results say that our son was killed by Noah, we want the police to find and arrest the perpetrator" said the parent of the deceased child.

"Sir, our son has definitely been killed! You don't remember the story of the police officer when our son was found? He's wearing another kid's uniform.

That's clearly human action, sir. There are people who really want the death of our child and then deceive others who lost their children by dressing the child in our child! Huhuhoo!"

Mr. Raden took a long breath. "Mother and mother are patient. The bodies of our fathers and mothers will be autopsied today. The autopsy process will take one to two hours. But for the cause of death of the father and mother based on the results of the autopsy, usually ready one to two weeks," said Mr. Raden.

"Please do as per the procedure from which my son's killer was caught, sir. I am not sincere in the world and the hereafter if my son dies in this tragic way."

Mr. Raden nodded. "We're going to try to find the perpetrator of his murder as best we can."

**

Mr. Raden started calling one by one the villagers who found the bodies of children from the next village. Including Mr. Slamet, Mr. Broto, Udin, the driver of Mr. Slamet and several other villagers who took the boy home to Sulis.

At first the boy was found by a resident who was looking for fish in the river. But he was surprised to see a body floating in the river. And immediately called the other villagers. Other villagers immediately contacted Mr. Slamet, as the village head.

Even Sulis did not escape the examination. The thirty-two-year-old widow came to the police station as a victim as well as a witness.

Although hesitant, Sulis also told about the spirit of Damar who still appeared before him after Rio was found. But Mr. Raden was only silent when listening to the information from Sulis. But Sulis kept telling her everything she knew including dreams when her son was taken into a room with a human head dog.

Sulis down the highway to return home by riding the motorcycle Mio ex-husband.

In the middle of the road he always thought of Adinda who entrusted her to mbok Darmi.

"Duh, the police believe ya about the mystical things that happened after Damar disappeared? Ah, let's be important I told the police everything" Sulis murmured. "Duh, Dinda fussy isn't ya left to the police? Even though I gave you breast milk in a bottle, I couldn't calm down. Moreover, it has been three hours I left Dinda because waiting for the queue to be checked," continued Sulis again.

Finally Sulis heaved a sigh of relief as she entered the courtyard of Darmi's house with the intention of wanting to ask Dinda back.

Sulis knocked on the front door of Darmi's tightly closed house.

"Mmd! Mbok Darmi's! It's Sulis, Mbok! I have come home from the police. I want to take Dinda again."

There is no solitude. Sulis circled the house mbok Darmi and knocked on the side door of the house mbok Darmi connected to the well outside the house.

Tapping his door to the house mbok Darmi for a while, but still no response. Finally Sulis was reckless, to look at the unlocked room window. Maybe Darmi and Surti fell asleep.

Sulis looked for bricks in the courtyard of Darmi's house and climbed up and peeked out of the bedroom window.

But to Sulis' surprise, he saw a seven-figure flower in a withered tray, two bottles of clay jugs, and, and frankincense in a small jar of clay whose fire has been extinguished.
