Everyone immediately stared at the monitor screen when they heard Zafran's voice, as well as Bayu who was preparing to leave the place.
After making sure everyone paid attention to the front, Zafran immediately played the film he had prepared wholeheartedly for Bayu.
"We see how your face is set to watch this film of my offering" murmured Zafran.
Slowly the video began to spin and showed a state of complete darkness, then suddenly appeared Bayu who was walking along with his subordinates.
Both of Bayu's eyes widened when he saw what was in front of his eyes, he suddenly approached Zafran who was currently looking at him cynically.
"What are you doing? Stop this!" said Bayu sharply. He then attempted to seize Zafran's laptop but was quickly fended off by the man.
"Shut up and enjoy it all, Bayu. Look, you're already like an artist that's watched by a lot of people" Zafran exclaimed.
Bayu's face turned crimson due to being overwhelmed by emotions, while the people who were watching the film looked very surprised and did not expect that Bayu did such a thing.
"Based criminals! So all this time you've been embezzling factory materials, huh?" Pekik the factory manager with emotion. It was fitting that Ryder asked all the names of workers who served in the warehouse, it turns out that they have been committing crimes.
"The base has no shame! How could you betray Mr Ryder like that?" shouted one of the mothers who was a hardline fan of Ryder.
"really. It turns out you're secretly washing away. Though all this time you've always been good in front of other people, but it turns out you stabbed from behind!" yell at the others.
Bayu's face paled hearing the screams for the sake of the shouts that the people gave him, until he chose to turn around and leave the place.
"Where are you going?" asked Ryder who had been standing behind Bayu.
Bayu was glued to where he stood. "All this is just a misunderstanding, Ryder. I, I can't possibly meng-"
Mum.
Ryder's fist floated right into Bayu's face making the male's body fall down on the ground. The people who saw him immediately boisterous and pelted Bayu's body with stones.
"Stop. I'm innocent, I didn't do any of that!" shouted Bayu who was still cool to defend himself
Yara and her colleagues were perplexed when they saw what was happening. As medics, they've vowed to treat everyone without exception. But what would happen if it were like this?
"What should we do, Doctor Yara? His body was wounded" asked Dr. Ansel.
Yara was speechless as she looked at Bayu with a fiery look. "Leave it first, he won't die just from such a wound."
Glug.
Ansel and Lewis immediately swallowed their salives upon hearing Yara's words, they did not expect that the woman would spit out such words.
"Bas on a bastard!"
"Take him to the police station!"
"Shameless, bajing*an brash!"
Everyone continues to berate Bayu to vent their anger, even though there are still other performances that are worse than all that.
"Here you are!" Ryder pulled the collar of Bayu's shirt and threw the man's body towards Zafran, so that it rested right in front of the man. "Open your socks, Zafran!" His order.
Zafran immediately opened his socks and showed the wounds on both legs, while Bayu glared in disbelief.
"You see that wound, huh?" asked Ryder sharply. "That's the wound he got when you chased him last night."
Both of Bayu's hands were tightly clenched. Base bajing*an, it turns out Zafranlah who had eavesdropped on his conversation with his friends.
"No, I didn't do that. I don't-"
Mum.
Ryder returned to blow when Bayu still did not confess, even though all the evidence was plastered in front of everyone.
Bayu's men ran away from the spot when they saw Bayu being arrested, but Edward's men chased them.
"Have it stopped, Ryder. You can make him die" Yara said as she pulled Ryder's hand to stop the blows on Bayu's face.
After Ryder's blow is stopped, Ansel and Lewis soon bring Bayu to be treated. It looked like the man was already very sad without being able to fight back.
"Wait!"
Ansel and Lewis halted their steps upon hearing Edward's call, quickly approaching them.
"Did you also have something to do with Edwin's death?" ask Edward sharply.
Bayu shook his head. "No. Me, I didn't do anything. I'm not guilty." He remains firm.
Lewis and Ansel then continue their steps to treat Bayu, and Edward orders two of his men to keep an eye on Bayu so that the man does not escape.
The atmosphere is very crowded and also scary. Everyone really did not expect that Bayu was embezzling the materials of the factory, also intending to snatch the factory from Ryder's hands.
"We have to dismantle the room, sir," Ryder said suddenly.
Edward was shocked. "What, what do you mean? Why are we dismantling it?" He felt astonished.
Somehow Ryder felt that there was something in the room, and it was strange that Edwin showed up in the room without giving any sign.
"I felt like there was something in the room, so we had to dismantle it" Ryder said.
"Really, Sir. I'm also sure that Edwin's appearance is a sign for us, so there's no harm in checking the room" Zafran said.
Edward nodded his head and agreed with Ryder and Zafran. Then they went to the factory to check it all out.
Some of the community went along with Ryder, while others remained there for fear that Bayu would escape.
Zafran also contacted the police a while ago, and they are still on their way to the village.
Yara also goes along with Ryder and Zafran to see what happens. He felt curious and also anxious, hopefully their guess was not true.
Heavy equipment was forced to disassemble the room. Both the walls, the floor, and everything in the room should not be missed from the examination.
Little by little digging was done to ensure that there was nothing on the floor of the room. However, suddenly the operator stopped his heavy equipment when he saw something.
"There's a human skeleton!"
Deg.
Everyone gasped in shock when they heard the man's words, especially Edward, Ryder, Zafran and Yara who immediately approached the excavation.
"Innalaillahi," cried Yara when she really saw the corpse of a human who only lives in the skeleton in the hole.
Rayder and Zafran are glued to their place when the conjecture in their minds turns out to be true, and it is certain that it is Edwin's corpse.
"No, my son!" edward shouted after a moment of glare at the human skeleton before his eyes. "Edwin, Edwin!" He shouted back when he saw a necklace on the body of the corpse, and the necklace was the one he gave his son.
Edward wept as he sat on the ground. He roared when he saw what had happened to his son.
Ryder quickly approached Edward and hugged the middle-aged man tightly.
"I will kill him, I will kill the man who killed my son!"
