Pulchritude Case
Page 06's

Shitty days. Sleeping with criminals, scrambling over soft pillows and holding back the cold of the room. In the heart continues to curse to feel the problems that befall. What a crazy thing, can he be free today? Then beat up that fucking cop. When you think of Kevin's face, it feels like Val wants to punch something.

An accusation that was not classy at all, that was what he always said in his heart. However, what if Alex uncovers his cunning that night? Broke, Val's head feels like it wants to explode. He stared at the clouds from the sidelines of the air vent. Condemn yourself for your carelessness. Only this time a Val can be caught by the authorities. He also regretted why he could recruit a fool like Alex.

Two officers call Val because they're taking him to court. He resigned, but still hoped there would be a miracle. Want to ask for help from colleagues, but there is no access to convey it. Kevin stood by the door waiting for Val.

"Oh, come on, Attorney Val, show me your relaxed look like yesterday—why do you look tense? The show's about to start,"

"If my hands aren't handcuffed, I'll smash your face." whispered Val.

Kevin responded casually. "Come on, take him."

"Wait, Mr. Kevin." An old man with the rank of Adjunct Commissioner Two approached him.

"There's something that needs to be straightened out before you take it to court" he continued.

Val's arrest warrant was placed in front of Kevin. Like being struck by lightning during the day, he did not believe what they were offering. These two men showed evidence of a defense against the involvement of Prosecutor Val with a case filed in court. Hey, this feels weird.

"It's a misunderstanding between us and Prosecutor Val. He did not commit a crime for the charges that you are referring to, sir." said Anton (Ajun Commissioner Two).

"Me, I'm Floryn. Lawyer of the Sempiternal Law Office, and obviously my purpose here is to release Prosecutor Val on his case." Foryn shook Kevin's hand.

Kevin is quite confused by the defense that Val's supporters are doing. Didn't some of the parties know that Prosecutor Val was involved in a case of forgery of the identity of the corpse?

"But sir, what about Alex? You know for yourself that he was a witness to the actions of Prosecutor Val? He's been falsifying the identity of someone's body" Kevin complained.

Floryn put some pictures of Alex partying with drugs in an apartment. Kevin was surprised to see it. The lawyer also provided other evidence such as a suction device and several packs of marijuana.

"The person who witnessed Prosecutor Val was a drug addict. He was taking psychotropic drugs, everything he said was nothing but hallucinations."

"But-but,"

"Let the defense witness come in" Anton said. Following the entry of Val's colleagues who participated in the excavation of the tomb of Carrolyna.

"He's Hedy, one of the teams of Prosecutor Val who took part in the excavation of the tomb that night. Mr Hedy, would you tell me what you did that night?" floryn.

The man named Hedy slightly glanced at Val who had earlier glared at him. "Yes, I'm one of the teams from Prosecutor Val over the excavation of Carrolyna's tomb. However, I asked for permission to go home because my wife gave birth. And after that I don't know what happened,"

"Force Val was then in his secret duty to uncover the case of Carrolyna's death. It was the victim's family who asked him to conduct this investigation in secret. If you're not sure what I'm saying, I still have other evidence of defense." explains Floryn and ends with a smile.

His mouth was like in duct tape, Kevin did not know what to protest like anymore. All the evidence of the defense that Foryn showed made him freeze on the spot. To hell with all that, the public lies they speak have deceived many parties. The explanation given was contrary to Val's behavior. Either the connection or the backing of the prosecutor may be very strong, thus making Kevin lose his job.

His charges against Val are true, but the public is covering them up in the name of the secret work he's done. Kevin is not a blunt person, he knows better the movements of a person after committing a crime. Suspicious Val should be investigated further, he believes the prosecutor has committed an illegal act. However, how else does the person who became his ace card turn out to be a drug dealer. Could he have defended Alex in such a position? Huh, that's crazy. No one believes in hallucinogenic men.

Kevin understands something, there's probably a big conspiracy behind all this. Adjunct Commissioner and Lawyer Floren is not a clean man. He and Val are a group of con men, Kevin trusts Alex more as a criminal than he submits to these fake humans. It had been quite humiliated, now they must have doubted his credibility as an intelligence member. Intention wants to dismantle who is Prosecutor Val, it is he who is entangled. This time Kevin was unlucky.

Val's chaotic appearance can be diverted by taking advantage of muddy road conditions due to the rainy season. Because the burial conditions were located near the slopes of the hills, so the ground around the road fell onto the asphalt. So his alibi about the car breaking down, then getting down to fix it is able to fool someone. Splashing water pooled by the roadside becomes a smart alibi as a real diversion of facts.

"Who cares about me on this case?" Val thought hard, he was surprised when a lawyer defended him.

If the lawyer was his parents' man, Val doesn't think so. They have been separated for a long time and have their own lives. It doesn't even matter where and what he's doing now. All this time Val reckon never had a colleague a lawyer. Could it be someone else who sent the woman to defend her? I don't know, the most important thing is that he's free now.

Val was very satisfied to see Kevin's wry face when he was declared free. A lowly person like Kevin won't be able to take him down so easily, you forget who Prosecutor Val is? One more thing that made him surprised, reportedly Carrolyna's body was in his burrow. It sounded mysterious, while the corpse he bought disappeared. That's what he heard from his partner. And that information he got from the Carrolyna family who checked the contents of the burrow of the child. Since hearing the case of theft of bodies and the case of Prosecutor Val, they want to ensure and straighten the problem so as not to go anywhere. For the common good.

"The body came back by itself—though it sounded scary, but the body saved me from the fact that fucking Kevin knew."

Jasmine jumps in joy when Deline surprises her with a life-size Teddy doll. Today's first lesson with a new teacher. A lively and enthusiastic look emanated from her cute face. All school supplies have been prepared Jasmine long before the learning schedule begins. The boy was always excited waiting for the arrival of the teacher's sister (hehe was the name for Deline).

"No problem, Mr. Kim. And sorry," Deline replied with a chuckle.

The door of Yardan's apartment was knocked violently by a man dressed in casual clothing. He shouted to call his name. The homeowner came out to see who the non-attitude person was up ahead.

"Oh, so this is your drama? Is your hand really broken?" Darwin is the owner of the company he works for. The man hit Yardan's arm.

Yardan whimpered in pain. "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm totally unwarranted."

"Do as you please! And here's your paycheck for a week, don't go back to my company."

Yardan's eyes were perfectly rounded when the boss fired him. He pleaded with Darwin's sleeve. However, the man got harsh treatment from her. It's finished Yardan's history, after this where else he had to find a job. He didn't even know until when his hand would heal. How to pay Deline? And his daily needs? Medication for Jasmine every week? Oh, Yardan's chest feels tight, she walks weakly towards the chair.

Yardan rubbed her face roughly. Why are people today so cruel, they do not even want to listen to the honesty of others. Does Darwin not believe in the condition of his cracked hands, is not it plastered clearly in front of his eyes? Yardan let out a heavy sigh, she was now confused thinking about the days ahead of her.

"Yes right. The volume of a cube 1 minus the volume of a cube 2, and the answer is 1,016 cubic centimeters. Jasmine's smart, you're quick to respond."

"Thank you Big sister is a pretty teacher," Jasmine was timid.

"Let's move on to the next one,"

The fragrance pierced Deline's sense of smell, her eyeballs spinning in search of the source of the scent. He was silent because this fragrance was not foreign to him, but somewhere. From the hair or body Jasmine did not smell this fragrance, she was getting curious because it was quite disturbing.

"Sir Kim, are you wearing perfumes or room fragrances? I smell the flower" asked Deline as Yardan passed by her side.

Yardan frowned. He also smelled the aroma felt by Deline, no doubt this fragrance came from people dressed all in black who always watched him. He locked the door and closed all the windows. Deline did not understand what was happening, she was confused to see Yardan's behavior.

Yardan again caught up with them by hinting to be quiet. "No one's making a sound, they're here."

What does 'they're here' mean, is there anything to do with the outside world? If what Yardan meant was a refined being, it was certain that Deline could sense his presence. However, it doesn't seem to be. The girl followed what Yardan told her to do because she didn't understand. Amidst the fear of Jasmine being hugged by the father, suddenly the front door knob was moved by someone from the outside. The move felt strong and rough, those outside trying to open the door.

This kind of terror has been going on for about 2 months. The longer they had the courage to get closer to the Yardan family. Either what kind of human being or even what kind of creature is lurking, but honestly they are scary. Carrying a white flower arrangement clad in their necks and hands respectively. A group of people dressed in all black with purple lines on the arms.

Once upon a time, Yardan who was curious about the group of people tried to reprimand him, but they acted recklessly by strangling him in droves. With full struggle Yardan can escape and run as far as possible from the mysterious people. I don't know what I want from this father. However, what came to Yardan's mind was that they were eyeing Jasmine. The riddle was answered when he heard them pronounce his son's name.

"They're gone" said Yardan.

"Sir Kim, who are they?" Deline.

"Jasmine, you went to the room for a second huh? I want to talk to Mrs Deline about something important" the boy said.

"I don't know where they are and who the messenger is, but obviously never go out to meet those mysterious people. More or less during these two months they continued to terrorize me and Jasmine." Yardan explained.

"Miss, if I'm not home and you smell that fragrance like that, please don't go out and lock all the doors and windows."

Deline nodded, she was quite surprised to hear Yardan's explanation. "But Mr Kim, why don't you report it to the police? It's a crime that needs to be reported to keep you safe,"

"They're not human" he said.

"W-what?"

"Either right or wrong, but I'm opinionated they wanted Jasmine because my daughter was born on a white night. According to the myth, the child born that night becomes a dream for astral beings as the victim of someone when making a pact with the devil."

"White night? What'sthat?"

"Miss doesn't need to know any further. I can only tell you a little about this, sorry."

All right, this is privacy. Deline understood, but now her mind was everywhere digesting all the explanations from the Yardan. If they weren't human, but why didn't he feel any signs of his presence? I don't know, Deline doesn't know. Most importantly from now on, he had to be careful of them.
