The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Lie

“What's up? Want to know about Kira?” Choi Hana asked on target even though Radit or Xennora had not expressed their intentions.

Xennora parsed her shoulder brunette's hair. Wear a white span skirt and suit with a sparkling dark blue shirt and heels. Similarly to Radit, the man also wears a white suit but a black pantofel shirt and septu. Too bored to use a black suit because it is too gloomy.

“Ekhm, yes. Did you buy a syrup fever reliever?” Ask Radit.

“Iya.”

“Isn't it for adults given it a tablet medicine?”

“I asked her pharmacist to give her syrup medicine. Kira can not eat tablet medicine..” Hana said. He seems to have missed his best friend.

“Ohh... Alright then.. We just can't find her medicine bottle in the victim's apartment..”.

“Oh yes? How can..” Hana looks surprised. “What is this really a robbery case?” Hana asked with a surprised look mixed in worry.

Xennora nodded slowly. “No items lost. It is very unlikely that robbers come just to find a cure for fever.”

“Then how is the chronology when you hear the sound of crying?” Ask Radit.

“What crying sounds?” Hana chuckled softly. “My apartment is coated with silencers. I can't even hear the sound of the adzan if the window is completely closed. Though the mosque is right next to the apartment.”

“Then, what do you do in front of the door while others sleep?” Radit was beginning to confuse.

“In front of door? I don't know..What is clear when I wake up, I immediately see Emily who looks to be coming out of the apartment..” Hana also now looks confused.

“Before... Try reading this. Are all of his chronologies correct?” Xennora confronts Hana with her laptop. The girl read quickly for foreigner size.

“Ah... This is true. Except for the chronology where there was a cry and Emily saw me standing at the door to check the sound of crying, it was also Emily who proposed because she heard the sound of crying. I hesitated, where did he hear the sound of crying? How can? But yeah, Emily told us to check, and she herself checked the whole room in my apartment. I had thought she was indigo, Angelyna or Jina also looked frightened at that time. Emily looks like an evil person.” Hana gives a look of laughter as if her mind is twisting events in the past.

“True too.. He will suffer from hallucinations.” Raditya murmured after remembering something.

Xennora was worried, she could not trust someone just like that at this moment. He doesn't know who is honest and who is lying. Even so, Hana clearly looks more convincing than Emily who looks nervous yesterday. Moreover, the fact that Emily indeed suffered from hallucinations, made Xennora a little sure if the girl was just making up stories. Or perhaps... It turns out that he was the one who had given the poison to Kirania?

...***...

“This is the place?” Radit asked as he watched the boarding room-shaped building in front of them.

“Iya.. Come.” Xennora kept the address paper in her pocket and knocked on the pastel boarding door in front of her. Before long, a woman of her Mother Bhiyan's age came out with her surprised face to see two well-dressed people at the door.

“Morning, mom... We want to ask, is there such a thing as Anggralia Anugralia here?” Ask Xennora kindly.

“Iya, no... Who are you?”

“Include mom, I'm Xennora and this is Raditya. We had a duty to investigate a suicide case last week, and we needed statements and testimony from sister Anegralia? I promise this doesn't take long..”.

“Bby kok, can.. Let's go in. Jina Room whose number is 14 yes, I want to go first.”

“Iya ma'am, be careful on the road..” Reply Raditya when the mother of the boarding owner went past them.

Once again, Xennora knocked on the door of Angelyna's room which did not take long, a girl with long, straight hair opened the door.

Now, Xennora and Radit are sitting in the middle of the house. Every room is in a big house like a big family home in India. This makes the atmosphere more warm and family. Angelina was preparing a drink for them.

“If his testimony makes him dizzy, I want to give it up..” Celtap Radit limp.

“Yep, by the way.. When do you want to work again? Your fans are waiting for you at the cafe.”

“A Bhiyan forbid I work first.. Make the same focus this project.”.

Before long, Jina came to bring three glasses of tea for them. “You guys... Want to ask about the Kira case?” Angelyna asked as she sat before Radit and Xennora.

Xennora who was still dizzy just nodded. “Can I believe your story?”

“Umm... A-I can't lie.. If I lie, there will be bad things happening to me. And it was always different.” Said Angelyna who slightly lowered his voice making Xennora and Radit look at him in disbelief. Such people are what the whole world needs.

“Serious?” Xennora asked in disbelief.

“Keren..” Gumam Raditya.

“Psemaphobia?”

“What's tuh?”

“Fobia lying.”

“Pinocchio no the hell?”

“Yes, the difference is he does not hiccup, but it seems this can be more fatal..”.

Angelyna looked at the two people in front of her worriedly. Before, he had never told this to anyone else. But he really wanted the real culprit to get caught. By convincing the prosecutors like this, he will gain the trust of them.

“Ah... Okay-okay.. If so we start, we just need the most honest answer to some of these things. I ask you to answer it spontaneously.” Said Radit who was immediately replied to a nod from Angelyna, who,

“When you just woke up in Choi Hana's apartment, who was at the door? Hana or Emily?”

“Emily.” Reply spontaneously. Before long, his head felt dizzy, his ears buzzing. It was a little painful, Angelyna covered her ears in fear, making Xennora and Radit approach her worriedly. But after realizing something, Xennora looked at Angelyna flat. He sat back in his place earlier making Radit look at him strangely.

“That's it, there's no need to lie like that. I'm sure God gave you this syndrome to help us.” Xennora said then drank her tea casually, making Angelyna look at him in wonder after the dizziness subsided.

“What is your attitude like?”

“This how?” Xennora asked without looking at Angelyna and instead was busy admiring the taste of the tea that Angelyna made.

“Not knowing yourself?” Angelyna's chirps made Radit who was still beside her almost laugh freely. Spontaneously, Xennora kept her tea glasses and improved her way of sitting and also tidying up her clothes.

“Do not feel guilty. He doesn't know himself.” Reply Radit then moved back to his place.

“In that case.. Can you answer that question? Honestly.” Xennora.

“Ekhm.. Actually I just woke up when Hana and Emily have opened the front door. I went straight to them when Hana said she heard the sound of crying.”

“Oh. About the drugs Hana bought. I worked for three years as a pharmacist, and was occasionally appointed to watch for toxins in the central lab, including samples of the anthrovitoxin that were discovered a few years ago. When I cooked the porridge for Kira, I had a chance to see the liquid clearly even though the bottle was dark in color. I know the viscosity, the liquid also looks colorless. I can still clearly see the spoon behind the bottle. In one look I already knew what the real contents of the bottle were. Antrovitoxin, it was the liquid that made both my parents die. I ignored the bottle for a moment to serve my congee earlier. When I passed the dinner table, I immediately took the bottle for me to smash in the back of the building, I also burned it until it seemed to have left nothing else.”

“But Kira committed suicide the other night.Make me realize that my guess about the poison will be given to Kira is wrong. But I still feel relieved. The owner of the bottle didn't kill me or my friend that night. So there is only one person who lost his life.” Seen sadness in the eyes of Angelyna when discussing her dead friend.

“But you know? Kirania did not die by suicide, but she died from taking an anthrovitoxin.”.
