• Some villagers moved directly after dawn toward Karid’s house to find out the reason for that noise and sound they heard during the night. They gathered in front of the house, discussing who would enter and how to do it. One of them stepped forward and began knocking on the door strongly, hoping someone would respond, then looked through the windows as well, but he could not see anything. He returned to the group and said:

- What now? Should we break the door or wait a little until Karid comes out? It will soon be time for him to go to work.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZmWUbg9v9
Some suggested hastening to check the matter, but the majority chose the second option, not to act until they were sure, to avoid an embarrassing situation with Karid if their concern was wrong. But curiosity overwhelmed some of them, so two advanced along with the first man to break the door. They pushed strongly in one blow, and the door turned into scattered pieces. The three entered together, and the first thing they noticed was a faint smell, closer to the smell of blood. They split up in the house to speed things up. The first man entered the kitchen and searched it inch by inch, but found nothing strange, so he decided to search elsewhere. But before leaving the kitchen, he heard a loud scream from one of the other two men, precisely the one searching in the hall.

He rushed out to see him running quickly outside the house, his hands on his mouth as if he had seen something terrifying, and as he exited the house he began to vomit. The man was astonished by his behavior and went to the hall to see what he had seen, the other man behind him after hearing the scream as well. They entered to see a horrifying scene that made their bodies shiver: two corpses side by side in the middle of a pool of blood whose edges had dried, and a small child staring at them with cold eyes. They managed to recognize Karid’s body, but the other they did not know at first glance. Unable to do anything else, they went out and informed the rest of what they had seen. Some fled after hearing that, fearing the killer was still nearby, while the rest went to the village elder’s house to seek his counsel. He too was shocked by the news and said in astonishment:
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDhfIAj1Bg
- What are you saying? A crime? Are you joking with me? All the time I have spent as elder of this village, I have never heard of such a thing. Who did this? And did you manage to catch him?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJZDZifHFp
One of the three who entered replied:
- No sir, we found no trace of the criminal. We only found Karid’s body, and another woman I think is his wife Kanila, and also an infant who was in good condition unlike them. But perhaps there is something we did not see, since we could not stay there long.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4x8RiFY8
The elder seemed not to believe his words, but said to himself: “In any case, would all these people come at this time just to lie to me?”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt5jVIo3RZ
He summoned his guards, and they all headed toward the crime scene. The elder and his guards entered, and found that terrifying sight, freezing in their places for moments. Then the elder gathered courage and carried the infant out, ordering his guards to take out the two bodies and search the house thoroughly, perhaps they would find something leading them to the criminal.

By midday, the news had spread in the village like wildfire, and the funeral was scheduled. Many questions began to arise, the most prominent: where did that child come from? For Karid and Kanila had no children, and everyone knew of Kanila’s disappearance from her home months ago, so they were also surprised when they found her in the house, linking the crime to her return. Some even linked it to the otherworld, saying a curse had befallen them.

And after the funeral ceremonies were completed amid a gloomy atmosphere full of the tears of the dead’s relatives, and since this was the first crime of this kind witnessed by the village elder, he did not know how to deal with it, so he summoned his guards, advisors, and some important figures in the village to help him. They sat in one room, and the elder opened the discussion with a question directed to the team he had tasked with finding the killer:
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpwTvpu6cK
- So, did you discover anything? Did you know who the killer is, or at least find something that leads us to him?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uaw7iAQXj
The team leader replied:
- In fact, what surprised us most after that child was the way the victims were killed. Perhaps the killer was not an outsider at all. First, we found Kanila’s body with a smashed skull, and Karid’s hand covered in blood, though it was intact and free of wounds...
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm2KW8afl6
The elder interrupted him, saying:
- Do you mean by this that he is the one who killed her? But why would he kill his wife? And then he died too, did he kill himself?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLUeXnnUp1
An old man known among them for gathering news spoke:
- There are many reasons that could drive him to do that. I heard some rumors saying his wife was betraying him. It seems he found out and could not bear it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjdvnxm7Cl
The team leader, confirming the old man’s words:
- Exactly, that is what I also concluded. Months ago Kanila disappeared from her home, and now she returns and this tragedy happens. Of course the matter is connected to her.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZgpWuxFh
A villager spoke:
- Wait, wait, what you are saying is not logical. You said Kanila was betraying him, which means that infant is her child, and her belly’s shape suggested that. That part is understandable. But if that is so, why is the child still alive? Why didn’t Karid kill him too if he was the killer?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2BHpBi3hO
The team leader replied as if he had been waiting for this question:
- Precisely, that is what we stopped at without an answer. Perhaps there is a complicated side to the matter, or perhaps he could not bear the news and killed himself before the child.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIIXz6S7Xb
The elder spoke:
- "Speaking of the child, there is something strange about him—not only in his behavior, but even in his appearance. His features look foreign. What does this mean? Answer me, you nosy old man.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9ZmVaVLa
The old man replied:
- As I said earlier, I heard a rumor about Kanila’s betrayal, specifically with that foreign man living near the village. If he is his child, it is natural he would look like that.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYcsL1bPI7
Another man suggested:
- Aha, then this is what we should do. We must talk to that foreigner since he is involved in the crime, or perhaps he is the killer himself.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu16mfC8Xs
The team leader answered with disappointment:
- I thought of all this. I learned about the foreigner from the old man, so I went to his house to interrogate him with some of my men. But unfortunately, after much knocking and calling his name, he did not answer us. We thought he did not want to show himself, so we kept watching the house from afar for more than two hours, and we noticed no movement from him. Perhaps he fled. I left some men there to continue watching him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNGns8vNgK
Then the elder said:
- Well, well, let us leave all these unclear matters now. What happened has happened. What I am thinking of now is that child. What shall we do with him?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm964lMHGIE
Some suggested giving him to Kanila’s family after convincing them he was her son. Others suggested giving him to one of the wet nurses. And there were also those who said they should get rid of him, because he was a bad omen upon them and the one who caused the crime. All these were just empty suggestions, and no one would accept the child after his terrifying appearance.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqJ59WjJkK
