Prologue
When the boy who worked at the rubber plantation woke up late from his sleep, he had not expected that the morning would end in such a shocking manner. What were the odds of finding a dead body in this peaceful islands village, let alone at thee rubber estate?
But that was what happened. He was whistling his favourite tuned as he headed towards tool shed to pick up his equipment. Before he could reach the place, however, he stumbled and fell over what he thought was an extremely large root.
He rubbed his bruised chin and pushed his torso up, kicking at the bothersome root at the same time. But it was no root. He stared at the body in horror and gave a scream. He scrambled to his feet, picked up his dropped cap and ran as fast as he could from the body.
