Introduction

Guilty is a story about a husband who was seen as a dead beat, he murdered what seemed to be a perfect policewoman wife and surrendered himself to the authorities without giving a confession. The murderer had a chance to escape being caught by leaving the country but instead chooses to surrender himself at a police station in the middle of the night, two days after the murder. He agreed to investigations during the night declining the assistance of a lawyer, and also declined to speak further on the matter. Since the fact that the murder has been fully stated, the layout of the novel won't be piecing together the case but instead having the police “find the motive of the crime” within 24 hours. The motive behind homicides is usually found in real society and people, but we are in the habit of turning a blind eye to things that are worth thinking deeply for or to feel senseless about these issues. Not Guilty is a story about a young woman's spirit who does not understand that she has been stabbed to death. The start of the story presents the body of a young woman without a suspect, a confession nor a witness. Therefore, investigations are needed, such as forensic science and investigation procedures to solve the case. The story uses self-dialog to allow the confession of the spirit and the testimony of the person concerned to show the differences in memory and understanding. Using this method to highlight the interpersonal relationship and values of the deceased when she was alive allowing her to justify her actions about her own misunderstandings.
