After their father died and the doctor said he died of natural causes, the shroud revealed the secret.


Why, Jaber? What did you see, brother? Tell me
!’ Jaber
didn’t know who he was. The infidel who did this to him! Imagine, the man wasn’t even properly shrouded, and his whole body was sewn up! Someone must have sewn it up with a needle and thread!
Saadia,
oh my God! How could this happen, Jaber? You have to go and report it, brother. You can’t stay silent. And then, if it becomes known that there’s a body buried without the authorities, it’ll be a disaster for you.
Jaber,
you’re right, Saadia. I’m going to the police station to report it, and may God help the government find a way to do something for this man.
And indeed, Jaber went to the station and told the officer, « 
I’ve come to report a murder, sir. »
The officer said
, « Who are you, man? What murder are you reporting? »
Jaber
replied, « My name is Jaber, sir, and I work, excuse me, in the cemeteries, burying the dead. I’ve come to report that a man whose family came to bury him today. This man was murdered, sir, he didn’t die a natural death. »
The officer asked
, « What do you mean he was murdered and didn’t die a natural death? Explain it to me calmly. And how was he even buried if he was murdered? »
Jaber
replied, « I’ll tell you, sir. This afternoon, some people came to bury their father, and I saw the burial permit before they buried the body. The permit said the man died of circulatory failure, but while I was lowering the body into the grave, I saw something strange, and that’s what made me suspicious. » The
officer
asked, « Something strange? How so? Tell me what you saw. »
Jaber
said, « I saw, while I was putting the shroud in, sir, that blood was coming out of the man. And someone who dies a natural death, sir, can’t bleed. That’s why I came to inform
the officer. »
Are you sure about what you’re saying, man? Because if what you’re saying turns out to be untrue, you’ll be questioned, and you might even be imprisoned.
Jaber
, sir, I know exactly what I’m telling you.
At home, Hassan, Fawzi, Walid, and Sahar were with them. Hassan told them,
« This house, as you know, has six apartments, and each of us has one. »
