Chapter I The Of Detective Story In The Cuckoo’s Calling By Robert Galbraith
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Literature according to Edgar V. Roberts and Henry E. Jacobs in book
Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing (1995:2) refers to
compositions that tell stories, dramatize situations, express emotions, and analyze
and advocate ideas. Literature may be classified into four categories or genres: (1)
prose fiction, (2) poetry, (3) drama, and (4) nonfiction prose. From the various
types of imaginative literature, my choise falls on prose fiction or knowledge of
novel which is a fictitious prose narrative of considerable length and complexity,
portraying characters and presenting an organized sequence of events and scenes.
Novel is human literature creations. Novel do not, however, present a
documentary picture of life. Kennedy ( 1991:203 ) says that novel is a book length
story in prose, whose author try to create senses while we read, we experience
actual life and manner time when it was written. Novel have contenst such as plot,
character, setting, theme, and point of view.
The novel is broadest sense, a novel is any extended fictional prose narrative
focusing on a few primary characters but often involving scores of secondary
characters. The fact that it is in prose helps distinguish it from other lengthy works
like epics. We might arbitrarily set the length at 50,000 words or more as a
dividing point with the novella and the short story. According to Edgar V.Roberts
and Henry E.Jacobs (1987:49) novel was borrowed from French and Italian to
1

describe these works and to distinguish them from medieval and classical
romances as something that was new. In their books, they also said that there are
four fiction aspects, they are character, plot, structure, and theme. The Cuckoo’s
Calling by Robert Galbraith is a detective novel.
According to Shaw Henry (1976:78) detective story is a narrative (short story
or novel) in which a mystery is unraveled by a detective through the assembly and
interpretation of clues. The tragic murder often occurred but not all is revealed,
because there is no detective who investigate that murder cases. There are six
elements of detective novel, such as solution of mystery, solving mystery,
incompetent or ineffectual police, a susfect whoappears guity at first but is later
proved innocent, detective’s friend, and often the narrator whose slowness in
enterpreting clues emphasize by contrast the detective’s brilliance. For the
example, the tragic murder that occurred on Ade Sara, a student at one of school
in Jakarta. The murder occurred on the basis of love quadrangle. Ade Sara was
killed by ex-boyfriend feel jealous and do not accept if Ade Sara have got a new
beloved. However her ex-boyfriend not do that murder alone. He’s helped by him
girlfriend. The murder which related background story of love often occurs in
Indonesia. However in Jakarta, the types of killings are rarely expressed at length
in the absence of detective. While murder cases which consist to supermodel, Lula
Landry in the novel The Cuckoo’s Calling by Roberth Galbraith can be
investigated because there is a detective who uncover as detail as detail the result
of finding to details of the murder homicide figures in detail. Therefore this novel
successfully expressed as a detective novel.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1
Detective Novel
Bonn, Julien D. (2010:42) detective story have six elements, such as
solution of mystery, solving mystery, incompetent or ineffectual police, a susfect
who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent, detective’s friend or
confidant, and often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes
by contrast the detective’s brilliance.
2.2
Intrinsic Approach
The intrinsic approach was originally written by Rene Wellek and Austin
Warren in their book “Theory of Literature”. Rene Wellek introduced his intrinsic
approach, which essentially is a study of literary work based on analyzing the
internal elements that build that work. According to Wellek (1962:332) The
natural of sensible starting point for work in literary scholarsip is the
interpretation and analysis of the works of literary themselves. After all, only the
works themselves justify all our interest in the life of an author, in his social
environment, and the whole process of literature. Wellek’s opinion is that the
study of literature naturally needs to be started from the analysis of the literary
work itself because then it would enable us to identify he many aspects that built
that work. Wellek further explained by introducing elements that from the
foundation of aliterary work, plot, setting, theme, character, point of view, and
style. By analyzing these elements, a student could comprehend the work by
figuring out how the story flows, where the story is set, how the characters act and
5
Universitas Sumatera Utara
think. Interinsic approach applied by the writer in order to show the elements of
the novel. Part of elements of the prose are characters, plot, setting, theme, and
point of view. This research uses those elements of prese because those elements
are related. Wellek and Warren (1997:139) in their book “Theory of Literature”
said that intrinsic approach are being introduced based on a survey of the wider
range of forms in modern literature. They also stated that the main part of intrinsic
approach is based on the text of literary works itself by doing an interpretation and
analysis of it (1997:139). Wellek and Warren describe three views of biographical
approach, of which only one the biographical aspects relating to the production of
a work. According to Wallek and Warren, works may indeed reflect the authors
experiences, but they must also reflect an author’s hopes and dreams, or literary
tradition and convention and not a document for biography.
Romantic flow is the flow that can only change the system of NeoClassical critical with pressing arguments relativism. Other times require other
standards as well. Old methods such as classical rhetoric, poetika, and the
dimensions must be learned again and again translated in modern terms.
In the 19th century, explanations to literature by examining its origins,
very popular. This tendency is actually also an attempt to imitate the methods of
the natural sciences. Lee concluded Sir.Sidney academic literary theory approach
that era so. Literary history search for external background, political background,
social, economic, and literary places were made. New methods based on a survey
of modern literary forms have been widely introduced. In France there is a method
explacation de textes. In Germany developed the study of literature. In England
6
Universitas Sumatera Utara
followers I.A. Richard began deciding attention to the text and the poetry critic in
America group began trying to restore a major concern in the study of literature.
Numerous studies drama drama suppress differences and life. Many novel studies
not only see the connection works with the social structure, but studying the
artistic method. For example, the events in the novel is a part of the content. But
the way; events are structured plot that is part of the form. The German
researchers trying to find a way out. Actually we only need menagakui, that
means the preparation of the events in the novel are part of the grooves form.
Traditional concept of distinguishing form and content are increasingly visible
weakness when we realize that language is part of the form consists of two terms.
The conclusion of the intrinsic approach by Wallek and Warren is the approach
the data from the text itself. This study used in France.
2.3 Descriptive Research
According to John W. Best (1982:42) in his books “Methodology of
Educational Research” said that there are three types of analysis that can be used
to classify educational research is historical research, description research, and
experimental research.
The first is historical research. Historical research is research that applies the
scientific method of solving a problem from a historical perspective. Collection
and interpretation process that occurred in the past, the present, the future also.
The second is a descriptive research. Descriptive research is to describe
the research indicated that there are phenomena, which take place on the current
7
Universitas Sumatera Utara
or past. This study was able to describe a situation alone, but can also describe a
state in its development stages.
The third is experimental research. Experimental research is the only
research that can test hypotheses to establish causal relationships. This is the
strongest chain of reasoning about relationships between variables.
Based on the above conclusions, the authors choose a descriptive study
because the author describes in detail the six elements of detective novels.

3. THE ANALYSIS OF ELEMENTS OF DETECTIVE STORY
IN THE CUCKOO’S CALLING BY ROBERT GALBRAITH
3.1
Solution of mystery
Solution of mystery is the first type of the six elements of detective novel.
Lula Landry allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of her flat
before the dawn. However, his brother John Bristrow, who doubted the decision to
decide to collect evidence, including CCTV footage of two strangers who wander
around the crime scene, as well as recognition in Lula's neighbors in the flat of the
supermodel altercation moments before the incident. From his penthouse
apartment at about two o'clock this morning, police received a report of a building
security officer. There has been no sign of the police will move the bodies, which
led to speculation. There is no information whether he was alone when he fell. It
can be seen from the following quote:
“The photographer stood huddled behind police guarded the boundary
line, long-lens cameras they were prepared. The entrance of the
apartment building behind the red brick, as well as a balcony on the top
floor where the body was dropped. The entrance is lined eighteen
numbers of police tape”. (Galbraith: 2013; 29)
With a little discouraged, John Bristrow meet an old acquaintance, a
former military police special investigation branch who had received awards and
current career as a private investigator, Cormoran Strike. Strike is a middle age
man thirties who failed in love, in debt up to near poor, and almost did not have a
potential client that can be a source of income for the sustainability office
detectives, even to support the day-to-day life. Jhon ignore Strike appearance no
9
Universitas Sumatera Utara
less rotten than the rundown office. He just hoped Strike becomes the only person
in this earth (other than himself) who believed that his brother had been killed
deliberately, and willing to do anything to uncover the truth. Jhon lucky Strike
interested to try it. With mature experience in the Army, thoroughness, and that
the truth will gradually emerge from the many details that seem unrelated. That he
does not have is evidence. It can be seen from the following quote:
“Five minutes later there was a knock at the door, and the Strike that is
already on the verge of natural sleep, and immediately jumped out of
his chair. "Sorry?" Natural subconscious already interwoven with
Charolotte again, it was surprising to see a foreign girl walked into the
room. The girl had taken off her coat, revealing sweeter beige colored
body-fitting cut, even a little tease. Strike directing his gaze to her
hairline. "Yes?" "There are clients come to see you. May be asked to
enter? "Who?" "The client, Mr. Strike.”(Galbraith: 2013; 29)
Strike looked at her for a moment, trying to digest the information. Robin
was waiting outside for two minutes after the doors open again. Strike
immediately lift his finger from his nose and sat up straight, trying to show bright
and alert expression on his chair. It turns out that the client is already waiting in
front of Mr. Bristrow.
The conclusion of the above statement is John Bristow meet with Strike
who detective to investigate the murder of her sister Lula Landry. However,
Strike not investigate alone, he was assisted by his friend, Robbin.
3.2
Solving mystery
Solving mystery is the second type of the six elements of detective novel.
The first solving mystery is Strike seek evidence Lula death by searching in the
virtual space such as Facebook and Twitter Lula Landry. He could not find a
10
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Facebook account Landry, and it also looks like she never joined Twitter. he does
not want to feed the greed of the things fans seem to actually members personal
inspiration to others to fill the void. There are many sites that are made for the
sake of showing off pictures of her as well as a variety of comments regarding his
obsessively. If the information contained therein yangt only half true, means the
member Strike Bristrow only a small part of the story that has been censored
younger self destructive tendencies. It can be seen from the following quote:
"Strike chasing shadows Lula Landry in cyberspace, occasionally
adding something on the record interview with Bristrow, Wilson, and
Kolovas-Jones”.(Galbraith:2013;133)
The second solving mystery is Completion of the second mystery is the
Strike came to the scene where the corpse was found that the supermodel. Strike
continues journey to find the evidence that may be found to search for the truth he
Lula case supermodel. Strike also went to various places that he thought there
would be evidence that revealed. It can be seen from the following quote:
“Having satisfied dig information from the streets around Barack, Strike
continued walking, making notes on a yellow trunk lines around the
area, Friday night parking ban, as well as other places that have their
own security cameras". (Galbraith: 2013; 149)
The third solving mystery is Strike seek information through a friend Lula
who at that time was with Lula, which Tansy. After listening to the tape and speed
up, he managed to find a part Tansy testimony depicting the moments just before
Lula Landry falling past the window. It can be seen from the following quote:
“to the bathroom, I heard shouts. Lula said, "it's too late, I already did,"
then a man say, bitch fucking liar, "and then the man pushed past the
railing. I actually saw it fall”. (Galbraith: 2013; 185)
The fourth solving mystery is Strike seek evidence of laptops Lula Landry.
11
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Towards the middle of the night, then turned his attention to Strike a
police report regarding the contents Laptop Landry, looks, police search for
emails that basically indicates somber mood or suicidal ideation, and in this case
they failed miserably. Strike read the emails sent and received Landry during the
last two weeks of his life. It's strange, but nonetheless real. Many photos that
show exceptional beauty Landry makes it difficult to believe the girl's Strike
actually never existed. The characteristics of himself on display everywhere have
made abstract, generic, although the face itself has a unique beauty. Various email
her at Strike reveals a lot of things that are not capable of submitted photographs.
It can be seen from the following quote:
“An awareness in the gut, rather than in the brain, that man is alive,
real, laughing, crying, dead has slammed the snowy London streets.
Strike hope to see the shadows of the killer Lula raised”. (Galbraith:
2013; 200)
The conclusion of the above statement is Strike the detective solves the
problem by looking for evidence of Lula's death through Facebook account, went
to the scene, seeking information through Lula's apartment, and the search for
evidence of a laptop Lula.
3.3
Incompetent or ineffectual police
Incompetent or ineffectual police is the third type of the six elements of
detective novel. The first incompetent or ineffectual police in the case of the
murder of Lula Landry is Police Sergeant Eric Wardle. This handsome guy has a
face like a teenager. His hair was thick and wavy. Police Sergeant Eric Wardle
just want to be famous because of fotograper and journalists who covered the
12
Universitas Sumatera Utara
murder of Landry. Police Sergeant Eric came to the place where the incident
found the body right at two o'clock in the morning. Actually he did not come to
investigate the murder case, but he wanted to get on television and is famous for
the corpse in front of him now is the corpse of the model. It can be seen from the
following quote:
“he ambulance will arrive in two minutes, "said Police Sergeant Eric
Wardle, who accidentally answer the question his superiors when he
entered the tent with a cell phone glued to his ear. "Now look for a place"
Carver muttered with a short body getting worse because she believes
Wardle actually pleased with the presence of fotograper”. (Galbraith:
2013;13)
The second incompetent or ineffectual police in the investigation of the
murder case of Lula Landry is Inspektur Roy Carver. Chubby man with a face as
red as the color of corned beef. Section underarm sweat shirt is usually a circle.
Supply thin patience has run out hours ago. He was at the scene where the bodies
of the supermodel's fall nearly as long with the corpse. Her feet are so cold as to
no longer feel, and because he is starving his head reel. It can be seen from the
following quote:
"Where's that damn ambulance?" Inspektur Roy Carver already
mounting. He was at the scene where the discovery of the bodies of
Lula Landry had been long, almost the length of the body. Her feet are
so cold until no longer felt, and because he is starving his head reel.
"They will not get lost as long as we still treat this place like a crime
scene," said Carver. (Galbraith: 2013; 13)
The third incompetent or ineffectual police n the case of Lula Landry is
Tom Waits. Men who have a small body size, dark-skinned, and had a great
jealousy against Strike Strike is more famous because of it. That evening vanishes
into the night behind a window. While Tom Waits growling and moaning from
13
Universitas Sumatera Utara
the CD player in the corner, Strike chasing shadows Lula Landry in cyberspace,
occasionally adding something on the record interview with Bristrow. Wilson, and
Kolovas-Jones. Tom Waits never scratching his own wrist and was found in a
pool of blood by a sorority sister, also lived in homeless and police found illegal
occupancy. It can be seen from the following quote:
“At nine o'clock, Strike goes to Chinatown to buy food, then back to the
office, replacing Tom Waits with Elbow, and dig up information on the
internet about Evan Duffield, men in general, even by Bristrow
considered not kill his girlfriend”. (Galbraith: 2013 ; 134)
The conclusion from the above is that incompetent or ineffectual police is
Sersan Police Eric Wardle, Inspektur Roy Carver, and Tom Waits.
3.4
A susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
A susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent is the
fourth of the six elements of detective novel. The first a susfect who appears
guilty at first but is later proved innocent is Shona Holland. He worked in
Betbusters in Hackney Road. He lived in a rented flat not far from the city. He
was the arrival of an uninvited guest named Brett Fearney, who used to beat his
sister. Apparently this is not the usual kind of denied his request. Shona Holland is
a person who is touted to be in the CCTV footage at the time of the incident the
discovery of the bodies of Lula. Jhon Bristrow still adamant about the CCTV
footage. He said something about it, Strike admit it. We tried to track them,
Wardle said, the two black men. We put out an announcement. Nothing appears
declare themselves. No wonder really, no car alarms sounded around the time they
pass through or trying to break in. Early pictures Lula showed a girl of sixteen
14
Universitas Sumatera Utara
with tub face of Nefertiti, which is also managed through the lens featuring a
stunning combination between worldliness and fragility, with legs like a giraffe
levels and rough scars on the inside of her left wrist. The fashion editors seem to
assume that scarred face additional impressive for Lula, because often times just
enjoy the pictures. It can be seen from the following quote:
“We believe that people who make Bristrow obsessed, which goes in
the direction of the flat Landry before he fell, got off the bus number
thirty-eight in Wilton Street at eleven-fifteen. Do not know what she did
before passing the camera again towards the opposite about ten minutes
after Landry falling, run fast in Bellamy Road, and most likely turn
right on Weldon Street. There are records of a person who is less lebioh
similar to his description, black, tall, wearing a face-covering veil and
skraf were caught on camera in Theobalds Road about twenty minutes
later. "(Galbraith: 2013; 134)
The second a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved
innocent is Freddie Bestigui. He was one person who was with Lula Landry in the
flat. He went into the flat and said something to the Lula Lula, but Lula is not
happy with his statement that. Lula's face was immediately apparent after talking
to her offense. Mr. Bestigui not like CCTV tool in the door of his flat. There
should be no recording devices. He was the first to buy a flat, entirely completed
before, so had no right to speak. Strike eager to assume Freddie Bestigui as the
culprit. He was there at the scene and had a reputation as a person who likes to do
violence. But probability be small. If she knew he did it, or he's out of the flat at
the time Landry fall, I'm sure she has told us. He was so out of control when we
get there. However, she said her husband was in bed at the time, and the sheets
and blankets had been slept mess. Plus, if he managed to slip out of her flat
without being seen and climbed to the flat Landry, there is still the problem of
15
Universitas Sumatera Utara
how he could get away from Wilson. No way he's down in the elevator, so he
would have passed Wilson on the stairs. It can be seen from the following quote:
“You do not think Freddie Bestigui culprit?" We do not think so.
"So he was eliminated as suspects because the calculation time?" Said
Strike. Wardle hesitated”. (Galbraith: 2013; 161)
The third a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
is Wilson. He had many years of working in the world of security. He claims to
have lied to get his first job, about ten years ago, and he maintained his resume
like that. Lula Wilson've liked for a long time. He is older than it looks. He had
grandfathers. Therefore, Lula never love her back. It is possible. Small possibility,
assuming Bestigui can move faster than most men with equal weight and age with
him, and if he ran after pushing Lula, but still there are the facts that we did not
find his DNA anywhere in the flat, how he could get out of her flat without getting
caught, and the small matter of why Landry allow him to enter. It can be seen
from the following quote:
“What do you think, if Wilson is suitable as a suspect the culprit?" Ask
Strike on the investigator. "No match, said Wardle. "It is impossible he
can go up, then down fast enough to meet Tansy Bestigui on the ground
floor. Just so you know, his resume nonsense. He was hired on the basis
of ever being a cop, but he was never in the police”. (Galbraith: 2013;
161)
The fourth a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
is Evan Duffield. She is very glamorous friend Lula. He looks on the screen
utilizing Lula fame as a supermodel. But now that he is gone now Lula died
instantly. He makes everyone annoyed. Now he go straight into rehabilitation after
Lula died. Man wearing a black T-shirt, black jeans, and black military-style coat.
His hair was black. Her face was sharp and thin stripes, cold blue eyes and looked
16
Universitas Sumatera Utara
straight into the camera. Although higher than the two flanking it, she looks very
fragile compared to other two. A big man in a suit is very restless, his mouth open
and his movement is being pushed as the crowd in front of him. It can be seen
from the following quote:
“What about Evan Duffield?" "He is," said Wardle. Twinkle visible
during darkness he talked Deeby Macc now vanished. "Bastard
compactor. "So when did you interview him?" Said Wardle to Strike.
"The next day, but we have to find him first. Just like Bestigui, they do
not want us to know what he actually did. (Galbraith: 2013; 163)
The fifth a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent is
Deeby Macc. He is a rapper. He has feelings of love for Lula Landry and in all his
songs he always mention the name Lula Landry. But, Lula Landry did not know
Deeby Macc. Macc Deeby just a Lula Landry fanatic fans are crazy about him.
Because crazy about crazy at Lula, to rent a flat in her apartment building Lula.
An American rapper should come to the same building. Record company rent
apartment flat under Lula. In the end he does not spend the night there. With the
police who controlled the building, it is easier if he was taken to the hotel. But the
fotograper, the car chase Lula when he left the Uzi, joined Macc were already
waiting outside the apartment building. It can be seen from the following quote:
“So there is quite a large crowd outside the entrance, although they are
all gone shortly after Lula entered. Somehow, they got a whisper that
Macc will not come there for hours to come”. (Galbraith: 2013; 49)
The sixth a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
is Bryony Radford. She is a makeup artist Lula Landry. The cost is expensive and
heavyweight whore she is. This woman is black. Lula often invites Bryonny to his
flat. This woman really stinks. He's not a real friend, but she will not easily
17
Universitas Sumatera Utara
believe him. Strike actually want to know what has been said Bryony to everyone
although not relevant to the issue at hand. He was about to raise my voice, but
Tansy hit him with a loud voice. I'm sorry, John, but Lula is not smart to choose a
friend, Tansy said, then absorb his coffee. Yes Ciara's example. Then there is
Bryony Readford. Not that he was a real friend, but I would not trust him easy. It
can be seen from the following quote:
“Who is that Bryony?" Ask Strike pretending, because he remembered
exactly who she was”. (Galbraith: 2013; 183)
The seventh a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved
innocent is Some Guy. She is a designer. He is a black man and skinny wearing a
dark blue colored coat with unusual pieces. His head bowed and his expression
unreadable because his face was covered shadows of light falling on a dark head.
Some guy immediately inform mass media that Lula plunge by using one of his
dress, which sold out within a period of twenty-four hours of the account after the
death of Lula Landry. There is no better advertising besides Lula Landry decided
to meet its creator by wearing Guy Some designs. It can be seen from the
following quote:
“In the bottom row of photos of the main photographs, there are photos
Some Guy”. (Galbraith: 2103; 78)
The conclusion from the above is that the suspects who allegedly killed
Lula Landry was Shona Holland, Freddie Bestigui, Wilson, Evan Duffield, Debby
Macc, Bryony Radford, and Some Guy.

3.5
Detective’s friend or confidant
Detective’s friend or confidant is the fifth type of six elements of detective
novel. Friends of the Strike, the detective who solves murder cases Lula Landry is
Robin Ellacott. Robin Ellacott is a beautiful girl, tall, and blonde hair reddish. He
was an employee of the Temporary Solution, a company that provides temporary
employees to fill a position vacancy. He worked as a temporary employee since
moving to London with Mattfew, but it did not last much longer, because he's
already got a few more job interview calls. For twenty-five years of his life, he
experienced a variety of plays and events, but he never woke up morning with the
certainty that he will remember the day that will last throughout their lives.
Matthew, fiance proposed to her at the Thai restaurant by way of foot kneeling in
front of three bums who crowded. And this time, Robin had to work for Cormoran
Strike. She was bent over and moaning in pain as she leaned against the office
door. Seeing how she curled her side with one hand under his coat, Strike suspect
he had saved the girl with the grip hard. Srtike not see Robin being in front of the
stairs. Strike pushed the door with his fingertips so that no further physical contact
with the girl who was still curled up there, and then led him into the office.
Unintentional attack is like a giant. One eye was puffy and bruised man, with a
scar just below his eyebrows. There is a speck of dried blood on the white striped
scratches on his left cheek, also on the right side of his neck thick, which looks
behind the open collar shirt tangles. It can be seen from the following quote:
"You Mr. Strike? "Said Robin. "Yes." Said Strike. "I was a temporary
employee.""What?" "Temporary employee, from Temporary Solution.
I'm Robin "(Galbraith: 2013; 25)
19

The conclusion from the above is that the friend who helps in the
investigation is Robbin Strike Ellacoott. Robbin was very instrumental in helping
the investigation.
3.6
Often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes by
contrast the detective’s brilliance
Often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes by
contrast the detective’s brilliance is the sixth of the six elements of detective
novel. The pressures experienced by Strike behind brilliant ideas in solving the
murder case of Lula Landry is that he has only one leg only, almost bankrupt due
to heavily indebted, especially as he had to pay the salaries of temporary
secretary, and he was the stress from the divorce case with his wife. the farther he
goes down in this case, the dark reality also met, the greater the danger that
threatens her life. Strike pushed the door with his fingertips so that no further
physical contact with the girl who was still curled up there, and then led him into
the office. Unintentional attack is like a giant. One eye was puffy and bruised
man, with a scar just below his eyebrows. There is a speck of dried blood on the
white striped scratches on his left cheek, also on the right side of his neck thick,
which looks behind the open collar shirt tangles. It can be seen from the following
quote:
The person who sent the threatening letter, what is the problem? "Asked
Robin when they sat by side on the subway." Who's he? "(Galbraith:
2013; 214)
20
Universitas Sumatera Utara
The conclusion of the above statement is Strike experiencing pressures
that make it a little stressful. He had to pay its debts, pay the salaries of
secretaries, lost a leg because of the war, and many of the people who threatened
him because he was trying to solve the murder problem.

1.1 Background of the Study
Literature according to Edgar V. Roberts and Henry E. Jacobs in book
Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing (1995:2) refers to
compositions that tell stories, dramatize situations, express emotions, and analyze
and advocate ideas. Literature may be classified into four categories or genres: (1)
prose fiction, (2) poetry, (3) drama, and (4) nonfiction prose. From the various
types of imaginative literature, my choise falls on prose fiction or knowledge of
novel which is a fictitious prose narrative of considerable length and complexity,
portraying characters and presenting an organized sequence of events and scenes.
Novel is human literature creations. Novel do not, however, present a
documentary picture of life. Kennedy ( 1991:203 ) says that novel is a book length
story in prose, whose author try to create senses while we read, we experience
actual life and manner time when it was written. Novel have contenst such as plot,
character, setting, theme, and point of view.
The novel is broadest sense, a novel is any extended fictional prose narrative
focusing on a few primary characters but often involving scores of secondary
characters. The fact that it is in prose helps distinguish it from other lengthy works
like epics. We might arbitrarily set the length at 50,000 words or more as a
dividing point with the novella and the short story. According to Edgar V.Roberts
and Henry E.Jacobs (1987:49) novel was borrowed from French and Italian to
1
Universitas Sumatera Utara
describe these works and to distinguish them from medieval and classical
romances as something that was new. In their books, they also said that there are
four fiction aspects, they are character, plot, structure, and theme. The Cuckoo’s
Calling by Robert Galbraith is a detective novel.
According to Shaw Henry (1976:78) detective story is a narrative (short story
or novel) in which a mystery is unraveled by a detective through the assembly and
interpretation of clues. The tragic murder often occurred but not all is revealed,
because there is no detective who investigate that murder cases. There are six
elements of detective novel, such as solution of mystery, solving mystery,
incompetent or ineffectual police, a susfect whoappears guity at first but is later
proved innocent, detective’s friend, and often the narrator whose slowness in
enterpreting clues emphasize by contrast the detective’s brilliance. For the
example, the tragic murder that occurred on Ade Sara, a student at one of school
in Jakarta. The murder occurred on the basis of love quadrangle. Ade Sara was
killed by ex-boyfriend feel jealous and do not accept if Ade Sara have got a new
beloved. However her ex-boyfriend not do that murder alone. He’s helped by him
girlfriend. The murder which related background story of love often occurs in
Indonesia. However in Jakarta, the types of killings are rarely expressed at length
in the absence of detective. While murder cases which consist to supermodel, Lula
Landry in the novel The Cuckoo’s Calling by Roberth Galbraith can be
investigated because there is a detective who uncover as detail as detail the result
of finding to details of the murder homicide figures in detail. Therefore this novel
successfully expressed as a detective novel.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1
Detective Novel
Bonn, Julien D. (2010:42) detective story have six elements, such as
solution of mystery, solving mystery, incompetent or ineffectual police, a susfect
who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent, detective’s friend or
confidant, and often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes
by contrast the detective’s brilliance.
2.2
Intrinsic Approach
The intrinsic approach was originally written by Rene Wellek and Austin
Warren in their book “Theory of Literature”. Rene Wellek introduced his intrinsic
approach, which essentially is a study of literary work based on analyzing the
internal elements that build that work. According to Wellek (1962:332) The
natural of sensible starting point for work in literary scholarsip is the
interpretation and analysis of the works of literary themselves. After all, only the
works themselves justify all our interest in the life of an author, in his social
environment, and the whole process of literature. Wellek’s opinion is that the
study of literature naturally needs to be started from the analysis of the literary
work itself because then it would enable us to identify he many aspects that built
that work. Wellek further explained by introducing elements that from the
foundation of aliterary work, plot, setting, theme, character, point of view, and
style. By analyzing these elements, a student could comprehend the work by
figuring out how the story flows, where the story is set, how the characters act and
5
Universitas Sumatera Utara
think. Interinsic approach applied by the writer in order to show the elements of
the novel. Part of elements of the prose are characters, plot, setting, theme, and
point of view. This research uses those elements of prese because those elements
are related. Wellek and Warren (1997:139) in their book “Theory of Literature”
said that intrinsic approach are being introduced based on a survey of the wider
range of forms in modern literature. They also stated that the main part of intrinsic
approach is based on the text of literary works itself by doing an interpretation and
analysis of it (1997:139). Wellek and Warren describe three views of biographical
approach, of which only one the biographical aspects relating to the production of
a work. According to Wallek and Warren, works may indeed reflect the authors
experiences, but they must also reflect an author’s hopes and dreams, or literary
tradition and convention and not a document for biography.
Romantic flow is the flow that can only change the system of NeoClassical critical with pressing arguments relativism. Other times require other
standards as well. Old methods such as classical rhetoric, poetika, and the
dimensions must be learned again and again translated in modern terms.
In the 19th century, explanations to literature by examining its origins,
very popular. This tendency is actually also an attempt to imitate the methods of
the natural sciences. Lee concluded Sir.Sidney academic literary theory approach
that era so. Literary history search for external background, political background,
social, economic, and literary places were made. New methods based on a survey
of modern literary forms have been widely introduced. In France there is a method
explacation de textes. In Germany developed the study of literature. In England
6
Universitas Sumatera Utara
followers I.A. Richard began deciding attention to the text and the poetry critic in
America group began trying to restore a major concern in the study of literature.
Numerous studies drama drama suppress differences and life. Many novel studies
not only see the connection works with the social structure, but studying the
artistic method. For example, the events in the novel is a part of the content. But
the way; events are structured plot that is part of the form. The German
researchers trying to find a way out. Actually we only need menagakui, that
means the preparation of the events in the novel are part of the grooves form.
Traditional concept of distinguishing form and content are increasingly visible
weakness when we realize that language is part of the form consists of two terms.
The conclusion of the intrinsic approach by Wallek and Warren is the approach
the data from the text itself. This study used in France.
2.3 Descriptive Research
According to John W. Best (1982:42) in his books “Methodology of
Educational Research” said that there are three types of analysis that can be used
to classify educational research is historical research, description research, and
experimental research.
The first is historical research. Historical research is research that applies the
scientific method of solving a problem from a historical perspective. Collection
and interpretation process that occurred in the past, the present, the future also.
The second is a descriptive research. Descriptive research is to describe
the research indicated that there are phenomena, which take place on the current
7
Universitas Sumatera Utara
or past. This study was able to describe a situation alone, but can also describe a
state in its development stages.
The third is experimental research. Experimental research is the only
research that can test hypotheses to establish causal relationships. This is the
strongest chain of reasoning about relationships between variables.
Based on the above conclusions, the authors choose a descriptive study
because the author describes in detail the six elements of detective novels.

3. THE ANALYSIS OF ELEMENTS OF DETECTIVE STORY
IN THE CUCKOO’S CALLING BY ROBERT GALBRAITH
3.1
Solution of mystery
Solution of mystery is the first type of the six elements of detective novel.
Lula Landry allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of her flat
before the dawn. However, his brother John Bristrow, who doubted the decision to
decide to collect evidence, including CCTV footage of two strangers who wander
around the crime scene, as well as recognition in Lula's neighbors in the flat of the
supermodel altercation moments before the incident. From his penthouse
apartment at about two o'clock this morning, police received a report of a building
security officer. There has been no sign of the police will move the bodies, which
led to speculation. There is no information whether he was alone when he fell. It
can be seen from the following quote:
“The photographer stood huddled behind police guarded the boundary
line, long-lens cameras they were prepared. The entrance of the
apartment building behind the red brick, as well as a balcony on the top
floor where the body was dropped. The entrance is lined eighteen
numbers of police tape”. (Galbraith: 2013; 29)
With a little discouraged, John Bristrow meet an old acquaintance, a
former military police special investigation branch who had received awards and
current career as a private investigator, Cormoran Strike. Strike is a middle age
man thirties who failed in love, in debt up to near poor, and almost did not have a
potential client that can be a source of income for the sustainability office
detectives, even to support the day-to-day life. Jhon ignore Strike appearance no
9
Universitas Sumatera Utara
less rotten than the rundown office. He just hoped Strike becomes the only person
in this earth (other than himself) who believed that his brother had been killed
deliberately, and willing to do anything to uncover the truth. Jhon lucky Strike
interested to try it. With mature experience in the Army, thoroughness, and that
the truth will gradually emerge from the many details that seem unrelated. That he
does not have is evidence. It can be seen from the following quote:
“Five minutes later there was a knock at the door, and the Strike that is
already on the verge of natural sleep, and immediately jumped out of
his chair. "Sorry?" Natural subconscious already interwoven with
Charolotte again, it was surprising to see a foreign girl walked into the
room. The girl had taken off her coat, revealing sweeter beige colored
body-fitting cut, even a little tease. Strike directing his gaze to her
hairline. "Yes?" "There are clients come to see you. May be asked to
enter? "Who?" "The client, Mr. Strike.”(Galbraith: 2013; 29)
Strike looked at her for a moment, trying to digest the information. Robin
was waiting outside for two minutes after the doors open again. Strike
immediately lift his finger from his nose and sat up straight, trying to show bright
and alert expression on his chair. It turns out that the client is already waiting in
front of Mr. Bristrow.
The conclusion of the above statement is John Bristow meet with Strike
who detective to investigate the murder of her sister Lula Landry. However,
Strike not investigate alone, he was assisted by his friend, Robbin.
3.2
Solving mystery
Solving mystery is the second type of the six elements of detective novel.
The first solving mystery is Strike seek evidence Lula death by searching in the
virtual space such as Facebook and Twitter Lula Landry. He could not find a
10
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Facebook account Landry, and it also looks like she never joined Twitter. he does
not want to feed the greed of the things fans seem to actually members personal
inspiration to others to fill the void. There are many sites that are made for the
sake of showing off pictures of her as well as a variety of comments regarding his
obsessively. If the information contained therein yangt only half true, means the
member Strike Bristrow only a small part of the story that has been censored
younger self destructive tendencies. It can be seen from the following quote:
"Strike chasing shadows Lula Landry in cyberspace, occasionally
adding something on the record interview with Bristrow, Wilson, and
Kolovas-Jones”.(Galbraith:2013;133)
The second solving mystery is Completion of the second mystery is the
Strike came to the scene where the corpse was found that the supermodel. Strike
continues journey to find the evidence that may be found to search for the truth he
Lula case supermodel. Strike also went to various places that he thought there
would be evidence that revealed. It can be seen from the following quote:
“Having satisfied dig information from the streets around Barack, Strike
continued walking, making notes on a yellow trunk lines around the
area, Friday night parking ban, as well as other places that have their
own security cameras". (Galbraith: 2013; 149)
The third solving mystery is Strike seek information through a friend Lula
who at that time was with Lula, which Tansy. After listening to the tape and speed
up, he managed to find a part Tansy testimony depicting the moments just before
Lula Landry falling past the window. It can be seen from the following quote:
“to the bathroom, I heard shouts. Lula said, "it's too late, I already did,"
then a man say, bitch fucking liar, "and then the man pushed past the
railing. I actually saw it fall”. (Galbraith: 2013; 185)
The fourth solving mystery is Strike seek evidence of laptops Lula Landry.
11
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Towards the middle of the night, then turned his attention to Strike a
police report regarding the contents Laptop Landry, looks, police search for
emails that basically indicates somber mood or suicidal ideation, and in this case
they failed miserably. Strike read the emails sent and received Landry during the
last two weeks of his life. It's strange, but nonetheless real. Many photos that
show exceptional beauty Landry makes it difficult to believe the girl's Strike
actually never existed. The characteristics of himself on display everywhere have
made abstract, generic, although the face itself has a unique beauty. Various email
her at Strike reveals a lot of things that are not capable of submitted photographs.
It can be seen from the following quote:
“An awareness in the gut, rather than in the brain, that man is alive,
real, laughing, crying, dead has slammed the snowy London streets.
Strike hope to see the shadows of the killer Lula raised”. (Galbraith:
2013; 200)
The conclusion of the above statement is Strike the detective solves the
problem by looking for evidence of Lula's death through Facebook account, went
to the scene, seeking information through Lula's apartment, and the search for
evidence of a laptop Lula.
3.3
Incompetent or ineffectual police
Incompetent or ineffectual police is the third type of the six elements of
detective novel. The first incompetent or ineffectual police in the case of the
murder of Lula Landry is Police Sergeant Eric Wardle. This handsome guy has a
face like a teenager. His hair was thick and wavy. Police Sergeant Eric Wardle
just want to be famous because of fotograper and journalists who covered the
12
Universitas Sumatera Utara
murder of Landry. Police Sergeant Eric came to the place where the incident
found the body right at two o'clock in the morning. Actually he did not come to
investigate the murder case, but he wanted to get on television and is famous for
the corpse in front of him now is the corpse of the model. It can be seen from the
following quote:
“he ambulance will arrive in two minutes, "said Police Sergeant Eric
Wardle, who accidentally answer the question his superiors when he
entered the tent with a cell phone glued to his ear. "Now look for a place"
Carver muttered with a short body getting worse because she believes
Wardle actually pleased with the presence of fotograper”. (Galbraith:
2013;13)
The second incompetent or ineffectual police in the investigation of the
murder case of Lula Landry is Inspektur Roy Carver. Chubby man with a face as
red as the color of corned beef. Section underarm sweat shirt is usually a circle.
Supply thin patience has run out hours ago. He was at the scene where the bodies
of the supermodel's fall nearly as long with the corpse. Her feet are so cold as to
no longer feel, and because he is starving his head reel. It can be seen from the
following quote:
"Where's that damn ambulance?" Inspektur Roy Carver already
mounting. He was at the scene where the discovery of the bodies of
Lula Landry had been long, almost the length of the body. Her feet are
so cold until no longer felt, and because he is starving his head reel.
"They will not get lost as long as we still treat this place like a crime
scene," said Carver. (Galbraith: 2013; 13)
The third incompetent or ineffectual police n the case of Lula Landry is
Tom Waits. Men who have a small body size, dark-skinned, and had a great
jealousy against Strike Strike is more famous because of it. That evening vanishes
into the night behind a window. While Tom Waits growling and moaning from
13
Universitas Sumatera Utara
the CD player in the corner, Strike chasing shadows Lula Landry in cyberspace,
occasionally adding something on the record interview with Bristrow. Wilson, and
Kolovas-Jones. Tom Waits never scratching his own wrist and was found in a
pool of blood by a sorority sister, also lived in homeless and police found illegal
occupancy. It can be seen from the following quote:
“At nine o'clock, Strike goes to Chinatown to buy food, then back to the
office, replacing Tom Waits with Elbow, and dig up information on the
internet about Evan Duffield, men in general, even by Bristrow
considered not kill his girlfriend”. (Galbraith: 2013 ; 134)
The conclusion from the above is that incompetent or ineffectual police is
Sersan Police Eric Wardle, Inspektur Roy Carver, and Tom Waits.
3.4
A susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
A susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent is the
fourth of the six elements of detective novel. The first a susfect who appears
guilty at first but is later proved innocent is Shona Holland. He worked in
Betbusters in Hackney Road. He lived in a rented flat not far from the city. He
was the arrival of an uninvited guest named Brett Fearney, who used to beat his
sister. Apparently this is not the usual kind of denied his request. Shona Holland is
a person who is touted to be in the CCTV footage at the time of the incident the
discovery of the bodies of Lula. Jhon Bristrow still adamant about the CCTV
footage. He said something about it, Strike admit it. We tried to track them,
Wardle said, the two black men. We put out an announcement. Nothing appears
declare themselves. No wonder really, no car alarms sounded around the time they
pass through or trying to break in. Early pictures Lula showed a girl of sixteen
14
Universitas Sumatera Utara
with tub face of Nefertiti, which is also managed through the lens featuring a
stunning combination between worldliness and fragility, with legs like a giraffe
levels and rough scars on the inside of her left wrist. The fashion editors seem to
assume that scarred face additional impressive for Lula, because often times just
enjoy the pictures. It can be seen from the following quote:
“We believe that people who make Bristrow obsessed, which goes in
the direction of the flat Landry before he fell, got off the bus number
thirty-eight in Wilton Street at eleven-fifteen. Do not know what she did
before passing the camera again towards the opposite about ten minutes
after Landry falling, run fast in Bellamy Road, and most likely turn
right on Weldon Street. There are records of a person who is less lebioh
similar to his description, black, tall, wearing a face-covering veil and
skraf were caught on camera in Theobalds Road about twenty minutes
later. "(Galbraith: 2013; 134)
The second a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved
innocent is Freddie Bestigui. He was one person who was with Lula Landry in the
flat. He went into the flat and said something to the Lula Lula, but Lula is not
happy with his statement that. Lula's face was immediately apparent after talking
to her offense. Mr. Bestigui not like CCTV tool in the door of his flat. There
should be no recording devices. He was the first to buy a flat, entirely completed
before, so had no right to speak. Strike eager to assume Freddie Bestigui as the
culprit. He was there at the scene and had a reputation as a person who likes to do
violence. But probability be small. If she knew he did it, or he's out of the flat at
the time Landry fall, I'm sure she has told us. He was so out of control when we
get there. However, she said her husband was in bed at the time, and the sheets
and blankets had been slept mess. Plus, if he managed to slip out of her flat
without being seen and climbed to the flat Landry, there is still the problem of
15
Universitas Sumatera Utara
how he could get away from Wilson. No way he's down in the elevator, so he
would have passed Wilson on the stairs. It can be seen from the following quote:
“You do not think Freddie Bestigui culprit?" We do not think so.
"So he was eliminated as suspects because the calculation time?" Said
Strike. Wardle hesitated”. (Galbraith: 2013; 161)
The third a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
is Wilson. He had many years of working in the world of security. He claims to
have lied to get his first job, about ten years ago, and he maintained his resume
like that. Lula Wilson've liked for a long time. He is older than it looks. He had
grandfathers. Therefore, Lula never love her back. It is possible. Small possibility,
assuming Bestigui can move faster than most men with equal weight and age with
him, and if he ran after pushing Lula, but still there are the facts that we did not
find his DNA anywhere in the flat, how he could get out of her flat without getting
caught, and the small matter of why Landry allow him to enter. It can be seen
from the following quote:
“What do you think, if Wilson is suitable as a suspect the culprit?" Ask
Strike on the investigator. "No match, said Wardle. "It is impossible he
can go up, then down fast enough to meet Tansy Bestigui on the ground
floor. Just so you know, his resume nonsense. He was hired on the basis
of ever being a cop, but he was never in the police”. (Galbraith: 2013;
161)
The fourth a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
is Evan Duffield. She is very glamorous friend Lula. He looks on the screen
utilizing Lula fame as a supermodel. But now that he is gone now Lula died
instantly. He makes everyone annoyed. Now he go straight into rehabilitation after
Lula died. Man wearing a black T-shirt, black jeans, and black military-style coat.
His hair was black. Her face was sharp and thin stripes, cold blue eyes and looked
16
Universitas Sumatera Utara
straight into the camera. Although higher than the two flanking it, she looks very
fragile compared to other two. A big man in a suit is very restless, his mouth open
and his movement is being pushed as the crowd in front of him. It can be seen
from the following quote:
“What about Evan Duffield?" "He is," said Wardle. Twinkle visible
during darkness he talked Deeby Macc now vanished. "Bastard
compactor. "So when did you interview him?" Said Wardle to Strike.
"The next day, but we have to find him first. Just like Bestigui, they do
not want us to know what he actually did. (Galbraith: 2013; 163)
The fifth a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent is
Deeby Macc. He is a rapper. He has feelings of love for Lula Landry and in all his
songs he always mention the name Lula Landry. But, Lula Landry did not know
Deeby Macc. Macc Deeby just a Lula Landry fanatic fans are crazy about him.
Because crazy about crazy at Lula, to rent a flat in her apartment building Lula.
An American rapper should come to the same building. Record company rent
apartment flat under Lula. In the end he does not spend the night there. With the
police who controlled the building, it is easier if he was taken to the hotel. But the
fotograper, the car chase Lula when he left the Uzi, joined Macc were already
waiting outside the apartment building. It can be seen from the following quote:
“So there is quite a large crowd outside the entrance, although they are
all gone shortly after Lula entered. Somehow, they got a whisper that
Macc will not come there for hours to come”. (Galbraith: 2013; 49)
The sixth a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved innocent
is Bryony Radford. She is a makeup artist Lula Landry. The cost is expensive and
heavyweight whore she is. This woman is black. Lula often invites Bryonny to his
flat. This woman really stinks. He's not a real friend, but she will not easily
17
Universitas Sumatera Utara
believe him. Strike actually want to know what has been said Bryony to everyone
although not relevant to the issue at hand. He was about to raise my voice, but
Tansy hit him with a loud voice. I'm sorry, John, but Lula is not smart to choose a
friend, Tansy said, then absorb his coffee. Yes Ciara's example. Then there is
Bryony Readford. Not that he was a real friend, but I would not trust him easy. It
can be seen from the following quote:
“Who is that Bryony?" Ask Strike pretending, because he remembered
exactly who she was”. (Galbraith: 2013; 183)
The seventh a susfect who appears guilty at first but is later proved
innocent is Some Guy. She is a designer. He is a black man and skinny wearing a
dark blue colored coat with unusual pieces. His head bowed and his expression
unreadable because his face was covered shadows of light falling on a dark head.
Some guy immediately inform mass media that Lula plunge by using one of his
dress, which sold out within a period of twenty-four hours of the account after the
death of Lula Landry. There is no better advertising besides Lula Landry decided
to meet its creator by wearing Guy Some designs. It can be seen from the
following quote:
“In the bottom row of photos of the main photographs, there are photos
Some Guy”. (Galbraith: 2103; 78)
The conclusion from the above is that the suspects who allegedly killed
Lula Landry was Shona Holland, Freddie Bestigui, Wilson, Evan Duffield, Debby
Macc, Bryony Radford, and Some Guy.

3.5
Detective’s friend or confidant
Detective’s friend or confidant is the fifth type of six elements of detective
novel. Friends of the Strike, the detective who solves murder cases Lula Landry is
Robin Ellacott. Robin Ellacott is a beautiful girl, tall, and blonde hair reddish. He
was an employee of the Temporary Solution, a company that provides temporary
employees to fill a position vacancy. He worked as a temporary employee since
moving to London with Mattfew, but it did not last much longer, because he's
already got a few more job interview calls. For twenty-five years of his life, he
experienced a variety of plays and events, but he never woke up morning with the
certainty that he will remember the day that will last throughout their lives.
Matthew, fiance proposed to her at the Thai restaurant by way of foot kneeling in
front of three bums who crowded. And this time, Robin had to work for Cormoran
Strike. She was bent over and moaning in pain as she leaned against the office
door. Seeing how she curled her side with one hand under his coat, Strike suspect
he had saved the girl with the grip hard. Srtike not see Robin being in front of the
stairs. Strike pushed the door with his fingertips so that no further physical contact
with the girl who was still curled up there, and then led him into the office.
Unintentional attack is like a giant. One eye was puffy and bruised man, with a
scar just below his eyebrows. There is a speck of dried blood on the white striped
scratches on his left cheek, also on the right side of his neck thick, which looks
behind the open collar shirt tangles. It can be seen from the following quote:
"You Mr. Strike? "Said Robin. "Yes." Said Strike. "I was a temporary
employee.""What?" "Temporary employee, from Temporary Solution.
I'm Robin "(Galbraith: 2013; 25)
19

The conclusion from the above is that the friend who helps in the
investigation is Robbin Strike Ellacoott. Robbin was very instrumental in helping
the investigation.
3.6
Often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes by
contrast the detective’s brilliance
Often the narrator whose slowness in interpreting clues emphasizes by
contrast the detective’s brilliance is the sixth of the six elements of detective
novel. The pressures experienced by Strike behind brilliant ideas in solving the
murder case of Lula Landry is that he has only one leg only, almost bankrupt due
to heavily indebted, especially as he had to pay the salaries of temporary
secretary, and he was the stress from the divorce case with his wife. the farther he
goes down in this case, the dark reality also met, the greater the danger that
threatens her life. Strike pushed the door with his fingertips so that no further
physical contact with the girl who was still curled up there, and then led him into
the office. Unintentional attack is like a giant. One eye was puffy and bruised
man, with a scar just below his eyebrows. There is a speck of dried blood on the
white striped scratches on his left cheek, also on the right side of his neck thick,
which looks behind the open collar shirt tangles. It can be seen from the following
quote:
The person who sent the threatening letter, what is the problem? "Asked
Robin when they sat by side on the subway." Who's he? "(Galbraith:
2013; 214)
20
Universitas Sumatera Utara
The conclusion of the above statement is Strike experiencing pressures
that make it a little stressful. He had to pay its debts, pay the salaries of
secretaries, lost a leg because of the war, and many of the people who threatened
him because he was trying to solve the murder problem.
