Murder In The Old Castle
103. Crazy Idea
All were shocked by the discovery of a corpse covered in blood on the bathroom floor. Rudi can immediately recognize the corpse is Jenny! He was surprised to see the horrible sight. He immediately looked at Rasty with a pushy look.
“You ... you! You must have killed him!” accuse Rudi of Rasty.
Rasty did not expect that Rudi would accuse him like that. He was inflamed, shaking his head.
“You don't just talk to Rud! I hate Jenny, but that doesn't mean I killed her. I don't even know where Jenny went, now you're accusing me!” shout Rasty.
“Then, who killed him? The only one who might kill him right now is you!” rudy said as he pointed his index finger towards Rasty.
“You two shut up! I don't care who killed Jenny. But you guys have brought trouble to my house. The police will be here soon. What's clear is that one of us is the killer, because about an hour ago I still saw Jenny, the culprit is not our friends who have come home, but who are still here. One of us here is a killer!” said Gerry.
Those present looked at each other, suspecting each other. Most of them looked at Rasty with an accusatory look, because it was the girl who had the most likely motive. All understand, that Rasty harbors a deep jealousy for Jenny, because it has robbed Rudi of her.
“OK. Okay. I think it's better the police handle this. Be prepared! Each of us will be examined after this. Our lives will be uncomfortable, because we are chased by guilt. Even later when we return to campus, there must be a lot of talk about this. Sooner or later, news of Jenny's death will spread widely!” said Alex.
“How now? We call the police or what? I won't tell my parents who are on vacation in Europe. Surely I will be expelled if I know there are dead girls in this house,” complained Gerry.
“I don't think anyone touched a corpse! Later your fingerprints will be recorded, and we can be made suspects!” added Ferdy.
“Now we are all suspects!” ketus Alma who had been silent.
“No! I don't want to be a suspect! I don't know Jenny. I have nothing to do with him. I want to go home! I don't want to be involved in this!” miranti.
“No way, Mir. Like it or not, everyone here is a suspect. We can't run from that. Since we are all here, don't care to know or not!” said Gerry.
“Udah, already! What determines whether we are suspects or not is police. So you guys calm down. We'll wait for the police to check this out. Ger, as the host, you must immediately contact the police, because otherwise you will also be blamed,” said Alex
In this case, Alex looks assertive, unlike what was imagined all along. His appearance as a geeky youth was inversely proportional. He was actually a smart young man.
“We will not sleep tonight. What dreams am I. I'll call my dad first, if I'm gonna be home late. He'll worry if I don't come home soon,” lena complained.
“Len, don't tell anyone about this murder. Only we know in the meantime. So here we have nine people. Me, Alma, Dinda, Rasty, Miranti, Ferdy, Rudi, Lena, and Alex. We all need to shut up. We can't tell anyone, except the police because they are in charge of the case. If necessary, you do not need to go to college during the investigation!” gerry's Advice.
“So we can't go home first?” ask Rasty.
“Don't Rasty! We'll wait until the police arrive. At least later we will not be blamed for leaving the CTF, ", said Gerry
“I don't agree we call the police!” Suddenly Rudi made a sound.
All eyes looked at Rudi. They were astonished by what Rudi had said just now.
“If this is handled by the police, it will be a long matter. We will not be able to move, because the police will interrogate us every day. If my advice is, it's enough that we know this murder,” said Rudi.
“Continue? Body remanded? Don't worry you!” said Alex.
“Jenny is a girl. He lives with his elderly grandmother. All this time got remittances from om and tantenya outside the city. I don't think her grandmother would have panicked so much about losing Jenny. I'll tell her that Jenny's on vacation out of town with the rest of her friends. My idea is, we just dump Jenny's body in a lakeside town. The lake was deserted, there were rarely people there. Mumpung it's early morning, let's take Jenny's body there!” rumil Rudi's.
“We make sure the body sinks for a long time so it is not easy to find. How?” rumil Rudi's.
All speechless. What Rudi said has a point. The police will make matters more complicated. Maybe they should hide Jenny's body so it doesn't become a problem.
“Who agrees Rudi's proposal?” ask Gerry.
Alma raised her hand, followed by Rasty. Lena looks doubtful, and so does Miranty. While Dinda's face grew more anxious, she felt confused.
Alex shakes. Obviously he did not approve of Rudi's plan. Ferdi also looked doubtful, but then he shook his head.
“I disagree!" said Ferdy.
“Dinda?” ask Gerry.
Dinda shakes. It does not justify the way that Rudi would do. However, he prefers that the police will handle the case directly. According to him, what Rudi will do will bring psychological impact in the future. Maybe they'll be haunted by guilt.
“Good. You don't agree. The lena? Miranti?” ask Gerry.
“I agree deh,” said Lena later.
“Miranti?”
“I don't care! I want to go home!” mira said with fear.
“No can Mir. You are involved here. Can't just leave!” said Gerry.
For a moment Miranti thought, weighing both the good and the bad. To be honest, he was afraid of dealing with the law. This incident will inevitably drag him into the realm of law. He envisioned a long investigation process, perhaps he too would be called to court to bear witness.
“OK. I'm coming with you!” miranti.
“Which one?” insist Gerry.
“Most votes,” says Miranti.
“Three votes disagree, four votes agree that Jenny's body we dumped in the lake,” Gerry said.
“I agree Jenny's body was dumped into the lake!” miranti.
Adinda held her breath. He did not expect his friends would carry out the crazy idea that was thrown by Rudi. He thought, something more complicated will definitely happen after this.
“Good, the decision is already round! Remember, we're all involved here. So all should cover each other up if the police ask. No one can be a traitor. An absolute voice agreed that Jenny's body would be thrown into a lake on the edge of town. We'll do that right now!” gerry.
