Murder In The Old Castle
109. Identities
Dimas read the former–file in his hand carefully. He had just received a forensic report of a girl floating in the lake the other day. Her identity is not yet known, but it is certain that the floating figure was a girl in her 20s, killed by a stabbing sharp objects in the abdomen and chest, this caused him to lose a lot of blood.
In addition to this information, the data also mentions that there is a content of GHB or Gamma Hydorxybutyrate in his blood. Apparently the killer deliberately mixed this drug in drinks until the victim was unconscious. There was no physical violence or rape on the victim. The forensic report also stated that the victim was 9 weeks pregnant. Looking from the stab wound, the victim was stabbed at close range.
“I think the motive for this murder is romance. Maybe his girlfriend did not want him pregnant, then just finished off,” said Reno argued, after observing the forensic report.
“We can't conclude yet, Ren. Could be another reason. I learned from the old castle case. Who knew the motive for the writers' murder? It turns out that more than just a grudge, the killer did just for fun,” said Dimas.
“It's terrible. The most important thing we know first the identity of the victim, only after that we trace the ins and outs of his personal life,” said Reno.
“Currently fingerprints are being checked, to be matched with SIM identity data in the police force. Unfortunately, this is a bit long considering the condition of the fingers that begin to bulge and damage. Hopefully they can find the identity of the victim soon,” said Dimas.
“Good work, Dim! I'm sure after this your name will soar like Ammar Marutami!” praise Reno.
“I don't need popularity, Ren. I think all the police will have the same instinct in solving a case.”
Suddenly a policewoman came into the room with a file. He handed the file to Dimas.
“Please Yes Fani!” dimas said while receiving the file.
The policewoman named Fani nodded. He immediately came out of the room, without a word.
Dimas carefully observed the file, then smiled widely. He snapped a finger immediately.
“They've found a fingerprint match of the girl's corpse. It's a little hard, but they say the fingerprint pattern has something in common with SIM C on behalf of Jenny Veronica Lubis. There is full data here, including the address. This afternoon we can slide to check the address listed, whether there are reports of loss or not, and we can immediately handle this murder case!”
“You think this case will be as complicated as the old castle case?”
“I think it's a normal case, Ren. The old castle looks complicated because there were several murders that happened and was deliberately covered up. In addition to the remote location of the old castle, it was very difficult to investigate. We are now in the middle of the city with easy access. I'm sure this case can be solved soon!” dimas said optimistically.
“Hopefully so! Unfortunately I have a somewhat different opinion of you. Precisely the location of a remote old castle with difficult access, we can bend the perpetrator because he can not escape everywhere. While this time we are in a large city, with a heterogeneous society, of course it is a challenge that we cannot underestimate!” Reno gave a response.
“There's a point. Hopefully with the technology we have, we can immediately summarize the girl's killer,” said Dimas.
The two immediately prepared whatever was necessary for the next investigation process. Dimas was enthusiastic because he was trusted to handle interesting cases like this. His experience in the old castle, makes him even more confident to solve another murder case.
By noon, Dimas and Reno were about to fill the stomach first, because the stomach was already screaming hunger. They deliberately chose a subscription food stall located near the city center.
A fairly complete food stall, providing a variety of Indonesian cuisine. They had just gotten out of the car, when a young woman with well-groomed hair half ran over. The woman was dressed neatly, with a gray blazer and a microphone clasped in hand. He came with a man who was carrying a camera.
Gilda Anwar, an intelligent reporter who is very popular in the news world. He is known to the public because he often covers sensational criminal news. He is also known to be brave in finding news sources, to have to break through the CTF which should not be visited. Reno and Dimas are already very upset with Gilda Anwar, as this reporter is often chasing for information.
“Gilda Anwar! You followed us earlier?” ask Reno.
“Please excuse me, Sir. Because we were not allowed to enter the police station, so we were forced to do that,” Gilda Anwar said.
“Gilda, we're about to have lunch because we're so hungry this afternoon. So we strongly refused your interview. We'd better wait for the official police information. Since we are also the same as you, still cannot say anything about this case!” reject Reno.
“But has there been the identity of the corpse, Sir?” ask Gilda again while pushing the loudspeaker towards Reno.
He also hinted that the camera carrier immediately took pictures.
“Loh, didn't I tell you we didn't accept the interview? How to stay reckless?” Reno started to frown.
“Perhaps a little caption for viewers at home, Sir?” insist Gilda.
“Later if there is information we will definitely convey yes. Sorry, but not now. So I hope you find some other news first. Like the wedding of an artist. In this case, we chose not to comment. Good afternoon!”
Reno doesn't care. He and Dimas immediately entered the food stall. Gilda Anwar fell silent with a feeling of disappointment. He was forced to return to the coverage car with his cameraman.
“It is very difficult for the police to be invited to cooperate. Shit!” lamented Gilda.
“Yes all cops are like that, Ma'am!” the cameraman responded.
“I have to get an exclusive report on the case. Yesterday the case of our old castle failed to get conclusive news because the TV channel next door already covered first. This time we can't lose fast, Wandi. Let's get moving! Even if the police don't give any information, we will find the news about this murder!” gilda was excited.
“But where it started, Ma'am. Don't we know the identity of the body?” ask Wandi.
“I'll get information from the police. Hm. Ordinary, we have someone who can help there,” Gilda said with a smile.
“Fani? Ma'am Gilda wants to ask for information from Fani?” ask Wandi.
Gilda nodded. His profession as a reporter of criminal news requires him to think creatively. At the police station, Gilda has an informant named Fani. Usually Fani leaked a little about secret things in the police that have not been disclosed to the public. It's not free. Gilda had to provide some money to force Fani to make a sound. However, it does not matter, considering the competition in the world of news is so tight. Accurate information from a report will raise the rating sharply.
