Murder In The Old Castle
116. Mysterious Wallet
After Alma's funeral, Rudi and Nayya did not return home, but stopped for lunch at a restaurant. It was actually too late for lunch, as the time had already shown at 16:16. However, at Alma's funeral, Rudi was hungry so decided to eat first.
They sat in a small, less crowded restaurant, ordering food that was not so heavy, but quite filling. They don't talk much. Mata Rudi continued to guerrilla around with anxiety, afraid to meet with the authorities.
In fact, that fear proved to be true. After the dinner, he found a letter from the police asking for his presence at the police station to be informed about the death of Jenny Veronica. He was confused whether he should come to the call. If he does not come, he will be forcibly picked up by authorities.
Nayya who is still in Rudi's contract is also curious about the letter.
“Where is the letter, Rud?” ask Nayya.
Actually Rudi did not want to tell a story, but he thought there was no point in avoiding. Anyhow, sooner or later Nayya will know. He handed the call from the police to Nayya. The girl read carefully.
“Call from the police? Are you involved with Jenny's murder?” ask Nayya.
“I'm the last one with Jenny, Nayya. It is natural that the police ask for information from me,” replied Rudi.
“Oh, but you're not involved, are you, sweetheart?” ask Nayya.
“Of course not, Nayya! I don't know anything about the murder!”
Nayya nodded slowly, although there was a sense of worry. He immediately came home. Today, he felt very tired. I want to feel right home.
“Mental prepare yes Rud. Don't be nervous!” order Nayya before you leave.
Nayya reached home before Magrib. He immediately cleaned himself under the shower, then changed his clothes. He put his tired body on the spring bed. Inwardly, he was worried that Rudi was indeed involved with Jenny's murder.
He's been checking messages on his phone all day. Sometimes if he is busy, he ignores the incoming messages. Quite a number of them, and some have attracted him quite. There were several messages sent from an unknown number.
The messages surprised him! How not? The unidentified number sent photos of Alma with her head crushed. Nayya shudder!
“Oh Lord! Who's the crazy guy who did this?” muttered.
Not to mention the loss of surprise with the delivery of the photos, a scary message back in. The contents of the message instantly terrorized his feelings. The parasites turned anxious. He read the message again, to be sure to come back.
You want to be next?

As usual, Ferdy got a night shift. He was accompanied by Vera who was soon to return home. However, there is still some work to be done. There weren't many pharmacy visitors that night. He felt sleepy, not as usual. Vera saw him yawn a few times.
“Tumben you sleepy Fer? Usually spirit?” ask Vera while arranging the medicine shelf.
“Not knowing Ver! I was at my friend's funeral this afternoon, so it might be a little tired,” Ferdy said.
“Those students who died from being killed? You know him?”
“Nnot very familiar anyway. He's my cousin's girlfriend, so I see him sometimes,” Ferdy said.
“If you think of horror also yes Fer. The city is becoming less safe. Many murders occurred. Not to mention the forgotten old castle case, this again appeared the student murder case. So afraid if you want to go out,” said Vera.
“I was also worried. It could be that the murdered are not just the girls, right? It could be handsome guys like me. Kan danger!” ferdy said with a laugh.
“Pede really ah!”
“Oya, Fer. Last afternoon there was a package delivery loh.”
“Make me?” ask Ferdy.
“Iya. Package for you. I just checked that there was no sender name. Hm. From who? Your fans huh?” Vera Goda. There was a jealous tone from his words.
“No idea from whom, Ver. Tumben I got a package. It's not ordinary!”
Ferdy received the package, observing closely.
“So curious about its contents. Open dong Fer!” pinta Vera's.
Ferdy nodded. He opened the package carefully.
“What yes about its contents?” ask Ferdy.
Open package. A used cardboard box contained a lady's purse of cloth, with patches of blood. Vera flinched, and so did Ferdy.
“Cock bloody wallet? Who sent Fer?” ask Vera curiously.
“Ndon't know either, Vera. This is really weird. Looks like something intentionally scared me.”
“Ya Forgiveness! Do you know whose wallet this is?”
“Ngak Ver! That's why I'm worried that someone will know me.”
“Report to the police, Fer. Let me trace who the sender of this mysterious package. This kind of action can already be categorized as terror,” suggested Vera.
“Ah don't do it, Ver! Males is in contact with the police. Let alone. What matters is that we are safe. The feeling is that I have no enemies, but if the fans are a lot of hehe,” as well as Ferdy.
“How to do that?”
“Lupain aja! This is the work of irresponsible people. He wants me to be scared. That's what the sender of this package is expecting. I better be normal. The more I'm afraid, then the sender of the package will be more happy.”
“By, Fer! I'm going home first, not late at night. Take care of yourself!”
Vera is getting ready to go home. Ferdy nodded. His co-worker left Ferdy alone. For a moment Ferdy looked at the woman's purse that was splattered with blood, then put it in the drawer.
The atmosphere of the pharmacy was quite quiet. The road outside is pretty quiet. Sate sellers on the other side do not sell anymore, so it adds more silence. Ferdy stepped in front of the pharmacy, noticing the deserted road conditions. The street lights went off at some point, so the atmosphere was a bit dark. Above 11 pm, there are usually some hunchbacks passing by, usually fond of teasing himself. However, tonight was indeed quieter than usual.
Sometimes Ferdy feels haunted by fear. The events on New Year's Eve really left a sense of unease. He looked back at the package he had just received. Of course he knew whose purse he was, but he deliberately did not tell Vera, fearing that his co-worker would be afraid.
The flower-patterned cloth purse with the bloodstain was Jenny's. He took the wallet, checked the contents. There is no identity or anything there. When Jenny's body was found in the bathroom, her body was half-naked. There was not a single personal item attached to his body.
Suddenly he heard the sound of objects falling from the back of the kitchen. He jumped on guard.
“Who?” tanyakanya.
His feelings are not out of whack. He stepped into the kitchen vigilantly, to check what was happening. He hopes, hopefully not a bad thing.
