Murder In The Old Castle
125. Blood-soaked Sacks
Reno and Dimas cars stopped at the edge of the sidewalk, in front of a large building that lined a kilometer along the road. The building is about a hundred meters from the highway, jutting inwards towards a vast warehousing complex. So vast, even equipped with its own highway, and the lights that light dim. While on the other hand, there are piles of containers that rise to several levels. This warehousing complex contains various goods from the port, stockpiled before distribution.
Among the rows of warehouses, there were some of them that were empty and abandoned. Because it is empty, it is very appropriate to be used as a hiding place, because of its location near the forest and a little far from the city center.
“Where do we start?” ask Dimas.
He felt hesitant to comb from where, because the vastness of the warehousing complex. There are also dozens of parked cars in the parking area. Some of them are white, making it more difficult to investigate.
“I don't know either. It really stuck me out. The killer could have been somewhere else. It's really like looking for fleas in hay. I think we should just go back to the office.”
Reno looked desperate, exhaling.
“So we are resigned and ready to receive bad news tomorrow, and accept the fact that the girl we are looking for has been found dead on the river bank, as the contents of the message you received?” said Dimas.
“I've asked for the help of some other units to be on standby along the banks of the river in case anything suspicious. I don't think the killer will be so reckless.”
Suddenly, Reno's eyes caught a black shadow in the distance, near a grove of trees. The black figure seemed to settle while looking at the surrounding situation. It is located right near an abandoned and empty warehouse complex. Usually the warehouse that is still used will be guarded by security guards, but the empty warehouse complex is left unkempt.
“Dim! Let's see that black figure!” whispered Reno.
“Yes, I also saw. What's he doing all those nights? His behavior is suspicious,” said Dimas.
“Let's samperin him! Prepare your gun!”
Reno got out of the car slowly, followed by Dimas. They settled towards a strange looking black figure near the trees. They tread carefully while continuing to lurk so that the quarry does not escape. Unfortunately, when they reached the location, the figure they were intending was already invisible.
“Where does he go?” ask Dimas.
“Definitely around here! Let's go find it! Stay alert!” reno's orders.

Braak!
Click!
The black-clothed figure closed the door of the warehouse, while locking it.
“Sial! As I thought, the two policemen finally sniffed my whereabouts. Don't make any noise! Because they're combing around this place. If they find you, then I will kill you right now!” threaten that figure.
Nayya just stared at the figure with an angry and annoyed look. Actually he wanted to shout out loud so that people knew of his whereabouts. Unfortunately with the condition of the mouth is gagged like this is certainly very difficult. Let alone talking, to breathe was also a bit difficult.
“Tomorrow early in the morning before sunrise, we must leave this place, because I do not want anyone to see our movements. The plan is tonight I'm going out again to hunt dogs. There's something I need to finish. I hope those cops get out of here soon!”
“After that, I will take you to a place that no one may have expected. I haven't decided whether I should finish you off or let you live. Even if I let you live, I'll make sure you shut up forever. Or I could cut off your tongue!”
Nayya shuddered. I don't know what kind of sadistic creature he's dealing with right now. He just wanted to be free, imagined the face of his father and mother who were waiting at home. They must be worried because they are waiting for him who does not come home. He heard his phone ringing from earlier, still deliberately turned off by the figure. He did not hear the phone ring anymore.
“I understand what you're thinking, Nay. I have also felt scared and alone. But I can get through that. You guys, are popular girls who rely on body dandy, regardless of the feelings of others. Now, everything you are proud of is coming to an end!”
Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps and people conversing from outside the building. The figure squinted, while hinting that Nayya did not make a sound. He remained vigilant until the sound completely disappeared.

Morning greeted the somber looking town. People have started their activities since the early hours of this day. On the banks of the river that divides the city, there is a garden full of flowers, equipped with a comfortable jogging-track, as well as attractive garden chairs. Many residents of the city use the place to just walk or exercise.
However, some people who were exercising on the banks of the river were surprised by the discovery of a sack covered in blood. They huddled while whispering. Apparently the news of the murder of two girls that happened before, making them wary, lest this sack contains murder victims!
“Call the police! Looks like something's wrong with this sack!” said a man with glasses.
Soon one of the crowd called the police with his mobile phone.

Reno was asleep in her chair, as she returned to the office in the early hours of the morning. He decided to sleep in the office instead of going home. Dimas chose to go home. Not to mention his sleepiness was gone, this morning he was awakened because of the discovery on the riverbank by people who happened to exercise there.
Actually he is lazy to wake up, because his head is still throbbing due to lack of sleep. He stared at his reflection in the glass of the sink. The parasite looks lethargic. However, he could not ignore this news. After washing his face, accompanied by several picket police personnel, he fled the car to the location of the riverbank where the discovery of the blood-soaked sack.
The townspeople were already crowding, but did not dare to approach the sack that looked covered in blood. They were curious about something that might be in the sack.
“Everything please back down!”
A police officer immediately gave the order, while setting up a police line at the scene so that the townspeople did not get too close. Reno looked at the sack with a restless feeling. Will his worries last night turn out to be real?
Among the row of spectators, he glanced at the figure of Gilda Anwar who again always came first. Reno threw away a glance. Now he doesn't care anymore. He is now focusing on two police officers who are ready to open the contents of the suspicious sack.
“Viewers, as you can see, we are at the site of the discovery of a mysterious sack covered in blood. This sack was found by one of the residents who was exercising this morning. Right now the police will open up what is really inside that sack. Let's follow the live broadcast!”
Gilda Anwar started her broadcast, while Wandi took pictures. Then, Wandi turned the camera to highlight the sack that the police officer was about to open. Reno looked at the opening seconds of the sack with her heart beating violently.
Shortly after, the sack opened! Everyone in there held their breath looking at the sack!
