Murder In The Old Castle
135. Rasty's Confession
Ferdy and Adinda came out of Reno's room, then walked out of the police station building with just a nod to Gerry and Rasty. This made Rasty even more curious. He looked at their departure with question marks.
“What are they talking about inside?” ask Rasty.
Gerry just shrugged his shoulders. He seemed to not care about the departure of Ferdy and Adinda. He just sighed.
“You know, Race! Even though Ferdy and I were mating, sometimes I didn't know him. Sometimes he's weird, and closed. But yes it is. The nature of people is different,” said Gerry.
“I don't know your cousin very well. But the strange thing here is Adinda. How come he seems to really like Ferdy to that extent?”
“Ndon't know! We doain they are happy. Not like me. Have a good and beautiful lover, killed slaughtered! Then I called the police as if I were a murder suspect. It's not fair in this world, I guess!” lamented Gerry.
“You're the only one who feels that way? Everyone also thought it was as if I killed Jenny because of my hatred for her. Though touching his skin was never.”
Gerry did not want to respond further. He focused instead on eliminating the nervousness that inhabited his heart. He squeezed his hand to relieve the nervousness, before Reno approached.
“Rasty! Please come with me!” reno's orders.
Rasty follows Reno into a small room with a wooden table and chair, as well as dimly lit lamps. The situation was similar in the interrogation room he had seen in the movie. He tried to stay calm, although he was undeniably nervous.
“Not to be tense. Just relax! We are only asking for information about Jenny's death. We found your name as one of the students who came home last time at the party where Jenny was last seen alive. Until then Jenny was found dead in the bathroom.”
Reno deliberately conveys that fact to provoke Rasty's reaction, whether the girl is willing to admit that fact or not. Rasty's starting to look uncomfortable.
“To my knowledge, Jenny was found dead in the lake Pak.Not in the bathroom,” Rasty said hesitantly.
“Hmm. You certain? One reliable source said that you found Jenny's body in the bathroom, then dumped it into the lake. You think that's the wrong news?”
Rasty was silent. He was astonished, because Reno knew the true events that happened during the party. Rasty begins to suspect someone is leaking the true events to the police. He could not cover up his nervousness.
“Ma-sorry, Sir. Where did you get that information?” Rasty dared to ask.
“Of course I can't tell you, because we keep the identity of this informer very confidential for the sake of security. You just answered, is it true you found Jenny's body in the bathroom after the party, then you agreed to throw it into the lake for fear of dealing with the police?”
Once again Rasty was silent. It was like he was at a loss for words. If he is still evasive, it is not impossible that the police will increasingly accuse him. Rasty is caught in a dilemma he can't solve. He was confused as to what to answer. In the end he could only nod weakly with a blank look.
“That's right if Jenny was found in the bathroom before being dumped into the lake?” Reno reiterated.
“Iya Sir. It was before that we found Jenny's body in the bathroom. Then we agreed to dump the body into the lake. Not for fear of us being suspects, but we were in a state of confusion that night, whereas we had never been in contact with the police before,”.
“You're sure this isn't an attempt to cover up a crime? Just out of fear of the police you are committing an act that is not legally justified? Just think about it! Had you reported the discovery of the body that night to the police, I would have made sure you would have slept well. If it's like this, you can all be suspects, because you dumped Jenny's body at the same time,” Reno said.

“With this incident forced I will check all of you without exception. Because the killer could be anyone among you nine. We make sure it's not an outsider, because Jenny was killed after the party, when the other guests were home, and you left nine. Of those nine, one of them had already been killed as well. Alma. You know him too, right?”
“Iya Sir. I know Alma,” replied Rasty briefly.
“Not yet after the case of Jenny and Alma, a new victim has fallen, although it is not yet certain if there is any connection to the previous case. Another girl was also reported missing. Uniquely, this girl is the lover of Rudi, one of the nine students who are still at Gerry's house after the party,” Reno said.
“Sorry, Sir. I don't know Nayya very well. I can't give you any opinion,” said Rasty.
“That's the name you know Nayya! Though I didn't mention Nayya by name, but you immediately thought that the one missing was Nayya. Must be because I said it was Rudi's girlfriend huh?”
“But ... The real missing one is Nayya right, sir?” ask Rasty.
“Is that information important to you?”
Rasty shook his head quickly. He doesn't want to ask anymore. He was worried that the police would come after him with questions.
“And why do we call you for questioning, because we want to clarify that the possibility of you being the perpetrator of the murder is very strong. Everyone knows that your relationship with Jenny is not good. Some witnesses say that you had mocked each other with Jenny before her death. Of course, no wonder that some people have the assumption that you killed Jenny,” said Reno.
“Oh, no Sir! That's not true! Yeah, I don't like Jenny, but that doesn't mean I'm the killer. I can't prove that I didn't kill Jenny, but I'm sure you'll know that I didn't kill the girl,” Rasty said.
“OK, we will prove it later. I also don't know if Jenny and Alma's killers are the same or different people. What is clear is that these girls have something in common, which is popular girls on campus, often changing girlfriends. We do not know the motive for this murder actually,” said Reno.
“Maybe you should check on Rudi again, sir. He's the one with the idea of dumping Jenny's body into the lake. Maybe he has a hidden purpose. Jenny is Rudi's boyfriend. While Alma I do not know,” said Rasty.
“So what were you doing when Jenny died that night?”
“Actually I'm again outside sir. Then I looked for my two friends, Lena and Miranti. I think you should call them too. They also don't like Jenny. If that's why I'm a suspect because I don't like Jenny, then you should call Lena and Miranti as well. Can't everyone be a suspect? As you said earlier,” said Rasty.
“We will indeed call them. You don't have to worry. In the end you all have to account for what you have, because legally you are adults, not children.”
“I understand, Sir. What we did was spontaneous, no previous plans, I make sure it was.” Rasty said firmly.
Reno mangosteen. They continued the question and answer session. Reno asked Rasty a lot. The question and answer process took almost three hours.
Out there, Gerry waited in annoyance. He sat alone in the waiting room like a useless person. He went outside the police station because he was bored. He went back to the car to get water. However, his steps stopped when he saw an inscription on the front of his car, written using lipstick.
You Will Die Next! (You'll die next!)
