Murder In The Old Castle
137. Fail
Nayya approached the sleeping figure with a tiptoe. He knew that the key to the apartment room was in the small bag he was wearing. Chest thumping. Worried that figure will open his eyes. Indeed, the figure looks slick with the TV remote clasped in hand. Meanwhile, the TV is still on broadcasting cooking programs.
Nayya was a bit hesitant, when she was already beside the figure who was fast asleep. Slowly, he brought his hand closer to the small bag still on the body. He opened the small bag slowly, holding his breath. He realized that sudden movements could have made the figure wake up.
He stirred the contents of the small bag carefully, looking for the key. Unfortunately, there are several other keys that are in the bag, so he must make sure which key fits the apartment door. He knew this apartment was still using conventional technology. The building is quite old, unlike modern apartments that have sprung up all over the city. The access system in the apartment, which usually uses an identity card, does not apply in this apartment.
After a few minutes, he picked up a key with a heart-shaped hanger. Well, he had seen the key used by the figure locking the door. No doubt, it must be the key with this heart-shaped hanger that he uses to lock the room. He took the key immediately, slowly approaching the door.
Ia memasukkan anak kunci ke dalam lubang, memutarnya dengan hati-hati. Semuanya terjadi dengan begitu cepat sampai ia merasa pundaknya disentuh oleh seseorang. Sebilah belati menempel di punggungnya.
“Don't try to escape!” whispered the figure with an angry look.
All over Nayya's body felt limp for a moment. He had to hand over the key to the figure who was now standing in front of him. Nayya held her breath. He felt something about to explode in his chest. His feelings are mixed. He was upset with himself who failed to escape from the room, even though the opportunity was in sight.
“It's not that easy to get away from me, Nayya!”
“ Basic shithead! The police will arrest you! You'll rot in jail!”
Nayya was unable to hold back her emotions anymore. He was expressing emotions that were starting to peak. Unfortunately, that figure seemed to not care. He just grinned and grinned.
“They won't catch me, either, Nayya. I'm gonna make it all complicated. Maybe tomorrow morning, they'll find a new body. Someone different than before. They think these murders only apply to girls. But just look! I'll give you a different surprise. There will be new victims that are not what they expected. I'll make them think hard!” say that figure.
“You're crazy! You are crazy!” pekik Nayya's.
“Iya Nayya. You can make fun of me crazy or whatever. The world is unfair and full of crazy things, right? I will demand that justice in my own way!”
Nayya said nothing more. He stared at the figure hatefully, while the figure prepared to leave.
“I'll be leaving tonight! Be fine in here, and don't try to get out. I'm gonna make a new sacrifice for those cops. A victim they didn't expect before!”
The figure walked out of the room, leaving Nayya alone. Of course he locked the door so that Nayya could not go out anywhere. This made Nayya even more anxious. Back he went to the balcony to check if there was a chance to escape from the place. However, it seems that there is no. He was trapped inside a room that was towering hundreds of feet from the ground.

“Don't worry, you'll be fine. Yeah, I know anyone would freak out when they get a death threat. You take it easy, I will protect you, because it is my duty. Don't underestimate me! Even though I'm a girl, I'm the best shooter on the force.”
Fani starts babbling, while Gerry still looks restless. This time they passed through a deserted area with a row of trees on the right-left side of the road. Not surprisingly, this area is quite prone to crime because in addition to deserted, some distance also with residential areas. Street lights are also partially dead, thus adding to the silence of the place.
“I'm always upset when I go this way! Unfortunately we cannot avoid it because it is the only route that connects the central and eastern regions. We could actually go through shortcuts, through narrow alleys. However, it will take a long time because I am not so roadblocked, as well as many policemen sleeping.”
Suddenly Fani's eyes squinted. He noticed the car lights were so bright from the rearview mirror of the car. He looked back. A car seemed to be trailing from behind. Fani slows down the pace of the car, allowing the car behind to get ahead. Unfortunately, when Fani's car slowed down, it slowed down. So, Fani thinks that the car behind has bad intentions.
“Bigger! He doesn't know who's dealing with! This is a police car, still also dare to play around!” grout Fani.
He sped up the car, then parked the car on the side of the road. The atmosphere was very quiet, not a single vehicle passed by. The car that was trailing seemed to have been parked some distance behind. Gerry was panicking seeing that.
“You don't need to panic. This area is famous for being vulnerable. Maybe it was a drunk young man. Let me face it!” said Fani.
The trailing car was parked several tens of meters behind Fani's car. While the policewoman waited, whether the passenger got off or not. He watches the car from the rearview mirror. However, after waiting for quite some time, the car that was trailing behind him remained unmoved. No one got out of the car. This makes Fani feel anxious. He put a gun to his waist.
“You wait here and don't come out if I don't tell you!” fani's orders.
Fani got out of the car alert, then stepped confidently towards the car that stopped not far from his car. He could not see the driver because the glass was too dark. Fani tapped on the windshield, waiting for a response from the driver.
“Sorry Sir, I'm a cop. You have driven beyond the speed limit. Can you please open the glass?” fani.
Unfortunately, there was no support from the car. This made Fani curious. He grabbed a flashlight in his pants pocket, then pointed it at the car glass. Unfortunately, this effort did not help much. He still had no response from inside the car.
Fani became angry. He opened the door of the car violently. Apparently the door was not locked. But, he was surprised! The car had no passengers. Someone must have snuck out when he hadn't noticed.
While in the police car, Gerry looked at all of it with anxious foreboding. The white car looks so mysterious. It was seen trailing, and then the passengers just disappeared!
