Murder In The Old Castle
141. Frustrating Revenge
The white sedan entered the parking lot under the towering apartment building. Gerry was forced to follow the direction the figure had pointed out. He realized, when acting silly would be fatal consequences. At this time he was a little surprised, because he never knew about this apartment.
“This is your apartment?” ask Gerry.
“Why? I rented this apartment four days ago because the rent was cheap. The place is also rather remote on the edge of the city. Sometimes I use it to rest. Now get out of the car and act like nothing. After this we will take the elevator!” say that figure.
“What should I do in your apartment?” Gerry kept asking.
“Let's also you'll know, Ger! Someone is waiting for you there. I'm setting up a scenario that would be a little surprising. So just follow the flow, and don't ask too many questions!”
Gerry was curious. His premonition said, the scenario that this figure was devising was not a good thing. After all, he had to follow the path that was already prepared for him.
He got down from the car, while the figure walked behind him vigilantly. They boarded the elevator, headed to the same room used to hold Nayya. The figure took out a key with a heart-shaped hanger, then they entered the apartment.
Gerry was surprised to find Nayya there, lying on the bed with a lethargic and sad face. Nayya also looked surprised by their presence. He sat down and looked at them with a look of wonder.
“I'm sure you guys already know each other, so I don't have to introduce myself to each of you!” say that figure.
“Why did you kidnap him too? Isn't he innocent?” ask Gerry.
“Nguilty? You just don't know who this girl really is. I know what he did in the past. It was just that all this time he was pretending to be holy. But of course I won't reveal it here. What is clear, all those mistakes must be paid in cash!”
Gerry speechless. What mistake was made by Nayya, so this figure kidnapped her? He didn't ask anything more. Nayya looked at him deeply. The girl looked weary, with my eyes glazed over from lack of rest. There was compassion in Gerry's heart, but he could do nothing. Even his own life is in danger.
“You guys will temporarily stay here, while I have some business out there. Tomorrow will be a long day for you, and also for me. Don't be surprised, maybe the city will get more scared. Moreover, the death of that female policeman would really shake. There will be no safe place in this city,” said the figure.
“Your crimes will not last long! Yes, I did have something wrong with you, but it was a long time ago and I assumed it was over. I didn't expect that you still held that grudge fire in your heart. I forgot about it.”
Nayya finally opened her voice. The figure is smiling. Just this time Nayya opened her voice from the first day of her captivity. All this time the girl chose silence, but this time she had to make a sound because she now knew the reason why the figure she knew kidnapped her.
“I'm a vengeful man, Nayya. I don't forget the people who hurt me. Now is not the time to forgive, but now is the time to pay for all the mistakes you have made. Including you, Gerry! Don't think you're innocent. I'll give you everything you do, but not now. I'm glad Alma's dead. You know what it's like to lose someone you love, right?”
The figure's gaze turned towards Gerry.
“Actually Alma is innocent right?” ask Gerry.
“Yes! Alma is innocent! I killed him so you could feel the pain of losing someone you love. Just like I lost someone I loved too!”
“But isn't that unfair?”
“You think what they did to me was fair too? Fuck the justice! I will demand justice in my own way. So don't blame me if one of you will die. You are all guilty of me!”
“You ... you are sick. Your soul hurts!”
“I don't care, Gerry! Hush now! After this I'll be out because there's something else I'm going to do. Make yourself comfortable in this apartment, because maybe your life will not be long!

Meanwhile, on the sidewalk, Reno was still sitting while propping up her chin, as if she could not believe what was happening.
“Already, no need to think too deeply. Fani's death is not your fault,” said Dimas calming.
“Yes, I'm aware of Dim. The one who killed Fani was that savage human, but I gave Fani the order to escort Gerry. And now, Fani has died while Gerry is not yet clear whether he is alive or dead. This case is getting dizzy and stacked.
Imagine that! Jenny's case has not been solved, Alma's case has emerged. Not to mention solved, suddenly startled by the news of Nayya's disappearance. Then, a young woman died in Black Village. And now, Fani, then Gerry. I'm worried, who's next?”
Dimas. He understood what Reno felt. He could only be silent because he could not come up with any solution.
Drr!
A message came in on Reno's phone. The killer sent a short message back.
“Again dizzy sir? Relax, it's all just the beginning. After this there will be a lot of blood spilled. I suggest never close your eyes or let your guard down. Because when you let your guard down, then there will be one life to die in vain!”
Reno reads the message, then shows it to Dimas. The two looked at each other seriously. Until now, they are still confused by the killer.
“We have to move fast, Ren!” whispered Dimas.
“I'm almost desperate. This was clearly different from the case of the old castle. The city is vast, and the killer can hide anywhere. Track repeatedly, but always fail. Innocent victims continue to fall. Really, I feel like a failure!” reno muttered.
“Don't say that, Ren. I'm sure we can solve this case.” Dimas tried to calm down.
Drrrt!
Suddenly Reno's phone rang again. A new message was sent by that murderous figure from the alternating numbers.
“You must be tired. Don't worry, I won't be easy to find. Don't sit with your chin up on the sidewalk like that, Mr. Police. Stand up, and face me excitedly!”
The message shocked Reno. He nodded from his seat. He showed the message to Dimas.
“He can see what we do! He's around this place!”
Reno looked around. That place is so quiet. He saw every tree standing, perhaps a figure hiding there. Before long, Reno ordered all the police to comb around the place.
“Comb around this place in a radius of one kilometer! No one is missed!” reno's orders.
Dimas also went down the tag. He stepped up to check the surroundings. The killer can watch his movements. He was sure, surely he was not far from the scene of this incident.
