Murder In The Old Castle
143. New Round
Rasty stood up from his seat while staring at his comrades. He felt like he was talking in front of them.
“We are facing something complicated. The killer's getting crazy. He killed many people who tried to stop him. After Jenny was killed, the murders happened in succession. We are all becoming his target. If we don't move, then we'll be the same fate as Jenny and Alma. I saw with my own head and my own eyes as Gerry was terrorized. The killer wrote something on the windshield of his car. And now, Gerry disappeared on the way home, even though he was escorted by the police.”
Rasty stopped talking for a moment while sighing. Alex looked impatient, many times he saw a watch that was coiled around his wrist.
“Go to the point only, Race! Don't have to beat around the bush! I still have a lot of schedule today!” grouch Alex.
“So we have to how, Ras?” keep Lena.
Rasty did not have time to answer, from another direction appeared Ferdy whose path was stuck near where they were sitting.
“I'm sorry I'm a little late. You know, I work. So can not go in and out at will,” said Ferdy.
“So we want to talk about what steps to take, because the killer is getting brutal.”
Adinda tried to explain to Ferdy. The young man was bearded. After breathing. Rasty continued his conversation.
“So gini Fer, the killer is getting reckless. He even dared to kill the police. Of course, this worries us all. It's not impossible that he's going after us, too. Gerry also disappeared last night, of course this will be difficult. I think we should do something to prevent the victims who continue to fall,” said Rasty.
“What can we do, Race? Didn't the police intervene to handle this?”chirping Miranti.
“You were right Mira. The police are investigating the case. But we know best about the problems that occur. I think if we all make a move, we can certainly uncover who the killer is. I think, if only we had a tactic, the killer would have cornered himself,”.
“Your judge we're all detectives, so?” rudi asked half in disbelief.
“You could say so. We need to work together to uncover the killer's identity. Can't resign. By the way, the police know we dumped Jenny's body in the lake. It could be that right now the police are watching our movements,” Rasty said.
“Wait For Race! Are you sure the killer isn't here with us now?” Lena interrupted the conversation.
Rasty shrugged his shoulders, staring at his friends one by one.
“Can be. It could be that the killer is one of us. Maybe right now the killer is laughing at our confusion. Or maybe even targeting one of us, I don't know! But I don't care. I'm here to warn you, whoever the killer is" Rasty said
“So what steps should we do now?” ask Adinda.
“Today I chatted with the police who once uncovered the Old Castle case. Looks like he has a plan to get us together somewhere. It's like a kind of isolation room, where we can interact with each other. Maybe they keep an eye on us for 24 hours. Just wait for a call from the police!” said Rasty.
“Crazy ah! We have a lot of activity. There is no way our dong is being restrained by that kayak!”rudi Protest.
“If I agree. Let everything be clear. Cape knows with conditions like this,” said Adinda.
“Police must have coordinated with the campus where we study. Obviously the campus will allow, because it concerns an investigation that carries the name of the educational institution. I'm sure, in the near future the police will call us,” said Rasty.
“Huh!” grunts Rudi.
While the others just remained silent. There may be rejections in them, but they are not directly indicated. If only what Rasty said was true, then it was certain that they would have to prepare everything immediately, as they would be isolated from the outside world for a while.
“Police is running out of ways! They have no other way to catch the killer!” Rudi was still grumbling.
“Your moves are meaningless, Rud. I think Adinda's right. If that's the best way to expose this serial murder drama, then I'm ready. I think that's a good idea, even if the police are going to charge a lot for this. They will bear all our accommodation while in this place of isolation,” added Rasty.
Rudi seemed unable to control his anger. He immediately left his friends. Meanwhile, everyone present could only be silent, unable to prevent the departure of Rudi who was being riled up.
“I have to say this so you're all ready,” Rasty said again.
“We understand. I hope that isolation is not long. Because if long then my study plan to Germany will be delayed,” Alex said with a sigh.
“Fuck your studies, Alex! There is more important than that!”
Lena started to growl. He also disagreed with the police plan.
“After this is all done, I swear I will take a vacation all the way from this city. Really, all this drives me crazy!”
Lena who also felt angry, passed from the presence of her friends. Nothing prevented the girl's departure.
Rasty sighed as he said, The new Sabbath is about to begin. Get ready you!”

Inside the quiet office, Reno was reading all the files related to the recent murder spree. The first file is Jenny's self-data. Jenny's complete biodata is written in a piece of paper, along with a photo of the size of a postcard.
In the photo, Jenny does look beautiful and seductive. No wonder so many men admire him. He could not understand why such a beautiful girl could die in such terrible circumstances. Reno regrets that.
Dimas suddenly entered his room with a serious face. He carried a small pink book. He put the book on the table.
“What book is this?”
“Daily book,” reply Short dimas.
“Daily book? It reminds me of the diary of Anastasia Pratiwi. So whose diary is this?” asked Reno enthusiastically.
“Owns Jenny Veronica. Jenny's grandmother called me, asking to take this diary, because she thought it might be useful for the investigation. According to Jenny's grandmother, the granddaughter was a little secretive before the murder. He handed this book to me,” Dimas said.
Reno picked up the book, flipping through its pages quickly. The diary page was filled with Jenny's writing that looked neat and beautiful, with colorful markers.
“Are we going to find an epic love story in this diary?” ask Reno.
“Entahlah. I haven't even opened it yet. But, there is at least a little info that we get from these records.”
“12 August, I met him at Cafe Alamanda. His sharp eyes looked at me sharply. Why am I so upset like this? If I didn't belong to anyone else, I would have returned that look. Such beautiful words, right?” ask Reno.
“August? It was a few months before his death. Who do we mean - kira? What's Rudi?” ask Dimas curiously.
“Can be Rudi or someone else. But Rudi was still officially his girlfriend on the day of his death. He didn't mention a name at all here,” Reno said as she flipped through the pages of the book.
“Hmm. Why do I want to read that diary? It seems there is an interesting story in it,” said Dimas.
“We will read the romance story of this young drunk romance! Let's peel what's inside!”
