Murder In The Old Castle
183. Revealing Facts

That afternoon, what the police promised was a reality. The residents of the isolation house got a home theater set, a billiard table, and a portable fitness gym. Of course, it was welcomed happily by the inhabitants of the isolation house. They can't wait to use the facilities provided by the police. They had been waiting for entertainment facilities like this. Even when they are in college, they rarely enjoy entertainment because of the busyness of college. This is an opportunity to pamper yourself.

Even so, there are still negative comments from residents of isolation houses.

“I think it is useless entertainment facilities like this if the police do not increase our security here. Precisely such burials will allow us to remain vigilant. A lot of fun makes us forget that there is a killer around us,” said Alex.

Of all the residents, only Alex looks not so happy with the new facilities provided by the police. It just snorted. The parasites looked cold without showing any reaction.

“You don't have to bacot a lot! If you don't like it, don't want to. Mending you crouch in the room,” said Rudi responded to Alex's words.

Rudi was apparently still offended by Alex's words at lunch. He still held some discomfort in his heart. Alex just sighed, then rushed into the room. He did not join his friends who had started to try the entertainment facilities.

In the living room, Lena and Rasty choose to watch a hit movie and it just got in theaters. For a long time they did not enjoy sitting back and enjoying the movie. Daily busy with college assignments, making them forget how to make themselves happy. They choose romantic drama movies that make their feelings flowery. The two of them were so thoroughly enjoying scene after scene.

While Rudi tried a new fitness tool with a feeling of excitement. Rudi is used to sports. It feels like this fitness tool is the right tool to process his muscles that have not been moved long.

“This is the name steady! Not a chessboard!” chirps Rudi.

While the pool table is installed in one of the rooms, it has been tried by Ferdy and Adinda. Although Adinda is not so able to play the pool, but she likes to see Ferdy play it.

“You're a jago too ya play bilyard? Play this often?” ask Adinda.

“Ngak. You know, I rarely go out at night because I'm busy working. I just try it this way, and it turns out playing the pool is quite fun, especially if someone accompanies like you,” woo Ferdy on Adinda.

“Gombal!”

Adinda blushed hearing Ferdy's words. Even though he knew it was just seduction, somehow he felt happy being seduced like that. On the deepest side, actually he still doubted how Ferdy felt to himself actually, because as long as he knew, Ferdy was close to some pretty girls. In fact, Gilda seemed interested in Ferdy. That's what makes you a little jealous.

“You want to mancoba?” bargain Ferdy while giving steak to Adinda. The girl just shook her head.

“No, I can't play. But I like to see you play,” Adinda said.

“I can't play if you keep looking at me like that,” Ferdy said with a meaningful smile.

“So you don't like me here?” ask Adinda.

“Eh .. not like that. I mean .. I'm so embarrassed that you saw me play. I'm not good at playing the billiards. So lack of confidence,” replied Ferdy.

“Do I need to call Gilda to accompany?” fishing Pants Adinda.

Ferdy smiled and shook his head.

“Do not start. You know, Gilda's a few years older than me. I have absolutely no thoughts of him. We have been a little familiar since he invited me on the TV show he was directing. That's all that is. There is no more relationship between us,” Ferdy said.

“What about your coworker who has a crush on you? You guys still keep in touch?” ask Adinda full of search.

Ferdy started to feel uncomfortable hearing Adinda's blind questions like that. He knows that Adinda is jealous. It became lost the mood to play the bilyard. He placed the stick on the pool table, then he chose to leave Adinda alone. He was lazy to respond to the girl's words.

“Ferdy!”

Adinda is getting angry. He felt ignored so easily that following Ferdy's step that left him. Ferdy was in the side garden, avoiding Adinda. But the girl was still following.

“Sorry Gilda, I'm getting uncomfortable with your questions. Yes, I was close to some girls. But that doesn't mean dating them all, or even screwing. So I hope you can understand that. You know, right now I like you, but you're overreacting, and that makes me uncomfortable.” Ferdy said.

“Fer .. I'm sorry, I just .... “

“Ah, stop!”

My sister suddenly felt guilty. He regretted asking Ferdy sensitive things. Ferdy dismissed his apology. He could only be speechless to see the young man walk away.

Dimas had contacted Gilda's phone number many times, but it seemed inactive. He wanted to ask the certainty of the talk show he guided. Dimas begins to get upset, but then he poults with a somewhat different Gilda character. He thought Gilda had indeed canceled the talk show. Since there were no activities, that night he intended to spend some time outside, before tomorrow morning he had to replace Reno for duty.

After passing through a heavily guarded housing gate, Dimas was allowed inside the elite housing complex where Gerry lived. He soon headed for Gerry's luxurious home. The house looked lonely, as there was only a housekeeper who was inhabiting. The housekeeper was surprised by Dimas' presence. However, as he finds out that Dimas is a police officer, he allows Dimas to examine the contents of Gerry's house, even when Dimas requests permission to check Gerry's room, the housekeeper allows.

"Please, Sir. I can't refuse" said the housekeeper.

Dimas immediately went into Gerry's private bedroom which looked roomy. A luxurious bed was in the room. The conditions are very neat and fragrant, because the housekeeper cleans every day. In the room there is a TV and the latest model of gaming devices. Dimas thought, that this room was designed so that the occupants really feel comfortable.

He checked the drawer there. No interesting item, except a box of kond*om that has been used partially. Dimas smiled a little. There is also a photo of Alma in the drawer. Not surprisingly, Dimas, Gerry and Alma were in a relationship before the beautiful girl was killed.

On the walls of the room many hanging photos of Gerry as a child, with his father and mother. Gerry looked very different when he was a kid. He looks so cute and adorable. Even so, he didn't see Ferdy's photo here. Because, according to Bu Delia, Ferdy was adopted by the Gerry family.

In a photo album he found in his wardrobe, Dimas found an old photo of Gerry attending Kindergarten. Back he found photos of Gerry's friends while in Kindergarten. The rest, nothing strange. However, he also found another photo of Alma in the photo album. Unfortunately, the girl's face looks doodled with red marker writing.

I Hate you! Why did you betray me for her?

Dimas was confused. Why is there such writing on Alma's face? Did Alma ever betray Gerry? The question ran through Dimas's mind. Who does ‘dia’ mean there? Does Alma's death have anything to do with all this?

Dimas was curious about the discovery of the photo. He is increasingly enthusiastic about finding information related to the relationship of Gerry and Alma. He was looking for other evidence that would corroborate. Some of the dolls in the room, it was written that the doll was meant for Alma.

Happy Birthday, Alma!

The sentence was clearly written on a card, but why was the doll in Gerry's room? Didn't Gerry give the dolls to Alma?

“It looks like I have to find information about Alma .... “

Dimas immediately completed his investigation in Gerry's room. Now he intends to go to Alma's residence to get to know the girl further. He glanced at his watch. Unfortunately it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Certainly not a good time to visit. Dimas sighed.

“Pak, coffee drunk,” said the housekeeper who suddenly appeared in the room.

“Oh, yes. Thank you!”

Dimas just smiled blandly. In honor, she immediately drank coffee made by the housekeeper. He sat in the guest chair and kept thinking.

“No word from Gerry, Mbak?” ask Dimas to the housekeeper.

“But Sir. I am sad too. Until now there has been no news from Mas Gerry,”, said the housekeeper sadly.

“If Ferdy is here often not?” ask Dimas.

“If Mas Ferdy sometimes just come here. But not been here lately.”

“If Alma?”

“Mbak Alma before he died often play here, even stay overnight. But since Mas Gerry was angry with Mbak Alma, Mbak Alma so rarely play here.”

“Murried? What's cause?” insist Dimas.

“Wah I also do not know anyway, sir. They dare not fight if they fight. But ... seems like it, about Mbak Alma who cheated on it. I also do not know the hell Sir,” said the housekeeper was timid.

“Check with whom?”

“Wah, I'm afraid of being wrong. Don't dare me, sir!”

“Tenak just Ma'am. It is important that this case be resolved immediately. So to the knowledge of his mother, who was Alma cheating with?”

“Ehm .. as far as I know the hell with .... “

The housekeeper was silent for a moment, while Dimas waited for his reply enthusiastically.
