Murder In The Old Castle
188. Caught Wet

Slowly, Badi came out from under the bed. Time has shown nine o'clock more than a few minutes. The atmosphere in the room seemed empty. Badi could not confirm who the owner of this room was, which was clearly a man's room. This can be seen from a few pants and a shirt hanging behind the door. Badi was not sure if this room was the room occupied by the person he was looking for. For that, he intended to go out to see the circumstances outside, who knew there was other information more clearly.

Soon he opened the door, but unfortunately it was locked from the outside. Suddenly he was upset. Although he brought equipment to break the door lock, but it was very time-consuming. Who knows the occupants of the house will return soon, then he will be caught in the room. Badi didn't want to take such a risk. He had to find another way to get out of this room.

What he saw in the room was a glass window connected to the side courtyard. There was no other choice but to jump out of that window, rather than having to break the room key. Fortunately, the window could be opened easily, so he could jump from it.

Now Badi is in the side yard. He was upset because he was outside again. He had to find a way to get back into the house, mumpung all the residents were somewhere else. He moved back to the backyard. Seen in the distance there, Ms. Mariyati was drying clothes. Apparently the middle-aged woman was washing the clothes of the residents of the house, so that the clothes were dried quite a lot. Of course he didn't realize that anyone was sneaking around in the house.

He did not want to waste the opportunity, immediately he slipped back into the house, directly to the men's room area on the first floor. He tried to open the door one by one, but all the rooms were locked. Badi can only curse, but he wants to know where the killer figure sleeps, so he can bend it quickly.

As Badi tried to open the door of the room at the end of the hallway, suddenly someone rebuked him loudly.

“Hey! Who are you!”

Badi surprised. He did not expect that in the house there was still someone who survived. Badi saw a man wearing a hat looking sharply at him. Badi felt a little nervous, but for a while he could master his nervousness. He did not rebuke the man in the hat. Instead, he prepared to take a thousand steps from that place.

“Don't try running! You can't escape from this house. All access is closed!” said the man in the hat who was none other than Wandi.

He did not participate in the service work in the back area, and chose to stay indoors. While Gilda chooses to join the service on the ridiculous grounds, that she feels safer near Dimas than Wandi!

Badi realized that running is useless. He decided to negotiate with Wandi.

“Wait .. wait! I have no evil intentions. I'm here to find someone,” said Badi.

“Searching someone? It's obvious you're going to open the door by force, and you said you're going to find someone. If you're looking for someone, you can ask. That's not how it works. It is certain, surely you have bad intentions!” wandi.

He does not believe just like Badi's words.

“I'm looking for someone who is being isolated here!” firmly Badi.

“You better ask Mr. Dimas directly. You can't go anywhere until Mr. Dimas gets home. I'll hold you back temporarily!”

Wandi stepped closer towards Badi. The rogue man thought, if Wandi interfered in his affairs, then it could be the plan would fall apart. Half-running he advanced near Wandi and ...

Duuk!

“Aduh!”

Unexpectedly by Wandi, Badi suddenly slapped a punch on his chin with a quick movement. It wasn't hard enough, but anyway the blow caused her jawbone pain. He walked back a few steps.

Badi did not attack again, but fled to the living room. Unfortunately the living room door was locked, so Badi ran towards the stairs. He went up to the second floor, in the girls' room area.

“Hey don't run!”

But Wandi could only scream. He was about to chase Badi towards the stairs, but his jaw was still painful. He could only stand under the stairs.

“You will not escape! There is no way out there!” wandi.

The figure of Badi himself had disappeared from sight. This time, Badi was on the second floor trying to find a safe hiding place. All the girls' rooms on the second floor are locked. He decided to go to the balcony. On the balcony, he looked down quite high. Apparently it's quite difficult to get off the balcony to the bottom. The terrain was very difficult, there was hardly anything to hold on to.

As he thought about escaping from the balcony, suddenly the sound of the door closing.

A sreek! Click!

The balcony door in the form of a sliding door was suddenly closed and locked by Wandi. He felt happy because the person he was chasing was now trapped in the balcony. While Badi himself can only be on the balcony, do not dare to pass or jump from the fence. The terrace down there is still very high. If he is desperate to plunge, then the foot is sure to be seriously injured.

“You're not going anywhere! I won't let you go until Mr. Dimas comes. So just enjoy your stay at your new home!” said Wandi while satisfied.

“Sial!”

The residents of the isolation house stepped carefully along the slightly muddy path due to the rain. Meanwhile, knee-high grass grass grows check on the right-left of the road. They headed for the area around the cemetery that there are many old wells. Mr. Paiman led directly, because he understood the area around the isolation house.

A hole they first encountered while walking for some time. The diameter of the hole was about one and a half meters, quite narrow. The depth of the well is also quite deep, about eight or ten meters. It can be ascertained, if the person who fell into this well, it will experience a foot injury that is quite severe.

Soon the men put up a wooden signpost that says ‘Awas Old Well!’. First they dig the ground, then stick the signpost in such a position, so that the writing can be read clearly by anyone who passes around there.

“Who the hell is a person who is not working to make these holes so much? Make people bother!” lamented Gilda.

“According to the story, this hole has existed for a long time, even decades, since the Japanese era because it was used as a hiding bunker. No wonder the number is quite a lot,” Ferdy explained.

“Where did you get that story?” ask Gilda curiously.

“Pak Paiman will ever tell you,” said Ferdy.

No one really cared about Gilda, because she was always complaining and nagging along the way. He complained a lot about the muddy road, about the thorns of plants attached to his clothes, even he complained about red ants suddenly biting his feet. The most irritating as he commented about the scorching sun that started burning his skin. Whatever was in front of his eyes seemed wrong. That's what makes no one want to be close to him, except Ferdy.

“It should be a place like this should be closed completely, so as not to harm anyone. Everything is not preserved here. There might be wild animals here. Just look at it later! I will cover this place, so that people know how dangerous the area around here is!” nagel Gilda.

“Gilda! If you don't shut up, you go back home. There is no one here who currently likes to hear your useless babble. So you better shut up!” reprimand Dimas.

Gilda simply snorted, enduring her frustration. He saw, the men went back to work installing the signs, when they found a new hole. Of course, this activity is quite tiring, although it seems trivial. The girls prepare drinking water for the men. They carry bottles of mineral water in backpacks.

“There is thirst?” Rasty offers his male friends who have started to sweat.

“I!” gilda's chirping that runs the very back.

Rasty. Apparently he was also upset to see the behavior of the woman. Unfortunately, he could not refuse Gilda's request, because after all this drinking water was intended for everyone. He poured a mineral bottle into a plastic glass and then thrust it into Gilda.

“Thank you, Rasty! I'll invite you sometime in the television show I'm guiding, and you can tell me about your interesting experience. How?” tawar Gilda's.

“Sorry, I'm not ready!” rasty replied firmly.

Rasty no longer spoke of Gilda. He didn't really care about Gilda's question. According to Rasty, there was no point in him explaining the reason to Gilda. He prefers to be quiet.

An hour later, after they managed to put up a few signs, they decided to take a short break to recover the power. They chose a thick grassy place, in the shade of a large tree with thick leaves. The breeze was blowing slowly, caressing their hair. Young people try to unwind while wetting a dry throat.

Lena took out three bottles of one-liter drink from the bag, then poured one of the bottles into a plastic glass. He thrust the glass to Rudi who looked tired, while fanning his body wet with sweat.

“Drink first, Rud!” said Lena.

“Thank you!”

Rudi received Lena's glass, then drank slowly. Not long after, something strange happened. Rudi's gaze turned twitched. Not a thirst that was treated, he coughed violently after drinking the water given by Lena.

“Rud ... You why?” asked Lena worriedly.

Rudi could not answer. He could only cough. Lena was confused and panicked by what happened to Rudi. It seemed like Rudi wanted to say something, but his tongue was as if it was a joke. He could only cough.

“Rud! You why? Please!” I screamed Lena in panic.

All who heard Lena's screeches immediately scattered towards Rudi who was lying limp in the grass. He no longer coughed, but Rudi's mouth made foam!
