Murder In The Old Castle
196. Preparation
The small house located in an alley in Kampung Hitam was always empty. Even in the morning, when many residents start activities, the door of the house remains closed as a sign that the residents do not want to receive visits from anyone. The alley in front of the house passed by some people who were about to go to make a living, but they forgot the existence of the small house. The building is only remembered when a young woman was stabbed to death inside.
Inside the house, Raymond paced back and forth in the front room, restlessly leaning his head against the window. His mind was not calm, because there had been no news from Badi. While there, there is also Arland who also looks anxious. He had explained the condition of the isolation house that Badi hunted to Raymond.
“Why hasn't there been any news from Badi so far? Usually if there's anything she calls me right away. You're sure that house was indeed the one used to isolate the suspects, Arland?” ask Raymond.
“Iya, Bang! Judging from the shape of the building is indeed a house that is suitable for isolation. We followed the cop, and it looks like he went inside the house. Unfortunately the gate was locked, so we broke into it. Badi told me to come back so as not to arouse suspicion. He said he would investigate the house alone. Badi said, he will contact if there is anything, or ask to be picked up home. It's Bang!” terang Arland's.
“But why has there been no news so far, Arland?” ask Raymond.
“That's it I don't know either. Maybe Badi is busy or how I don't know. Did you call his number?” ask Arland.
“Hundreds of times I dialed her number but it is not active. It makes me more confused and worried. Do not let Badi be the moons there. Anyway if until later tonight there is no news from him, then I will follow him there!” furious Raymond.
“Iya, Bang! Looks like you really have to go there to check for yourself. I suggest you night, Bang. Because if the night is dark, so we can infiltrate into unnoticed,” Arland suggested.
Raymond was just a mangosteen hearing Arland's description. He suddenly felt his phone shaking. He checked quickly. He looked excited to see his phone screen.
“Jeez, message from Badi!” said Raymond quickly.
“What's he saying, Bang?” ask Arland curious.
“Sebitar .... “
Raymond immediately opened some messages sent from Badi's mobile number. However, how surprised he was because it was not the message he saw, but some photos that made him stunned.
From some photos it looks Badi in a bound state of his feet and hands. Seen Badi helpless as fainted. While also seen the figure of a young woman who is none other than Gilda is also tied with Badi. The woman was also in a state almost the same as Badi, weak helpless.
“Bangs*att!!” as Raymond spoke for a moment.
“What's up, Bang?”
Arland was shocked to see Raymond turning up black like that.
“Antar me to that isolation house right now. Fast!” Raymond's orders.
“What's up, Bang? Is Badi okay?” ask Arland.
Raymond could not contain his anger. He said while pacing back and forth unsettled. Arland was also surprised to hear that. He did not expect that Badi would be caught in an isolation house. Worse, not the police who caught, but the figure of the killer they were hunting.
Without waiting for a long time, Arland immediately prepared a car to drive Raymond to the isolation house. Raymond was angry to see Badi being treated that way. This was as if it was disrespecting the reputation of Raymond Brothers. The Raymond Brothers principle is clear. They offered brotherhood. If one is hurt, the other moves to retaliate. The anger is getting bigger. He'll infiltrate the isolation house that day.
***
Reno comes to the isolation house right after breakfast. His arrival has been warmly welcomed by the residents of the isolation house. As promised earlier, Reno and Dimas will hold a meeting with the residents to conduct an analysis and disclosure of the perpetrators of the murder.
The first one he met was of course Dimas, while other residents had been asked to gather in the living room, including Mr. Paiman and Bu Mariyati. They waited for a discussion between Reno and Dimas inside the room in private before revealing all the facts to them. Mr. Paiman has locked all the doors and all the access out, to avoid any possibility that happened.
Reno rubbed her chin with a smile.
“He will not be able to evade. I brought a special guest without their knowledge. He'll show up at the right time. We'll snap him up soon without a fight. I'm sure it is!” reno.
“Good! We will reveal the facts we have gathered. We know that this killer is not an ordinary person, but has cunning and intelligence. But no crime is perfect, right?” ask Dimas.
“True. Oya, yesterday I took the time to stop by the hospital where Rudi was treated. The medics there have given me data on the type of poison used to poison drinking water. Rudi was lucky to be alive. The type of poison he uses is quite dangerous and does not circulate freely in the market,” said Reno.
“Thank God that Rudi is alive. We also lost Gilda last night and until now it has been unclear. Mr. Paiman and I have traveled all over the house, but have not found its existence. Just a warehouse we haven't checked out yet. Maybe after the disclosure we can check the warehouse,” said Dimas.
“Gilda? The killer began to search for victims at random. What does Gilda have to do with all this? Do you think that Gilda was captured by the killer, or did she accidentally disappear just to get your attention?” asked Reno while smilingly sneering towards Dimas
“Searching for my attention? That's right, Ren! If he's really just looking for my attention then I'll just let him. I think it was kind of weird when I found a pack of cigarettes in his room. My gut tells me there's someone else in this house. Wandi and Bu Mariyati said there were indeed intruders who satronized them. I don't know, until now the intruder has also not met,” said Dimas.
“Invouchers? Well, apparently this isolation house attracts outsiders to join here. All right, let's ignore that first. We will focus first on revealing these facts. I'm sure the killer hasn't been able to sleep since last night. He won't dodge anymore, because the evidence we brought is so strong!”
“Good, Ren! Our efforts are not in vain. Then let's meet them now in the living room. Don't let them wait too long. Let's see, who is the most agitated among them!” take Dimas up from his seat.
“I must have said the killer would not be nervous or agitated. He has no heart, so what we are dealing with right now is a cold-blooded killer who has no feelings,” Reno said.
“Alright! Let's start this show and we end this drama as soon as possible!”
