Murder In The Old Castle
197. Analyzers
Everyone was waiting for Reno and Dimas in the living room with mixed feelings. Adinda sat next to Ferdy, feeling tense. She squeezes her fingers to reduce tension. While Ferdy who sat next to him spontaneously grasped Adinda's fingers, smiling at the girl.
“All will be well,” whispered Ferdy.
Little smiling sister. In another part, Rasty was also waiting with a curious face. He was grateful that his name had been removed from the list of suspects. However, he was really looking forward to the moment this time. He wondered, who was really behind all this chaos?
Next to Rasty, there was Lena whose face was no less tense. She rubbed her pretty face with a tissue. A sweat thread began to wet the forehead. In times of tension like this, he felt like urinating. However, the arrest of that taste. He waited for the police to appear worriedly.
While on the other hand there Alex looks not too tense, but it is not said to be relaxed. He just kept silent while frowning, as if something heavy was weighing on his mind. He rubbed his beard many times, sighing.
Mr. Paiman and Ms. Mariyati sat somewhat apart from the suspects, as did Wandi. Although they have no involvement in the case, they are excited to hear the two police's explanation to uncover a case that unsettles the city's residents.
Reno and Dimas took their place on a long sofa that had already been prepared for them. Before they revealed the facts, they smiled first. The residents are getting tense.
“Sorry if we keep you waiting. As we promised yesterday, today we will try to solve the puzzle we have been looking for answers. I know, you're all looking forward to this. Yes, we can't wait to tell you who the real culprit is. However, we deliberately buy time to strengthen the evidence we have, so that the perpetrator can not be evaded when we are charged. Frankly, we think this case is quite time and energy consuming. However, in any case, we must complete this,” explained Reno.
“Ya true. At the moment there are some casualties. May their souls be at ease, for now the name of their murderer is already with us. We will uncover the facts from the beginning rolling up to this second. Please, maybe Mr Reno can convey?” fresh Dimas.
“I guess you said it, Dim. Later I will add,” Reno said.
“Good. I will tell you the facts first. As we know, this case originated from the discovery of the corpse of a girl named Jenny Veronica by two anglers on a lake. Jenny's body is already damaged, because the discovery is a long time from the time of the murder incident. We identified the body, and we confirmed that Jenny died unconscious because we found a toxic compound in her stomach. And it can also be ascertained that Jenny is pregnant. At first we thought the motive for this murder was revenge and romance. It turns out that over time, the motive of this case is not just romance, but there is a separate motive that is harbored by the perpetrator,” said Dimas while sighing.
All of the residents were still listening enthusiastically, without making a sound. They were really impatient to hear Dimas' explanation. Their paras already look restless.
“I continue back. Any water?” ask Dimas.
Ms. Mariyati immediately bleached a glass of water to Dimas. Before the policeman drank it, he looked carefully at the water, smiling.
“Safe from poison right, Bu?” ask Dimas.
“Oh, past safe, sir! I poured it myself,” said Bu Mariyati.
After Dimas drank the water, he resumed his explanation.
“The second murder case is Alma. The girl was killed when her head was hit in a car in the hospital's underground parking lot while she was taking her mother to medical treatment. I imagine how cruel this killer is. He committed every murder without feeling. Even he could have killed someone else who had nothing to do with him. We confirm that Tari, a woman who died in Kampung Hitam was killed by the same person. Eyewitnesses said that someone entered the house before the woman was killed.
All are still anxious to hear the words of Dimas.
“Which we know, it turns out Alma did have an affair with a person close to Gerry himself. Then we'll move on to the Nayya abduction case. We also browsed through social media and the history of this girl. It turns out that Nayya and this killer knew a long time ago. They were involved in the relationship even before Nayya went to college, but Nayya did not really like the figure who said this temperament. He rejected this figure, and after that even became the same Rudi. This ignited the flames of vengeance that were once again blazing. That is why Rudi became one of the targets of the assassination, as well as Nayya. Only until now Nayya is still not clear whereabouts, due to the last fact we got, Nayya was held captive in an apartment. We checked the apartment in question, but the apartment was empty. When we checked the name of the apartment tenant, it turned out that the apartment was rented on behalf of Gerry, even though Gerry himself did not know. Reports say that Gerry's watch is missing, and we found it at the scene of the death of Alma,” Dimas said.
“We then also took the initiative to check the past of all of you. There is something interesting here, which is that we found out that one of you is someone who can cut meat easily. Maybe the legacy of the parents. That is why, he can slaughter a dog with neat pieces. We found an awkward family tree. Maybe not strong evidence, but we still make it a consideration. For Miranti's murder, we are also aware that Miranti was killed because she was in the wrong place, as was Fani, our colleague who was killed while escorting Gerry,”
“We also revealed the fact that this killer figure had a not so good childhood. He is not cheerful like other children, has a gloomy face, is vindictive, and likes to torture animals. We got that information from your teacher when you were kindergarten. Miss Delia, you remember that, right? That's why he was so willing to kill dogs and poison Agung, the cat Bu Mariyati,” Reno continued
Ms. Mariyati looked teary-eyed at Reno's explanation. He loves his cats with all his heart.
“Then we looked for facts about the white car that the figure used to do evil. After we searched, it turned out that the white car was a rental car. Yeah, he used a girl to rent a white car using Jenny's fake data. We've been bagging this girl's data. We recognize from the jacket he was wearing it turned out to be the logo where he worked. His face was a little different, as he used fake hair.
Then turning to the poison used to poison Rudi, it turns out the same type of poison as the poison in Jenny's body. We've traced the poison, and certainly not an indiscriminate person can get that type of poison. We've recorded the origin of the poison.”
Reno sighed for a while, seeing the change in the level of all the residents there. They can't wait for the next explanation.
“Please continue, Dimas!” said Reno.
“Good. The figure of the perpetrator of this murder we admit is smart, clever camouflage, and of course has a high appeal. His first victim was Jenny, who died pregnant, apparently had a relationship with him. Then Alma too, and then Nayya. It all ended horribly. It is like a predator that does not hesitate to finish off its prey,” said Dimas.
“Then referring to the results of the investigation, witness testimony, and applicable facts, then we make sure the perpetrator of all this is ...”
Reno paused the sentence for a moment, because Dimas cut the conversation.
“Wait! Later we will give this perpetrator a chance to refute our accusations,” Dimas cut.
“Yes, of course! He can also argue in court later,” Reno said.
All the more curious, waiting for an explanation from these two policemen, although some of them have also concluded a name.
