Murder In The Old Castle
200. Pursuit
Raymond drove the car towards the outskirts of town quickly. Arland who became a guide, repeatedly directed. Raymond looked riled up, many times he had to step on the brakes for almost crashing into another vehicle.
“Propay, Bang! Don't let us wretch first,” scolded Nayya.
The girl felt anxious, as Raymond was driving beyond normal limits. Arland suddenly pointed forward, to a fairly quiet road, with hilly contours.
“The isolation house is not far away anymore. Maybe a kilo up ahead. Slow down, Bang!”
Arland. Raymond slowed the car down, while watching the surroundings. All that is visible is a row of hills and gardens, there are no houses.
“It! There's a car up ahead. That must be a police car. We park behind him, Bang!” arland.
A few hundred meters ahead, they saw a car parked by the side of the road. Raymond was about to park the car a few hundred meters behind the car, but suddenly they saw someone coming out of a small street in a hurry, pulling a girl. It is certain that the figure is Ferdy who is holding Adinda hostage. They seemed to rush into a car.
“See ... view! Isn't that the killer figure of Dance we're looking for?” ask Arland.
“Iya right! That was him. He's holding a girl hostage. Where the hell is he going? Arland, you go down and you find Badi, I will tail the man,” Raymond said.
“Good, Bang!” answer Arland.
Raymond pulled the car not far behind the car that Ferdy and Adinda were about to board. After Ferdy and Adinda got in the car, they drove away from the place. Arland immediately went down, then Badi was about to chase the car. However, suddenly Reno was also present at that place. He stopped Raymond's car immediately. His steps were so rushed, while grasping a gun.
“Wait .. wait! I'm police! Quickly follow that car!” reno's orders.
Not wasting time, Raymond immediately opened the car door, allowing the police to participate in the pursuit of the car that was carrying Ferdy. Reno is shocked, as he finds Raymond and Nayya in the car he is about to ride in. He did not expect that Nayya was still alive, and at this time the girl was with Raymond.
“You ...?” ask Reno.
“Later to tell me, Sir! We focus on chasing that car first!” said Raymond.
The two cars drove each other chasing towards the outside of the city whose road conditions were rather quiet. Not many cars passed, so the two cars were more freely controlling the streets. The further out of town, the worse the road conditions. Sometimes there are sharp corners with a gap on the right-left side, so inevitably, they have to reduce speed.

Arland had arrived at the isolation house whose gate was unlocked. He immediately went into the side yard, looking around, just in case he found someone or Badi's figure there. While the residents of the isolation house still look shocked by the incident that just happened. Rasty and Lena were still sitting quietly without a word, while Alex was also standing by the window. Gerry stood up without a sound. The person he thought was family, turned out to be the enemy in the blanket.
“I didn't expect at all,” murmured Alex softly.
“Well, I'm sad that Ferdy is like that, but that's the price he deserves,”.
Meanwhile, Dimas and Pak Paiman, aided by Wandi, immediately went to the warehouse to look for Gilda's whereabouts. They stood in front of the door of the warehouse which was still in a state of being padlocked.
“We must forcibly open this padlock, Sir!” said Dimas.
“Good, Sir. We can wear a crowbar!”
Mr. Paiman is moving. They immediately forced open the door of the locked warehouse. A little troubled, because it is a big padlock. A few minutes later, the padlock slipped off its hinges. Their barn door opened, and the male and female figures were bound in a state of motionless weakness.
“Gosh!”
Dimas, Wandi, and Mr. Paiman immediately untied. Dimas checks if Badi and Gilda are still alive. It seemed like they were running out of energy, thus becoming limp. Dimas checks the pulse around the neck.
“They are alive!” said Dimas.
Arland who had arrived at that place, was very surprised to see the state of Badi.
“Gosh! Badie ... A ladie! What happened?” asked Arland in a panic.
Dimas just mumbled a little,” We did not know if there is a Badi in this house.”
Badi and Gilda immediately got first aid. They brought into the house, then Bu Mariyati sprinkled tears into their eyes to immediately wake up. Badi who first opened his eyes, found many people around him. He's surprised.
“I ... am I dead?” ask Badi.
“No, Badi! You're still alive. It's me Arland!” arland was also present there.
“Arland?”
Meanwhile, Gilda had also begun to wake up, but her condition was still weak. He still refused to say a word. The staging in the warehouse had left him devastated. He thought he was dead.
Paramedic assistance arrived thirty minutes later. Badi and Gilda were immediately transferred into an ambulance for more intensive treatment. Wandi and Arland accompanied them to the hospital. Meanwhile, Dimas remained in the isolation house, to keep the atmosphere conducive.

In Ferdy's car, Adinda sits quietly next to the psychopathic man driving next to her. He stared straight ahead as Ferdy drove at high speed.
“Why, Fer? Why did you do that to me?” ask Adinda weakly.
In his deepest heart, he actually loved Ferdy very much. He regretted when Fedry was not the figure he expected. His angelic temperament seemed to have turned into an extremely ferocious demon. Ferdy seemed to be concentrating on driving.
“Quiet, Din! Cool out! Once we get away, I promise to marry you, and we'll run away from this town. I promise you, I'll start over with you. You're ready, right?” ask Ferdy.
“Didn't you say you never liked me?”
“I don't mean it, Adinda. You know I love you so much!”
“No! You say the same thing to Jenny, Alma, and the others, after which you finish them off as well. I don't want to be your next victim, Fer. You better just give up, Fer. It's much better than running away like this. Stop this car, and give up!” pinta Adinda's.
“No! I'd rather die than give myself up to them!” snapped Ferdy.
“I'll stop you, Fer!”
Suddenly Adinda attacks Ferdy, so Ferdy loses his driving concentration. The car is now zigzagging on the highway, while making a squeaking sound because Ferdy has to step on the brakes. They were crossing a gulfed area.
“You don't go crazy, Dinda! We can die!” screech Ferdy while continuing to drive, and avoid Adinda's attack.
“I don't care! Let us die!” said Adinda.
“You're crazy! I don't want to die! Aaah ..!”
The car suddenly rolled to the left side, hitting the road divider. Their car mired into a fairly steep slope with a slope of about fifty degrees. Ferdy can't control the car anymore. The car kept sliding down at high speed!
