Murder In The Old Castle
215. You're Late!

Anita was only resigned when the familiar figure suddenly pulled out a red handkerchief from behind her pants pocket. Then quickly the figure tied a handkerchief covering Anita's eyes, so that the girl could not see around.

“What do you want to do?” anita asked with fear.

The world around Anita now looks dark, as her gaze is covered by a handkerchief. He only heard things moving around him, including the steps of the figure walking around the hut. In addition, he quite clearly heard the sound of plantation insects screaming piercing the heart. Anita's feelings grew increasingly violent. He's sure, maybe he won't make it tonight. He can only hope and pray in his heart, so that he can get through it all.

“You must die tonight too, Anita!”

“I don't want to die. Please! Why did you do that to me? What's my fault?” crying Anita.

“Do not pretend to be the innocent and innocent girl Anita. I know your guise. You pretended to approach Mr. Daniel because you wanted a fortune from him. Well, now that I grant you that wish, Enjoy this durian garden until the end of your life!”

“You ... You're crazy! I don't mean anything like that. I just .... “

“Enough! Free you reason, Anita! Everyone knows that you are Daniel Prawira's favorite star. Now the old man is dead. Now it's your turn, and then there's someone else who'll catch up with you! This will be a very epic story, when the director dies with his favorite person hahaha!"

Anita was silent. It seemed that right now all he could do was shut up. The figure was already dark in the eyes and did not want to hear any explanation from him.

Sayup-sayup from a distance heard the sound of the roar of police car sirens. The figure looked nervous. He hastened his work. The plan will fail miserably if the police make it to this place.

“Tolooong!” anita shouted in her fear.

“Shut! Shutup! They won't be able to help you!” the figure's orders.

“Tolooong! Toloong!”

The order was ignored. Anita doesn't care. Whatever he did to get out of this place. He knew that he might not survive, but at least he would try his hardest. The figure became furious hearing Anita's scream. He threw a punch at the girl's temple.

Plaac!

“Stupid girl! Didn't I tell you to shut up?”

Plaaac!

Again a blow to the temple. The girl grimaced in pain, then fell silent. That heavy blow made his consciousness disappear. That figure is getting louder.

He was stringing a rope in the hut, then he tied it to the body and neck of Anita who was still unconscious.

While her eyes were still closed, Anita's body was dragged by force with a rope. The young girl felt pain in her body, but she could do nothing. He could see absolutely nothing around him. He only sensed that the figure was taking him some distance away from the hut to a location that had many trees and grass.

The figure tied the rope to a large durian tree that grew towering tall. It seemed like he mastered the rope-treading technique well, and the pulley technique.however, he could pull one's body easily up a tree. He did it quickly and almost without error. The figure is very master of defense science in nature very well.

Anita felt the rope throttling her neck, but she could do nothing. Slowly, he felt his body lift upwards. He could not scream or say anything more. His neck was strangled by a rope tied around his neck. Before his body was raised high, he felt the figure stuffing a round, crumpled piece of paper into his mouth.

“Aarggh .... “

He's suffocating. His breathing seemed to stop, he only felt pain and pain. Tears flowed warmly down the cheeks.His body was now hanging on a branch of a durian tree. His legs were flailing for any footing, but he only felt empty air. He felt the world around him getting darker. His body fluttered, and a few minutes later he could feel nothing more. His body was still motionless, but still swayed as it hung on the branches of the durian tree.

The figure looked at those terrifying seconds with a satisfied smile. While the roar of police car sirens is getting clearer. He looked away, it was time he left that place. He immediately cleared the evidence of crime or anything that might be used as evidence. He doesn't want to get caught just like that. He left Anita's car parked in front of the cottage. Before he actually left, he wrote a large inscription on the wall of the cottage using chalk. He hoped the police would read the writing. After all was done, he slipped away through the dark durian plantation. He immediately left the place.

The goal is a highway, maybe he will ride a car or take a taxi online. However, in this night conditions there may be no taxis or vehicles passing. He continued to walk through the garden. For a while, he had to stay off the highway. There was no way the police would let him leave just like that. he had to stay as far away from the cottage as possible.

In the darkness of the night, he kept walking, no matter how tired his feet and pricked by the spiny plants that grew in the vast durian garden

Suddenly his ears heard the sound of running water. He thought he was close to the river. He was looking for the sound of water. Indeed, not far in front of him flows a small river that is not so wide. He thought he had to cross the river.

Police cars hunting for the silver sedan stopped by a highway because they lost track. Some policemen went down, highlighting flashlights towards the dark plantation. Reno has also reached the place, then followed by Niken who came later.

“We go inside only partially, while some cars keep guard around this road!” reno's orders.

“I'll be coming in!” said Niken.

“Yes, you're in my car. We're going to get into that durian garden. Looks like these car tire tracks are indeed leading into the garden. Hopefully we can find the clues there!” reno.

All immediately agreed to Reno's orders. Some police remained vigilant at the entrance of the garden, which is a walkway. While the three cars entered the garden area, including cars driven by Reno and Niken.

Before they entered the garden, Reno's flashlight panned toward a weathered wooden signpost that read ‘Kebun Belikan Daniel Prawira’. He was surprised. Now he's increasingly convinced that the car they're after must have gone inside, because maybe this is still related to the previous case, the murder of Daniel Prawira.

“Quick! We have to enter this garden!” reno's orders.

Three cars drove straight through the dark plantation through a small path that was still in the form of land.

The siren is turned off, so it does not make a noise. They can't wait to find the hunted silver sedan.

After penetrating the plantation for some time, not far in front of them saw an old wooden hut and a silver car. Reno and Niken who were at the front immediately stopped the car a bit away from it.

“We park here only, and we know what's inside the cabin. It looks like it was Anita's car. The plate is not so visible from here, but it looks like it is indeed Anita's car,” Reno said.

“Yes, right Sir! It was Anita's car. I know the car very well,” whispered Niken.

Two other cars that were behind the Reno also stopped. Some stood guard around the car, and some followed Reno staking out the situation inside the hut. The atmosphere was dark and quiet, Reno settles close to the cottage. From behind the bushes, Reno hinted to be silent, while watching the surroundings. There was no sign of life in the cabin.

Reno prepares a weapon, approaches Anita's car, then opens the door slowly, while pointing a gun into the car. Unfortunately, the car was empty too. There's no one there. Reno orders his men to spread out, besieging the hut. After they scattered all over, slowly they approached.

Niken felt an incredible tension. He felt his heart beat faster. As he entered the courtyard of the cottage filled with piles of used items, he felt like there was an evil aura. Reno rode into the little hut, but got nothing. He pointed the flashlight around the cottage to make sure.

“In here there is no one! Where did they go?” reno muttered.

“I think even if they go not far away, sir. The car engine is still hot. Of course they just arrived at this place and are somewhere,” said Niken.

“It seems unlikely that they are getting into the dark garden. To my knowledge, this garden will penetrate the city forest and warehousing complex on the edge of the city. However, of course the terrain will be difficult to take, especially on a dark night like this. I guess they're not far from this place. They seem to know that the police are coming here, and maybe they are currently watching us.” Reno said.

“But ... but where are they?”

Reno's eyes caught a large inscription on a wooden wall written in chalk.

YOU’RE LATE!

“Gosh! We have to find Anita soon!” reno.

Niken stared around with a look of despair. All that is visible is the trees with durian fruit hanging.

However, suddenly a police officer runs in a hurry to get close to Reno and Niken. The parasites looked pale, like seeing a ghost.

“What's up?” ask Reno.

“Wire, Sir! Nawat!” the police said in panic.

“Quiet! Cool out! What's up?” ask Reno.

The policeman pointed to the back of the house without saying anything. Reno and Niken felt something was wrong. They immediately ran to the back of the hut to ascertain what was really going on. A shocking sight was in plain sight. They saw the body of a young girl hanging on a branch of a durian tree with eyes covered in red handkerchiefs and a mouth covered in paper!
