Murder In The Old Castle
229. Morning Gossip
The cloud had been hanging since morning enveloping the city. The weather became rather cold, while the wind was blowing rather fiercely. Henry Tobing is agitated by a police report that there has been an attempted murder in his villa. He was called to be questioned about this.
By eight o'clock, he arrived at the police station with Rianti rather hastily. They went straight to Reno in her room. The police were apparently waiting for the husband and wife to arrive. Soon Reno allowed the two to sit down.
"Of course you know what this calling means .... "
Reno opens the conversation while offering Henry a photograph of Ollan. The actor looked confused looking at the photo of Ollan. Likewise Rianti. the woman looked surprised.
"How's Ollan doing, sir?" ask Henry.
"Ollan's doing fine right now, just a little shock from last night's incident. Well, we want to know how can Ollan be in your villa?" ask Reno.
Henry nodded quickly. He looked scared to hear Reno's question.
"We don't know either, sir. We even found out that something happened this morning. Indeed, all this time we left the villa key to Ollan. So even if he's resting there, we'll allow it. Because Ollan we've considered family ourselves. It's just that this incident was really surprising, when someone infiltrated the villa and tried to kill Ollan," said Henry.
"Does anyone else know the existence of the villa besides you?" ask Reno again.
"Certain ..of course. A lot of friends knew we had a villa there. Sometimes we have parties there, and sometimes ... Rianti had also used the arisan there."
Henry said as he looked towards Rianti. The woman immediately nodded, confirming. As a celebrity with a busy activity, sometimes Henry invited fellow celebrities to gather at his villa.
"Hmm, so that villa is indeed something foreign, isn't it?" ask Reno.
"I don't think, sir, everyone can access the villa easily, because there is no special fence to border it. It's just, I didn't expect that there would be any of these events" Henry said.
"If you may know, where is Ollan now sir? Is he in good shape? We are so worried about his situation? Can we see him?" ask Rianti blindly.
"Sorry, Miss Rianti. At the moment we are forced to not be able to tell Ollan's position to anyone. It's not that we don't trust you, but we're guarding against all possibilities. Because, who knows you forgot then accidentally told others about Ollan's whereabouts. It would be fatal as a result. We are sure that the killer will not remain silent to see Ollan alive. Surely he will still try to hunt him," Reno explained.
Rianti nodded in understanding. After a long conversation, the husband and wife were allowed to go home by Reno. The police still have no idea who actually infiltrated the villa. Previously he had contacted Dian, a friend of Ollan who knew of Ollan's whereabouts in the villa. Dian said that when Ollan informed her that she was at the villa, she was also gathering with other friends. He told his friends, without any intention. He also did not think that the information that brought it was fatal to Ollan's safety.
Reno has also tracked down anyone who might know that Ollan is in the villa, but there are no clues, most of them do not think that Ollan is in danger. The attempted assassination of Ollan in Henry's villa soon became warm among the artists. And also in the media. There was even one of the media who deliberately visited Henry's villa to hold special coverage.

Riky hurriedly took the elevator, then met Widya who was decorating a figure artist in the dressing room. Today the film studio is restarting activities to produce a feature film with a new director. The genre this time is a horror film, with the main star Renita Martin. No wonder, now the film studio looks more busy than usual.
Guntur is also believed to be back as a screenwriter. He was seen in serious discussions with several new crew and directors who were apparently young. A man in his 30s, with a dapper look. However, Riky judged that the new director looked arrogant. He refused to smile and say hello. Riky felt uncomfortable, as he was no longer appointed as an assistant director. He immediately turned his eyes to Widya.
"This new film is being produced?" ask Riky.
"Yes,Rik. It's the first day. That's why everyone is busy. I have to come by at 6 am to decorate the artists involved in this film. You came here this afternoon?" ask Widya.
"I'm a nobody. Same with you and Thunder. Plans after this I'll take chances elsewhere. I'mtired. Last night, I stayed up till night, couldn't sleep" Riky said.
"Yes, be honest! I just go around town enjoying the night air. You must have slept too, right? I want to take the road. And this morning ... Did you hear the exciting news?" ask Riky.
"Exciting news? What news?"
"A assassination attempt on Ollan. In the end, he ran out of trouble with Henry Tobing, and Ollan was fired. The night, Ollan was about to be killed. Who did it if it wasn't Henry Tobing, it must be him!" accuse Riky.
"Don't be prejudiced, Rik. You are like a cop. Police have not clarified anything about the attempted murder. But for a long time I was worried. Mr. Daniel, Anita, and now Ollan. oh serem .... "
Suddenly Renita went into the dressing room in an annoyed look. He threw himself on the couch.
"Would you shoot it, Mommy?" ask Widya.
"I'm angry with the new director. Just made two movies already. It seems like everything I do is wrong. I followed what was written in the scenario. Surprisingly, Thunder as well
follow-up to defend the new director!" renita.
"Patience, Ma'am. Maybe it still needs adaptation, he's new" said Widya calming.
"Have you heard the news this morning?" chirps Riky.
"What's the Ollan problem? Yes I'm denger. Males ngurusi. The woody guy was if talking was haphazard, so no wonder that many do not like him. I'm sorry if I talk to him myself. If it wasn't Henry's assistant, I'd slap him in front of a crowd!" groused Renita.
"Hmm, I'm so scared of you" Riky joked.
"Don't be afraid! I don't bite unless I'm bitten. Uh, but you guys with no hotter gossip. You know Laura Carmellita, right? In horror, he became the third person in the fractured relationship between Henry and Rianti. Well, lately Rianti is often angry because of Laura. Even Rianti himself told me that he did not like Laura at all," said Renita.
"Morning is gossip. Go ah!"
Riky passes from the dressing room, leaving Renita to tell her about the Henry-Rianti household. Riky was not interested in hearing the news that was not necessarily true. He quietly went to the toilet, took a photograph from his pocket. He watched and then he kissed deeply.
"Really, I'm not willing .." he muttered.
