Murder In The Old Castle
251. Message Reno
The hour hand docked to four in the afternoon. At the cafe located in the city center, it is still crowded with visitors who want to enjoy the afternoon atmosphere or enjoy a delayed lunch. Reno sat at one of the tables while looking out, not caring about the crowd. He had finished a cup of coffee that was not so sweet. It feels a little bored waiting for the presence of Henry and Rianti who have promised to come to the Cafe this afternoon.
Ten minutes later, Henry arrived at the cafe with a slight stir. After dropping Ollan at home, he rushed to the Alamanda Cafe. It's not hard to find Reno, because she's the only one sitting alone in the cafe. All cafe visitors come with their respective partners, or crowded with friends.
"Sorry sir, I'm a little late" Henry said, taking his place in front of Reno.
"Busy?" ask Reno.
"Yes slightly. There is work I have to finish. But it's all done. By the way tumben Pak Reno ngajakin meet at Cafe. What's wrong? It seems serious" said Henry.
"There's something serious I'd like to talk about today. Something to do with life and death. So I have to tell you right away" Reno said.
"Well Mr. Reno to me. What's the matter, sir?" ask Henry impatiently.
"I want to tell you, but we'd better wait for Rianti for a moment" Reno said.
"Richthy? Rianti was invited here too?"
Henry was confused. Actually, he felt uncomfortable when Rianti was invited to this place. But he tried to act ordinary. His eyes look there. He looked a little uneasy and uncomfortable.
"Yes, because this relates to you two as husband and wife.So this is important I say. Hmm, are you okay? It looks uncomfortable like it," Reno said.
"Nope-no. I'm okay," said Henry.
Reno just nodded, but Henry's unease became a note to him. While waiting, he ordered some food and drinks. Henry seemed impatient, because he regretted when inviting Rianti, the woman must always be late, because there was a lot he had to prepare. His rather perfectionist nature makes him always want to appear perfect in public.
In the end, the awaited ones arrived. Rianti arrived at the cafe with a new look. He wears an elegant blouse, and a new hairstyle dyed reddish. Henry was surprised to see the change in his wife's appearance. He did not think at all that the wife mempermak appearance to be super excited like that. Rianti did not care about the astonished look of her husband. He sat down facing Reno.
"Good afternoon, definitely my most awaited arrival," said Rianti with a smile.
"You look beautiful this afternoon" said Reno.
Rianti blushed in embarrassment as her eyes glanced at Henry. The actor only snorted, pretending not to react with Rianti's glance. The smell of Rianti's fragrant perfume somewhat disturbs his smell, but he pretends to be comfortable with the situation.
"So what exactly are you going to talk about, Mr Police?" ask Rianti.
"OK .. okay. Just go straight yeah. I'm not very good at small talk, but of course you know that Renita Martin was killed last night. Even our colleague and sister Renita are still missing. Well, this killer again left a threat, just like when they were about to kill Mr. Daniel, Anita, and Ollan. The content of the puzzle is a clue to the characteristics of the bandage and how the victim will be killed,"
Reno sighed for a moment, then sipped her coffee.
"Wait Sir. Before you proceed any further, I would like to ask. What does that puzzle have to do with us? Did you accuse one of us of being a murderer?" asked Rianti in a rather high tone.
"Wait on! Waitaminute! That's not what I meant. I'm not accusing you of being killers at all. Even otherwise. I was going to remind you that the perpetrator of the murder was very close. You guys need to be careful. Sorry, I'm not scaring you, but don't let Renita happen again to you" Reno said.
"Renita? Is Emang Renita also under previous death threats?" ask Rianti.
"Yes, right. The threat to Renita was even sent directly to my home address in the form of a package without the sender's name. While the next puzzle was deliberately placed on the table so that I could easily take it. The killer deliberately gave the next victim a clue. You better be careful!"
"In that riddle is our name or what?" Henry was enthusiastic.
Henry fell silent, his eyes shone with fear, and so did Rianti. He was also silent, but said nothing. Moment later. Rianti spoke up.
"Sorry sir, it's not that we don't believe the contents of the puzzle, but it's too early to conclude that we are the next victims. I think I'll do my usual activities, yes maybe we'll be more vigilant, I agree with that," Rianti said.
"I'll be more vigilant, sir. At least two days ahead, right? I'm going to stay home and not go anywhere" Henry said.
"Remember! Home is not a safe place. Renita is killed in a house that has been installed a safety alarm, but still the killer can infiltrate and finish him. I don't want your negligence to be fatal. If you need security, then we are ready to help" Reno said.
"I'll stay home, sir!" Henry insisted.
"I .. I don't know. I just want to move as usual.Actually I do more activities outside with other mothers. So maybe I'll be home less often" Rianti said.
"Whatever your activity is, stay alert, for death may come suddenly.I promise you nothing, but I hope you remain vigilant!" message Reno.

Widya felt trembling, she saw Thunder coming suddenly in front of the door. He looked at Widya with an angry look. The bespectacled woman wavered, not expecting that Thunder returned so quickly, but she said goodbye to lunch. He still holds the agenda book of Thunder which contains a diary.
"Have you had lunch?" ask Widya.
"Some are left behind!"
Thunder rushed into his room, seizing the agenda book that was in Widya's hands quickly. He looks angry because Widya presumptuous to open her personal items without permission. Thunder then opened the other drawer to pick up the wallet that was left behind.
"You do it again, you'll regret it!" muttered Thunder while staring intently at Widya's face.
Widya was terrified. He had never seen Thunder behave like that before. He just nodded slowly. His parasites were bowed, to avoid Thunder who was staring angrily at him.
"I-I'm sorry, Gun!" widya Lirih.
"What have you seen?" ask Thunder.
"Ti-no Gun. I haven't seen anything. Besides, even if I see something, I won't say anything else" Widya said timidly.
"That photo? Did you see him?" cecar Thunder.
Widya just nodded slowly.
"Other times there is no need to interfere with one's personal life. You know, that photo is a memory of my childhood with my sister. But I don't want to tell you, because it doesn't matter to you. And you don't have to wonder who my sister is and where she is now! I'll take it again, it's none of your business, Wid!" firm Thunder.
Widya fell silent, unable to say anything. What he does is wrong, because he tries to know someone's life without his permission.
"Sorry Gun, I didn't mean that. I didn't accidentally and ..." whispered Widya.
"Now come out!" thunder Command.
