Murder In The Old Castle
272. Guests Not Invited
Seeing the unexpected discovery, Dimas suddenly did spry. He immediately checked the condition of the two women lying helplessly in the middle of the room. His condition is very concerning. Both women looked pale with lips drying out due to lack of fluid. His body was limp and the nayaris did not move. Dimas checked their pulse, still felt even though very weak.
"Almost," he murmured.
Dimas immediately called an ambulance to help the two poor women. In addition, he also called the police to check the conditions around the house. In his heart he felt grateful, because it was not too late. The two women, Niken and Rani, were still rescued. Maybe, if he's late, it'll be another story.
Soon the medical staff came to the site. They lifted Rani first on a stretcher, then taken into an ambulance to get immediate treatment. The same thing happened to Niken. Two ambulances were set up to evacuate the two women.
Police also began to arrive at the site. They did not expect that the location of the discovery of Niken and Rani was right in front of Renita's residence. Before, no one had any suspicions at all. Apparently the killer was quite clever, putting Niken and Rani in a place quite close, only a few dozen meters away. No one realized that they were placed in that empty house.
Now Dimas has bagged a name, the owner of this empty house which turned out to be a person who surprised him greatly. Quickly, access to and out of housing is so easy. However, he did not want to rush to conclusions, he had to go further and needed more corroborating evidence about the involvement of empty homeowners in this serial murder case.
However, the name of the owner of this empty house is very surprising. How could the dead have easy access to and out of a residential neighborhood? Yes, he found that the empty house was owned by Daniel Prawira! So who really has access to the house?
Soon he asked for clarity on this matter to the housing. At that time, back to see Leila, a young girl who works as a receptionist, as well as a housing spokesman. Leila is somewhat surprised to see Dimas present, suspecting that the police will question him about the discovery of two women in an empty house across from Renita Martin's house.
"So who's taking care of the house? Doesn't that house belong to Daniel Prawira? As we all know, Daniel Prawira is dead. There must be someone else who takes care of that asset" Dimas said.
Leila seemed to think hard, but a moment later shook her head.
"To my knowledge, sir. The house was abandoned, and we had no idea who was taking care of it. We no longer take care of anyone who visits the empty house. It could be Mr. Daniel's family or friends, we have no authority to question. We housing parties do not know detailed information if there is a change of owner, unless the house is purchased by someone else. We just want to know who the owner of the house is. That's it, not the one taking care of it, because it's gone too far" Leila said.
Dimas. In conclusion, the case still holds a puzzle. The owner of the mansion was Daniel Prawira. He suspected that there was someone who controlled this asset other than Daniel himself. Surely Daniel gave someone the right to access this house. But who?
After checking around the empty house, Dimas immediately went to the film studio. Again, he wanted to check the office occupied by Daniel Prawira, to find something that could be used as an important clue of the case. Unfortunately, in the film studio, he didn't see anyone. A film crew said filming was delayed to an unspecified deadline, as the main cast and some crew were in the process of isolation.
"Then may I check the room once occupied by Mr Daniel Prawira?" ask Dimas.
"Sorry, Mr. Daniel's room is occupied by a new director. Mr. Daniel's entire belongings have been returned to his own home. If you want, I'll give you Mr. Daniel's address" the film crew said.
Dimas nodded. The next step, he will examine Daniel's background more deeply. He suspects that this very strange case is related to each other. That very day, he had to go search Daniel Prawira's house.

The inhabitants of the isolation house were having breakfast at the dining table with silence.each of them dissolved in his own mind. However, it was clear that an aura of tension had appeared on the faces of the residents. In fact, the look at the dining table looks appetizing. Bu Mariyati is quite good at processing food ingredients into dishes that look delicious.
"Is everyone sleeping well tonight?"
Reno opened the conversation while chewing her morning meal. Everyone just nodded, until at the end Rianti looked nervous as he said.
"Sa-I don't" said Rianti timidly.
"I heard the sound of walls being knocked all night, and this scared me. The knock was a sign that .... "
Rianti stopped his sentence. His face was radiating fear.
"That's what?" urge Reno.
"That maybe I'm the next target for the killer. I am very afraid of this" said Rianti.
Reno scrunched his forehead. The slightest information can certainly not be underestimated. He guessed, it was only natural that Rianti became the next target, because indeed this woman really likes to preen, so maybe it has something to do with the sixth puzzle placed in a bottle, near the corpse of Melani.
"We will be adding more personnel in the near future. If you want, we'll keep an eye on you for 24 hours to make sure no one tries to kill you. How's it?" reno bargain.
"Twenty-four in my opinion is too much, sir. Maybe at night. Because in the morning and during the day I will interact with other residents together, so the possibility that I will be killed in the morning or night is small. Night frightens me" said Rianti.
"Everything is likely to happen. But if you mind, then okay, we'll monitor you at night, to make sure that you're completely safe. I understand everyone here has privacy, and being watched by others is not fun, is it?"
They were about to finish the breakfast, when Mr. Paiman suddenly entered the dining room in shock. The parasites looked anxious, like they were about to convey something.
"What's up, sir?" ask Reno.
"There's an uninvited guest, about to enter this isolation house again, sir!" said Mr. Paiman quickly.
"You weren't invited? Mr Paiman knows that guest?" ask Mr. Reno.
"Yes, of course sir. I am not the only one who knows him. Maybe the whole town knows him. He's also been here on cases before, sir. I think you also know who he is" said Mr. Paiman.
"Gilda Anwar" muttered Reno softly, barely audible.
He could not understand why the news seeker always knew what the police were doing, even he always knew number one. His presence at this time will certainly complicate the situation, because in the previous case, obviously the presence of Gilda was quite troublesome. He was mired in an old well hole, until then held captive in a warehouse. It's lucky the woman wasn't killed by the killer.
"So ... How about Sir? Do I allow entry or what?" ask Mr. Paiman.
"Let me see him sir!" firmly Reno.
