Murder In The Old Castle
275. He is Back!
All eyes looked towards the dignified figure that had just come in the doorway. A dashing man, neatly dressed, and wearing sunglasses, spread a smile to all the residents of the isolation house. Reno could hardly believe who had just arrived. Isn't this Ammar Marutami? He looked healthy and excited that morning. The last news Reno heard, Ammar Marutami is still in the process of recovering his sick leg.
"It's like seeing a ghost, Ren!" ammar Marutami said with a smile.
"I'm honored by your arrival" Reno said.
He smiled back and felt very happy because Ammar was present at that place. No one should doubt the police's expertise in handling cases. Ammar is known to be quick and responsive in making decisions, although it is very dangerous for his own safety. Reno immediately got up, trying to help Ammar to sit with them, but was immediately pushed aside by Ammar.
"Don't you think I'm a cripple. Ren's. Yes, my leg was injured, but that doesn't mean my career is over. I can still move and investigate cases like you. You see, I'm now there without anyone's help. I drove my own car to get to this place, after the police told me. I don't want to be pitied, I'm as healthy as you are" Ammar said as he walked slowly to his seat.
Reno nodded. He was very impressed with the spirit possessed by Ammar. He knew that Ammar's leg was still not fully healed, but he took the time to come to this house of isolation. Sure, Reno appreciates that. Actually, he felt a little reluctant to face the senior police officer.
"So they're the ones who were isolated?"
Ammar spread his gaze to the residents of the isolation house sitting around him. The gaze was so sharp, it spread a threat as if Ammar could already recognize the killer from the gaze of the eye. The occupants were also astonished by the sudden and unexpected arrival of Ammar. There were some who sneered at Ammar's arrival. The murderer who was among them had already resolved first.
"Currently, why would the police send a disabled cop like this? What could he do? I'll be able to knock it off for a second."
Reno introduces Ammar Marutami to the residents of the isolation house, and says that Ammar's presence here is to assist in the investigation of this murder case.The average occupant is happy with the arrival of this police officer, who has been arrested, because you will feel safer. However, some of them look unhappy.
"Aren't you the cop in the old castle case?" ask Henry Tobing.
"Yes, I was one of the police officers who handled the murder case in that old castle. You guys followed that case too?" Ammar Marutami asked.
"I was just watching a television broadcast about the case, not following too much" Henry replied.
After chatting with Ammar, all residents are welcome to move freely, as long as they are not out of the home environment. After the death of the residents, Ammar immediately pulled Reno to a rather quiet room, which is a reading room next to the main veranda. The reading room is rarely visited, because the collection of books is old and obsolete. The condition is also very dusty, so people who are allergic to dust may cough and sneeze when they enter the reading room.
"There's something I need to tell you!" whispered Ammar Marutami.
"It seems very important. What'sthat?" ask Reno curiously.
"I just analyzed the expressions of the residents who were isolated in this house. It seems that I found three people whose faces were anxious and seemed to be disturbed by my presence here. I can read from their spies. Remember, psychology tells us that the eyes cannot lie! This could be an important clue. Remember that! I've handled cases dozens of times. I can read a person's expression whether he is lying, nervous, or anxious" said Ammar Marutami confidently.
"Hmm, maybe we can make it a consideration. Who are they?" ask Reno.
"I don't know their names one by one. I'll just mention the location of the seat and its physical characteristics!"

Behind the main building, Gilda settles among the trees trying to break into the house. His eyes swept around, making sure that all was safe. He saw the small house owned by Mr. Paiman and his wife in a closed state. He immediately ran towards the kitchen, as he saw the only access that could be passed was the kitchen. He rushed there.
Inside the kitchen, apparently there was Bu Mariyati who was cleaning the dishes of breakfast scraps in the sink. Ms. Mariyati was suffocated to see the sudden presence of Gilda. He was a bit scared, because the journalist entered by infiltrating. Gilda, who was caught off guard, immediately gestured with her finger so that Bu Mariyati would not scream.
"This is Ma'am Gilda, right? The one you held in the barn yesterday?" ask Ms. Mariyati.
"Yes Mom. Ma Mar still remembers me, right? Please, Ma Mar just shut up. Don't tell Mr. Reno or anyone else that I'm here. Ask for help, Mom. I don't mean to be evil. I just want to know the situation at home to complete the news that I cover. Can you please, Mom?" pinta Gilda's.
"Wow, Ma'am. Not dare me. Mr. Reno, the rules are clearly not allowing anyone else to enter the area. I do not dare to. I was later blamed and put in jail. Just not brave. I have to tell Mr. Reno!" said Ms. Mariyati.
"Oh, don't dong ma'am. I'm pretending I don't know if I'm here. If asked, just say you don't know. I just want to take a picture for a moment. Can you please, Mom?"
Ms. Mariyati was a bit worried, almost persuaded by Gilda's words. However, he shook his head while stepping away.
"Sorry Mom, I don't dare!"
Gilda was irritated because Bu Mariyati turned out to be calm with her opinion. Gilda was so anxious. Whether the demon possessed her, she took the frying pan that was on the kitchen table, then hit Bu Mariyati's head with the frying pan, until the middle-aged woman fell unconscious.
"What a hell! Not to die!"
Gilda checked Bu Mariyati's breath immediately, it turned out that she could still feel the middle-aged woman's breath After successfully paralyzing Ms. Mariyati, she went inside to the rooms that lined up there. The atmosphere looked lonely and no one was in sight, so Gilda was more courageous to enter. However, he was confused where to go, because if he remained there, it would be caught red-handed again. He slipped into a room, who he entered.
He is now in a room located at the end of the hallway. If you look at the personal items inside, it is clearly a man's room. He only realized that the room on the first floor was devoted to men. He was about to get out of the room again, but he heard people talking outside.
"What about?" he said confusedly.
Gilda was afraid of being caught red-handed again, inevitably she had to find the sense so as not to be caught by anyone. The only unseen place in the room was under the bed! Yeah, he'll sneak under the bed.
