Murder In The Old Castle
286. Latest Facts
The afternoon came to power, replacing the somber morning. Hot sunlight, as if melting anything on earth. The blinding rays broke through to the bottom of the old well, so Gilda had to shelter by closing her body to the damp and mossy walls of the well. He was bored at the bottom of a silent well. All day he could only condemn the situation, hoping for help to come. Honey, the phone wasn't brought. He could imagine, his phone would ring incessantly, as many people were contacting.
"It's lunch time! Are you hungry, Gilda?"
Suddenly he heard the voice of the man in the mouth of the hole above him. Gilda looked up, to make sure who was coming. He found Reno smiling while carrying a rice pack and a bottle of mineral water. Reno threw the food and drink towards Gilda. The journalist caught on immediately.
"Are you okay, Gilda? You sleep well, don't you, Semalem?" greet Reno.
"No, of course I'm not okay, sir. You see I'm so tormented here. Where's the fucking Dimas? He kidnapped me last night and now just runs away. Get me out of this fucking hole, sir! I swear, as soon as I get out of this hole, the police have to pay a heavy price for everything they've done to me. I will broadcast to the public the inhumane treatment of the police to journalists!"
Reno only smiled hearing Gilda's threat while shaking her head.
"Just do it if you dare Gilda. We do it not without procedure. As soon as you get out of this hole, then I will immediately charge you with three things. First, you enter the forbidden area without permission, alias infiltrate. It's clearly against the law. You enter the private area of others who have violated the law, especially the area that is the object of police investigation. Second, you did a beating on a woman. It's clear that it also includes crime, and lastly, you've also done less fun. Each one of your actions must be a punishment. You still want to get out of this hole and make news to corner the police?" reply Reno.
Gilda fell silent, she could not argue, because what Reno said was completely true. He did enter the forbidden area without permission, he had also carried out a beating on Bu Mariyati, and he had done unpleasant actions on the apparatus. He could only catch his breath. It's hard to admit those mistakes.
"You better stay here, until the case is over. Don't worry about eating and drinking, because we'll send you all your needs. You just need to be patient, and try to be friendly to earthworms or centipedes scattered in it," said Reno.
"No! I can't stay in a shit hole like this. I gotta get out. Please Mr. Reno, I can't stay in a hole like this! I'm not a rabbit. I'm a human. I can't stay here all day in isolation. It's so horrible!" lamented Gilda.
"Isn't that worth what you've done, Gilda?"
"OK .. okay, I admit I was wrong to have entered the isolation house without permission. I was also wrong to have hit Bu Mariyati, and maybe I had also done some unpleasant deeds. I promise I won't do that again. I just want to get out of here. Please, sir, I have a life out there. I can't stay in here much longer. Please sir!" pinta Gilda's.
"How can I be sure that you don't repeat your mistakes again? We often give you a chance, but your old illness comes back!"
"I'm .. I'm going to pack up my things soon, and I'm going to leave this house of isolation, sir. I just want to get out of this place. I assure you, you will not be harmed by this," said Gilda.
"No, Gilda! That's not enough!"
"Then what do you want? You're gonna let me die rotting here?"
"All bad deeds have consequences, Gilda. Including your actions. I want you not to cover any news until a certain time. I don't want to see you on any TV or any show. You should really get away from things that have to do with coverage! If I still see you once, I'll throw you in jail myself! " said Reno firmly.
"Then I'll talk to your boss, and I'll ask for a suspension for you for a certain amount of time because of the fatal mistake you made. But if you're not willing, then please stay here until the case is over. No more offers, Gilda! Sorry!"
Gilda fell silent. His position is now being squeezed, and he has no better choice. In his mind, he only wanted to escape this hole immediately. In the end, he was forced to give up on the situation. After a moment of worry about making a choice, he finally nodded.
"Alright Sir. Help me get out of here!"

Dimas gets additional information from Niken about the killer's description. Of course, the information was very important, so Dimas did not want to waste it. It felt like he wanted to immediately return to the isolation house and inform Reno of this. However, it seemed like he had to settle other matters first in the city.
After seeing Niken, he saw Widya's condition, which was still lying weak in a hospital bed. The doctor said that Widya should not be disturbed because she is still traumatized. The wound on the wrist should be sewn, and it's already done. According to doctors, Widya was also sedated for some time when she was first discovered due to the influence of drugs. This confirms that Widya did not attempt suicide, but some conditioned it as if the young woman had attempted suicide.
In addition to Widya, Dimas also saw the condition of Rani and Faishal. However, the two men were apparently not in the hospital. They have been released because they are in good condition. Dimas is grateful, because he can now focus on solving other affairs.he stopped by the police station for a while, to check some files he found in Daniel Prawira's office. He re-sorted all the data, and associated with the latest data he had.
"It looks like he's the killer. He can go all the way, and he's been in personal contact with all the victims who were killed! Looks like she. But I need some more corroborating data" murmured Dimas.
He's been checking Daniel Prawira's personal data for the past ten years. He also accessed the news on the internet, checking anyone who had been close to Daniel during that time. He stalled at a shocking news story about Daniel! He understands, sometimes the news on the internet pages are sometimes fake. Therefore, he will check the truth of the news, by going directly to the source.
"Hmm, I have to uncover the facts of this news!"
