Murder In The Old Castle
307. First Investigation
The day had already started the night when Mariah was about to continue on her way to the castle. That night he was accompanied by two police officers, Ramdhan and Juned, who were in charge of assisting the investigation at the crime scene, as well as preventing unwanted things in the castle. Niken's name was not included in the list of police who took part in the investigation. The police assess that Niken must be assigned in mild or moderate cases first. Murder cases in this castle, including severe cases. Automatically the name Niken crossed out.
In addition to the investigation team, a number of medical teams were also deployed to evacuate the body of Lidya who was still left alone. They used an ambulance that quickly drove towards the castle, along with the investigator's car. Knowing the teams were leaving that very night, Niken acted immediately.
The scribbling of the name left Niken disappointed with the decision that had been made. Secretly, he thought that he would go to the castle secretly, to investigate the case independently, as well as to prove to the police who underestimated his existence. That very night, he prepared a car to catch up with Mariah who was on her way to the castle.
Niken's car drove a few hundred meters behind the car that Mariah and her entourage were riding towards the old castle. He tried to sharpen the view, so as not to lose track. He knew his reputation was at stake. He must be able to show them that he can participate in solving this case well.
While Reno and Dimas will follow later, because there is something they have to prepare, before they jump directly in the murder case. Reno is shocked by the events in the old castle as Mariah has told her. Since that horrible incident, nothing has happened in the castle. However, apparently there were repeated events, as if it had been prepared for a long time.
"What's the victim's name?" ask Reno while preparing the file to be brought to the castle.
"Lidya Kumalasari, 26, a teller at a private bank. According to Mariah, she was found dead in the pool toilet in a terrible state. On his body there were many stab wounds, and he seemed to have lost a lot of blood. Maybe we should check the situation" Dimas said.
Reno noted Dimas's remarks in an agenda book.He tried to gather preliminary information, to start an investigation.
"Later we will ask for written data of anyone who is in the castle. Their archive seems to be in the police's data bank" Ammar said.
"For anyone who is in the castle, we ask them directly later. According to Mariah there were 11 people who were there, not including Mariah and her husband. What is clear, between one person and one person to another knows each other, because they are friends in High School" explained Dimas.
"good. Looks like we're again faced with a serious case. Tonight we must leave for the castle. Do not let the incident happen some time and then come back repeatedly. Come on, we gotta get there!" bring Reno.
"Ready!"

It was getting late when the group of investigators and paramedics arrived at the castle site. They immediately worked professionally with the direction of Ammar. The location of the incident was directly traced and sterilized The entire occupants of the castle were directly sampled by fingerprints. They were not allowed to go anywhere during the investigation. The castle looks busier than usual. Investigators were still pacing around the pool, as were paramedics.
Lidya's blood-soaked body was raised into a stretcher and covered with a white blanket, then transported into an ambulance.While, Mariah tried to calm herself down by making coffee in the kitchen, I watched the police activity from the kitchen window. Tonight was different than usual. He felt tense and worried.
"All will be well."
A voice resuscitated Mariah. He looked back, finding Ammar Marutami already standing behind him.
"This will be a recurring event" Mariah murmured.
"I hope this is the first and last murder" Ammar said.
"I guess not. There was something I found in the car when I left for the city. Two gold bracelets with the words Adit and Lidya were engraved there. Also a De Javu. What do you think that means?" ask Mariah.
"De Javu?"
"Well, doesn't that mean repetition?"
Ammar nodded. Suddenly he became worried. If this is a repeat murder, then he must be vigilant. He still sees the researchers working.
"Ammar and Dimas haven't arrived yet?" ask Ammar later.
Ammar nodded, then exited the kitchen towards the pool area. He saw the murder scene up close. Blood was still splattered everywhere, it was terrifying. He could only hold his breath. A policeman suddenly approached him while handing him something sparkling.
"Ring?" ask Ammar.
"yes, sir. I found it near the pool. It looks like a woman's ring" said the policeman.
Ammar observed a gold ring with a diamond eye in his hand. The ring was quite expensive. What is the real lead behind this ring? Ammar secured the sneaker immediately. He hoped that Reno and Dimas would come soon tonight, as there were things that he wanted to discuss immediately.
On the front porch, the castle residents looked worried, seeing some police and paramedics downstream. They sat around a table, with tea on it.
"We will be next" muttered Nadina worriedly.
"Shut up! Don't talk carelessly. Nothing will be next. We can all get out of this castle safely. Don't think the no! Lidya is rather tacky and arrogant, it is appropriate that she gets the punishment!" rosita Oceh.
Suddenly from inside the room, Aditya stepped slowly towards them. Everyone in the living room was silent. They are surprised by Aditya's unexpected appearance. The parasite still shows deep sadness. A moment later he looked at the faces of all those present, with a threatening look.
"You satisfied?" ask Adit suddenly.
"Eh, Dit. I'll take you to the room. Looks like you need to rest first" Edwin said.
"No! I know one of you here killed my wife. I swear, I'll catch it with my own hands! I won't let anyone wander around. I'm going to take every pain my wife's been through to you! Don't think I'm a fool!" Aditya started to stir with anger.
All were silent at Aditya's words, no one responded, just lowered their heads in lethargy. They believe that what Aditya does is spontaneity, because he feels depressed about losing his wife. Actually they feel pity, but nothing can be done, except to let the man vent his emotions.
"I already know the killer!" aditya said suddenly.
Everyone looked at each other hearing that speech. Is it true what Aditya said? Paars Aditya turned red, then he stood up from his seat. He approached Rosita, then pointed at her face with his index finger.
"You're the killer!"
