Murder In The Old Castle
322. Corpus
Reno and Dimas had half an hour of walking down the forest-splitting path. They have absolutely no view of where to look, because the forest looks vast. Huge trees surrounded in all directions, with roads slightly slippery due to the mud. The morning weather is not so hot, very supportive used for alignment. The sun is invisible, because it is covered in gray clouds, which spread evenly across the surface of the sky. A breeze blew, drying the sweat that began to flow on the two policemen's forehead.
"Where are we?" ask Dimas while wiping the sweat.
The sun just peeked, making the weather a little sultry. They were still walking along a narrow path flanked by thickets. Their mission had to be completed before afternoon, as there were matters to be completed by Dimas in the city.
"It's good we lead to the waterfall, then toward the cottage in the middle of the forest. I'm sure they're not far from there. May we not be late, and they both be found alive" Reno said.
Dimas just nodded. This time, he simply obeyed what Reno had ordered, as he had no idea what the case was. He also did not really want to explore into the forest, because he had planned to search the city for data about the intricacies of the inhabitants of this castle. They continued their journey, passing through the intersection of four, continuing to the waterfall area.
Before long, they arrived at a waterfall area that looks beautiful. The roar of water rang out as hundreds of cubic feet of water fell on the boulders below. Sparks of water around the waterfall, forming small rainbows when hit by sunlight. For a moment, they took off their fatigue while sitting on the rocks, and drank water from the bottle they had prepared beforehand.
"This place is perfect. Quiet and quiet, and very suitable if there are people who intend to be evil, because access out is also quite difficult" said Reno while sipping water in a bottle.
Dimas glanced around. There's no sign of a human being around here. Silent and silent, peaceful and terrible. Actually this place is very comfortable, but they do not want to be complacent with the beauty of the waterfall. They must continue their journey to the cottage in the middle of the forest, while combing the area that has been passed, who knows find important clues related to this murder. However, throughout their journey, they did not find any important clues.
"You think they're alive?" asked Dimas as he continued walking.
"Maybe. Do you remember Maya's story? The woman claimed to have only been hit in the head, then left alone. Why do you think this Maya wasn't wiped out like Lidya and Farrel? For some reason or something?" reply Reno.
"I can't answer that at all. I saw Maya's mysterious face, there was something hidden behind her eyeballs, I don't know what it was. We have to keep an eye on him, because it's quite suspicious. I hope there are no more casualties after this" Dimas said.
A little while later, the two of them now reached around the hut in the middle of the desolate forest. No one expected, if there was a hut standing in the middle of this forest. The condition is quite old and covered with trees and shrubs, making this cottage is not easy to find.
"According to Jeremy, he found Nadine first in this cabin helpless. Stella is then told to look after Nadine, but unfortunately, the two women disappear. Who really makes it all this complicated?"
"Let's check out that cabin one more time!"
The two of them entered the cottage again to check on things that might have been missed in it. They were cautious, because it was not impossible for their arrival to be stalked by someone in the cottage. The pistols clasped each one, sharpening the sight and hearing. The atmosphere in the hut is rather dark, making them have to be extra hard to stay alert. Several times they were surprised by the presence of forest rats.
They checked the rooms in the cottage, but nothing looked suspicious.Until the moment they opened the third hut, they saw something suspicious on the table. Like a human body covered in shabby cloth. Reno and Dimas are stuck. It looks like a human body, because they see the legs of the body are not closed perfectly. The body was wearing a pair of white sneakers.
"Who's the crazy guy who kept the body in this place?" mummified Dimas.
"Let's open up! Whose body is this really?"
The two policemen approached the body lying on a table, then slowly removed the covering. They held their breaths, when they saw the figure of the body behind the cover cloth. Especially Dimas. It was as if he was suffocating to see the body, unable to say anything. Reno can only shake=shake her head. It was the body of a man without a head!

Rosita turned around, not wanting to stay longer in that dark attic. He was in a hurry to find the window where he had entered, but apparently too late. Someone seemed to close the attic window, so that he could not get out of the attic. The attic window can only be opened from the outside, of course this will be more difficult.
"Please! Please open the window!" cry Rosita while trying to open the window.
"Don't try!" rosete Ancam.
He mounted the horses while alert, ready to hit the figure in front of him. The figure does not expect that Rosita will escape from his grip, even fighting. The figure of the ambush did not say a word, while taking a few steps back.He tried to find a gap to ambush Rosita, but the woman was ready with a stick in her hand.
Rosita realized, to get out of the attic is not an easy matter. He was looking for a way to get out of there. The figure whose face was covered with cloth was still watching his movements/Rosita thought, that he should not do anything stupid. He had to be tactical in order to get out of this attic.
"The police will soon come to ambush you, so never do anything stupid!"
Although feeling desperate, Rosita is not a typical woman who easily gives up. He continued to threaten using the metal stick he was carrying. Even now he was trying to advance, while his smothering figure was even backwards approaching the window.
"You won't be able to run anywhere. Soon, your cover will be revealed, and you will be thrown into prison or you will be put to death!" rosete Ancam.
Apparently, the figure was also not too afraid of threats. He just stood quietly in the face of Rosita's bluff. Suddenly with a quick movement the smothering figure instead pounced on Rosita. The two fell onto the wooden floor, rolling on each other. The figure of the pounceer tried to seize the stick that Rosita brought.
Unfortunately Rosita kept a tight grip on the stick, but as a result she was unable to concentrate when the figure suddenly struck a blunt object that she hid from behind her shirt onto Rosita's head.
Duuk!
"Byeah!"
The woman let out a short scream, moments later she was silent without a wiggle!
