Murder In The Old Castle
331. Collision
The sun rose in the western sky as Jeremy walked down the path to the waterfall. It was as if he was looking for his wife. He was jealous of Ryan and Edwin because their wives were found safe. Until now, Stella's existence is still mysterious. Jeremy is determined to find the whereabouts of the wife, however.
The weather is a little cloudy, making the air not too hot. He felt grateful, because the hot weather would make the journey more difficult. He only brought a bottle of water and a sandwich. He should be a little frugal.
"Yeshine!!" shout Jeremy.
Now, he has reached the waterfall area. Seeming before him, the turmoil of water falling from the top of the cliff, overriding the large rocks, causing a rumbling sound. He glanced around and shouted the name Stella. His premonition says that Stella is still alive. He never thought Stella was dead. He knew Stella was a tough woman who often went on adventures in nature. He won't just die, Jeremy thought.
Bird chirping was crunching at the tree branch, when Jeremy was feeling a little tired. He took the time to just sit while enjoying the scenery around the stunning waterfall. While sitting down, he still felt inexhaustible with the disappearance of the wife who was so sudden. He really hopes the wife does not have the same fate as Lidya or Farrel.
After resting for a while and wetting the esophagus, he intends to travel towards the cottage located in the forest. He was the first to find the cottage in the middle of the forest, and found Nadine's wounded figure in the hut. Intentions want to help, but even the wife is lost. However, he did not regret what he did.
He continued walking, until he came to the cottage that looked silent. He was about to enter the hut, but suddenly he felt his shoulder being patted from behind.
"Don't you go in there!" the command of the figure who patted his shoulder.
Jeremy turned his back, found Mr. Reno already standing behind him. Jeremy was surprised, he did know that Mr. Reno was still in the forest, but did not expect that he would meet at this cottage. Mr. Reno looked alert as he scanned around.
"Why did you go to the forest by yourself, Jer? Didn't anyone in the castle warn you?" ask Reno.
"Ma-sorry, Sir. I came here to find my wife. Waiting from the police was very slow, so I took the initiative to find my own. I don't need anyone's permission for this" Jeremy said.
"I know that, Jer. But it is still dangerous to be in this forest alone. Stella we'll still be looking for. I hope you can be patient, because you know for yourself, the situation is now very difficult. Hmm, then how is the castle's condition, is everything okay without me?" ask Reno.
Jeremy nodded quickly. His eyes glared, trying to collect fragments of events that occurred in the castle. Somehow he had to start.
"Everything's fucked. It's so messy, sir!" said Jeremy.
Reno was curious to hear Jeremy's explanation. Didn't expect the castle to be in a state of chaos without him. Reno invites Jeremy to sit on a big rock under a big tree. The leaves of the trees that grew wide, a little could shade them from the lick of sunlight that this afternoon burned mercilessly.
"What happened at the castle?" ask Reno.
"A lot is going on there. At first, Rosita disappeared without cause while she was cooking. Then, Mr. Ammar's attitude was so strange this morning, like something was hidden. Then he goes underground and finds Nadine in a dependent state. Not long after, Rosita was also found in the attic half-naked. Somewhat a little bit, Nadine was about to be killed by someone, and that person ran through the window" Jeremy explained, trying to remember every detail of the incident that occurred.
"God! So the killer is now inside the castle?" ask Reno.
"Eitherway! I don't give a shit. Now I'm going to find my wife's whereabouts. Sorry Sir! If you still want to be here please, but I have to immediately find the whereabouts of Stella," said Jeremy.
"Wait a minute Jer, you said Nadine was found in the basement. Didn't you say that you last met Nadine and Stella in this cabin. Then you said that Nadine was found hanging in the basement. Hmm, listen to me, Jeremy. It seems unlikely that the killer left Stella in the woods, while Nadine was hanged in the basement. Has anyone questioned Nadine about this?" search Reno.
"It could be Jeremy. Why don't you ask Nadine about this first? Maybe she knew Stella's whereabouts whether she was taken to the castle alone. Remember Jer! This forest is huge. Looks like you can't find Stella in a day. But you also have no idea where to look for Stella, right? We're afraid we can, keep using your common sense, Jer!" reno.
Jeremy fell silent, trying to consider what Reno said. He was worried that when he had stirred up the contents of the forest, it turned out that the figure sought did not exist. A moment later, Jeremy just fell silent while considering Reno's words. It feels like returning to the castle is already under responsibility. Reno knew what Jeremy was thinking.
"We're going back to the castle together. Let's wait for help from Dimas. He's going to town, right?"
Jeremy nodded. The two sat under a tree while waiting for the arrival of the medical team who was supposed to come with Dimas.

Ramdhan was panicking. The car he was driving was now flying to the right and to the left, as if without control. The right and left sides looked like gaping abyss. A cold sweat dripped down Ramdhan's forehead, but he did not dare to wipe it in the slightest. For now, he should focus on controlling the control of the car.
A few hundred meters ahead, Ramdhan knew there was a sharp bend that was quite dangerous. He swallowed. Maybe he will not make it through the corner, maybe even his history will end up in a steep ravine on the side of the corner.
"I will die. Mother, forgive your son," muttered Ramdhan.
He wanted to cry, but he tried to strengthen his heart. The bend is getting closer, while the speed of the car is also getting higher. From the opposite direction, apparently another car also drove at medium speed. Apparently it was the car that Dimas was driving. He was traveling to the city to inform him of the events that occurred in the castle.
Dimas was surprised by the car, which looked unstable. Dimas identified the car as a police car driven by Ramdhan. He was surprised. He felt something was wrong with the car speeding towards a dangerous corner.
"God! Isn't that the car Ramdhan was driving? The car must be stopped!" mummified Dimas.
Ramdhan's car is getting closer to the bend at high speed. Ramdhan knows that the brakes are not working, but still he presses the brake pedal firmly, hoping for a miracle. While in the opposite car, Dimas immediately took the initiative. He knew that if Ramdhan's car passed through the corner, the car would plunge directly into the ravine more than ten meters deep. Naturally, it would be fatal to Ramdhan.
"This can't be allowed! No!" said Dimas..
He doesn't have time anymore. He hopes his decision is right this time. He slammed the steering wheel suddenly, blocking the path of the car passed by Ramdhan. Dimas sacrifices his car to be hit by Ramdhan's car, rather than Ramdhan's car having to plunge into the ravine.
"God! What the fuck!"
Ramdhan also did not expect when a car suddenly blocked the road. Whereas before, Ramdhan was sure that he would end up in the ravine with his car. Ramdhan's car drove, so the impact was inevitable. The muzzle of Ramdhan's car hit the side of Dimas' car.
Braaak!!
The collision of the two cars violently made both cars roll on the asphalt. The condition of the car now ringsek and emit smoke!
