Murder In The Old Castle
354. Escape While
Among the groves of tea trees that grow in each other, Edwin's body fell down just like that in a weakened state. Just a moment ago, he felt a great impact on his head, so that his eyes twitched and made him unconscious. He opened his eyes slowly, finding himself surrounded by tea trees. There's no one there. As he remembered, he was looking for a drinking bottle that fell, then the incident happened quickly.
He tried to raise his face towards the clear blue sky, with scattered cotton-like clouds here and there. The sun was shining, so his eyes were glare. He tried to stand up, look around, there was nobody there. Why was he left alone in this place? He tried to stand up, having managed to balance the position of his body.
For a moment she remembered Rosita. Didn't he go for a walk with her? Where the hell's he going? Edwin tried to walk to the path that was there. However, he was surprised because the existing path looked different from the path he passed this morning. Maybe he was transferred to another part of the tea garden. So how does he have to find his way home? The surrounding atmosphere looked foreign.
"I ... I have to find the castle soon," Edwin murmured.
He did not want to take a headache where he was now, which he clearly obeyed the heart where he had to step. The main purpose is the highway, because of the highway will facilitate the road to the castle. However, he did not know which direction the highway was on. He just followed his footsteps. He must remain vigilant, it could be the person who hit him earlier back at any time. He chose to walk a little down so that his existence is not easily known.
However, as he walked, he felt increasingly unfamiliar in the middle of the tea garden. He did not find any clues that could lead him to the highway, even though the sunlight increasingly stung the crown. He returned to face up, then tried to find shade, because his skin felt stung. At the end of the curve he saw a tree that seemed comfortable enough to be used for shelter. Half-run he reached it, then sat under a tree.
Meanwhile, at the place where Edwin was lying earlier, a mysterious figure had already reached there. He looks riled up, because he does not see the figure of Edwin anymore. Though earlier he only stayed a while to take care of Niken, now know Edwin has disappeared. Though he was sure that he had hit the man's head strongly, but why was he still able to realize, even disappear?
"Hahahhhh!"
The figure screamed to throw away his sense of regret. Actually he wanted to find Edwin's whereabouts, but when he saw the day was getting late, he had to immediately return to the castle to change its shape. He must be able to appear ordinary in front of other residents, lest they put suspicion on him. If it is too long outside, others may suspect it.

Inside the castle, Reno looks uneasy waiting for the arrival of the paramedics who have been contacted by Mariah. He walked back and forth in the middle of the vast castle. For a moment he looked around. Today the castle is a little quiet. He only saw Ryan who suddenly appeared from inside his room, Ryan seemed wrong to meet Reno.
"Where are the castle's inhabitants. Why does it seem so lonely today?" ask Reno.
"Eh ... Where are you? I saw Rosita and Edwin come out of the castle early in the morning wearing sports clothes. Mariah went to town, right? Jeremy ... probably in his room, because I haven't seen since morning. Then ... Maya and Lily I don't know where they are either. Nadine is currently in the room because she is not feeling well. He needs a doctor. I saw that his neck had not healed yet" Ryan said.
"You mean the neck infection. That so?" ask Reno.
"Seems like. Or else I could ask for medicine so that the wound on his neck would dry up quickly" Ryan said.
"Well, I'll ask the paramedics. By the way, you said Edwin and Rosita were out of the castle? Why don't they permit me? Where's meeka at? Didn't I ask you not to go anywhere. On stubbornness. My feelings are not good .... "
Just as he was about to get out, he saw the figure of Rosita with a lethargic face, bowing his head, walking from the direction of the highway. He was alone, without Edwin being with him. Of course this makes Reno more astonished and curious. He approached Rosita to find out what was going on.
"What's the matter Ros? Where's Edwin?" ask Reno.
Rosita just shook her head. He did not answer, but his face showed deep sadness. He tried to calm down, but his face could not cover his anger.
"Edwin disappeared" Rosita said later.
"Disappeared how?" ask Reno.
"We took a walk this morning to the tea garden to enjoy the view. Well, in the middle of the trip we lost a drinking bottle, even though our condition was very thirsty. Edwin looked for the bottle, because who knew it had fallen on the way. I waited for him near the hill, but I waited for a few minutes to half an hour, Edwin had not returned either. I finally decided to look for him and go down the road we were on, but Edwin wasn't there. My gut feeling was bad and I thought nothing. Until now Edwin has not been able to find. Even the signs of its existence are also not there," said Rosita sadly.
"God! We have to find him! Let's get me to that place, Ros!" bring Reno.
"I've been looking everywhere, sir. But there is no result. I think it's a waste we're looking for him" Rosita asked.
"I'm sure Edwin's still around the place. I'm afraid he's lost or somewhere. The condition of the castle is quiet, there is Ammar and Juned there. I'll help you find Edwin. Go Ros!" bring Reno.
"But .... "
"Alright, Ros! Comeing! We don't have much time. The more we delay time, the more dangerous Edwin's fate will be. Anything could have happened. We can't buy time, Ros!"
Rosita was silent for a moment. He saw Reno had already walked ahead of him. Inevitably, Rosita follows Reno as she walks down the highway to the tea garden. Reno checked every inch of the road they had been on, but there were no signs of Edwin.
"Getciin!" cry Reno.
Several times Reno's screams went unanswered, until Reno became more anxious. However, you are not discouraged looking for Edwin, up to each small walkway. He was worried that Edwin was hidden behind a grove of tea trees.
