Murder In The Old Castle
356. The Lost Plan
Ammar re-entered Anggara Laksono's workspace on the third floor. He wanted to find the castle floor plan as Tiara had told him. He thought that a castle of this size should have a plan, making it easier to know what rooms are in the castle. Because of the vastness of the castle, Ammar itself also does not memorize the rooms, because there are dozens. He only memorized the important spaces that are commonly used. He himself also realized that in this castle there are three dining rooms with different sizes, which may be functional use is also different. It's just that, there is indeed a main dining room that is commonly used everyday.
Ammar began to look for the existence of the floor plan of the room in Anggara's work cabinet which is quite large. There are thick books on philosophy and working documents arranged in binders. He opened the binder one by one, hoping to find the floor plan he was looking for. It is not an easy job, because there are many documents. The number of binders that line up is also quite a lot, of course it will be very time consuming. Ammar sighed almost desperately looking at the row of binders,
One by one he opened the binder. He has opened the sixth binder, but the document he is looking for has not been met either. However, when he opened the sixth binder, he was very enthusiastic when he saw that the contents of this binder specifically contained about the intricacies and history of the castle at the time of its establishment, the status of ownership, and the, until the explanation of the spaces in the castle. Until his eyes were fixed on a description on one of the pages that read 'see the plan on the last page'. Ammar hastily opened the binder until the last page, because he immediately thought that the plan was indeed placed on the last page. After he opened the last page, he was surprised because he found that the sheet had been torn. Someone had taken the sheet forcibly.
"Who took this sheet?" ammar murmurs.
He closed the binder back in annoyance. He tried to find in another binder, who knows there is more information about this castle. He thought, who took the floor plan must be the perpetrator who had been wandering easily in the castle, and knew the ins and outs.
On the ninth binder he opened, there was something else that interested him. Anggara Laksono wrote down a family lineage that Ammar seemed to know. In the genealogy, Anggara clearly wrote the name Anastasia Pratiwi as the legal wife, not Anjani who had twins. Their names are not even listed in that lineage. Soon Ammar shuts down the binders. Uncle Mariah's past is really dark. He did not want to know more, because the murder of the writers some time left memories so dark for him.
He turned to the reading room to find the information he needed. Anggara has thousands of books in various categories. It also adds to his mystery. He was about to enter the reading room when he passed Nadine who looked new out of the room as well.
"Sir Ammar, where are you going?" greet Nadine friendly.
"Oh, I'm going to the reading room for a while, there's a book I'm going to look for. Where are you from yourself?" ask Ammar.
"I was not feeling well, feeling bored in the room, then I decided to go to the reading room to find a novel that suits my mood," Nadine said with a smile.
Ammar nodded with a smile.let the young lady leave him. In Nadine's hand were two novels ready to be read. Ammar had a quick glance. He knows the novel that Nadine brought.

Reno returned to meet Rosita who was still waiting on the side of the path with an anxious face. Rosita doesn't see Reno back with Edwin. The policeman was just walking alone with his parachute, looking desperate.
"Where's Edwin sir?" ask Rosita, please,
Reno simply shook her head, while throwing a glance around. As far as the eye can see only the expanse of green tea plants. He was confused what to say to Rosita, because he did not manage to find Edwin.
"Sir Reno didn't find him?" ask Rosita again.
"God! I can't leave him alone on this farm, sir. Let's find him!" anxious Rosita.
"Ros, are you going around this incomparably vast tea garden? We can worry, but we must use our common sense. Until night we will not complete around this place. We better go home and rest. Tomorrow I'm gonna go get Juned, Jeremy, or anyone else who can help me find Edwin. If we are rash, it will be easily used by the perpetrator, so we will be easily deceived," said Reno.
Rosita. He did not dispute what Reno said. He just nodded. Reno then stepped out of the tea garden, down the descending path. The daytime sky looked bright, with the sunlight radiating perfectly. The two men walked slowly away from the tea plantation, towards the castle whose tower was already seen standing tall with gallantry.

Before returning to the castle, Mariah immediately called Dimas regarding the information he had obtained from the Holy Mother. Mariah felt this was important information that she had to convey immediately, regarding the background of the Holy Friends whose existence is still mysterious. He underlined that the Holy Companion was most likely to have a single parent, and probably came from a less happy family.
Dimas segere responds to the slightest info. He immediately moved to look for data related to the background of the people in the castle. He started with the data recorded in the police. At least there is preliminary data that he collected, before he switched to looking for other data. The plan, tomorrow morning he must immediately return to the castle to unravel this tangled string of threads. However, before he decided to return, he should at least pocket the names that he might suspect.
Based on the data he collected, it is certain that the perpetrator of this disorder was a woman who clearly had a close relationship with Mariah and her friends. It's just that he hasn't been able to determine who exactly that woman is. There are some important data that he cantongi already, just add complementary data only.
After finishing with the data from the police, the plan he will collect family data from the residence office. From the collected data, he tried to deduce the data closest to the identity of Mariah's friends, who may be the perpetrators of all the chaos.
