Murder In The Old Castle
372. Sudden Interrogation
After suspecting one name of the cause of the chaos that occurred in the castle, Dimas immediately checked the room in question. Dimas wants to make sure that the name he suspects is really the perpetrator of this strange case. He knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Dimas opened the door, it turned out that the door was indeed in an unlocked state. Where are the inhabitants, murmured Dimas.
He stepped into the slightly messy room. The bed was still in a state that had not been neatly arranged, as if left out. The floor of the room is also dirty, never cleaned, as if the occupants do not have time to clean the floor. He went to check the dresser. There's nothing suspicious there. The occupant of this room is not the type of person who likes to dress up excessively, because he sees the cosmetic tools that are not too much, as well as women today.
He checked the drawers of the dresser, but they contained only small, insignificant objects, such as brooches and hairpins. After making sure there was nothing to suspect, he opened the wardrobe located on the side. There were not many clothes that this man had brought. Suddenly. Dimas saw a box of accessories stored behind a pile of clothes. Dimas was curious, what exactly is the contents of the accessories box.
The accessory box looks beautiful, square shaped painted sillver color with ribbon decoration on the lid. Dimas opened slowly, finding a necklace with a letter-shaped pendant. Dimas frowned, as he seemed familiar with this necklace. He had seen it, but forgot where. The letter that became the pendant on the necklace was SA.
"SA?" mummified Dimas.
Dimas remembered something, then he muttered, "It's not wrong. I think he's involved in this case."
In order for the pendant to be safe, Dimas pocketed the pendant into a pocket. He was about to look for another clue in the room, but had to break the intention because he suddenly heard a voice from outside.
"Please .. please!"
The voice seemed to be coming from the corridor outside the room. Dimas immediately opened the door, finding Juned who was walking hurriedly carrying Niken in a sling. Dimas was surprised to see Juned coming. He immediately acted to make sure that they were both fine.
"Quick! Bring it into the room here!"
Dimas immediately opened a room that was temporarily uninhabited. Once inside, Juned immediately laid Niken on the bed. Niken seems to be weak and unconscious, but he is still alive. His condition is very dirty and messy.
"What's going on, Jun?" ask Dimas.
"Jeremy and I managed to find Niken's whereabouts in the woods. By the time I found her, Niken was already tied to a tree and unconscious, probably from exhaustion and starvation. Lookie! His face is pale, right? So I had the initiative to hold Niken and I asked Jeremy to watch over me. Because I think Niken's safety is very important, I have to take responsibility for him. I held Niken, while Jeremy walked behind me with a gun. Too bad ...."
Juned stopped his sentence. The parasites looked anxious, there was something he was thinking about. Dimas was curious to hear Juned's story.
"What happened then? Where is Jeremy now?"
"Unfortunately, as we passed back through the basement, the killer figure managed to follow us and. I don't know. I heard Jeremy scream. Unfortunately when I turned around, he disappeared. I'm afraid he didn't survive" Jeremy said.
"Geez!" said Dimas.
Juned can only be silent, feeling guilty.I must admit that the disappearance of Jeremy is his fault as well. He shouldn't have missed civilians in this business. He just satirized while bowed.
"Now you take care of Niken. If he is aware give him to drink warm water and food if necessary. Try to keep Niken conscious, not to faint. I'll gather the castle dwellers right now. This can't be allowed!" furious Dimas.

Bruock!
Seeing her friend in such a state of injury, Mariah felt very angry and angry, but she could do nothing. He wanted to help, but his hands were tied, even his mouth was closed. He could only cry looking at Jeremy, hoping that the man didn't die.
"You saw it, right? Anyone who tries to stop me will definitely end up in death. I don't care if it's a friend or anyone, I don't care! I'm gonna kill you all. My grudge against Lidya has been avenged. Farrell and Aditya followed. You guys just have to wait for time before I finish everything. Now I don't want to linger. Surely Juned's been reporting to the other cops about Jeremy, and the cops will be looking for me soon. I'm going to go back upstairs, pretend nothing happened, and I'm going to play my acting really well. Oya, who do you think I should finish after this? You got any advice?" asked the figure while looking intently at Mariah.
Mariah wanted to curse, but her mouth was smothered. He could only vent his frustration by crying while shaking his head.
"Or did I finish it off after this? Let's see it later! I want to go back upstairs! I don't have much time!"
The figure immediately came out of the room, not forgetting to lock the door. Mariah and Jeremy were left in a damp, stuffy room. Mariah can only resign, but she is sure that she will be found.He is eager to call Jeremy, but what is the power of his mouth smothered.

Dimas immediately held a sudden meeting in the second dining room which was smaller than the main dining room. The dining room is located on the right wing of the castle on the second floor. This dining room is designed to entertain guests in small quantities, and also functioned as a recreation room. The floor is carpeted and has open space for dancing. Dimas wanted to go back to making sure that his guess was not wrong. He hopes that the name he has been holding is the perpetrator in this case. He deliberately waited first in the dining room accompanied by Reno.
"We'll see, Ren! If my analysis is correct, then it is undeniable that the perpetrator of this case is really him" said Dimas.
The one who came first to that place was Nadine. His parasites looked anxious and worried.he immediately sat on the right side of the table. Next Rosita and her husband, came almost simultaneously with Lily. The last one to come was Maya. They occupied the seats that had been provided, while Dimas stared at them one by one with a sharp gaze. No one is worried. Each of them looked anxious and agitated.
The residents of the castle were still waiting worriedly. Usually if Dimas gathers them together like this, there must be something important to say. They were curious, what happened?
"There's something important I want to tell you. I'm glad you responded quickly and gathered here soon" Dimas said.
"What's important, sir? Well, how come I'm so stubborn, huh?" ask Rosita.
"One event has just happened: your colleague Jeremy disappeared and was likely held captive or injured by a mysterious figure in the basement. And it happened very quickly. Probably about 30 minutes ago. This made me very angry and I had to gather you, test your honesty! I'm gonna ask, what did you guys do last hour?" ask Dimas.
Everyone looked at each other in wonder, as if no one felt guilty and responsible for Jeremy's disappearance. Dimas was still waiting, but his eyes stared intently at one of them, until the one who was stared at was forced to look down.
"Jawab honestly, because I know your lies!" said Dimas firmly.
