Murder In The Old Castle
LXIS. Back to The Castle
Ammar's arrival was immediately greeted with enthusiasm by the castle's inhabitants. He was immediately carried into the room for further treatment. Aldo immediately checked the condition of Ammar's body, while the other occupants waited in the living room feeling uneasy. They did not expect that Ammar had come out secretly from the castle. In fact, Ammar never reached his destination.
After dropping off Ammar, the young men resumed their journey to camp around the castle. To that end, they deliberately leave the car in the castle, then continue the journey on foot. The presence of the young people was welcomed because it had saved Ammar's life from the accident.
“If you guys have anything, please just come here. Helen had enough food supplies for the next few months. Make sure you have enough supplies and remember one thing.” Hans said.
“What is it?” ask Antony.
“Enterprise to stay safe. We don't know what's around here. Sometimes a beauty, save a danger we never imagined!” said Hans.
“Thank you for the suggestion, Brother Hans! We'll have fun maybe two or three days around here,” Antony said.
Hans then whispered in Antony's ear, The”Sonya is very interesting. If possible, allow me to approach him.”
Antony laughed at Hans.
“He's a little hard to get, brother. But of course he will be very happy to get the attention of his own idol. Well, good luck, brother!”
“I'll visit you guys. I'm also curious about the waterfall you're talking about,” Hans continued.
“Please Brother. We are happy to receive your presence,” Antony said.
Hans let go of the group of young people happily. His eyes could not be seen how Sonya walked which he thought was so sexy. His dirty brain started working, poisoning the path of the mind. After content fantasizing, he returned to the living room, joining the other residents.
Aldo came out of Ammar's room into the living room, meeting some of the occupants who were sitting there. The most anxious Cornellio immediately scatters and strafe with questions. He was worried, because Ammar's weak condition would be very dangerous. The killer could have been eyeing the police at any time.
“How are things, Aldo?” ask Cornellio.
“It's been pretty improved. He can be invited to talk. There were some bruises on his body due to the impact, I think his leg also had a fracture. Actually we need medical equipment that is quite complete, unfortunately we do not have it,” said Aldo.
“Then let me go to the city to shop for needed medical equipment. I'm no longer a suspect, so I'm free to go to town right? There is a car I can use. The young children's car was deposited into this castle, so we can use it,” said Cornellio.
Aldo fell silent, then threw a glance at the other castle dwellers. They were all silent, not saying anything. They were more anxious thinking about their fate within the castle. Bored and worried like a cancer that starts to gnaw slowly.
“If you need a companion, I am ready to accompany you, Cornell,” bargain Maira.
“No Maira! No one came out of the castle in this condition. We'll find the killer first, just think about leaving this castle!” cornellio said firmly.
“I've almost gone crazy in being here. Please, just give me one day to clear my mind. I've been crazy for a long time to be in this place!” lamented Maira.
“Don't worry, Maira. I'll take you for a walk around here. I heard there's a cool waterfall back there,” Hans said.
“You're serious! Waw! I'm sure I won't miss this opportunity. We'll have fun there later!” maira said with sparkling eyes.
“Stay alert! Don't let your guard down! Assassins are all around us and watching everything we do. I suggest we stick together and not get scattered,” Cornellio suggested.
“We're not as stupid as you, Cornellio. You may be a fool for being tricked by a murderer twice, but we are not like you,” Hans sneered.
“Tomorrow early in the morning, I'll be in town!”

Detective Reno Atmaja got out of the car, followed by Dimas. The two gallant men walked towards the side of the house, where a middle-aged woman was drying clothes. The woman stared at the arrival of Reno and Dimas warily. He put the clothes he wanted to hang on a bucket.
“Excuse me Mom, we're from the police. We want to interview mothers briefly about the passing of their children some time ago,” said Reno Atmaja.
“Sorry. I made a full statement at the police station. I don't want to talk about this anymore!” said the woman was firm.
“Actually there's a little left behind, Mom. Sorry, we will do our utmost to expose the case. For that, we hope that mother will cooperate and give a little information. We beg you, Mom. Since this is important,” Dimas adds with more polite language.
The woman alternately looked at Reno and Dimas, then nodded slowly. He rushed into the house, gesturing the two policemen to follow.
Reno and Dimas stepped into a small, well-organized living room. Though from the outside, the small house in the middle of the meadow was far from the impression of luxury. Neat interior arrangement, making a comfortable impression on anyone who visits there.
Reno and Dimas sat on a worn sofa in maroon, matching the color of the wall covered with matching wallpaper. Many photos hang on the walls, combined with a unique interior. Two cups of sweet tea are specially served by the host.
“What other information do you want to know, Gentlemen?” ask the woman.
“Begini Farida's mother, we think there is one piece of the puzzle piece that was missed. It's about the mother's child's background. This is a bit confusing, as it is finding out that your child has twins. That right?” ask Reno.
The eyes of the woman named Farida were glaring, as if through a wall. He was trying to gather the scattered memory shales. He took a deep breath before he spoke.
“My son, that's not a real child. I adopted him from a parlor. Two babies, not just one. They grow up to be good, funny and healthy children. They are so similar, hard to distinguish. Unfortunately, I already feel there are things that are not good between them,” said Farida Iirih.
“A bad thing?” ask Dimas.
“Strong competition. None of them wants to lose. One of them became a writer, thus inciting hatred of the other brother. I don't know. I can't prevent that jealousy. They sometimes look harmonious, but I feel there is a vengeful fire being kept. I was worried, the grudge exploded ..” Farida's speech was cut off.
“According to Mom, was her twin brother involved in this murder case?” reno Fishing.
“Entahlah. I dare not imagine that. His twin brother also disappeared several weeks ago after receiving an invitation from a mysterious person. I can't reach him either.”
“Mysterious invitation?” Reno is getting curious.
“Sorry, I can't explain further either. My head suddenly got dizzy. Sorry I have to rest,” Farida said while holding her head.
“Wait For Farida! Can Mom give us the home address where mom adopted the twins?”
Farida nodded.
