Murder In The Old Castle
VIII. The Town's
The breakfast was quick. At Michael's request, Helen prepares a simple breakfast so that the investigation can begin again soon. Sheets of bread are circulated, ready to be smeared jam of various flavors. There are also sheets of cheese and boiled eggs. Glasses of milk are also well prepared.
“Today I and Yoga have to go to town to buy groceries. Because the stock is thinning,” said Helen, while pouring water in glasses.
“Good. You can go to the city and buy whatever you need. After that, hurry back and don't stop by anywhere. Avoid meeting strangers or anyone” Michael said.
“Can I contact the police too?” ask Helen again.
“No Police will make the situation even more chaotic. We'll finish this ourselves. In our way,” said Michael firmly.
Everyone at the dinner table had no voice. They were also confused, not knowing what to do. They follow the path Michael offers.
“Maybe there is something you want to buy? Anyone want to leave?” tawar Helen later.
“I!” maira said while raising her hand.
“What do you need?” ask Helen.
“Downware, chocolate, cigarettes, potato chips, and canned drinks!”
“Are beer and cond*m allowed?” ask Hans.
“No!” helen replied firmly.
“Thank you. Then I'll do it without safety!” hans said with a grin.
Tiara felt sick of seeing that, while Maira gave a smile.
Cornellio Sham, who was sitting next to Maira handed a piece of paper to Maira, whispering,” You just write your needs here, then distribute it to others. Who knows others also need to buy something.”
“Good idea!” maira quickly took the paper from Cornellio's hand, then wrote it on it.
“The perfume you wear is so soft ..” praise Cornellio to Maira.
“Are you teasing me?” challenge Maira.
“Of course not, B*tch! Unfortunately you are not my type,” Cornellio replied lightly.
After the breakfast ended, they immediately gathered into the lounge. Large windows opened. The cool breeze of the gently blowing tea plantation offers a sensation-filled aroma. From the window looks a very charming view. The expanse of tea gardens growing in the hills, like tapestries cools the eye.
“This place is so beautiful,” muttered Adrianna Chen released her gaze down the stretch of tea garden in the distance.
“Beautiful, but terrible!” connect Tiara Laksmi.
“Like Maira?” adrianna Chen said, greeted by laughter Tiara Laksmi.
All the authors have occupied their respective seats, ready to hear an explanation from Michael. Aldo Riyanda gave a number of notes to Michael, before the fake detective prepared to read out the results of the examination of Anggara Laksono's body.
“We checked Anggara Laksono's body yesterday. What we can deduce from the results of the examination, the old man knew the killer well. This was evident with no sign of resistance or violence on his body. This killer had a chat in the gazebo, before finally stabbing with a kitchen knife.” Michael took a breath.
“At least we found there were three punctures vertically in the left chest close together. The puncture was quite powerful, so it penetrated up to ten centimeters. As a result of this prick, the blood is lost quite a lot, so the victim experiences hypovolemic shock. The body lacks oxygen supply, so the heart does not function normally. The suspect then pushed the victim's body into the pool. In addition to running out of blood, we are also worried that the victim's lungs are also filled with water,” said Michael.
Everyone was still silent at Michael's explanation. Their faces were so calm, there was no panic or anything. Each one glanced at each other, worried that the killer might be next to him.
“OK, I think your theory about the cause of the death of the old man is unimportant. Now let's explore the possible mode of this murder event,” Hans interrupts.
“Somebody have an opinion?” Michael looked at the writers one by one.
“Harta may ...,” Adrianna argues.
“But I'm sure Rania must know everything!” shoot Maira.
Feeling her name being called, Rania's face turned paled. He shook his head a few times. Nervously he tried to explain,”I don't know anything about the safe. I was never even allowed to enter her room.”
Karina smiled cynically. Still remembering the events of last night, when he accidentally caught the sexy girl with her dark lover was matching love.
“Can we check his room?” ask Michael.
“If it's for inquiry, please!” answer Rania.
“We'll start this afternoon!”

The Yoga-driven car drove slowly down the hills towards the city. Yoga face riled up, while changing radio channels. Almost all the channels sounded hissing and frothy. He started to complain. While Helen who was sitting next to him still looked calm. His face was already adorned with wrinkles, not implying a single smile. The haughty and cold impression was also obvious, making the person staring at him shudder.
The car is the only access that can be used to get to the city or other places. There are two other Anggara Laksono cars, but never used, so the engine is often problematic. While the car with a dark green body is more maintained, because Yoga often uses it to take Helen shopping.
“I'm getting tired of living in that castle! Radio channels are completely out of reach around here!”
“Just turn off the damn radio! I don't want to hear any music!” helen's orders.
Yoga is getting more and more upset. He hit the car radio with his palm. Sayup-sayup heard Scorpion's old song ‘Wind of Change’ streamed from the radio. Yoga grinning.
“This old radio must be hit first to make a sound!”
“Yoga ... just turn that music off!
“No Helen! I'll hear it. You don't start acting like those guests. How long do you think they'll last in that castle? A week, two weeks or a month?” ask Yoga.
“Entahlah. I don't care either. My gut says something bad is going to happen. I've contacted Mr. Anggara's nephew secretly. Tomorrow she will come home,” Helen said.
“Pak Anggara has a nephew?”
“Iya. A woman named Mariah Alray. Her husband is a policeman. Who knew they could uncover the murder!” said Helen.
“You're crazy! Michael says that we should not contact anyone!”
“I don't care, Yoga! He is just a guest there, and we are more entitled than anyone to make our choices. You think I'll just shut up when there's a crime in that house?”
“OK. It's up to you, Helen. Oya, today we stopped by to buy some bottles of beer!” says Yoga.
“Gosh! Didn't I already said that liquor is not allowed!”
“It can be set as long as he gives this!” Yoga smiled cunningly, while removing the sheets of rupiah.
"What if the others find out?"
"Don't worry, I'll give you some money to shut up!”
“I don't need money!”
“No man in this world does not like money. Don't be a hypocrite!”
Helen's speechless. His eyes kept looking ahead. The car has started to enter the city. The quiet atmosphere turned somewhat crowded. Many other cars passed by. On the sidewalks, many hikers mingled with scavengers or even people who disguised themselves behind their evil masks.
