Murder In The Old Castle
LXXXIVWAS. Failed Plan
Doctor Dwi could only fall down, holding his arm that was pouring blood. The plan he had put together with Mariah earlier failed miserably. It turned out that the plan was not as easy as it seemed, because the figure appeared suddenly and carried a sharp weapon. That thing that made Mariah's mind crumble, she already felt trembling first. This is somewhat surprising, considering he is a psychic. He was more daring to face invisible creatures than to face a sharp-armed figure!
He wrapped his wrist with a bandage. In his mind, now he was very worried about the existence of Mariah. He was worried, just in case the figure was really reckless, taking Mariah's eye seeds. He really wanted to help, but the door to the room was locked. All he could do was to sit still and think.
“In a minute I'll get those eyeballs.”
The old woman lying in the bed suddenly made a sound. His voice was raucous, but quite clear. Dwi's doctor warmed up the molars tightly, holding back the anger.
“You are satisfied with what you have done? Your personal ambition and grudge have taken innocent lives, and here you are just motionless. Are you satisfied with that?” ask dr. Dwi on Anjani.
“When pleasure and satisfaction in the heart peak, at the same time blood is spilled. Then what's the difference between you and Anggara Laksono? Really, what you do does not reflect human behavior. There is a demon riding on you to vent murderous desires!” dr.dwi.
“Shut! I don't need your talk! What my son did was worth the suffering we received. Many years we were hurt, and it's time the pain was avenged!” said the woman.
“OK! Okay fine! Anggara Laksono has been eliminated. Now what? Why should others also suffer from your grudges? What's their fault?” carol dr.Dwi.
“One of them one. They're in the wrong place. I told you, don't let anyone get away. If anyone escapes, it ends. It's a matter of our life and death. No one will escape!” The woman's voice began to rise.
“Basic y'all demons!” Suddenly dr.Dwi could not hold back his emotions.
As fast as lightning he approached the lying woman, then clutched his hand to Anjani's neck.
“I could've strangled you to death by now! You deserve that. Your crimes make it unworthy to live longer on earth. Now I can finish you off, but I won't! Do you know why? Because I am human. I'm human! I'm not a demon like you!” dr. Dwi screamed blindly.
“You will not dare. You are a coward! Just kill me if you dare!” challenge Anjani.
“Don't force me to do it!”
“You won't dare be a coward! You're scared, aren't you? Let's kill me!”
Dr. Dwi's blood was boiling as it continued to be ridiculed by the helpless woman. He tried to restore his common sense, when Anjani scoffed with a terrible mockery. Of course, he would not kill an old woman who not even a look could.
Plaaac!
Because he could not hold back his emotions, he just stuck to Anjani's face until the old woman was unconscious. Dr. Dwi's breath stupefied the emotion that was about to explode in his chest. The provocation from Anjani was really stirring up unbearable emotions.

Dimas walked out of the living room, letting Reno talk to Helen. He walked through the unkempt front yard. He thought, this castle is perfect for crime locations. Its location is hidden from the hustle of the world, making traces of evil difficult to trace. He checks the phone signal. There's not even a little network around here. Then how can Anggara Laksono survive in a place like this?
After the front yard, he walked to the side of the castle. The condition is also almost the same as the front page that is not well maintained. Silent atmosphere. He hopes to find clues so that he can untangle the tangled threads of the case he handles.
Suddenly his eyes were on a young girl watching a beautiful hairy bird that was jumping on a tree branch. The girl was so seriously observing through a camera that she mounted on a tripod. He was unaware when his movements were being watched by Dimas.
Dimas approached, waiting until the girl finished photographing the object of her quarry. After he finished, he looked surprised to find Dimas who suddenly appeared at that place.
“Oh, who are you?” asked the young girl who was none other than Elina. It looked fresh that morning, with a sporty look.
“Sorry to surprise you. I'm Dimas, the cop investigating a murder case. I was walking around the castle to see the conditions. May I know, are you the owner of this castle?” ask Dimas.
“Guest? Hm. Any business what Anggara invited you?” ask Dimas again.
Elina frowned, staring fixedly at Dimas. Suspicion rippled. Elina did not want to just share information, especially to strangers who had just met her for the first time. He just shakes.
“Sorry, are you really a cop?” ask Elina.
Dimas smiled at Elina's words. He issued a police membership card, then handed it to Elina. The girl received then looked at Dimas' face fixed, trying to match the face with the photo on the card.
“Still in doubt?” ask Dimas.
“OK. I trust. Excuse me. At this time I have to be vigilant, given the condition of the castle is not good, so it should not just share information with anyone,” said Elina while returning a card belonging to Dimas.
“Mmm, can we chat for a while?” ask Dimas.
“Actually I don't know much. But all right, I'm just answering whatever I know. I think we're just chatting here, because the atmosphere is not good. I don't feel at home there, so spend more time outside,” said Elina.
“Tak problems. By the way, you like to take pictures?”
“Not like anymore. It's a profession I'm running as a photographer in a famous magazine. Apparently fate led me stranded to this castle, and had to experience many things ...”
“Can you tell me the beginning of your stay in this castle? Or maybe how do you know Anggara Laksono?” ask Dimas.
“I do not know personally, even very rarely hear his name. My fiancee got an invitation to ..”
Aaaah!
Suddenly the incision was heard the sound of a shrill woman's scream, but quite clearly heard. Elina stopped her sentence, and turned her head towards Dimas.
“You heard that?” ask Elina.
“Yes, I heard it. Like the screams of a woman. It's not as far from here. Where are ya?” ask Dimas curiously.
“It seems I know from where. I haven't lived in this castle for long, but the sound seems to come from somewhere underground.”.
“Underground?”
“Yes, basement. Looks like we're gonna have to get there fast. I'm afraid something bad happened.” Elina looked worried.
“Can you take me to that basement?”
“Of course. Let's go there! I hope you can prevent crime from happening in this place.”
“Good. Let's go there!”
