Murder In The Old Castle
XCIV. Save Mariah!
Doctor Dwi cleaned the wound on Elina's neck carefully, then bandaged it with a clean bandage. The sharp weapon had slashed the outer skin, fortunately not reaching inside. However, the wound cannot be left. Doctor Dwi continues to treat, so that the wound is not infected.
Elina was in a semi-conscious state, enduring the pain in her neck. Before long, he shed tears. His face looks worried.
“You're okay, right?” ask dr. Dwi.
“I'm afraid of the Doctor. I'm worried about Aldo. Soon we were getting married, and then this terrible tragedy came. What should we do now?” elina was half stalled.
“Sabarlah! I'm sure that crazy psychopath will fall. I'm sure, evil will fall in the end!”
“Who did that cruel deed? Then he also killed the inhabitants of this castle,” muttered Elina.
“Seriously you don't know the culprit of all this mess?” ask dr. Dwi.
“Not yet. He was wearing a robe and a mask. I have no shadow at all. If only we knew, it could definitely be more vigilant.”
“Actually I know who the murderer is and the motive why he did this reckless deed.”
“oya? Where do you know, Doctor?”
“Remember! I was held in this room for quite a long time with that old woman!” dr. Dwi pointed towards Anjani's body lying on the floor.
“Who is that old woman?”
“It was the mother of that psychopath. Apparently all the killings were orders from him because the grudges were deliberately stockpiled for decades. Unfortunately, he takes revenge on innocent people. The victim that fell down earlier had absolutely nothing to do with his grudge, but his killing appetite was so strong. He kills only for pleasure,” says dr. Dwi.
“Gosh! What kind of man would do such a barbaric deed!”
“That's real Elina! He We must stop his movement so that more and more victims, including us must also protect your fiancee.”
“Doctor, I'm curious. Who exactly is the perpetrator? Do I know him?” asked Elina enthusiastically.
Doctor Dwi paused for a moment, then looked at Elina. A moment later he nodded.
“Who is he, Doctor?” elina Urge.
Dwi's doctor mentioned a familiar name in Elina's ear, leaving the girl aghast. The girl shook her head.
“You sure, Doctor?” ask Elina again.
Doctor Dwi nodded softly as she said,”Even I looked at her face. He was like a bloodthirsty demon. All this time he was hiding in his fake mask.
“We have to go up soon, Doctor! We have to tell the others about this!” elina was excited. He began to rise from his seat.
“Wait! Before we board, I'll find someone who's also locked up with me. I hope he's still safe. My gut says he's still being held near this room. I'll save him too. Can't leave him alone,” said dr. Dwi.
“There's someone else being held captive with you, Doctor?”
“Iya. She is the wife of Detective Ammar, Mariah Alray. At first the psychopath was about to take his eyes and be given to his mother. But obviously it's not easy to do. I refused, and Mariah was also clearly in revolt. Now he is hidden in one of these underground rooms,” said dr. Dwi.
“This is absolutely crazy! Good Doctor. I'm coming with you just looking for that woman. She was also separated from her husband. I hope da is still fine,” said Elina.
“Good. Then let's go through this basement!”

“Kak Hans's. Can we talk to you for a minute?” ask Antony.
“What do you want to talk about, Ton? Shouldn't you be back in town this afternoon? It is not good to be in this castle for long,” said Hans while turning his body away.
“That's the problem, brother. Our car was deliberately sabotaged by someone I don't know who either. So our plan to go home may be delayed. I'm just here to remind you that this castle is indeed dangerous Brother, many strange events that we experienced during the forest.”
Hans smiled cynically, then said,”You're late, Tony. Before you remind, there have been many terrible events happening in this castle. The dead drowned in the pool, the woman whose body was eaten by a dog, the man whose head was severed, then the young girl whose head was smashed by the plunge from the top of the attic. Then a few days ago, another man was killed in a shred of sharp objects in his room. Less terrible what try?”
Antony's face paled immediately. He did not expect that in the castle there were many terrible events. He was silent, unable to say anything more.
“But you don't have to worry, the important thing is that you take good care of yourself. Where are your friends?” ask Hans later.
“I think they're waiting outside, brother. I ... I have to get out to tell them. It's really terrible.”
“If I thought you didn't have to panic them with your story. Just keep the story, but you have to protect them, because until now the psychopath is still wandering and he also never picky victims. I suggest you stay alert and not sleep. It's hard, but it's life's business. If we are off guard, we can be slaughtered at any time!” said Hans.
“Really, I didn't expect this to happen at all. This ... it's like a movie, and I got stuck in it!” muttered Antony.
“Welcome in a nightmare, Tony!” sesquai Hans.
Tok .. tok .. tok!
Suddenly Hans's room door was knocked rather violently. Hans frowned, trying to guess the door knocker.
“Who else is interrupting my break?” grunts Hans.
“Let me open the door, Brother!”
Antony rushes to open the room door, finding Dimas's figure at the door. The police seemed to be trying to convey something important.
“Sorry disturb. You're the occupant of this castle?” ask Dimas.
“It looks like a while yes. Can we help you?” ask Antony.
Meanwhile, Hans also appears from inside the room to meet Dimas. The man was astonished, having never seen Dimas before. He immediately took over the conversation.
“Who Are You? I never seem to see!” ask Hans.
“I Dimas's. Reno and I, my partner, are investigating a murder case related to this castle. We indicate that the current condition of the castle is not safe, so we will protect all residents here as much as possible. For that, I ask that all residents gather in the living room after dinner. There is something we need to say, as well as the possibility of who is involved in this serial murder case,” said Dimas.
“Police? You cops? How did you know there was an incident in this castle?” ask Hans.
“We're cops, and of course we can smell things that laypeople don't know. Where do we know it's none of your business. So you should come later after dinner, because we want to say a lot,” said Dimas.
Hans raised his head. His attitude looks arrogant, but he does not dispute Dimas's remarks. He let the policeman pass from before him.
“Do I have to come too? I have absolutely no idea about this case, Brother,” Antony said.
“Not necessary. Your presence has no effect either. You better be with your other friends. I have a feeling tonight's gonna be bad. We all need to be vigilant!”
