Murder In The Old Castle
271. Discovery in an Empty House
Dimas won't delay any more. Early in the morning, he drove to the elite housing complex again. Today, he will explore the houses of the artists in the complex. After coordinating with the security, Dimas started from the closest cluster. He noted some of the names of artists who have homes in the area.
One by one he looked at their houses carefully. Almost all the houses are empty and not used for shelter, just an investment. Some are rented to third parties. There was nothing strange about those abandoned houses. The courtyard looked unkempt, with grasses growing wildly nearly as large as a human waist.
Inwardly, Dimas deeply regretted the abandoned assets. The artists were apparently excess money so as to buy a lot of assets just to play games. Dimas has yet to find any clues from some of the houses from the cluster he first examined. He tried to surround the houses, from the front yard to the backyard, just in case he found something that could be used as a clue. But all is still nil.
He switched to the next cluster, but he also found no important clues. All the houses were almost the same condition, unkempt and abandoned. The cluster he examined this time was the same cluster as Renita's house. There are several artists who have houses in the cluster, but the location is not close. However, there was one house that caught the attention of Dimas.
He arrived at a house owned by an artist who was located right opposite the house of Renita Martin. The house was quite majestic, but the conditions were quite alarming. Shrubs and weeds grow in the yard, so the atmosphere looks haunted. Dimas had a hunch that this magnificent house was not completely empty.he had found a number of chocolate packs in his yard.
That made him alert. He pulled out a gun to check into the house. He tried to get in from the front door, but of course it was locked. Silent atmosphere, no sound. He turned to the side, looking for a gap to get in, but the result was the same. The doors in the house were all locked. Dimas moved to the back. There is a small swimming pool in the backyard.
The small swimming pool was seen in a very dirty water with dry leaves floating on it. Dimas immediately sought access through the door that was there, but the result was also the same. All doors are closed and locked.
"Damn!" ogat Dimas's.
His eyes suddenly fell on a balcony overlooking the back porch. Actually the balcony is not too high, but it is still difficult if you have to go up there. he did not lose his mind.he tried to find a tool that can be used to go up to the balcony. After a while of searching, he found a ladder propped up on the back wall. The stairs are not so visible because they are covered in used goods.
"Ah, this is what I'm looking for!"
He immediately lifted the ladder, then he leaned against the wall. He climbed onto the balcony by using the stairs. Although a little difficult, Dimas finally reached the balcony. It looks like the balcony is connecting with a room on the second floor. The door was also locked, but there were many glass windows there. The room inside is invisible from the outside, because the type of glass used is Ray Ban glass.
Dimas put his face against the glass, peeking at what was inside the house. The second floor looked empty and deserted, there was no sign of this room being inhabited. However, his eyes were pounded on a drink bottle located on a table inside the house. The bottle left half the water. But that's not what caught his attention. There's leftover chocolates left over next to the bottle.
His feeling returned. He was sure that someone had recently entered the mansion. His desire to go inside grew stronger. Maybe not through the door, but he saw that the glass window could be broken. Soon he was looking for a tool to break the window. The one on the balcony was only a pile of bricks, so he took one brick, as hard as he could to hit the glass.
Prahaang!
The window glass broke, forming a hole with sharp ridges. Requires extra caution to get into the pouring, because if scratched, it will certainly cause injury. Dimas slowly entered into the stuffy and slightly dark room. The atmosphere is moist terrace, because it is rarely exposed to sunlight and the door is also always closed, so that air circulation does not run well.
He went down the stairs on the second floor, then moved to the middle room. How surprised when he found two women in a bound and motionless in the middle of the room!

"You sure we're going right, Wan?" ask the young lady sitting next to him.
The young woman looked beautiful, with the sunglasses she was wearing. The parasite also looks confused, looking towards the left-right side. Her clothes looked official, with a black blazer and a matching color short skirt.
"I've kind of forgotten, ma'am. But I'm sure this road is correct.just fitting that I forgot," said the driver.
"What the hell are you, Wan. This is important, though. He said last night the group of artists had been taken to the old isolation. Well, this is good news for us. We can cover exclusively before other TV shows" said the young woman.
Gilda Anwar, that woman, who doesn't know her? An ambitious journalist who is willing to justify any means to search for news, no matter the life of the stakes. In the previous case, this journalist almost died in an old well. This time, he learned from his mistake. They don't want to fall into the same hole.
"Oh yes I remember, the house was located after SPBU. We just passed the SPBU!" said Wandi, the cameraman, concurrently as a driver.
"Don't get it wrong, Wan! If it's wrong, I'll walk you home. Anyway today we have to find that isolation house!"
"L-yes, Ma'am!" answer Wandi.
After a while of driving, Wandi stopped the car right on a small, somewhat hidden road. His smile widened with sparkling eyes.
"Not wrong again, Mother! This road must be the way to the isolation house!" wandi.
Gilda did not comment. He looked around. Looks like Wandi's right. He still remembers this road when he walked alone down, until finally mired in a well hole. Gilda got out of the car, preparing to check the small road.
"Shall I come, Ma'am?" ask Wandi.
"Yes! You think that I have nothing who protects? You don't learn, when you don't come, I'm mired in a hole right? Anyway you have to come along, so if there's anything, you can protect me!" said Gilda.
Wandi could only nod. He obeyed Gilda's words. Slowly, he followed Gilda from behind, obeying her wherever she went.
