Murder In The Old Castle
364. Dimas Preparation
Dimas doesn't wait until tomorrow. As soon as he felt everything was done, he immediately tidied up the files, then decided to leave for the castle that afternoon. He already bagged one name that he thought was most strongly involved in the case. Indeed, he did not dare to be sure, but at least he had a picture. To strengthen the allegation, he complemented it with document evidence that he would show later to Reno and Ammar. Of course, he couldn't decide on his own. He had to discuss with his two senior colleagues.
Before leaving for the castle, he took the time to visit Ramdhan at the hospital. Apparently the policeman had recovered from the injuries he suffered during a car accident some time ago. Dimas was happy to see Ramdhan. They only talk for a moment. Dimas did not want to bring up the problems that occurred in the castle, so that Ramdhan did not have much thought. He realized, for this condition of recovery, Ramdhan is not allowed to think much. Moreover, feeling guilty about what had happened in the castle.
After visiting Ramdhan, he immediately prepared his car. At the very least, he had to arrive at the castle by nightfall. He can't wait to tell Reno and Ammar that they can take immediate steps to stop the murders from happening in the castle. He realized, a trip to the castle is not a short trip. He bought some necessities at a supermarket near the hospital as supplies later on the road. He wanted to buy some coffee cans and potato chips.
The supermarket was not large, but provided a fairly complete need. The location is also quite strategic, so quite a lot of visitors who shop. Dimas had to queue to pay. While waiting in line, Dimas stared at the television screen displayed above the cashier's place. Again, he saw the news brought by Gilda Anwar. Actually he felt lazy to follow, but he inevitably had to see the show.
In the news show, Gilda peeled about the profile of The Girl Squad which is suspected now in the castle. Even Gilda also reported that it was possible that the killing in the old castle was the impact of the less commendable deeds performed by The Girl Squad in the past. Gilda reported this news very dramatically, accompanied by photos of slides that showed photos of the members of The Girl Squad.
Dimas was embarrassed to see the news that was ongoing. In fact, he was forced to ask the supermarket cashier to turn off the show that was not necessarily true. He was furious because Gilda spread news that should not have been a public consumption. Especially now that the case is being investigated in depth. This forced Dimas to contact Gilda again.
Finished paying at the cashier, Dimas got in the car immediately and called Gilda. It took four times the ringtone until the woman raised the call Dimas. Without much ado he immediately sprayed Gilda.
"Are you crazy or what? You can broadcast unproven news. The data you get is still confusing. Don't mind yourself. You can be sued for defaming someone's good name. You always make big trouble, but still don't want to learn!" furious Dimas.
"You're sure the news isn't accurate? Or ... lest you protect someone again?" ask Gilda from across.
"You don't just talk to Gilda! This time I won't be soft anymore. Channel-9 has often been reporting false news like this. I'll demand that your TV station be shut down and if necessary you'll be fired so as not to bother!" continued Dimas.
"Please, dear Mr. Dimas. This country upholds freedom of the press, and we do not want to intervene with any party. We are not afraid of your threats. We also have evidence. If we are considered to spread the news that is not true, then you must be able to prove which part is not true" Gilda replied.
"Okay, Gilda. I'll make sure your adventure's over. Unfortunately, today there is more important business. So just be prepared to prepare a lot of lawyers, because we will meet in the realm of law. I'm sick of all your behavior. Get ready, Gilda!" threaten Dimas's.
"Wait, Dimas! It's related to the personal problems among us that haven't gone too far?"
"No, Gilda! No personal problems. This is all purely because of your unlawful behavior!"
Dimas turned off the phone and threw it into the chair beside him. He took a breath to ease the emotion. If only he had not gone to the castle, he would have come to Gilda and immediately acted to have the woman's mouth shut.
"Wait a minute, Gilda! Your time will come!"

The afternoon started rolling. Anxiety still crept around the castle.Some residents of the castle chose to relax in the side garden. One of them was Jeremy who felt a little tired from having cooked for lunch earlier. Jeremy looks just pacing while wriggling, stretching muscles that feel stiff. However, Jeremy's activity halted for a moment when he heard a voice calling.
"Jer ... Jer!"
Jeremy looked away, seeing a beautiful young woman calling him. Jeremy was a little surprised, why did Nadine call his name? The woman looked anxious as if something bad had happened.
"What's up, Nadine?" ask Jeremy.
"You didn't see Ryan? I've searched everywhere but I can't find it" Nadine said anxiously.
"I asked Maya and Lily, but they didn't see Ryan either. I wanted to ask Rosita, but Rosita was with Edwin in the room, because I heard Edwin was found unconscious by Mariah on the side of the road this afternoon. I'm very worried about Ryan. Fear of anything happening" complained Nadine.
"I last saw Ryan at lunch. He seemed to be agitated, as if something was being thought of. He stepped out of the dining room, apparently towards the front gate or I don't know. He has absolutely no interest in having lunch" Jeremy explained.
"I'm scared" muttered Nadine.
"Have you reported to Mr Reno or Mr Ammar?"
"Not yet, because I thought Ryan was just around here, and I don't really think he's missing" Nadine said.
"If he was around here there would be, right? Now you have to tell them you lost Ryan, let them move on. Ryan is stupid! Already know that this castle is dangerous even out of the castle," Jeremy regretted.
Nadine had not yet decided what she was going to do, when she suddenly saw Juned walking hastily from the back porch. The parasite also looks restless, especially after seeing Nadine and Jeremy who are conversing in the side garden.
"You must enter the castle immediately. It's getting dark soon!" juned's orders.
"We're just relaxing around here" said Jeremy.
"You have to come in. The situation right now is not good. You better go inside, find a safe place and don't try to get out of the castle!" juned's orders once again.
"Wait ..wait! did something happen?" ask Jeremy.
"Yes, death is currently eyeing each of us, even from a direction we didn't expect. You know, I just found out that this castle has a tunnel that penetrates deep into the forest. This tunnel is connected to the basement we have. That was why the assassin was able to move quickly using the secret passage. I just went through the basement and found a lot of new alleys. It's best if you don't have any important business, get in!" juned's orders.
Jeremy nodded slowly. And Nadine too. They obeyed Juned's orders. The three of them immediately entered the castle to prevent unwanted things.
