Murder In The Old Castle
378. Trapped
Juned walked down the dark passage uneasily. The feeling was very uncomfortable, as he passed through the rooms that were mostly closed doors. Actually he wanted to bend his head into the rooms, to find out what was really stored there, but he was worried. He just passed, while still shining his flashlight in the front direction.he did not want to lose focus.
"It's weird this Mr. Reno. This underground area is vast and confusing. Where do I try to find Mariah?" grouse Juned.
After a long while he walked, he found a crossroads in front of him. He must be able to think quickly, determine which direction he should go, the left aisle or the right aisle. Juned was completely blind, not knowing which way these passageways would end. Although he had gone down to the basement several times, he could not remember well the passageways he had passed.
"If to the left, it looks like it will return to the place of the electrical installation. If to the right it looks like it will go to a tunnel that penetrates into the forest. Which direction should I choose?"
Juned muttered as he scratched his non-itchy hair. After thinking for a moment, he decided to choose the right path, although he was not sure if the passage would go. The hallway looked silent and dark, there was no sign of anyone there. The sound of water drops heard out of nowhere. Juned always felt tense as he walked down these dark alleys.
A few meters in front of him back he was faced with the intersection of the hallway that leads left and right. Not to mention that he reached there, he saw a black shadow rapidly flashing from the left towards the right. Juned himself was a bit surprised to see that. He did not stay silent, he immediately chased after the black figure that flashed in front of him.
"Woee .. Don't run you!"
Even though it was dark, Juned could still see the figure in black clothes running away. Suddenly, however, the figure turned, entering a room whose door was open. Juned smiled, as he thought the figure was already trapped and did not know where to run, so he entered a room.
"Hahaha .. Where are you going! You're trapped!"
Juned pulled out a gun and pointed it forward. He stepped cautiously towards the room where the figure entered. While shining a flashlight, he entered the room while remaining alert. He shone a flashlight all over the room, but the figure seemed to simply disappear.
"Where'd he go?" muttered.
Juned was convinced that the figure had run into this room, but why did it seem to disappear? All he saw was a rather spacious empty room, complete with an old bed, table, chair, even a toilet. No doubt, this room was once the place of confinement of Anjani, and also Mariah. Niken has also been held in this place. Juned smelled an unpleasant scent in this room, similar to the smell of piles and human feces. Understandably, this place is very closed and stuffy.
"What room is this?" mumbled Juned.
Juned's premonition was bad, so he decided to get out of the room immediately, considering that he was worried that this room might be a trap. He immediately turned around to get out, but had not had time to reach the door suddenly closed.
Blaam!

"Prepare your mentality! I make sure after this the perpetrator will not go anywhere, because learning from previous cases, the perpetrator always tries to escape. So we'll make sure tonight doesn't happen!" said Dimas with a smile.
"Live it up, sir! Who's bajing*an it is!" cut Edwin who's getting impatient,
"Prophe Edwin. I know you can't wait for this. Equally, I can't wait to tell you directly who the real culprit is. Now let's continue the chronology of events after Lidya was found dead in the bathroom. Actually we did not have any picture of who the perpetrator was at that time. Mungin' an outsider, or it could be one of you. Not at all certain. Hence, when Lily planned to visit the waterfall, we were all right, as long as she remained careful. But apparently, the murder of Lidya was the beginning of a nightmare" Dimas continued.
Before he continued his sentence, he reopened the map he held to cast a chronological order of events that he had compiled.
"At first we thought that a trip to the waterfall could restore your joy, but it turns out that the trip can be said to be colored by several incidents of drama that ended fatally. First, on the way you experience confusion to determine the location of the waterfall because of the signs of road directions that suddenly disappear or are deliberately removed. As a result you are scattered to find a way to the waterfall. Well, next, the next incident was quite shocking. That's when Nadine disappeared while urinating. At that time he walked with Ryan and Aditya to the left footpath. According to Ryan's report, he was unable to find Nadine because she simply disappeared. He was worried Nadine fell mired into the ravine, because indeed on the side of the path there is indeed a ravine or slope if I say. Deep enough, but still safe. It so happened that Ramdhan who passed by there immediately checked, but did not find any significant clues. But after further examination, we only found blood. Unfortunately, the blood was the blood of an animal. In addition, there was also found a torn cloth that allegedly was Nadine's clothes at the scene. Until there, losing Nadine is still so mysterious, no one knows. Isn't that Nadine?" ask Dimas suddenly.
"Yes, that's true. When I finished urinating, I suddenly heard a female voice calling my name. Then again I knew who was calling, suddenly someone grabbed me and dragged me away. I was struggling and trying to ask for help, but my mouth was smothered so I could do nothing. I even felt like I was drugged, so I don't remember anything else. Waking up, I was already in a foreign place, in a cottage," said Nadine.
"Enough Nadine! Let me continue. So after you found yourself lying inside that old cabin, Jeremy accidentally found you. He was so worried, that he had to ask the others for help, and asked Stella to take care of you. Unfortunately, it was just a bad thing that happened. After Jeremy returns to the cabin with the others, Stella and Nadine disappear. Right Nadine?"
"Yes right. At that time Stella was waiting for me, but she let her out of the cottage and did not return. Then a black-clothed figure reappeared to smother me, and when it came to my senses, I was already hanging in a basement" Nadine said with a trembling voice as if about to cry.
"really so. After the events of that day, many terrors sprang up. The first was the killing of one of the workers in this castle named Kara. This young girl died after being accidentally dropped from the attic, after the previous perpetrator of this murder seized Rosita. Right Ros?"
"That's right, sir. That day I was cooking, and then I heard music coming from the attic. I went there because I was curious. Who plays music in the attic? I thought it was one of you. Unfortunately, it was a bad thing I got. Someone grabbed me all of a sudden, and seemed to be about to do me bad. Then I saw the young girl who seemed to be cleaning the attic. He screamed at the figure, but then it paralyzed him, and put my clothes on. Then ... then ... "
Rosita could not continue her words. The parasite looks sad. He can only shake.
"Yes, I know the continuation. The figure throws the young girl named Kara from the top of the attic!" continued Dimas.
