Detective Horror

Chapter 32 - The Case On Ghost Island

Lestari asks Puspa to come to her house. He wanted to invite Puspa to go on an excursion.

"Saturday and Sunday, how about we go stay overnight on the island." Lestari expressed her intentions.

"Which island? Isn't two days not enough to commute out of town, let alone the island." Puspa was a little confused by Lestari's idea.

"It's not far from Jakarta, Kak. The island is in the cluster of thousand islands, north of Jakarta. Papa's got a villa there. It'll be pretty exciting if we go there." Lestari.

"Ckckck ...your papa seems to have villas in every region of Indonesia. Truly a billionaire." Puspa shook his head.

Of course Puspa was just a pleasant talk in front of Lestari because he knew that Mr. Danu has more money than he earns as an entrepreneur. It was of course because of his highly secretive dark business.

"I got an interesting story from the villa keeper on the island. Yesterday he came home to tell me that there would be a film on the island. He also told the rumors spreading about the island. That island is now more often called the ghost island." Lestari seems interested in things that smell mystical.

"Why is it called a ghost island?" ask Puspa.

"There have been several times found the bodies of murder victims. It looks like the island is a suitable place to be used as a dumping ground for corpses. There were no witnesses, let alone CCTV," Lestari said.

"It's just a corpse. Didn't they find the body, it'll be buried again?" Puspa tried to think logically.

"That's right, brother. But that's not where the horror lies. The corpses became ghosts and terrorized the islanders. They always feel anxious when night falls." Lestari explains the story of the Villa Guard.

"It seems like a very interesting story. The two photographers must be interested in hearing it" muttered Puspa.

"I mean Mas Pram and Mas Zul? How about we take them there?" Lestari looks very enthusiastic.

"Huh, I'm lazy to call that perverted guy. Last time he called me to meet, but until now there was no idling. You are a PHP guy!" gerutu Puspa's.

"So Brother Puspa put his hope to Mas Zul huh? What's wrong with Kak Puspa contacting him first?" Lestari gave her advice.

"Relieve it!" Puspa pouting.

Suddenly Puspa's cell phone rang. The name Zulfikar is on the screen as an incoming call.

"Long live people!" Puspa began to answer his call.

Can we meet today?

I heard Zulfikar's voice across the phone.

"Can. Over where? But I'm taking Lestari, yeah! You know, if I'm alone I'm afraid you're doing something." Puspa replied cynically.

Why do you seem to be mad at me? Is it because I just called you? You miss me huh?

"That's it, don't flirt! You also invite Mas Pramuja so that Lestari has a chat friend. There's something we want to talk about anyway." Puspa was still acting fiercely.

All right, I'll send you the cafe address. We wait there.

Zulfikar ended his call.

***

Puspa and Lestari had already arrived at the promised place. The steward and Zulfikar were already waiting for them at the reserved table.

"Something seems to miss me so much." Zulfikar glanced at Puspa with a seductive look.

"You don't dream, yeah!" Puspa glared at Zulfikar.

"Here you are, why fight every time you meet?" The steward patted Zulfikar on the shoulder.

"Of course this fierce girl was very different from the meek Lestari. So it is only natural that every time he meets he always takes a storm," complained Zulfikar.

"That's it, Mas Zul. It is precisely Kak Puspa who proposes to invite you to go on an excursion to my papaku villa." Lestari tries to mediate.

"really that? Well, so you're just pretending to sell? It turns out you secretly want to take me on an excursion." Zulfikar again teased Puspa.

"Who is taking an excursion? I'm just asking you to hunt ghosts on a spooky island." Puspa.

"For me it's the same. What matters is that you brought me first." Zulfikar smiled mischievously.

"A very interesting island. I'm going there!" The steward accepted Lestari's offer.

"Of course I'm coming too. Otherwise, Puspa would have trouble sleeping because he missed me." Zulfikar glanced at Puspa who glared ferociously at him.

"What's on the island?" Preacher curious.

"On the island has been found several times the bodies of murder victims. It is said that the island is haunted by the spirits of the victims of the murder. The island now earned the nickname as Ghost Island." Lestari.

"It just so happens that we have some free time. We'll go with you there." Preacher decides.

They begin to devise a plan to go to the ghost island. I don't know what mystery awaits them there.
