“Sir” Raj called Roy eagerly. “Yeah Raj!” Roy’s eyes were still in the white board before him. “Sir you are right! The persons dead are having a connection between them” Raj was excited to say what he found.
Roy was silent thus raj continued. “Yes Sir! I went on investigation over all the dead’s family including the last dead man kishore’s family. It seems they don’t even know each other but they all are musicians” Raj ended by saying so.
“Musicians?” Roy’s mouth muttered when he wrote the word in the board. Raj continued “Yeah sir! But they are not professional, and playing music, singing are their hobby”.
Looking over the points he wrote, Roy was lost in his thoughts. Raj quietly saw the board and read “M.. E.. G..”. “Sir! The letters in the dead bodies including yesterday that Kishore’s body too we saw letter ‘G’. And what does the letters means sir?” Raj asked his doubt.
“Well Raj! There are two probabilities here. One it is may be the name of the murderer or this name is connected to the murder somewhere.
And you’re point have a lack raj” while Roy said so Raj instantly asked with a jerk “what sir?”. Roy answered knowingly “The five dead persons known each other”. Raj was shocked to hear this and slowly responded “How do they know each other sir? How did you found that?”.
“In fact I don’t know that Raj. But I’m damn sure they know one another” said these words Roy sat silently in his chair. “What we are going to do now sir?” Raj asked nervously.
“We need to do something man!” Roy answered calmly. At that time Raj mobile rang. It was a call from the hospital. “Hmm.. Are you sure? Ok we’ll be there within half an hour” Raj replied to the call.
“Who is that Raj?” Roy inquired about the call. “That’s the call from the hospital sir. The man we found unconscious in the bridge retained his senses”. After hearing this Roy urged Raj “come on Raj. Let’s go”.
“Hello sir! Do you hear me?” Raj spoke to the man who was fainted in the bridge. “Hmm..” he muttered. “Are you okay now?” Raj again asked. “Yeah!” He answered but his voice shivered a lot.
“Then tell me what did you saw last night in the bridge? Do you saw the murder?” Roy started his enquiry. The man was confused on Roy’s question. “What are you saying. It is not a murder. It was a suicide” the man confused others.
‘What is he saying?’ Roy thought for a second and questioned him “Sir! What happened? What did you actually saw last night in the bridge and why you fainted?”.
Face covered with fear the man answered “Last night I went to night show and I was returning to my home. When I reached the bridge, I saw a girl moving near the edge of the bridge.
As it was midnight, I went to ask the girl did she need any help. But when I moved near her she jumped by looking my face. I was shocked and I looked down to see what happened.
What I saw was..” the man literally trembled. “Sir water!” He drank some water to reduce his shiver. Raj came and consoled him “cool sir! Don’t worry we are with you. Nothing will happen to you”.
After he became normal, he continued. “A girl. Also what I saw was actually not a girl. She was a ghost. I fainted because I saw a ghost”. Roy doubtfully asked him “How do you surely say she is a ghost?”.
“I’m very sure sir, it was ghost. Because after jumping from that bridge it landed safely in the road. If it is human means think of that sir. They may have died after jumping from the bridge. Am I right sir?” The man completed what he saw.
Roy thought and asked “Did you saw her face?”. The man replied immediately. “Yes sir! I saw her face. I’m not even forget that face. I don’t know actually, why her face is registered in my mind.
But her face is still in my eyes sir”. Roy after hearing this, he asked him “will you able to describe her face to bring her picture?”. “Yeah sir!” The man accepted. Roy nodded his head to the man and ordered Raj “Raj make a call to the Willson who sketches the pictures. He want to be here within an hour. We don’t have much time you know that right?”.
The work caught fire. Wilson, started to sketch the picture as the way he described. “Okay! Done. Please do see another time to confirm whether it came out well?” Wilson again asked the man to verify the picture.
The man Viewed it and again said “yes sir! This is she. But I’m sure she is a ghost sir”. Now Roy took that picture and found the picture somewhat familiar. ‘where did I saw this girl? Where?’.
Roy went in bringing his memory of the girl. ‘My friends.. No not at all. Then who?’ Roy suddenly got a click on his mind. ‘yeah I saw her there’.
“Raj! Come here man! Go and call that Steve’s friend Mike. Tell him there is an inquiry. And he need to make his presence as fast as he can” Roy ordered Raj and moved on. Raj also did what Roy said.
“Mike! Come and take your lunch. Who you are speaking to now?” Mike’s mother shouted at him. Mike replied “Mom! It’s from the police. They call me for an inquiry. So I need to be there right now. Okay! I’ll take my lunch in hotel. Bye mom!”.
Mike’s eyes were on the road but his mind wandered into the thought ‘why the police called?’. Somehow Mike managed to reach Roy’s office in half an hour time.
In no time he reached, Mike was taken immediately before Roy. “Come Mr.Mike! Have a seat” Roy welcomed Mike and came into the issue directly.
“Well Mike! Take a look over this picture” Roy handed over that paper to him. Confused Mike took the paper and with a glance he identified who it was. But didn’t know what Roy was dealing with that picture.
“Mike! Will you tell me who’s in the picture is?” Roy confirmed his doubt by seeing Mike’s knowing expression after he viewed the picture.
