Chapter 3 - The First Sight

Around 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon , Yash reached the crime scene at Pran Apartments, No.2 Brinda Avenue , the university campus was just beside it . Approx 15 minutes ago he had got a call from a financial agent and he rushed off after hearing that someone was there to kill him . He knew since the murderer was already there , the murder had been done .

Yet when he reached there , he was surprised to see the criminal was still there , all over bloodstained , sitting on a couch , papers were scattered all around him and at that moment he seemed to be in another world . Yash formally ordered him not to move and whatever daydream the man was in he had been snapped out .

Seeing the officer with gun in his hand , the murderer was horrified . Yash was still near the door , the couch was near the broad window facing the university campus .

"Damn! he has a chance to escape."  Yash thought . As if the criminal could read his mind , did a back flip and at once was out of the window , landing straight on the campus wall .

Yash knew the campus very well . For any irregular person the campus would be a maze but not for himself . If he started to chase the man it might have cost some professor's or student's life . "Okay , give him some time to reach the Main Gate Lane . It'll be easy to catch him there" Yash thought .

He carefully checked all the scattered papers in just few seconds . He was very much capable in studying , his mind , eyes always had worked at the same speed of his fingers passing through the papers . Those were all bonds papers " too much to investigate " he thought . Then he checked the dead body on the kitchenette floor , the agent was brutally tortured before his throat had been cut open . "So the murderer didn't prefer sure death, but was badly triggered by something or someone !" He thought.

A call entered his phone , the screen read Commissioner , Yash picked up the call.

The person from the other side said "Mr. Raj leave the apartment , it's about time , if you get there any minute later you will regret . I don't want you to fail at any cost . Do you understand me ?"

The voice was tensed and urgent , something seemed wrong to Yash , he asked,

"Is everything fine? Your voice doesn't seem right..."

"You're noticing too much , Mr. Gupta is already on his way to the crime scene , so no more talk , off you go ." The person coldly said and the call ended .

A frown rose between Yash's thick eyebrows , he quickly checked all the scene again as if something was missing but couldn't waste another minutes so he left the apartment to catch the murderer .

Carefully hidden in the shadows of the buildings when he reached the Main Gate Lane , a few students were still wandering around . To his astonishment a young man getting up from a sidewalk bench started to follow the murderer . Yash tensed and cautiously started following too .

"That young man must be crazy , following a murderer without any defence , huh! Don't create problems for me...."  Yash was thinking , suddenly the murderer turned around , met his eyes and the chase started .

The main gate security guard was not on duty .

"Wow! what a crazy mess. A person following the criminal while I am lagging behind ! The guards are sleeping ..."

Yash was thinking while they were on the road to the highway .

At the First Corner Point a truck appearing from nowhere hit the murderer and he was dead in seconds .

The young man stopped abruptly and Yash came to stop just beside him . Looking at the dead body Yash knew he couldn't do anything so the more important and mysterious matter was the young man beside him .

Yash started observing "he definitely isn't a professor , but he can't be a student either , look at his hair , uhhh! "

Looking at those silky jet black , a little messy hair Yash had a urge to ruffle them . Then his eyes fell on the creamy white face , the paleness caused a frown in his eyebrows , he clearly wanted to sooth the angelic face . Yash saw the man's long eyelashes just under the thick eyebrows were shadowing the glossy warm brown brown pupils . Yash was shocked to see the man beside him wasn't taking breath .

Hesitantly keeping his hand on the young man's shoulder , he asked "Hey man, are you okay ? You are not breathing ! "

The young man suddenly sprinted and ran away from there even without looking around for once .

"Wow! what a stupid speak! so he is afraid , but for what ? Why are you caring Raj ? ! He didn't even notice you ! That's okay , I'm not going to let it go , not again ! You wait man , now that you are in my watch , let's see how far you can run ? !" Yash thought , a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
