Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 25- PAPER

"Interesting"

"What?"

"Your story,Is there anything else exciting in this room other than your story?"Mr binit said in a funny way.

"Yes, that is my gun let me tell you one more interesting thing I've had 14 encounters in this jail and my lucky number is 15" The commissioner said with a smile.

"Aaa... what happened after that" Mr binit asked the prisoner.

"I hurriedly got out of bed, changed my clothing, and exited my room.I came down the stairs, aunty and Alan were explaining something to my cook in the kitchen but looking at my cook it seemed that he was finding all these things nonsense.But I couldn't stay there for long; I needed to get to office as soon as possible,without saying anything to anyone, I left the house.I got into my car and drive to my office.While driving, I tried calling Neha ma'am, but her phone kept getting engaged.After reaching the office, I came to know that the condition there is more worse than what I thought.I saw Mack at the office gate, apparently there was no expression on his face.Inside, the atmosphere seemed eerily similar to a crime scene from a crime thriller film.At the reception, I noticed the forensic team discussing something among themselves.That's when, "Good morning sir",It was Jenifer;her tone was melancholy.

"Good morning aa.. what's happening here and where is Neha ma'am"I asked her.

"Sir I think you should go to your cabin, everyone is there" she said.

"What!"I ran to my cabin,Mr Arnab, Ritojha ma'am, Neha ma'am, and a police officer were among those present there,but it wasn't Ronit Gliss.

"Who was he then?" Mr binit asked the prisoner.

"It was my past that haunted me more than any other nightmare I could have,he was the same officer who tortured me in jail; his visage was still bloodthirsty even today,that's when "Hello Mr Huxley,it's great to see you again" he said,I noticed that a familiar folded paper was in his hand. Now everyone is staring at me.

"So now you are the manager of TAIS company, nice;so I come straight to the point, do you recognise this paper,don't say no because it's just got it from your table"he said.

I looked at that paper carefully, it was the same paper that a peon gave me yesterday.

"Yes" I said.

"And where did you acquire it from?"

"It was brought to me by a peon",Everyone was listening to us carefully.

"Ohh..who was that, exactly?"

"I'm not sure, but it wasn't the peon who frequented my cabin"

"Do you know what's written in it, Mr Huxley?"

"It's all rubbish" I said.

"Rubbish right, the gift mentioned in this has already reached your office;Crompton" He said loudly.An cop entered the room.

"Yes sir"

"Check the CCTV tape to discover who came to this cabin yesterday and get the information of all the employers now" he said.

"Ok sir"The cop went out of the room.

"So I think.... "But then another cop entered the room.

"Sir the reporters have arrived and are eager to see the company's senior executives" The cop said.

"These people were just missing"The officer said.

" Let's go,before they get a chance to say something else"Ritojha ma'am said.I also started going with them but, "I don't want my company manager's name to be tarnished, so you won't be joining us"Ritojha ma'am said.

"Miss Ritojha If Mr Ravi is not there with us then more questions will arise on you" Mr Arnab said.

"Will you also be with us in the press conference?" Neha ma'am asked him

"Yes whatever questions they ask you here, they will ask me in my office, so it is best if I respond to them right here"

"But reporters can create problems for Mr Ravi"Ritojha ma'am said.

"We don't have to tell them everything; in fact, some information can be withheld"Mr Arnab said while looking at the officer.

"You rich people always find a way to escape by any means, anyway Mr Ravi is not guilty so you can do this"The officer said.Then the same cop came in who was asked to check the CCTV footage.

"Sir, there is no CCTV footage from yesterday at both MRK and TAIS company, and security room personnel claim that a technological malfunction exists"The cop said.

"Nice,good coincidence"The officer said with a smile.

"And sir forensic team found this in the mouth of dead body"that cop put a small piece of paper in his hand, that piece of paper wasn't in very good shape.

"What does it mean, 'RAIN';discovered how he was killed"

"Sir, all the bones of his body have been broken and both the eyes are also damaged and the same report has also come from MRK's office"

"Which weapon was used to kill them?"The officer asked him.

"No sir, the damage has been so bad that it is difficult to find"

"Hmm.. ok so now we must go down, or else they'll come here" The officer said.

"Yea" Mr Arnab said.

We all came down, but instead of going to the conference room, we went straight to the storeroom.There was already a throng of reporters who surrounded something.But on seeing us, everyone turned their cameras and mics towards us.Now I was able to see what the reporters had covered before,it was a big garbage bag decorated like a gift and a dead body,"Oh my god"This was the same peon who used to come to my cabin on a regular basis,his body was covered in blood.

That's when, "Your office staff has been murdered, what do you have to say about this?"A reporter asked me.

" I aa.. "I was stumped for words.

"Did the killer issue any warning to you?"Another reporter asked me.

That's when,"I would like to tell all of you that don't worry, we will solve this matter as soon as possible" The officer said.

"However, sir, this second body indicates that our city's police are getting careless"I know this reporter, It was Mr Aniket.

"If we become careless, then you will not be able to live in peace in the city"The officer said in a firm tone.

"But, sir, four people have died so far, and do the cops realise the gravity of what Adrian's family has lost today?"

"Yes we understand and I promise his family that I will push Adrian's murderer behind the bars"

"What are you doing here, Mr Arnab, a dead body has arrived in your workplace as well, you should be there"One of the reporter asked Mr Arnab.

"I wondered to myself, why to waste your time and gasoline when I merely come here;and you will also get answers to your questions soon, right" Mr Arnab said with a smile.

"Have the police got any clues?" It was Priscilla.I was completely unaware that she was also present there.She was wearing a blue shirt and black jeans,she smiled softly looking at me, which probably no one has seen except me.

"Not yet, it looks like a professional serial killer but if it is, only a criminal and a criminal does not commit crime without committing any mistake, we will get that criminal as soon as we find that mistake"The officer said.

"So don't the people of our city need to panic?" A reporter asked him.

"Absolutely not" He said.

But someone was listening very carefully to this press conference.It seemed to be a hotel room, where a man was carefully watching this press conference on TV, "Yes you all really don't need to panic, because soon there will be no one left to worry about .... "
