Chapter-8: Last evidence.
James tried to hold GK but he told him to get that man and leave him behind. He quickly took out his gun and ran behind him. That man Peter had already crossed the road and when James was crossing the road, that time he got collided with a car and fell down over another car and broke the glass. [Crack]
Whole crowd was shocked and they stopped there and tried to find out what was going on. One person from the crowd called the police and officers came there. James came down on his feet but Peter was gone.
… "Shit!!"
He was grabbing his left hand with his right hand because of pain. Meanwhile officers also came there and they checked him.
"Sir… are you ok?"
… "Yeah!!"
GK also came there. His one hand was on his head. He was rubbing his head. That stone hit him very hard and he still hurt. Officers applied cream on his head and one plaster. After that, they both came back to their office. Officers were unaware of them. GK was still running his head with his hand.
James- "Stop it!!"
GK was very angry with him because whenever he used to go along with him, he used to become a punching bag. But James was also rubbing his left arm.
When officers saw both of them, they were shocked and they quickly brought chairs for them. They ask them what happened and GK points his finger at James. He explained what happened but they have to solve the case and they have to decide about their next step.
One by one all the officers start talking about what they have found till yet. After listening to everyone, James had a question in his mind.
"Why did he kill them? all three were helping him."
That was a good question and they all started thinking about the answer. Ben was an intelligent officer. He starts thinking like the killer.
"Sir… the killer is smart also. He was clearing all those people who knew about him."
… GK- "Exactly."
James stood from his seat and he was still rubbing his arm. He took a black marker on his hand and stand in front white board. They all were wondering what he was standing there. He started writing the names of those people whom they had met. The maid, The Professor The manager
He also met other people but he wrote the names of those who he thinks are important. The maid was with them, the professor does not know about the killer.
He cut the name of maid and professor but what about manager. Slowly-slowly he understood what was going on and why that killer used the book.
… "Officers… the manager is the last evidence. If I am not wrong, then the killer is going to kill him and we have to prepare for it."
All the officers were surprised because they can't believe on their ears what they had listened. How can he say this? Even GK was also shocked and asked him to explain how he knew about that.
"The killer used to follow that officer. He knew that he used to take books from that library. He knew what kind of book he liked to read. So, he applied poison in that book and he died."
The explanation was good and it was correct also but the question was also roaming there and that question was that how did he know about the book and that officer took that book only. How? James knew that they were going to ask this question and for that they had to go to the library.
"Library!!" GK does not want to go out of that office but James wants to take him.
"I will not go. I am not married yet and I don't have any girlfriend either."
But James took him along with him. They had set up a plan for that killer and they had to stay near that library until that killer attacked the manager. Some officers stay outside in their car and some officers would be inside. They will act as students of the college who came there to study. They did not tell anything to the manager. If they told him then he was going to run away from there.
While roaming around the library, James took a register and saw the signatures. He noticed that there is another signature just below the signature of that officer who died.
… "Ok!! I was right."
GK was outside, sitting inside the car. Tim, William and Kelly were inside. Ben, Connor were roaming around while Fred with two other female officers were sitting inside another car. They all were connected with each other through call.
GK was still rubbing his head.
James- "Enough."
GK- "What enough… you don't know how I felt when I was struck by that stone."
James was smiling at him but GK was happy also because his friend came back and he is sitting along with him. Time was passing and they all were getting tired and that killer is still missing. Officers who were inside, were talking about James. They were saying that this time their Chief is wrong.
[Evening]
Fred was roaming out and mosquitos were biting him. GK saw him and laughed.
"I think mosquitos love him."
After some time, James realized that the killer was not going to come and he ordered everyone to go.
Next day, it was afternoon and the officers had changed their position. This time, all female officers were inside, Tim, William and Fred were roaming outside. Ben and Connor were sitting inside the car right in front of GK and James. … Fred was looking around and water was coming out from his mouth. He saw a burger van but he couldn't go because he was on duty.
"Fred!!"
After sometime, they saw a man was coming towards the library, he was holding something in his hand. Tim was a little bit far from the library. He was the first one who saw that man was suspicious of him. "Alert… one man is coming in black dress and he is holding something in his hand."
All the officers stared at him and hide their faces. That black dressed man went inside and officers who were inside were also hiding their faces but their eyes were fixed on him.
That man was looking around. That day, there were less people. Without doing anything, he took a book and acted like he was reading. Officers had to stay quiet so that he would not know about their presence. After some time, he went in front of that manager and gave that book to him. When he put that missing book on the table, officers were shocked.
"Shit!!"
Officers who were out, they heard that word.
James- "What is going on?"
Kelly- "Sir… the missing book is here. Shall we."
"Yes." Ben ordered them to start but James stopped and told everyone to stay in their position. He also ordered them to stay quiet and let him do whatever he wanted to do. James wants to grab that man when he will try to kill the manager.
Officers were looking at him but that man was also looking around.
"This book is really great. This book has solved all my problems."
The manager smiled at him and told him to visit again but that man did not want to go. He requested the manager to read that book at once and after that he will go from there. That manager thought he was joking but when he asked him to read, he started reading. He opened the first page and started reading and that killer was waiting for that moment when he was going to lick his finger.
"Sir, he was reading that book and at any time he was going to die. Give us an order."
James was silent and told them to keep watching, no need to do anything. Everyone was crushing their teeth but they couldn't do anything.
The manager was reading that book and the man was smiling. Last person who knew about him was about to die in front of him at any moment.
After some time, the manager wasn't able to turn that page, so he thought that for stickiness, he should lick his first finger. The killer's eyes become big and he starts taking heavy breaths. The manager was about to lick his finger but stopped because he remembered that officers had come there about that missing book. He also remembered that this book is that book which was taken by that officer and he died.
His whole body starts shivering and sweat starts coming out from his head.
"What happened? Read it."
The manager found that he was the killer and he was staring at him like a hungry fox. He asks him to read but he isn't able to do that. He found himself in great danger.
"Read it, manager."
He shouted in a loud voice and James ordered his officer to grab that man but he also told them to be careful. They took out their guns.
"YOU!!"
That killer saw his back, guns were pointing at him.
"On your knees."
James- "Officers don't shoot. We want him alive."
Officers who were out went inside to catch him.
