Chapter-116: Where is the killer?
In the house, everyone was eating food and Ember was looking at GK. She called him and asked him to tell her about the cases which were solved by him. [Coughing] James suddenly started coughing and he took a sip of water and asked her why she wanted to know and if she did then GK should have something to say. [Giggling] Ember started giggling and whole laughing she told him that there is zero case which was solved by him. But James stopped her and told her that he used to solve the cases with him due to which they all used to say that the cases are solved by all officers.
Ember- "hmm. James have you ever solved any kind of case which was very easy for you??"
[Everyone moves their eyes]
Ember was looking at James and GK but GK slowly turned his head towards James and moved his eyes bros up and down.
Ember- "hello!! I am asking something??"
Jane- "why did you want to know? Keep quiet."
James told her that there is no need to scold her but GK was thinking about the case and he found the case which was solved by James alone and it took 30 seconds to solve it.
… GK- "a… there was a case and I still remember that James took some seconds to solve it."
Ember got excited and she pushed her plate side and asked him what it was. Everyone wants to know about the case because they all know that it is impossible to solve the case in a few seconds. GK told everyone about the case. He told everyone that once upon a time there was a crime and, in that crime, someone had killed his own family member and they all had to find the killer. When they all reached at the spot at that time all family members were there including helpers of the family. One by one they ask family members where they were when the crime had happened. They all had answers but there was a man who said something which was his mistake and James noticed that mistake.
Ember- "what was that?? Tell us."
GK- "the killer said that he was looking at the stars through a telescope."
[Wondering]
Jane- "there is nothing special. Through the telescope, everyone used to watch stars."
Meanwhile GK laughed and told everyone that it is true that through the telescope everyone used to watch stars but at night… and he was watching stars in the daytime… how is that possible. Everyone starts laughing and they all turn their head towards James. Ember opened her mouth and told him that James is very clever.
James- "laughing"
James dropped Jane at her shop and he went towards his office. GK was laughing and told him that he still remembered the case.
In the office.
James was looking at the gun which was placed over a table and all other officers were checking the file. … James was thinking about that time when Captain Sam told them about Abraham and what kind of nature he had.
[Phone ringing]
GK took the call and it was patrolling officers. They informed them about the murder at the house and the killer is missing. GK told them that no one should leave that house until they came there. All team members went to the spot and reached at the spot. They all wore their gloves and even they had called both the forensic doctors over there.
They had covered the area where the dead body was laying. There were numbers of people standing around and officers requested them all to step back and let them do their work.
[Checking around]
There were two dead bodies and both the doctors were checking bodies. Albert was looking around and he saw a number of empty bottles and he showed one bottle to James.
"Hey!! I think they all are drunk."
James took that bottle and checked it. Weird smell was coming out from the bottle and he put that bottle in a clear bag.
Connor and Ben both were asking questions to other people and they were asking about the dead body, who had seen them first? What was their condition? Like these questions. James was looking around and Amanda saw the hands of a dead body… it was closed and she tried to open it but she failed. Amanda- "Hank!! Come over here and open his hand."
Hank opened his hand and when he was opening his hand, he also struggled.
Hank- "it was hard to open it."
Amanda found a piece of cloth and she took that piece of cloth in a clear bag and she showed it to James. She told him that their killer had left something for them. … James held that bag in his hand and he called all the officers in front of him. He told officers to check everyone and find whose cloth it is. Officers separate males and females and check them one by one. While checking Amanda had found something more and she saw marks of hands on the neck and found that they had died due to choking but then also she said that they have to take both the bodies to the lab and from there they will find the reason behind their death because there was only one dead body who had mark on his neck.
Meanwhile an ambulance came there and took both the dead bodies from there. Officers were checking everyone and found nothing, that was strange because torn cloth should be there but his officers did not find him. [Taking one heavy breath] James asks Duke that if the killer had hidden his cloth or changed it then he must have thrown it somewhere and where is it… we have to find it.
…
Duke moved his head and told him that they will find him and he also told him that he should not keep standing because he is injured.
Duke- "everyone!! Spread around again and check the house also."
James took a chair and sat down. He checked his stomach and he was fine but still his stomach was feeling pain. He told everyone that no one should leave that place. People who were there all started arguing with James and told him that they did not do anything wrong then why he is not allowing them all to go from there. Some of them also said that they had checked them and then also he is not allowing them to go. James requests everyone to stay calm and very soon they will find the real culprit and they will leave that place. Till then they all have to listen to them.
Whole day passed and officers did not find anything. Some officers were inside the house and they were checking each and every room of the house but they did not find anything.
GK- "James!! We had checked each and every place but did not find that cloth."
James went into deep thought and he asked where they had searched that cloth. One by one they answered where they had searched for that cloth.
… James- "did you check the bathroom?"
Ashley- "yes!!"
James- "flush tank?"
They all got surprised and quickly ran back to the house and checked each and every flush tank and finally they had found the cloth. It was covered in a plastic bag and brought in front of James.
James- "now!! We have to wait for the call of Albert and he will tell us the real reason behind the death."
In the forensic lab.
Albert had taken out all the things which both the dead men had eaten and through that, he found that one of them was poisoned and the other had died due to choking. Amanda was checking the marks on the neck and she tried to take fingerprints but she failed.
Albert- "It's ok. James will manage." He made a call to James and told everything he had found.
James thought that Albert was going to give them the fingerprints of that killer but he failed and now, he had to manage, he had to find him. [Thinking] James was asking questions to himself and all his officers were standing around them. He knew that if the killer had changed his dress then he must have changed his dress. He was holding that torn cloth in his hand and he moved his eyes around… he saw empty bottles. He remembered that Albert had told him that they all had drunk. … He was remembering everything that had happened till yet and what they found till yet.
He moved his eyes towards a group of people and he took out his phone and acted like he was talking to Amanda.
"Yes Amanda… oh!! You found it. Ok… don't worry I will send it to you."
He asked everyone to stand in a row and give their fingerprints. They all got shocked and argued again and told him that they won't give their fingerprints but officers told everyone that if they did not do anything wrong then there is no need to worry. … In that group there was a killer and he was biting his lips. James had used one trick and if he was right then the killer would not be going to give his fingerprints.
