Chapter 3 - 3.The Elusive Trail

Kali Da commenced his quest to locate the mysterious Trikone Wellness Centre. He searched

online for any information about it, but found only dead ends. The name did not appear on

any website or directory. It seemed to be a ghost entity, with no trace or presence on the

internet.

He asked Ritwick's father if he had ever heard of it, but he shook his head. He said that he

had never encountered such a name in his career. He said that it might be a fake name or a

code name used by the killer.

He suggested that they should try to find out if any of the victims had visited or contacted

such a place before their disappearance. He said that he would check their phone records

and bank statements for any clues.

Kali Da agreed with him, but he also decided to pursue another angle. He wondered if there

was any connection between the tattoos and the Trikone Wellness Centre. He thought that

maybe the tattoos were symbols or marks of some kind of cult or organization that was

involved in the murders.

He decided to research more about the tattoos and their meanings. He found out that the

snake tattoo represented transformation and rebirth, the rose tattoo represented love and

beauty, and the star tattoo represented hope and guidance.

He wondered if these meanings had any significance for the victims or the killer. He

wondered if they were chosen deliberately or randomly. He wondered if there were any

other tattoos that were part of a pattern or a sequence.

He decided to visit some tattoo parlors in Trikone and ask them if they recognized or

remembered any of their customers who had these tattoos. He hoped that maybe one of

them would recall something useful or relevant.

He took Ritwick with him and left for their mission. Ritwick's father stayed behind to continue

his investigation.

They visited several tattoo parlors in the town, showing them photos of the tattoos and

asking them questions. Most of them said that they did not recognize or remember anyone

who had these tattoos. Some of them said that they had seen similar tattoos on other people,

but they could not provide any details or names.

They were about to lose hope, when they finally found a tattoo artist who gave them a

positive response.

"Yes, I remember him," he said, looking at the photo of the arm with the star tattoo. "He

came here about six months ago. He wanted a star tattoo on his left arm."

"Can you tell us his name?" Kali Da asked eagerly.

"His name was Rajesh," he said. "Rajesh Das."

"Did he tell you why he wanted a star tattoo?" Kali Da asked.

"He said that he wanted a symbol of hope," he said. "He said that he was going through a

tough time in his life. He said that he had lost his job and his girlfriend. He said that he was

depressed and suicidal."

Kali Da felt a pang of sympathy for Rajesh. He wondered what had happened to him after he

left the tattoo parlor.

"Did he mention anything about Trikone Wellness Centre?" Kali Da asked.

"Trikone Wellness Centre?" The tattoo artist repeated, puzzled..
