I entered their office, started searching his desk. I saw a white ink pot is still open and it's half-filled. A beautiful sketch is hanging in the wall, colourful. My intent is to find out the group which Dia said about. It was just a hint.
In the meantime I went to the loo, had coffee but didn't check his busket where he used to put all his waste materials.
At around 11 am I came back to home and faced the fire, though beautiful. With anger she looks more beautiful, the reddend face active body gestures and the nervous love.
I called from my office to the forensic expert, he didn't pickup. His call arrived just at the moment of entering to the loo. I needed to pee but I picked up.
- hello sir
- yes please
- you called me
- yaa
with a pause I said - I asked for your input in both the cases.
- which two sir? I know only one na al officer.
- I took a silence as I didn't expect he isn't aware about his wife's murder. I repeated, his wife's body found today early morning.
- Oh! Will let you know once I get her.
I went to the bedroom again, saw Dia from the door, came closer and called.
- Dia, it's almost 12
- umm...she mumbles
- I need to pass on an important news.
She gets up and with a tensed voice - what happened?
- Her body found early morning near the jungle lake.
- Whose!?
- Aniya
- What!
I replied - Yes, someone killed brutally and her body was difficult to identify except the tattoo. And her wedding ring. I don't know where did they pick her up but I doubt they raped her too.
- Shit!
