‘The hallway was empty. I could sense the smell of

cigarettes getting close’

It was the last thing I heard from her and the phone got

disconnected. Thank you Jain for giving the statement,

now you can leave and please restrict going out of the

town for at least a few days and provide your personal

information to the constable sitting over there.

I headed towards the parcel that was delivered on my

name to my office. I was too busy in my work that I

couldn’t keep a memory of this parcel awaiting for me. I

went upstairs and along each of the stairs I climbed, I

recollected the information given by the I-witness. I was

not able to link or connect why the girl who got

kidnapped called this man who is not even someone too

close to her. Even if he proclaimed her to be his close

friend, the others have clearly mentioned he was was

just an acquaintance. Wishing all my thoughts away, I

started opening the gift box. Opening the gift box, I saw

the photograph of the girl who went missing with a red

ink crossing her neck and a note was given which was

empty. Rushing I immediately called the Questioned

Document wing and made sure I do not contaminate the

evidence. Things started hitting me harder now, this is

not a common kidnap case- if the kidnapper who is

ultimately a murderer can send me a parcel with a blank

note, he wants to involve on challenge the whole

department into this.
