Soul a mystery

Ch 4 - Another Murder

A magnificent bungalow located in Consoli. Even though most of the homes in the area were nice, this bungalow was the biggest and most opulent. The "D'Souza House" is the home to the town's most powerful man. The majority of Peter D'Souza's assets were inherited, but he never allowed his firm to deteriorate; instead, it grew and helped him pay for his second-place work.

A 70-year-old woman was seated in a room on the second floor of D'Souza House while a young woman was mopping the floor.

Has the water tub been opened? Speaking to her maid was the woman whose name was Mary.

The maid said, "I'll open it immediately," and ran to use the restroom as the owner started listing all of her maid's previous faults. Mary appeared irritated at the scene and did not view her servants and maids just as human beings. On the other hand, the maid turned on the hot and cold water faucets in the bathtub, opened them, and then left.

"Why are you still here?" I won't have to wait for breakfast if your father makes it. " Mary yelled at her servant.

I'll get there soon. The maid responded in shock.

"Get down there and prepare my breakfast. I'll be here to take a bath. These slaves didn't accomplish a single task. The maid hurried downstairs when Mary sobbed once again. Mary began to go gently in the direction of the restroom while using her stick as assistance. A shadow entered the bathroom as Maryam was busy frightening her maidservant. Kamala saw the identical soul Kamala had seen on that occasion. That soul had a 2-liter bottle in one hand. Open the bottle's lid and combine all of the liquids inside with the tub's water.

When Mary opened the door, nothing was unusual—there was no bottle or shadow. Mary relaxed in the tub after taking off her clothing. She repeatedly bathed her face with the water, dipped her head in it so that it would also soak up some water, and then laid down with ease, her neck resting on the top of it.

Mary opened her eyes as soon as she knew someone was in the restroom and saw the same spirit standing in front of her. A frightening, tormented visage. This time the shadow did not vanish; instead, she stood there grinning while Mary strained in vain to scream and stand up. Mary's eyes were torn with terror and amazement. Even more than that, she was unable to speak or even move. Mary's entire body appeared to be immobilized. The soul, on the other hand, pulled out a match, lit it, and dropped it into the tub.

"Fake" was mixed with "water" in the tub's water, and the mixture ignited. Mary started to burn in the fire as it covered the entire tub, and she watched the scene while savoring the spectral shade.

The maid prepared the dinner and set the table while working downstairs on the opposite side, and turned to face the time. He then turned to face the stairs. He thought Mary ought to have come down by now. But she still hadn't arrived. She climbed a ladder thinking, "I'm going to call," but she stopped thinking, "If I go, the elderly lady will cry again," right away. She resumed her domestic duties after returning. He eventually noticed that the meal was becoming cold. However, Maryam still refused to descend, causing the maid's humanity to awaken. Do you realize the foot has slid, he inquired, adding, "I'll come after seeing you?" Or is there another justification for the ailing and old body's faith?

When the phone rang, she picked it up as she was ready to head upstairs. Peter owned the telephone. On the phone, the master and the servant had the same discussions. The maid left the phone behind and walked upstairs. scanned the space. No one was present. She headed for the restroom. opened the door, and then what?

ü ü ü ü ü

When the phone rang, all four had just arrived, sat down, and a soldier had already left after serving tea. The chief took the call from the head; the chief spoke little or nothing at all, but everyone could see that his face had changed colour. He immediately rose up while holding the phone.

"Another homicide occurred," Pradhan spoke in an unrelated manner.

"Whose? When and how? All three of them asked questions at once.

I'm Mary D'Souza, mother of Peter. He was the first to learn that one of our patrol cars was moving because it was his phone.

"Let's leave." Once Riya, Aditya, and Vikram stood up, they all quickly fled.

ü ü ü ü ü

The patrol vehicle and Peter's vehicle were already parked inside the "D'Souza residence." They had all entered.

"You arrived now? A powerful voice drew everyone in, not just the head.

Peter's voice could be heard, and he didn't sound pleased with the police job. The chief anticipated that Peter would challenge him, and the exact thing transpired.

I'm not sure who made you a police officer. It was amusing that anyone should even consider the D'Souza family while Dewan was in command there. Peter said with rage.

I am a police officer because of my own abilities, not because someone else recommended me. In an amusing tone, the chief said.

"I can see how strong you are." Peter was now irritated as well. If there had been a Diwan, the murderer would already be in jail, Peter claimed.

Aditya stopped Pradhan by putting his hand on his shoulder just as he was about to say something. Peter was right to be angry because both his mother and wife had passed away. While Aditya and Pradhan went upstairs, Peter continued to talk. There was also Riya and Vikram present.

As the four of them entered the restroom, the fire department had just given the entire space a thorough cleaning. Both a corpse and water were missing from the tub.

The corpse was taken out of the water, too, along with the shroud. Evidence tampering is the practice of doing this.

Where is the tub's water, you ask? The chief yelled furiously. Peter was irate at this point.

In an amusing tone, the chief said"Yes. That was taken away. With anxiety, the soldier answered.

"Why?" Again, the chief inquired.

"The dead body ached! So!" Still uneasy was the soldier.

"According to Peter Sir, each of these. The second policeman explained the matter right away in order to avoid the chief's punishment.

Aditya gave Pradhan a puzzled and startled glance. The chief was indignant when he noticed how he was staring at himself. At Peter's request, the policemen unintentionally destroyed the evidence.

Are you employed by Peter or by the government? The chief became enraged. In any case, Peter had messed with the chief's head. He now began to vent his rage at his troops.

What can you do now? Leave what has transpired." While speaking, Vikram approached Pradhan. She said quietly as she held her shoulder.

I will discuss it on the way to the train station.

Where is the tub's water thrown? Check it out yourself. Check the tub's piping as well; you should find some water there, to confirm. Riya and Vikram are instructed by Aditya. They both continued working. Everyone else was working hard as well. I first noticed the corpse, which was entirely burned, then examined the bathtub. Aditya was using her hands to peer into the bathtub. He would repeatedly place his hand next to his nose and take a sniff. Aditya did not even have an explanation for the odd fragrance that pervaded the entire bathroom at the moment; it was particularly overpowering inside the tub. The water drain valve then caught his attention. There was a lit matchstick in the gap between the valve and the tub.

They spent a long time looking here and there and questioning people while collecting their statements. Different people questioned that maid in different ways. The readers only know what the maid informed them about what transpired. The maid did not see the soul, so she did not report it, and the person who did see it was dead. In addition, the dead don't confess. They all returned to the police station after completing all the requirements. The post-mortem report, forensic report, witness statements, etc., took two full days to obtain. Once they had completed all of their work, they once more began talking among themselves. However, no outcome was achieved. Aditya disregarded the tale of the soul. The fact that the murder was committed as part of a well-planned plot was instead established. Nevertheless, some police officers have been known to mute their tongues when asserting that this is unquestionably the work of a spirit. The D'Souza family was widely believed to be receiving justice for their actions throughout the city.
