"What now?" Trisha asked. "We couldn't get a single information from her."
"I think she is lying. That's the only explanation." Rajbir said.
"Yes. I think so too." Said Swati.
"What do you think, Raghav?" Trisha asked.
"Confused. Very confused. Talking to her has only increased my confusion."
"Let's go to his house. Maybe we'll find something there that will help us in our case." Suggested Trisha.
They all went to their former chief's house. After searching every nook and corner of every single room, they came up empty handed. Swati even hacked and unlocked all hidden files, folders and anything that had a password in his laptop but found nothing suspicious. Raghav finally came and sat on the living room sofa. Rajbir sat beside him after a while and they informed Bikram about their unsuccessful search till now. The two girls were still trying to find something worthwhile by rechecking the places they had already checked.
Suddenly Raghav called for them. "Trisha, Swati, come and sit here for a moment. I have something to discuss." He took the phone from Rajbir's hands so that he faces Bikram and waited for the other two.
When they came, he started. "I have a question. Dilip Chauhan had a perfect cover right? He was the CBI chief. Why did he expose his real identity? Showed us that he is Vidushak? What was his gain? He only lost his cover right? He was in the CBI for that only wasn't he?"
"Well, as far as I know, he's psychotic. Maybe he wanted us to pursue him. As if he is playing a game with us, especially with you Raghav." Said Rajbir.
"Why now suddenly?" Trisha asked.
"Something is very wrong here, I can feel it. We are overlooking something very important."
"Guys guys guys," Bikram's voice came from the phone. "Not finding anything in this house should be expected. Of course that man won't keep anything suspicious here. He will hide his things somewhere safe. Out of everyone's reach."
"But this place is safe. No one will ever search a CBI officer's house. According to us, his wife is most probably lying, she's with him, so he didn't have to hide anything from her. That means he could keep his things here." Raghav said.
"Maybe he took everything and all the clues with him before he exposed himself." Rajbir suggested.
"If that is the case, why did he leave his wife behind?" Trisha replied. "Guys, now I'm also feeling that we're missing a link."
"So what do we do now?" Rajbir asked.
"Let's go to the place where Bikram got shot." Raghav finally said.
"But what can we find there?" Trisha asked.
"No idea." Said Raghav. "Got to start somewhere."
P.S. Awaiting your comments..😳
