Hmm...answers and more questions...

I will have to read next chapter to summarize my thoughts on this chapter too. Cause I know that there will be referencing back to the killer spiking her drink, body position, bit of forensics...

Still, I can see lot of thinking effort going into this one as you have opened a fresh can of worms...

Nice going Sur!

Chapter 5

Tired feet dipped in a tub of hot water, which relaxed them instantly. Enjoying the soothing sensation, the feet moved in a circular motion slowly, stirring the water in the tub. The hands caressed the shoulders to get rid of any leftover tension. The eyes found the bottle placed on the bedside table- the ultimate act of restoring balance and tranquility to life. The liquid in it would be preserved forever as the trophy of victory in the final war.

Everyone looked at the photographs of the crime scene, looking for any clues they might have missed. There were no traces of blood anywhere in the house, a fact that Sree confirmed. That was when they glanced upon an unusual picture.

There were 4 knives placed on the long high table which ran from the door to the kitchen door. Rathor picked up the photo and looked at it and then at the picture of the kitchen shelf which had the empty knife holder.

"How unusual! Everything in the house is well placed except this. There were no stab wounds on the body as well." Rathor commented, puzzled.

Arjun walked around the table to look at the photograph. He picked up a photo where the whole body was visible and placed it next to the photograph of the knives.

"Vishakha's body is positioned as if she was entering the kitchen. Perhaps she was trying to reach out for these knives?" Arjun said, shifting the photographs to get a perspective.

"In that case, she should have hit her head on this table itself instead of the kitchen counter?" Riya cut him and earned a glared.

"If she was trying to reach out for a knife, it means the killer was still there. In that case, what would the killer do to protect himself?" Arjun said. "He pushed her at the counter and since she was already drugged, she collapsed."

"Why didn't she try to attack the killer in the room itself? Did we find any evidence there?" Rathor countered.

"Perhaps… the killer was leaving when Vishakha thought of attacking him from behind." Chotu said.

"I think we should check these knives for blood." Arjun said. "I found a band aid wrapper on the floor. Some medical supplies were gone too, but am not sure if they were used by Vishakha or not. The band aid was definitely used by the killer though since there were no band aids on Vishakha."

"We can get a fingerprint from that wrapper I think. But no knife wound would actually need a band aid… If the killer was injured, am sure it would be a more serious injury. The band aid could be for a minor scrap or something. " Sree said.

"That's good." Rathor said.

"This killer can be a female or a weak bodied male as there was practically no dependence on physical strength here. In fact, for a personal motive, the lack of violence is surprising. I think the killer intended to leave Vishakha on her bed, like a peaceful gesture but Vishakha just sprang up and tried to attack her." Riya said.

"The question is, why did Vishakha keep the knives on the table? Was she feeling insecure? Did she knew that the killer would be arriving to meet her? If she knew, was she planning to attack the killer? If yes, why didn't she attack him as soon as he entered?" Rathor threw the questions at everyone.

"Perhaps she was expecting somebody she thought was dangerous but did not feel threatened by the killer and he took her by surprise?" Chotu quipped.

"This is possible… but it makes me think- had the person she was expecting arrived, would she kill him?" Riya wondered out aloud. "This points towards some sort of rivalry to me."

Statistically, women generally poison their victims while drowning comes close second. The lack of violence does give that kind of impression but it could also be someone who is trying to keep themselves well under the radar.

I am not understanding the knife angle but looks like one has to delve deeper into Vishaka's mind to understand what the killer wanted.

Nicely done Sur. I may start bugging for next update only by evening. Till then, enjoy your Sunday :-)
