PART 35

Arjun and Riya spend their loved filled holidays- come- honeymoon and enjoyed to the brim. They travelled small scenic beautiful villages, spend days at beach, slept under the starry night sky, did shoppings and enjoyed little things with each other. Being with each other both of them erased those dark days of separation from their memory.

Soon it was a time to go back home, now Riya is almost 4 months pregnant and started getting tired easily and felt sleepy alot as her body's weak immunity need abundance of sleep in this condition.

Arjun is packing their luggage while Riya is resting on the recliner munching on some fruits. She feels sad to leave this lovely place where they had create numbers of memory but also she is very excited to meet her parents and family like team after so many days. Yeah typical Riya..

Finally they left Kochi and reached Mumbai, as soon as they entered inside the house they were greeted by loud "SURPRISE".

But the shriek of surprise from the Shree, Chotu, Liza, Sakshi got halted in mid-way seeing the scene infront of them that is Arjun hushing them as he came inside carrying a sleeping Riya in his arms. Shree and Chotu's jaws dropped to the ground while Liza and Sakshi giggled. They made space for Arjun to let him go to his room while Mrs Mukherjee, who alongwith her husband was called here by Arjun himself, smilingly went in to help him.

All understood the trip must have tired Riya out, especially in pregnancy. So they silently took their leave as they still had to go back to ETF for a puzzling case they had been trying to solve since few days. Due to same reason Ayesha and Sameer didn't came to welcome Arjun and Riya.

ETF headquarters

9:35 PM

"Sir I have checked the cellphone but didn't found a single clue or mishaps. Even the phone calls were also usual. Kahin bhi kisi tarah ki koi gadbadh nahi hai, Sir!" Shree said after analysing the suspect's mobile.

"Kahin Tou kuch chuta hai Shree.. aisehi thori sab kuch zaroorat se zyada usual dikhne lagta hai." Sameer replied staring at the analysis board deeply engrossed in thinking.

His reverie broke hearing giggles from his back. Sameer turned to look at them frowning.

Sakshi said laughingly "God! Sameer I guess you should go and meet Arjun. You are missing him so much that you started talking in your Rawte's style."

Embarassed Sameer glanced away saying "Shut up."

Soon they call it a day as they couldn't reach the solution and it's was already past 11 pm.

Next Morning

8:45 am

"Yaar Chotu humne sab kuch try karliya but ye case tou solve hi nahi ho raha hai. And worst thing is that we know the culprit but there is no evidence to arrest him." Shree sighed taking sip from his coffee.

Chotu turned his chair towards Shree and said with longing look "Kaash Arjun sir hote yahan tou woh apni duniya hiladene wali theory se jhat se Rakesh Sahao ko arrest karke jail mei daal dete..."

"Hey kya re Chotu, Ri apni dost hai uske liye humein itna tou patience rakhna padhega na..? To let her enjoy sometime with her husband." Said Shree tapping Chotu's shoulder.

"Haan agar Arjun sir ki patni apni Ri na hoti tou mai yeh sab nahi sehta.!" Chotu replied with dull face.

"TOU EXACTLY CASE KYA HAI YE BATANE KI MEHNAT KAROGE? INSTEAD OF THIS WAILING SESSION OF YOURS?"

Echoed a loud voice in the conference room.

Shree and Chotu jumped out of their seat.

"Haila! Shree, unki itni yaad aarhi hai ki ab unki awaaz bhi sunayi dene lagi." Exclaimed Chotu.

"Inspector Chandrakant Patil!" Again came a voice much more near to them causing Chotu and Shree to straighten their back, subconsciously.

And then they saw the man-of-their-thought, their beloved Arjun sir standing just inside the entrance of conference room with arms folded on his chest and angry frown on his forehead. Totally showcasing the pissed off mood of him cause of the non-sensible attitudes of Shree and Chotu.

"SIR!! aa...aaa...Aap!?" Both stuttered.

"Now, shut your non-sense and get back to the case!" Command ACP Arjun Rawte in his usual strict serious work mood.

"We found a murder of a 50 years old jeweler at Star-night pub near shipment factory, the victim's name is Shalesh Sisodia. There were three main suspects for this murder.

Suspect No.1 Leena Sisodia, Shalesh's to-be ex-wife. Their relationship had never been good since 3 years. And had been living separate since a year, recently applied for divorce. She would be the most benefited with the victim's death but her alibi proved her innocent as she was with her lawyer discussing to find ways to snatch away the property.

Suspect No.2 Sandy, a small drug peddler. There were few transactions between victim and him. But he was at the local police that day because of some fight.

Suspect No.3 Rakesh Sahao, a 34 year old small-firm lawyer. And our main suspect. He had bought some artifacts from Sisodia's jewelry shop and later became very close acquaintance of Sisodia. He said he was at home and had being watching movie at the time murder at a very high volume which had caused complaints from his neighbours. He was very direct about his alibi which can't be called truth." Shree sat on his chair after concluding the case.

"Hmm. Tm log ko neighbours se wahi reply Mila hoga jo woh chahta tha right?" Arjun asked looking at analyst board.

"Bilkul sir. Yahan tak ke colony ka secretary tou bharak bhi raha tha uspar." Replied Chotu.

"Aur problem ye hai Rawte, ke hamare pass koi evidence ya witness nahi hai ye prove karne ke liye ke Rakesh ghar pe nahi uss pub mei tha. Lekin hamari saari theory uspar hi point kar rhi hai." Rathod said passing the file of phone details to Arjun, and added

"Aur ye phone details ka bahana bhi uske pas ready tha, ke uska phone chori hogya ussi din. Aur agle din FIR bhi karayi hai."

"And now he is out of our radar. We can't contact him, neither find him anywhere at his home, office, pub." Said Ayesha shaking her head.

"Sir victim ki body par hume kuch finger prints mile the and it did match with Sahao but we can't say that it was the finger prints of criminal as there were many finger prints of the body and his possessions." Liza said handling the forensic report to Arjun.

"Okay. Let's start the case from beginning. Sabse pehle hume Shalesh aur Rakesh ka ghar phir se search karna hoga. Kuch tou hoga wahan jo hamari nazron se chut rha hai. Let's go." Arjun said standing up.

"Yes Sir/Okay Arjun!" Replied everyone except Sameer.
