The man that stalked Geet carried a smell of freshly peeled oranges. The man that assaulted Mal also carried a smell of lime or lemon.
Should the photos of the guy match from the dead stalker to the college kid?

Aarya, we have this too:

"I need an itinerary of every item in this apartment by noon. Also, get me statements from neighbors and night watchman. Contact victim's colleagues and employer and ask them to come by station on Monday. And can someone please go easy on the Old Spice? We are at a crime scene people", he gave instructions to the Inspector in his department and yelled out the last part in general direction voicing out his obvious annoyance at the mild perfume scent. A few chuckled at his annoyance.

-- Monday, 8 PM --

...

Since Emily had spoken a little of the killer, the line left by the killer was haunting on his mind. He had a feeling that the killer knew exactly what he was doing and was also keeping a close eye on the investigation.

And the three women ' two dead and one perhaps marked for death know the killer too well.

Why isn't he showing himself in the list of friends, relatives and suspects then?

Should he look at the list of investigators?😆

Chapter 14:

When Maan and Satya reached the station, Deshmukh, Emily, David and Vic were already waiting for him in his cabin.

"Rough day?" Emily asked looking at Maan and Satya who were out for the entire day.

"We have so much information that now we feel as if we don't know anything", Satya said mildly miffed. He and Maan had talked for almost entire way back but hadn't gone anywhere with it. They had realized half way through their arguments that it was best if the rest of the group was present and the fresh set of eyes could do some out of the box thinking.

"I thought it was only us who felt that way", Emily said referring to the others. Everyone arranged the information they had received and Deshmukh wheeled in a big storyboard.

"Let's start from the beginning", Maan said and took the stage as everyone else sat down on the sofa.

"Seeing how murder and stalking seemed to be surrounded around Geet, we thought that her past might give us some insight. Geet had a troubled childhood with bouts of clinical depression which came and went with passing time. It turned to mild delusion during her mid-teens when she suffered her first heartbreak. It evolved into full blown delusion bordering on hallucination when started to report about stalking. She felt that there was someone watching her all the time and that person is trying to get near her. She also felt that with passing days the distance between her and stalker has greatly reduced." Maan said. Deshmukh wrote about delusion and stalking under Geet's name and photo on the murder board.

"During the same time frame, there was a serial rapist active in that town with three victims down. Geet somehow believed that he was also watching her and trying to attack her. There was an incident with the fourth victim who never filed a case. The signature of the rapist was very different and the scene of operation didn't match. The fourth victim was never sexually assaulted." Satya said.

"They are not same rapist then", Emily concluded.

"The police didn't think so initially since they concentrated on the attempt to rape only. The fourth victim's family didn't file a charge sheet meaning there was no case to pursue. So it wasn't investigated and the same evening, the actual rapist got arrested. During interrogation, he confessed to three crimes but vehemently denied the fourth one. He was implicated in all the three he was charged with." Satya explained.

"Did the second rapist commit attack again? And what happened to the fourth victim?" Deshmukh asked.

"The strange factor starts now. The fourth victim smelled something citrus flavored when the guy said - you are not her."

"She was the wrong target." Emily said. Satya and Maan nodded.

"This incident happened in a residential neighborhood with predominantly white collar families. The stalker attacked the wrong girl because her profile resembled another girl who took the same route few days a week. Brownie points if you can guess who we are talking about", Satya said.

"Geet was the real target?" David asked surprised. Satya nodded and hummed.

"And Mal was the fourth victim", Maan said. Everyone looked at him in obvious shock at the revelation.

"They knew each other I guess. Only they can affirm the facts but I don't think it isn't improbable. There is an art class in that neighborhood where Geet took classes. And finding Mal there puts in direct conflict with Geet. It's possible that they knew one another even before they went to college." Maan finished. He knew that the Geet actually knowing Mal couldn't be verified with such a short notice but it can be done by digging into their past.

"Satya, tomorrow call that inspector and ask him if Malvika ever crossed paths with Geet before they started college. Ask them to check schools, interview families and see if the two women ever went to same art classes. Also ask them to check if the stalker is also part of any of these." Satya wrote down as Maan spoke. He nodded once done.

"Even if we prove that they are childhood friends or not, it isn't going to add anything new to the investigation." Emily said and paused to look at Maan's and Satya's faces. "Unless your story isn't over yet", she added. Satya nodded patronizingly at which Emily rolled her eyes.

"Geet did encounter her stalker once in bus and was totally psyched by the experience. She ran home and her panic drove her parents to worry. The rapist was already caught but she wasn't ready to believe that. Her parents believed that her delusion was fully out of control and to pacify her, they took her to the police station and once she was told by police the rapist was finally caught, she calmed down. However she did tell her parents that she was empowered by an overwhelming smell of citrus when she was in bus and that is when she realized that her stalker was nearby." Satya said.

"And the testament that Mal met Geet for the first time doesn't seem very concrete. According to Mal's initial interview she said that Geet came running to her building which happens to be on the opposite side of the campus. If Geet was really running, then she wouldn't go that far. She would probably go near cafeteria and this strip of shops which would have students nearby." Satya said laying down the college map on the coffee table and marked the path on pencil.

"But she could've been spooked enough not to think rationally and simply run around all over the campus?" Emily butted in.

"Sure, it's probable. But what are the odds finding her the girl from her town who also happened to be the one mistaken by her stalker?" Satya countered. Emily didn't look fully convinced but didn't say anything.

"And then there is more. Satya, pull out few photographs", Maan said pointing to the stack of photos he had asked the college principal to provide. "The photographs were taken during college and department festivals and events for archive purposes by a college photographer. There is either Mal or Geet or both in these photos."

"And another guy. The stalker who was found murdered in his apartment", David said immediately catching on the line of reasoning.

"Was this guy truly the stalker then?" Vic asked.

"We don't know that. It could be some guy who had crush on Geet and was pursuing her or it was a very small room making the guy impossible to miss being in a shot." Maan rationalized.

"Come on sir, if that had been truly the case then he wouldn't be always looking at Geet, would he? Or like you said he could be simply gawking at Geet in this day." Emily replied. Maan shrugged.

"But in every photo?" Satya said taking out more photographs from the envelope and spread them on the table. Deshmukh and Emily looked at each other while everyone else simply stared at the pictures.

"There are photos of Mal talking to the stalker in her final year; either she suspected him or she knew for sure that it was the same guy who attacked her. Mal had definitely heard his voice and probably got a fleeting look at his face. So she might have confronted him in the party hosted by Geet's department to confront him discreetly." Maan said.

"The police got seriously involved when the stalker invaded her personal space by going to her room and perhaps spending few hours there. They rounded up suspects and interviewed every guy in computer science department. This boy was also interviewed", Maan said pointing to the guy in photo.

"And they didn't even question him? A stalker's profile is quite obvious especially in late teens." Emily asked.

"Oh they did interview him. The inspector who interviewed him back then even showed us his case notes. The boy was with a bunch of friends and his girlfriend when the inspector went in." Maan grumbled.

"Either he is staging the whole thing or we are all chasing the wrong guy." Emily said flatly.

"But why is it important to find out if the stalker is truly dead or not?" David asked.

"If Geet's stalker is really dead, then it changes the entire course of investigation. Then we have a killer who stalks and kills his victims and who probably knows both the women who are dead and Geet too." Maan replied.

"Okay, for argument's sake, let's assume that Geet's real stalker is still out there, then why was this particular boy was killed? And why is there conclusive evidence in the boy's house of him being the stalker? All the photos he had taken of Geet were put on the wall, his identity was also available in his apartment putting him in the same time frame as Geet when she was stalked and all the items he stole from her were also present in his apartment." Emily said.

"Everything was made available Emily which meant ' Don't look any further here is the evidence and I am now dead. The stalked committed suicide and provided us with overwhelming amount of evidence. Police didn't investigate further to call it a murder. " Maan asked.

"And they were not completely right." David said taking out forensic reports of the stalker. "If they had simply taken a look at autopsy report, they would have known that it was murder. The drugs in the stalker's system didn't give him enough coherence to pull a trigger. And unfortunately the coroner didn't bother too much to look for bruising on index finger; if it was someone who had pulled the trigger for him, there would have been a bruise there." David finished.

"Why are you so confident that it was someone who pulled the trigger for the stalker with gun in stalker's hands? Couldn't be possible that someone shot him and placed the gun in his hand?" Deshmukh asked.

"No, I am very certain about this. Look at the blood splatter", he said taking out an enlarged picture of the dead stalker amidst a pool of blood. "The blood splatter indicate that the stalker's face was facing table when the shot was fired. But he had so much of drugs in his system and in his state he couldn't have held a pencil let alone a gun. He was already zonked out when he was shot. And look at the close up pictures of the wound itself", he took out another enlarged picture of the wound and said, "The entry path of the bullet shows that the gun was exactly perpendicular to the temple. The stalker's hands were covered in blood due to initial splatter. If someone else had pulled the trigger without placing the gun in stalker's hands then there would be no blood on upper surface of stalker's hands but would be present only on the palms and fingers. With only blood splatter, the evidence is conclusive that someone pulled the trigger placing the gun in his hands after dosing him enough to make the stalker pass out."

"What about ballistics?" Maan asked.

"I don't have anything conclusive there. It's a gun purchased on street. Registration number is scratched out, obviously and the weapon mostly illegal. I have sent the gun information to ballistics to find out about its sale. Since it has been long since the incident has happened, we may never find out about the gun given how life expectancy of people who deal with these kinds of things is quite low. But I wanted to check it anyway so hopefully in another two days I should be getting an initial report." David finished. No one spoke for moments as David wrote down about the first murder on the murder board.

"The apartment the stalker lived in was leased by him for three years. It was all done via third party and so the real owner never met the stalker. My people have tracked down the middle man who had helped stalker to find that apartment. Get this, a few days after the deal the middle man went to stalker's apartment to give him some papers and inside the apartment he could hear argument going on between the stalker and a woman. He heard raised voices and breaking of glass. He remembers that evening very well because before he could knock on the door he could hear the woman say who was right on the other side of the door ' 'we will kill you'. She opened the door next and stormed out of the apartment. He didn't get a good look at her since her face was covered by long curly hair. But the stalker apparently was totally freaked out totally speechless. The middle man said that he found the stalker in a complete shaken up state and wasn't in a coherent mode." Deshmukh said.

"A curly haired woman? That narrows down a little", Vic said.

"Yes, it narrows down to two women", Deshmukh said and stuck Geet and Mal's photo right below the picture of stalker. "I am basing on fact that there is conclusive evidence that Mal had indeed met him and Geet might have known him in the process." No one contested the fact and knew that at the moment everyone had to be treated as a suspect.

"Both the women had motive to kill the stalker given how he had disrupted their lives." David noted.

"If the man who was killed in the apartment was the stalker, then who was it at Geet's college last year? There is one thing we found out when we were interviewing Geet's college staff." Satya said walking towards murder board as David finished writing about the stalker. "There was a man posing as a cop in college last year. He was asking about Geet and Mal. The inspector of that area is providing with a sketch of that man once the college staff, Madan, cooperates." Satya added "Unknown Subject" on the murder board.

"If that man was really the real stalker, then there was no need for him to revisit the college again. He knows everything about Mal and Geet to go and talk to strangers. And the information he would have gotten from the staff is really not much comparing to what he probably could have known about them." Deshmukh contemplated.

"But he could have been looking for something there; something that he hid in the college campus back then to get away from being caught with evidence of stalking during police enquiry and over the years things have changed in the campus so maybe he wanted to get that something? Some place that an ex-college student would know and is not related to Geet or Mal?" Vic said finally catching up with the investigation.

"If that is the case, then he could have simply identified himself as an ex-student with a fake name. No one was going to look it up when he met the staff. But he introduced himself as a cop meaning he wanted to know what the staff knew about the case because he didn't know anything." Maan replied.

"There is nothing conclusive with these two investigations. If we assume that the man who is dead is the real stalker, then we need to know who his killer is and how the man who died in his apartment came into this picture." Emily said.

"Emily wait. There is one more thing." Deshmukh said and shuffled couple of files till he pulled the one he needed. "There was an eve teaser who was killed and his body was thrown in front of Geet's flat, right? When police conducted investigation, the killed man's friend talked about his friend getting into a fight with a man they had never seen before. It was common on streets to get into fights and here his friend wasn't even losing. The witness saw the man fighting with his friend but his friend shooed him away. So the witness went home. The next morning he saw that his friend was killed. The police arranged for a sketch artist and the witness provided them the details. Here is the sketch", Deshmukh posted it on storyboard. It wasn't a surprise that it belonged to the stalker. "The stalker was really there when the eve teaser made a move at Geet that evening. So it's possible that he was the real stalker." Deshmukh finished. It was quiet for a while and a constable arrived with tall glasses of tea. It was almost midnight but everyone seemed charged up. Maan smiled inwardly by looking at his team of people.

"Look, for now we know things about the stalker for sure but again it isn't conclusive to decide if he was really the one or not. How about we theorize both the possibilities ' him being a stalker or him being a pawn of the real stalker and see how it fits in our current murder case? By comparing behavioral evidence from latest murders to the past, we may be able to eliminate him as a stalker or not", Emily said noticing how there was nothing solid to start with.

"I agree. Let's say that the man who was killed is not really the stalker. Then what changes?" Maan asked the group.

"What was he doing for this many years then? There are people who came and went from Geet's life and he simply watched her?" Satya asked.

"He must be out of town or out of country then?" Deshmukh said.

"No, that isn't possible. A stalker's whole existence revolves around their targets. If the stalking escalates to erotomania then there are possibilities that the man has successfully injected himself to Geet's life and is keeping her close to him. And with the kind of stress Geet is dealing right now would have him hovering around her and taking care of her. He believes that without him she cannot function properly and helps her in every little way possible. But we don't see anyone who would fit that profile in Geet's life, do we?" Emily answered.

"The behavior is not showing up on anyone present in the list of relatives, friends or colleagues. Even her boyfriend comes out clean. We still need to interview her older colleagues but nothing really pops out from the list she provided us with. But Emily, it is possible that the stalker has still managed to stay anonymous but can be still watching her very closely. For example, he must be living in same locality as hers, work in same company and go to same places as she does", Deshmukh answered. Emily shook her head.

"No, not this guy. Look at his behavior in college and the time after they graduated. His stalking was slowly getting bolder and it turned quite dangerous in the end. He was already devolving and the way he killed the eve teaser was too inhumane and cruel. It is impossible for this kind of a man to become suddenly rational and understanding. He would get more and more violent and given the medication he was taking, he would be severely moody too. He couldn't have stayed out of the radar for a long time", Emily said.

"I agree with Emily, Deshmukh. That amount of rage and obsession doesn't go away without months of therapies and continuous treatment. The stalked didn't have any of those", Maan said. Deshmukh nodded.

"Now if we consider that the stalker is truly dead, then what changes?" Maan asked.

"Then we need to look at the murders of Anjali and Sasha as a different case altogether." Satya responded.

"This would also mean that Geet isn't really the center of the investigation", Emily said. Everyone else looked at her in surprise.

"My team and I have been sieving through the virtual lives of Anjali and Sasha. They were strong independent women who had made a career of their own. Mal was right when she mentioned that Sasha had anger management issues. Sasha wasn't liked much by her colleagues and at times even by her clients. She was fantastic in what she did and everyone wanted her on their team. The number of people she fired was too many to count and people who hated her were also a lot."

"Does anyone stand out?" Maan asked.

"To an extent of killing her? I would say at least a dozen. Sir, she blacklisted few vendors and suppliers and made it public because of which they went out of business. There are many disgruntled ex-employees who have been fired for lame reasons."

"How do you know all these things? Surely she didn't blog about this", Satya asked.

"You did not!" Satya exclaimed after seeing a smug Emily.

"Look, there are too many people in the list and interviewing would take forever. So I just browsed through the blogs, forums and Facebook profiles to narrow down a few." Emily answered in mild annoyance. Satya shook his head while Maan smiled bemusedly at the two of them. While Satya wanted everything to go according to books, Emily wanted to do everything her way; law was only to be used when she was forced to prepare court case which she mostly managed to dump it on Satya anyway.

"None of these people on my list would actually go kill her. Sure people have lost money in business to the verge of shutting down but I don't see it as a huge motive to killer her with drug overdose. And I did a basic background check on their finance ' they are all clean."

"But there may be one person with a vindictive streak who might have avenged the wrongdoing that was doing to him by Sasha?" Maan asked.

"I wouldn't say that it's impossible but the method of death is what strikes me as odd. Someone goes to her house which means she invites the person in and after a while she is drugged heavily. And the killer leaves a vase with a photo in it. If it was avenging for justice, then the killing would have been much brutal and more personal. This killing is so peaceful almost anti climatic to the life Sasha really read. And what's with the vase? That wouldn't make sense at all in a murder done for revenge and it was something that Sasha was planning to buy during the trip she took a month or so before her death." Emily replied.

"I checked Sasha's account on websites that hosts pictures and there I found the identical photo of the vase that was left on her crime scene. She had taken that picture in Phuket inside a small shop. She was fascinated with that vase for some reason and wrote a lot about it. She was into Greek vases and collected a lot of authenticated copies. Sasha was fascinated by Pandora from Greek mythology and how Pandora brought upon all evils to mankind after opening a jar which in modern accounts is often mistranslated as a box. I don't know the exact reason for her fascination but she wrote an interesting line about it in one of her posts. It goes ' What Pandora had, was filled with evil known to mankind and closed it shut before Hope came out. Let ours hold the truth." Emily walked to the murder board and pinned a small photo of the vase in between Sasha's and Anjali's photos.

"The killer didn't have to be present in Phuket if he wanted to know about this tidbit of information. All he had to do was to subscribe to Sasha's blog", Satya said dully.

"Not really. I told you before right? Sasha's blog was private. She used it as a journal and wasn't truly a public domain stuff. There was encryption surrounding the site and it promised anonymity. Let's not get into the legality of existence of these sites okay? There were not more than a dozen people who had access to the blog, unless of course someone got in unauthorized."

"Is it possible to find out who those people were?" Maan asked.

"It is going to take a while but it should be possible", Emily answered.

"Is Geet talked about in Sasha's journal?" Deshmukh asked.

"She talks about Geet and Mal all the time. It's mostly about how fun everything initially was but after her drug problem things started to go downhill. Mal and Geet didn't like her addiction problem and it was a sore topic amongst them. Sasha managed to move out when her candy-man started pressurizing her for more money and started hanging around the house. Geet and Mal were little scared of this new development and Sasha didn't really blame them. She managed to get off the habit after the girl's suicide but she couldn't I suppose."

"What about the entries till the day leading up to her murder?" Satya asked.

"She talked a lot about change and starting new. She was facing withdrawal symptoms and she had made plans to go for therapy regarding her anger management. She was sincerely trying to change herself. But then her old case had started to gain momentum which drove her to a corner. But she didn't write anything regarding stalking or being scared of a threat or even facing consequences of charges against her. She worried about her reputation and the time investigation was taking out of her schedule." Emily answered.

"However there was one entry about Geet about a month or so before the Phuket trip which is little odd. She writes about Geet showing obvious panic when Sasha took her to shipyard. Sasha's client wanted her come by shipyard and she had taken Geet along with her as it was a Sunday. When Sasha parked her car in an apartment complex that was closest to shipyard, Geet's panic had increased tenfold. Sasha hadn't given it much thought at that time as she was dealing with a new client. Sasha completely forgot about it in her elation due to winning a potentially new client. A week later, Sasha, Mal and Geet were having a girls' night out when Sasha brought up Geet's behavior at the ship yard. Geet hadn't responded to her question. But Mal had said ' 'Why did you go there again?' Mal had realized her slip and tried to cover it up but Sasha had known that they were lying about something big; something that could put both of them in trouble. But I don't think she could ever find out what and if she did, she didn't blog about it", Emily said.

"So we go back to stalker again? This kind of adds on to the fact that either Geet or Mal or both knew the stalker", Satya said. Emily nodded.

"There was nothing else indicating in her blog about her personal life being in danger. Once I get a list of people who have accessed her blog till date, I should be able to draw some conclusions from it. Otherwise we will be running around in circles." Emily sighed.

"If the vase wasn't left there with picture of Sasha in it, then her murder would have been a case of drug overdose. And no one would have investigated further since Sasha had drug problems. Then why did the killer make such a bold statement?" Maan asked.

"And where did the blood come from? If she died of an overdose and if there were obvious wounds on her body, then where did the killer find her blood to write on her photo?" Emily asked.

"He cut her hand and bandaged it. Though it was postmortem, he was able to squeeze few drops out since it would have been done within an hour of her death", David said ruefully and showed the picture of peacefully sleeping Sasha. "Check her index finger. There is a Band-Aid covering the top portion. In the picture you can see the blood staining the Band-Aid. The killer must have struggled to put it on her once he finished writing on the photo. Vic, did we see anything similar on Anjali?" He asked.

"That's the weirdest thing. Her hands were clean; too clean actually. They were wiped off clean since I didn't find trace of anything on her hand." Vic said. "But if the killer performed same act on Anjali too, then wouldn't you find her finger print on the photo?" He added.

"Yes we did. The words on the photo were traced out by Anjali's index finger." David finished.

Finally, there was something tangible in this mess.

"What are the common factors in Sasha's and Anjali's murder?" Maan asked.

"They were both killed in their own apartment and a vase was left behind with a photo and words written in blood traced by their index finger. Geet and Mal are their friends and both the women had issues; moral issues actually", Emily summed it up.

"If you see, the postmortem behaviors in both the cases are identical." Satya said.

"But in Anjali's case there is an obvious over kill. If the killer stuck to drug overdose, then why stab her again? And why was she asphyxiated? He knew exactly what he was doing and still had enough time to get away from the house. But he stays for couple more hours; he stabs her, prepares hot chocolate for Geet and cleans up the house", Deshmukh said.

"Deshmukh, asphyxiation is the cause of death in Anjali's case. But if that wasn't done, she would have been dead anyway in couple of hours or even less than that. She was overdosed along with consumption of alcohol. The combination is deadly." Vic replied and nodded at Maan to continue.

"There would have been overkill in Sasha's case too. But something went wrong." Maan said. Everyone looked at him.

"Sasha's time of death was between nine and nine thirty in the evening and the drugs were ingested with wine about three hours before her death. And according to her autopsy report the cut on her finger was postmortem meaning killer was there in her apartment up until ten thirty. He could have stayed there all night without any hassle since Sasha lived alone. But he didn't." Maan said.

"There was an external interruption", Emily said flatly. Maan nodded.

"Sasha was supposed to be at a dinner party that night. Her friend was worried that she hadn't been answering her phone for past couple of hours and that she wasn't at work either. The friend also mentioned in the message that she had reached out to Geet, who was also dinner party invitee, to come by if Sasha didn't return the call in next thirty minutes. The message was on Sasha's answering machine which the killer probably listened to. In worst case scenario he had thirty minutes on him. He left before he could do anything else. Geet was the first person to find Sasha dead when she arrived around eleven thirty. She called up police immediately." Maan explained.

There were two murders with overwhelming coincidences and commonalities. But the motive in each case wasn't clear. It would be hard to figure out the true nature of killer or the killer himself if the motive wasn't known.

Unless the motive wasn't any tangible emotion. Maan didn't want to go there yet.

"What if we remove the overkill part of it? What if we split the murder into two parts?" Emily wondered aloud. Everyone looked at her and Maan motioned her to continue.

"There are two distinctive parts to each kill. In the first part both the victims are overdosed by a drug along with alcohol ingestion which would have been eventually resulted in death. With this kind of death there is least pain and the murder isn't gory; it is almost as if the person killing understands the pain of the victim and gave them a release. It also suggests guilt for killing the person so the killer makes the passing to afterlife as painless as possible. After couple of hours, when the drugs are fully infused in the system to the point of the victims being dead, there is stabbing and writing on the photos. While overdosing part is extremely effeminate, the overkill part is cruel and carries humungous amount of rage. The killer exhibits two starkly different kinds of behavior; guilt or pity and rage and both are in excess quantity in his system. By theory if we assume that the killer's time was interrupted, then am sure we would have seen something similar in Sasha too. In Anjali's case there was care shown to Geet post Anjali's murder, the fantasy which could not be completed in Sasha's case." Emily frowned when she finished talking.

"I can't be right about this, right?" She asked Maan little surprised at her own conclusion. Maan shook his head.

"Two distinct behaviors. Two killers." Maan said flatly.

Shock ' was an understatement.

To be continued.

Sookie i'm going to be addicted!!!
