Huh?"The boy says, without having any idea about what was going on.
"Anyways, did you see his face? Can you recognize him? " Sid asks.
"Actually no. He was all covered in black. He had his mask, his gloves and….yeah the cap on him. I could not see him properly"
"Well then. What about his height? "Jake asks.
"The height…. I am guessing it around the same aa you"
"Aahaa!"Jake replies and then continues" Did you get a smell when he was around you? Like perfume or something? "
"Umm….something not very strong… aah.. Sandalwood! "
"I think you have already said enough to us enough. Thanks "Jake says with a huge smile on his face.
The boy went running inside the restaurant to continue his work.
" Hey,What was going on? "
"It will be easier to find him now. We got a clue"
"What clue? Sandalwood? Don't tell me….this is used by millions around the world, Jake.. "
"We know his height ,isn't it?"
"That's not a big deal as well"
"It is. I know he will be trying to follow me again and we just need to locate him. He just needs to make one mistake. "
"Okay,okay...now let's go back to the office. We have to see that driver as well. " Sid reminds him.
"Oh yes"
All the way to his office, Jake was still busy figuring out the reason behind this whole issue. He didn't do anything to annoy someone, recently. Besides, it's not just him who is trying to solve the case. It includes four other officers. They have not been attacked.
Jake even presumed that it could be Miss Gill but he knew she had been sent to the mental clinic recently.
The other people include the murderer who killed Mr. Carl. He must be the one. He taught and then realized that he would never do that unless someone orders him.
Apparently, who can order him rather than the politician. Jake even talked about him to Mr. Dayal. This even matches well with the situation.
But there still lies one thing, which was not clear yet. How did he come to know what Jake said to Dayal. Unless….
Jake is taken aback by the sudden wiggle on his shoulder. It was Sided on the drivers seat.
"We are here" He says.
"Huh? " Jake gasped.
"What are you thinking? " Sid unbelted his seat belt and reached for some documents on the back seat.
"Oh… I…I… nothing" He said,stammering.
"Let's go now"
They entered the interrogation room and found that the driver was already being questioned. This time Mr. Dayal himself was doing the task.
"We will later show the things we found lately. " Sam said as soon as she saw them entering.
"I am not sure about the knife but the glove can be helpful. " Jake says.
"Hey, where is Mr. Loy? " Sid asks as he puts the documents on the table.
"He didn't join us today. He has to work on some other case"Mon immediately replies.
" What did the doctor say? "Sam asks, looking at Jake.
" She said… it was a drug!"
Before they could give any reaction he continues to say"that stays for about thirty minutes and makes you pass out. Here is the prescription, see for yourself "he hands it to Sam.
" Oh"Mon and Sam say in unison.
"And the delivery boy said he gave the food to someone else who was at the gate. Seemingly, he must be the one who did something to the food. "Sid adds.
" Jake, you have got no security in your house. Anyone can enter your place as they wish. "Mon says.
" It's a flat. I'm not the only one staying there. "
"We can check the CCTV footage, right? " Sam suggests.
"We can but I'm not sure if he left any camera working. Like he did earlier. "
"Are you saying, it's the same person who killed the lawyer? "
Not the same maybe. But it can be connected. "Jake says, sighing.
'Can you recognize any of these'
Everyone's attention went straight to Mr. Dayal who was on the other side of the glass shield said to the driver.
Dayal shows him the gloves and knife. The person didn't seem to recognize the knife but he did concentrate on the glove.
Then said, 'no… I have never seen these things! '
'Huh'Dayal says, laughing at his dumb reply.
'Boy, you never cook! Is that what you mean? Or did you never enter the kitchen? 'He says with a chuckle.
'No that's not what I meant'
'Anyways, these gloves… are you sure you have never seen them' he says,pushing it towards his side.
"I wonder if he got any scratch marks on his hands? " Jake says.
Mr. Dayal immediately got what Jake meant to say and observed his hands carefully. However, there was nothing in them.
"How can we proof that this attack was related to the murder? " Sam says, grabbing everyone's attention back from the screen.
"Hey! Can we see if the size of the knife matches with the wound cut of Mr. Carl? I mean according to how deep the stabs were."
Jake asks and smiles sheepishly.
"We can, actually" Mon says.
"Did you have some training or something, Jake?" Sid comments, sarcastically.
"No! "
Later, after the driver had already left they checked the postmortem reports. It clearly says how broad the knife was. They were matching the one they got at Jake's House.
"Now we are sure about this" Dayal, who also joined them said.
"Yes, but we need to check the CCTV footage at Jake's apartment.Hope we see something there. " Sam says.
"Let's not hope for that. We have to be prepared with another plan after this. " Jake says with a grim smile.
