Room No. 403

Writer's POV:-

Observations are the best way to understand anything deeply. You may or may not get every detail babbled to you, fully, but the observations of your brain and body might push you closer to the desired outcome. 

However, this technique also has many pros and cons as sometimes your mind makes you pick up those details which will only complicate the matter, diverting you in the long term. This often delays the chances of the early and accurate conclusion of the matters. 

One has to be very definite and clear about their way of observation for further processing and analysis of the details collected.

We have even seen and heard many times about how a particular detective or an officer thinks about any incident! How differently they assume the scene before solving the cases! All these are not just mere assumptions of some on-mission people; those are the experience, strategy, and technique they have developed and got habituated of by their sharp observing skills. 

They tend to notice every single thread and hook without fail. And, not to forget the true companion of them while dealing with any and everything are the always alert mind and body.

The official team was standing outside of the room that happened to be the crime spot, observing even trivial things. Being in the police department — Crime Branch precisely — they instinctively start observing every subject and object around them. This has become a part of their life and they are used to it now.

A wide yellow tape was fixed around the door with words — 'POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS' — written and repeated in broad capital letters on it. Two photographers, wearing PPE, were continuously capturing the scene and the spot for further investigation so that no minor details were left unattended. A white outline has been drawn around the dead bodies to mark the place and posture.

Three pillows — two big in white and a small in violet colour — and a purple silk duvet were almost torn and scattered over the king-size bed. All the items from the nearby wooden dressing table were scattered here and there. The bookshelf was in a tilted state with two books falling off.

With a golden knob attached to the front, the door was left ajar by the investigation team that reached immediately after learning about the murder, to collect samples and the bodies.

"Names — Shivin Kashyap and Madri Kashyap. Age — Shivin 50 and Madri 48. Address — House - 6A, Street 16, Olive Road. Other information — Mr. And Mrs. Kashyap have only one daughter, Aarna Kashyap — age 22 — who has been missing since last night. She had also checked in with them. One most important thing, they — the dead ones — are the younger brother and sister-in-law of the owner of this hotel." Jwala read the primary identification details she collected from the hotel staff, of the victims.

ACP Varnan gave a curt nod to her keeping an eye on the front and moved forward wearing his gloves, shoe protectors, and face & hair masks. 

The chances of getting infected by any suspicious or microbial agent present on dead bodies are often higher, especially in murder cases.

Other officials were also wearing safety kits such as face & hair masks along with gloves and shoe protectors.

"Room No. 403" Varnan read the board affixed on the burgundy coloured wooden door of silky texture. He had a look at the position of two dead bodies.

Lying on their front, the bodies had their hands held together as the man's right hand was holding the left hand of the woman, giving an idea of the couple trying to get closer to each other before death.
