Bet! (Discontinued For Now)

Chapter 5

June 15th
12:35
An place near rali

AKSHAY POV:

We all stood near the ambulance as they took away the body of an man in his 30s as he was brutally chocked with a belt around his neck and stabbed in the stomach. Kailash.

It happened in the middle of the night.
We didn't knew when he said June 15th it would have been actually the start of the day.

I turned to see sabita disappointed in herself on how the case turned and upset as we have lost another innocent life.
I didn't know what to do. Ivala ippudi paka romba kastama irruthuchu.
So I just pulled closer to stand next to me.

Akshay:'Kavala padatha. We will catch the killer. We always do'

She just nodded and held my arm as we saw the crew take evidence for forensic lab.

Speaking of forensics. You may wonder what happened to that guy who came in and said he murdered aksahya. Well oru flashback poitu varuvom.

Flashback

Sadvik: Forensic reports la says that he was covered in blood but not human blood animal blood. And there was a dead cow found in the nearby yesterday and this guy (arjun) is also mentally unstable.
And oru mishathuku nama case mudinchiruchi nu nenachom. He's just unstable guy who killed an animal and took the blame for an unknown crime.

We all stood there. With an dead end. How the hell were we gonna finish this case. It's just complicated.

Sabita: shall we make arjun write? His handwriting! We'll see if it matches!

She said with a look 'I think I'm leading somewhere look' She had her confidence instinct face but what captain said made that glow in her face go.

Captain: we can't do that. This is an already complicated case. We have already faced some problems taking this. Some are even through shade at us for not finishing it sooner. We don't need an innocent unstable guy into this. Think of his health. Just let him go!

She just looked at him shocked not only sabi but all of us did. Our captain never spoke to us like that. He always supported our every decision. So this really broke her confidence a bit.

I wanted to open my mouth and say something like we should  check his handwriting but sabi just shook her head no and to keep my mouth closed

End of flashback

So we had to let arjun go... and send him to a hospital to check with a psychologist. I looked around to find sabita holding the murder weapon.

I walked up to her... 'sabita-'.

Sabita:  akshay! Look. So this looks like a limited edition kind of belt. I'm 100000% sure this a limited edition one. So if we trace the shop buyers we may find the killer.

And look here. She bent down and picked up a ring. This must either be the killer's or kailash's. And this looks like a hurry murder. It feels like the victim knew the killer was coming for him. That's why the body was in the bushes. And the killer must have chocked with the belt first. So he won't make any noise and then stabbed him.

I think we are leading to something. Tomorrow first thing morning. Find the owner of the ring the limited edition Ed belt and-

Akshay: Sabita calm down. Ennaku theiriyum you wanna finish this case faster and you are stressed abt it. When was the last time you even slept. I know arjun thing worries you but we will find the killer yeah? Trust me. Ennaya namba matiya?

Too anyone it could be a small thing but for her even the smaller mistakes are like big things. She wants everything perfect when it comes to our job. Because one false step we come to an dead end. Like we are now. .

Why should she worry about not getting a handwriting of an accused? Well who gets upset over that. She does her job perfect. Playful but smart!
And as a her uhmmm well wisher it hurts to see her not take rest. Getting too into the case. Usually I'm the one who does that. But this time it was her. And also this was the captain's order. I must break the news to her gently.

She just took a deep breath and nodded 'fine'. She looked a bit relaxed but I know she was fighting her sleep. The dark circles around her eye were noticeable. Her body showed tiredness.

I never thought I would say this but I have too. I want her well rested and worry less. I want the fun bubbly girl. And I don't want what happened last time she got into a case too much. I known how much it suffered me and her.

But I think this is for the best.

Akshay: sabita maa..

Sabita: hmmm

Akshay: leave this case.

Intha case a vitturu. Unngakanga nan mudikiraen.
