CHAPTER 1:
A new apartment is opened named a Greenhouse Villa on the Street 22. It has not only the name Greenhouse but it was also so much green. That's greenery of a grass and trees. Some Green pots are also placed on every floor. Artificial Garland green leaves outside the doors' wall was also there. So everyone is attracting too much to these new apartments. As I am finding the new location for me so I think it's a best place for me to live as it is so quiet, peaceful and refreshing place to live.
I am starting to live at Flat # 10 on 2nd floor from 9th of May. On each floor there are six houses three on left and three on right side of the stairs. I lived on the left side of the stairs. At my right side,a young couple lives who is newly married and infront of my house an old lady lives alone. So I am so lucky as their is no noice and no distraction over there so I completed all my work very fast and soon.
The young woman comes at my house on my first day having some cookies in her hand as it looks like she baked at her home. It's hot and looking tasty. I invited her but she refuses me saying me next time. I took those cookies on my dining table and when I try to eat it, instantly my phone bell rang. It was an urgent call from my office so I left my house immediately. When I came back police was there and in my neighbour an old lady was dead found at her house. When I went there some people were talking as she did a suicide by eating poison as his son Parker leaves her alone.
I saw at the old lady's dead body her right foot hurts from below part. I gave an instant look in her house from standing outside as his room looks from the entry door so I saw that the piece of a broken cup was hid under the lady's bed. There was no mud under the bed but it was nearer to the window and the weather was slightly windy outside. Means the room swept before the cup broken. I think The cup broken earlier before the murder. Then my eyes move towards her small table in her lounge having a cookies on a table same as a young woman give to me.
I see that police is checking the cookies saying this is homemade. Half plate of cookies eaten may be it has poison in it according to police thinking. They checked her house but as they found that the cookies can't be cooked in old lady's house because her kitchen is cleaned as she never cooks even so they asked,"Do you know whom gave these cookies to Mrs. Edith."
Mrs. Rory said "I gave it to her."
Police said,"Mrs. Rory you are arrested as the murderer of Mrs. Edith done by a poison and we found poison in these cookies."
Police took Mrs. Rory with her.
Next early morning, my door was knocked. I opened it so see that Mr. Rory is standing there. I allowed him to come at my house. I said, "I knew that why you came to me. If you didn't come to me I also went to meet your wife as all night long I also go to conclusion that your wife didn't do the murder because she have no reason to do it. I stand up and said, "Well your wife cooks delicious cookies."
Mr. Rory was looking in shocked. and asked,"Why you think that my wife didn't kill the old lady as she was the only one at this side of the floor".
I: I checked the cookies which she gave to me. It was free of poison. You say maybe she only wants to kill Mrs. Edith but If she wants to kill her so why she didn't take that plate back. She can hid it as the door of that house was all time opened because the locked of her door was broken. I also asked to Mrs. Edith before her death,"Why your new locked is broken too earlier?"
She said,"Maybe some naughty child did this to tease me when I was outside."I know that Mrs. Rory have full opportunity to hide the plate but she didn't because she didn't know anything about the murder.
Mr. Rory: But police found poison in the plate, how?
I: Someone do it after The murder to change the police perspective about the murder. But who?
I am going to meet your wife at the prison.
