'' But how can three corpses vanish at daylight? and the keys? how did the killer find the keys?'' said henry scratching his head.

'' How did you know that the corpses had been stolen?'' asked maisie.

'' I was going home. When i bumped into a very strange man. He was making powder from silver. I asked him being curious that why  he was making that? I have never seen anyone doing it before. He told me that he had been doing this work since 1925. '' rhett said.

'' From the year the killing started, '' jake added.

'' I asked him why did he choose this as a work? He told me that a person pays him 10,000 dollars for each packet of silver powder. And he sells at least 50-60 packets and he can earn a lot of money from that, '' rhett said.

'' And the person is a woman. '' rhett added.

'' And the long hair indicates a woman, '' maisie said.

'' A woman is doing all these killings? How is it even possible?'' said henry.

'' While making the silver powder a rat came near the man. That rat accidentally ate some of the silver powder and immediately his whole body turned blue and grey. After sometime it died. Exactly at that moment i remembered the body of the victims. '' rhett said looking at jake.

'' Agryria. '' jake nodded at rhett.

'' Yes, agryria. They are not suffering from agrygia, they are being infected with agryria by the killer. To check the bodies again i came to the department. When i found that the door was open and the light was still on in the morgue, '' rhett said.

'' The killer was here when you arrived. But how did he/she escape? '' henry asked.

'' I tiptoed to the room. I saw a person in a black dress. But at that moment i bumped into the table and he/she ran immediately throwing some powder at my face but thank god i had my mask on so nothing went inside my body but it fell on my eyes and hair '' rhett said wiping his hair and eye with a tissue paper.

After wiping his hair and eye, he showed the tissue to all of them and said ,

'' And this is silver powder. ''
