"The dead body of dr Gelford is found in his lab"

Yes this was the first line that I heard when I landed down from my flight in india.

So I immediately make my way to it.

Matt Gelford , a brilliant scientist, has been my acquaintance since a long time. But it has been a few years I have detached any contact with him.

" RDO we are waiting for you in the lab, I hope you are on your way" The voice of Avinash, the police commissioner who is also my friend pierces through my phone, he is nice guy, I have known his family for years.

" Hmm, will be there soon" I hang up on the call, but my mind shifts to the crucifying mystery behind this.

Why & how the hell did he die so sudden

A young completely fine scientist at the peak of his career is still suspicious

The moment I reach there, Avinash nearly clamps over me.

" Thank god , you are here RDO, I can't handle this case alone, I needed a brilliant scientist like you to look into this matter, without your expertise this case will have no light" He pleads in a warm tone and leads me inside the lab.

And I am immediately struck by an eerie calmness.....Physics labs are usually filled with the hum of machineries and the faint buzz of electrical current but everything is so abnormal here.

There is an unusual silence and a pungent smell that feels almost oppressive.

" This side come here " He leads me into the main lab

Matt's body is positioned awkwardly, almost as if he had been placed there after death rather than having fallen in the throes of an any experimental hazard or accident.

" What do you think, is it due to some scientific disaster ? " Avinash stares right back at me.

It's not.

That I'm sure

At the same time I don't want to misguide him.

I put on the gloves, and begin a systematic examination. The first peculiarity which I encounter is a series of complex equations scrawled on a whiteboard,

" What are these ?" Avinash clicks a picture and scrunches his entire face.

As he should because.

These are anything but quantum physics these equations even for me seems almost alien in their complexity, and that proves that he was trying to invent something new.
