A Mystery quest !

The breaking of human skull

"Hey, here you are." Scarlett said to Ben seeing him in front of her. Ben didn't say anything and just went inside. Scarlett was looking Ben with a confused face. Soon, everyone came in the hall.

Jason was looking restless. He said to Ben,"Glad you are here. My brother Jones is missing from 2-3 days. I don't know where he is. I went to the police station. They lodged a complaint. But, I am getting freaked out." Ben was just wondering that if Jones went missing and Jason is reacting this much what will happen when the latter will hear the news of his brother's death?

Ben took 2-3 deep breaths and said,"I am afraid that I know what happened to Jones." Jason was getting curious. Tension started piling up on his face.

"Where is my bro?" This was all that he asked. Ben replied with his eyes closed,"Unfortunately, Jones has stopped breathing this morning and the doctors declared the body as 'dead'. I am soo sorryyy."

Ben's words brought Jason into a cruel world of reality. "Death". Throughout his life, Jason had heard the word many times. But, he realized the intensity of that word for the first time. The man who played with him, helped him, and did many wonders to him, was now not present on earth.

Jason couldn't resist himself from crying. His face went pale. All the other 5 guests went to give Jason a hug. Jason went completely mad. He went out of the mansion. Scarlett tried to stop him, but, Steve asked her not to do so. He said,"The pain of losing someone sees it's intensity decreasing when we spend some time alone." Scarlett agreed and controlled her tears.

Jason didn't go to a particular place. He just wandered anywhere. He was crying his heart out. Tears were rolling down his cheeks with tremendous speed.

It is said that tears don't have mass. But, when they are poured out of your eyes, your mind certainly feels a lot lighter. Crying is not a thing of shame. It is just a human way of telling god that the decision he made is very poor.

Ben was standing at the same position where he told Jason the news. Elisha asked,"Ben, by the way, how are you out of the jail. I mean, you were inside for your crime, right? Then..." Ben saw Elisha in an doubtful face. He replied,"No need to tell you."

He gave some regular instructions to the 5. He asked them not to move out of the city. Then, the man went.

At Johnson's lab. After an hour.

"So, results?" Ben asked. Johnson stated,"I verified the body and shockingly, I found rat poison inside the victim's veins. He was asked to eat something and in that process, he drank poison. Actually, the poison was mixed in the food. This poison is very fast paced. It works quickly. So, Jones died in few minutes, after he drank."

Nestlé said,"Poor fellow. Who might have done that and that too in lab? Ben, I think you need to check up on the register. Who gave Jones food around the time of his murder. He is the answer to all our questions." Ben nodded in agreement.

Nestlé added,"While, I was checking up on the cctv footage, I came to the conclusion that Jones has been murdered. Because, the camera screen was off for 10 minutes. I think that in those 10 minutes, Jones must have drank the poison. This means that someone from the lab has helped the killer to kill Jones."

Johnson said,"Exactly! Point. This is the answer for Jones's death. Now, we must head towards Ben's lab to check up on the man who helped the killer." Ben and Nestlé agreed and all the 3 headed towards Ben's lab.

It was night time now. Paris looks stupendous in the night. The city was now witnessing the decrease in the summer's intensity.

Josephine was laying on her bed. She had a pic of Liza. Looking at her beautiful blonde daughter, she said,"Darling. How are you? Please, come back to me. This house is spirit less without you. No fun, no energy, and nothing. I can't imagine my life without you. Please, hurry up and come to me." Tears started rolling down Josephine's cheeks.

Then, the bell rang. Josephine suddenly became very excited. She thought for a moment that her daughter came back. She hurried to the door. But, who knew that by opening the door, she was about to land in the biggest trouble of her life.

She opened the door. There were 2 men standing. They just came inside and closed the door. Josephine was dismayed.

She asked,"What the fuck are you guys doing? Don't you have any respect?" Josephine was about to say something, when one man went behind her and one came in front of her. The lady realized that she is gonna be treated to some inhuman practice.

The man in front of her caught hold of her and tightened his grip on her hand. Josephine yelled. Then, when she was about to yell at the 2 men, she was hit hard on her skull. Josephine couldn't even scream. Her mouth was now covered with a wet paper ball.

The man behind, gave 2 more nasty blows to Josephine on her head. Josephine felt her skull braking. It was just too painful. She wanted to scream the fuck out of her. But, sometimes, you have to go according to the surrounding.

Josephine immediately felt unconscious. The 2 men succeeded in their work. But, one of them suddenly noticed something weird. He kept his finger in front of Josephine's nostrils. And the biggest shock!!

Josephine had stopped breathing.
