A day later

Rudra's walked ahead looking enormously messed up yet dashing.He reached near at the crime scene passing through the crowd gathered around there. Once again ,he got a new case.He was being called there for a prosecution investigation by his old friend ACP Shiva.

When ACP shiva saw Rudra coming ,he ran towards him.
"I'm glad you came."

"What's the matter?"Rudra asked him in a serious tone . His eyes roamed around.

"We have found a body of a man who went missing five years ago." ACP Shiva told him while walking ahead with Rudra.

"I want you to further investigate this with us" He said.Rudra didn't say anything and walked towards the body.As he reached near ,he saw a dead body on the ground.

"Rudra?"
Someone called him.Rudra looked at his side and saw his old friend doctor Rajeev approaching him.

Without reacting much Rudra once looked at him while walking towards the dead body.

"Orey baba.. Rudra?? What the hell are you doing here ?Look at your wounds haven't healed yet and you are already working on a new case?" Rajeev asked him.Rudra has still the bandage around his head after yesterday's incident. It was clearly evident he hasn't healed yet.

Rudra ignored him and observed the area around the dead body.

"Well I know you don't listen to anyone so don't worry ,I'm also working in this as a forensic doctor I'll help you out" Rajeev said smirking at him.

Rajeev sighing out tiredly and stared at the body.

"So doctor Rajeev ,what do you think?What happened to this man as per your forensic investigation?" Rudra asked him.

"Well the dead man has a name., Prakash Mishra, age 38. " Rajeev said reading the notepad.

Then he bend down observing the body.
As Rudra walked near him, looking at the body lying on the ground , a rotting smell went into his nostrils.
Rajeev gave him handgloves and mask.
"Clear case of drug consumption,
he might have over consummated it and now it is spreading the smell" Rajeev said wearing the mask but Rudra didn't.

"hmm.. A smell of rusty metallic thing and a hint of musk and drug AND" Rudra said sniffing close to the body.
"The smell coming from body ,it has started decomposing "

Rudra wore the handgloves keeping the mask aside. He touched the chin of dead body and tilted it.

"Or may be someone syringed him" Rudra said looking at the blue mark on the dead body's crook of the neck.

"Bura bohot Bura,
Look at this man's face all blue, lips has became blue.."Rajeev's face crunched.

"So the drug was poisonous?" Rudra asked.

"Poisonous enough to give death on the spot! But which drug could be this poisonous?" Rajeev was thinking .

Rudra's eyes fell on dead body's wrist watch and noticed the time on it . Rudra checked his own wrist watch.

"What's the time now?"Rudra asked.

Rajeev checked his watch
"Its ten thirty"

Rudra checked his own watch .
"Oh It's ten thirty"

"Yeah that's what I said"
Rajeev said.

"Uncle what's the time?"Rudra asked a nearby person.

"Its ten thirty beta" The person told him.

"Isn't that what I said?"
Rajeev said.

"Shiva" Rudra called.

ACP shiva who was handling the screaming woman walked at him as other female officers tried to calm her down
