"Your uniqueness is your magic"- Saubhaagyashree Gupta.
In the house of Gupta family:-
After cutting the phone call, Paramesh had sent all the details to Saubhaagyashree, through email. She printed out the hard copies of those documents, with the help of her computer. She became extremely busy in cosseting those riddles and the hidden message behind the brain-treachery words.
Saubhaagyashree was so indulged into it, that she forgot to change her dress and to eat something. Katyayani and Rouhi came to give her food, but she didn't want to eat anything before solving them. So, they took it back. After thinking for three hours, she became successful to solve all the riddles and understood those hidden messages. After solving the riddles, she became satisfied and a bright smile adorned her lips.
In the morning, Saubhaagyashree reached her office early. After some time, police commissioner and A. C. P. arrived in the office along with other officers to discuss about the murder cases. All the lawyers and police officers assembled in Saubhaagyashree's office room.
In the office room of Saubhaagyashree:-
Police commissioner:- Madam, it is confirmed that those thirty people are dead! But their families need justice, as they had already got the news of murder. We had also prepared the F. I. R.s for those cases. Now it is necessary to close them, by appearing this case in the supreme Court and giving proper punishment to the murderer.
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes, I will fight this case for them. But before that, you have to trace out that person and open his mouth to uttar the truth as the witness' speech.

Police commissioner:- But madam, how these riddles are connected with these murders?
A. C. P:- Exactly! And what are those riddles indicating, Madam?
I. A. S officer:- Madam, where are the dead bodies of those men?
Saubhaagyashree:- Those bodies cannot be found, because now, they have been metamorphosed into skeletons.
Police commissioner:- Within two months? How is it possible, madam?
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes, it is possible, because those bodies were already burnt and the skeletons were sent to the school labretories.

Saubhaagyashree:- It is the truth!
I. P. S officer:- Can you please define this, madam!
Saubhaagyashree:- Look at the words in the riddles carefully. You will understand that a man/boy suffered his mother's death. Thirty people who were killed by him, they were actually his mother's molesters, worked in a bank as servants. They group molested his mother, pour petrol on her and burnt her alive. He kidnapped those people one by one and annihilated them in the same way, how his mother died. After burning them, he had sent those skeletons to school labretories. I think you are still confused. Don't worry, just recall my words and go through those riddles again, you will find similarity.
All the officers reread all the riddles and Saubhaagyashree's answers. They understood that she was absolutely right. Those riddles were actually indicating the pains and revenge of a person. All of them staggered and bewildered at her acrimoniousness and acuteness of mind. All the police officers started applauding her. Even the officers who were much elder than her, we're also clapping for her.
Saubhaagyashree (with a cute smile) :- It's okay! I have done nothing!
Police commissioner:- You are really great, madam! Now we can easily get the murderer's information from the school authorities by their skeletons' supplier. Thank you, madam!
A. C. P:- Thank you so much, made for giving us your precious time!
Saubhaagyashree:- My pleasure!
Police commissioner:- Madam, then you start to arrenge the case, because we don't have permission to keep criminals in the police custody more than one week. So, after arresting him, we can make him appear in the court.
Saubhaagyashree:- Definitely, I will start to work on it from today.
Police commissioner:- Okay madam!
All the officers left her office after the discussion. After some time, Saubhaagyashree called the watchman in her personal office room to know about the oldest worker of the office, Prahlaad Deshmukh.
Saubhaagyashree:- Did Prahlaad uncle come office today?
