•Fathima•
"Fathima! Fathima! Come to sense! "
Fahad says giving a shake to my shoulder.
I am freezed to see die a man in front of me.
"Ya Allah!!!! You killed Hafiz Sir! I will call the police right now!" The old man shouts seeing us.
" Wait,how do you know he is dead? You were upstairs,right?" Fahad says while taking steps closer to him.
"I---I kno.." he mutters and when he tries to run Fahad grabs his collar and punch his stomach.
He fall into knee on ground and Fahad says,
"You killed him! You ! Say Everything! Or I will hand over you to the police of Manchester !"
" Wait...(he coughs) wait! I-I didn't kill him...he just..." He tries to say .
" Say! Who ? Who told you? Where is he?"
" I will tell you,leave my collar!"
Fahad leaves him and he may have been hurted as his hand is already injured.
"Fahad,your hand!"
"Don't worry it's alright.We will take his statement right here.And the Manchester police should not know about this.Now we have to take the help of Mr Gateson.There's no way left."
" Hmm.I will call him and tell him to send a SST (Special Secret Transport) to take the dead body.But wouldn't he be angry to know we are here?"
" You don't worry that.I am sure he will get us out of this case by tomorrow after knowing all this.So we have only one evening and tonight to gather strong evidences to stay in this case.Or we have to...."
" Never! I can never leave this case! It's very important for me!"
" I know that.So let's give our best."
" InshaAllah!"
" InshaAllah!"
" You sit down there and tell us from the beginning.Everything you know." Fahad says with a sharp voice.
I take out my recorder and start recording his words.
The old man sits and he says,
" Mr Hafiz,he is my master.Only he and I live in this house. Mr Rahim is his brother but when he died ,Mr Hafiz didn't go to his funeral and he wasn't sad at all.He told me to go to Mr Rahim's house and take a diary from his wife after the day Mr Rahim had died.But DDUK announced that it was a murder case,so he refused me to go.He said, it was not necessary to bring that diary soon.We could bring it later also."
" Did he ever shared any information about his relationship with Mr Rahim?"
" No,he always stayed in his room and only came for eating.He didn't talk to me much. "
" Why did he received money from Mr Rahim?"
" I don't know the exact reason but he once told that MR RAHIM is cheating with him.Mr Hafiz was never in need if money."
" Well,we have to find out how he died actually! Just in front of us he died! And...as there's no one here only YOU can give him poison!"
" There's no chance that I will kill him.He is the only medium of my livelihood! I don't have any house,any family! I only live with him for food and basic necessities of mine! Why would I kill him? "
" To inherit his house and money?"I say.
"Oh come on! I don't need all that! Look at me! I am 55 years old! I am in this earth only for a few days,and I didn't have any want of anything! I was living well with him!"
" So how he was poisoned? Didn't you gave him food? You cook food for him! " I say.
" No way! He was fasting today! If you don't believe, check the kitchen! There was food cooked for only one person!"
" But he drank the water I gave him!
" I know. Check that glass!" Fahad says with a shock.
" Oh yes! "
I pick the glass from there and smell it a little bit.I get it quickly that it's the same drug for sure.
I nod head to Fahad and he understands.
"If you haven't put drug on the glass,then who can put it?"
"You gave water to him! Maybe it is you who killed him!" The old man say pointing Fahad.
" It's impossible!" Fahad says.
"No! Fathima dear! He can be also the culprit !"
"Stop your mouth! He doesn't dare to kill him."I say ignorantly.
" What do you mean?"
" Forget that.So...You can go now." I say to the man.
" Go means?" Fahad says with frowned eyes.
" I mean he is not the killer,right? He can now go,nah? Yes,yes , you can go now uncle..."
" Thank you so much dear." The old man says.
" Are you out of your mind? He is main suspect!"
"I said he can go! Let him go ! "
•Fahad•
I get shocked to see Fathima talking like that.But in the second minute I get that she is trying to trap the old man.So she is letting him go.
Fathima stands up and opens her purse.She gives some money to the old man.She says,
"Uncle, listen! Here is some money.You can find a house or you should go wherever you want to.But look, don't tell anything to anyone about all this.We are letting you go just because you are innocent,and we don't want you to face police problems at this age."
" You are really kind,girl.Thanks.I will bring my stuff from upstairs!" The old man says with overwhelming and he goes upstairs within a minute.
After his footsteps ends at upstairs, I say to Fathima,
"Will you now tell me what are you planning?"
"Thanks for understanding.Transmitter! I am sure he is lying! He must have some connection with killer. And he will meet the killer for sure.Through him,we will catch the killer."
I nod my head and in the meantime the old man comes.He says,
" May Jesus Christ bless you!" He says.
"Astagfirullah" I hear Fathima saying under her breath.
"Don't worry , uncle we are already blessed by Almighty." I say him mockingly with a fake smile.
" Hmm..but what will you do to the dead body?" He steps forward door.
" We will send it to morge and don't worry we will also held funeral after examining his body."
" That's good."
"Wait , uncle! "Fathima says going near him.
"We have to check your mobile phone for a moment."
"Why?"
"To enter our numbers!So that...you can contact us anytime." She says with a smirk.
She is really good at acting.
" Oh sure sure." He says while handing the phone to Fathima.
She quickly dials some numbers and she calls to her phone through her phone so that his number comes to her phone...she gives back the phone and I catch her putting a tiny transmitter in his phone which he can't see. I observe Fathima's smoothness in doing the work.
He leaves the place.
"Impressive" I say with a smirk.
But Fathima's face is again turned pale seeing her uncle.I say softly,
"Are you feeling sad?"
"Why? Why should I feel sad?"
" You're not sad?"
" I don't want to be sad for a killer."
" Killer?"
" Yes,Mr Hafiz is a killer."
" What do you mean?"
"He said " we killed him" in my ear."
"Really? That means he confessed his crime directly? And he said he killed Mr Rahim?"
" That's what his words mean." Fathima says sweeping her tears of her eyes with one finger.
" But what does "We" mean?"
"There's another killer who might have helped him and it is that Killer X."
" Yah, I got it.Mr Hafiz is too old to do these all according to his physical strength.That woman did all the kidnapping and murders?"
" We are not sure yet."
" We can only believe after we check that if Mr Hafiz went to London or not.Remember the strech markes of wheelchair? Mr Hafiz used a wheelchair and maybe he went to London to kill Dr Daniel and get that diary ? It can also be that he and Killer X planned all this. "
" Yes, I am not sure about him.But there's a only way now to get Killer X through that old man.Check your mobile.Where is he going?"
"hmm..." Fathima quickly opens her phone and checks it.She gets nervous.
She says ,
"I can't hack him cause I am not expert in this field. We need someone from DDUK.And we have to also solve Mrs Ruby 's case before leaving Manchester."
" You are right.Flix can do it.I will call him and tell to transform your data in his laptop.Tell me your mobile's password and database id."
After we are done with the tracking information to Flix,we starts to search Mr Hafiz's house.
"You check the upstairs and I will check the hall room and down floor."
"Don't forget to check the basement!"
"Of course I will not."
We go on checking.Then we come outside of the house with the necessary evidences and things.
The SST is just front of the house. We act like taking the dead body to hospital.We leave for the Manchester police station to investigate the woman.
Hay ! How 's all going?
There you go the chapter !!!
Happy reading!!!
Allah Hafiz ❤️❤️❤️
