Inspector Rathore received a call on his mobile phone at 2am in the night. He picked up the mobile in sleep and then woke up immediately. He couldn’t believe what he just heard so  He took his jeep and moved towards Parth Apartment in Shanti Nagar. His jeep was moving ahead at full speed on the deserted highway. Rathore was a very bold inspector. He had put many goons behind the bar, but today his face clearly showed fear and he was looking worried. Whose call was it that made Inspector Rathore so restless? Inspector Rathore had too many questions going on in his mind when he suddenly received the call again. “Hello.” “Sir, someone has informed media about this. What do we do now? The media has surrounded the building. We are waiting for your orders”. Inspector Rathore took a deep breath and said, Do not allow anyone inside. Until I reach, Seal the apartment and wait for me. Has anyone from the forensic department reached?” He received the answer, Not yet, sir. We have already informed them. They should be reaching soon. Good I shall also reach in some time. Inspector Rathore starts driving in full speed Car going in full speed towards the apartment and then his mobile starts ringing again. Hello Rathore, are you aware of the incident? Rathore said Yes, I am on my away. Where are you, Patil? I shall also reach you soon. What do you think, who could have done this? Rathore interrupts Patil, let’s talk when we reach the apartment. You wait for me. As soon as Rathore’s jeep reached, He was surrounded by media. Sir, who is this serial killer and why is he only targeting police officers? How are you going to solve this mystery and are there any suspects? What do you think, who could have done this? Inspector Rathore, who was surrounded by many such questions, said Listen, we are investigating we shall get hold of the culprits very soon. Please let us do our duty. Saying thus, Rathore moved inside the building. As he reached the flat, he was completely shaken by what he saw. He couldn’t believe his eyes. His friend Khan’s corpse was lying on the floor who was from his department itself. Someone had killed him by twisting his head. His friend sub-inspector Patil was anxious. Rathore, what do you think, who is behind all this? Mr. Rathore was terrified after seeing the corpse. Somehow he composed himself and asked the constable When did this happen? The constable responded Sir, it happened around 1’o clock in the night. Neighbors heard Khan screaming loudly and called us. As soon as we reached here we saw Khan’s corpse. Sir, this doesn’t look like any criminal’s job. I feel there is some crazy psycho behind this. Inspector Rathore seemed more worried, when his friend sub-inspector Patil said, Rathore, who could it be? Do you suspect anyone? Rathod Said Rathore replied “Patil, send the corpse for post-mortem. We will be able to find out the matter only after it. While investigating he found a photo which seemed like evidence. He picked up the picture which showed a girl at a party posing with a victory sign. It seemed as if she was enjoying the party. Her eyes had some weird charm. As she was wearing a party mask, her face could not be identified. There was also a shining mark on the picture with a very weird shape It was glittering that picture was in a very weird shape. Rathore thought that someone might have added it through Photoshop. But deep down he felt that it must be some important evidence. Thinking that through this evidence he can catch the killer, he kept the picture in his pocket and got busy with the investigation. The next day, both Patil and Rathore left for the forensic lab. Their car was moving in full speed and they both were extremely quiet, thinking what exactly could this matter be the car stopped near the lab Mr. Rathod and Patil were sitting Dr. Arya said “Listen Rathore, I am seeing such a case for the first time. There could be two possibilities. Either the victim might have fallen and twisted his neck, which doesn’t seem possible as there is not even a scratch on his body. Another possibility is that someone might have twisted his head with a lot of strength but that also seems impossible Khan was a very strong officer. One will need immense strength to twist his head. Hence we couldn’t arrive at any strong conclusion. I am extremely sorry but I will need more time to solve this mystery. Dr. Arya was of the opinion that he had never seen such a brutal murder in his entire career Patil and Rathore were in shock after listening to him. Both of them were puzzled and did not have any answers. They returned to the police station. That night it was raining very heavily with thunder and lightning. Inspector Rathore was returning home after working late at night. Due to immense pressure from media, he was completely exhausted. He just wanted to get hold of the murderer as soon as possible. It was around 12 in the night. He could barely see the road in that light and his car was moving ahead in a weird silence. Suddenly a girl came in front of his car. The girl came running towards the window and said, “Sir, I am sorry for stopping you like this. I have been asking for a lift for an hour but no one was stopping by I am extremely sorry, Sir, but my car has broken down. Can you please drop me home? Rathore looked at the girl. She was completely drenched from head to toe. He could see her car standing nearby with its parking lights blinking. Rathore scolded her, “Are you mad? hmm Who would have been responsible if anything would have happened to you? Idiot!” He took a deep breath and said, “Fine, sit in the car. I shall drop you home.” the girl finally got lift The car was moving at full speed. Rathore asked, What happened madam, where did you go alone in the night? girl replied “I am returning from my friend’s place.” Rathore said, “It is not good to roam at night. You never know how someone can behave. And a beautiful girl like you should completely avoid it. The girl responded in anger, but I feel girls shouldn’t even trust the police officers. Rathore started laughing “Hahahaha. You seem to be offended. I was just joking, and why shouldn’t you trust police officers? Don’t they just do their duty and keep you all safe? The girl became extremely quiet after listening to him and Rathore became busy in driving. The girl then said, All police officers are not as decent as you, inspector Rathore. Rathore was shocked and worried to hear this and he looked at her with fearful eyes. The girl smiled at him. With a shivering voice, Rathore asked her “Who…Who…Who…Who are you and how do you know my name? Rathore yelled and asked again, “Who are you?” May be your memory is very weak, Rathore sir. You forget so soon. And the girl started staring at him. Rathore was now scared of the girl. With a quivering voice, he said. Wh...what... What did I forget and who are you? How can you forget that you all choked me to death? What was my mistake? Just that I was going to speak the truth in the court against you all in the double murder case? You forgot about it soon? Rathore turned pale. His hands and legs became numb. And then the girl spoke in a weird voice, “Have you also forgotten how you buried me in the jungle and left.” “You thought you all shall get away with this?” Inspector Rathore was dead on the spot. and his dead body was in very bad condition The next day sub-inspector Patil received a call on his mobile. He was extremely scared and drove towards the accident spot. When sub-inspector Patil reached the spot with his team, he saw Rathore was dead and his corpse too was in a very bad condition. Sub-inspector Patil was shocked and wondered about who could this killer be? He started investigating the scene and found something in Rathore’s hand. he picked it up It was nothing but a picture of the girl at the party. She looked very happy and her eyes had a weird charm.
