Girl With The Gun

When Freddy opened his mouth, it looked like a bullock has opened his jaw to eat a
watermelon. He opened his mouth so wide that his lips gaped to reveal all his 32
huge teeth. They did not look like teeth but looks like the teeth of a harmonium.
Three or four mosquitos were about to enter his mouth but before that could
happen he put the pizza slice that he was eating in mouth and started chomping
down on it.
He was about to put the second piece in his horse like mouth when the phone in the
bureau rings.
ACP says hello and suddenly the bureau goes quiet. Freddy tries to chew the pizza
quietly but a loud crunch sound is heard. He is scared that he is about to be caught
and so he keeps his mouth open.
ACP asks on the phone- where did it happen?
On hearing this Freddy hits his other hand on his forehead he has understood that
a murder has taken place somewhere and they will have to go. He tries close his
mouth to finish off the half eaten pizza when ACP shouts Freddy. Freddy replies
EEEOOOyes sir.
CID car races through the dark streets in the night. Freddy puts his head down and
gives a silent burp. Purvi covers her nose with her hankychief and turns her face
away. But ACPs nose twitches- he asks whether a rat has died in the car. The
officers do not answer and are quiet.
The car reaches Darkona Hotel and enters. Manager tells ACP that it is good that you
have come.and takes them inside. ACP flares his nose and looks at the crowd
standing nearby.
The people who were staying at the hotel are very subdued. The CID officers now
start to stare in their eyes one by one. ACP, Abhijit and Daya start to memorise the
faces that they see.
Manager bows down as if he has done the murder himself. He says that the murder
took place on the 13th floor. ACP asks him to show the 13th floor. The CID team and
manager enters the lift and the lift proceeds on its way when Abhijit puts his nose in
the middle
Abhijit- did the murder take place in the room or outside
Manager- the murder took place inside the room.
Abhijit asks what the room number.
Manager- 666
ACP- are you jokinghow can a room on the thirteenth floor be 666. It should be
like1366 or 1342 or 1389
Manager-sir I do not own this hotel- I am only the manager- the owner of this hotel
does everything upside down. This man who has died is the hotels owners friend
only.
On hearing this, the CID team is stunnedthis is the first twist in the case. Their
expresssions brightened up as if bees have seen a opened flower.
They look at each other. The lift reaches the thirteenth floor and the manager rushes
ahead in a long corridor. And they reach the room number 666. The manager moves
to the side and the team enters the corridor.
They see a young man is lying on the bed- his eyes wide open. He was looking in the
distance- lost in a long dream forever. He was wearing a yellow color night suit. The

front portion of the suit was covered in blood. The body was turned towards the
right side. From that side only the blood flowed from the wound and spilled on the
bed. Maybe it even seeped through the bedsheet into the mattress. All three of the
detectives bend towards the body.
ACP asks whether anyone heard the bullet being fired.
On hearing this the Managers eyes pop open and ask how did you know that bullets
were fired. Freddy smiles like a donkey and again whispers in Purvis ears. See ACP
knew that the man died by bullets by looking in his eyes.
ACP- his clothes have five round wounds- which do not look like knife wounds.
Purvi moves towards the cupboard in the room. She opens the cupboard and sees
that there is a mans suitcase there.
Abhijit moves ahead and opens the dead mans shirt and checks the wounds. 2
bullets have entered his chest, 2 in his stomach and 1 below his stomach and one in
his shoulder.
Abhijit tells Daya that it looks like an immediate death. Daya turns and looks at the
manager and now walks towards him.
Daya- how did you discover that a murder took place here
Manager looks at Daya that he asked a foolish question.
Manager- when the firecrackers sounds were heardeveryone came running out
from their rooms.
Daya- did anyone see anyone running away from this room.
Manager- no sir..
Daya- no one run?
Manager- if they had run they would have been seen running.
Abhijit- how did you enter his room.
Manager is about to say that they entered by becoming birds and flying into the
room.
Abhijit- this room was closed or open.
Manager- open.
ACP- the room was open that means the killer had run away already.
Manager- no sir.
The CID team is shocked and their mouths drop open. They look at each other too.
Abhijit- if the killer did not run then where is he
Manager- sitting in the next room.
Abhijit is shocked to get this answer. He wants to say a lot- but his brain does not
cooperate.
Abhijit-sitti
Manager sees that Abhijit cannot complete the sentence and so does it for him.
Manager- sitting in the next room
ACP- what do you mean by next room
Manager- room no 667..
The three of them reach room No 667 and see that there is a beautiful girl seated
thereshe is wearing a light green top and expensive jeans, expensive heeled shoes
and expensive watch on her hand. The most dangerous thing about this girl was that
she was holding a gun in her hand.
