Case 3 part 3: Names

"This sign, this sign is someone's."

"What!!!??? , what the hell are you saying. I also know that this is an unknown person's sign. But why the hell did you put the sentence like you know him at first and say someone's"<Vikram>

"I did not mean to say it like that but this mark underneath the sign is..."

          I was stammering when I saw the mark but this mark is definitely what I am thinking it is.

        Vikram suddenly took the paper from my hand and said the mark.

"Is this what I am thinking it is!!" Vikram said with a WOOOOW face.

"Yes, it is the mark of..."

"A new marvel movie!!, yahooo!!!!!"

            What?,what?,what.

"Whaaaat are you saying."

"The mark is like IDS and a circle around it with a slash over it."<Vikram>

"You idiot this is the mark of the inte..."

"Interstellar Dimensional Space is the movies name right??"

"You idiot!!, stop your theories and listen to me."

           Slowly Vikram's face changed  from exciting state to sadness.

"This mark is IDS and its fullform is 'International Detective Service' not Interstellar Dimensional Space or something else."

"Ohhh!!" Shouted Vikram.

"As the name sounds it is the world's largest and biggest detective service. It has the best out of the best detective."

"Best!! mmm."

"If you get a job in it you can get everything for free. Car, house, food everything. But you will be getting very difficult cases. It may even take 10 years for you to solve."

"Ohh, will I get a Rolls-Royce?"<Vikram>

"Yes you can but.."

Trin, trin,trin

          My phone rang. I lifted the phone and kept speaker mode.

"Hello Mr.Detective." <Talking tom voice>

"Thank you for the respect Mr.Talking tom."<Vikram>

"Your welcome, what again!! you slave why are calling me Talking tom??"<Talking tom voice>

"I will see you afterwards but let me come to the point. By now you might have got a call from Ms.Vicky that she found many papers on the ground, right"

"You are right. "

"Hahahaha, I am also right. I gave you a clue in those papers try to catch me Detective, bye, bye, bye."

           He hung uped the call.

"The clue must be this mark which is back of this half torn paper."

"Vikram go and get another paper which  is on the ground."

"Here you go."<Vikram>

            I took the paper and saw if there was any sign  on the non-torn paper. There was noting but the printout which is on the front side.

"Woof, woof,woof."<Vikram>

"Vikram what are you doing sounding like a dog??"

"I am saying this street dog to not eat the printed paper which is in its mouth"

         What??, I slowly turned to the dog and saw which paper it was having in its mouth. It was a torn paper which is the same size as the torn present in my hand.

"As you said I was barking because dogs can't understand humans language."<Vikram>

           I suddenly threw the paper in my hand and moved away.

"Woof, woof, woof. Dogs now a days are not listening to strangers who say good."

"Ok, ok lets go to our house"

*******

"Why do you think that dog did not listen to me, is it because it thought I was a dangerous man or was the dog naughty?"<Vikram>

"Because it did not understand your language and if it understood also it might have taught you are a good-for-nothing fellow."

"Is that so, do you take me as a good-for-nothing fellow??" Vikram said angrily.

"Ok, ok you are not a good-for-nothing fellow but a good and faithful man."

"That's how you should be. Hehe."<Vikram>

          Yes, yes that's how a tenent should be to a landlord and the tenent is me so....

"Ok coming to the case do you have and suspect's???"

"Yes, I have a suspect."

"Who is it Vikram?"

"It is the man who is talking to me, the man who always sees me as an idiot, the man who said I am a good-for-nothing fellow and the man who wakes me at 9:00am everyday, its you!!" Vikram said with a base voice.

       In a villainous voice I laughed and said "Hahaha. Yes, its me your tenant!!"

"I knew it, I knew it form the beginning you are a dangerous person who always.."

"Stop, stop I just made a joke its not serious!!"

"Is that so then you are a good-for-everything person, ok!!"<Vikram> shouting angrily.

"Ok, ok think about the case."

         While I was thinking of the case suddenly bulb glowed in my mind.

"Vikram, go get the list of detectives in MOONLIGHT city."

"Why"<Vikram>

"See, he has IDS mark which means he might be a detective or he might be a worker in IDS.  Because only detectives know about IDS.  I think he is a detective because there is no one in HALFMOON city or in SUNSHINE city who work in or for IDS."

"Here it is." Vikram said and handed the list to me.

           There were total of 32 members.

"Now tick the members who love cricket like us in the list."

"There are 10 of them who love cricket"<Vikram>

"Ohh, mmm"

"Give the phone"

"Here"<Vikram>

          I called Praneeth and asked if there were any accidents or fights in HALFMOON city.

"There was an accident in HALFMOON city S-street. I investigated about the accident for 3 hours roaming in that street. There was a electric pole broken and fell on a house yesterday. The owner was lecturing us to catch the culprit."<Praneeth>

"Just a minute, be in line."

"Vikram, get the detective's who live in S-street"

"Here, there are two of them, there names are SARVA and MICHAEL."<Vikram>

"The Kidnapper is SARVA."

"How can you say it like that. Are  you a dog who identifies the culprit with smell I mean name or something." <Vikram>

"You, idiot first listen to me. In the case of MICHAEL, his name itself specifies that he is an English man. But SARVA, his name is like someone who is not an English man."

"Ohhh, so someone's name can also be a clue. Mmm I should hide my name then hehe."<Vikram>

"But he might have written grammar mistakes wrong willingly to make you catch the wrong person!!"<Vikram>

"It can be the case, lets see."

"Hello Praneeth are you in line?"

"Yes, yes Mr. Detective." <Praneeth>

"Mmm, are you free now?"

"Ya, I am totally free."<Praneeth>

"Where are you now?"

"I am in S-street. I was thinking of going to the station."<Praneeth>

"Would you please roam in S-street for a while with police Siren??"

"Ya, sure!!"<Praneeth>

         I cut the call.

"Vikram lets call MICHAEL and SARVA."

"Why??"<Vikram>

"Just see."

           I called MICHAEL first and kept speaker mode. I could hear the sound of Siren in the call.

"Hello sir."

"Yes hello, what do you want?"<MICHAEL in the call>

"We are from TATA washing machine company, would you like to buy a washing machine for only 99,999 rupees??"

"No, I have a washing machine myself."<MICHAEL in the call>

"We are giving you a discount of..., actually the washing machine rate is 1 lakh sir we are giving you a good discount and it ends today sir"

"No I don't want any washing machine."<MICHAEL in the call>

"Sir, the offer is.."

            The call hung.

           Afterwards I called SARVA  and put the speaker mode.I could still here Siren sound.

"Hello sir."

"What do you want??"<SARVA said whispering>

"Sir I am from TATA washing machine company.."

           The called hung up.

             I called him again.

"Hello sir"

"Yes, what do you want??"<SARVA said in a worrying voice>

"I am from TATA washing machine company."

"So what!! I don't want anything, just don't call me again!!"<SARVA said in angry voice>

        The call hung up again.

"You see Vikram, MICHAEL was so calm and talked to us in a manner full way. But SARVA, he was worried if the police came to search him so something. So, he was angry when we called him."

"Ohh, so if we talk angrily on phone then it is also a clue for being a culprit. Mmmm I should talk calmly on the phone with no tension or frustration."<Vikram>

"Ok, but first lets call Praneeth and say him to search for SARVA'S house."

         I tried to call Praneeth but he was not lifting the call.

"Shit, he is not lifting the call. Mmmm.. Vikram lets go there ourself and checkout."

"Yes, boss!!!"<Vikram>
