Aman and Mei Wei had waited for the entire next day to visit the eldest son. The landlord Hari still seemed rather hesitant to hand over the keys of the room to them. And Aman could understand his feelings. It was not that Hari was ashamed of his mentally unstable son but he was more protective of him and nobody would want some strangers to interrogate their mentally vulnerable child. So Aman didn't urge him to get the keys of the room and waited patiently while the man completed some last rites of his recently deceased son.
Finally at night, the head butler of the landlord came towards them and handed him a long black key. The man almost seemed happy to hand over the keys as he also presented a plate of food to Aman and requested sweetly, "dear sirs, we lowly servants know that we cannot interfere in your interrogation of the eldest young master. However, it's time for his meal. So can you please do us this huge favor and deliver this food to him?"
