Three In One
(chapter 1)
"Lalita speaking?" O.C. of the local police station Jadugaepal Mallick's voice on the phone - "will you help this old uncle a little?"
After getting this phone call at 7 o'clock in the morning, Lalita commented a little annoyed - why uncle, 'Third-degree' is not being working anymore?
On the other side of the phone, Jadugaepalbabu little blushed and said, "Forget what I said, don't take my words seriously."
Just a few days ago, Jadugaepalbabu said with arrogance and insisted to Lalita, alias Lolly that the police investigation is not a work of feminine intellect. If you don't go to the police station and crush the squirrels, don't apply a 'Third-degree', you won't be able to talk with them.
Lolly smiled a little and said - OK, let's go.
Lalita Bhattacharya is a science teacher at a local school. As her knowledge of various subjects, she have a sharp intellect. Lalita's assistant Rantu is a class eighth student of the same school. Age thirteen years. Rontu wants to be James Bond.
Half an hour later, it was seen that while sitting on the sofa in front of Lalita, Jadugaepalbabu was saying, "This is what happened in your neighborhood. Professor Sen was killed in a closed room last night."
Lolly says with a frown - Professor Shailesh Sen, who has been doing research in Prague for a long time. He was killed! Here! In this neighborhood! Where, we do not know anything!
- You will know, you will know, Jadugaepalbabu keeps on saying slowly - I'm coming from there too. You know, lalita, I have interrogated every person in the house, but I have not been able to catch anything. Now I am wondering if I will dig the floor of that house to see if there is a secret path somewhere, and if not, I will take all the peoples of the house and arrest them. What you think?
Lolly says seriously - I want to hear the whole story.
- Ohh... that's it. The whole explanation was not told to you, said Jadugagapalbabu in a nutshell — surely you know that Shailesh Sen, a professor of archeology, was a widower. He had no children. Staying with old mother. And the workmen are servant Saiju, cook Sarala and gatekeeper Kuar Singh. The professor had to travel to many places for research etc. So he asked one of his students, Pundarik, to study at his house.
Lolly said, the last time I met him, he said he was doing research on the Australian Black Fellows. Whatever, you say.
Jadugopalbabu kept saying - Shaileshbabu came back the next morning. A European gentleman also came with him. However, the European left on the afternoon train on the same day.
Lalita asks - did you find out which time of noon he went?
- Yeah, they said that at 2:00 pm at noon.

Anyway, yesterday morning after a long absence, Kulguru Kedarnath Siddhantabagish came to Sen's house from Kashi Ashram. Tangled monk. When he came home, all the peoples of the house got surprised and busy with him. Especially Mr. Sen's mother got busy with Kulguru. On the same day, in the evening, a Chinese gentleman came to meet Shaileshbabu. But Mr. Sen made it clear that we will not meet. I asked Pundrikbabu and found out that the gentleman's name was Mr. Wang. Shortly after Mr. Wang left, everyone ran outside when they heard gunshots. Shaileshbabu was in the out-house then. The room has two French windows. Gurudev Kedarnath broke one of them and entered inside. He was returning after bathing in the river. Everyone entered the house and saw that Shaileshbabu was dead. The bullet hit the right side of his head. The room was completely closed. It is unknown, that is the killer shot him inside or from outside.
Lolly gathered her hands on her lap and listened seriously. Said - this afternoon I will go there with Rontu. The matter is blurry until I question everyone.
In the afternoon, Rontu and Lolly go to sen house, they were returning from school. About ten - twelve katha land with a huge house standing. Big wire fence around the house. It is impossible for an outsider to cover the inside by climbing the wire fencing or avoiding gatekeeper's eyes through the gate. Entering through the gate is a room on the right. In its two French windows - that is, bars without glass. Facing the main road towards a gate. And the other towards the entrance of the house. Going a little further along this entrance, the whole house is visible. The first one to enter through the door is a hall. The hall is used as a dining room. It's possible to go other rooms through the hall. The out-house is use as the drawing room or living room of the house. Professor Sen's innumerable books and kitties are also arranged in that house. When people came to the outer corner, he used to meet there.
Pundrikbabu was showing Lolly all around. Lolly asked him - Well Pundrikbabu, a Chinese gentleman named Mr. Wang came last evening to meet professor?
- Yes, he wrote his name on the slip and sent it to Sir. But Sir clearly wrote on the slip: Sorry, busy.
Did you notice what was written on the slip?
Yes, there was something he wrote. But I could not read the handwriting of the gentleman.
Lolly asks - was the professor excited to get the slip?
- Even though that didn't understand then, now it seems that he noticed the name anxiously for a while.
Lolly, Rontu, Pundarik Roy and Jadugaepalbabu were sitting around the table in the dining room. Standing a short distance away were Sarala, Saiju and gatekeeper Kuwar Singh.
Lolly asked again - did Mr. Wang leave when the slip came back? Pundrikbabu said - yes. Then I came and sat at this table. This time I want a glass of drinking water from Saraladi. She gives me a glass of orange juice. I had been a headache since morning, I thought, with an aspro...
Interrupting Pundrikbabu, Lolly said - the day before yesterday Professor Sen had brought a European with him. Does he mentioned in which part of Europe he live?
Pundrikbabu said - Oh yes, sir mentioned the name of the person Mr. Frankpouls. The gentleman looked like he was from southern Europe. The hair of his head is black. But Mr. Frankpouls returned by the noon train.
Lolly tells Jadugaepalbabu this time, I want to talk to Saraladi, Saiju and Kuwar Singh a little differently. Understand that everyone can't speak with an open mind in front of everyone.
Jadugaepalbabu said, "Well, Lalita, you call them separately and do whatever you want." Let's go to Gurudev's house, Pundrikbabu. I will probably find out aunt there.
Pundarik said - so let's go.
Meanwhile, Sarala told Lolly that she was washing cup-dish at seven o'clock, when Pundarikbabu came to say goodbye to Chinaman and asked her a glass of water. She gives orange juice.
Lolly says - why, not everyone in the house drinks water?
Sarala answers - I have known that for so long. Mr. Sen also came from abroad last night and drank water. Suddenly, from that night onwards, I noticed that he ask only cocoa or orange juice. I thought that Pundarikbabu would also drink orange juice. After a while, Pundarikbabu went and came Gurudev. It will be half past seven. Gurudev wanted to go to the nearby river in the afternoon. He entered the room and said - Ohh... mud on my feet! He went outside to wash his feet. Then suddenly the sound of gunfire. We all ran to the outhouse. Gurudev then sees the window closed and breaks the shackles with half a brick and enters. Then I see our master inside ... Sarala covers her face and stops crying.
Suddenly, seeing a shadow move away from the door, Lolly shouted, "Who is there?"

Saiju replied, "pardon, it's time for Gurudev's meal." It's better to leave me a little early.
Saiju was interrogated and nothing special was known. And gatekeeper Kuwar Singh knows only one thing - 'I know, who knows'. Lolly asked him, "Did you see a Chinese man at seven o'clock yesterday?" In reply, Kuwar Singh first said - Yes. Then he said - don't know, and finally said - I know who knows.
After saying goodbye and exit of gatekeeper, Rontu said - he is really suspicious, Lolidi.
Lolly commented in a hushed voice - what a pain it is for a pious person to keep the truth.
