Place: Meyyur suburbs, Pazhamathur

 

Pugazhendhi thought of enquiring Murugesan.

At that time, he got a phone call from Apparao.

 

Pugazhendhi answered the call, “Yes, Apparao”

Apparao said, “Sir, I moved a few 100 meters in the Sumo, but I found a tyre punctured”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “I only punctured it, mmmm….you get help from somebody from our office”

Apparao said,”Ok sir”

 

The call got disconnected.

Pugazhendhi said,”mmm…Mr.Murugesan, you come and report to our office in the early morning today”

 

Murugesan said,”Ok sir”

Pugazhendhi said, “I thought of enquiring you here, but my office would be the right place”

 

Murugesan said,”Ok sir, I will come”

Saying so, Pugazhendhi came out of their house and walked on the road.

 

He was walking towards the bike, where they left it.

He took his mobile and dialled to Prabhu.

 

Prabhu answered the call, “Hello”

Pugazhendhi asked, “Where are you?”

 

Prabhu said, “I am walking down the road, your office jeep crossed me a few minutes before”

Pugazhendhi asked,”Oh, they have crossed you?”

 

Prabhu said, “Yes”

Pugazhendhi said,”Ok, Now I will be coming on the same path, we will go together”

 

Prabhu asked, “What about that Tata Sumo?”

Pugazhendhi said,”Apparao is taking care of it; he will use the extra wheel”

 

Prabhu said,”Ok, come soon, how long will I walk?”

Pugazhendhi said,”Ok, don’t walk, please sit somewhere around there”

 

Prabhu said,”mmm….good idea”

Pugazhendhi said,” I am on the way”

 

Prabhu said,”mmm”

The Phone got disconnected.

 

Pugazhendhi reached the bike.

He started the bike and left the place.

On the way he saw Apparao, waiting in the Tata Sumo for somebody to come for help.

 

Pugazhendhi did not stop at that point.

He wanted to avoid unnecessary conversations.

 

He wanted to keep Prabhu as a secret trump card all the time.

After five minutes, He reached the point where Prabhu was standing.

 

Prabhu took the control of the bike.

Both of them left the place.

 

They reached Palayanoor at 2.40 a.m.

Prabhu left Pugazhendhi in his House.

 

Prabhu asked, “at what time, you need my presence tomorrow?”

Pugazhendhi said, “Tomorrow you don’t come out of your house”

 

Prabhu asked, “Why?”

Pugazhendhi said, “you fool, this is a different case”

 

Prabhu said,”mhmm”

Pugazhendhi said, “Our focus was towards the business thieves”

 

Pugazhendhi added, “and I have shot them”

Prabhu said,”mmm…I understand, Ok Tomorrow I will take rest”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “I will be in touch through phone calls”

Prabhu said,”ok, I am feeling very tired”

 

Pugazhendhi said,”Ok, bye”

Prabhu said, “Bye”

 

Prabhu left the place.

Pugazhendhi went inside his house.

 

His eyes were weary and reddish in colour.

He had a pain in both his shoulders.

 

Then only he noticed that there were many scratches on his body.

Pugazhendhi saw those scratches.

 

Pugazhendhi thought,”hmm….these got created when we fell from the embankment top”

He locked the door of the ground floor from inside.

 

He felt loneliness at that time.

He went upstairs and changed his dress.

 

He fell on his bed and relaxed his body.

He closed his eyes.

 

In a matter of few seconds, he slept.

He went to a deep sleep.

Pugazhendhi went near the house and said, “Open the door and come out Murugesan”

Murugesan asked, “How do you know that I am Murugesan?”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “I know, don’t worry about that, now open the door”

Pugazhendhi said, “Please clear the spot soon, take them to our station”

Apparao said,”Ok sir”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “I will come by following you”

Apparao said,”Ok sir”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “And there is a Tata sumo car parked at 500 meters from here”

He pulled out the knife.

Gas started escaping from the tyre in a slow manner.

 

He gave the knife back to Prabhu

Pugazhendhi said, “come on we need to go now”

 

Prabhu asked, “Where?”

Pugazhendhi said “See, the foot marks are running towards west”

 

Prabhu said, “Are you going to encounter them in a direct manner?”

Pugazhendhi said, “Yes, we have a gun right?”

 

Prabhu said, “It is a 100 percent risk man”

Pugazhendhi said, “But we need to take it”

 

Pugazhendhi started to run in the direction of the footprints.

Prabhu also ran after him.

 

Prabhu held the knife in his hands in a tight manner.

After five minutes of run, they reached a place from where an isolated house was there.

 

Four men were walking near the house to reach it.

Pugazhendhi hurried near them.

 

Pugazhendhi said, “I am going to shoot them in their legs, you get down”

Prabhu fell on the ground.

 

Pugazhendhi shot one of the guys in his legs.

He fell down and all the three split on hearing the gun sound.

 

Arumugam shouted,”Oh! My god, Senthil got shot”

Pugazhendhi realized that he has shot Senthil.

 

The lights inside the house got switched on by someone, due to the sound of the gunshot.

Pugazhendhi took another shot on another guy.

 

He also fell down.

Arumugam came running towards Pugazhendhi.

 

But Pugazhendhi shot him in his right leg below his knee point.

Pugazhendhi said, “We have got three men down”

 

Prabhu got up from the ground and looked out for the fourth men.

He was running for life on the southern side.

 

Prabhu said, “See there”

Date: 21st July 2012, Saturday

Place: Udayambakkam and Pazhamathur

 

Ramamoorthy asked, “Then what could it be?”

Pugazhendhi said, “It could be a robot”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “A Robot? In this remote village?”

Ramamoorthy added, “I can’t believe it”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Even I can’t believe it”

Ramamoorthy asked, “Then how do you say?”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “It is a guess because I have handled a similar case before”

Ramamoorthy said,”hmmm…Now, what should I give in my complaint?”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “You say that your shed has been burnt down by some unknown persons”

Ramamoorthy said, “So, you will investigate and tell whether it is a robot or not”

 

Pugazhendhi said,”mmm…I am already investigating on it, but the case is not at all moving”

Ramamoorthy asked, “Why sir?”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “A team has to join me and then only the case will get ignited”

Pugazhendhi asked, “Will I take some photographs of your site?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes, please go ahead”

Pugazhendhi took many pictures of the burnt site.

 

He took the picture of the abutting road, in which Muthu got dragged.

Pugazhendhi thought of taking a walk around the suburbs of the shed.

 

The Gate of the Shed was facing the North.

The bed of Palar River was on the west side of the shed.

 

A road was existing on the east side of the shed, which leads to the adjacent villages.

Pugazhendhi walked on the east side of the shed.

 

He searched for any tyre marks along the river bed.

He was not able to find any tyre marks on the east side.

 

Pugazhendhi came back to the shed.

Ramamoorthy asked, “What sir, any clues you got?”

 

Pugazhendhi said,”mmm…no”

Ramamoorthy said, “Sir, I have suffered many losses in my life”

 

Ramamoorthy added, “But those losses were due to some of my carelessness in my business”

Pugazhendhi listened to him,”mhmm”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “But in this case, I am not able to digest”

Ramamoorthy asked, “What wrong did I do? And why was I punished?”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “This is not a punishment sir”

Ramamoorthy said, “Those people are merciless fellows”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Mercy is beyond their boundaries”

Ramamoorthy said, “If you are in my position, you will know the amount of this pain”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Sir, please be calm, I am working on this case”

Ramamoorthy said, “The gone wealth cannot get regained”

 

Pugazhendhi said,”Hmmm…I know that”

Pugazhendhi said,”Ok, please come with me to the police station and give a written complaint”

 

Ramamoorthy said,”Ok sir”

They came back to the Police station at 12.30 p.m.

 

Ramamoorthy gave a written complaint about the incident.

After the process, he left the place.

 

It was around 1.30 Pugazhendhi went for his lunch.

He had his lunch in a highway restaurant.

 

After his lunch session, Pugazhendhi came back to the office by 2.30 p.m.

He sat on his computer and checked his e-mails.

 

At that time, he got a phone call from Kannan.

Pugazhendhi answered the call, “Hello sir”

 

Kannan said, “Hello Pugazhendhi, I have a good news for you”

Pugazhendhi said, “Tell me, sir”

 

Kannan said, “By Monday afternoon a special team will reach your place”

Pugazhendhi asked, “How many of them are there?”

 

Kannan said, “Five well-trained officers in firearms and grenades”

Pugazhendhi said,”mmm…is that enough?”

 

Kannan said, “And ten junior officers, who can get used as spies”

Pugazhendhi said,”mmm…ok sir that will work out”

 

Kannan said, “I have given a name for the team of five officers as Axe Force”

Pugazhendhi said, “Axe Force? Why did you name them so?”

 

Kannan said, “Because they cut the strong branches of the business thieves network”

Pugazhendhi said, “And what is the name of the team for junior officers”

 

Kannan said, “Spy Axes”

Pugazhendhi said,”Oh! Since they are attributing to the axe force, you gave them a name of spy axes?”

Kannan said, “Yes”

Chapter 23: The Investigation at Ramamoorthy’s site

Date: 21st July 2012, Saturday

Place: Udayambakkam

 

Pugazhendhi, Apparao, and Ramamoorthy reached Udayambakkam at 10.30 a.m.

The shed got surrounded by a compound wall on four sides.

 

The height of the compound wall was around 6 feet.

Pugazendhi’s jeep stopped outside the compound wall.

 

Ramamoorthy’s car went inside the shed through the gate which got kept in an open position.

Pugazhendhi and Apparao got down from the jeep and walked towards the shed.

 

They entered inside the shed through the Gate.

Pugazhendhi made visual observations of the site.

 

There was a small security room for the gatekeeper next to the Gate.

The Gate was in a broken condition at the point of its latches.

 

The Security Guy Muthu was sitting inside the Security room.

His head got tied up with bandages.

 

Somebody has given him first aid.

Pugazhendhi saw his eyes and realized that he must be an honest guy.

 

The cars in the shed were burnt into ashes.

The condition of them was very bad and cannot be recoverable.

 

Insurance value for second-hand cars is also less.

Nobody Knows, whether Insurance companies will reimburse funds for this kind of events.

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “Why is the gate damaged at the latch part?”

Ramamoorthy said, “In the morning I only broke it to get inside the campus”

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “Why did you break it?”

Ramamoorthy said, “Because it got locked from the inside”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “And you said that the security guy got dragged out?”

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes, he was outside the campus when he called me at 6 O clock”

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “You said that the gate got locked, then how could he have got dragged out?”

Ramamoorthy said, “I also don’t know sir”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Call him before me”

Ramamoorthy said,”Muthu! Muthu! Come here”

 

The Security guy Muthu came running toward them.

Muthu said, “Yes sir”

Pugazhendhi said,”Muthu! Were you dragged out of the campus?”

Muthu said, “I don’t know sir, but when I woke up, I was outside the campus”

 

Muthu added, “On the other side of the road”

Pugazhendhi said, “You realize only the time when you got hit in the backside of your head”

 

Pugazhendhi added, “And the time when you woke up….right?”

Muthu said, “Yes sir”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Sir, there are some traces of blood”

Ramamoorthy added,” which shows that he got dragged”

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “Is that inside or outside?”

Ramamoorthy said, “Outside”

 

Pugazhendhi said,”Ok, Muthu you can go now”

Muthu went back to his security room.

 

Pugazhendhi said, “if your guy Muthu is good”

Pugazhendhi added, “Then there is a possibility of somebody shifting him outside”

 

Pugazhendhi added, “If he is a bad guy, then he himself could have jumped out of the campus”

Ramamoorthy said, “No sir, he is a very innocent guy”

 

Pugazhendhi said,”Hmmm…then the only possibility is that”

Pugazhendhi continued, “He got lifted above the gate’s height and placed out”

 

Pugazhendhi continued,” and after that, he got dragged and placed on the other side of the road”

Ramamoorthy said,”mmm….may be, but how could he got lifted above the height of the

Gate?”

 

Pugazhendhi said,” He can be around 70 kilograms in weight”

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes, but a human cannot lift him up above the height of the gate”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Yes, I accept that it cannot be a human’s work”

Ramamoorthy said, “Then could it be some kind of machinery like a crane?”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Yes, I agree that it is a machine, but it may not be a crane”

Ramamoorthy said,”hmmm…”

He was black in colour.

 

He said, “Good morning sir”

Pugazhendhi said, “Good morning, what can I do for you?”

 

He said, “Sir, my name is Ramamoorthy”

Pugazhendhi said, “Tell me Ramamoorthy sir”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “I am running a travels agency in chengalpattu”

Pugazhendhi said,”Chengalpattu does not come in our circle sir”

Pugazhendhi exclaimed, “What?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes sir”

Ramamoorthy added, “I had 10 different models of second-hand cars stored there”

Pugazhendhi said, “How did it happen?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “It was around night 12 O clock”

Ramamoorthy added, “My security guy got hit from the back in his head”

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “How many securities you placed for the shed?”

Ramamoorthy said, “One person”

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “Why did you keep only one person?”

Ramamoorthy said, “Sir, the net value of my assets over there was Rs.25 lakhs”

 

Ramamoorthy asked, “How many persons will I place there for security?”

Pugazhendhi said,”mmm…ok, then what happened next?”

 

Ramamoorthy said,” He got unconscious “

Ramamoorthy added,” and when he woke up it was morning 6 O clock”

 

Pugazhendhi asked,”Oh, throughout the night was he unconscious?”

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes, and he found all the cars burnt into ashes in the shed”

 

Ramamoorthy added, “After that he informed me, I went to the shed and saw the situation”

Pugazhendhi said, “Was there no people around your shed?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “No sir, it is a remote area and a single building”

Ramamoorthy continued, “The residential zone is at a distant location from my shed”

 

Pugazhendhi asked, “So, your shed has been burnt down in a silent manner?”

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes sir”

 

Pugazhendhi said, “Was the security guy near to the fire or far away from the fire?”

Ramamoorthy said, “He got dragged from the shed and left outside the building”

 

Ramamoorthy added,” before setting the fire”

Pugazhendhi said,”Oh! was he dragged out?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes sir”

Pugazhendhi said, “So the people did not want him to die?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes sir”

Pugazhendhi asked, “Is he a reliable security guy?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “His name is muthu and he is with me for more than 5 years sir”

Pugazhendhi said, “So, you trust him?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Yes, he is innocent and from a poor family”

Pugazhendhi said,”Hmmm, do you have any other person like a partner or somebody?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “I am doing family business, all my partners are brothers and in-laws”

Pugazhendhi asked,”Hmmm…so there cannot be a suspect from your family members?”

 

Ramamoorthy said, “Definitely not”

Pugazhendhi said,”Hmmm…Ok, will I see the site?”

 

Ramamoorthy said,”Ok sir”

Pugazhendhi said,”Ok, come on let us go”
