Pugazhendhi said,” May be out of situation”
Kannan said, “Yes, on knowing that he is going to lose the game to us”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes because he watched our movements through CCTV camera”
Kannan said, “Yes, our strength is that we kept security guards in Farooq’s house”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes, we placed them immediately after Farooq’s murder”
Kannan said, “Yes, that is why Rawat used the Robot to attack Prabhu on the day of his visit”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes, then Sirish and Rawat have joined hands to kill their friend, Farooq”
Kannan said, “Yes, that is the best possible chance”
Pugazhendhi said, “But, Farooq’s murder also could have happened under unavoidable circumstances”
Kannan said, “Yes”
Pugazhendhi said, “One more point I would like to make”
Kannan asked, “What it is?”
Pugazhendhi asked, “Where are the household employees of Rawat?’’
Kannan said, “Yes, I too have the doubt”
Pugazhendhi said, “He should have sent them away”
Kannan said, “Or else, he might not have employed anyone”
Pugazhendhi asked, “Not even a gatekeeper and a cook?”
Kannan said, “Yes, I too have the same doubt”
Pugazhendhi said, “Or else, Rawat might have sent them away before our arrival”
Kannan said, “There can be a possibility for that”
Pugazhendhi said, “Do we need to search for them?”
Kannan said, “We will note it in our report, but searching for them is a vague process”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes sir, the chances of them being criminal is 50%”
Kannan said,”Hmmm…!! Yes”
Pugazhendhi asked, “What about the murder of Inspector Raja?”
Kannan said, “Sirish Kumar could be the murderer”
Pugazhendhi said, “And the person who attacked us in Hotel Sangeeth could also be Sirish”
Kannan said, “Yes, Sirish”
Pugazhendhi said, “at last, he too died”
Kannan took his phone and called the Headquarters.
