Chapter 39: A Worst Fellow
Date: 24th July 2012, Monday
Place: Porunthavakkam
Kannan asked, “Is the tempo traveller with registration number TN 07 BF 7615 yours?”
Muthuraman said,”mmm…no”
Kannan gave a strong punch in his face.
Muthuraman shouted in pain,”Aaah!”
Kannan said, “We are police officers, tell me the truth”
Muthuraman said, “Sir I don’t know about what you are telling”
Kannan gave another punch in his mouth.
Blood got oozing from his mouth.
Muthuraman shouted in pain.
Pugazhendhi said, “If you tell us the truth, you will be safe”
Muthuraman was shivering in pain.
His eyes got filled with a tremendous amount of fear.
Kannan said,”Pugazh! See he fears, so he is the culprit”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes sir”
Kannan said, “Search the house”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes sir”
Pugazhendhi went inside all the rooms of the ground floor.
He could find no one.
Then he went to the upstairs.
There was a room locked from the inside.
Pugazhendhi knocked the door.
The door did not open.
He started to hit the door and shouted, “Open the door”
The door opened and a young lady appeared before him.
She could be around 26 years old.
Pugazhendhi asked, “Who are you?”
She said, “My name is Vimala”
Pugazhendhi asked, “What are you doing here?”
Vimala said, “I am his friend”
Pugazhendhi said,”Ok go downstairs”
Vimala came to the downstairs.
Pugazhendhi went inside the room.
It was the bedroom and many things were in a disturbed manner in that room.
Pugazhendhi said,”Hmm…she is a prostitute”
Pugazhendhi’s aim was not to catch the prostitute.
Hence his eyes searched the room with anxiousness.
There was a mobile phone lying on a table in that room.
Pugazhendhi took that mobile phone and saw.
The screen saver picture of that mobile phone was Muthuraman’s picture.
Pugazhendhi said to himself,”hmmm…this is his mobile phone”
There were five cupboards in that bedroom.
Pugazhendhi started to search the cupboards one by one.
While opening the third cupboard, he saw a blue diary.
He opened the diary, it was Muthuraman’s diary.
He had written many events of his life in that diary.
He made a run through in a quick manner.
He found the names of Rawat, Farooq and Sirish Kumar.
He kept the diary inside his vest.
He did not want to show it to Kannan at that point of time.
He came out of the room and got to the downstairs.
Kannan was enquiring the lady Vimala.
Pugazhendhi asked, “What is she telling sir?”
Kannan said, “She says that she is a friend of him”
Pugazhendhi laughed,”Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Pugazhendhi asked, “Do you know who we are?”
Vimala said, “Police?”
Pugazhendhi said, “Yes, correct”
Pugazhendhi asked, “Now tell us the truth, are you his friend?”
Vimala said, “No sir”
Pugazhendhi said, “Where are you from?”
Vimala said, “Chennai”
Pugazhendhi asked, “Which area in Chennai?”
Vimala said,”Pattinapakkam”
Pugazhendhi asked, “How do you know this man?”
Vimala said, “Today morning only, he picked me up from marina beach”
Pugazhendhi said,”hmmm…he is a worst fellow”
Vimala got dumbfounded.
Pugazhendhi said,”Kannan sir, do you want anything to ask from her?”
Kannan said,”mmm…Lock her in any one of the room, our aim is this guy only”
Pugazhendhi said,”Ok Vimala, we are in an urgent and important case”
Vimala said,”ok sir”
Pugazhendhi said, “So, you stay in that room, we will send you soon”
Vimala said,”Ok sir”
Pugazhendhi sent Vimala to a bedroom on the ground floor and locked her in that room.
Pugazhendhi came back to Kannan and Muthuraman.
