had spoken something much,"ok then come here again."
“What happened sir, was there anything special in that almirah?"Farhan asked a very right question.
"Yes something important, not for me or you but for this case,there used to be many things in this almirah when Mr Mountbatten was killed, at that time also I came here and opened this almirah, there were few dollars, a gold chain there,and a photo frame","so what's unusual in this sir."
“Mr Ashlesh told me that the owner never allowed anyone in his life time to open this almirah,there was something important in that, more important than these things and the person who killed him was behind that thing only,sir asked him about that thing so many times but every time he refused to say anything,the person left these gold things there as it is and took the rest of the stuff which he needed."
Sir was disclosing out some more points of this case now.
"Now we should move out otherwise, there will be a great stuff by some people,"he said and we moved out,at that time also the feeling of some presence there was in my mind,the students were searching for some another way very enthusiastically.
"Can I have some water?"Priyanshi came to me thirsty.
"Why not madam,"I said and gave her a bottle.
"It's very much confusing,there are things which are seeming very difficult,completely twisted with one another."
“You saw that photo hung on the wall?"Goku asked a rubbish question though he was knowing that we all had seen it.
"Yes we had, that family photo only, right?",Farhan said.
"Yeah that one only,"I am not able to remember when but I had seen that boy somewhere,which was with Mr Mountbatten".As Goku said this our faces suddenly moved towards him.
"Are you sure,try to think where you had seen him if that person will be caught then the whole mystery will be getting a new turn ,he is the son of Mr Mountbatten right,he would be surely knowing that what was there in that almirah,"Farhan said with enthusiasm.
"I am trying my best but I am not able to remember that.."Goku said,he tried his best to remember but nothing came to him.
After about one and a half hour there was a call from Mr Yaseen to join the bus,all the students with sad faces climbed up the bus because they had found nothing,"don't lose your hope, we will try to get inside also if the authorities give us the permission",as he said this, the faces of our friends including Priyanshi glow up,at that time only we came to notice that the director of ours was not there to accompany us,.
Mr yaseen was the only teacher there who was taking care of the whole group as that Reema was at the hotel,the whole way there were assumptions about the cases, very useless they were,Harry was trying to make others frightened by saying wrong stories, it was only after Mr Yaseens scolding when he kept his mouth shut,we reached the hotel on time,after all the others went down Mr Yaseen said to us,"you are going to visit that boy now only,so that at night some more investigation could be done."
"Sir, if you allow me to ask one question then I would like to ask it,"Goku said .
"You are asking as if earlier you had been asking me about every question which you had put up.”
"Where is Mr Ashlesh now?"
"You will be knowing that on the right time and ask him only about this, if he will think it worthwhile to answer then he will surely"came the answer and sir went away.
"Lets go to that Saruki only,we will have our lunch at his shop,"Goku said and we moved towards the shop,in our way we gave a keen look to the road on which we saw that person who got disappeared.
"I hope we will be getting some sort of good information from him,"Goku said as we reached close to him.
“The investigation has been done before also but nothing has came in hand it haapens normally but not with such a great investigator like Mr Ashlesh and Yaseen sir, if they are not able to solve the mystery then who are we to take it to some conclusion"I said.
"Why? Don't you hear that sometimes a tortoise also wins the race,"Goku used a useless example,and gave a laugh.

THE LAST BATTLE
The person from whom we wanted to meet was standing there with some other customers ,"so this time he get someone?".
"No they are the locals only I think, gathering for a tea here,"I said,there was a smile on his face when he saw us.
"Good afternoon sir,what you will like to get today, the yesterday one only?"he said with a brimming face.
"No,no get something else for us now, anything which you like,but it should be good ok,"Goku said,the other customers looked at him with a great surprise.
"From where you had come?"one person from the three who were sitting there asked us.
"From Chittor,are you from here only?","yes we are,"the other one replied.
"That's good ,it's a nice village though we reached here accidentally but the place is quite nice,you know,"Goku was trying to make a relationship with them very smartly.
"Yes our town is small but it's nice,"we were excepting the same comment from them, who will say that there place is not good ,it's the human tendency to show his things better than other's.
"I liked that villa which is at the one end of the town, who is the owner of that, it's quite big,"Farhan also now took part in the talk smartly,the persons were quite unhappy with this statement, it was clearly written on their faces,"that villa is a curse for our village,it has changed our life completely."
"Why so? "we asked though we were knowing the whole things of that place.
"That villa is having a ghost of Mr Louis Mountbatten,the owner of the villa,who was killed very mysteriously,but his ghost still reside there,my wife has herself seen it behind the house when she got in the garden to get some flowers,though no one ever take care of the garden there, but still it is quite well maintained, the flowers do not get dry,and the grasses do not grow."
“Was that Mountbatten,the owner of the villa , a good person,I mean he was quite rich so he would have helped the others who were poor,"I asked.
"He was a very good man, always ready to help everyone, he even didn't use to charge interest on the loans which he used to give us, I myself has borrowed the money from him and he just demanded the actual price, curse the person who killed such a man,"the third man said this time.
"Your lunch is ready sir,"that boy was now there standing with three plates in his hands.
"Ok son thanks for the tea,"one of them said and then gave few coins to him.
"If you don't want to get in some trouble then keep yourself away from that place,"the man said and went away.
"We will take care"I said from behind laughing in a way so that no one else can see it.
"So what's there today?"Goku asked seeing around white thing in the plate.
"It is ‘handbi’,sir you will surely like it,it's my favourite also"he said.
"Oh really!"Goku exclaimed and put a bit of it in his mouth,"good, very good, it is having a completely different taste from the one which we had yesterday "he said.
"Thanku sir"came the reply and we also joined him.
The new thing was also very nice,it was crispy,and smooth"so Mr Saruki what did you say about that villa is that really haunted or these people are making a fool of us."
“I don't know sir, till now I had not seen any ghost there, so I can't tell you anything,"he said ,we three looked at each other in order to come directly on the point.
"You are the only person in this whole town who know’s Mr Mountbatten rightly,"as Goku said this the expressions of Saruki changed but without caring for it Goku keep on continuing himself"don't try to make a fool of us,you were the only one who had broken his most of the window glasses,you went to him for giving food many a times,you are knowing those things which we don't know you are the most important part of this whole chain,if you don't know, then I would like to tell you that you are the only person about whom Mr Mountbatten was writing in his diary,a few minutes before he was killed,he had said
that you are a good boy,if you want us to catch the criminals then please help us,tell us all the things which you are knowing about that person,he would have talked to you about the usual issues, if you had found anything strange in that , then please tell us "Goku was in a form of requesting, not ordering.
"Who are you and how do you know about our relationship,no one else in the whole town know much about this,so how you outsiders can? "
His questions were all necessary and usual but we were not now in a condition to disclose our truth,"you should not worry now about the point that who we are and how do we know such a great deal about you and Mr Mountbatten, just tell us the things,"Goku said,he didn't speak anything for the next few moments.
"Yes I know him ,we used to play in his garden,he never liked it but also never stopped us,he helped my father at the time of crisis so he used to send food items nearly daily with me to his home ,I was in a habit to find him in his room,he used to be very happy on seeing me as if I am his own son,he used to laugh with me like a friend on my poor jokes,we ate the dinner together many a times, on the night when he was killed, I was the last person who visited him,we did the dinner together,he was fond of my father's dishes,on that night he was behaving differently."
"Was he sad?"I asked in between.
"No he was not a person to be sad,he was more happy that day,said some jokes and then walked towards his almirah to get something,as he said this our ears got straight,"he brought a napkin,dark black in colour with some white stripes if I
