Murder Mystery - Salve Regimen-3

Vijay is a professional rock climber to say in precise. He always used to climb up the peaks on the other side of MRAC whenever he needs some diversion. He will clinch the slippery rocks with his own hands. Some of the researches are having the photographs of Vijay with an outstanding pose of clinching the top of the rocks with his two or three fingers alone. His fingers have got that much power to balance his own body.
All the top research crews of MRAC were held in a thrill that within two consecutive days Lekha’s team of top researchers are no more. Arjun is in a highly confused state what next needs to be done. He called up the Mumbai CID department and spoke to Surya. Naveena thinks that he might be bringing him into this picture for further investigation. One thing was not clear with her as why did the CRS will bring an external agent to work on this? Why can’t our security team able to handle this?
Again Lekha and Naveena are engaged in getting the access reports of Vijay from the control center. With the help of Francis, the access reports of the Vijay are produced in the conference hall of MRAC on Arjun’s demand.
All the three of them sat in the room and analyzed the access reports of Vijay. As usual they focused on the last ten records.

All the accessories or things that can be accessed via remote control or being secured are having logging facility in the control server. He left the suite in the early morning for his rock climbing. As there is nothing logging devices in the way, no logs can be found for Vijay after he left the suite.
“There is something wrong going on in MRAC. Some thing is affecting the researches I guess. Might be there is an infection or after effect or consequences of our current research that affects the scientists. But I need to tell you one thing, it may even affect any one or all of us here in the near future” Arjun said to the ladies.
“Sir. If it’s a side effect of our research then why my team members are alone had the effect? It should have spread across the MRAC or all over the X-City” Lekha made her point in the hall.
“May be it will affect the researchers of the R-Box alone” Naveena made her opinion too.
“What ever it may be, I need to do these following items as your action points.
a) Make sure that R-Box doesn’t have any leakage
b) With the help of Francis make sure the R-Box is secured till now and there are no security breaches.
c) Check all the scientists who are all working in R-Box with you as a top priority check followed by the rest in MRAC and you both have to give me the assurance that they doesn’t have any other foreign particles even its of MRAC.
Ensure all the items are to be covered with a couple of days” Arjun asked the ladies in the hall.
“Yes Sir. We will do that” Lekha replied quickly.
“Good. One person named Surya will be soon coming down to X-City for proper investigation over these incidents”, he added.
“If you don’t mind may I ask you a doubt? What is the necessary for a non member of X-City comes into picture?” Naveena asked him finally.
“I always prefer to hear a third person’s opinion. I don’t want to always go with our security views. Is there any thing else?” he stood up finally as if he is about to leave.
“No Sir”, said the ladies and they left the conference room.

The rest of the day ended up with lots of leakage checks, security breaches check and the regular body checkup. No one other than the R-Box researchers was aware of the reason behind these checks. Arjun strictly mentioned the ladies as not to create panic in the X-City. They followed what the CRS mentioned to do so. These checks are carried out on the following day also till the evening.
The evening has begun and the sun is about to set between the two peaks. A helicopter is approaching the X-City helipad. Some of the researches in the city are surprised to see a strange flying object over their city. They didn’t see any other helicopters other than X-City helicopters. They are usually used to pick the top military people from the pickup point. And they didn’t even heard of any other flying object’s noise as this is suppose to be a secured area and no air planes are allowed to fly over these areas. If any such plane breaks the rule, there is an automatic security system that triggers the missiles to break down the planes of any kind. They called the air space as that in the Bermuda Triangle. Any object that enters the area will not come back. If the top generals made a visit, the X-City security persons manually shut the security systems for a while to make way to the people.
This means that the security is shut down now. The helicopter landed in the helipad. Naveena and Lekha are watching this scene and they are not able figure it out who is coming till MRAC. As the helipad is in the plateau region (down the MRAC) they could see only the helicopter wings.
With sun in between the two peaks, and the helicopter wings revolving slowly, a man is walking quickly towards the MRAC wearing a long suit and one light black goggle adding to his personality.
Naveena guessed he should be Surya. He is in average height touching 6 feet, slim and brownish in the late 20’s. His long suit perfectly fits well especially when it wobbles around the hot air and seeing it in its flames. Surya is working with CID for the past three years. Before that he served multiple roles starting from youngest spy in the nation, Assistant to ambassador, chief operational General for the Para-military forces. His multiplicity in services brings him a lot of contacts across nations and that’s how he was appointed as a CID Chief General for SPACRA. SPACA stands for South Pacific Asian Countries Research Association which helps the research facilities across the Asian pacific countries.
Lekha is freeze to see such a handsome guy in the MRAC. She liked his hair enjoying the evening see breeze from Indian Ocean. Arjun joined the ladies to welcome Surya.
In the night, all the four Arjun, Surya, Naveena and Lekha joined in a conference hall and they discussed about the several possibilities of the incidents that happened in this week. They showed the reports of Ravi and Vijay to Surya for further investigation.

After some minutes, Arjun started, “So what do you think about these incidents Surya?”
“Hmm. I can’t guess anything at this stage Arjun. But I can assure you that I can show you the progress within a couple of day’s time” Surya replied watching the reports.
“It’s okay. Take your own time. You can also take help from these ladies” Arjun pointed out the other girls.
“Thanks. I need to know about what kind of project is going on in this place. It may give me a clue to further investigation” Surya asked the ladies in general.
Arjun explained about the BMI control project and its merge with the Germanium Industries by the help of Arun and he described everything till the conference date. Arjun doesn’t believe his own ears as these types of projects existing in this world.
When Arjun finishes everything, it’s nearly 9:00 pm. Arjun asked Surya to call him any time for his help. Also he called Francis and asked him to give full access permissions to the X-City. Surya asked for one to one investigation talks with everyone. Arjun approved for the same including him. “Who is the one who interacted more with Germanium Industries for this merge Project?” Surya asked Arjun before leaving. Arjun replied “Lekha knows more about the Industry than any one else?” and also left the conference room.
At this stage Surya’s only wild guess may be in the patent making. Usually these are very rare and uncommon projects that prevail in the world. So the authorities tried to get the patent for him for these types of projects to get the huge profit. But he didn’t want to further only in that way.
“I need to talk to both of you ladies. This is an informal talk and I want a promise from both of you that even your chief didn’t know about this talk” Surya said to the girls.
“Yeah we promise. What information do you want?” Lekha acted smart.
“Cool. You got the point. All I need is some more information on all of the top generals in this city” Surya continued.
“When I see these reports of the two incidents, it seems that something strange should been happened to the both…….”
“Ravi”, Naveena filled up
“And Vijay”, Lekha filled her part.
“Yeah. I guess some thing is injected on both of them. But I can’t guess where. But this should be for sure if I know if anything that can injected as a medicine can be controlled from outside?”, he placed the report and showing the comparison to the ladies.
“What sort of medicine that you want to control from outside? The only such project is about to begin” Naveena asked him.
“May be similar to the body control medicine that can be controlled by a sort of remote control” Surya stammered as he didn’t get the words to describe.
“Hold on. Your imagination is too high. Both are mutually exclusive. You can’t control a medicine through a remote control. The present project of merging is just act like a one way switch. It keeps on emits the medicine to reduce or to increase the body weight. But it is a timed fashion as you imagine” Naveena described the medicinal facts.
“If a medicine is emitted / ejected based on an input, why can’t it be a timed fashion?” Surya asked the ladies.
“May be. But it’s not into existence till now. I know some of the secret projects of Germanium Industries. They never had any such projects even in the pipelines” Lekha made her point with confirm.

Surya wanted to ask the ladies, “If a lay man can think about the timed fashion of chips to control, why a scientist can’t do and that to for such a long period?” But he didn’t ask them. He wanted to deal with this personally.
“So if your medicine is injected, then can’t it be traced in a dead body?”
“Not fully. But we can detect up to some extent. What’s your doubt now?” Lekha asked.
“Did you check and find any traces for the new medicine in the dead body?” Surya continued.
“That’s what she already said. We can’t assure that our medicine is injected in there bodies. See this medicine is directly affecting the calories, fats and proteins. Those can be reduced by ‘n’ number of ways, lets say by exercise also, a natural method. But this medicine is only advancement where in it applied directly and it gives the results quickly. Only the consumption can be detected, just like the alcohol consumption to take it as an example” Naveena educated Surya about their new project.
“I guess the alcohol consumption can also be found in the blood as traces, if I’m not wrong” Surya came across one investigation case a long back in his career.
My God he is genius, Lekha thought. “She didn’t finished officer. We can find the traces of our project until the medicine is acting as inducers. Say the alcohol stops to induce the brain if the person is dead. So the remnants can be easily detected. But in out case, it is acting on the flesh. So the body may be contacted or expanded after death, if some medicine is left in the blood” Lekha continued the discussion.
“Good catch. So did you find any weight difference in the dead bodies?” Surya finally came to the point.
“No. It is exactly the same weight as mentioned in out records. Of course we neglect the mass change of the person after death. Both the persons are with the same weight after they died” Naveena responded swiftly.

“I need you personal time on your suites for me regarding this case. I hope you can share with me without any difficulty?” Surya asked the ladies.
“I can. But don’t come in the midnights after 11:00. I always want to sleep tight” Lekha responded.
“Any time is okay for me” Naveena continued.
“Good. Then thanks for your valuable time and inputs tonight” Surya said and all the three left the room.

Surya is busy with collecting the information on structure and security of the MRAC on the next day. He decided to have the personal talks rather than the group talks. So he decided to start with the Arjun first.
He talked like a friend rather than an officer. Arjun doesn’t seem to reveal much information to him. So he decided to ask any one of the ladies about MRAC and Arjun. He approached Francis to know the details.
“Francis. Could you please help me in telling me a secret? Who is close to Arjun in this city?” Surya asked.
“Naveena is the one who is always with him. To be precise, she is like his daughter. Why are you asking this to me?” Francis replied as if he is puzzled.
“No just like a gossip. Don’t tell to any one that I asked this. I’ll maintain that you never told anything to me other than security systems” Surya smiled on Francis. Francis also smiled back in acceptance of the deal.

Surya went to Naveena’s suite in the evening. They chat for more than hour about the Ravi’s behavior and his disappearance in the middle of the night.
“Guess I’m done with what I’ve known so far officer. How is your investigation progressing?” Naveena took a deep breadth after she told everything to him.
“Hmm. It’s going slowly. I still didn’t get the point or the motive behind all these incidents” Surya replied in an unwilling voice.
Surya is not able to believe ANYONE in the X-City at the present situation. So he decided not to disclose any of his ideas or motive to anyone.
“If you didn’t mistake me, shall I ask you a personal question?” Surya continued.
“Yeah Sure. My pleasure” said Naveena
“You and Lekha are just in the middle of 20’s. Don’t you have any sexual feeling? I’m not asking particularly you both. But to all the women and men in the X-City” he fixed his eyes on her eyes after asking this question.
“I understand why you have asked this question. I’ll make it in simple words. See, the sexual feeling arouses in a person is particularly based on a hormonal secretion and excretion or the hormonal changes in the body to say it in a high level. What we actually do is, when the people are in early 10’s and the teen age begins, everyone must undergo a treatment which is specialized for controlling or stopping the hormone to be secreted. So nobody will have the sexual arouse in this city. Is this clear to you?” she replied back.
There is no trace of hiding any sort of truth found in her. Surya confirmed this with her eye’s reaction.
“Yeah. It’s clear. So which means that there is no future generation for the scientists in the X-City?” he continued.
“Your question doesn’t make any sense. We only stopped the hormonal secretion so that the feeling is stopped. But if we mate than we can have children as in the case of outer world”
Surya remembers that only very few in the X-City are exposed to the outer world. That too, Arjun and Naveena are the only persons who came out of the X-City so far. So she must be aware of his culture, custom and other stuffs.

“So is there any children born in this X-City like this?” Surya asked to Naveena.
“Hmm. Not in the X-City” she replied.
The answer freaked him. Not in this city means is that some where else. Which means that some one from here had children in outside world? It’s is so confusing him. Arjun and Naveena are the only two persons who came to outside world. Arjun is running in late 50’s. Oh my God. His heart beats with acceleration.
“Not in the X-City. Which means that you had a baby in outside world?” he asked her without controlling the suspense and shock.

She smiled and looked around to make sure nobody will hear the secret. “I know that you will end up in this decision” she continued. “It’s not me who had a baby in the other world. It’s our Chief Arjun had a daughter and a family”
“What? Arjun had a family?” Surya was hit by a big blow after hearing this news. Something strikes him. Why always the people in the higher authority are bound to break the rule. This case seems to be simple for Surya.
This is nothing but a simple money raising plan for his family to generations if he gets the patent rights for distributing the medicine. Some how he managed to murder the top research scientists and he wants to run an individual business in the other world.
“How did you know that he had a daughter and family?” Surya asked her.
“He once told me that he had a family and daughter in the other world. But his daughter died when she was on 15. When I joined as a research scientist, some how I resembled like his daughter. So he cares me very much like his daughter” Naveena described to him.
“What about the rest of the family?” he didn’t let her stop.
“I don’t know about the rest. He only told me this much details” She didn’t seem to hide anything to Surya.

He assured her not to tell about Arjun’s family to any one and left her suite. This clearly brings the light to him why Arjun doesn’t reveal anything to him. He wanted to check with him in the next morning as early as possible. He didn’t get the sleep in the night. He is thinking about a lot of possibilities and the motives for the incidents. He is not able to stop and delimit with a single notion.
Early morning Surya’s intercom buzzed with continuous rings. He reached the phone in giddiness as he slept only in the early morning. With half sleep he picked up the receiver.

“Officer! This is Lekha reporting from Germanium Industries. Arjun is found dead at the main research lab. He is being hit by the lasers as a result of security breach”
