15. The strange series



Rudran left early in the morning for his argument at the court. And Jeffery came to meet James. He told James that, he found something odd in the post script of his message and he worked on it.

Make out, surely cool VIP.

And from the inferences of James, he understood that SOS was an expert in anagrams. So, he tried to form different anagrams of the PS and finally arrived at

Look at my previous clue.

James was surprised by this, because he never thought in that line and was impressed by the talent of Jeffery.

James asked Jeffery, “Have you found anything else mate?”

Jeffery replied, “I was thinking about it only. But I am not sure with the anagram I worked out. So I did not proceed in that way, because it could misguide us in the wrong way”

James thought for a while before making his reply, “I think I got it. There was a cell phone in the previous clue. And it was a nokia cell phone. In this clue it is given, stop predicting. So let me stop switch of the prediction mode in my phone and type the numbers 44-2-777-7777-44-2-0-66-444-3-44-444, given in the clue”

James had the nokia cell phone too. He typed down the message to get Harsha Nidhi as the answer. ‘It must be Harsha Nidhi’, thought James. Harsha Nidhi was the central minister of information technology. He had gained a high respect in the society. And he had never lost a single election he had contested. He has been the Member of Parliament for the past 17 years.

James immediately called Steve and informed him his findings. He told Steve that it must be Harsha Nidhi and he must be given high protection. Steve had confirmed that, SOS hadn’t killed Harsha Nidhi and adequate protection could be given to him.

Though, James asked to keep this matter highly confidential because SOS may come to kill the minister and he could be arrested on his attempt. But, the news somehow got leaked to the press and they it was made the hot news. James was working on collecting the information about Angelina and Harsha Nidhi and he tried to find a pattern or similarity in their profile.

One obvious similarity was that they were all famous personalities. One common feature between Angelina and Harsha Nidhi was that they were married twice. Other than that, there seemed no connection between them. Five days passed in the investigation of this and in that time, James had formed a good friendship with Jeffery. Jeffery was an orphan and was staying in solitude. That day, James thought that ‘it was tenth and the next day eleventh was a prime day, SOS had not chosen the previous prime day may be because of the security. SOS may make an attempt tomorrow!’

James’ thought turned out to be true. Harsha Nidhi was killed the next day by SOS. He was killed in his bathroom. He entered the bathroom, to have bath and never returned. After an hour, his security guards, grew suspicious over his prolonged bath and broke the bathroom door, to find that he was dead.

SOS had left a clue this time too. He had written some strange symbols with his sign.

The extension.

- SOS

I'm feeble, polite ogre.

PS: To filthy, new path.

James arrived at the crime scene and was surprised that SOS had succeeded once again. Full security had been provided to Harsha Nidhi and still they had failed. James noted that, the clues given by SOS are getting smaller every murder.
