Chapter 12

What I could still not cope up is that rules and regulations part . We were fooled by some third party about the card who gave it to us . I could not even recognise his face because I was not there . I think that the rest of them would have surely met the man . Or any woman perhaps . That means they did not want me knowing them or was it just a coincidence . Who cares ? It's 7 in the morning and all I'm going to do is to tell this to Mr. Dawson when I reach his place .

" You are doing well , Mr . Toblin . But for now let's discuss the files our beloved Robert has given us regarding the two-months-back-earlier case " , he said after I narrated whatever struck in my mind that morning .

"The Revolvers Gaming Company . John , Paul , Oliver , Estella and Rebecca were the five victims who died . I've given you their death reports . The difference between this and the other is that all the five of them died " , Mr . Robert said it with a satisfying gesture .

" Why didn't you die Mr . Toblin ? " .

I was really taken aback by this question put forth by Dawson . Why didn't I die is not a good question to ask a living man who has more intentions to live long than to die .

" Okay . That was just an expression . Just leave it . Let's get into the files " , he said as there was no response from my side .

" Are all the five of them friends ? " , Mr . Dawson questioned .

" No " , Robert answered abruptly , " they were in fact perfect strangers to each of them " , he added .

" So this must be a peculiar case . Robert ! Would you mind if we go to the inspector in charge in that case and meet him out a little ? " , Dawson asked .

" I won't but you might . Off we go to see our lovable Charlie patrician . Lovably moronic for our Dawson in every way . Isn't he ? " . I could feel the tone in which Robert spoke these words .

" Charmwick companies Pvt ltd has organised the gaming event . A bottle was given to all five of them before they went to play . A friend of Oliver went to see him before he started the game and he said him about the bottle . The bottle was found missing when they were found dead . That's it . Other reports you have . Thank you " , Mr . Charlie answered us rather quickly .

Although he was quite rude the information was gathered quick and clear . He positively stated that there were no traces to help us finding the murderer . Both Robert and Terry Dawson consider him to be a responsible and deserving police officer and getting appreciated from these two different pillars is not an easy task that everyone could do .

The bottle thing had something in it . Then why didn't they use the same trick here ? What was the reason ? Maybe they did not want to follow the same technique ? Maybe they did not want to get caught easily ? Or maybe they just got bored of using the same method ? Are they going to do this again and again ? All these questions filled my thoughts . Somehow all the three of us must solve this crime . Together .
