Lunch time.

Then you will go to Chandragarh.  But how to catch the demon? I do not understand.  Can the vampire be caught again?

Jayant will understand when you go there. 

Colonel, if we can catch the vampire, we'll be famous, won't we?

Yes, we will be famous. 

Moving has increased in many other places lately. All the demons must be caught. Ha! Ha! Ha! You are right Jayant. 

Now I am a retired officer. I just don't want to spend my time sitting still. So I am going to catch the vampire from now on, that is, I will do the work of revealing the secret of the vampire. What do you say?  That's right you can now become known as a Lord of the Rings. We need two special things to unravel the mystery of the demon.

One is courage and the other is intellect.Do you have these two things?

Yes, Colonel. I have both courage and intelligence.  I have heard that vampires are not very terrible. I know they look weird. They have big teeth, big nails, red eyes, messy hair, terrible face.

Yes.

Mr. Haldar is again a man of fickle nature. He does not have patience again. That's why he left as soon as he heard. How can you be saved if you are alone in danger?  The Colonel sat motionless and said that it was not right for Mr. Haldar to go alone. So, Colonel Niladri Sorkar, you did not say anything more about the riddle. What do you understand? Mr.Colonel became deep in thought without answering.

After a while, he came back from the world of thought and said that vampires are not a form of primitive man. 

I said, "I am a journalist and I have no idea about science."

Maybe. The two of us went deeper into the vampire mystery as we talked. The Colonel suddenly noticed that his cigar was gone. He thought of taking another cigar. Then he thought it was noon. So he slowly got up.

I noticed a look of concern on his face.

Colonel Niladri Sorkar said, "Jayant now wash your hands and face well. I go and tell your sister-in-law to cook something good and bad."

So the Colonel left and I went to wash my hands and face. I washed my hands and sat in the dining room. After a while Mr. Colonel came.

Joyant, you have done a great job. Surely my breasts are swollen with pride.

I said, "I did not understand what I did."

Mr.Colonel said, "Yes, you have solved a very big problem." 

The Colonel's wife brought food. She has cooked several different things. Meat, hilsa fish, fried eggs, pulses and much more. Seeing all this, water came on my tongue.

However.

I said, "What was the need to do so much?"

Mr.Colonel said, "Eat-eat. Start eating without feeling ashamed."

I started eating with food on my plate. I told Colonel to eat too. He also started eating. I saw the impression of worry on his face while eating.  Looks like he's thinking deeply.

At the end of our meal, sister-in-law gave us paise. After eating the delicious paise with almonds and raisins, I said that then we too will be spies like Mr.Haldar, so not Mr.Colonel.

Colonel Niladri Sorkar laughed a little and said," Detective?"

He said nothing more. You will come to Haripur bus stand tomorrow morning. We will leave for Chandragarh from there.

I said, "Okay."

I will go there in the morning and wait, then the two of us will leave for Chandragarh.
