Noise is Good – A Murder Mystery (Part 6)

“Why should I?” Pooja asked.

“That’s what I am trying to find out,” PSI Jadhav said.

Soon, Nitya got Pooja released on bail because there was no direct evidence against Pooja. Neither was there any witness, who had seen her killing the woman.

When they reached home, Pooja’s mother revealed, “That’s your dupatta!”

“Mom, how can that be? I did not go to their place.”

“Vageshwari has been stealing things from our home during our absence, don’t you remember? You were looking for this dupatta last week. It has the laundry mark of the nearby shop.”

“Oh My God! I am doomed.”

Nitya said thoughtfully, “I don’t think so. Only we need to prove that these people have been stealing stuff from your place. And that might be a tough job without a CCTV camera or any other witness. The society members know something, but are not ready to talk about it.”

Nitya snapped her fingers, “Just check if any of your jewelry is missing?”

Pooja went to her room and opened her wardrobe to reveal that one pair of earrings had indeed disappeared with some other gold-plated artificial jewelry. She looked all over the wardrobe, but couldn’t find them.

“Nitya, one pair of gold earrings and others are missing.”

“Are these the gold ones?” their lawyer pulled out her mobile and showed them the pictures of Vageshwari’s dead body wearing… wearing similar earrings.

“These look like them!” Pooja exclaimed.

“I thought so. I have seen you wearing them. They are very unique and fit your style. Do you have the receipt for these with you? Are these hallmarked?”

“Yes, of course. I buy only hall-marked jewelry and from the same shop.” Pooja produced the receipt for the earrings. She also brought out a picture of her wearing those earrings. “But, how are these going to help us?”

“Just wait and see,” Nitya chalked out a plan.
