Senthilnathan found some useful information in his research on Karthi's computer. Karthi had systematically stored a lot of information on his computer. It contained more than twice as much information and articles as books. It seemed like it would take a few days to get an overview of everything. Senthilnathan looked for Karthi’s recent searches in internet, things like latest articles read by him, articles downloaded by him. Over the past few months he has been known to be obsessed with U.F.O, spaceships, extraterrestrials, aliens, spiritual seers, ghosts and magic.
Uday, who was sitting next to him, wondered if the ghost story his mother had told him was the reason for his brother's disappearance. He has also read a lot of research articles on magic. Uday was expecting Senthilnathan to say something. But Senthilnathan was watching with interest without expressing his opinion or suspicion.
Senthilnathan, noted in mind some of the things that Karthi has been interested in recently, asked, "Shall we check Karthi’s e-mai?" He asked,
"That too will be transparent." Said Uday. It was just as he said. Senthilnathan read the emails sent by Karthi and the emails received by him. Most of the emails that came in were asking him for something suspicious and informative. All the emails he sent were emails in response to those emails. Others he sent to school and college friends and teachers. Birthday greetings and general well-being inquiries were their essence. From that, it became clear that Karthi had not shared any information about his latest research with anyone.
Senthilnathan got up thinking that this was enough for now. Uday looked at him in anticipation that he would say something. He asked the question instead of saying it. "Nirmal Akash and Harini, do they come here often?"
Uday said.
"Nirmal Akash comes at least twice a week. Harini also came here at least once a week for everything first. But she didn’t come for the last three months”
"Why?"
"I don't know"
"Does Karthi go to their house often?"
"He goes to their home very rarely."
"No"
"Have you talked to them about Karthi’s disappearance?"
“After Karthi went missing, did they called you about the same?”
“No. Do you want me to call them?” Uday asked.
“No. Give their numbers I will talk to them”
Uday said. He noted.

Grey haired man had a hard time digesting the news that the mysterious person had phoned him from his home area. Who? Is he just wandering around in this area and watching him? Is he wondering how he will react after the phone call? In the depths of the mind a kind of inexplicable fear began to take root. He was angry that someone who was like a lion had pushed him into such a situation.
He immediately phoned and ordered a person.
"Investigate if there is anyone around my house who is suspicious. No nothing. I suspect that someone is spying on the house from yesterday. No. Do not wish to register a complaint with the department since this is mere suspicion only. Look into the matter right away. ”
Nirmal Akash thought to himself, "This guy is something else. Even in this chaos he is doing what needs to be done. This skill is what keeps him going for so long."
"What about Senthilnathan’s inquiry about Karthi yesterday?" grey haired man asked,
"It's like the usual questions. Checke Karthi’s computer for information. He was there until ten o'clock at night. ”
“What did he find? ”
“The guy didn't say anything."
“Okay. Have you ever seen a big black bird? ”
"I have never seen a black bird except a crow."
“The bird I say is four times bigger than the crow. I found myself in that foothills. Maybe your friend went researching that bird? Did he say something like that to you? ”
Manish wondered if he had lost his mind due to fear or if he was visually impaired.
The grey haired man read Nirmal Akash’s thoughts and he was angry.
"I am not assuming things you educated idiot”
He would talk in that way only when he is very angry. Other times he will talk only in singular.
Akash immediately picked up his mobile phone and did a Google search for "very large black bird". There were reports of ravens in parts of North America.
"Birds like that may be from North America," he said. Our country doesn’t have those birds”
"Maybe one or two might have come here during seasonal migration. He may have gone to research it. ”
"Even so, birds have a pattern of coming here only on new moon day. Do they?”
His suspicion also seemed reasonable to him. At that moment his servant called.
"Sir, look at the news."
Grey haired man hurriedly watched the news on TV. A reporter was saying.
"The post-mortem report on his body stated that the snake that bit him was a highly venomous snake and that the bite was poisonous to death within a minute or two, causing panic among the people in the area. The people of the area are actively searching for the snake. ”
The hired killer was shown up close on the screen. There was panic on his face. It seemed to grey haired man that the last feeling he had felt while alive was still there after he was dead. In his dying moments did he saw a human or the snake?
Grey haired man remembered the smirk when he went back immediately when he brought the cardboard box containing the snake near him. Immediately a slight smile came to him now.
"Then you enjoyed my fear. Now you have died by same snake bite. Proudly boasted, you never failed in your field of work. I don’t understand whether you died after completing the work or not.”

At the same time the researcher in Bengaluru was also watching the news. He accidentally saw this news while watching every channel to see if there were any news about Karthi's missing in Tamil Nadu. The man’s corpse who came to the mountain with a cardboard box on the night of the new moon was shown in the T.V, which made him very suspicious. Is this a coincidence, or is it related to the New Moon night show?
