Spider juice - 03

It was eight o'clock at night to reach home.

Byomkesh was in the library room, knocked on the door and opened the door and said - "What's up? Is the problem broken? ”

"No" - I entered the room and sat down in a chair. Earlier, Byomkesh was examining a piece of paper with a thick lens, but now he has lifted the instrument again. Then he glanced at me and said - "What's the matter? Since when has it become so fancy? Did you apply perfume? ”

“Makhini. I have brought it. ” I told him all the details from beginning to end, and he seemed to have listened too. In conclusion, I said - "I did not do it, brother - now see if you can do anything. But I think if you analyze this perfume, something can be found - "

"What can be found - spider juice?" Byomkesh took the cotton from my hand and took his scent and said- “Ah! Nice smell! Pure amber perfume. ” He rubbed the cotton on the skin of his hand and said - "Yes - what were you saying?" What can be found? ”

I hesitated a little and said - "Maybe Nandadulalbabu tricks me into applying perfume -"

Byomkesh laughed - Can anyone secretly use something that smells from a mile away? Have you got any proof of the perfume that Nandadulalbabu smears? ”

"I didn't get it - but -"

“No, no, no, look the other way. Think about how the thing comes into the house, how Nandadulalbabu puts it in front of everyone's eyes. Why does the white paper come by registering? Why is money sent to that woman? Have you thought about it? ”

I said desperately - "I thought a lot, but I did not."

"Think harder - if you don't bother, what's the point?"

I asked - "And you?"

“I think so too. But concentrating will probably not happen. My forgery - "he leaned on the table.

I got up from the room, lay down on the couch in our living room, and began to think again. Really, what a hard job I can't do. Of course I can.

First of all, what is the success of registering and getting white paper? Is there anything written in it with invisible ink? If so, what is the benefit of Nandadulalbabu? The thing can not reach him!

Well, let's assume that the thing somehow got inside the house from outside, but where did Nandadulalbabu keep it? It is not easy to hide a bottle of homeopathic medicine. At eight o'clock the watchful eye is on him, and he is being searched daily. But?

My head became hot at the thought, five cigars were burnt to ashes - but I didn't get an answer to a single question. At a time when I was about to give up, I came up with a wonderful idea. I sat up in a comfortable chair with a thud. Is that even possible! Or - not possible or why? Even if it sounds a little unusual, what else can happen? Byomkesh says that if there is logical evidence of something but it seems seemingly impossible, then it must be taken as true. In this case too, this is the only solution.

Thinking that I would tell Byomkesh, Byomkesh herself came and entered; He looked me in the face and said - "What? Don't you think so? ”

"Maybe I did."

“Pretty much.What do you think? ”

Going to speak, I started to stop a little, but I forced my hesitation and said - “Look, I saw some spiders on the wall of Nandadulalbabu's house, now I remember. I believe he is one of them. "

"Eat for a while!" - Byomkesh laughed out loud, "Ajit, you are a genius! You have no pair. If you play with the spiders on the wall, you won't get intoxicated, brother. Do you understand? ”

I got excited and said - "Well, but you say."

Byomkesh sat down in the chair and put her feet on the table. Lazily holding a cigar, he said, "Do you understand why he calls for white paper?"

"No."

"Do you understand why the money was sent to the Jewish woman?"

"No."

I don't understand why Nandadulalbabu writes obscene stories day and night? ”

“No. Do you understand? ”

"Maybe I understand," Byomkesh pulled out a long cigar and said with closed eyes - "But it would not be appropriate to comment until you know something about it without any doubt."

"What about?"

Byomkesh said with a happy look - "We need to know first what color Nandadulalbabu's tongue is."

It seemed that Byomkesh was making fun of me, I said angrily - "Do you understand that it is a joke?"

"Joke!" Byomkesh opened her eyes and saw the expression on our face and said- “Are you angry? Honestly, it's not a joke. Everything depends on the color of Nandadulalbabu's tongue. If the color of his tongue is red, then I understand my guess is correct, and if not -. You probably didn't notice? ”

I said angrily - "No, I did not think to notice the tongue."

Byomkesh said with a laugh - “But that should have been the case earlier. Anyway, do one thing, call and get the news from Nandadulalbabu's son. ”

"Don't you think I'm joking?"

Byomkesh shook his hand and said in the language of poetry - "I am not afraid, you are not afraid, he is not afraid - there is nothing in your thoughts -"

I went to the next room, found the number and called. Mohan was still there, he replied - "That word did not seem necessary, so I did not say. Nandadulalbabu's tongue is bright red. Seems a little unusual, Because he doesn't drink much. Why don't I see the ball? ”

I called Byomkesh, Byomkesh came and said- “Is it red? But let's see what else has happened. " He took the phone from my hand and said- “Doctor? It's good. Your puzzle has been answered. Yes, Ajit thought - I just helped a little. I was busy with forgery, so - yes, I caught the forgery.You don't have to do anything special, just remove the red ink and the red fountain pen from Nandadulalbabu's house.… Yes - that's right. When you come tomorrow, I will say everything - well, hello. I would like to thank Ajit on your behalf. Did I say that his intellect has become very sharp nowadays? ” Byomkesh put down the phone with a smile.

When I came back to the sitting room, I said with a shy face, "I understand a little bit, but you say everything clearly. How do you know? ”

Byomkesh glanced at her watch and said, “It's time for dinner, now Puttiram will come to call. Well, listen, I'm quick. - From the beginning you were going the wrong way. We have to see how the thing enters the house. He doesn't have his own hands and feet, so someone must come with him. Who is he? Five people enter the house - a doctor, two sons, a wife and another. It is certain that the first four will not eat poison, so this is the work of the fifth person. ”

"Who is the fifth person?"

“The fifth person is Peon. He enters Nandadulalbabu's house to sign once a week. So the thing enters the house through him. ”

"But there is nothing in the envelope except white paper."

"That's the deception. Everyone thinks the thing is in the envelope, so no one notices Peon. The man is careful, he effortlessly changes the red ink and leaves. The purpose of registering and sending a white paper is to allow Peon to enter Nandadulalbabu's house at some point. ”

"Then?"

“You made another mistake; The money was sent to the Jewish woman - Not in the form of pension, and the practice is not prevalent anywhere - money is the price of medicine, that beggar provides medicine in the hands of the peon.

“Then look, the medicine reached Nandadulalbabu's hand, no one knew. But there are people in the house at eight o'clock, how does he eat? Nandadulalbabu started writing stories. There is always a writing tool at hand, so you don't even have to get up and eat - you can do it by sitting on the bed. He writes stories with a black pen, marks it with a red pen, and sucks the nib of the pen whenever there is a gap. When the ink runs out, he is filling the fountain pen again. Do you understand now that the color of the tongue is red? ”

"But what do you do if you understand that it will be red?" Could it be black? ”

“Alas, you don't understand it! Black ink costs more than that. Nandadulalbabu Amulyanidhi can be more expensive? So the red ink system. ”

"Got it. It's so easy."

"It's easy. But the head of the person from whom this simple intellect came out is not the object of negligence. You couldn't catch it because it was so easy. ”

"What do you do when you get caught?"

“Very easily. Two things seem completely useless in this regard – one, coming up with a white paper by registering; Two, writing the story of Nandadulalbabu. The real reason came out while trying to find the real reason for these two. ”

The telephone rang in the next room, and we both got up quickly. Byomkesh picked up the phone and asked - "Who are you?" O-Doctor Babu, what's up? Nandadulalbabu is shouting?Throwing hands and feet? Whatever it is, whatever it is, there will be no harm in it.… Ah! What are you saying? Are you abusing Ajit? Shakar Bakar Lile?… Heavy injustice. Heavy injustice but - when his mouth is not going to be closed, what is the other way? Ajit, however, does not care; He knows that unmixed praise is not found in the world. Honey and stinging thorns the rules of this world… well, hello. ”
