REMINISCENCE OF SAI MURUGAN

                                                   THE CASE OF MURDERED MINISTER
                                                       SCENE 5
                                     I and the inspector rushed to the hospital.A lanky youngster with a bright face was lying in the threshold of death."Forgive me Lord!"-he was murmuring.There were bruises all over his body.We came out of the ICU.The surroundings were stinky.

"What idea do you get from these bruises ,Mith?" asked the inspector lighting the cigar.

"I don't have any idea Sir"

"Well,it means you have learnt nothing but a zilch from me,Mith"a voice that was very familiar quipped.

"Sai!it is a surprise to see you here" cried the inspector.

"The case is solved old pal" remarked the genius.

"What do you mean?" inquired Balaji.

"It was his own son who murdered the minister to gain political mileage" paused Sai to see us in dismay.

"As you can see,when we went to the scene of murder,the tracks that were there conveyed that the murder had come in a car.And you could see that though the shoe-marks on the track were big,the thrust given to the ground was low,indicating that the murderer was a man of probably lesser weight that drew me to the conclusion that he must be a thin person"

"And do you think this is enough for you to conclude that his son is the culprit?" the inspector asked.

Though i was too shocked to utter any word,i was not dumb to listen the conversation.

"Point number two is that any minister would not dare out to venture alone without his security.I inquired his security.I was told that the minister was on an important job and he did not require the securities.I could make out that it must have been his family affair."

"Wow!"-Balaji.

"On inquiring his cook,I found that there was a heated argument between the father and his son the previous day on who would stand for the upcoming election"

"Very satisfactory.Can you pain yourself to explain about the bruises over his son's body?"

"Simple.முற்பகல் செயின் பிற்பகல் தாமே விளையும்.The conscience, you see place a role.The son had not slept because of the hard feeling.you could see from his eyes clearly.He must have jumped off from the upstairs of his house into the bushes background"

"Aah!That explains his murmur.You won this time too Sai.Congrats!"-Balaji.

"Everything is perfect Sir" I said as we were walking to our "home"."But why did Navin shout 'He was on a murder spree'?"

"Human tendency Mith!That is how poor Navin could have irritated the inspector who forced life out of him" he winked.
