After a sunny morning and afternoon what followed was a mild windy evening much to everybody's delight. Champ7 team assembled at the Civil Lines Park. Vicky and Nattu were the last ones to reach there.

'Friends, I'm sure You must have completed the task you were assigned with. Let's update one by one with your findings. Jayati, Why don't you start first?' Vicky, as usual spearheaded the discussion.

'Guys, I met with the Informers early in the day and put them on task of identifying all the persons with initials A.G. in our city especially those who have criminal background.' Jayati stood up and started sharing her findings.

'Later in the day, I got call back from them to come and discuss their findings. In line with what Inspector Avinash said, they too confirmed that Mr. A.G. is nothing but Abdul Gaffar from Kasba Ghati. His Goldsmith business is just for the namesake. He actually is a big time crook who was involved in several robberies and burglaries in the past. He has been jailed couple of times. People in his area have confirmed seeing him wearing such Tawiz. Lately they haven't seen him much though.' Jayati went on.

'Peer Fakir Baba also said the same thing. Although he didn't remember the person's name but he does recollect giving such a Tawiz to someone in Kasba Ghati area. Based on the description he provided it matches with the sketch of Abdul Gaffar we have received from Inspector Avinash.' Interrupted Surabhi.

'Peer Fakir Baba mentioned to us that he generally doesn't distribute these Tawiz to everyone but only to his devotees. Abdul Gaffar was his regular visitor and hence Baba blessed him with a Tawiz as a lucky charm. He must have printed his initials on the Tawiz later on.' Pranshu joined in.

So far based on the information fetched by Jayati, Surabhi and Pranshu, it all pointed towards Abdul Gaffar from Kasba Ghati. All eyes were on Vicky and Nattu now to share their findings.

'We searched the whole Kasba Ghati area but didn't come across Abdul Gaffar. We were told by people out there of seeing him yesterday. But all of a sudden, he has disappeared now as if he smelled some danger and ran away hiding somewhere else.' Said Nattu.

'What surprises me is the fact that Abdul Gaffar has so far been involved in crimes such as theft and robbery. He however has no criminal record that suggests any direct or indirect involvement in murder.' Said Vicky. 'Not just one but three to be exact.' He further added.

'What did you guys find?' Asked Nattu looking at Joseph and Nikita.

'Not much really. Whole of Empire Street appeared like a Ghost Town with hardly anyone out in the middle. ' Replied Nikita.

'Other than the Police, off course.' added Joseph to where Nikita left.

'So all in all we can conclude that the person we are looking for is indeed Abdul Gaffar from Kasba Ghati. We need to find him. I will update Inspector Avinash with our findings later tonight.' Said Vicky.

'So friends, Are you also preparing for the upcoming contest?' As usual Pranshu diverted everybody's attention from the topic.

'Yes, I'm there with you.' Surabhi was quick to add.

'So do I'  Said Nattu. It took everybody by surprise.

'Well, I have a liking for drawings as well. With so much of money at stake, why not to give it a try?' replied Nattu.

'By the way, What is the theme for this contest?' Asked Joseph.

'In addition to beauty of the city, the contestant need to draw on a canvas poster showing skyscrapers, tall buildings, engineers and and the construction workers on the construction site.' Replied Surabhi.

'Interesting' Said Vicky.

It was typical of Nattu to reach late. He was not known for his punctuality after all. Just when Vicky gave up, he saw Nattu coming towards him on his bicycle.

'I am so sorry, I kept you waiting for long. My cousin has come all the way from States. He bought me this lovely I-Phone. I got busy with him exploring different features and Apps.' Said Nattu, showing Vicky his I-Phone.

Vicky did not react.

It didn't take Nattu long to realize that Vicky is very upset of him coming late.

'I knew we were scheduled to meet here at 9 but somehow I completely lost track of time. These phones are so interesting you know, Its all them to blame really for me coming late here.'  Nattu tried to persuade Vicky.

'Should we start? We have lot to do.' asked Vicky vehemently.

'Oh, Sure' replied Nattu.

Nattu's love for cell phones, gadgets, video games etc. was well known. When it comes to gadgets, Nattu was a master technician. He had a wide range of apps installed on his cell phone. You name the app and Nattu would know about it. He was the go to man if someone face any difficulties operating any gadget.

Soon Vicky and Nattu were on their way to Kasba Ghati to look for Abdul Gaffar.

Based on the information shared by Inspector Avinash, Kasba Ghati was a notorious slum area situated in Eastern part of town.

Inspector Avinash had warned them to exercise extreme precautions while wandering in this slum area. There were at least two people who lived in Kasba Ghati and later on became most wanted criminals.

While Vicky and Nattu headed for Kasba Ghati, Joseph and Nikita were already out there patrolling in Empire Street. Their task was to hunt down any suspicious person or activity and to report it to Inspector Avinash and their fellow Champ7 friends.

It was hot day with sun shining bright. The Empire Street was under police surveillance. Joseph and Nikita tried their best looking around for anything suspicious without any success.

'I seriously doubt the killer will take a chance so soon, especially with so many police around.' said Nikita looking down trying to escape heat.

'Yep. Also the schools are closed and so are extra classes and private tuition. He probably will wait for situation to subside before targeting his next victim.' nodded Joseph.

'Let's stick around till 4 pm. If we don't see anything fishy, we shall leave and join our friends at the Civil Lines Park' Joseph further added.

Jayati knew exactly where to find the Informers. Last night, she had called them up and fixed an appointment with them. She had met them in the past many a times. They were a group of three youngsters. They knew various people, groups, organizations etc. involved in crime. Their work was to provide the information on criminal person or activity in exchange of compensation.

Jayati spotted them standing near the bus stop waiting for her. She approached them and shared the important details on the case. She handed them the photographs of Tawiz and asked them to revert back with details on A.G. and headed back home.

Surabhi and Pranshu arrived at the famous Durgah, a Muslim shrine in the city. They were looking for a Peer Fakir.

Fakirs are generally regarded as holy men who are possessed of miraculous powers. They are mostly wandering and does not have a set place. After talking to people around Surabhi and Pranshu got to know about the place where Peer Fakir Baba can be found.

It was not that easy. It took them quite some time to trace Peer Fakir Baba.

Fakir baba was an old man in his sixties. He had long hairs and sported a big bushy beard. He wore the rags that he probably found on the streets.

Pranshu hesitantly pushed the Tawiz towards him and asked if it belonged to him and if he had given it to someone as his blessings.

There was sheer excitement and enthusiasm among school kids about the upcoming drawing competition. Attractive hoardings, banners were put up in the City displaying the details about it. Such contests were held in the past but nothing matched the one announced by Mr. Diwan.

People were amazed with the prize money amount quoted for the first three winners. School kids enrolled themselves for the contest like never before. The parents too paid special attention to this and were helping their kid in preparing for the contest. News and Print media also helped in spreading awareness about this contest.

People were heard talking about Mr. Diwan and the contest every nook and corner. Other than the information that he was a middle aged businessman who hails from northern pat of country, hardly anyone in the city knew much about him.

In between all this, there was a meeting going on in the Superintendent of Police office.

'Hey, Avinash. Good Morning!! Please come join us.' Greeted Mr. Gupta, the Superintendent of Police.

Mr. Gupta had assigned Inspector Avinash on the Empire Street killing case. He called up Avinash in early morning hours and had asked him to be in office by 8:30 am to discuss this case with City Mayor.

'Meet Mr. Shah. I'm sure you must have already met him earlier on several occasions.' Said Mr. Gupta.

'Off course. There is hardly anybody in the town who doesn't know him' Said Inspector Avinash shaking hands with Mr. Shah.

'Thank you for your kind words, Inspector.' Said Mr. Shah expressing his gratitude.

Rajendra Shah was a prominent businessman and also mayor of the city. The multimillionaire was known for his simplicity and humility. Started his career as a goldsmith, he later on ventured into many businesses and charity work. He has also set up couple of well known medical centers in the city where poor and needy were given high class medical treatment at a very discounted rate. He was popular and respected among all members of the society. He got re-elected unopposed straight for the 3rd time. 

'Mr. Shah is leaving for Delhi in an hour's time from now to meet some delegates. Since he will be out of the town for about couple of days, he has asked me to arrange this meet to get a handle on the progress you made so far on this case.'  Said Mr. Gupta mentioning the purpose of the meeting.

'Thanks for coming down, Sir. I have engaged the services of Secret agents Champ7 on this case. I am confident of catching the murderer before he can commit another crime. Meanwhile, we have kept entire Empire Street area under police surveillance.' Briefed Inspector Avinash on the status so far.

'I am glad that Secret Agents Champ7 team is also working on this case. They are a group of very brave and clever teen detectives. I would like to know the details on kind of progress you guys have made. Did you find any substantial evidence?' Queried Mr. Shah.  

'The murderer is very clever. He hasn't left any finger prints behind. We are still investigating the motive behind these killings. We have found a Tawiz at the crime site which has initials 'A.G.' printed on it.' Replied Inspector Avinash.

Inspector Avinash then apprised Mr. Shah on the status and their further plans.

'Superb. Keep in mind that it has now become a very high profile case. There is ever growing pressure from media and ruling high command. Time is quickly running out of our hand. We only have a week's time. While I have full confidence in your and Champ7's capabilities, you guys need to act fast.' cautioned Mr. Shah.

'Sure. We are up to the task.' Assured Mr. Gupta.

'By the way, I heard that you are the guest of honor for the much talked about upcoming drawing contest.' Asked Mr. Gupta.

'Oh, yeah. I will be back in the City by then. Mr. Diwan approached me and requested to chair the prize distribution to which I obliged. I met him for the first time.' Said Mr. Shah.

'I am impressed that he wants to encourage young kids towards Art & Culture and hence came up with this lucrative idea. In fact the timing of this contest is god sent. I am sure the contest will get all the limelight and for the time being it will divert people's attention from killings saga.' Continued Mr. Shah after a brief pause.

'Very true' nodded Mr. Gupta.

'Mr. Gupta, Please keep me posted with the regular updates' demanded Mr. Shah before leaving.

It was half past nine. Vicky was anxiously waiting for Nattu from past half an hour.

'Its good in a way that Schools are going to stay closed for next few days. We can use this time to make further inroads and hopefully will be able to solve this case in due time. I know that a break such as this will hamper the rhythm and we will have tough time adjusting to lost time to cover the remaining syllabus once the school resumes back. But still, Given the circumstances, I believe it is a right decision made by the school authorities. What do you think, Guys?' Asked Vicky looking at his troop.

'Absolutely. Its not only just the Empire Street residents but other parents are also scared and skeptical that the murderer might attack their kids if they let them attend school. Even if they were to escort their kids to the school, they can't be with them all the time and hence they don't want to take undue risk. Considering this factor, all the schools in the town have collectively taken this decision to stay shut for a while. They seem to have adopted this policy of wait and watch hoping that Police will catch the culprit at the earliest possible time frame. In fact I read in today's Newspaper that Police Commissioner office is under tremendous pressure from the politicians at helm and has been given an ultimatum of a weeks time.'  Said Joseph.

'Yeah, Lot of pressure from all corners of the society. Its a tough job to be a Police Inspector.' Said Nattu. 

'Inspector Avinash is the right man for the job. He has made a good name for himself by proactively eliminating crime from the city. In the past, he has reached out to us several times to help assist in finding the criminal. He has lot of faith in our capabilities and we haven't disappointed him a bit. This time is no different. He wants us to be actively involved in this assignment, which we already are.'  Vicky continued.

'We are up against a killer who is not only astute but nimble and agile as well, another stiff challenge lies ahead for sure.' Said Nikita.

'How come?'  Asked Jayati curiously.

'Majority of well known high schools are located very near to Empire Street. Being at a very short distance, School buses and the School vans don't run on this route. The High School Students usually commute to school all by themselves. Murderer has done his homework right. He was well aware of the fact that the cross streets are very less crowded in early morning hours. In all three cases so far, there is no eye witness. He seems to be a seasoned professional killer, with adequate planning he has accomplished the task in just few minutes and fled away.' Answered Nikita.

'Hmm' Nodded Jayati, agreeing to Nikita's theory.

'What's up next? Should we discuss what needs to be done hereon?' Nattu was getting impatient.

'Sure. Let's list down the tasks first and then distribute it among ourselves as we always do. We need to keep a close watch on Empire Street starting tomorrow morning. What else?' Said Vicky thinking loud.

'Based on the details shared with us by Inspector Avinash, let's find out Abdul Gaffar. We need to keep a close eye on him, what all he does, who all he meets, etc.' Nattu pointed out.

'Bear in mind that it could be a different "Mr. A.G." than we think. The murderer could be a first timer or on the contrary someone who never got traced and hence is not on Police criminal records. For getting any hints on this, we need to share our findings and work with our trusted sources, The Informers.' Jayati chipped in.

'Yes, and one other thing that comes to mind is that very few people wear such kind of Tawiz. Usually people get it from Peer Fakir. I guess we also need to find out the sources from where one can get such Tawiz so that we can trace back and arrive at any conclusion about Mr. A. G.' Said Surabhi.

'Very valid point. So we have lot to do. Let me now distribute these tasks.' Said Vicky.

'Joseph and Nikita to monitor Empire Street area, especially the Main Street.
Myself and Nattu to keep an eye on Abdul Gaffar and gather all kind of information about him.
Jayati to work with Informers and find out if a different Mr. A.G exists.
Surabhi and Pranshu to look out for Peer Fakirs and inquire them about such Tawiz.' Vicky allocated the tasks.

'Sounds like a Plan' Said Nattu.

'By the way, Did you guys hear about the Drawing competition that is to be held later this week?' Asked Pranshu wanting to change the topic.

'Not really, What is it all about?' Asked Nikita in a surprised tone.

'There are big advertisements in almost all Newspapers today. Someone called Mr. Diwan has arranged for a drawing competition. School students in the age group 10 to 14 can enroll. The prize money to be awarded to first three winners are enormous. To give you an idea, the first winner will get whopping 5 Lac Rupees, 2nd winner to get 3 Lac Rupees and 3rd to get 1 Lac Rupees.' Replied Pranshu.

Wow, That's lot of money. They all got excited.

After saying goodbye to his friends, Joseph rushed towards City Market. He was in hurry. He had promised his Grandpa that he would visit City Market in the afternoon and collect the Audio Ghazal CDs of Jagjit Singh and Mehdi Hassan from Super Shoppee. Grandpa had already paid for the CDs, he just had to collect those.

Joseph's Grandpa is a retired Army officer. He is an ardent fan of Mehdi Hassan and Jagjit Singh and have almost all popular Ghazals composed by them in his collection.

'Grandpa must be waiting for these CDs. I am already late.' Thought Joseph.

He soon reached the Super Shoppee Mall situated in the City Market area and headed straight to the Music Section. He knew the staff in the music section quite well as he had come here so many times with his Grandpa. His Grandpa had ordered the Audio CDs couple of weeks back but couldn't manage to come and collect the CDs due to illness.

After collecting the CDs, Joseph spent some time looking around in the mall. Just when he was about to leave, he spotted Sara. She was busy looking into something in the gadget section.

Sara and Joseph were in the same class. They were friends, although not very close.

He walked near her and asked 'Hi Sara, What brings you here?'

'Hey, Hi Joseph!!' She exclaimed in surprise. 

'I came here with my Dad to look for the latest version of Nindento 3DS. I had been waiting for this, I am glad that I got it here today.' 

'Dad is completing the payment formalities at the billing counter.' Said Sara in an overjoyed tone, pointing to her Dad. She was so happy. She just couldn't hide her emotions.

'Cool. This one looks really great' Said Joseph in admiration of the gadget.

'How about you?' Asked Sara.

'Well, I came here to collect these Audio Ghazal CDs for my Grandpa.' Answered Joseph

Meanwhile Sara's Dad Mr. Ramesh Sharma came back and joined them. He was a Class-I Officer in Public Works Department. He and his family had recently moved into a bungalow in Empire Street.

Sara introduced him with Joseph. Mr. Sharma took them outside for a cup of Coffee.

They discussed on lot of topics including the recent killings in and around Empire Street. Mr. Sharma vehemently condemned the assault on innocent girls and hoped for a speedy inspection from Police and justice to the girls families.

Joseph thanked Mr. Sharma and Sara for the coffee and pleasure of their company and left for his home.

Champ7 reached Police Station sharp at 5 PM. They briefed Inspector Avinash about their thoughts on this case.

As promised, Inspector Avinash showed them the criminal records of two persons whose name have initials A. G.

'Here you go. Good thing is we only have two such criminals in our records. The first one is Abdul Gaffar. He is a Black Smith by profession but he earns his bread and butter mainly by looting and pillaging. He is already been jailed three times but unfortunately there is no improvement in his behavior and conduct.' Said Inspector Avinash.

'Then there is Anil Goyal. He committed suicide by hanging himself shortly after killing his wife. This happened a couple of months back so definitely he is not the one we are looking for. There could be someone else also who is not on Police records yet, you never know. But, I would start with Abdul Gaffar.' Continued Inspector Avinash.

'So far, The murderer has attacked the girls when they were on their way to School. Given the awareness in Empire Street residents thanks to the media coverage and also the fact that the Schools are closed for few days, the attacker may not plan his next move immediately and might just wait for few days for matter to subside.' Said Nikita.

'But he may not wait for too long. We definitely need to keep a close tab on Empire Street area. In addition, let's use this time to gather all kind of information about Abdul Gaffar from our sources.' Cautioned Jayati.

'Yes, You are right.' Nodded Nattu.

'Thank You Sir for the information.' Said Vicky looking at Inspector Avinash. 'We will keep you posted with our findings. Will meet you soon.'

As usual Champ7 headed for Civil Lines Park to discuss further course of action.

In continuation to my Previous Post ...

Other than the Joggers, Milkmen and Newspaper sellers, generally you won't find many people out on the street this early on a Sunday morning. But today was different. Empire Street was in limelight again for not so good reasons.

Champ7 soon reached Empire Street. From a distance they could see a cross section lane which was covered by Police. They parked their Bicycles across the street surface and walked towards the crime spot. A school girl was lying dead on the ground. They could see the  food and the Lunchbox scattered on the ground. Everything appeared exactly similar to what they had seen in previous two murders.

'Hey Guys, I was about to call you up. How did you come to know about this?' Asked Inspector Avinash in a puzzled look.

'We thought we could catch the murderer and so came here looking for him. But he seems to be too smart and ahead in the game' Pranshu Replied with a dejected shrug.

'Hmm, I See. A milkman called up police station and informed us of seeing a girl lying dead here. We came here straightaway. Girl's name is Priya. I had called up her parents and they too reached here few minutes back. Priya had to attend some extra classes in the school today. Someone attacked her, stabbed from behind and killed her.' Said Inspector Avinash  

'This is now a third murder in just three days. We so far have no clue whatsoever about the person behind this, nor we have any idea about the motive behind these murders. Hard to imagine why someone would kill schoolgirls one after other. The guy must be of insane mentality and is on a killing spree I suspect' Continued Inspector Avinash expressing his anguish.

'Howsoever smart, I am confident we will be able to nail him down. Let's inspect the crime spot carefully. We might find some clue.' Said Vicky looking at other members of Champ7 pack.

Champ7 inspected the crime site for next half an hour but they didn't find anything suspicious in there. Soon the News broadcasters, reporters and local politicians arrived at the crime site. Inspector Avinash had a real hard time answering their questions.

Champ7 returned back to Civil Lines Park. They were bemused and bewildered and understandably so. The murderer has killed one more girl and they just couldn't do anything to stop him.

'Guys, Though we have figured out that the murderer is looking for something valuable and hence attacking girls from Empire Street, we need to act fast and catch him before he commits one more murder. Most probably he is not successful in his hunt yet and would definitely attack another girl soon.' Said Vicky. 

'Friends, did you all notice one thing though? These three murders have been committed in three different cross streets of Empire Street but if we walk back you will find that they all merge into Main Street. Most of the Empire Street residents reside on either sides of Main Street. The students living in Empire Street have to commute via these cross streets to reach their school. These cross streets are less crowded in the morning hours. I have a strong intuitive feeling that the murderer must have followed these three girls from Main Street all the way until the girls reached one of these cross Streets. So instead of policing the entire Empire Street area, we only need to focus on Main Street I believe' Nattu jumped in.

'Very good observation, I must say' Joseph was all praise for Nattu.

'Other than his initials, we have no idea about his where about. The only way out as I see is to hope that he will come out one more time to attack another girl soon, may be tomorrow. We need to keep a constant surveillance in the Main Street of the Empire Street area. However, It will not be possible as we also have to attend our classes in the school from tomorrow.' Said Jayati.

'Let's first find out from Inspector Avinash if he has are any records of the criminals in the Police Station with initials "A.G.". He promised us to share this information by evening today.' Reminded Pranshu.

 'Yeah. Let's meet up in the Police Station at 5 pm today evening.' Said Vicky.

The City was rocked by the brutal stabbing murders of girls from three high profile families. The reporters from screen and print media had sensationalized their respective coverage on these killings. The youth and old in the town organised the candlelight march demanding justice and in support of the victim girls.

Residents of Empire Street were stunned and astounded. They were scared of sending their kids to school as they feared of another murder. The School authorities from different school assembled and took a collective decision to close the schools until a later date till the criminal is sent behind the bar.

Police authorities were under extreme pressure both from politicians as well as citizens of the town to find and arrest the criminal in next 24 hours. As an immediate precautionary measure, Inspector Avinash sent his troops to guard the Empire Street area. But, was that enough to stop another murder?

Find answers to all of these in this Champ7 led crime fiction thriller with interesting twist and turns, Read On...

In continuation to my Previous Post ...

Next morning by 8 am all members of Champ7 group assembled at the Civil Lines Park.

As usual, Vicky headed the conversation.

'Friends, We don't know for sure why the Murderer is targeting school girls and that too from Southern part of our town. In both cases so far, he didn't ate their food which led me to believe that he is on lookout for something precious.'

'But, why would someone keep valuables in Lunchboxes?. And even if someone has, why is he killing them'  Intervened Nikki.

'Hard to tell, really. Probably he didn't want the girls to discuss the matter at home or even with someone else. This would have spread the news of him repeatedly looking into girls Lunchboxes and probably would have revealed his identity and that would have hampered his further plans' Continued Vicky.

'What sort of plan?' Asked Nattu.

'I get what Vicky is pointing at. Looking back, "Mr. A.G " killed Rima and then the very next day he attacked and killed Gauri. It means, he probably didn't get what he was looking for from Rima's Lunchbox. Hence, he continued on with his mission and targeted Gauri the very next day. Had he left Rima and Gauri without killing them, both being from such a high profile family they would have definitely informed Police. Police have good resources who can draw the criminal's sketch based on the details produced. The attacker didn't wanted this to happen and this is why he killed them' It was Joseph this time.

'Does that mean other girls staying in Empire Street are in danger?' Asked Pranshu.

'If  "Mr. A.G" has already found what he was looking for from Gauri's Lunchbox, he most probably will not attack any further as it means his mission is accomplished. On the contrary, If he hasn't yet, I guess he will continue with his search' Answered Joseph.

'But why only girls and that too from Empire Street?' Questioned Surabhi.

This was a damn good question that got everybody thinking. Why would someone target only girls and that too from a particular area of the town.

In situations such as this when there is no immediate answer Vicky would find a corner place and get into a world of his own. He would take out his mouth organ and play some of his favorite tunes. Other members of Champ7 group knew Vicky's style and were also aware that end of it Vicky would come up with a definitive answer.

Today was no exception. All eyes were on Vicky. There was few minute's silence before Vicky jumped in.

'I think "Mr. A.G" has no idea about the name of the girl that has his valuables. However, he seem to be knowing that it is a school girl of the age group 12 and near about and that too a resident of Empire Street, a Southern part of the town. The way in which the Lunchboxes were all opened up and scattered with food spilled allover on the ground I think he must have had concrete information about some clue on the inner part of those boxes. He probably knows that the valuable is no longer in the Lunchbox as by now it must have been retrieved by girl's family. By inspecting the inner portion of Lunch boxes he is making sure if it is THAT lunchbox which had his valuables.' 

'Hmm, Most probably the murderer has not seen the girl the time when these valuables were kept in the Lunchbox. In other words, the valuables were kept inside the Lunchbox when the girl was not around. He apparently remembers seeing some sort of identification mark on the Lunchbox or inside the boxes and is now trying to hunt down the girl and subsequently his valuables based on those clues'  Jayati added her two cents.

'And since he is not sure about whom to target, he is randomly attacking one girl at a time. This in fact is a very serious matter as we don't know who the next victim going to be'  Cautioned Nikki, continued from where Jayati left.

'Guys, I think we should head immediately to Empire Street. Who knows, the killer is out there today as well and may target one more schoolgirl. Both these murders so far took place in the morning hours, the time when students leave for school. Even on a Sunday, students sometimes have to go to school to attend some short duration extra classes. We might get lucky and may encounter the killer.' Yelled Nattu reacting to graveness of the situation.

'Yes, Nattu is right. Let's take out our bicycles and hit the road to Empire Street'  Said Joseph.

In continuation to my Previous Post ...

It took quite some time for Champ7 to find the chain. Nikita found it in a pothole on the street surface. It was a very thin stainless steel chain necklace.

Champ7 walked back to the crime spot. Inspector Avinash instructed his subordinate to send Gauri's body for an autopsy.

'Are you guys done with your investigation?' Asked Inspector Avinash looking at Champ7.

'Sir, We have got something interesting for you. We have found this Talisman Tawiz and the necklace near the crime spot.' Replied Vicky before handing over the Tawiz and chain to Inspector.

'While these two things may not necessarily have fallen at the crime spot today but we can not rule out the possibility as well. If things are as straight as we think, our theory is that these things are of the murderer's only. Gauri would have shown some resistance when the murderer obstructed her. In the heat of the moment, She probably had some sort of fight with him in self-defense and as a result his chain loosened out a bit. Gauri tried to run away from the attacker but just couldn't escape as the attacker stabbed her with a knife from behind. The attacker fled away from the scene hastily. The Tawiz may have fallen on the ground and then the chain '  Continued Vicky, trying to put puzzle pieces together.

'Hmm' whispered Inspector.

'What we have also noticed is the Tawiz has letters "A.G" marked inside it, these could probably be the initials of the murderer.' Joseph joined the conversation.

'Well, good progress I must say Champ7. I too think these are vital clues and hopefully will lead us towards tracing down the murderer. I hope you don't mind if I take these clues into my custody.' Asked Inspector.

'Sure, by all means'  Answered Joseph.

'Thank You Guys. Keep up the good work. Let's now get back to the police station. You are joining me in the Police Jeep, correct?'  Inspector Avinash Applauded Champ7.

'Off course, we are. Could you please drop us at Civil Lines?' Asked Vicky.

'Sure. Let's start'

On their way down in the Police Jeep, Champ7 requested Inspector Avinash to go through the criminal records in police station and look for all the criminals with initials "A.G" and to also trace their current whereabouts.

'There is lot of similarity in both the murders. In both cases the girls were attacked and killed. The attacker was definitely searching for something. Not sure why was he looking into their Lunchboxes. Other than food what else would someone have in it?'  Inspector Avinash.

'Yes, it will be foolish not to link these two murders together. At this moment it is not clear if it's an act of an insane serial killer who is simply after schoolgirls and killing them one after another'  Said Jayati.

'Well, one other interesting thing is that both these girls are from "Empire Street" which is southern part of the city. The people living in the south suburb are very well to do. Mostly, you will find residence of businessmen or Class-I officers here' A very good observation shared by Inspector Avinash.

'Hmm, yep You are right. Rima as we know is from a very rich family. And, One of the media reporter told me today that Gauri's dad also represent a local political party.' Said Nattu.

Champ7 got down at Civil lines.

'I will have the data ready you requested for by tomorrow evening. Come meet me then. Good bye for now.' Said Inspector Avinash and headed straight to the Police Station.

Civil Lines was the city downtown. It was the busiest area of the city as the well known Hospitals, Schools, Railway Station etc. were at a very close proximity. All members of group Champ7 used to live at a walking distance from Civil Lines.

'Friends, Let's meet up at the Civil Lines Park tomorrow morning to discuss the next course of action. Nattu, hope you will manage to get up early tomorrow being a Sunday. I want everyone reach here sharp by at 8 am.' Ordered Vicky.

They all nodded. Still a long way in the hunt but they were all confident of cracking this Mystery, something they were accustomed to. After all this is why they were known as CHAMPS.

Find answers to all of these in this Champ7 led crime fiction thriller with interesting twist and turns, Read On...

In continuation to my Previous Post ...

Inspector Avinash and Champ7 reached at the crime site.

The victim, a girl in her school uniform, was lying dead on the ground. It was apparent that the girl must have been on her way to school in the morning when the incident took place. Like in Rima's case, here too someone sneaked behind her back and stabbed the girl three times.

The bicycle was lying on the ground. Her lunchbox was scattered on the ground all over the place. It was a brutal murder. Police inspected the body, they found girl's identity card. As per the information displayed on the I-Card, the girl's name was Gauri. She was 12 and studying in one of the best known public school in the town.

Police called up the phone number mentioned on Gauri's I-Card. It turned out to be her dad's number. Soon, Gauri's parents reached the crime site. They were inconsolable and just couldn't believe why would someone kill their daughter.

By now, the murder news had spread like wildfire. Soon, the place was thronged by media reporters and some local politicians. The moment they saw Inspector Avinash, they all rushed towards him and started questioning him. They all wanted Inspector to expedite the investigation and find the criminal as this was 2nd murder in just two days and demanded justice for the victim. Inspector Avinash managed to calm them down and promised of a speedy investigation. The mood was somber. The people got scared and feared of a serial killer who is on a secret mission of killing innocent school girls. Everybody wanted to see the guilty behind the bars as early as possible.

While, Inspection Avinash was busy controlling the anger of public, Champ7 turned their focus on inspecting the crime scene a bit finer. Joseph and Nattu thoroughly searched the bushes on both sides of the road to see if they can find something suspicious. Vicky examined Gauri's schoolbag. It was just a normal schoolbag and nothing more than that. Jayati and Nikita had a re-look at lunchbox and bicycle respectively. Surabhi and Pranshu however walked couple of meters far from the spot were Gauri was lying in hopes of finding some clue.

TALISMAN TAWIZ

'Hey, what is it lying there shining big time?'  Yelled Surabhi from a distance pointing to something besides the rocks adjacent to the street. They walked closer to the object and suddenly their eyes lit up. On a closer look, It was a brown color Talisman Tawiz with silver shades.


'I guess, it must have been that of the murderer's' said Pranshu, who thought for a while and then jumped to a conclusion.

'Well, Most probably and Hopefully.' Replied Surabhi before opening the Talisman Tawiz.  To their surprise, letters "A.G" were embedded from inside.

'Now then, high possibility that these must be the initials of the murderer in my opinion. Some people wear such "Talisman Tawiz" on their neck.' Exclaimed Surabhi.

'Gauri might have had a small fight or so with the murderer before she was stabbed. By chance, she could have snatched murderer's chain to which this "Tawiz" was tied into.' Added Pranshu.

'Well, if we are thinking right then we should have chain also lying somewhere here.' Remarked Surabhi.

Surabhi and Pranshu returned back to their friends and told them everything about what they find in their investigation.

'Great!! Let's go find the chain, It should be somewhere near to the place where you found this Talisman Tawiz.'

One could sense sheer optimism in Nattu's voice.

A Murder Mystery

Will Champ7 be able to crack this?

It was a hot summer afternoon with sun shining bright like never before.

'Thank God it is Friday today. Tomorrow is school off day and we have to resume back only on Monday.' said Nikita. 

'Couldn't agree with you more, Nikki', said Jayati. It is so hot out there, one would just want to be at home relaxing in AC.

'Hey, by the way what's the plan for the weekend? Are we all meeting at Civil Lines Park?' added Nikita.

'Yep, think so. Heard Vicky telling Surabhi today.' said Jayati. 

'Do we have a mystery in our hand this time around? It seems long time know' Exclaimed Nikita.

Nikita was right. It was indeed a long time since they last worked on a mystery. Generally these guys would meet at Civil Lines Park to discuss the latest happenings and work in hand. Champ7 were not only good at sports and studies but they were also known for adventure. They have solved so many mysteries together working as a team. Principal and the teachers in the school were aware about this and were very proud of them. The parents too knew about it. Though they were concerned and bit worried as most of the times Champ7 were engaged in some sort of adventure and had to roam around city and even sometimes travel far from city. Champ7 behaved just like normal kids with everyone and never made fuss about their past achievements, accolades and awards. 

Champ7 is a group of 7 comprising kids of different age group, albeit from same school. How so ever busy, they would always find time away from studies and daily routine to engage into adventurous missions and assignments. Sometimes they would get the information about a particular crime from Sub inspector Avinash who was a very good friend of Joseph's late dad and sometimes they would gather information from newspapers, city events, people around and local affairs.

Suddenly class teacher intervened and asked all students to assemble in the lobby. Not knowing what the matter is and with surprised looks Nikki and Jayati too rushed towards the lobby along with other kids. Soon all students gathered in the lobby. Champ7 could manage to find a corner place to stand and were awaiting for principal and other school staff to come. 

'Here comes our Principal mam' uttered Nattu. 

'Dear Students, It is with a heavy heart that I must share with you the sad news of passing of Rima of class VI Red house'

There was pin drop silence the moment principal mam stated this. All students by now have sensed a matter of grave seriousness.

Now all eyes were on Principal mam who started addressing. 

'Rima was found dead lying on ground at a place midway between her home and school. The place is very seclude with very negligible traffic. We at this point in time do not have full details on the cause of death. We are told by city police authority that Rima has serious wounds on her back. It seems someone stabbed her by a knife three times. The injury was so serious that Rima died in couple of minutes. Police also told us that they have found her bicycle couple of feets away from the murder scene. Police is investigating the whereabouts of the attacker and the motive behind such brutal murder. Lets observe silence for 2 minutes in her memory and pray to Almighty God to give enough strength to her family members to overcome this tough time. Lets also pray and demand justice to be made and a severe punishment to the guilty.'

Crime Scene

Hearing this all students were shocked. Rima was a lovely girl. She had won many prizes in past in school annual functions. Something of this sort would happen to Rima was beyond anybody's wildest imagination.

     

'I urge you all not to get scared with what has happened but at the same time I want you all to exercise extreme precautions while you commute to and fro from school. We will have an early school departure today. You all can go back to your respective classrooms now.'

While leaving the school premises, Vicky asked other members of Champ7 to meet at Civil Lines Park at 7 pm to further discuss about Rima's murder. Just when they were about to leave, Sub Inspector Avinash approached them and asked them to look into this murder mystery.

'Guys, while police is investigating this crime, i want Champ7 also to get into this. I want you to inform me about any updates that you get on this mystery. Similarly, I will also keep you posted on what we find out' said sub Inspector Avinash and left in a hurry.

Well, Champ7 now have an assignment in hand. There is lot to do.

In continuation to my Previous Post ...

Vicky was first to reach Civil Lines park. In fact he had reached there 5 minutes in advance. Soon other members of Champ7 joined him one by one.

Vicky started to address the meet.

'Friends, its quite unfortunate that one of our school friend met with such a tragedy. We now need to put our thinking cap and work fast on this case. Let's recollect the data facts we have on this case thus far.'

A murderer is out in the city

'Well friends, what we have learnt so far is that Rima was on her way to school on her bicycle. Someone attacked and stabbed her from behind on her back three times. Police found her body lying on the ground. Someone possibly informed them about this incidence.' Nattu provided the recap.

'There is one another interesting thing that I have observed when I saw footage of murder site on television in the evening before coming here.' Said Pranshu.

She further added, 'Other than Rima's bicycle, I also saw her lunchbox near her body. What surprised me most was that all the four boxes of her lunchbox were open, spread on the ground. She was not robbed. Also the so called attacker didn't take away her bicycle. It appeared as if someone was more interested in inspecting her lunchbox.'

'Interesting' nodded Nikita.

'So, what is next course of action? Shall we visit the crime site tomorrow morning?' Asked Surabhi curiously.

'Don't think so. Police have already moved Rima's body along with her bicycle, schoolbag, lunchbox etc. There is nothing for us really to inspect on the crime site.' Replied Joseph.

'Friends, let's meet Avinash uncle tomorrow. I think we need to have a set of photographs of crime scene. It may be handful and could further help us in our investigation' said Nikita.

'Yes, sure. Let's meet in the police station tomorrow morning at 10 am. Meantime, let's also think individually about how to trace this attacker.' Vicky replied.

It was a short meeting as they didn't really had much to discuss.

Surabhi and Jayati reached home. Amit was anxiously waiting outside for his twin sisters. He was very hungry. The moment he saw his sisters parking their bicycles in the parking lot he felt happier.

'Di, what is this? Where had you both gone to? Did you go for some shopping? Why didn't you take me along?'

'Amit, we have got one new assignment. Sorry, we are bit late. Let's go upstairs and have dinner. Momma must be waiting for us.' Realising Amit's anxity, replied Jayati.

'Di, do you mean to say a new Mystery? Oh, no. Not again. You both become so busy when you have some assignment in hand along with your Champ7 friends. Already there is enough school homework, on top of this you are also working on a Mystery. How in the world you manage this? I can't even manage half an hour homework. It is so boring' Pointed out Amit.

'By the way, what is this new Mystery all about?' Asked Amit.

'We will tell you everything tomorrow after dinner. Hopefully we shall have more data points to ponder by tomorrow evening.' Said Surabhi.

They didn't talk much during dinner. Girls completed their studies right after dinner and straightway rushed to bed. They were just thinking about the events in the day and what lies ahead tomorrow.

Champ7 meets
Inspector Avinash

It was 10 am in the morning.

Sub inspector Avinash handed over the crime scene photographs to Champ7. Just when Champ7 were about to leave, the office phone bell rang. Champ7 waited for a while.

Avinash uncle picked up the phone. Avinash uncle's face turned red. He noted down some address on a piece of paper. For few seconds, he didn't utter a word but signaled Champ7 to wait before hanging up the phone.

One more girl
murdered

'What happened, Uncle?' Asked Vicky.

'One more murder. Another girl attacked and stabbed. Guys, let's go to the crime site.' yelled Avinash Uncle.

Heartbroken and upset, Champ7 nearly fainted after hearing one more bad news. Two murders in two days.
