Agent Ron was baffled
by the case.
How I wish the puppets could speak, thought Ron.
A famous ventriloquist was found dead amongst his puppets!
No signs of
force. Insider job? The artist was a loner, though!
Notice Board in
the study appeared deadly alive. Four things caught Ron’s attention; mind map
of dialogues, snaps of stage, excel sheet and heavily crossed out photos.
Delving deeper,
the secret spoke up!
Ms Linda was
caught. She confessed to the crime when shown the excel sheet.
The artist and Ms
Linda had parted ways a long while ago. After other failed relationships,
she was penniless. She had details of artist’s account. Being busy, artist realized
it quite later. Fuming, he called her up. She agreed to settle everything over
dinner. Upon finishing dinner, he took her to studies. Before he could turn, whoosh
went silencer gun.
The ventriloquist
bade an aphonic adieu.
