The next day morning, Nikhil and I went to Harsha’s office after making sure that he is not at his office.

We asked Younis to give us the phone numbers and names of all their customers. He denied it though. But money would play its role at all the junctures of life. He agreed upon a bribe.

Our strategy was to contact those people, telling that we were planning to buy one of the sites from Shinde's venture and were contacting them to find out what their experience had been.

Nikhil helped me in contacting those people. It was a little discomfort for him, I could feel, while talking the same matter on every call. But he was the only one whom I could rely upon during my own discomforting moments.

“People say it was a fair deal with them. But some did say that the Shinde family is involved in acquiring some of the lands forcibly. It could be their imagination or true,” Nikhil said after he finished calling the Shinde's customers.

We also contacted a librarian, a friend of Nikhil. The task was to search all the newspapers to find out any big venture acquisition that Shinde's family did from the last several years.

The librarian asked for a day’s time to get back with us. We thanked him for his punctuality. We came to know about some news the next day. I also had googled about it.

It was around five years back that the family had a dealing with another land vendor to acquire a very big land area across twenty acres, and an advertisement was found in the newspaper.

As per the address given in that advertisement, it looked like the Shinde’s villa also was a part of that land area.

I immediately called up Mrs. Shinde to confirm this. As per our conversation, Shinde's family bought this venture from the Kapoors around five years ago and they have decided to build their villa in some part of it. The remaining was on sale, as their usual business.

During the discussion, another thing I came to know was that Mr. Shinde was very particular about the property ownership. All the properties they had were in his own name. And now they were in Harsha's name.

Things were becoming clear to me. The classic motive that the world had been witnessing for ages: wealth. This was a straightforward and very believable motive. Mr. Shinde had most of his, or perhaps all his properties, in his own name.

For getting rid of such a situation and for maintaining his business glory, Harsha might have killed his father too.

“What? Mr. Shinde was also killed? What evidence do you have, apart from an unproved motive?” shouted Nikhil.

“Motives generally would be generic. It is the conspiracy and the act that we have to prove. Doubting Mr. Shinde's death as a murder is not a conclusion that I am drawing. It is a link that I am trying to find. A proper linking of the two deaths,” I continued.

“Assume a possible scenario. For acquiring various properties that the Shinde family have, Harsha might have looked for a way out.
