"I want to tell you about something," Michael said to Joseph.

As soon as Joseph heard her voice, he turned to him, "What do you want to say?" He said with curiosity.

Then Michael took a deep breath and said, "Joseph, last night as I was walking home, I saw someone standing in the middle of the road. He was wearing a black hoodie and a mask. It happened. So, I decided to chase him. I was about to catch him but before that, he ran away. Then suddenly someone hit me on the back of the head. I fell on the ground due to severe pain in my head. But still, I can hear some strange sounds behind my back,"

"Do you remember what they were talking about?" Joseph said and looked at him with curious eyes.

"Unfortunately, no! I was in so much pain that I couldn't hear their conversation properly," he says angrily. Michael's eyes can tell he regrets it.

Joseph knows that he has indirectly hurt him. So, he raises his hand towards Michael's shoulder and says softly, "Don't stress too much right now. You need proper rest."

"No, I want to know more about this matter. I can't just leave all this behind." Michael says and his whole voice echoes in the room.

"Okay, okay, you can investigate this matter sitting at home, I will send you all the documents," Joseph says.

"Thank you for your help." He said and lay down on the bed to try to sleep but he knew he would not be able to sleep properly until the matter was resolved.

After A Few Days............

Michael was walking down the stairs to reach the hall. When he reached the hall, he called out his wife's name and said, "Stella! I have to go. It's urgent!"

As soon as his wife heard, she got up on the dining table and moved towards him. She looked at him with worried eyes and asked, "Where are you going, dear? You know you are not feeling well right now."

"Yes, I know but I have to go to the office for some important work. I will be fine so don't worry too much." He told her and gently patted her head.

His wife still didn't agree to let him go, but he nodded and said, "Okay dear, but please come back quickly because it is already too late to go office"

"Okay, I will come back in a couple of hours,"

Then he leans towards his wife and kisses her forehead. After this, he went out through the main door.

A few minutes later, he reached his office building. When he came to his cabin, he opened the door of his cabin and went into the cabin. When he came to his cabin he saw that the files of all the victims killed by the serial killer were on his desk.

He moves his hand towards the file to take it. When he took the file in his hand, he started turning the pages of the file. While he was looking at the file, suddenly a thought came to his mind.

"The serial killer was not killing people randomly. He gave us a clue behind all these murders,"

The sound of the door creaking brings him out of his thoughts. When his eyes fall on the door, he sees Joseph in the room with a file in his hand.

"Michael, sorry to bother you, but I forgot to give you the file you asked me to give you," Joseph says and puts the file on the desk.

Michael raises his eyebrows and says, "I don't understand. You already put the file on my desk. Then why are you saying you forgot to give me the file?"

"What! But I didn't put any files on your desk.

Robert may have placed this file here because he also had files on all the victims killed by the serial killer. Joseph says.

Robert is the officer who was not working on the case but has all the files on the murders.

"That could be true. Did he have another similar file on this case?" Joseph said and then he pulled a chair in front of Michael and sat on it.

"Sometimes, he kept similar files of cases?" Michael says.

Then a minute later, Michael looks at Joseph. Like he learns something different. Then Michael speaks, "From this file, I found the link behind all these murders. According to it, all the murders happened at the same time. And we ignored the fact that the victims were close to each other." Take the example of Mrs. Holloway, she died of a heart attack and was found dead in her home, and the next week her maid also died of a heart attack at the same time, the point is that serial killers kill in alphabetical order.

But Michael how can you be sure that people were killed in alphabetical order? This could be a coincidence. Joseph says and raises his eyebrows.

Suddenly the phone on the table starts ringing when Michael extends his hand to pick up the phone and when he picks up the phone he hears a very strange voice "I hope you have already found the file I gave you. Maybe you have read the file.

"Who are you? And where are you speaking from?" Michael yelled.

"I know who the serial killer is and how he can kill people without weapons. If you want to know then come to the park near my office at 8:30 pm." the man replied to him. Before Michael asks more, the person on the phone disconnects the call.

"Who was it?" Joseph asked him in astonishment.

"Someone was saying that he has kept this file here and he also claimed that he knows about the killer and how he can kill people without weapons. He asked me to come to the park at 8:30 p.m. He is near our office. He will tell me everything there. Michael says and lifts his hand to look at the current time on his watch. His watch shows 8:17 p.m.

"I have to go now, Joseph, you try to find out where this call came from, I will be back in a while." Michael quickly moves towards the cabin door. Just as he was about to open the door, Joseph's voice was heard from behind.

"I should go with you,"

"No, don't worry about me, nothing is going to happen," Michael says and then he walks out of his cabin.

As he was leaving his office building, numerous thoughts were revolving around in his mind.

"What if it's a trap? Or maybe he knows who the killer is."
I don't know what's going to happen next." He thought with curiosity.

Within a few minutes, he arrived at his car. Opened his car door, crawled inside the car and closed the door behind him.

As Michael drove down the road, his eyes caught a glimpse of a girl lingering outside a grand hotel. The girl stood still, her features concealed as she faced away from him.

Suddenly that girl collapsed in front of him. He immediately jumped out of his car and rushed to her side. As he looked at her face, he realized that he knew her – it was Anna.

One Hour Later............

"Thank you very much for dropping Anna home. I think maybe her blood sugar has gone low but this is very unusual because Anna has never fainted due to low blood sugar. Anna's mother told him.

"Maybe she was tired. Don't worry too much, she'll be fine. Madeline, I have to go now," Michael said.

Suddenly his phone starts ringing, he takes the phone from his pocket and sees that Joseph is calling. She picked up Joseph's phone and said, "What's wrong Joseph? Has something gone wrong?"

"A man has been brutally murdered at the Hotel Palace. You got here quickly!" Joseph hastily said.

"Joseph! This is the same hotel near our office." Michael asks.

"Yes, it was the same hotel which is near our office but you asked why?" Joseph said in surprise.

"I'll tell you later. I'm coming over." He put his phone back in his pocket. Then he turned to Madeline and said, "If you have any problems, feel free to call me, I have to go right now because I have important work to do,"

"Okay, you go and thanks again for your help," Madeline said.

Then they said goodbye to each other. He walked towards his car and drove his car towards the hotel. When he gets there, Joseph is already outside the hotel. When Joseph saw him, he went up to him and said, "Michael that man was found dead. He stabbed him to death and he was also killed by the same serial killer."

Michael raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you say that? We know the serial killer isn't using any weapons to kill people."

"I can say this because I have found something very important regarding this matter," Joseph told Micheal.
