4 First day at crematorium.

 Then where did the diamond go? 

In the belly of the Golak.

What a defeat! 

"Diamonds are deadly. Seeing you coming, the piece of diamond swallowed the Golak. 

He died of poisoning immediately. But why the unfortunate swallowed? Could have hidden. Foolish Golak was obeying someone's orders out of greed for money.  He was told that if he was about to be caught, he would swallow it. Golak didn't know diamonds are deadly poison, so far. But I hope I can save the historical diamond of your dynasty.  Going back from there, I said the mystery of the riddle was solved in Kolkata. But I did not understand the demon."

Understand, understand. Saying this, the Colonel wanted to take me to the cremation ground.  For this the Colonel called a car. But no driver agreed to go to the crematorium floor. Only one said he would go to the turn of the road, it would cost 40 rupees. The Colonel agreed.

The road crossed the Rajbari area.  The driver said, "Take this road and go straight."

There are jungles and hills on both sides of the road. The colonel was walking around looking good. I was afraid the rare species of birds would disappear behind. When he left, he found me alone and the vampire would jump on me.  It won't be too late to eat my entrails. But the colonel did not disappear. After a while we reached the crematorium. Early banyan tree with baskets scattered around. Autumn river on its banks. Here and there are cheetah ashes and broken earthen jars. On one side a few stone houses have collapsed.  Near him is a stone temple.

The structure of some Buddhist stupas. There is a bit of a bump. It was as if the door was sitting on the ground, covered with bushes. I said, "Isn't the vampire inside that bush?" Colonel Niladri Sorkar went to there without answering me. Then he said that there must have been some monk burning incense here because fresh ashes were lying there.  It hasn't rained in the last 24 hours. So the ashes are still there. He has a small trident and a skull with him. Mr.Colonel picked up the skull with his hand and made a sound. Fake plastic skulls. So I'm sure Mr. Haldar lit the incense burner there in disguise. Where did he go? The colonel stared at the ground, rolled over for a moment, then stopped. He picked up something and said, a piece of braid, a braid made of jute.  Mr.Haldar's motive for tearing the braid is the same, who attacked him. Defeat! Then you may have fallen into the realm of demons. He has a gun. The Colonel proceeded to the stupa. He took out a torch from his bag and sat down in front of the hook. When he saw the torch burning inside, he said, "Jayant, go and see."

I ran and saw a private detective lying on a bat's mat under a rock. Hands and feet tied. There was tape on his face.  But opened. The swarm of bats is scattering in the light of the torch.

Mr. Colonel went inside and asked to bring Mr. Haldar. Colonel, saw Mr.Haldar's condition and asked me to take him to the bungalow. I'm going the other way.

Mr. Haldar suddenly jumped up and said, "Where is my gun? I was putting it under the seat."

The vampire could not let go of your gun. The gun will be of no use to the vampire again. The colonel left without saying another word.  Then I reached the bungalow with Mr. Haldar with great difficulty. After eating, Mr. Haldar was snoring and sleeping. Mr.Colonel arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Haldar woke and Colonel said, "I have recovered your gun."

Where did you get it?

In the demon's den.

Did you find the place?

Yes.

Animals, insects all have a nest or a nest. So the demon should have a tent too. Anyway, there is no talk about that now. Now all that is left is to look for diamonds.  I will go out with a little cumin after lunch.
