Timmy knew that something important has come in Vicki's inbox. Still he couldn't figure out the those thoughtfulness of the pink eyes. He had seen them displaying anger, pity, indifference, brilliance but never this feeling.

"What did the report say?" Timmy asked her while overtaking a slow biker.

"It's something very unusual and deep. If this information is true, then I really don't know how'll we proceed in that case." Vicki sighed.

"So, a bigger name has come up?" Timmy followed up with another question.

"Yes, if that's true then I'm pretty sure that this corruption runs deep inside our department. She's getting help from a higher up." Vicki sighed again.

Timmy focused on the road, he knew that silent illegal raid on heather's house was the last resort, yet he couldn't still believe her as a cold emotionless killer.

They arrived near the apartment and went inside. The crime scene was preserved for the duo. Vicki asked the Officer on duty about the details.

"Detective Valentine, this is a sealed room murder. When the maid came back after the shopping trip, she found out that her master has locked the room from inside. She called him to open up as tea time was nearby, but he won't reply. So she called for help and two neighbours came out in her help. The trio knocked down the door to find him lying dead in a pool of blood. We checked their testimonies and their story holds. According to the coroner the incident happened between 10-10.30 pm. The maid was buying veggies from a supermarket and she got caught in a cctv. The neighbours were all in their respective rooms watching a Soccer game. The only key of the room was found in his pocket." the Officer stopped to breath.

"Hmm...so were there any other copies of that key?" Vicki asked.

"Nope, Ma'm. There were none to found." the Officer replied back.

Timmy was busy looking at the corpse, suddenly some marks on the skin of waistline caught his eyes, infact some of those marks were directly over the stab wound, "What's this?"

"What?" Vicki looked at the marks, "Probably wore a tight belt or something." suddenly it hit her, "Did you find any waist belt or something like that?"

"Yes, he used to wear it for the recovery of his operation. When they found the body he wasn't wearing it, it was later found over the couch." the Officer replied.

Timmy looked over the majestic red wall, it looked beautiful in the glittering sunlight. yet Timmy saw markings on the wall, as if somebody has written something on it. Suddenly something glittered on the leaves of the sunflower plant, that was kept in a small vase in the far right corner.

"Water? In this AC room?" Timmy raised his eyebrows.

Vicki's eyes followed Timmy, and then she looked at the wall. A sly smile appeared in her face. She strode over to the wall.

Meanwhile the maid was summoned in for questioning by Timmy.

"So you're Ms. Monica Graham, the maid of Mr. Lannister?"

"Yes, sir."

"Can you tell me everything starting from the morning till you discovered the dead body?" Timmy asked her as Vicki closed in to hear their conversation.

"I came to Master's flat around 8.30. I did some cleaning and washed the cloths. Meanwhile Mr. Nickfrom the next flat came and played chess with him. Then I had to prepare for the lunch, so I went out to buy vegetables and meat around 9.45, Mr. Nick also left with me. Master was still alive. Then after I returned at 10.45 and made a cup of tea for Master and myself. When I didn't find him in the leaving room I knocked the bedroom door, but it was locked from inside and Master was lying in a pool of blood. Then Mr. Rico from the next door checked his vitals and said that he's no more." Monica almost cried.

"Were your master wearing that belt ?" Vicki asked.

"I didn't see. He used to wear it under his shirt, so I couldn't see it."

"Did your master have enemies?"

"I don't know much, but he was a good man."

"Did he have any friends?"

"Not exacty, but Mr. Nick often came to play chess with him."

As the detectives excused the young maid, the next person came in, "This is Martin Mally. One of the two neighbours who found out the body."

Vicki started questioning the bearded man, "Mr. Mally, what're you doing between 10-10.30 am?"

"I was enjoying the rerun of a soccer match." he replied.

"Hmm...did Mr. Lannister had any enemies?"

"No, I don't know. He was a retired Professor and the living example of a gentleman. To think that somebody would even kill him, still makes no sense to me."

"Ok, were you acquaintances?"

"Not exactly, I won't consider that I was one of his acquaintances."

"Was he popular with the other residents?"

"He was. Infact, Nick, the guy who along with me and the maid discovered him, was a very ardent fan of him. He used to play Chess with him, every evening."

"When you got the body of Mr. Lannister was he wearing any belt like thing, like the ones which people wear after an operation?"

"I didn't notice. Infact that's the first time I heard about something."

"Ok, fine." Vicki ended her interrogation with a yawn.

Timmy whispered, "Did you notice that?"

Vicki replied, "Probably Vanishing spray if you're mentioning about the wall, the water marks are visible from this angle. If you're suggesting about that little dew on Sunflower leaves, then that's probably due to cranking down the temperature."

"Amazing, but how could you know it was Vanishing spray?" Timmy was bewildered.

"Well for starters, Vanishing spray is mostly made of 80% water, 17% Butane and 1% surfactants to lower the surface tension. Now the Butane gets evaporated leaving the water and bubbles the surfactants holds onto the bubbles thus making them visible. Though they eventually collapse and the whole thing disappears." Vicki explained it.

"So you're saying that someone, painted with vanishing spray on the wall?" Timmy asked.

"It seems so, infact the evidence that temperature was also lowered to increase the longevity of the bubbles." Vicki replied.

"So it was a threat to him, as If I Try to trace the water marks, it becomes Die, Die." Timmy replied.

"Yup, but why such a method was needed? If the culprit wanted to kill Mr. Lannister they why did he want to alert him by threatening him?" Timmy was confused.

"Let's quiz Mr. Nick, shall we? Then we can solve this puzzle." Vicki replied.
