The Mystery of The Indigo Valley
Chapter-6
Disappeared
out of the blue
“Well, I have to admit that Windwood was some
sort of a god to us with Mr. Lock at a time but now he is nothing more than a
crooked and a selfish person in the present scenario” he said ending his tale.
I took leave from him soon afterwards. It was really a fascinating story but it
didn’t seem to be linked somehow to my case or the mystery. After finishing
some paper work and reports I called up the local police station where I was
informed about plenty of odd happenings in the valley and the disappearances
that occurred recently. They told me that during a daily collection session a
woman with a infant child that worked in the collectors association disappeared
instantly as she was about to leave for the work. I was really curious about
this particular disappearance because it just happened in a matter of minutes
and not even far away from the group.
I thought that it would be best if I stayed
low for a couple of days and just inquire on my own with the town folks. So, I
went on with my plan and disguised myself as a curious traveler who is very
inquisitive about the disappearances and is willing to offer any help that is
possible. Well, technically I am a tourist as I have no official order to
scrutinize the mystery but I can ask for any official help as a head detective
from the government when needed. When I discussed the matter with the locals I
was not able to discover anything of importance except that the woman before
disappearing was sort of terrorized because of something unknown from the
morning. This fact led me to the idea that she must have been threatened long
before or she knew that she was the target of those people. Whatever was the
matter nothing was clear and perceptibly it wasn’t a typical kidnapping case
that occurred in this sort of areas.
So, to
discover the reality I mixed up with the collectors while they were plucking
their flowers for the perfume factory and herbal uses. I talked with them for
quite a while and started my discussion with some usual greetings and matters
of life as collectors. Then I jumped on to the main topic for which I was going
through all the trouble, to my astonishment even the family members of the
missing woman and infant didn’t knew anything about the disappearance. Now
everything was going out of control, the closest people to the missing were the
woman’s mother who stated that her daughter and infant granddaughter just
disappeared out of the blue!
