The Alter Ego - The changing face of man Part 4

Next what I did was, Since I am unable to trace out this case. I thought I would rather simultaneously pick up another case also. The case of the missing dean, If he is found, I can at least know the character traits and the circumstances that led to dismissing Jeevan.


In the hope, I went and met the acting dean, This time since I was more familiar a figure, I was offered a chair, Tea as I entered the room. The acting dean was not a old one. If one were to see that there is a difference of this many years between the actual dean and the acting dean, Even this acting dean would also have been a suspect in the case of the missing dean.


We started our conversation. I inquired the acting dean about the case. I wanted to check the belongings of the dean room and about his family and where did he live and all that.



The Acting dean now started the story :

The Dean was a bachelor and he hasn't got a family. He used to live a simple life dedicated to work all the time. 3 weeks back he suspended Dr.Jeevan otherwise Dr.Jeevan should be the acting dean in his place. He has got a house just to sleep during odd hours just behind the hospital. But the dean used to spend almost all the day in the hospital. So, most of his belongings, clothes etc., can be found in the hospital itself. He showed me the way to that room. I entered it it was simple as for the man. But different from an usual corporate hospital dean's room. It has a closet full of clothes a glass rack which contained glass tumblers, porcelain utensils, a long glass jar to fill water in, A water purifier, a microwave.
             The dean has split the room into two one side being his office and the other being a dormitory for self where he would not need to go out for anything. He can cook, sleep on a comfortable couch, read books from the bookshelf, make notes of the case at the office desk. Can access internet from his laptop, play the odd little game near the adjacent garden that has a badminton court in it. So, I was going through every little detail that I could find in this room. I looked around in the room for any traces of material by which I could get a clue of why the dean went missing.There is another place in the room that points to the actual house of the dean through the window. I went to the window at the far end of the room. This time I found something amusing. There was stinking smell all around and a dog was found carrying a bloody flesh in its mouth. I ran to the acting deans office and asked him about it. But he too was unaware of it. Only the deans room has the access to backyard of the hospital other than the mortuary. The mortuary has a back door from where the dead bodies will be brought in without affecting the normal public. I along with the acting dean went to the mortuary entered through the back door and went in the direction from which the stinking smell was coming. As we approached closer we could see the dead body of a man torn into to pieces probably by the dogs and other animals near by. We went further closer to the body, the body was totally decomposed and we could barely see the face, but to our luck an Id that was cut to half is found just beside the body. The name on the card read Ramana. The acting dean reported that he is the attender at the mortuary.

The case is getting too complicated now. There are a total of 4 cases to be solved involving Jeevan dismissal from the hospital, Missing of the dean, Murder of Jeevan's father by Jeevan himself, and now the latest entry death of Ramana, the attender at the mortuary.
