He looked around the crime scene and saw tyre trails on the road. He could make out that the murderer could have fled the scene on a thin tyre motorcycle. He looked for footsteps and blood trails which could give him a clue about the murderer. He called in 2 detectives, one Indian and one French. The name of the Indian detective was Indersingh Kukreja and the French detective’s name was Scott Ashton. Scott was a 5 star rated detective and Indersingh was a junior and a new detective. With the help of a magnifying glass, they looked at the tyre marks closely. They wrote down the observations and gave it for inspection.

Once they reached the office, they showed their ID- cards to get entry into the office and talk to the head of the brand. They showed the observations to the boss and asked him to get the unique tyre code and help them get the details of the person who installed these tyres. The owner cross checked with the company’s servers and found out the details of the bike’s owner. They noted the details and left the office. The house of the suspect was close-by. Once they reached their, they prepared their guns for defence and for threatening the suspect. They rung the bell and waited for someone to open the door. The door opened. An old man opened the door.
