Death of a scientist

Any leads ? asked Andrei to Romanov . Romanov did not even hear the question , he was busy looking at the glass panes at the top floor . His gaze could not be averted . Could he also seen him ? though Plato as he too saw Romanov looking at the same place , where Plato saw the shadow . Plato went through the happenings , as though he was trying to find some clues , like an official would . Plato moved away from the both of them , and went around the block . Andrei looked around and could not find Plato , so he went searching , he too circling the block . In the Midst of this Chaos , Romanov thought that he was too old for that , so he stood still . Finally , Andrei saw Plato around the corner of the block . Plato , Plato , he called out . But Plato was too occupied in his search to hear the words of Andrei . Andrei ran over , catching the eyes of the officers , and finally caught up with Plato . What are you searching for ? asked Andrei . And don't you think the officers are not looking at you with suspicion . I'm searching for Sergey , said Plato without any apprehension . Sergey ? you are again going on with this Sergey nonsense . Said Andrei . Andrei , I think it was Sergey , the shadow I saw , and , . And what ? asked Andrei . And I think he is the killer . It all connects , replied Plato . Andrei looked around to see , if anyone was close by to listen to what they were talking about . Lets go back there , said Andrei . Plato obliged. As the two of them walked over to where Romanov was standing , the old man still looked unconcerned . As they walked over , an official called them . Hey , you two , said the official . Come over here , he said to them . Yes sir , said the both of them . Stand right over there he instructed , the official pointed them towards the place where all the truck drivers where standing . The two of them went and stood there along with rest of the colleagues . There was some thing happening at the entrance of the building , the officer was busy taking notes from the receptionist , the lady who was an acquaintance of Plato . Andrei did not dare to look elsewhere , he stood firm . While an officer was taking the statement of the receptionist , there was another officer approaching them . He called them one by and one and took notes . Andrei went before Plato . Andrei gave a long statement , making the rest of them to think that he was giving a detail of the how the crime was committed . After Andrei was finished , the officer who was taking notes went to light a cigarette . He returned after a few minutes and called Plato in . Plato went and gave a statement and took quarter the time that Andrei took . When he returned , Andrei took him over to the side . Plato , you did not mention to him about the shadow you saw right . No , I did not , replied Plato . Good , replied Andrei . They looked over at the old man Romanov , and for the first time that evening he looked serious and sturdy , while giving his statement . Andrei joked to Plato , this man must be a mastermind genius disguised as a common worker . Rightly so , replied Plato . As the both of them went in and joined their colleagues . The chief of police came out from the main building along with Mr. Peter . There was silence among the other officers and as well as the plant workers and staff . The chief came down the stairs while the director stood on top . The chief signaled to the officers , asking them if they have taken the statements of everyone who were present . Most of them said yes , while a few of them said that they were almost done . Get it done quickly , he said to the officers . And the chief got in his SUV and left the place . Romanov , called out a voice from the mina building . Plato looked over to see who it was . It was the Director . Why is the director calling Romanov , asked Andrei to Plato . I do not know , replied Plato . You can all leave , said the officer who was taking their statements . Everyone started to leave . Plato was busy looking at Romanov who was headed towards the Director. Let us go , said Andrei to Plato . The both of them left the plant and headed back home .

As they were walking home , a large black SUV stopped by them . The window rolled down . Get in , said a voice . The two of them got in without any hesitation . The car sped away . Where are we going ? asked Plato . You will know it in a minute , replied Sergey . Andrei was too shocked to talk . He was beginning to think that the killer was Sergey indeed . Andrei looked at Plato as in to say and acknowledge that he maybe right . Plato looked away , trying to figure out where they were headed . The car was taking a route which was starting to look similar to them . Sergey pretty much kept to himself . Plato however spotted something , a large shiny suitcase that Romanov mentioned . Sergey was carrying it .
