The autopsy results arrived the next morning.
Poison.
A rare neurotoxin called Tetrodoxin-X.
It worked fast.
Paralyzing the nervous system within minutes.
Kabir leaned back in his chair.
"So someone poisoned him."
Ira tapped the report.
"But how?"
"The drink," Kabir said.
"Probably."
"But the bottle was sealed."
Kabir frowned.
"And the glass?"
"Clean."
Kabir sighed.
"This case makes no sense."
Ira stared at the evidence photos.
Then she noticed something.
Sanjay's phone.
Unlocked.
She opened it.
The last message read:
You shouldn't have come back.
