Fifty Two

One afternoon, Inspector Siam sat in his car with a bottle in hand, leaning back comfortably, after finishing his work. Just as he picked up his phone, he received a call from his department informing him about a murder at House No. 27 on Road No. 13 in Mukulpara. The inspector immediately wrapped up his personal time and rushed to the crime scene. However, what he witnessed there left him utterly shocked, as he had never seen such a gruesome scene before.

Thirteen respectable individuals lay dead in the house's living room, all dressed in attire as it looked like they were having a banquet. Inspector Siam started contemplating the motives behind this mass killing, thinking that these people must have been victims of some financial scheme gone wrong. As he delved deeper into the thought, he caught a whiff of alcohol, which led him to speculate that their deaths might have been resulted of it .

A week later, the forensic report revealed that the cause of death for all the victims was poisoning. Contrary to initial assumptions, it was not a case of scheme fraud but rather a mass suicide. Siam collected a list of the victims' names, among which one caught his attention due to his blinded eyes – a philosopher named Lutsbor, who used to tell stories to schoolchildren.

The twist in the case occurred when Siyam found out that Lutsbor was responsible for an orphanage called "52," which had experienced a tragic fire incident in the past, resulting in the death of all children except one, whom Lutsbor had taken under his wing. Even though Siam tried relentlessly, he couldn't find any trace of that boy. A years passed, and still, the 12 murderers remained elusive, including 52. The case was eventually transferred to CID due to the lack of concrete evidence.

A few more years later an incident occurred – the murder of a patient in a hospital parking lot, with a bullet hole in the victim's head. Inspector Siam was assigned this case and, with the help of CCTV footage, managed to corner a suspect who exhibited suspicious behavior. However, lacking solid evidence, Siyam had to let him go after a brief interrogation. As Siam was leaving, the suspect slipped a note to him containing just the number "52." Unaware of its significance, He casually pocketed the note. But upon reaching home and reading the note, he was struck by the realization of the name' 52 '. The next day, another incident took place – the murder of a political couple. During the investigation, Siam received a call from an unknown number, and a voice message instructed him to go to House No. 19 on A Street. There, he encountered the same man he had encountered before, who was standing on the balcony railing.

The man introduced himself as Kirif and began revealing his involvement in all these incidents. He confessed to being an orphan who had once been associated with Lutsbor and the "52" orphanage. Kirif claimed that he had committed these crimes as a means of revenge against the members of Lutsbor's society, Kirif told the inspector that Lutsbor was a member of a secret society that was scheming to take over the country and they had many plans to do so. One of their goals was to build an army of emotionless people who never would feel any pain sorrow or fear. For this reason, Lutsbor created the orphanage '52' where there were 52 orphans just like e and they were from war regions who already had significance in the realm of violence. But Kirif killed the other 51 orphan children by burning the orphanage to disrupt their schemes but he then realized that he was the only aim of Lutsbor and he was already the monster Lutsbor wanted him to be. the banquet party at the hall where 13 prime members of the society gathered but kirif killed them with the help of a little cyanide. And years later by killing the political couple he finally cut their last of branch. Isnpector Siyam was left amazed by Kirif's revelation and the dark path he had chosen.

Saying this Kirif placed his finger on his own forehead, and told Inspector Siyam, "Do what needs to be done here." But Siyam, now in a state of astonishment and with sweat dripping onto his muscles, hesitates. At this moment, Kirif finally says, "Do it now, or you won't get another chance." Hearing this, Inspector Siyam, in the midst of an unconsciousness and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit Kirifs chest and from the force of it he collapses from the rooftop. With his last eye, Kirif sees nothing but darkness, and his only thought is, "Is this really the end? Do I have to endure the torture of 52 no longer?"

At the same time, Inspector Siam leans over the railing and looks down, seeing a lifeless body fallen from the 10-story building in a sprawling posture. He still can't comprehend what has happened in the past 30 minutes with him.
