It was drizzling. I was walking towards my institute. The murder mysteries, the suspense thrillers and Who is the Killer? The genre least read and watched by many, were still lingering on my mind. Just then, I saw a man lying on the pavement. With his faded T-shirt and dirty jean pant he looked like a beggar. His motionless body made me assumed he was dead. I just could not ignore him but there was no passerby to help me out in solving the case. I went near him, I didn't dare to check his pulse, I was not wearing gloves and the first rule is, never tamper the crime scene.
I ran to the nearest shop and call out the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper acted busy. To make him aware of the situation, I said, 'it might turn out to be a police case and you could be the first person to be interrogated as your shop is nearest to the spot'. He looked blank for a moment. Later, he called his neighbouring shopkeeper, and they went together to check on the man. I watched them from a distant. Much to my relieve, they said that the man was dead drunk but not dead. I thanked them and went my way.
I might have looked dramatic, but I believe, I did the right thing, alerting people of the situation. As of now, I continue to watch murder mysteries. Peace!
