Its been years,I have solved multiple case which were full of mystery but this particular case was not a child's play. I still remember the day when that case was assigned to me.

"Are you ready?" asked the Chief.

"yes sir! " I said.

I was always ready to solve mysterious and thrilling case. Chief had trusted me so rejection would be a disrespect towards him as I was dealing with some personal matters but I accepted the case.

The case was about a girl named Amelia who had been missing for three days her family registered the complain to local police but they were unable to find out any source of contact.

I started basic conversations with her family and friends. Her father told me that she used to live alone in a house near the station so she could reach her collage on time. I went to her house and try to search for hints and clues. The moment I entered the appartment I had strange feeling that someone is keeping an eye on me but I ignored it. I started to search something in hall I found a laptop which needs password so I tried to search for password, I went to upstairs towards her bedroom suddenly a flash appeared in front of me and everything appeared blooded in front of me I got panicked so and got fainted. After an hour I opened my eyes everything was normal and I was just thinking what happened to me right now. I came downstairs, went towards kitchen to have some water and decided to continue investigation the next day so I immediately

went home and take a good sleep.

Next morning I woke up and immediately went to that house again for investigation and to search what the actual hell happened with me. This time I went to upstairs directly and went towards the bedroom directly and found a door there apart from toilet and bathroom. I was shocked to found another room because Amelia's fathet told me that it was one bedroom house with one store room along. Although to complete my full investigation I had to check each and every thing as soon as I entered the room the door get self locked, I got a bit scared. But this time some numbers appeared on the walls of that room seems like which were written with blood. The number was 120800. Then suddenly everything seemed to revolve around me and then the next momemt I was outside the bedroom. I was confused that what is exactly happening. So I came downstairs, I remembered that last night I was trying to crack laptop password and guess what as soon as I entered 120800 the laptop got unlocked. I was shocked because the number which I was searching madly just automatically appeared in front of me. But still Ignoring the fact I just search something in her Laptop. I found an app in which Amelia had her chatting account. She used to chat alot with a guy called Joe who seemed to be her online boyfriend. Then I read her emails which were also from Joe. I doubted and started investigating about Joe. I found some other girls were joined with Joe too.

Then I searched for the other girls name and found out those girls were also missing, now I was sure that the missing case is completely related with that guy Joe. His bio said that he was 24 years old, fair and good looking man. There was nothing much other than these information. So I continued investigating the house till evening.

At 12pm I looked at the clock and decided to stop the investigation for now and to continue it tomorrow but a sudden thought come to my mind to check the bedroom once again. I went upstairs and was completely shocked, there was literally an upside down body floating on air and giving me a creepy smile. I shouted immediately and it slowly came towards me, I ran out from there as fast as I can and came back home. I was trying to decode what is actually happening in that house maybe that house was haunted and Amelia got that house in a cheap rate so she purchased it. From some sources I found out she barely lived in that house for one week. At 2pm I again went to that house to search for something this time I tried to search in store room but was unable as it was locked. Feeling scary still I went upstairs to check something and found out everything is back to normal but for few minutes only, after half an hour again scary things started to happen like opening and closing of doors, on and off of tv agin and again. I came downstairs and try to ran away but the main door was locked from inside seems like someone intentionally did it. And then I found a foul smell surrounding me, it was coming from kitchen so I checked the kitchen area and found there was blood coming out from the last cabinet under the sink. I opened and found none other than body of Joe inside. I got panicked and was just thinking to ran to get myself out of this but it seems like I was trapped. I tried to open every door of whatever room I see and found that store room seems to be unlocked out of nowhere. The moment I opened the door I saw Amelia's dead body with 10 other girls body in that room, the girls were none other than the girls from Joe's chatting account. The whole room was full of blood and then I heard a voice from behind "Nice to meet you detective".

The guy was none other than Amelia's father who was behind these all murders. I call my team to quickly seal the house and arrest Amelia's Father as soon as I tried to get out of the house. Luckily the team reached on time but the culprit escaped.

It was revealed that Amelia's Father killed Joe and used his account to talk with other girls to force them on himself, if the girl disagrees he used to kill her. Same he did with his daughter as he used to harass her and forces her one day she left the house, he stalked her and killed her after some days.

But the strange part is that after the whole incident he was found dead at his own house holding a knife on his hand. His death was not justifyied as it was neither a suicide nor a murder. What it was is still a mystery!!
