Our house is in Neelankarai.An individual bungalow near the beach.

Roughly how far is it from the beach?-343 feet.

My younger sister and Imeasured it with a scale, sometime ago.

Our puppy's name is Nemo.

Every night at 9:30, I open the gateto let him out.

He'd go relieve himselfand be back at 9:40.

But he didn't last night.

Oh, a missing dog?

No. A dead dog.

Nemo didn't come back until midnight.

I told my mother about it.

She told me that he'll be back laterat night, and that I should sleep.

I just kept staring outside the window.

At 1:
00 A.M., my sister and Iwoke our parents up.

My father opened the gate and went out.

About twenty feet from our gate,we found Nemo lying dead.

When we shined a torch at him,we saw that Nemo was covered in blood.

What breed is Nemo?-Pomeranian.

My sister and I cried all night.

I asked my parents to call the police.

A constable came by at 1.40 A.M.

He said that he was very busyand not to make a big fuss over this, yes?

He left after saying that the police dept.would buy us another dog, if we wanted one.

Your parents buried the dogin the house's garden.

My parents went to a wedding eventthis morning.

My sister said she wanted to see Nemo.

I took a rod and started digging.

When my father buried Nemo,he wrapped him up with a white cloth.

And inside it, was my Nemo...

As we were staring at it,our parents returned.

My father scolded us badly.

I placed Nemo in the pitand my father shoveled mud onto it!

Okay, stay calm...-Wait!

I put my hand into Nemo's bloody bodywhile placing him back into the pit...

...and found this.

It's a bullet, Kani.

I've seen the 'Sherlock Holmes' TV series.

But, he's not real.

I need to find Nemo's killer.

But I don't know how to find him.Can you do that for me, please?

This is the pocket moneythat my parents gave me.

Eight hundred and thirty seven rupees.

Keeping this as your fee,can you find Nemo's killer for me, uncle?

If I find the killer and bring him to you,what will you do?

I'd ask him, "Why did you kill my dog?How did you have the heart to do it?"

Show him out, Mano.Get his address before coming back in.

Will you take up this case, uncle?-Yes.

Come along, now.

Yes, who is it?

One moment, please.Joel! Call for you!

My sister's husband?But I don't have a sister.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Listen, Kani. I helped you out once.Why do you keep bothering me like this?

I work for the police.What will it be like if I keep helping you?

It would be like you are helping me.

You helped me with a case.I don't deny that.

If the commissioner learnsthat the forensic report...

...of the triple murder was false...

...he'd transfer the entire departmentto Ramanathapuram.
