Vijay claims that when he returned from Calcutta that night, he received an anonymous letter that called him to Calcutta & threatened to reveal his secrets if he didn't comply. He went to see who the person was. But no one turned up at the meeting point & Vijay waited till 11 pm before coming back home.
Dr Nepal claims that between 10 pm and 11 pm he was playing chess with Mukul. Panu Gopal wants to say something, but no one can understand him. Dr. Bhujangdhar Das claims he was playing the sitar and Laxmi claims she was sewing clothes & didn't hear any sitar notes. Laxmi claims that she likes Bhujangdhar & wanted to learn sitar from him, but Bhujangdhar wanted sexual favors from her and so she refused.
Panu Gopal is found dead a few days later, poisoned by mixing lethal quantities of nicotine in an ear medicine he used to take. Mukul was the first to find his body as well.
Brajadas is found (but he refuses to say why he disappeared after Nishanath's death) & confirms that Bhujangdhar was playing sitar at the night of Nishanath's murder. But he never saw Bhujangdhar. Only heard the sitar sounds.
Braja also says that Damayanti is Lal Singh's wife and that she and Nishanath never got married. Vijay was 13 years old back then & Damayanti was 19. Vijay took pity on Damayanti and hid her in Nishanath's bungalow. When Nishanath found out, he scolded Vijay, but allowed Damayanti to stay.
When Byomkesh again confronts Damayanti, she claims that 7 months ago she got a letter from Lal Singh saying that he needed money & every time he threw a motor part in the house, Damayanti was supposed to put Rs 500 on the colony gate between 10 and 11 pm.
On the night of Nishanath's death, there was no motor part, but Damayanti received a last letter saying that Lal Singh was moving to Punjab and wanted to see Damayanti one last time at the colony gate, between 10 and 11 PM. She was at the gate, but no one came. Byomkesh informs Damayanti that Lal Singh died 2 years ago in jail.
Byomkesh gathers everyone in 1 room and says that Vijay told Nishanath's secret (about Damayanti) to Mukul and Lakshmi. Mukul told Dr Nepal and Laxmi told Dr Bhujangdhar (who is Laxmi's real husband). Bhujangdhar and Laxmi were con artists and Bhujangdhar saw the potential to take over the colony. He got Laxmi in, & got Vijay ensnared in Laxmi. Vijay spilled the secrets and Bhujangdhar started blackmailing Damayanti.
When Nishanath involved Byomkesh, Bhujangdhar decided to eliminate Nishanath & removed Damayanti and Vijay from the house with fake letters. The sitar was being played by Laxmi that night, not Bhujangdhar, who entered Nishanath's house and killed him. Panu Gopal had seen him entering the house, so Bhujangdhar killed him as well.
Bhujangdhar and Laxmi commit suicide by taking cyanide capsules.
