Mehta is absconding since.
Byomkesh goes to sleep that night & is given the same room where Biswas and Hemvati stayed. Sohrab says that the room has been untouched since the couple stayed there. Byomkesh sets the alarm for 7 am, but it goes off at 2 am. The next day Byomkesh finds that Biswas had closed his account the day before his supposed murder. While Mehta's account is still open and has a constant balance in it. Byomkesh finds a Calcutta address in one of the closets and asks Ajit to investigate.
