Man In Black - Season 1 - Episode 76

“This is the place?”
“Yes sir,” said Kunley said as he undid his seatbelt.

“Very rich woman, wasn’t she?” Clyde said as he peered through the windscreen at the exquisite blue-painted house. In most parts of Europe, but most especially in the States, majority of the population lived in general apartments. For someone to have a house like this, a duplex house, walled and gated off and with such magnificient pillars holding up the front porch, he— or she, in this case —had to have had a lot of money.

They both got out, and Kunley brought out a large ring of keys from his pocket and opened the smaller gate. They went in, and he locked it from behind. The ground was interlocked, with dried-up hedges lining the walls. They started up to the front entrance and unlocked the doors. Their footsteps echoed within the big house. The sitting room was very big, as it alone was one-storey, empty of anything up to the ceiling of the first floor where a chandelier was hung.

“This way to the bedroom, sir,” Kunley said, indicating a staircase to the left of the living room. Clyde stood staring at the regal chairs, fifty-incher flat-screen and framed photographs on the walls. Exquisite on the inside as well as on the outside.
He joined Kunley on the staircase, a winding staircase with steps of polished wood, steps which hung down from the ceiling on shiny steel cables. Upstairs, they entered a tiled corridor not much different from a hotel corridor, with doors only on the left. The whole house, the sourroundings outside and the sitting room downstairs, all bore the signs of a place closed off due to police investigation: dust and cobwebs, and a general air of disuse.
