The first is the Chinese gang warfare over opium, turned into untraceable heroin by Bhuvan babu's secret formula. Byomkesh finds there are two plots together here. Making a wall-painting of the entire crime, Byomkesh has the heroin presence confirmed by Leela's chemist husband who says this heroin is very hard to trace and made from opium - which Dao, who admits he's an undercover cop, tells Byomkesh has practically vanished from the city. He tries some of Bhuvan babu's paan masala and finds it is laced with heroin. They return to the lodgers' house where Byomkesh feels low. Byomkesh takes a paper out from the student's pocket - it's a map of Calcutta's river route. Byomkesh and Ajit change their costumes and then follow the student back to the dentist's - where they find the secretary and student brutally murdered with a shadowy character escaping in a car. Another member of Sukumar's party recognizes them and follows them at Watanabe's orders. Byomkesh and Ajit go to the temple, pretending they have a link with Sukumar's political party, but Watanabe is suspicious. Watnabe's clinic where the secretary says Watanabe is at the temple. Byomkesh finds the Sardarji cabbie Sukumar drove off with, reaching a Japanese dentist Dr. Sukumar's sister Satyawati pleads with Byomkesh to help her brother, who's driven off earlier in a cab used by Byomkesh. Suspicion falls on his rebellious nephew Sukumar who has opened a rival political party and is militant about India's freedom from the British. He gently rebuffs her but when he goes to meet Sikdar, the latter is suddenly poisoned and dies. Sikdar is freed and Byomkesh follows him home but is detained by Angoori who tries to kiss him. Guha vanishes but sends Byomkesh a note, admitting he was blackmailing Sikdar, not Bhuvan babu. Sikdar is brought in by police commissioner Wilkie for questioning - but just then, Byomkesh discovers he's wrong and Sikdar is being framed as the newspapers only reach the lodging house at 8:30 AM every day while the blackmail letters were stamped at 7:30 AM at the post office, showing a false detail. Poking around in the factory, they find Bhuvan's slashed, decomposed body stuffed into a machine. Guha and they pretend to the watchmen that they've come to fix a mouse problem. Byomkesh goes back to the factory with Dr. He's convinced Sikdar has killed Bhuvan when the latter tried to blackmail him. In her studio, as she shoots, Byomkesh opens the bag and finds letters from cut-out newspapers, blackmailing the factory owner Sikdar babu, a friend of Angoori's. In the car, when he asks if she knows of Bhuvan, she pulls her handbag nervously to herself. She's amused by him and offers him a ride home. There he sees film star Angoori taking a swim. Byomkesh visits the Sikdar chemical factory, now shut down, where Bhuvan used to work. Byomkesh is convinced Bhuvan has been killed as his box and money are still in his room. He also finds Bhuvan's beloved paan box is still in his room, hidden by his roommate who's oddly addicted to the paan masala.
