Disclaimer: The below is based on Sherlock Holmes and Watson but the short conversation is just a part of my imagination and I have not used any of the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Still, if something matches, that is coincidental. Continued from : After a few days, Holmes is sitting by the window side. Watson asks "Now that we have solved the case, may I ask you a few questions?" "Yes dear, I was expecting this." "What was Mr. Ptrikha doing every morning with tea, apart from eating Marie and Digestive biscuits. It was definitely not WhatsApp?" "Yes Watson. The way he used to look down and up and click, I figured he was either responding to Mylot discussions or reading notifications. Occasionally he might have shared a few new ideas as well." "Why was our client suspicious that he could have found some treasure?" "Well Mr.Ptrikha had twice went to eat things like Apple Pie and Chocolate Mousse and at times he spend close to Rs. 300 himself in these new age tea shops." "However, I observed that at times, instead of hiring a costlier auto rickshaw or even a normal rickshaw, he walked to save the money. At times, even in 40C plus temps. So he must not have got any treasures." Watson was suprised "And those eating out and expenses." Holmes took out a shining card from his coat pocket and said "Credit Card. I got a background check and found this guy to have a couple of these and he spends first and pays later. So no mystery here." "And did you took time to read any of his novice writings?" "Well, he submitted a few stories to a site, and I must confess that he has the brain to help Mr. Lestrade at the Scotland Yard to read the brains of some notorious criminals. But he is fond of poetry as well, for which we might have to approach him directly." "As I say this Watson, the 12 Pounds are on their way!!. Enough for our evening Concert near City Centre!!" -- End of the case --

Well, that was pretty simply solved, wasn't it? Credit cards - what would we do without them.

@JudyEv thanks for checking out. In fact, many modern day retail outlets and eating joints would go bankrupt without credit cards.

@JudyEv Yes but in longer run, the Banks gain more from them than the consumers. So we need to keep our debt in control.

So Holmes did solve the case with ease lol. I thought it would remain an unsolved case.
