He is in search for the details of an old Bengali movie song (Bhalobasa tumi ki jano) and the actress of this song as he thinks that she is hiding somewhere inside his huge nursery ‘golap colony’. Nishith as a judge he hanged at least 8 persons, but after his retirement, due to regrets, he sheltered a few homeless people, who have either long criminal records or disgraceful social experience. Those people live in the small cottages inside his rose nursery, and he believes that the actress is also living with them with a hidden identity. Byomkesh listens to everything and accepts the case. He paid him the advance and requests him to visit his nursery. Byomkesh feels the case is very interesting and exceptional one.

The next day Byomkesh and Ajit visit Sen’s 24 pargana’s bunglow and nursery to meet the residents whom sen had sheltered. Byomkesh disguised himself as a Japanese horticulturist named Mr Okakura while Ajit as his Indian assistant. Mr sen shows them the entire nursery including dairy, poultry and an orchid house. He introduces all the residents and Byomkesh photographed everyone. Within a few days Mr Sen makes another phone call to Byomkesh requesting him to visit again, but his conversation remained unfinished as Mr Sen is stabbed with a blunt weapon. Byomkesh hears about his death from G.C. Bornal's phone in the next morning. Bornal requests him for his co operation to investigate on Sen’s murder. Byomkesh and Ajit rushed there immediately and interrogated each and everyone concerned with Mr Sen’s nurrsery. After a thorough investigation, Byomkesh realises that the case is not so easy to solve as there are several motives and people behind sen’s death. After a few days another murder occurred inside the golap colony, this time the victin is Panu a deaf and dumb and one of the suspects behind Nishith Sen's murder. This time also the killer used the same weapon and process as done earlier. Byomkesh again reaches the spot, examined everything and decided to records the interrogation in his voice recorder. Two cases come to him in parallel- first, where is Sunayani and secondly, while his investigation goes on he interrogated all the suspects Bijoy (Mr Sen’s nephew), Raiklal Muskil Mian, Brajo Das, (employees of Sen) Nepal Gupta (Professor) and Dr Das (a physician) all the women including Mrs Damayanti (Sen’s widow), Mukul (Nepal’s daughter) Nazar bibi (Muskils wife) and Banalakshimi – one among the list of suspected.

One day Brajo comes to his house and confesses about his lord’s personal life. Mrs. Damayanti sen is not late Nishith’s legal wife but a live-in partner for years. Nishith charged her husband Lal’s arrest, Lal was not hanged but imprisoned for 14 years . G.C. is quiet confident that Lal has taken the revenge.
